Forty Miles From Poplar Bluff lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I've never had a pair of shoes that weren't all hand-me-downs
And daddy's morning coffee came from ol' left over ground
My mama wore no jewelry or any storebought stuff
And home was on a hillside forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missouri there's a different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Our only family treasure was a beatup radio
But it took us to the places where we knew we'd never go
We never had much money but we always had enough
Cause money never mattered much forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missouri there's a different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Well, nearly every winter when the snow is on the ground
And the roads would all be closed and we couldn't get to town
But if daddy had his tabaccer grandma had her snuff
Then the winters didn't seem so long forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missouri there's a different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Tomorrow Is Forever lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterday
And walk with me into the future of tomorrow
Yesterday must be forgot no looking back no matter what
There's nothing there but mem'ries that bring sorrow
Yesterday is gone gone but tomorrow is forever
No more crying tears leave tracks and mem'ries find their way back
Tomorrow's waking let's journey there together
Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today
Yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting
We must forget the passing time my love for you is the real kind
The kind that won't hurt you no never
Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
Just Someone I Used To Know lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
(originally by George Jones)
There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that's lost its glow
But I don't tell them of the nights I cried without you
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just someone I used to know
I say just someone I used to know
Each Season Changes You lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Like the weather your heart changes with each season
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you
It was springtime when I found you like the flowers
And our love grew warmer with the summer sun
In the fall I could see our love was changing
It broke my heart to see what wintertime had done
Like the weather your heart changes with each season
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you
Came the spring again you said that you were sorry
And the summer brought a golden memory
In the fall I saw your love was changing
And the winter brought the same old misery
Like the weather your heart changes with each season
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you
We Can't Let This Happen To Us lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Lately we're acting as if we were strangers
For a moment with each other we don't take time
With our work and busy schedules of things we think important
Seems we've left the most important things behind
And we can't let this happen to us
The hills that we climb may seem rough
And the mountains between could shadow our dreams
And we can't let this happen to us
We can't let this happen to us
We must cherish each smile and tender touch
For the castles we've built could all crumble to dust
And we can't let this happen to us
No we can't let this happen to us
Mendy Never Sleeps lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Mendy is sixteen and uncontrollable Mendy is only a child
Mendy is in with the in-crowd Mendy is ever so wild
Mendy's hair hangs straight and long Mendy feels this is a must
Mini skirts and many friends and many horrors for us
Mendy finds a plenty to do but Mendy never sleeps
Mendy slips out of the house in the evening when the sun is sinking
Mendy is out with the in-crowd Mendy is smoking and drinking
There's a different shine in Mendy's eyes
And the color is gone from her cheeks
Mendy is a swinger but Mendy never sleeps
Mendy never sleeps and Mendy is growing weak
Mendy lies lifeless and limpid are her eyes
Now oh Mendy, please, don't go to sleep
Silver Sandals lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday
To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played
She walks with us in memories we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
The grave in which she sleeps is cold but our thoughts of her are warm
And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms
Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet
With silver sandals on her little feet
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
And it would break our hearts when she'd ask us why she couldn't walk
She'd say when I go to heaven can I change my crutches then
For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
In silver sandals walking through our minds
No Love Left lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
There's no love left our love's beyond help
Why do we keep on tryin' when there's no love left
The feeling we felt for each other
For a long time now has been dying
We'd both be better off without each other
We can't bring it back to life why do we keep trying
There's no love left our love's beyond help
Why do we keep on tryin' when there's no love left
When love is gone it's gone and you can't bring it back
When the warm sun goes down it turns cold
We both might as well just accept the fact
There's nothing warm left for us to hold
There's no love left our love's beyond help
Why do we keep on tryin' when there's no love left
There's no love left our love's beyond help
Why do we keep on tryin' when there's no love left
It Might As Well Be Me lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I'm lookin' for a way to get out
There's no hope for you and me
We'll never get along
Everything we do is wrong
You and I both know one of us has to go
And it might as well be me
We stopped loving a long time ago
And now all we do is disagree
There's no use to pretend
There's no need to try again
You and I both know one of us has to go
And it might as well be me
There's no use for us to live a lie
When we're just wasting the best years of our lives
We'll never get along everything we do is wrong
You and I both know one of us has to go
And it might as well be me
You and I both know one of us has to go
And it might as well be me
Run That By Me One More Time lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Run that by me one more time
To make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
And I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time?
Well, you're late again, I see
What's your excuse this time?
Don't you try to kiss and make up
When you smell so strong from wine
Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
You need to wind Big Ben
Honey, that's not wine you smell
That's aftershave for men
Would you run that by me one more time?
What happened to the money
I gave you to pay the rent?
The rent is overdue
And we ain't got one red cent
I put it in the cookie jar
The day you brought it home
One day when I came back from town
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone
Would you run that by me one more time?
