Bobby Goldsboro Lyrics 2

<It's Too Late>

I remember when I told you that I tried in every way
To hold you and kiss you and love you and keep you till my dying day
You just laughed and said you found somebody new
That you didn't need all the things I could do
Now you found out that your new love isn't true like he should be
You say that you're gonna forget him and you're gonna come back to me
For things have changed and I found me someday new
Someone to make me forget about you and I'm telling you

That it's too late to say you're sorry
It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love

And I'm going to make her mine, it's too late
Many days I tried to call you, many nights I spent alone
Every one knew that I love you, but you had a love of your own
But now that it's gone, you think you can come back to me
But I'm not the same fool that I used to be
And you're gonna see that it's too late

<With Pen In Hand>

With pen in hand you sign your name
Today at five, I'll be on that train
Ans you'll be free and I will be alone
So alone

If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can't make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own

Can you take good acre of Johnny?
Can you tkae him to school everyday?
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those boogies away?
Hear what I say?

Can you teach him how to a whistle a tune?
Can you tell him about the man in the moon?
If you can do these things, then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me

And tonight as you lay in that gig, lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head?
With your heart on fire, will you have no desire to kiss me
And to hold me?

And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bed
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way

<The Straight Life>

Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter
Seeker of fortunes connoisseur of great wines
Dashing thru meadows of yellow and green
Trying to catch the impossible dream
Leaving the straight life behind
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico
Drinking tequila goin' out of my mind
Having a ball on a couple of bob
Treating the ladies to corn on the cob
Leaving the straight life behind

Suddenly all my silly thought disappear
She comes to me softly with cracker and beer
Winkin' and blinkn' and blowing my ear
Running away with my mind
It's great to be in love I'm not really thinking of
Leaving the straight life behind
I'm just playing a game in my mind
Do do do do do...

Once in a while in my mind I go bummin'
Going nowhere with no worry of time
Running along chasing after a train
Humming a song in the sun and the rain
Leaving the straight life behind
I can just see me on a tropical island
Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine
Having me fun with golden girls in the sand
Chasing the sun thru an innocent land
Leaving the straight life behind

<I'm a Drifter>

You know I could not stay for long
When you asked me to come over
In the wee hour of the morning
I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin'
And that is why I'm givin' you fair warning
And you might have loved me
Like I never, ever have been loved before
Your front door is open
And I've got to keep on movin'
So I will stay with you a while
And then I'll let my hitchhike thumb
Take me to where I wanna
Because I've got to keep on searching
For dream that I've been seekin'
Since I left my Oklahoma
And who's to stay but that I might be back tomorrow
If I find there's only sorry you may see me
From your window sill next morning

I'm a drifter
And I've seen the rain
And I've felt the pain
The pain that comes with loneliness
So I drift from town to town
Seachin' all around looking for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you
Then I'll be back tomorrow

Let's make the most of time
Before the break of day
But don't try to make me stay
If I don't want to
Because I've got to keep on searchin'
For the dream and can't bind me
With the smile words "I love you"
But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin' for
Is waiting here behind your door
Then I'll come back to stay
If you still want me to

<Glad She's A Woman>

As she sit by the window
Shje's busy with work
But her mind isn't on what she's doin'
She thinks back to morning
The feeling she had
And she's glad she's a woman

And you can see the glow
On her face and in her eyes
You can see she's changing everyday
From the little girl I married
From a girl into a woman

Late at night when I'm sleepin'

She'll tug at my side
Wake me up just to tell me she's happy
I put my hand on the life she carries inside
Then she smiles and says, "Hello, Daddy"

And my heart could almost burst
From the love she brings to me
I can see she's changing everyday
From the little girl I married
From a girl into a woman
And I'm glad she's a woman

<Muddy Mississippi Line>

Working on a barge down in New Orleans
Spending all money on cajun queens
Working from the morning till the end of day
That's when I go out to play

Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line
They pay me ten dollars and I don't save a dime
But I always seem to make enough to see me through
And I bet you five dollars I'm as happy as you

Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line
Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line

I've got a lot of friends down in New Orleans
Working on the docks loadin' coffee beans
Harder working people who will lend you a hand
They'll help you any way they can

My daddy was a MIssissippi river man
My mama was cajun from the heart of the land
They taught me how to love the Mississippi mud
Now this Mississippi water flows in my blood

Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line
Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line

I love the Mississippi like it was my home
As long as I remember it's been my home
When you're riding on the Muddy Mississippi Line
I know it's kind of muddy but it sure looks fine

Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line
Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line

<Can You Feel It>

There's a feelin' deep inside me
That I've never felt before
And I feel it when I see you
And when I touch you, I feel it even more

And I wonder when I'm with you
Do you feel the way I do
When you put your arms around me
Do you get that feelin' too

Can you feel it deep inside?
Can you feel it in your heart?
Can you feel it deep inside?
If you feel it, then we can start

Put our heart together
And there's no a thing to feel
If you've got that lovin' feelin'
Then the time for us is here

So just take a look around you
And then tell me what you see
Is the world a little brighter
And does the sun just seem to shine
For you and me?

<Mornin' Mornin'>

Hight hopes and off I ride
Gonna make it back home
Gonna drive all night
Got some food and some coffee too
Spend the night on the road
Just to be with you
In the mornin' mornin'
I'll be with you in the mornin'
In the mornin' mornin'
Gonna get you in the mornin'

I'll make the best time I can
Keep one eyes on the mirror for the policeman
This ol' car's gonna come unglued
But I'll drive it to death
Just to be wit you in the mornin' mornin'
Gonna get you in the mornin'
In the mornin' mornin'
I'll be with you in the mornin'

I guess that you folks were right
I'm a fool who ran to the city lights
I'll admit I had my bad luck
But I'll be a new man when the sun comes up
