It’s been three days since I saw the light,It’s like I only come alive at night,Like a dog on a city street,Keeping my head low and dragging my feet.
Falling through the cracks,Since you upped and walked away,Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.
It’s been three days since I saw your face,Can't shake the vision of you packing your suitcase,You said you don't know what you want,I said I didn't want a broken heart.
Falling through the cracks,Since you upped and walked away,Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

Take my hand, c’mon hold on tight,And we'll be on our way.
Rising sun in the morning light,No longer will we lay.
Yeah because our love is alright,Yeah because our love,La, la, la.

I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,And I've worked the land for ages, hmm.
But the toll this life has taken,Is a back that’s always aching,And if my scars could tell their tales,It'd take a long, long time,You'd hear about broken bones and splinters.
Yeah, tankard ales and long dark winters,A laureate who’s not worried at the rhyme.
Oh but when the rain comes down,I stop the rain from falling on the ground.
I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,I've worked the land for ages, hmm,For ages, hmm.

I move real vicious,
On a Saturday night,
She gimme three wishes,
That’s the kinda girl I like,

Put your phone down,

And you'll feel alright,

Sky’s the limit,
Yeah she takes me high.


Alright, okay, any time of day,
Alright, okay, don't wish your time away,
Said yeah oh yeah, getting hotter in here,
Have you dance all night ‘til your morning prayer,
Alright, okay, any time of day,
Alright, okay,hear the words I say,Said yeah oh yeah,
all the people in here,Have you dance all night ‘til your morning prayer.
I’ma show how,
You'll be kicking the blues yeah,Bring the band along,
Play your favourite tune now,Lemme you help you out,
Have you kick those blues yeah,I bring the band along,
They’ll be kicking it too.From second I arrive on set,
Turn their heads Lickedy split,
Don't need no new regret,Like to thank you for the thanks I get,
In the mirror, in the mood that’s me,On the screen, on the scene that’s me,I can tell you ‘bout the life I lead,Don't got nowhere better to be.

Verse 1

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway awhile

Verse 2
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 3

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving
O how lonesome, how sad it will be?
O think of the fond heart you’re breaking
Every grief you are causing to me.

Verse 4
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true
And the cowboy who loves you so true

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