I'm Wasting Your Time (And You're Wasting Mine) lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
There's nothing left to tie us to each other anymore
The love we knew is gone and that's a fact we can't ignore
There's nothing left to lose ends on all the ties that bind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
There's no use in wasting the good years that we have left
When we might find happiness with somebody else
There's no chance for us we can see it we're not blind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
The blame belongs to both of us I guess we didn't try
Love is like a garden without care we let it die
The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
The blame belongs to both of us I guess we didn't try
Love is like a garden without care we let it die
The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
Though it hurts we know we must leave it all behind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
You're wasting mine you're wasting mine
Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Daddy was an old time preacher man
He preacher the word of God throughout the land
He preached so plain a child could understand
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
He told the people of he need to pray
He talked about God's wrath and judgement day
He preached about the great eternity
He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Aunt Leanona would get up to testify
And we'd sing "In The Sweet By And By"
The we'd sing "I'm On My Way To Canaan Land"
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Revivals and camp meetings went for weeks
Folks came from all around to hear him preach
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all
But the aisles were always filled at altar calls
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Daddy worked for God but asked for no pay
For he believed that God provides a way
We never had a lot but we got by
Guess it's 'cause the Lord was on Daddy's side
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
I Know You're Married But I Love You Still lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
You know I love you and I always will
I know you're married but I love you still
The day I met you my heart spoke to me
It said to love you through eternity
Not knowing that you were another's bride
I vowed I'd always be close by your side
You know I love you and I always will
I know you're married but I love you still
You broke a heart, dear, that would die for you
I'd give this world, dear, to belong to you
The game is over, now I and we've both lost
Our broken hearts will have to pay the cost
You know I love you and I always will
I know you're married but I love you still
Thoughtfulness lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Thoughtfulness tenderness makes love grow stronger
Thoughtfulness brings happiness makes love last much longer
Love is like a tender young flower
It needs care from the time you sow
Tender words of love are like summer showers
Makes love strong when cold winds blow
Thoughtfulness tenderness makes love grow stronger
Thoughtfulness brings happiness makes love last much longer
Pull out the weeds of doubt and jealousy give love a chance to grow
Kisses are like sunshine you'll soon see love can bloom even in the snow
Thoughtfulness tenderness makes love grow stronger
Thoughtfulness brings happiness thoughtfulness thoughtfulness
Fight And Scratch lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Fight and scratch fight and scratch that's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you
You you to fight and scratch with you
Well, you just bought a foal last month now you want a wig
It looks like you couldn't understand my paycheck ain't that big
Well, what about the dough you lose in them poker games downtown
I figured you'd mention that smart aleck
Yeah, and that brand new boat and that fishin' gear
But no uh-huh I don't reckon that'd count really
Fight and scratch fight and scratch that's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you
You you to fight and scratch with you
Sometimes I swear I think that you're the devil in disguise
'Cause when you're mad you oughta see the fire fly from your eyes
Well, you don't look so cute yourself when you're mad at me
And if you don't like the way I look then you know how to leave Bossy Catfish
Fight and scratch fight and scratch that's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you
You you to fight and scratch with you
Well, I love you and you love me but we're always findin' fault
But the way we fight you wouldn't know that we had any love at all
We just fight like cats and dogs we'll leave then come right back
For what excitement would we have if we didn't fight and scratch
Fight and scratch fight and scratch that's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you
You you to fight and scratch with you
Why don't you drop dead oh you'd like me to and I'll live forever just for spite
Why don't you keep your big mouth shot
Well, why don't you just make me if you think you're big enough
Yeah, and I could whip you with both hands tied behind
Yeah, you just try it with me and I'll knock your brains out
With a stick of soap that's good Catfish
What's a catfish why'd you call me that
They're all mouth and no brains boy that's really good
It's all I can do to keep from laughin' hah
That's funny you sure are a fynny little fellow
Before Our Weakness Gets Too Strong lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
What are we doin' in this place alone
Is our desire to relive our past this strong
The love we knew in the past is gone but our weakness lingers on
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold
If we live our past in the present, our future will be gone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Blind with temptation we race into the past
On a road too small to let the past and present pass
Are we going too fast to turn back and leave the past alone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold
If we live our past in the present, our future will be gone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Once More lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Once more to be with you, dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Forget the past this hurt can't last
So I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I need say you'll love me
And say you'll give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you, dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Once more to be with you, dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
One Day At A Time lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Life has dealt us our fair share of pain along the way
And many dreams have withered on the vine
But dreams are all such fleeting things and happiness is now
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
In all the stormy weather love has always seen us through
Happiness is knowing that you're mine
Why worry about tomorrow for tomorrow may not come
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes
Each day is just a gift so don't be blind
Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
We may not have a fortune making plans to change the world
We may leave little marks in life's design
But as long as we're together every hour is filled with love
And we'll just live our lives one day at a time
Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes
Each day is just a gift so don't be blind
Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
We'll just live our lives one day at a time
Ragged Angel lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Cindy was a ragged angel just a poor little girl on the street
Cindy's eyes showed signs of hunger never had enough to eat
Cindy was a ragged angel golden hair and eyes of blue
Cindy loved her paper dolly that's the only love she knew
Cindy never knew her daddy and her mommie was seldom home
Except for Cindy's paper dolly Cindy was all alone
Cindy slept with her paper dolly on a blanket on the floor
She would shiver as the wind blew through the crack beneath the door
One night she laid with her paper dolly cold and hungry on the floor
That night God came for the ragged angel
And now Cindy won't ever be cold and hungry no not anymore
Ragged angel
A Good Understanding lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
When we married we agreed that we'd both do as we please
Just as long as we done each other right
Through the years our love has grown now our love is twice as strong
'Cause we've got a good understanding
Yes, we've got a good understanding
And a love that has never been demanding
We both love each other so and that's all we need to know
'Cause we've got a good understanding
It's been your unselfish love that has always helped me up
When temptation reached out its hand to see
And when I could have gone wrong I would think of you at home
And I'd think about our good understanding
Yes, we've got a good understanding
And a love that has never been demanding
We both love each other so and that's all we need to know
'Cause we've got a good understanding
Let's Live For Tonight lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Let's live for tonight dear it's better that way
Tomorrow we might be apart
Let's live for tonight dear let love have its way
For tomorrow we could have two broken hearts
Let's cast all our worries and heartaches aside
Forget what the future might hold
Let's live for tonight dear in a world all our own
For tomorrow we may have to be alone
Let's live for tonight dear and try to pretend
That we will never be alone
No matter what happened this night will be ours
What tomorrow brings nobody ever knows
For tomorrow we may have to be alone
