Roy Orbison Album

Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboy boots
and I'm gonna tell you where I come from tell you somethin about my roots
I'm a southern man, I'm a southern man,
I'm a southern man, (spoken) I'm a southern man

Send me a woman to love me with a lot of meat on her bones
there's something about a big lady I just can't leave em alone
I'd like to take her down to the river go skinny dippin in the night
aint nothin like being with my lady and makin love in the pale moon light
cause I'm a southern man, a hah ah I'm a southern man, I'm a southern

Man, southern man, I'm a southern man

Give me that soulful music it sure makes me feel so nice
so I can do the alligator and get it on every Saturday night
Give me that Southern Comfort, give me Annie Greensprings wine
take me on down to the bayou and I'll sure have a real good time

I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man...

Most women want to chain you to promises and such
They take a little freedom each time they let ya touch
She didn't try to chain me that's why I turned around
She let me taste my freedom and now I'm homeward bound

You know I'm headin' on back to her I'm hearing her call
The strongest chain in the world is no chain at all at all
That's why I'm headin' on back to her she won't let me crawl
The strongest chain in the world is no chain at all.

At least one pretty woman in every sleepy town
Would bargain with her lovin and try to tie me down
I took what I was offered like most men probably would
But teasin' in my memory was something twice as good

You know I'm headin' on back to her I'm hearing her call
The strongest chain in the world is no chain at all at all
That's why I'm headin' on back to her she won't let me crawl
The strongest chain in the world is no chain at all at all

That's why I'm headin' on back to her,
headin' on back to her,
headin' on back to her, lovin my baby,
headin' on back to her

You know better and I know better, let's do it anyway Throw our hearts into the wind and let the music play
One more time, for old time's sake where could we go wrong? We know every word by heart, come on, let's sing our our love song
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song we can find the harmony and sing it all night long Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song sing it sweet and sing it low, till all the music's gone
There's no telling what could happen if it happens right We may just turn the record over and let it play all night

It's got an old familiar feeling made you sing along There's no sweeter melody come sing this old love song with me
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song we can find the harmony and sing it all night long Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song sing it sweet and sing it low, till all the music's gone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sha la la, love song.....

Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, I should have told you long ago

I hope that we can set things straight
What I've got in my heart won't wait
Tomorrow may be too late to apologise to you

Ooh I wish that it was tonight
With our troubles behind us, tonight
Go where no one can find us tonight
With no city to blind us tonight

As I sit here and say "oh gee"
As the feeling just sweeps over me
Takes me into the night floating free


In a skyward direction
My soul has been freed by your love and affection

Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, and I still can't taste your kiss

And you know that a love like this
It just can't wait

It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no....

Not many'd say she's pretty 'cause they don't realize
that beauty is often hidden from another's eyes
But in a quiet moment her beauty starts to shine
and every night I'm thankful that she's mine
oh-oh that she is mine

And she was born to love me in her gentle way
born to love me each and every day
Born to love me born to hold me tight
born to love me every night, every night

I've learned it doesn't matter what other people see
it's what I feel for her and what she feels for me
She's made my life worth living because she understood
that love is made for giving, she's so good
oh-oh she's so good

And she was born to love me in her gentle way
born to love me each and every day
Born to love me born to hold me tight
born to love me every night, every night

Yes, she was born to love me in her gentle way
born to love me each and everyday
Born to love me born to hold me tight...

I ought to hate you for these blues in my mind
What makes me love you, am I losing my mind?
I wonder where I'm gonna wind up
I just can't make my crazy mind up

Too many kisses brought me too many tears
Tears that I'll carry with me all through the years
I'm just the broken hearted kind
Worrying blues in my mind

I'm going crazy with these blues in my mind


How can you just keep on confusing my mind?
You've got a jealous air about you
Maybe I'm better off without you

Still I can't make my heart believe that it's true
Trouble with me is having trouble with you
I'm just the broken hearted kind
Worrying blues in my mind
Worrying blues in my mind

All too soon we were blown upon our seperate ways again
And our warm summer dreams
Joined the fallen leaves that tumbled in the wind
With the echoes and traces of voices and faces
And places that I've left behind

But there's times in the morning
And there's times at the close of day
When your memory comes easy as smiling


And that's something they can't take away

I may die without ever knowing happiness again
Leaving nothing behind but a line of lonely footprints in the sand
But I know that wherever I go, I will never trade anything I'll ever find

For the times in the morning and the times at the close of day
When your memory comes easy as smiling, and that's something they can't take away
When your memory comes easy as smiling, and that's something they can't take away

Well I've been mistreated
Lied to and cheated
Misled and abused
Like an old rag you threw away

First you fill me with thunder
Then you let me go under
You can run, you can hide
But you ain't gonna get away

Cos you're under suspicion
Of leavin' the scene of a broken heart
Under suspicion of a hit and run love affair

Well you ain't got a conscience
And you've made me the victim
Of a cruel and unusual crime
Now you're under suspicion, under suspicion
Under suspicion of a hit and run love affair

No matter where you'll be going
I got ways of knowing
Somewhere down the line
You're gonna pay

Cos you're under suspicion
Of leavin' the scene of a broken heart
Under suspicion of a hit and run love affair

Well you ain't got a conscience
And you've made me the victim
Of a cruel and unusual crime
Now you're under suspicion, under suspicion
Under suspicion of a hit and run love affair

Under suspicion, Under suspicion
Under suspicion, Under suspicion....

We were going together for a long long time and it breaks my heart girl
to see you walking with some other guy
I been sitting alone here with a worried head
I've been talking to some downtown girls but don't believe the things that I have said

Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I don't really love you, I don't really want you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you

Now we're hitting the daylight, morning looking sad
Never knew a guy could feel as lonely as I'm feelin oh so bad
Time is going slowly dragging like a weight
like to say I'm sorry but deep down in my heart it's just too late

Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said


I don't really want you, I don't really need you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you

We were going together for a long long time
and it breaks my heart girl to see you walking with some other guy
Still I keep on trying lonely as I've been
Got to get your sweet, sweet smile to get that lovin feeling back again

Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I don't really want you, I don't really need you, I don't want to have you,
I don't really love you, I don't really want you I don't really need you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you

Oh sweet, sweet Belinda
They say that you are looking for a home
Fresh out of a love affair
Fresh out of hope
Fresh out of dreams

I know you're as strong as any human can be
But you need love, why don't you take it from me?
I know I ain't much, but you can have me for free
Belinda

Oh sweet, sweet Belinda
You don't owe me no gratitude or love
We're just two souls stuck here
Two lonely rivers filled with light

Two lights shining on the darkness ahead
Two feet touching in a cold winters bed
I promised you safety, but I loved you instead
Belinda

Oh-oh Belinda I'd die of loneliness
If you ever left, Belinda

Oh-oh Belinda I'd die of loneliness
If you ever left, Belinda
