It's the flatland boogie When the mercurys high Tornado alley Is always hot and dry It's cotton fields and cattle ranchee Honky tonks and all night dances Flatland boogie Racin' trains down a rural route Cruisin towns and checking them out Buddy's gone but you can catch his soul Late at night on the radio It's the flatland boogie... Repeat chorus SMELL THAT BREAD by Wayne Hancock Every day about a half past four I take a walk for an hour or more It takes that long for the yeast to rise My gal likes to bake bread and pies Smell that bread She's my baby Smell that bread I love my baby Smell that bread Let me tell you brother, I'm hep to that baby of mine I go out walking all over town While she bakes them pies to a golden brown When I get back home I know they'll be nice and hot All I'm missing is some kissing to hit the spot Smell that bread ... BLUES SUEDE SHOES By Carl Percins TONIGHT THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN By Wayne Hancock You don't need to worry so My love for you will always be We could be together for all time, dear If you will give your heart to me Tonight the rain is coming down I pained to see it for so long Your love to me is like the raindrops That fall until the drought is gone I drifted all across this land Forever searching for a home To be without a woman's sweet touch Is the saddest feeling that I've known But now my sorrow's washed away There's joy in this new home I've found My heart's just a sea of greener pastures And tonight the rain is coming down Tonight the rain is coming down...
