Standby Lyrics


Jim Reeves Standby


I'm just a standby
Standby in your heart
I'm just a standby
Never played a leading part.

I'm just an extra
And extra on your list
And if I left you
I never would be missed.

I'm going somewhere
Somewwhere far away
Be going a long time
I might even stay.

The open road is calling me
I'll find a home on the rolling sea
I'll find the love where I will be.

More than a standby
Standby in your heart
Won't be a standby
I'll play the leading part

I'm going somewhere
Somewwhere far away
Be going a long time
I might even stay...
