Verse 1

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left

The weather it was dry

Sun so hot I froze to death

Susanna, don't you cry

Chorus

Oh, Susanna

Don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Verse 2

I had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I dreamed I saw my girl Susanne

She was coming around the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

I said I come from Dixie girl

Suzanna, don't you cry

Chorus

Oh, Susanna

Now, don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Yeah Oh, Susanna

Now, don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee

FOOL # 1

CHORUS
Am I fool number 1
Or am I fool number 2
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number 1 fool?

VERSE
I spent so much time gettin’ hurt in this race
I don’t want to end up in second place

CHORUS
Am I fool number one
Or am I fool number two
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number one fool?

Instrumental break

VERSE
Set ‘em up Joe, and we’ll knock ‘em on down
To the potential number one fool in town

CHORUS
Am I fool number one
Or am I fool number two
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number one fool?
If you’re the queen of heartaches, Am I the number one fool?

DRIVIN’ HOME
VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere
So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around
And take the back roads thru the country

Take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

IF YOU NEED ME
VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll be here for you
Even tho right now you think
That guy has hung the moon
I wish you well in that high society
But if the new wears off of those satin sheets

I’ll be here if you need me

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around
Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard, but our love came easily
So, if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here if you need me

CHORUS
I know you’ve wanted out of here so long

Now here’s your chance go on and run
Just remember everything that shines

Can fade away, dark clouds

Can hide the sun un un un

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around

Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard but our love came easily
So if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here, if you need me…if you need me

GOODTIME HONKY TONK
VERSE
Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

VERSE
Just one happy family
Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun

Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for

At the goodtime Honky Tonk

None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
