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.

Make The World Go Away Lyrics

Ray Price

Chorus:
Make the world go away
And get off of my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And Make the world go away.
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away.
Chorus:
Make the world go away
And get off of my shoulders
Say the things you use to say
And Make the world go away.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away.
Chorus:
Make the world go away
And get off of my shoulders
Say the things you use to say
And Make the world go away.
Just say the things you used to say
And make the world go away...
