Loving You Is Music To My Mind

Rex Gosdin - Les Reed

When the words have all been said
And the songs have all been sung
Babe I'll still be needin' you
And your shoulder to lay my head on

When the stories have all been told
And tomorrow has come and gone
You know I still be needin' you
To take me in to keep me warm

Loving you is music to my mind
You're the rhythm in my song it's melody alive
You give all the words special meaning
Loving you is music to my mind

When the boys have lost their lives
And our dreams have past us by
You know I'll still be needin' you
To lay beside satisfied

Loving you is music to my mind
You're the rhythm in my song it's melody alive
You give all the words special meaning
Loving you is music to my mind
Yes loving you is music to my mind

I Wish I Had Something

Rex Gosdin

I borrowed this ol' overcoat when I was cold and broke in Omaha
I got this suit I'm wearin' from a Goodwill store somewhere in Arkansas
I've got ingrown toes from wearin' these guaranteed Salvation Army shoes

Lord I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used

This ol' car that I'm drivin' has known a lot of highway in its time
But that was long before I saved enough to buy it from this friend of mine
And the lady that I'm courtin' has been everything but that a time or two

And Lord I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used

Secondhand and hand-me-downs is all I've ever known
The car I drive the clothes I wear the women that I've known
I feel about as up to date as the headlines in last year's daily news

And Lord I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used
Lord I wish that I had somethin' no one else before me ever used

When Love Was All We Had To Share

Earl Montgomery - George Richey

My heart is so thankful for your love I'm grateful
You've been my right arms though all the years
As I relive the moments of the hard times I'm astonished
When all we had between us was our love

Candle light and we'd eat together
A table and one straight back chair
Cotton gowns instead of satin
Back then when love was all we had to share

TV's were a luxury then drive-in shows they were in
We saved all our pennies just to go
Winters were bitter cold through the cracks we watched it snow
To be so bad it sure was good back then

Candle light and we'd eat together
A table and one straight back chair
Cotton gowns instead of satin
Back then when love was all we had to share
Back then when love was all we had to share

Rough Around The Edges

Max D. Barnes

It'll be rough around the edges
Cause all I've got is two hard workin' hands
It won't be no bed of roses
Oh I love you and I'll do the best I can

Limousines are parked there in your driveway
You were born into the finer things in life
Magazines would pay a fortune for your picture
Are you sure you want to be a poor man's wife

It's gonna get rough around the edges
A way of life that you won't understand
It'll be tough to burn those bridges
Livin' with a common labor man

Chandeliers won't decorate our hallway
There'll be no fancy carpet on the floor
But through the years

But through the years
Ah you know I'll try to prove it to you someway
Oh a millionaire could never love you more

It'll be rough around the edges
There'll be no diamonds in your wedding band
It won't be no bed of roses
Oh I love you and I'll do the best I can

It's gonna get rough around the edges
There'll be no diamonds in your wedding band

Singer Of Sad Songs

Max D. Barnes

Singer of sad songs you sure know how to hurt
You couldn't be a deeper shade of blue
You must have loved a woman that treated you like dirt
Singer of sad songs did you know her too

Somehow I get the feelin' you've lived the words you're singin'
You said what I've been thinkin' all along
The tear drops and the laughter it all sounds so familiar
The things I'd like to tell her if I could write a song

Singer of sad songs you sure know how to hurt
You couldn't be a deeper shade of blue
You must have loved a woman that treated you like dirt
Singer of sad songs did you know her too
Singer of sad songs did you know her too
