Released
on Places I’ve Been, 2008. This
performance is from a 1969 demo recording, with Mayne singing
both vocal parts and playing resonator guitar as well as the
flattop.
The song expresses my love for Buck Owens’ sound
and the songs he and Harlan Howard contributed to the world.
(Dave Lindley sang a rockabilly arrangement on Kaleidoscope’s
eponymous album, soon after it was written.)

I’m
sitting here, my thoughts move too and fro
I wonder if I ought to tell you so
But words compared to thoughts move so darn slow
Let’s stop the talk, turn out the lights, and let the good
love flow.
I’d like to say I’ll never let you go
But if I did you’d back right out my door
And I might change my mind in a year or so
Let’s stop the talk, turn out the lights, and let the
good love flow
When all is said and done, the words don’t matter
My actions, not my words, show what I know
You’ve listened to me speak my mind before
You must have understood me weeks ago
In silence love might have a chance to grow
Let’s stop the talk, turn out the lights, and let the
good love flow
