birthdays come birthdays go
as years go bye it lets you know
skin it wrinkles hair go goes grey
your twighlight years or on the way

glasses needed eyesight gone
getting worse as years move on
all we have is memory how it was used to be
when we were young and life was free

that is life and natures way
we age each minute of every day
thinking of things we used to do
when we were young  and foolish to

there once was  once love where i used to stay
then the angels came took my love away
way up high  above in the sky so blue
took away the love that i always knew

now the home i stay is just a memory
surrounded  by the thoughts of what there used to be
now my world is empty your no longer there
everything around me empty and so bare

waiting for the day when im an angel to
when i get my wings i will fly to you
to heaven up above to be with you once more
sharing love again like we did before

theres a party going where the hillbillies stay
they all gather round dance the night away
doing fancy steps. grape vines shuffles to
a little bit of moonshine dance the whole night through

fiddles guitars and banjo add the country sound
beneath the moon above  they all dance around
stomping and sliding with a turn or two
dancing all night long like the hillbillies do

hand clapping  toe tapping  dance the night away
beneath the moon above till the break of day
fiddles guitars and banjos add the country sound
beneath the moon above  they all dance around

heading home to memphis been away to long
home again once more home where i belong
place i was born spent my younger days
home again to mamma and her loving ways

back to my roots and my family
to the way it was way it used to be
roaming days are over heading home once more
to the place i loved  where i was before

time to settled down raise a a family
back to all my roots where i long to be
build myself a home and have children to
home again once more to the home i always knew

back to my roots and my family
to the way it was way it used to be
roaming days are over heading home once more
to the place i loved  where i was before

im on the road to nowhere lost inside my mind
the road  that leads to you i cant seem to find
all i have is a loneliness on a road without an end
heartache around the corner each and every bend

i will keep on searching i cant let you go
love you oh so much more than you will know
i willl find the road thats leads me back to you
hold you in my arms again share the love we knew

what ever takes i will find away
the road that leads to you i will find someday
i will keep on searching till i find you once more
sharing love again like we did before

theres dancing in the mountains moon is shining bright
theres a party going on its hillbilly party night
folks all gather round with a drink or two
dance away the night  like the hillbillies do

guitars fiddles banjos give the mountain sound
dancing arm in arm and a twirl around
dance the night away friends and family
on a hillbilly night its the place to be

dancing all night long the hillbilly way
buckdance and clogging till the break of day
guitars fiddles banjos give the mountain sound
dancing arm in arm and a twirl around
