I Bought This Rhinestone Suit In California

These Boots Came All The Way From Mexico

This Cadillac Ain't Nothin' Son You Ought To See The Greyhound

I Bought To Take My Band From Show To Show

Seen My Face A Thousand Times On TV And Heard Me On Your Local Radio

And In Your Eyes I See The Admiration There For Me

But Son There's Something That You Ought To Know



Well I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'

Motel Rooms Ain't Nothing Like A Home

Money Can't Make Love Grow Any Stronger When You Leave Your Woman Home Alone

She Can't Raise The Children With No Daddy

She Can't Love A Man That's Always Gone

It Takes A Whole Lot More Than Pride To Keep Your Feelings Locked Inside

While You Sing Another Pretty Country Song

(Play It Pete Drake)

[ Steel ]

(I've Seen Your Face A Thousand Times On TV I've Heard You On My Local Radio)



It's True I Took Some Pills To Stay Awake Son

And This Diamond Ring I Wear Is Just For Show

I've Got A Little Cabin In The Country

When I'm Not On The Road That's Where I Go

Try And Put My Feelings Down On Paper

Right Or Wrong The Show Has To Go On

I Can Cry Down Deep Inside And Keep On Smilin'

While I Sing Another Pretty Country Song

But I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'
