Shelton, Ricky Van - If They Turn Off Our Lights Lyrics






Last night I lay tossing in the bed
Every bill we owed went through my head
I said "It ain't no joke. Girl we're almost broke"
And then you quietly spoke, and you said

If they turn off our lights, we'll kiss in the dark
If they reposes our car, we'll take the bus
Honey if we lose the house, we'll sleep in the park
One thing they can't do, they can't take us, away from each other

I wish I could be a millionaire
Buy you rings and take you everywhere
There's nothing I won't do, to get these things for you
But if it all falls through, you'll still be there

If they turn off our lights, we'll kiss in the dark
If they reposes our car, we'll take the bus
Honey if we lose the house, we'll sleep in the park
One thing they can't do, they can't take us, away from each other

If they turn off our lights, we'll kiss in the dark
One thing they can't do, they can't take us, away from each other

    Growing up listening to so many great Country Music artists like Hank Snow, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Conway Twitty as well as Ricky Van Shelton and George Straitt. I am just so thankful for the technology we have today that allows us access to all these great artists and to those who have taken the time to share this music with us all. Thank You!!!.

    Good Lord this man can sing. Each song he sings takes me back to a time and place that can never be seen or had again...

    I've had the privilege of meeting Ricky. 5times. all I can say is still wow. I even got a kiss and hug. he was do personable. didn't mind how good looking he is.. it's a shame he stopped performing. one of hos songs...."I'll leave this world loving you" just tears me up because of my first love and best friend won't talk to me anymore. I. just cry every time I hear it. thanks. so much that we are still able to hear his beautiful voice

    J.... M....

    Jennifer McDaniel Him and his wife are two of the greatest people I know.They're down to earth and never ever live beyond their means.

    He Has A Very Lovely Voice And Should Still Be Able To Sing,,

  13. A.... ....

    This song was written by Wayne Kemp AND Mack Vickery. They wrote NUMEROUS Hits as a songwriting Duo and also as Individual songwriters.

  14. j.... h....

    Dosen't get any better than this thanks for posting///

  15. K.... Q....

    This gentleman can sing a song. He takes you back to places with each and every song. What a voice.. I love listening to him.

  16. P.... D....

    Another compliment and thanks, Mr. M. Ryder. I pick and grin, I come back here to learn Ricky's songs and you're always here to help with your emotional pics. Also thanks to the songwriters who made it happen for him.

    Ricky Van Shelton has the best voice there ever was. It's a shame he's not still making music. When you hear his voice you know who he is. No other can match. Love it!

    S.... H....

    Sarah thats called the it factor when an artist starts to sing you know exactly who it is....like Randy Travis, Willie Nelson, Gene Watson, Con Hunley, Alan Jackson....just to name a few

    S.... H....

    All great great artists.I especially like Alan Jackson.Ricky is as good or better than all of them.His voice is second to none in Country.I love RVS.

  18. s.... o....

    i know who i dont like it at all  .... i love this song 

  19. s.... g....

    Ricky is The Most Talented Artist That I have ever Known.his Voice is amazing I just love it.

  20. J.... W....

    this is rvs at his best.

  21. c.... b....

    I think Ricky Van Shelton does a really good job with this song just as he does with all he sings no other voice like his, although I also like Mel Streets version

  22. L.... ....

    RVS should have never covered this. It isn't any comparison to Mel Street's original. Not being negative on Ricky Van, this just isn't his deal.

  23. L.... ....

    Mel Street's song from 1980.

  24. B.... P....

    My WHO'LL TURN OUT THE LIGHTS night shirt is about wore out. I guess I'll go on his website and see if I can order a new one. Have loved that night shirt for 21 yrs. Just can't give it up. I wish Ricky would make a new album. Miss that voice.

  25. B.... P....

    It's not hard for me to decide whose version of any song is the best...Ricky has the most incredible voice and has the ability to make you feel the words. Totally underrated. The best male vocalist ever. Like all the others from the 80's and 90's, but RVS always the best.

  26. w.... ....

    The most under rated singer ever, Love Conway Mel Street Wayne Kemp All Have Good Versions, None compaire to Rickey Van Shelton

  27. W.... D....

    Look up Mel Street, and listen to his version.

  28. a.... ....

    It is hard to choose between Ricky and Conway on this song. Conway and my late husband looked a lot alike, they both died in their early 50's. It was a tragic day for me. I love them both.

  29. K.... K....

    hell i find it hard to disagree about Ricky Van Shelton having the best Country voice songs like this is why that argument is so debatable.

  30. G.... W....

    @caswell1000 You sure know your music Midnightryder, and the pictures to the words are very sensual.

  31. G.... W....

    @caswell1000 i absolutely love this song. It is sooooooooooo touching.

  32. G.... W....

    In answer to his questions: I wish. Wonderful pictures!!!!!!!!!

  33. G.... W....

    No one sings it like Ricky Van Shelton. Even at his age now, he's still the most handsom, sexiest cowboy. I'll refrain from some comments since I am married. Great song, Ricky!!!!!

  34. L.... ....

    Ricky has always been my favorite male country singer and so sad he felt he had to retire. Thanks for keeping his music alive here in youtube. No other voice is as pure.

  35. w.... ....

    The most amazing country voice ever...

  36. G.... W....

    Great voice...great song..handsome cowboy..sexy eyes..WOW! Love you Ricky.

  37. M.... ....
