I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain These Delta towns wear satin gowns In a high beamed frame Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio Where would I be in times like these Without the songs Loretta wrote? [Chorus:] When you can't find a friend...

When I wake in the night and find That I'm dreaming You're the first thought in mind Love's a fair weather friend when You're lonely You are my summer state of mind Does it sing to you nightly? Does it lay down beside you? Does it make you hear songs On the r...
