In the good ol' USA I'm proud to say
We got brand new action
Good old fashion, too
And the future's so bright
Like stars in the night
Just smilin' down on everything we do

With great big harvest moon

When the mornin' sun comes peepin' o'er the mountains
And nature's melody begins to play
I wonder how a song that seems to be so short and sweet
Could be as good again another day

Oh, I loved you with a passion hot as summer
And I picture when you were as fresh as spring
I held you when the autumn wind blew in the winter cold

Verse 1:
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand

Verse 2:
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle

Verse 1:
/ A
Got a roundhouse right,got a straight razor in my shoe
D A
Got a roundhouse right,got a straight razor in my shoe
E A
Got a pocket full of money,honey,ain't nothin' i can't do

Verse 1

A E
My sister’s kid is tattooed from his head down to his toes

He’s such a lazy, loafing, good for nothing, drunken slob

But still he thinks I oughta give his sorry ass a job

Intro: G A D

There's a drug dealer selling to your children everyday

D A
He's rotten evil, but he ain't nobody's fool

I wonder if you realize how good it is to be loved by a woman
A woman you can count on even though she knows you done her wrong
The one who worships you inspite of that old rowdy ground you used to walk on
Who'll stay awake to give you help and thank the Lord you find the native home.

But it's that woman there behind you, the one who makes you who you are
She's not the president's first lady she ain't no motion picture star
But she's the one who keeps you goin' when you'd swear the hope is gone

From Maine to California,
I learned to live the blues,

Yeah, when I was just a young man,
I learned to sing the blues

When I holed up in Memphis,
Lord I, I learned to write 'em too,

You ought to be with me when I'm alone
The only thing shakin' is me when she's gone
I've been the one in the middle of lonely too long
You ought to be with me when I'm alone

My friends say she's crazy and draggin' me down
But they oughta see me when she ain't around
I'm ringin' my hands by an un-ringin' phone
