Lee, Johnny - Pickin' Up Strangers Lyrics






Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do

Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away

Sometimes this old life, it seems like highway
And it keeps rolling on and on
And on that highway you meet a lot of strangers
You pass a lot of dangers on your way home

Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
If you don't like taking chances then
You better keep moving on my friend

Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away

(Picking up strangers)
Let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do

Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away

(Picking up strangers)
Let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're

    Today's Country is tragic. At 22 I can't get my foot in the door in Nashville because my sound is to traditional.

  45. K.... M....

    I'm only 16 yrs old...and I absolutely love this..along with Tom T hall... Marty Robbins...willyNelson...and Jonny cash...when did country music leave country? this modern country music is not country at all...it's a disgrace to country.usic and the legends who made it what it was

    K.... M....

    Unfortunately Gilley's burned down in 1990! It was a great place to go in Pasadena, Texas in the seventies! But you're in luck, Gilley's Complex, known as Gilley's Dallas, is a multi-purpose entertainment and dining complex located in Dallas, Texas.

  55. w.... h....

    good morning devon salmond

  56. w.... h....

    I had this cassette tape and I played it until it would not rewind it

    w.... h....

    wilfred heggart I had the 8 track of this and played it so much that it wouldn't skip to this track.

  57. J.... A....

    Love it

  58. C.... ....

    Picking up strangers is about the only way to live unless you want to be a recluse. I'm not just referring to romantic relationships either. Everyone's a stranger when you first meet them. Some of them will become your friends, others are indeed your worst fears.

  59. p.... b....

    These songs never gets old thay will always sound great yesterday today and tomorrow

  60. E.... J....

    love old country, you can never find this kinda of music on the radio anymore. I saw Johnny Lee last week at a rodeo dance. he was so amazing

    E.... J....

    Emma Juren you can hear it in 105 3 KZNN Saturday morning from 6 to 10 AM central time. Stream online at resultsradiionlibe.com

  61. c.... ....

  62. E.... J....

    this is true country

    E.... J....

    Erick Ja as opposed to

    E.... J....

    As opposed to the bullshit on Country Radio today.

    E.... J....

    faye miskie walking in my aunt ruths house with out knocking

  63. J.... A....

    How could anyone possibly not like this?

  64. M.... ....

    That fucking Special K ad is the most annoying thing on the planet.

  65. s.... t....

    thank you for this reminder i forgot how good these song are

  66. B.... B....

    1000 like!

  67. J.... B....

    I miss this era of country. Bass driven with the Fender Rhodes complimenting in the background. RIP.

  68. C.... C....

    How in the hell is Johnny Lee not in the Country Music Hall of Fame, he carried country music for two years by hisself.

    C.... C....

    He isn't a great entertainer? Have you ever been to one of his live shows? No disrespect but Johnny Lee puts on a better show at 72 than most people in their 20's could ever hope for.

    C.... C....

    Here's another country song writer and singer that's that in the country Hall of Fame that is Eddie Rabbitt

    C.... C....

    Vern Gosdin isn't in the hof either!

    C.... C....

    Chris Coble Because his peak was 4 years and once The Urban Cowboy movement was done so was he.

    C.... C....

    Because he didn't conform to the norm. He didn't fit in to their politics. There were a few like him. Steve Wariner had that same attitude. They didn't need all of that hoopla. They were fine just on their own and I think the ones who did this were some of the better singers and more down to earth...

  69. E.... E....

    this is good country music

  70. y.... ....

    Lol, this should be the theme song for online dating

    y.... ....

    yankeeedandy . yes and lets meet.

  71. M.... ....

    It's a shame I have to come to YouTube to hear an authentic country song. Sure as hell cant hear one on the radio

    M.... ....

    I do the same thing brother I don't listen to radio ,this so called country has meaning

    M.... ....

    What sadder then that brother you can't find a good ole bar anymore that will play this kinda music! Fuck um I'll go home and get out my collection!

    M.... ....

    If I was given a chance to be a radio disk jockey for a Nashville classic country radio station, I would be playing songs like this that you never hear any more.

    M.... ....

    u have ta move to Kansas!

  72. K.... D....

    ladies and gents. .... REAL COUNTRY!

  73. A.... B....

    I liked all of it ok

  74. B.... K....
