[Lyric] Sweet Elizabeth (B.B. Driftwood)
Come alive sweet Elizabeth You've been gone to long Come alive sweet Elizabeth Help me carry on Will you still remember me Now that twentyfive years have gone They covered you with flowers I cried out your name They covered you with flowers I felt a sharp stab of pain Oh my sweet Elizabeth Let me see you smile again...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Old Crazy Heart (B.B. Driftwood)
What a crime it is To turn your back on love What a shame it is Not to let it flow What a trial it is I'm trying to forget your kiss What a fool I was To let you go We let love pass us by Like a breath of spring in late december Never showed its face again And this old crazy heart Lets me know What a fool I was I didn't know...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] She Shines (B.B. Driftwood)
Her grandma said- she can do anything she wants She can rise to her own expectations That girl has a sweet mind of her own And she marches on in celebration Thankful for the light She shines Thankful for the light She shines The old folks sang About peace in the valley one day When all the work is done The fiddler played His homemade violin For...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Shady Tree (B.B. Driftwood)
In a lazy little town just about a mile from nowhere There's an old man sitting under a shady tree As the hot sun makes its round he just sits there on the ground In the shade he can let his mind run free Inside his head there's music playing Old time songs way from good days gone by Sometimes he smiles at the echo of a saying Sometimes he looks...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Adrift (B.B. Driftwood)
Guide me Help me things over Throw me a line I'm adrift on the open sea It's cold in the cabin The day is over Night closes in On the chained and the free Time rolls along Like a mighty river Same sad old song And those frail bands quiver Show me the well My soul is dry Somebody, somebody Please hear my cry Guide me Help me think things...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Indian Summer (B.B. Driftwood)
A tender ray of light is beginning to show Footsteps echo softly on the pavement below The sun is back here comes the day Still fresh and newly born Still beautiful in every way Meet me on the other side of the river Where the weeping willow grow In late september when leaves are burning And quiet waters flow You've got to treat so carefully On...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Close To The Sun (B.B. Driftwood)
Seems like some words are best left unspoken And some deeds are best left undone And sometimes big hearts are broken You're bound to get burned when you fly To close to the sun Some people go by the numbers Some swim in the backwater until the race is run Some people just sit around waiting for wonders Some follow their hearts and stay close Close...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] A Way To Celebrate (B.B. Driftwood)
This is a way to celebrate the inspiration That comes from peaceful conversation and open minds Could be in the mansion on the hill Or in the grass behind the mill Looking for words to sing in a thankful jubilee This is a way to celebrate the sweet contentment That comes from sitting down Listening to people you believe are true Could be in the...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Love Must Prevail (B.B. Driftwood)
Don't go to bed angry Try to make amends Tossing and burning Nursing misunderstandings Just don't make sense Fuzzing and fighting Comes to everyones life But live and let live Move on and forgive Don't bring it into the night I know I know love Love must previal They say that kindness is its own reward That every good deed deserves a favour And...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Strange... How Things Can Turn Around (B.B. Driftwood)
Ocean liner captain said Jump over board or drown We've got to get out of here This ship is going down They'd hit a big rock In the middle of the deep blue sea Just a moment before They'd been chillin' out in the breeze Ain't it strange How things can turn arround Gambler gambled Stakes were high He was a high roller Lady Fortune on his side Last...Learn MorecountryB.B. Driftwood[Lyric] Southward Bound (B.B. Driftwood)
I wish it would stop raining It's been pouring down for days I listen to my neighbours dog complaining I should be on my way Stuck in this sleepy town Thats like a muddy hole in the ground Before to long I'll be southward bound No use complaining' 'bout flooded roads and trains that don't run Got to slow down my mind And wait for the sun Soon as...Learn MorecountryB.B.
