Ray Price - Pick Me Up On Your Way Down Lyrics






You were mine for just a while
Now your putting on the style
And you never once looked back
To your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When your blue and all alone
When their glamor starts to bore you
Come back where you belong
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down

They have changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame
Underneath you're still the same
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
When your new love can't be found
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When your blue and all alone
When their glamor starts to bore you
Come back where you belong
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down

  60. R.... D....

    best singer iv ever heard in all of 70 years go RAY PRICE

  61. R.... C....

    I believe Ray changed style 1965.Jim Reeves had just died in a plane crash. in two years country music had lost several of it's top stars. Ray Price took up where Jim Reeves left off I believe.

    R.... C....

    Jim Ed Brown was also considered a replacement for Gentleman Jim

    R.... C....

    My two all time favorites too.

    R.... C....

    James Smith u r so rite !!!

  62. B.... K....

    My husband and I got see Ray Price three times. It was wonderful and relaxing.

    B.... K....

    I envy you.

  63. m.... c....

    Ray price,  is the classiest entertainer ever, I've seen his show about 4 or5 times. talk about smooth.

  64. D.... B....

    You're the gossip of the hidden cloud, in the cold....where only darkness can be told.....stars do fall ....hope they catch you on your way down....jtb

  65. N.... L....

    the man can sing, I'll listen to him when ever i have him on this

    N.... L....

    C.... R....

    +chrisoreeves I believe it is only vinyl, Amazon has one copy but you might also do a search on Ebay for "RAY PRICE & CHEROKEE COWBOYS - reunited"

  71. R.... F....

    Absolutely one of the greatest. I feel so sad that he is gone. God Bless, and sadly missed.

    R.... F....

    You’re right. One of the best, and sadly missed. Ain’t no one like him today .

    R.... F....

    love the song way back in the 50's

    R.... F....

    Uncle Ray Price was the greatest...!!

  72. D.... L....

    Ray price was one of the greatest entertainers out there along with Farron Young. These guys knew how to get best out there to their fans. Loved them both

  75. j.... ....

    Pure class!

  76. R.... K....

    there are no country singers today.today what they call country is just noise

    R.... K....

    ROBERT K. ECHTERNACH I love todays country as well you just ain't listening to the right ones George Strait, Allen Jackson, Jason Aldean, Dirk's Bentley. As the time changes we have to learn to adjust and accept it is what it is.😄😄😄

    R.... K....

    I agree today's country is just a noise it is crap

    R.... K....

    You got that right

    R.... K....

    melanie matthews You should leave out Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean, and just stick with George Strait and Alan Jackson. They're extremely talented--and THEY sing country music. Always have, always will.😊💒

    R.... K....

    Jimreeves

  77. J.... W....

    Greatest singer ever.

    J.... W....

    Amen!!!

  78. S.... ....

    It was during this period Ray did his best work....a bit smoother than earlier but before he began thinking he was another Frank Sinatra.  It AIN'T country if there isn't a good steel guitar in there somewhere along with a somewhat muted fiddle.....THIS tune is definitive country music.    Incidentally, if you want to hear a modern pedal steel MASTER, look on YouTube for Dave Hartley and see what I mean.

    S.... ....

    Speedy I have to admit you're right.  I loved Ray best during the late '60's and 70's when he finally figured out his voice and what he did best.  But don't get me wrong, I love all his work, but this era is definitely my favorite.  I was at his last concert and the man was still belting them out, he just did what he loved as long as he could.

    S.... ....

    True,David Hartley plays some fantastic E-9 tuning stuff but You never see him venturing off onto the C-6 neck.

  79. S.... H....

    What a class act.  One of the few singers who really improved with age.  Get out and see Redd Volkaert or Dale Watson or Kelly Willis or Bruce Robison if you despair at country music being gone.  It's not gone, just a little below the surface.

  80. N.... B....

    Bluegrass honors the fathers of that music, but country has forgotten the greatest singers of all times. Shame on Music Row.

  81. M.... C....

    Brilliant...they don't make them like that anymore...

  82. M.... H....

    He was SO good!!

  83. j.... s....

    most stars of today are poor excuses for country. They have no music; just noise; no story; you don't know what they are saying for the bang=bang racket. so sad!

    j.... s....

    They r not stars today they r crap

    j.... s....

    yes Ronald   u are so right    I agree thanks   ruben   nl Canada

    j.... s....

    yes  james so true  yes  thank u I agree with u 100   ruben  nl Canada

    j.... s....

    @Ronald Friar igree.new country SUCKS

    j.... s....

    It is what is, not what it was,,,I like the old stuff better, I don't listen to much of the new c music,,give me hank,willie, patsy, and t t hall.

  84. A.... R....

    Gone but never forgotten...

    A.... R....

  85. j.... ....

    I guess you could say New Country is certainly different! I can't even watch the Country Award shows, looks more like a hip/hop festival. Classic Country made you feel happy, sad and sometimes just lucky, but I have trouble figuring out what the new artists are even saying, let alone know if there's a message in it.

  86. d.... ....

    We have the recordings/videos and a number of local groups do the classic country. The current country is certainly different than what we had back then.

  87. j.... ....

    Ray's 87, Willie and Merle aren't too far behind him. What will we have for country music in 20 years? Kind of scary to think of.

  88. k.... v....

    There be no singers like good country sing they the best it so sad country music gone I hope they stay a long time music today just not good like olden dayd

  89. k.... v....

    Love this one

  90. j.... ....

    He hopefully has a new CD coming out next month!!!

  91. J.... M....

    Always loved his music & do think that these kind of singers will never be replaced!

  92. j.... ....

    John, No one, they'll be lost in the ages ..... Oh their music will still be there but there is no one to fill their shoes. Even the ones I thought might fill their shoes are already retiring, not much left out there.

  93. J.... H....

    who's gonna fill their shoes?...

  94. j.... ....

    George, Before we lose another legend, make time if you can to see the ones we still have. I've seen Ray once and determined to see him at least one more time.

  95. G.... P....

    That was Terrible, George was in The Best Catagory. I wish i Could go see Ray. But, I gotta work.

  96. j.... ....

    We're losing our legends since we lost George Jones yesterday. What are we going to do when they're gone? I'm off to see Ray in concert on May 4th, I'm getting excited.

    j.... ....

    May 4th

  97. G.... P....

    RAY PRICE, AN AMERICAN LEGEND FOR SURE. George
