NOBODY ELSE COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE

    
YOU WERE THERE,
WHEN I PLAYED MY FIRST OLD BAR.
JUST A HAND FULL OF COWBOYS,
ME AND MY GUITAR.
I DIDN'T HAVE A NICKLE,
BUT I HAD YOUR SMILIN' FACE.
NOBODY ELSE COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE.

NOBODY ELSE COULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ME,
YOU HELPED THIS OLD COUNTRY BOY,
BE ALL THAT HE COULD BE.
WAY DOWN DEEP INSIDE MY HEART,             
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE A SPACE.
NOBODY ELSE COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE.

YOU WERE THERE,
WHEN I SANG MY FIRST SONG,
YOU DANCED TO THE MUSIC,
AND I WATCHED YOU SING ALONG.
THE MEMORIES THAT YOU GAVE ME,
NOTHING CAN ERASE.
NOBODY ELSE COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE.
