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

"Ghost On The Canvas" (2011)

A Better Place lyrics - Glen Campbell

I've tried and I've failed Lord
I've won and I have lost
I've lived and I've loved, oh
Such times, at such a cost

One thing I know
The world is good to me
A better place awaits you, you see

Some days I'm so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones that I love most
To hold me more each day

Oooh, a better place.

Ghost On The Canvas lyrics - Glen Campbell (feat. Paul Westerberg)

I know a place between life and death for you and me
Let's take hold on the threshold of eternity
And see the ghost on the canvas
People don't see us ghost on the canvas
People don't know when they're looking at souls

In between here and there there's a place that we can grow
Spirits make love in a wheat field with crows
Like a ghost on a canvas people don't see them
Ghost on a canvas no oh oh oh
They never see souls

Ring around the rosary pocketful of prosary
Ashes to ashes we all fall in love
With ghost on the canvas

[riff]

We dream in colour others they colour their dreams
Takes one to know one a Spirit always knows when it's seen
Like a ghost on a canvas never can happen
Ghost on a canvas
It's the so oh oh ul that makes them goohhhhhh
People don't know ohh ohhh ohhh
When they're looking in so oh oh uls
Better take ho oooh ooh ld
I'm the ghost on the canvas

A Thousand Lifetimes lyrics - Glen Campbell

I’ve lived at least a thousand lifetimes
Walked down a road with no end in sight
I’ve seen miracles in moonlight
And lonely goodbyes

I’ve faced the consequence and sorrow
Still I stood up and faced tomorrow
I’ve had dreams I’ve feared and followed
I found my way home

I’ve held onto coal in my bare hands prayin’ for diamonds
I’ve trusted in the words that to my face turned out were lying
I’ve trapped and I have tripped and I have loved and I’ve abandoned
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted

I have washed upon the shore I’ve fallen, conquered demons
I’ve broken down and broken up without a rhyme or reason
I’ve held the ring of brass and many times smashed it to pieces
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted

I’ve lived at least a thousand lifetimes
Walked down a road with no end in sight
I’ve seen miracles in moonlight
And lonely goodbyes

I’ve held onto coal in my bare hands prayin’ for diamonds
I’ve trusted in the words that to my face turned out were lying
I’ve trapped and I have tripped and I have loved and I’ve abandoned
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted

It's Your Amazing Grace lyrics - Glen Campbell

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind, but now, I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear

And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
Oh the hour I first believed
When we've, when we've been there
Lord, ten thousand years

Bright shining, bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Good's praise
Then when, we first begun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun

In My Arms lyrics - Glen Campbell

Got an easy place to be
In my arms, yeah in my arms
I got a simple space to feel free
In my arms, in my arms

Keep it on the recent
Keep it on the now
Give me an easy way out

It's a lovely world that I got
In my arms, baby in my arms
Got a lot of room to get lost
In my arms, baby in my arms

Keep it on the recent
Keep it on the now
Give me an easy way out

Keep it on the recent
Keep it on the now
Give me an easy way out

Got an easy place to be
In my arms, baby in my arms
You got nothing to fear from me
In my arms, baby in my arms
In my arms, baby in my arms

Nothing But The Whole Wide World lyrics - Glen Campbell

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

I'm here on the blacktop
The sun in my eyes
Women and country on my mind
Bolting me out
Over the borderline
Now there's no more love loss and no more shame
No more digging holes or graves
Nothing to lose but rivets and chains

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

Was born in a stable and built like an ox
Down in the pastures I learned how to walk
Mama, she raised me to sing and just let 'em talk
Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust
Bury him down same as they'll do us
God wants us busy, never giving up
He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
Well there's nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
Well there's nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us

We ain't got no money, can't get no love
Never was too good at either of 'em I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes
But what good is an angel that won't catch up
Free falling now and I'm ready enough
I give my tears and I give my blood
I give nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing but the whole wide world for one
Nothing, nothing
Give nothing but the whole wide world for one
Nothing, nothing
Give nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for one

Hold On Hope lyrics - Glen Campbell

Every street is dark
And folding out mysteriously
Where lies the chance
We take to be always working
Reaching out for a hand
That we can't see
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me

Invitation to the last dance
Then it's time to leave
That's the price we pay
When we deceive
One another animal mother
She opens up for free
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me

Look at the talkbox
In mute frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy

Look at the talkbox
In mute frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy
His campfire flickering
On the landscape
That nothing grows on
But time still goes on
And through each life of misery

Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me
[x3]

Any Trouble lyrics - glen Campbell

Don't go
To any trouble
You know
I won't be here long

Hold me like a breath
You can count on me to 10
And any trouble you got
Will be gone

Don't go
To any bother
Your mother may
Never lay

Don't go
And make a fuss
And you forget about us
And any trouble you got will fade away

Don't pin your hopes
Don't pin your dreams
On misanthropes
And guys like me
Don't pin your hair
Let it hang down
Don't go to any trouble on my account

Don't go
To any trouble
You know
I must say, so long

Don't hold me like a trial
It's only for a little while
And any trouble you got
Will be gone
Any trouble you got will fade
All the trouble you got will fade away
