Why Cry lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I don't think I'll be a fool tonight
Just because our love's not going right
It does no good at all to walk the floor
And listen for your knock upon my door
Why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
You'll just break my heart in two
If your love is just a lie
Why cry?
I could shed a million tears, but what's the use
'Cause these two eyes have took enough abuse
And even though it cuts me to the bone
Crying's never gonna bring you home
So why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
And you'll just break my heart in two
If your love is just a lie
Why cry?
Drop by drop I've wasted time
Heartache over you
I need to get control of me
Find somebody new
So why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
You'll just break my heart in two
Your love is just a lie
Why cry?
Your love is just a lie
Why cry?
A Rose Between Two Thorns lyrics - Crystal Gayle
She is weeping, there's no sleeping
Underneath their angry roar
They can't hear her, she can't figure
What they're always fighting for
Every night they end up this way
Tearing each other apart
And hearing them say she's the reason they stay together
Just breaks her heart
She's a rose between two thorns
A calm between two storms
And through the bitter words and slamming doors
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
They fight each other but they both love her
She's their only common ground
She can't take it, but she'll have to make it
Someday they won't be around
A day don't go by she don't wonder why
They brought her into this world
So each night she prays that it won't be this way
When she has her own little girl
Shes a rose between two thorns
A calm between two storms
And through the bitter words and slamming doors
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
The Trouble With Me (Is You) lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Lately I've been spending all my time alone
All my friends say I spend too much time at home
They say that's my trouble
Trouble is that's not true
The trouble with me is you
The trouble with me
Is you're with someone else
I've tried to forget you
But nothing seems to help
If lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
Living it up they say is the way to live you down
But can't they see your memory's just too strong to drown
I ain't got no trouble with a glass of wine or two
The trouble with me is you
The trouble with me
Is you're with someone else
I've tried to forget you
But nothing seems to help
If lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
Oh, if lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Jimmy Buffett)
There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents they take us and sweep us away
That's why we're sailing and've seen us
And a ladder of cold holiday
Lots of new friends with the same old dancers
Open your eyes you might see
If a life without simple with living a past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
If the phone doesn't ring you know that it's me
Of the other the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring you know that I'll be
With someone can make me feel won
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
I've had good days and bad days
And going half mad days
I've tried to let go but you're still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways I'm searching for new place
Putting it all on the line
Lots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes you might see
If a life's without something would live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
If the phone doesn't ring you'll know that it's me
Of the other the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring you know that I'll be
With someone can make me feel won
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
If it takes all the future we'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
One Less Set Of Footsteps lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Jim Croce)
We been running away from
Something we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I think I better go
So don't be getting excited
When you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
And we've been hidin' from somethin'
That should have never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are
And you've been talkin' in silence
But if it's silence you adore
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
The Least That I Can Do lyrics - Crystal Gayle
You don't have to say you're sorry
You don't owe me anything
I've got the years we've shared
Just let that be enough
I don't want to lose you
Or feel the hurt I'm going through
But if that says I love you
That's the least I can do
I've finally found a way to make you happy
I've always wanted to
I'll keep my arms from reaching out, I'll let you go
If that's what's best for you
It's not that I don't need you
I've got everything to lose
But if that says I love you
That's the least that I can do
I've finally found a way to make you happy
I've always wanted to
I'll keep my arms from reaching out, I'll let you go
If that's what's best for you
I don't want to lose you
Or feel the hurt I'm going through
But if that says I love you
That's the least that I can do
You know I'll always love you
That's the least that I can do
Love To, Can't Do lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Somewhere along the way I fell in love
I promised not to stray but now you're trying to make it rough
You've shoulda not look so good and I should not be here
But hardest racin' the headest spinnin'
But one thing here is clear
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here tonight
So many older roads that I could take
Think that I'll just did on home back to my own interstate
Your mood is full of pressure and I'm full of fear
Hardest racin' the headest spinning, I'll better get out of here
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby, everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do
Love to but I can't do, hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
99% Of The Time lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Well it's over, so long
There's no shoulder, to lean on
But I'm doing alright standing on my own
I can depend on me
Now everything I wanted to do
I'm doing it now that I'm living without you
And suddenly right out of the blue
I just can't help it, I'm thinking about you
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
Oh I wonder sometimes
Do you ever miss the good times
Oh do you wanna call me on the telephone
The nights when you're alone
I hear your doing just fine
Are you really happy living without me
I know I'm gonna get by
But I'll still be here if you're thinking about me
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
And suddenly right out of the blue
I just can't help it, I'm thinking about you
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating (still beating)
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
Living In Tears lyrics - Crystal Gayle
In tears
How could he leave me
In tears
