The local radio says sorry time to go
But, I don't sleep to well Where are those Southern Belles

Tryn a' get a telephone line through South Caroline
Your call may bring somebody down from miles around
I'm watching her eyes again I won't use no fountain pen

Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again Hurry home to see my friend

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
Loving can bring you down so you fall
Then why do you still try to get up at all
Your good'n bad side showin through
Problems are a part of you

You must love someone else or face life by yourself
You may expect a call She's waiting in the hall

See the garden grows and it grows nobody else knows
And you can wear just any old thing, the show can begin
I'm falling asleep to dream No more hills to climb it seems

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
You never give in
So why don't you sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again
I'll be home to see my friend
