great success here. He's a friend of yours and mine

# Search the corners of your precious heart

0:07:530:07:59

# And if you find something there

0:08:010:08:05

# There's any way to call it love, baby

0:08:050:08:10

# Almost heaven, West Virginia

0:10:270:10:31

# Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River

0:10:310:10:38

0:12:040:12:10

# The radio reminds me of my home far away

0:12:100:12:16

# And driving down the road I get a feeling

0:12:160:12:20

# That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

0:12:200:12:27

# Country roads, take me home

# By the time I get to Phoenix

0:13:330:13:39

# She'll be rising

0:13:390:13:42

# And she'll find the note I left hangin' on her door

0:13:470:13:54

# And she'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'

0:13:570:14:05

# Cos I've left that girl so many times before

0:14:090:14:17

# And by the time I make Albuquerque

0:14:220:14:27

# She'll be working

0:14:270:14:31

# She'll probably stop at lunch

0:14:340:14:39

# And give me a call

0:14:390:14:43

# But she'll just hear that phone

0:14:460:14:50

# Keep on ringin'

0:14:500:14:56

# Off the wall

0:14:560:15:01

# And that's all

0:15:040:15:07

# And by the time I make Oklahoma

0:15:090:15:14

# She'll be sleepin'

0:15:140:15:19

# She'll turn softly and call my name out low

0:15:210:15:29

# And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her

0:15:320:15:40

# Though time and time I try to tell her so

0:15:440:15:52

# No, she just didn't know

0:15:550:16:01

# I would really go. #

# Rain dripping off the brim of my hat

0:16:140:16:18

# It sure is cold today

0:16:180:16:21

# An' here I am walking down 66

0:16:210:16:25

# Wish she hadn't done me that way

0:16:250:16:29

# Sleeping under a table in a roadside park

0:16:290:16:33

# A man could wake up dead

0:16:330:16:37

# But it sure seems warmer than it did

0:16:370:16:40

# Sleeping in our king-sized bed

0:16:400:16:44

# Is anybody going to San Antone

0:16:440:16:47

# Or Phoenix, Arizona

0:16:470:16:52

# Any place is all right as long as I

0:16:520:16:56

# Can forget I've ever known her

0:16:560:16:59

# Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt

0:17:080:17:11

# Like I ain't got nothing on

0:17:110:17:14

# But I'd rather fight the wind and rain

0:17:140:17:19

# Than what I've been fighting at home

0:17:190:17:22

# Yonder comes a truck with the US Mail

0:17:220:17:26

# People writing letters back home

0:17:260:17:30

# Tomorrow she'll probably want me back

0:17:300:17:34

# But I'll still be just as gone

0:17:340:17:38

# Is anybody going to San Antone

0:17:380:17:42

# Or Phoenix, Arizona

0:17:420:17:45

# Any place is all right as long as I

0:17:450:17:49

APPLAUSE

0:18:030:18:07

# My baby makes me proud

0:18:170:18:20

# Lord, don't she make me proud

0:18:200:18:28

# She never makes a scene

0:18:280:18:30

# By hanging all over me in a crowd

0:18:300:18:35

# Cos people like to talk

0:18:390:18:41

# Lord, don't they love to talk

0:18:410:18:46

# But when they turn out the lights

0:18:500:18:53

# I know she'll be leaving with me

0:18:530:18:57

# And when we get behind closed doors

0:19:000:19:05

# And she lets her hair hang down

0:19:050:19:11

# And she makes me glad that I'm a man

0:19:110:19:17

# Oh, no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors

0:19:170:19:25

# My baby makes me smile

0:19:370:19:40

# Lord, don't she make me smile

0:19:400:19:44

# She's never far away

0:19:480:19:51

# Or too tired to say "I want you"

0:19:510:19:56

# She's always a lady just like a lady should be

0:19:590:20:06

# But when they turn out the lights

0:20:100:20:13

# She's still a baby to me

0:20:130:20:16

# And when we get behind closed doors

0:20:200:20:26

# And she lets her hair hang down

0:20:260:20:31

# And she makes me glad that I'm a man

0:20:310:20:37

# Oh, no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors

0:20:370:20:45

# Behind closed doors. #

0:20:480:20:56

APPLAUSE

0:20:560:21:01

It is my opinion that no show of mine would be complete without this song.

0:21:040:21:09

# You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

0:21:090:21:17

# Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?

