I'm Not Gonna Miss You lyrics - Glen Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
I'm still here, but yet I'm gone
I don't play guitar or sing my songs
They never defined who I am
The man that loves you 'til the end
You're the last person I will love
You're the last face I will recall
And best of all, I'm not gonna miss you
I'm not gonna miss you
I'm not gonna miss you
I'm never gonna hold you like I did
Or say I love you to the kids
You're never gonna see it in my eyes
It's not gonna hurt me when you cry
I'm never gonna know what you go through
All the things I say or do
All the hurt and all the pain
One thing selfishly remains
I'm not gonna miss you
I'm not gonna miss you
Gentle On My Mind lyrics - The Band Perry
(originally by John Hartford)
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughenin' coal pile, and
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting from the back roads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my mind
Remembering lyrics - Ashley Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
Four years old running up the stairs to your bed
Thunder rolls and I pull the covers over my head
You say it's just a storm, enjoy the show
You take me to the window, show me that it's beautiful
Never had to ask you to sing for me, it's just the way to put me at ease
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
First guitar and I just wasn't getting it right
You showed me how to play it, said it doesn't happen overnight
In a couple years I come home and show you how I play "Blackbird"
Though I miss a couple notes you still say it was the best you ever heard
Never had to ask you to smile for me, it's just the way you put me at ease
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Now I have to ask you to sing for me
And I have to show you the worlds to see
You're standing right in front of me and slipping away
Dad, I'd ask you to smile for me, it's just the way you put me at ease
Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
All I Need Is You lyrics - Glen Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
Some pray for rain, clouds have been a stranger to the sky
Some search for solutions, in a bottle of wine
Some cry for help, makin' noises in the night
But all I need is you, to get by
Some spend their lives running circles 'round the never ending sun
Some give up on love, before it's even begun
Some live with problems, others choose to run and hide
But all I need is you, to get by
All I need is you, when storms reach inside
When the sun is falling from my sky
All I need is you, nothing else but that
Can turn my back to face the truth
All I need is you
I've been alone, chained to fragile fantasies before
Fought back the fear, so I could open love's door
Held your hand of re-assurance, bring me hope to real life
All I need is you, to get by
All I need is you, when storms reach inside
When the sun is falling from my sky
All I need is you, nothing else but that
Can turn my back to face the truth
All I need is you
All I need is you, when storms reach inside
When the sun is falling from my sky
All I need is you, nowhere else to hide
You turn my back to face the truth
All I need is you
The Long Walk Home lyrics - Glen Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
Some familiar place I've never been before
This is a long walk home
A beautiful feeling like I've never known
This is a long walk home
I know I'll never be the same again
I hope I'll still remember you
Above it all I know our love will transcend
On my long walk home
No more places that I need to be
This is the long walk home
No more people tryin' to get at me
This is the long walk home
Whatever will be will be my friend
No more fences on that line to mend
It's the only debt I've never paid that I owed
This is the long walk home
This is the long walk home
Wichita Lineman (Live From Ryman Auditorium) lyrics - Glen Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, girl, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than... girl, I want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
Still on the line
And I'm doin' fine
A Better Place (Live From Ryman Auditorium) lyrics - Glen Campbell
(from "I'll Be Me" soundtrack)
I've tried and I have failed, Lord
I've won and I have lost
I've lived and I have loved, Lord
Sometimes at such a cost
One thing I know
This whole world has been good to me
A better place awaits you, you'll see
Some days I'm so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones that love me
More and more each day
One thing I know
This whole world has been really good to me
A better place awaits you, you'll see
Ooh, a better place
Divorce Me C.O.D. lyrics - Glen Campbell
I just bought me a great long ticket
I'm gonna use it at 4 P.M
So you can call your secret love
And break the news to him
Oh, I thought your little romance
Was on the strict Q.T
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q
Divorce me C.O.D
I won't be around
To hear you cry
I'm Texas bound
And by and by
Well, you can reach me down in Dallas
A general delivery
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q
Divorce me C.O.D
There's gonna come a day, gal
When you'll be feelin' blue
And you'll find that you can't pay your bills
With a little old I.O.U
Well, this dynamite you're foolin' with
May be T.N.T
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q
Divorce me C.O.D
No need to fall
Down on your knees
'Cause I know all
My ABC's
Oh well, I ain't no college 'fessor
I ain't got no P.H.D
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q
Divorce me C.O.D
If You Could See You Through My Eyes lyrics - Glen Campbell
Every time you feel my hand
I get cold chills
Every time you graze my face
I am so fulfilled
Now you're standing there in front of me
With all your insecurity
Oh, bless your heart
If you could see you through my eyes
Then you'd know how brightly you shine
If for a moment you could climb inside my mind
Then you would know the way I feel
And you'd know one feeling is real
And you would love you too
If you could see you through my eyes
If you only knew how much I think about you
Then you'd know how lost I'd be
Without you
And I can't believe the irony
You're the most important one
Oh, bless your heart
If you could see you through my eyes
Then you'd know how brightly you shine
If for a moment you could climb inside my mind
Then you would know the way I feel
And you'd know one feeling is real
And you would love you too
If you could see you through my eyes
And you would love you too
If you could see you through my eyes
Same Old Places lyrics - Glen Campbell
I always see her
In the same old places
And it breaks my heart in two
To see her smiling
To see her laughing
With someone new
I'd give anything
To win her back again
But I destroyed her love for me
Just like a crazy fool
I broke love's sacred rule
And now, she's gone from me
And so you see me
At the same old places
Everywhere we used to go
Oh, how I'd give anything
To be with her again
At the same old places
Anywhere we used to go
I'd go with you
