Lyrics Charley Pride

Charley Pride

I Ain't All Bad

I picked last night in Tucson I sang 'em a country song

Missed my plane this morning Lord cause we parted all night long

I'm out here now usin' my thumb tryin' to make it to El Paso

Cause tonight I play at the cabarete they done told it on the radio

To a country singer it's a lonesome road with time hangin' heavy on my hands

If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love baby that don't makes me all bad

I've been high and I've been low and I've been to San Antone

But the worst by far than I've ever been was when I've been alone

Tomorrow night I'm in Austin I've got some old friends there

Cause there's old Jeff and Willie and Sam and a girl with the long dark hair

To a country singer...

There's one last stop down in Shreveport on this tour of one night stands

And I've got some time but no peace of mind till I'm back on the road again

If my old guitar had learned to talk it'll tell about the things I done

There's a mighty good woman back in big D but never ever let me come home

To a country singer...

If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love baby that don't makes me all bad