0:21:190:21:22

# The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down

0:21:260:21:31

# Oh, Ruby

0:21:350:21:42

# Don't take your love to town

0:21:420:21:45

# It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war

0:21:480:21:52

# But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

0:21:540:21:59

# And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

0:22:020:22:06

# Oh, Ruby

0:22:110:22:18

# I still need some company

0:22:180:22:20

# It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed

0:22:240:22:27

# And the wants and needs of a woman your age, really I realise

0:22:340:22:38

# But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around

0:22:420:22:46

# Oh, Ruby

0:22:510:22:57

# Don't take your love to town

0:22:570:23:00

# She's leaving now cos I just heard the slamming of the door

0:23:030:23:08

# The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

0:23:110:23:15

# And if I could move, I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

0:23:190:23:23

# Oh, Ruby

0:23:280:23:35

# Don't take your love to town

0:23:350:23:36

# Oh, Ruby

0:23:400:23:47

# For God's sake, turn around... #

0:23:470:23:49

APPLAUSE

0:23:560:24:01

# Oh, I'm 5,000 miles away from home

0:24:010:24:08

# Teardrops fell on Momma's note

0:24:100:24:15

# When I read the thing she wrote

0:24:150:24:19

# She said, "We miss you, son We love you, come on home"

0:24:190:24:25

# Well, I didn't have to pack

0:24:270:24:31

# I had it all right on my back

0:24:310:24:35

# Now I'm 500 miles away from home

0:24:350:24:40

# Away from home, away from home

0:24:430:24:47

# Cold and tired and all alone

0:24:470:24:51

# Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home

0:24:510:24:57

# Can't remember when I ate

0:25:000:25:04

# It's just thumb and walk and wait

0:25:040:25:08

# And I'm still 5,000 miles away from home

0:25:080:25:14

# If my luck had been just right

0:25:160:25:21

# I'd be with them all tonight

0:25:210:25:25

# But I'm still 500 miles away from home

0:25:250:25:31

# Away from home, away from home

0:25:320:25:37

# Cold and tired and all alone

0:25:370:25:41

# Yes, I'm 5,000 miles away from home... #

APPLAUSE

0:25:460:25:49

# Silver coins that jingle jangle

0:25:560:26:01

# Fancy shoes that dance in time

0:26:010:26:05

# Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes

0:26:070:26:13

# They did sing a gypsy rhyme

0:26:130:26:17

# Yellow clover in tangled blossoms

0:26:180:26:24

# In a meadow silky green

0:26:240:26:29

# Where she held to her bosom

0:26:290:26:35

# Just a boy of seventeen

0:26:350:26:36

# I recall a gypsy woman

0:26:410:26:46

# Silver spangles in her eyes

0:26:460:26:52

# Ivory skin against the moonlight

0:26:520:26:57

# And the taste of life's sweet wine

0:26:570:27:02

# Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows

0:27:090:27:14

I knew a girl who inherited a gold tooth from her grandmother

0:35:280:35:31

when her grandmother died and she took the tooth

0:35:310:35:34

and she had it melted down and made into a ring

0:35:340:35:37

so I wrote this song to let her know what I thought about it.

0:35:370:35:41

# I wear Grandmother's ring

0:35:550:35:58

# On my finger, on my finger

0:35:580:36:01

# She had a tooth of gold

0:36:010:36:05

# And just before she died

0:36:050:36:06

# She said "Son, you can have my tooth

0:36:060:36:10

# "But do I really have to go?"

0:36:100:36:14

# Look around and you will see

0:36:140:36:17

# This world is full of creeps like me

0:36:170:36:20

# You look surprised you shouldn't be

0:36:200:36:23

# This world is full of creeps like me

0:36:230:36:27

# And I keep my Uncle Leon

0:36:270:36:30

# In my closet, in my closet

0:36:300:36:33

# There don't nobody know

0:36:330:36:36

# Just me and Uncle Leon

0:36:360:36:39

# In my closet, and they wonder

0:36:390:36:42

# Where'd that old man go

0:36:420:36:46

# Look around and you will see

0:36:460:36:49

# This world is full of creeps like me

0:36:490:36:52

# You look surprised you shouldn't be

0:36:520:36:55

# This world is full of creeps like me

# She was eighteen, maybe

0:37:020:37:06

# What's a year or two

0:37:060:37:09

# And one day when she asked me

0:37:090:37:12

# If I loved her

0:37:120:37:14

# I said "Baby, what's it worth to you?"

# Sometimes I blame it on a woman

0:39:020:39:09

# The one that made my poor heart bleed

0:39:090:39:13

# Sometimes I blame it on the money

0:39:160:39:22
