Born to poor sharecroppers, one of eleven children in Sledge, Mississippi, Pride is a timeless everyman, revered by his musical peers and adored by countless millions of fans around the globe. Charley Pride unofficially started his music career in the late 1950s as a ballplayer with the Negro American Leagueâ€™s Memphis Red Sox singing and playing guitar on the team bus between ballparks. Self-taught on a guitar bought at the age 14 from Sears Roebuck, Pride would join various bands' onstage as he and the team roved the country. After a tryout with the New York Mets, Pride decided to return to his Montana home via Nashville. It was there he met Jack Johnson, who upon hearing the singer perform, sent him on his way with the promise of a management contract and a newly forged relationship that would last for over a decade.

A Good Chance Of Tear-Fall Tonight Lyrics

Charley Pride

When we met you brought the sunshine in the summer of our love
And like the sun then everything was bright
Your love changes like the weather now there's dark clouds up above
And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight
Your love is like the weather it changes every day
Summer has turned to winter and nothing's right
The forecast is cold and lonely since you went away
And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight
[ steel ]
Now I'm living in the winter of a love that used to be
Me and the clouds are low since you're gone
The rain has started falling as I think of you and me
And there's a good chance of tearfall all night long
Your love is like the weather...
And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight
