5000 Country Music Songs |
I started writing country songs in 1962 |
Just a dream that I had on my mind |
My girl and I got married in 1963 |
We tried so hard to keep our dreams alive |
So I bought an old house-trailer out on the country side |
You can’t write country songs in town they say |
We packed up and moved out there and as the time went by |
We found that we liked living free that way |
I got me an old Cadillac just to have around |
Cadillacs and country songs were meant to be |
I heard that old Hank Williams drove one just like mine |
So I thought that something might rub off on me |
You can take what you want after I’m gone |
It’s only just a little place that we called home sweet home |
One old house trailer two rusty Cadillacs and 5000 country music songs |
I always sent my songs up to Nashville town |
In Gase the boys could use a guy like me |
But the mailman brought 'em right back down and I think it made him sad |
You’re bound to get you one just wait and see |
I recall the year Ray Price came through town |
His tour bus parked about a mile from here |
I sat there in the backseat of that old Coupe De Ville |
Those shoes were just too big to fill that year |
A song on Bobby Bare would take you anywhere |
If I’m still here it wasn’t for lack of trying |
My wife would tell me Honey I’m feelin' somethin' there |
Don’t care if Bobby never reads a line |
Then late one Summer evening she called me to her side |
Saying sing me something in your real old style |
The one I like to hear Bobby Bare passed by |
I’ll just close my eyes and rest a while |
Well she liked that big old tree and the honeysuckle vine |
And the mocking bird that sang so tenderly |
I just packed up all those song words and my old guitar |
I locked them up and threw away the key |
