Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others. Price developed the famous "Ray Price Shuffle Beat" that is heard on "Crazy Arms," which served as the beat for many honky-tonk classics since then.

If She Could See Me Now Lyrics

Ray Price

(Hank Cochran)
I saw the one I loved and lost last night again
I smiled and said hello like we were still old friends
Don't pitty me it never matter anyhow
But oh, if she could see me now.
If she could see me now when the night life's gone
I'd sat I really looked without my party face on
The way I just give up sit down and cry out loud
But oh, if she could see me now.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm first at every party and the last to leave
And no one sees the hurt that's deep inside of me
I drink too much and say who wants her anyhow
But oh, if she could see me now.
If she could see me now when the night life's gone
I'd sat I really looked without my party face on
The way I just give up sit down and cry out loud
But oh, if she could see me now...
