Loretta Lynn - Johnny Gates

Well, goodbye tubs and clothes lines, goodbye pots and pans I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus, as further as I can I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors And when you realize I'm gone, I'm a gonna hear you roar. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home. I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow This a woman's liberation, honey is a gonna start right now. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home. I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home...

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand You told me all the big things you had planned It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you. You have no time to love me any more Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door Now I spend all my evenings all alone Success had made a failure of our home. --- Instrumental --- If we could share an evening now and then Perhaps we'd find true happiness again You never hold me like you used to do It's funny what success has done to you. You have no time to love me any more Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door Now I spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home...

Well, if you've been a married woman And things didn't seem to work out Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free So you're gonna be talked about Everybody knows that you've loved once So they think you'll love again You can't have a male friend When you're a has been Of a woman you're rated X And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal Every man might try to make But I think it's wrong to judge every picture If a cheap camera makes a mistake And when your best friend's husband says to you You've sure started lookin' good You should've known he would And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X Well, nobody knows where you're goin' But they sure know where you've been All their thinkin' of is your experience of love Their minds eat up with sin The women all look at you like you're bad And the men all hope you are But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar Of a woman rated X And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal Every man might try to make But I think it's wrong to judge every picture If a cheap camera makes a mistake And when your best friend's husband says to you You've sure started lookin' good You should've known he would And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X

Once I made a promise That I'd never lead you on But I feel the yearn to love you Even though I know it's wrong You'll have to take my hand And lead me slowly through the door I'll be wrong in what I'm doin' I can't refuse you anymore Lead me on And take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own 'Cause it's against my will I need love, warm and tender In a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you But you'll have to lead me on Lead me on And take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own 'Cause it's against my will But I need love, warm and tender In a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you But you'll have to lead me on

You left me for the bright lights of the town A country boy set out to see the world Remember when those city lights shine down That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl I swear I love you by the moon above you How bright is it shinin' in your world Some mornings when you wake up all alone Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl [ Banjo ] Don't wait to bring great riches home to me I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl I swear I love you by stars...

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold I'd rather be his than have riches untold I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land I'd rather be led by his nail pierced hands Than to be the queen of the best domain and beheld in sin's dreads way I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today [ Steel ] I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause I'd rather have Jesus then world wide things I'd rather be true to his holy name Than to be the queen...

Some things never change Never switch on gang On a plane shit I wake up in a different state Shit ain't same Since you left my heart been cold like space Plane Jane Gotta flood my roley face Eating great like a fat kid like to my face Skinny with the racks like to stuff my safe I can't trust hoes niggas I can't trust your mans Niggas ask for handouts like father stretch my hands Gotta keep it on me Reminiscing how a nigga got the reaper on me Niggas round fake yea them fucking niggas phony Cooling on me say she love me but a nigga lonely Stuck up in my ways Stuck up in my ways Some things never change Some things never change Pop the xannies sip the lean I'm tryna hide the pain In the Bentley switching lanes hockey ice the chain Stuck up in my ways Stuck up in my ways Some things never change Some things never change Pop the xannies sip the lean I'm tryna hide the pain In the Bentley switching lanes hockey ice the chain Gates
