For The Good Times

The Little Willies For The Good Times Lyrics
1.Worship You

I worship you and the things you do
Still you're not satisfied
I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost
But still I worship you

When we first fell in love we were always side by side
Never then did I think you'd go wrong
Then you started goin' out with the wrong kind of crowd
To my sorrow I've found that you've gone

Well, I worship you and the things you do
Still you're not satisfied
I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost
But still I worship you

I go back to the home and I lie awake 'til dawn
Still I can't get you out of my life
And my friends next day say what a price I must pay
Last night I saw someone with your wife

Well, I worship you and the things you do
Still you're not satisfied
I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost
But still I worship you
I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost
But still I worship you


2.Remember Me

You told me once that you were mine alone forever
And I was yours till the end of eternity.
But all those vows are broken now, and I will never
Be the same except in memory.

Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
Remember me at the close of a long, long day.
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.

A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear,
Another love with a heart more bold and free.
But in the end, fair-weather friends may break your heart, dear.
If they do, sweetheart, remember me.

Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
Remember me at the close of a long, long day.
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.
Oh, just to know you still remember me.


3.Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves

I'm drivin' this truck on a mountain road
I got a hot rod rig and I'm flyin' low
My eyes are filled with diesel smoke, hairpin turns ain't no
joke
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I was out last night drinkin' beer with the guys
Got an achin' head and blood shot eyes
I ended up with a pretty little dame, I didn't even know her
name
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

If I'm gonna deliver this hot shot freight
I gotta get goin' cause I'm runnin' late
These mountain grades are mighty steep
Gonna stay awake, can't get no sleep
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grades
She's got the coffee already made
I gotta keep my eyes upon the road
I'm comin' down the hill with a heavy load
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

Well I must have closed my eyes for a while
Cause here I am and I'm runnin' wild
I turn my brakes, strip my gears
Gonna have to ride her down I fear
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I wish I'd left the women alone
But it's too late I'm already gone
I got myself into this fix
All because I tried to mix
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves


4.Lovesick Blues

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you, somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues

I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
She don't care about me
Lord, I've tried and I've tried to keep her satisfied
But she just couldn't stay
But now that she is leavin', this is all I can say

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you, somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues
I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

6.Fist City

You've been makin' your brags 'round town
That you've been lovin' my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash,
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me,
And what I feel is a pity
You'd better close your face and stay out of my way
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City,
You'd better detour 'round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
And I'll lift you off the ground

I'm not a sayin' my baby's a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City,
You'd better detour 'round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
And I'll lift you off the ground

I'm not a sayin' my baby's a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

I'm not a sayin' my baby's a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City


7.Permanently Lonely

Don't be concerned for it's time I learned
Those who play with fire get burned
I'll be alright in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely

Don't be too quick to pity me
Don't salve my heart with sympathy
I'll be alright in a little while, in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely

The world looks on in wonder and pity at your kind
For it knows the future
Is not very pretty for your kind, for your kind

Will always be runnin' and wonderin'
What happened to hearts you've broken and left all alone
We'll be alright in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely
Runnin' lonely


8.Foul Owl On The Prowl

There's a foul owl on the prowl tonight.

Hey, little lark, get outta the dark,
Foul owl on the prowl.
Hey little jay, stay out of his way,
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the quail he'll tail,
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the swallow he'll follow,
Foul owl on the prowl.

If you hear him hoot, scoot,
If you pass his tree, flee,
If you catch his eye, fly,
Don't wait to say goodbye.

He's got a yen for a purty little hen,
Foul owl on the prowl.
He's hungry for a chick, so get home quick,
Foul owl on the prowl.

If you hear him hoot, scoot,
If you pass his tree, flee,
If you catch his eye, fly,
Don't wait to say goodbye.

He's got a yen for a purty little hen,
Foul owl on the prowl.
He's hungry for a chick, so get home quick,
Foul owl on the prowl.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Foul owl on the prowl.


9.Wide Open Road

Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leavin'
I said, 'Shove off honey, baby, I ain't grievin'
You can pack your bags and pull out this evenin'
There's a wide open road'

Come early this mornin' you were nowhere about it
So I searched the town but you done pulled out
I looked north, east and west and then a leadin' south
I saw a wide open road

There's a wide open road
Leadin' south from my abode
If you can stick around and keep your damper down
There's a wide open road

Well, the reason I was lookin' for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat was still around
And you left your diamond ring when you walked down
That wide open road

Well if you gonna stay away then honey gotta let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down that wide open road

There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road
Oh, there's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road


10.For The Good Times

Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I'll get along; you will find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.


11.If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time

If you've got the money honey I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll have more fun baby all way down the line
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

Ain't no need to tarry let's start out tonight
We'll have fun oh boy oh boy and we will do it it right
Bring along your Cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

Let's go honky tonkin' make every spot in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark we won't fool around
Yf you run short of money I'll run short of time
You got no more money honey I've got no more time

If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your Cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time


12.Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Please don't take him even though you can
Oh, please don't take him just because you can
Jolene


13.Pennies on the Floor

Your mamma's sweet
Your daddy's not
If I could give you all I've got
I'd give you more than my one foot out the door

Instead I'm stuck,
With one foot out
My pot of gold,
It just ran out

And I'm looking for pennies on the floor

If you could empty my pockets
You'd find nothing but holes
And an old book of matches
From you

Don't you bother,
You can't change it
You'd feel charmed,
Then ignored

'Cause I'm looking for pennies on the floor


If you could empty my pockets
You'd find nothing but holes
And and old book of matches
From you

Don't you bother,
You can't change it
You'd feel charmed,
Then ignored

'Cause I'm looking for pennies on the floor

Yes I'm looking for pennies on the floor