And just throw away
All the love that we made
For all of those years
How could he leave me in tears
In love
I woke up to find him
In love
With somebody else
Now I just can't help
Wonderin' how I got here
Living my life in tears
Funny how things can change
Funny how the tables turn
When the fires of love die down
Someone's bound to wind up burned
Funny how things can change
Funny how the tables turn
When the fires of love die down
Someone's bound to wind up burned
In time
My eyes will dry
In time
And the hurt that I feel
Will somehow heal and then disappear
And I won't be living in tears
No I won't be living in tears
Three Good Reasons lyrics - Crystal Gayle
She was thirty years something when she crossed the line
Between southern Virginia and North Carolina
She was running away from a broken heart
With two sleeping children in the back of the car
The man she had promised her whole life to
Had told her that he'd found somebody new
Part of her wished she could lay down and die
But the part in charge looked him straight in the eyes instead
And that's when she said
Instead
I've got three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one will soon be turning five
The third one is a woman
Who still has her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
She called some friends up in Rocky Mount
Who said they'd be glad to help her out
They put her and the children in the spare bedroom
She promised she'd find her own place soon
And she thanked 'em for their help
And said softly to herself
I've got three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one will soon be turning five
The third one is a woman
Who still has her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
Now she's made a brand new home
Her laughter's back, her tears are gone
If you ask what made her strong
She'll just smile and say
I had three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one has just turned five
The third one is a woman
Who never lost her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
Oh I had three good reasons to survive
Three good reasons
To survive
Oh, three good reasons to survive
Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
Just like the trees along the river bend
Lift up the branches to the sun above
We spent our lifetimes reaching for a friend
Cause everybody reach someone to love
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
I wanted you since the day my life began
I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your hand
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
It Ain't Gonna Worry My Mind lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Same old story, they all hand me
Preacher tells me, these are troubled times
But I know the Lord's been in tougher scrapes than this one
It ain't gonna worry
It ain't gonna worry
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Got no money in my pocket
You don't get rich workin' overtime
But as long as you can't buy the spring time in Virginia
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry me)
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry)
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Love is all that ever makes you richer
Oh, if the truth be told
Moonlight's been my only silver
And the sun my only gold
So go on wishin', go on prayin'
Go on sayin', "I'll hit better times"
But how in the world could He love me any better?
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry me)
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry)
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Just An Old Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Don't mind me if I should stare across the room
It's just an old love, just an old love
Seems to me, it's just a ghost of some perfume
It's just an old love that's come back way too soon
I find myself wondering about him, now and then
Like some dream overdue
Sometimes on the avenue like a boat [?] blues
Feels like our roses are still in bloom
So don't mind me if a sudden teardrop starts to fall
It's just an old love and that's all
There's no getting away from a memory
Sometimes all it takes is a melody
Don't mind me if my life to wondering through
It's just an old love, something I see in you
Deep within the shadow of my doubt
Last night, I had his picture out
To see if his eyes would still shine
Sure enough and right away
I had to look the other way
Just couldn't keep my heart off of my mind
So don't mind me if I should stare across the room
It's just an old love that's come back way too soon
Just an old love but that ain't nothing new
Just Like The Blues lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Wakes you up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat
You're thinking about somebody you tried to forget
Maybe it's the full moon made him cross your mind
Now you're lying there all alone and you feel like crying
You had a lot of chances to make things right
Oh, but you let them all fall through
So now, in the middle of your lonely nights
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues
Now you're thinking about him and the way things change
It's all that you can do to keep from calling out his name
So you pick up the phone to call, but you change your mind
He wouldn't talk to you anyway, it's just a waste of time
Love can be a cruel thing, it makes a girl confused
You never know just what you should do
Just when you think you're over him for good
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues
Just like the blues to come calling
Just like the blues, ooh
Just like the blues
Whenever It Comes To You lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I've done some things I should forget
Mistakes I have made a few
But darling I don't have one regret
Whenever it comes to you
I've never been the prayin' kind
But lately that's all I do
I always love and there's the rub
Whenever it comes to you
Sometimes it feels nothin' stays the same
There are some things that will never change
Rain must fall and birds must fly
This much I know is true
And I'll always be a fool at heart
Whenever it comes to you
And I'll always be a fool at heart
Whenever it comes to you
Never Ending Song Of Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feels so good I hardly stand it
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
I'd have a never ending love for you
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you
Once In A Very Blue Moon lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Nanci Griffith)
I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checking if I was okay
And if I miss you, boy you know what they say
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
No need to tell me you'd like to be friends
And help me get back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well it's just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
There's a blue moon shining
When I'm reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you
You act as if it never hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's getting up from a fall
Don't you remember, can't you recall?
