The Pace That Kills

Ellen Muriel Deason (August 30, 1919 – July 16, 2012), known professionally as Kitty Wells, was an American country music singer. Her 1952 hit recording, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", made her the first female country singer to top the U.S. country charts, and turned her into the first female country star. Her Top 10 hits continued until the mid-1960s, inspiring a long list of female country singers who came to prominence in the 1960s. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Too many parties and too much drinking too many sweethearts too little thinking
I love you darling I always will but honey you're devoted to the pace that kills
What kind of future is there before you a wife and children would only bore you
So till God call you to pay your bill your restless heart must travel after pace that kills
[ steel - fiddle ]
You're traveling down brave with eyes wide open
And I'm through pleadin' and tired of hopin'
You're always searching for bigger thrill
And honey I could never stand the pace that kills
What kind of future is there before you...
