LOVE OVER LONESOME
As recorded by Country Gazette

I like eggs over easy, gravy over bread,
Staying overnight and feeling overfed.
I like talking over some things and laughing over wine.
I'll take love over lonesome every time.

CHORUS: I'll take love over lonesome; I've had 'em both before,
And I don't care if I'm ever lonesome anymore.
It ain't hard to choose between the two, and I've made up my mind:
I'll take love over lonesome every time.

I like jumping over fences, stepping over lines,
Like working over welfare and double overtime,
Take nickels over pennies and dollars over dimes.
I'll take love over lonesome every time.

I like flying over deserts, sailing over seas.
I like climbing over the mountains with the moon over the trees.
I'll take the top over the bottom, the front over behind.
I'll take love over lonesome every time. CHORUS

I like boots over my feet, hat over my head.
I like overcoats and overalls and mirrors over beds.
Like your hair over my pillow and your lips over mine.
I'll take love over lonesome every time. CHORUS

I'll take love over lonesome,
Love over lonesome,
Love over lonesome every time.