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming, feel one coming
I feel one coming on soon
More Than Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Love isn't enough in troubled times
Takes a whole lot of understanding and truth
Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love
Having to slowly count to ten
Knowing you re right and still giving in
Learning how to say you re wrong, that s the hardest part of all
It takes more, more, more than love
Love keeps growing, getting stronger every day
Long after the honeymoon is over, love has to find a way
To carry on, even in the darkest hour, when you really need a friend
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes so much more, more, more than love
More than love, mmm
When you really need a friend
Oh, it takes more than love
Oh, it takes more than love
What He's Doing Now lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Last time I saw him it was turning colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard he had moved to Boulder
Where he's now, I don't know
There's something 'bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back, makes me wonder
What he's doing now
What he's doing now is tearing me apart
Filling up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear him call each time the cold wind blows
I wonder if he knows what he's doing now
Just for laughs I dialed his old number
But no-one knew his name
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If he'd ever done the same
I took a walk in the winter wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinking
What he's doing now
What he's doing now is tearing me apart
Filling up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear him call each time the cold wind blows
I wonder if he knows
What he's doing now is tearing me apart
Filling up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear him call each time the cold wind blows
I wonder if he knows what he's doing now
What he's doing now
What he's doing now
Faithless Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Linda Ronstadt)
Faithless love like a river flows
Like rain drops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
And the night goes in like a cold, dark wind
Faithless love like a river flows
Faithless love
Where did I go wrong?
Was it telling stories
In a heartbreak song?
When nobody's right
No better was wrong
Faithless love will find you
And the misery entwine you
Faithless love
Where did I go wrong?
Well, I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
Never new love
Never turns out like it seems
It's the feeling, comes and goes
Well, I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
Never new love
Never turns out like it seems
It's the feeling, comes and goes
Faithless love like a river flows
Like rain drops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
Faithless love has found me
Thrown its chilling arms around me
Faithless love like a river flows
Nobody's Angel lyics - Crystal Gayle
She's longing for love to take her
She whispers in silence but no one hears
Well, is she lonely, I'd say she was
All she needed was someone to love
Nobody's angel
She sits by the mirror and combs her hair
Maybe she's waiting for love to find her there
No warm embrace, soft candlelight
Only in dreams can love be so right
Nobody's angel
She's nobody's angel tonight
Ooh, it's a sad thing
She can't understand
Why the whole world's just passing her by
She's nobody's angel tonight
She'll have no one to hold her
And no one to kiss her goodnight
No one to run to if she's right
No one to give her the sweet things in life
Nobody's angel
She's nobody's angel tonight
She's nobody's angel, nobody's angel
She's nobody's angel tonight
Nobody's angel tonight
Old Habits Die Hard lyrics - Crystal Gayle
It's my decision
He looks my way
Within a sun expression
Just as it to say
It won't be easy
"L'amour" is right
For get the just one romance
We act tonight
I start to week in the music strong
My conscience speakin'
How know it's wrong
Give it up, remember what you said
This kind of love doesn't happen every day
Give it up, that's the way it's does
Discover, all habits die hard
Temptation makes a fool out of us all
Made my mind up
It had to end
So why this end decision
When he's close again
And if thought's a feeling
I can't deny
With those old memories still
That had crossed my mind
I thought by now that the flame have gone
How do you loves that I'm still holding on
Give it up
Remember what to said
This kind of love doesn't happen every day
Give it up
That's the way it starts
Discover, old habits die hard
Temptations makes a fool out of us all
(Te, te, temptations, tem, temptations, tem, temptations)
(Tem, tem, temptations, temptations, temptations)
She trusts he's holding on
He's your second thought
(Old habits die hard)
Give it up, remember what you said
This kind of love doesn't happen every day
Give it up, that's the way it starts
Discover, old habits die hard
Give it up, remember what you said
This kind of love doesn't happen every day
Give it up, that's the way it starts
Discover, old habits die hard
Give it up, remember what you said
This kind of love doesn't happen every day
Give it up, that's the way it starts
Tennessee Nights lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Sunlight is gone, a wind stirs the willow
Whippoorwills call from high on the hill
Deep shadows fall as I wait for you by the window
Soon you'll be here
Drawing me near to you again
These Tennessee nights roll on like a river
So gentle and slow with you by my side
These Tennessee nights will go on forever
'Cause here in my heart
You'll always be mine
