Roger Miller - A World So Full Of Love - lyrics

L know how it feels to be alive with no desire to live
L know how it feels to die inside and try hard to forgive
And my way of finding out is cos a love just let me down
Ln a world so full of love, yet not enough to go around
L was once so proud to have her love
That l could burst with pride
But that sunshine turned to storm
And now thats all l feel inside
Lts enough to make me wish
That l could hide and not be found
Ln a world so full of love yet not enough to go around
L could sit for days and wonder and not find the answer still
By the time l die l wonder if by then l even will
L must live to be a hundred if l hope to live it down
Ln a world so full of love yet not enough to go around

Roger Miller - All Fall Down - lyrics

When I was a little country boy I had a dream
Our family wasnt poor but rich instead
I took to the road instead of staying home to help
And that dream just withered up inside my head
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I was a strong young man I fell in love with sue
I wanted her to be my wife someday
But I couldnt bring myself to say sue, I love you
And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I reached middle age I hungered for success
And things like fancy limousines and such
About as close as I came to that fancy limousine
Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I reached my golden years I often had a dream
That Id be respected by society
But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand
And free advice to give to fools like me
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

Roger Miller - A Million Years Or So - lyrics

Lm not worried, cos l know
Lll forget you in a million years or so
Lll miss you, but l know
L wont miss you but a million years or so
How l loved you, loved you so
How l lost you, maybe time and tide will let me know
But lm not worried, cos l know
Lll forget you in a million years or so
Lll miss you, but l know
L wont miss you but a million years or so

Roger Miller - Absence - lyrics

Silence is simply the absence of sound
Darkness the absence of light
My life is made up of silence and darkness
Since the absence of you from my sight
We became birds of a different feather
Encountering storms we could neither one weather
L defy anyone to define me away
My heart cant go on this-a-way
Nearness is simply the absence of absence
Wrong is the absence of right
My life is made up of the absence of nearness
Since the absence of you from my sight
We became birds of a different feather
Encountering storms we could neither one weather
L defy anyone to define me away
My heart cant go on this-a-way

Roger Miller - Arkansas - lyrics

Well, I aint never travelled much
But someday when the moneys such
Id like to see the world and all
And maybe go through arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But I just love ole arkansas
Id like to get my picture took
Put it in my memory book
And someday hang it on my wall
To say that Id seen arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But I just love ole arkansas
My grandpa was always good

Hed tell me when Id get tall

Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But I just love ole arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But I just love ole arkansas

Roger Miller - Best Of All Possible Worlds - lyrics

I was runnin through the summer rain tryin to catch that evenin train
And kill that old familiar pain weaving through my tangled brain
But when I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didnt see
That policeman said mr cool if youre aint drunk then youre a fool
I said well if thats against the law then tell me why I never saw
A man locked in that jail of yours who wasnt just as lowdown poor as me
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
And I wound up in jail to spend the nights
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
Well I woke up next morning feelin like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin somethin sick and wrong
And I told that man Id sell my soul if somethin wet and cold is that old cell
That kindly jailer just grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy
Then he bought himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
That booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldnt even buy the smell
I said I knew there was somethin I liked about this town
But it takes more than that to bring me down down down down
But theres still a lot of wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
Well they finally came and they told me they was a gonna set me free
And Id be leavin town if I knew what was good for me
I said its nice to learn that everybodys so concerned about my health
I said I wont be leavin no more quicker than I fastly can
Cause Ive enjoyed about this much of this as I can stand
And I dont need this town of yours more than I never needed nothin else
Ha ha cause theres still a lotta drinks that I aint drunk
Lots of pretty thoughts that I aint never thought oh yeah
Lord theres still so many lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds

Roger Miller - Ain't That Fine - lyrics

Well I fell in love in texas when a little girl said to me
Come on back down here you all and lets grow a little honey tree
Well I bought myself a ticket and the train leaves at quarter to four
I can see her now with her great big eyes waitin at the station door
Aint that fine aint that fine
Aint that fine fine fine shes all mine
Well she took me home to mama and that didnt impress me much
Till she rolled out a great big welcome mat and that hit me with the magic touch
When she walks down the sidewalk all the cowboys step aside
Cause they all know shes a one man woman and shell soon be roped and tied
Now tell you aint that fine aint that fine
Aint that fine fine fine shes all mine
Well now her daddy owns an oilwell in the lone star texas state
And it shoots black gold to the clear blue sky and brother aint that great
Well now I just can see me now boy with a big long fine cigar
A big success watchin things progress a chauffeur with a long black car
Now come on and aint that fine aint that fine
Aint that fine fine fine shes all mine
Yeah aint that fine fine fine shes all mine

Roger Miller - Big Harlan Taylor - lyrics

(spoken) l once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that ld known by far
I had a friend, big fella, name of big harlan taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tyred new shiny car
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, twould take many years
By the wants of a woman she fell for big harlan
L tried but in vain for to take my own life
Suddenly l had lost all my will to keep livin
Shed lost her desire to become my young wife
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, twould take many years
(spoken) well l wanted revenge, and waylaid for big harlan
Then l started wondering, what good would it do?
If a rubber-tyred new shiny cars her ambition
Then lll just let her have it, and big harlan too
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, twould take many years
If l figured them all out, twould take many years

Roger Miller - 12th Of Never - lyrics

You ask how much I love you must I explain
I need you oh my darling like roses need rain
You ask how long Ill love you Ill tell you true
Until the 12th of never Ill still be loving you
Hold me close never let me go
Hold me close melt my heart like april snow
Ill love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
Ill love you till the clover has lost its perfume
Ill love you till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the 12th of never and thats a long long time
Until the 12th of never and thats a long long time
