Ry Cooder - 5000 Country Music Songs - Sözleri

I started writing country songs in 1962 

Just a dream that I had on my mind 

My girl and I got married in 1963 

We tried so hard to keep our dreams alive 

So I bought an old house-trailer out on the countryside 

You can't write country songs in town they say 

We packed up and moved out there and as the time went by 

We found that we liked living free that way 



I got me an old Cadillac just to have around 

Cadillacs and country songs were meant to be 

I heard that old Hank Williams drove one just like mine 

So I thought that something might rub off on me 



You can take what you want after I'm gone 

It's only just a little place that we called home sweet home 

One old house trailer two rusty Cadillacs and 5000 country music songs 



I always sent my songs up to Nashville town 

In case the boys could use a guy like me 

But the mailman brought 'em right back down and I think it made him sad 

You're bound to get you one just wait and see 



I recall the year Ray Price came through town 

His tour bus parked about a mile from here

I sat there in the backseat of that old Coupe De Ville 

Those shoes were just too big to fill that year 



A song on Bobby Bare would take you anywhere 

If I'm still here it wasn't for lack of trying 

My wife would tell me Honey I'm feelin' somethin' there 

Don't care if Bobby never reads a line 



Chorus 



Then late one summer evening she called me to her side 

Saying sing me something in your real old style 

The one I like to hear Bobby Bare passed by 

I'll just close my eyes and rest a while 

Well she liked that big old tree and the honeysuckle vine 

And the mocking bird that sang so tenderly 

I just packed up all those song words and my old guitar 

I locked them up and threw away the key
