Jeannie C. Riley

Jeannie C. Riley (born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson, October 19, 1945) is an American country music and gospel singer. She is best known for her 1968 country and pop hit "Harper Valley PTA" (written by Tom T. Hall), which missed (by one week) becoming the Billboard Country and Pop number one hit at the same time. In subsequent years, she had moderate chart success with country music, but never again duplicated the success of "Harper Valley PTA". She became a born-again Christian and began recording gospel music during the late 1970s. more »

If you could read my mind love what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a cast the dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind love what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel the kind that drug stores sell
When you reached the part where the heartaches start
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
You won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script enter No 2
A movie queen kkep to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out of me
But for now love let's be real
I never thought I could act this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong but the feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a cast the dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
But stories always end

And If you read between the lines you'd know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelin's that you lack
I'd never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong but the feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back
