Kansas City Song

Buck Owens - Red Simpson

© Tree Publishing, BMI

For two long weeks you're goin' to Kansas City
And I'm a sure I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
This ol' town will seem to die without you
But it sure will come to life when you come home
So take care of you for me in Kansas City and honey call me every now and then
Take care of you for me in Kansas City cause I'll miss you till you're in my arms again

Now honey watch those Kansas City Romeos
And don't let them fool you with their charms
Have a lot of fun but remember that I love you
And I'm a waiting here with my two open arms
So take care of you...
[ steel ]
Now I ain't never been to Kansas City
But I've heard stories about the girls that's gone
So if you just gotta go to Kansas City take your time a gettin' there but hurry home
And take care of you...
Yes I'll miss you till you're in my arms again

Bring Back My Peace Of Mind

Bring back my peace of mind let me live again
End my long lonely nights make my heart beat again
Drive my grey skies away let the sunshine begin
Bring back my peace of mind and let me live again

I miss your fingertips I miss your loving lips
I miss the tender little things you used to do
I tried so hard to find some other peace of mind
But now I must face the fact there's just one you
Bring back my peace of mind...

It's A Long Way To London Town

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Well it's a long long way to London it's a long way to London town
When you've got no way of goin' but pickin' em up and puttin' em down
There's a got cold cold rain a fallin' I hope to God that I don't drown
But I've got a sweet baby waitin' and it's a long way to London town
One day I packed up my belongings said I could make myself a name
I knew that somewhere away out yonder there was awaitin' me fortune and fame
But now my rainbow's end has vanished my pot of gold's gone up in smoke
And I'm just tryin' to get back to baby and Lord I hope my baby love me broke
[ dobro ]
I nearly froze to deathly Russia burned up in Thumbatoo
I got drunk down in Australia and nearly made me a king of rule
But now my big dreams all have failed my big plan's gone with the wind
And if I ever get back to London town I'm never gonna leave again
It's a long long way to London it's a long way to London town
When you've got no way of goin' but pickin' em up and puttin' em down

I'd Love To Be Your Man

Buck Owens - Red Simpson

© Tree Publishing, BMI

I'd love to be the sugar in your coffee I'd love to be the finger on your hand
I'd love to be the pillow that you dream on but most of all I'd love to be your man
I'd love to be the curtain on your window I'd love to be the picture on your stand
I'd love to be the sunshine in your morning but most of all I'd love to be your man
I'd love to be the lips that kiss your loving lips I'd love to be the perfume in your hair
I'd love to be the arms that hold your loving arms
I'd even love to be your rocking chair
[ strings ]
I'd love to be the flower in your garden I'd love to be the object of your plans
I'd love to be the twinkle in your eyes but most of all I'd love to be your man
Oh most of all I'd love to be your man

You Can't Make Nothing Out Of That But Love

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Well I love you and I don't care who knows it
Thare ain't nothing that I wouldn't do show it
Well I'd climb upon the rooftops and I'd shout it
Hey I'd gladly tell the whole darn world about it
Well the Man in the Moon he's gonna see it and the fishes in the oceans gonna feel it
Well the birds and the bees are gonna hear it
And you can't make nothing out of that but love
Well I've heard love called a lot of things and sometimes it can turn into bad seeds
There's some say that it's just a waste of time
But it's too late now you've done blown my mind
And I love you and I don't care who knows it
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do show it
The birds and the bees already know it
And you can't make nothing out of that but love
No you can't make nothing out of that but love

Amsterdam

Amsterdam old Amsterdam how I love you Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground let you stand on Amsterdam

I left my home and I left my friends said I'll be back but I don't know when
Set my sail to the restless wind so long old Amsterdam
I picked plums up in Yakimo and I picked pearles down in Arkansas
Even learned how to say you all but I still miss Amsterdam
Amsterdam old Amsterdam...
[ piano - dobro ]
I did my thing in Tokyo tried my luck in Kokomo
Searched for bill in Buffalo but I still miss Amsterdam
I picked peaches in a Georgia town and I picked cotton down in Birmingham
At the day I'll get out of Alabam I'm goin' back to Amsterdam
Amsterdam old Amsterdam...
Amsterdam old Amsterdam...

Black Texas Dirt

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Mama and papa spent the very best years of their life on the west Texas farm
Tryin' to scratch a livin' from the black land dirt that traded them only with storm
From way before sunup to way up to sundown papa walked behind that ol' mule
Until the day that they laid him away he lived by the golden rule
Black Texas dirt you're full of hurt and you won't geow nothing but weeds
You took my mama and papa it's true but you ain't a gonna get me
[ ac.guitar ]
Yes sun and the rain well they took everything cept the dirt that would fly in my face
I swore that someday that I'd find me a way to take me away from this place
I packed up my belongings for soon I'd be goin' far off to start a new life
And I'd better hurry or I'd have to worry about those dark clouds in the sky

As I reached the gate and turned to take one last look
At the old homeplace where I was born
I thought I could hear voices callin' to me
But then I thought no that just must be the storm
I couldn't get over the feelin' something was wrong
That I was leavin' something behind
I couldn't put my finger on it but I couldn't get that off my mind
It seemed as if the wind was mama's and papa's voices
And that they were pleading with to stay
And that the rain was tears at the skies were shadding because I was goin' away
But then like a bow of lightnin' from out the blue
Oh that feelings got over me like a flood
And for the very first time in my life I knew I had black Texas dirt in my blood

Black Texas dirt you're full of hurt and you won't geow nothing but weeds
You took my mama and papa it's true and now you're a gonna take me

Wind Blows Every Day In Oklahoma

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Oh the wind blows every day in Oklahoma the sun shines every day in Tennessee
The snow falls every day in Alaska and I've hurt till you come back to me

It snowed the day I left Albuquerque it rained when I passed through Los Angeles
It stormed the night I got to San Francisco and it storms ever since you left me
[ steel ]
Some folks seem to think I've lost my marvels other say I've gone out of my head
No matter how you said it's for certain without your love I might as well be dead
The wind blows every day...
The wind blows every day...

Full Time Daddy

Buck Owens

© Tree Publishing, BMI

I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
I'm gonna be your full time man or I'm not gonna answer your call
Well I'm sick and tired of this song and dance from now on I'm gonna wear the pants
I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
Well I'm gonna be your number one I don't like number two
Yes a number three well I might be well just between me and you
I'm all through bein' your puppy dog all through with jumpin' when you say frog
Well I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
[ dobro ]
Well I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
Yeah I'm gonna be your full time man or I'm not gonna answer your call
The next time you treat me like a mouse I'm gonna rat your hair for the house
I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
Yeah I'm gonna be your full time daddy or I won't be no daddy at all
