JANUARY, APRIL AND ME
(Billy Mize)

Roy Clark - 1970
Jimmy Dean - 1971
Dick Curless - 1972


In the nineteen-fifty-seven, blue and green, two door sedan
We divided all we own, I've packed all that I can
The back seat's piled high with things, in the front seat tears are flowin'
I'm drivin' down a lonely road without a single thought to where we're goin'

But January, April and me
We're pulling out so you can be the girl you wanna be
Go get 'em Little Miss Uptown, ride high, ride free
But say goodbye to January, April and me

The tiny rocker, teddy bear and dolls are gone and won't be in your way
I forgot to take the old pipe you never liked, just throw it away
I don't think April understands, but January's cryin'
I know what her heart is goin' through
Here we are, the three of us leavin' the rest of us
Knowin' you're a part of all we do

But January, April and me
We're pulling out so you can be the girl you wanna be
Go get 'em Little Miss Uptown, ride high, ride free
But say goodbye to January, April and me

SPOKEN:
Come here, January. Don't cry, Baby. Daddy loves you. 
You know you gotta be my big girl now. 
Help Daddy take care of April too. 
Daddy's gonna get you and April a puppy when we get to our new home. 
C'mon, you gonna help Daddy drive. 
Sure, we're gonna be happy....... Sure.

Say goodbye to January, April and me
January, April and me
We're pulling out so you can be...........FADE
