Off The Wall

Roger Miller Off The Wall Lyrics
1.Oklahoma Woman

Ribbon of concrete stretching out far before me
Ribbon of concrete stretching back far behind
I'm rattling down round the southern parts of texas
With that oklahoma woman on my mind

Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord what a day the day was the day that i found her
Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord i can't wait to get home and put my two arms around her

Well it's starting to rain and i sure am glad i ain't walking
Yeah the telephone poles go flying by like they're flying
And i'm thinking about a lot of things but mainly
It's that oklahoma woman on my mind

Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord what a day the day was the day that i found her
Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord i can't wait to get home and put my two arms around her

So i say come on wheels and roll me on back to my baby
Yeah keep turning round and head me on down the line
And radio keep on playing songs to remind me
It's that oklahoma woman on my mind

Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord what a day the day was the day that i found her
Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord i can't wait to get home and put my two arms around her

Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord what a day the day was the day that i found her
Oklahoma woman, whoa whoa woman
Oh lord i can't wait to get home and put my two arms around her

3.Stephen Foster

Well i was riding to the city
And my horse broke down, do-dah, do-dah
Blacksmith lived on the other side of town
Oh do-dah day

Well i'm gwan to run all night
Yes i'm gwan to run all day
I think stephen foster was ahead of his time
That's all i've got to say

Well a nickel is a nickel
And a dime is a dime, do-dah, do-dah
You can't make a dollar sittin' down all the time
Oh do-dah day

Well i'm gwan to run all night
Yes i'm gwan to run all day
I think stephen foster was ahead of his time
That's all i've got to say

Well i got to the city
And i went downtown, do-dah, do-dah
Cotton went up and it all came down
Oh do-dah day

Well i'm gwan to run all night
Yes i'm gwan to run all day
I think stephen foster was ahead of his time
That's all i've got to say

I got a room full of people
And a handful of friends, do-dah, do-dah
That's how it goes and that's how it ends
Oh do-dah day

Well i'm gwan to run all night
Yes i'm gwan to run all day
I think stephen foster was ahead of his time
That's all i've got to say


4.I've Gotten Used To The Cryin'

I've gotten used to the cryin'
And at least we're alone when i have to crawl
But darling when you say i'll find love again
I think i hate that most of all

I've gotten used to the teardrops
And at least we're alone when they start to fall
But darling when you say i'll find love again
I think l hate that most of all

I've gotten used to the cryin'
And at least we're alone when i have to crawl
But darling when you say i'll find love again
I think i hate that most of all


5.I Ain't Gonna Work No More

Well i quit my job and i told my boss
I ain't gonna work no more
Every day's gonna be my day off
I ain't gonna work no more

Oh i'm tired of bein' just one of the bunch
Getting up early, packing up for lunch
I'm gonna sleep for the next six months
I ain't gonna work no more

You can take my house and take my car
I ain't gonna work no more
I'm gonna find out who my real friends are
I ain't gonna work no more

I say l'm tired of bein' just one of the bunch
Getting up early, packing up for lunch
I've been poor before, more'n once
I ain't gonna work no more

Yeah there ain't no kinda job i'm gonna find
I ain't gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work a big car line
I ain't gonna work no more

Yeah i'm gonna put the world on hold
Throw out the paddle, roll with the boat
I'm gonna leave 'em with a two word note
I ain't gonna work no more


6.There's Nobody Like You

The way you make love to me matches up perfectly
With pictures that i've always carried around in my mind
Honey you got it all
There's nobody like you, i just don't love you, that's all

And i try to make love to you to match it all perfectly
With pictures that you'd always carried around in your mind
But i couldn't make the fall
There's nobody like you, i just don't love you, that's all

And i'd rather hurt myself
Than to ever cause you pain
I feel like i'm stealing away with the sunshine
Leaving you stuck in the rain

The way you make love to me matches up perfectly
With pictures that i've always carried around in my mind
Honey you got it all
There's nobody like you, i just don't love you, that's all
And l'd rather hurt myself


7.Dark Side Of The Moon

I was the words and you were the music
We were a song, sung out of tune
There is a light that brightens the night-time
Ah but there's a dark side of the moon

I was a house and you were my window
I could see light, but only through you
Now i'm a house without any windows
Ah there's a dark side of the moon

Love is a lovely, lovely feeling
Love is the light that shines from the moon
There is a light that brightens the night-time
Ah but there's a dark side of the moon

Love is a lovely, lovely feeling
Love is the light that shines from the moon
There is a light that brightens the night-time
Ah but there's a dark side of the moon


8.Some People Make It

The working man works while the boss man sits in the shade
The working man works while the boss man sits in the shade
Some people make it, some people got it made

I sing la la de-la what'll i do 'til i get paid
I sing la la de-la what'll i do 'til i get paid
Some people make it, some people got it made

Some people make it, some people got it made
Made in the shade
Some suck lemon, some sip lemonade

Yes i wanna walk tall when all of my dues are paid
Yes i wanna walk tall when all of my dues are paid
Some people make it, some people got it made

Some people make it, some people got it made
Made in the shade
Some suck lemon, some sip lemonade


9.Roll Away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

What a day, what a day
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

Peace of mind, peace of mind
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
Has rolled away


10.Na-nominee

Well we're tailor-made, for each other babe
We're so much in love with each other
We're so much inclined to spend all our time
With nobody else but each other

Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na
Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na

Come walk down my road, and lighten my load
Just walkin' along here beside me
And don't be afraid to lay in the shade
As long as you're laying beside me

Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na
Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na

Well la-lady-hey, la-lady-oh, la-lady-ah-la-la love you
And everwhere i go, everybody know
How much i la-la-la love you

Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na
Na-nominee, na-nomino, na-nomina na na na na
To fade
