Working girl, working girl,
I love you working girl
And all the things that you do
Oh, I don't know what I would do
If you should up and leave
Just sit and grieve.
Sit and grieve, working girl.

Working man, you've got money all the time
Working man, pay my debt and treat me fine
Oh, I don't know if I could take it
If you should up and go
I love you so
I love you so working man.

--- Instrumental ---

She give me money when I'm down, working girl
She takes me out on the town, working girl
Each time I think it's over she makes me see
Mhm she loves just me.
Only me working girl.

Buy me rings expensive things, working man
Pretty boots a swinging clothes, working man
Shany car a new guitar and that ain't all
When I'm with you I walk real proud you walk real tall.
Working girl, working girl.

I love you working man, I love the things that you do...

I Can't Hear the Music

Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound.
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown.
Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean.
Don't they know I've got country in my genes?

Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could.
Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good.
I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

Oh, that Earl Scruggs.

If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same.
I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change.
I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
I'm an old Kentucky hillybilly with a country song to sing.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

Lord, I've got country in my genes...

There's two suitcases hid back in the closet
Packed for much more than a few days stay
And in her purse there's several thousand dollars
Years of saving for one rainy day.

It scares her half to death to think of leaving
She's never been out on her own before
Too many nights she's cried while he was sleepin'
Oh but she's not sure he loves her any more.

Chorus:
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side.

To him she's always been a special angel
And so much more than he thought he deserved
Oh how was she to know all he's been feeling
When he could never put it into words.

He was so afraid one day she'd walk out on him
He knows he's just a plain and simple man (Yes he is)
He could easily tear down that wall between them
Everything he needs to keep her's in his hands.

Chorus:
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side.

Maybe he'll wake up in time
To hold me...

. . .


Oh, I hear familiar sounds down the sidewalk
Gettin' closer with every step he takes
Lord, I'm so afraid that if I look out the window
I'll be tempted to repeat an old mistake.

Chorus:
Don't open that door
To an old memory,
When he said goodbye
I locked it up tight
And threw out the key.
I've stood here before
Lord I can't stand no more
Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't open that door.

The stronger me has found the will to fight it
But now he's gone and the weaker side's in tears
Lord, it took so long to put the hurt behind me
If I don't look back the past can't find me here.

Chorus:
Don't open that door
To an old memory,
When he said goodbye
I locked it up tight
And threw out the key.
I've stood here before
Lord I can't stand no more
Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't open that door.

Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't you open that door...

. . .


Well, I got time on my hands and I got you on my mind
And the moon and the stars up above
There's a warm summer breeze
Blowing down through the trees
And somewhere someone's falling in love
Well, if this world where we live is the only one we have
Then there's only one thing I'm thinking of
Let's go for that ride - keep our eyes open wide
Cause somewhere someone's falling in love.

Chorus:
You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.

So don't get down on yourself.
No and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love

Chorus:
You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.

So don't get down on yourself.
No, and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love
Yeah, for as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling.

Somewhere someone's falling.
Somewhere someone's falling in love.
