You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn 1978
written by L.e. White, Lola Jean Fawbush.
You’re the reason I’m ridin’ ‘round on recapped tyres
An’ you’re the reason I’m hangin’ our clothes outside on walls
An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Ah, but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same
You’re the reason I changed to beer from soda pop
An’ you’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
You’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Oh, but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same
I guess that we won’t ever have, everything we need
‘Cause when we get ahead, it’s got another mouth to feed
And that’s the reason my good looks and my figure’s gone
And that’s the reason I ain’t got no hair to comb
An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Ah but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same
Conway, why in the devil don’t you gon’
And shave an’ put on a clean pair of pants?
Loretta, look at yourself
I wish you’d take them curlers out of your hair
An’ go put on a little bit of make up
An’ get out of the housecoat before supper
Ha well let me tell you somethin’, Conway
Considerin’ everything I went through today
I look like a movie star
Yeah, Ruth Cassidy
Thank you
Besides that
All of our kids took after your part of our family anyway
Oh they did, huh? What about the one’s that’s bald?
Well, I guess you might say they took after me

"Good Morning, Heartache"
Good morning, heartache, you ole gloomy sight
Good morning, heartache, thought we'd said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning, heartache, what's new?
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, hearache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin around
Good morning, heartache, sit down
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, hearache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin around
Good morning, heartache, sit down