I hear the wind whisper low through the hollow
Calling my name the way you did then
I close my eyes and I lay my head on the pillow
Soon you'll be here in peaceful dreams with me again
These Tennessee nights roll on like a river
So gentle and slow with you by my side
These Tennessee nights will go on forever
'Cause here in my heart
You'll always be mine
Here in my heart
You'll always be mine
Hopeless Romantic lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Sometimes on Sunday
I sit by the TV watching sad movies alone
And when it comes to the part where the little dog dies I cry
Sometimes I think I was born
Just a little behind or ahead of my time
I live in a dream world of caring and sharing
And good guys and nobody lies
I'm a believer
And much more than anything I believe in you
You're not a deceiver
And if you told me the ocean went dry
I'd believe in you
Call me a hopeless romantic
'Cause I can still believe
I can still believe in true love
And hopeless romantic still can find a way
To make true love last these days
Have you ever noticed while telling a tall tale
The look on the face of a child
She accepts without question as though it was gospel
They're only like that for a while
Call me a hopeless romantic
'Cause I can still believe
I can still believe in true love
And hopeless romantic still can find a way
To make true love last
To make true love last
To make true love last these days
For a hopeless romantic like me
Love May Find You lyrics - Crystal Gayle
How can I trust this love to this wind
Did it ever bring you closer to me
And how can I keep every breath that I breathe
From blowing away the seed
Love may find you
Love may blind you
I still dream of you in my life
If you need me
Please believe me
I'll still want you here by my side
I thought I felt you reaching for me
Just like I used to reach out for you
And if you said it'll be alright
There's nothing that I won't do
Love may find you
Love may blind you
I still dream of you in my life
If you need me
Please believe me
I'll still want you here by my side
Never really thought Id be in love like this
But that was long before I ever felt your kiss
And what I'd miss
Love may find you
Love may blind you
I still dream of you in my life
If you need me, please believe me
I'll still want you here by my side
Love may find you
Love may blind you
I still dream of you in my life
If you need me
Please believe me
I'll still want you here by my side
After The Best lyrics - Crystal Gayle
You were the one true love for me
You gave the best of your heart so easily
But it won't be easy now that we're through
For someone like me to find somebody new
Cause after the best, only the best will do
We had the best of times for so long
How could the best of intentions go so wrong
Where will I go, what will I do
It's so hard to imagine me without you
Cause after the best, only the best will do
There'll never be another to take the place of you
There's no use denying, there's no use in trying
Only the best will do
I know it's sad but it's true
I've got the rest of my life to try
To leave the best of my life behind
It won't be easy, I know it's true
It's so hard to imagine me without you
Cause after the best, only the best will do
Cause after the best, only the best will do
Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
Take it too
And you thought that I'd be waiting up
When you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight
Liquor and love that just won't mix
Leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
No, don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
Many a nights, I've laid awake
And cried here all alone
And you come in kissing on me
It happens every time
So don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
No, don't come home a drinking with loving on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't get none of mine
So don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
No, don't come home a-drinking with loving on your mind
Midnight in the Desert lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Midnight in the desert
Shooting stars across the sky
Some magical journey
Will take us on a ride
Filled with the longing
Searching for the truth
Will we make it 'til tomorrow?
Will the sun shine on you?
Midnight in the desert
And we're listening
Listening to you
Midnight in the desert
And there's wisdom in the air
I've been looking for the answers
All my life, I've felt you there
As the world we live in quickens
Are we heeding all the signs?
Have we lost our intuition?
Are we running out of time?
Midnight in the desert
And we're listening
Listening to you
And we're listening
Listening to you
Listening
Listening
That's What I Like About the South lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Take me back to Alabamy
Take me to see my dear old Granny
Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy
That's what I like about the South
There you can make no mistakey
And your nerves are never shaky
I used to taste that layer cakey
That's what I like about the South
She's got baked beans and candied yams
Sugar-cubed Virginia hams
Cellar full of those berry jams
That's what I like about the South
I like corn bread and burned beans
Ham hots and turnip greens
Party grind down at New Orleans
That's what I like about the South
You can poise on with all the news
Bought bear coat and brought down shoes
I'll tie it up as you can do
And that's what I like about the South
There's a place down south called
An old town and it ain't no city
It's pretty, sure it's pretty
Take me back to Alabamy
Take me to see my dear old Granny
Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy
That's what I like about the South
