My Heart To You (2003)

I've Got A Winner In You I ought to know, what it's like to lose at love. I've done it enough and I ought to know. But then you came my way and towed away the fear of pain. I won't lose again, this time I know. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. I know how it feels, when you try and try again. And then you never win; I know how it feels, Oh, but thes time around, I fin'lly found what it's all about. They write songs about the way that I feel. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. It's Good To See You Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you, since Ive been gone Ive crossed the ocean travelled through many lands And its good to see you to be in your home Theres something in me, that makes me wander Theres many a land, I have to see And when Im far away, in a land of strangers I know my good friends, think on me Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you, since Ive been gone Cause Ive crossed the ocean, travelled through many lands And its good to see you, to be in your home Oh its a wonder, when it comes to friendship No matter how far away, no matter how long Theres a constant thread, thats never broken And it ties me to, my friends at home Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you since Ive been gone Cause Ive crossed the ocean, travelled through many lands And its good to see you, to be in your home Back In My Younger Days Back in my younger days, I used to go all night Now I just stay at home, and everything is all right Back when I first met you, I used to live in a haze That was so long ago, back in my younger days I would do anything, just a stumbling fool Its a wonder Im standing here, Ive broken so many rules Now I dance with you every night, and still Im so amazed Your love made a man of me, back in my younger days

Oh, it doesnt seem that long ago You, you make it feel like the first time we made love And I aint ever getting enough Well, well, well.... As I go through the photographs, I laugh and turn the page Its the ballad of me and you, from such an innocent age Talk about a dream come true, we reinvented a phrase Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days Back in my younger days, Back in my younger days Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days We're All The Way Theres no cause to think that I wont stay, havent I been with you all the way. Theres no time like now to make amends, cause after all were more than friends. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way. There are times that I dont see the light and I dont know if what I do is right, when Im wrong its never meant for you, so dont confuse my love with what I do. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way Stay Young Oh, dont ya lose that light in your eyes Youre never too old to love, never too late to try When somebody needs you Give em all you can give Oh, when youre livin to love and a lovin to live CHORUS: Stay young keep your wheels in motion Youve got everything that you need Stay young with your rock n rollin All the best things in life are free Oh, dont ya feel like playin the fool Just step outa line and break all the rules Well, dont you let them tell you, Its not for you Oh, dont go growin old, before youre due Till The Rivers All Run Dry Till the rivers all run dry Till the sun falls from the sky Till life on earth is through Ill be needing you I know sometimes you may wonder From little things I say and do But theres no need for you to wonder If I need you, cause Ill need you Too many times I dont tell you Too many things get in the way

And even though sometimes I hurt you Still you show me, in every way In The Family Well I was raised up by the golden rule In an old house with a patched up roof We had a hard home but it pulled us close We were family Oh that summer when the crops all died Was the first time I saw Daddy cry An I heard Momma say what goes on here stays In the family CHORUS: Well our clothes werent new, that old car was used We held our own Whoa you just cant buy, that sense of pride We grew up on, In the family I remember every Sunday night After supper round the firelight How peaceful Daddy looked As he read the good book In the family Well, some folks said we were barely makin do We were better off than they ever knew We never had much but we sure had love In the family Lay Down Beside Me Ive spent my life looking for you Finding my way wasnt easy to do I knew there was you all the while And its been worth every mile CHORUS: So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin of this world away Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat And dont ever wander away Mornings and evenings all were the same And there was no music till I heard your name But I knew when I saw you smile Now I can rest for awhile True Love Adam and Eve on a Saturday night Thats when the trouble started She said Adam lets go for a bite She led him through the garden And ever since then we tried to make sense of this mystery emotion But we might as well try to count the stars in the sky or those raindrops in the ocean CHORUS: Well you know its true love Deeper than deep Hotter than a fire Well itsa harder to find and its harder to keep

Its the thing we most desire I was alone for so many nights I really started to wonder If I had run outa chances to find A spell I could fall under Then you walked in like an Elvis film you were singing Love Me Tender I was a hypnotized by your blue eyes and the next thing I remember And there is true love in a waking eye and the sweet perfume that lingers And itsa I love you on a new tattoo and that diamond on her finger Its the true love we most desire We Should Be Together I think about you When I dont want to Dream about your smiling face I keep trying not to love you But I love you anyway We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied I have thought to come to know you Ive come to need your company What will I do if I cant have you If I cant have you What will I do We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied I Recall A Gypsy Woman Silver coins that jingle jangle Fancy shoes that dance in time Oh the secrets of her dark eyes, They did sing a gypsy rhyme Yellow clover in tangled blossoms In a meadow silky green Where she held me to her bosom, Just a boy of seventeen CHORUS: I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of lifes sweet wine Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows And stir the darkness in my mind

Oh gentle woman you sleep beside me Little know who haunts my mind Gypsy lady I hear your laughter And it dances in my head While my tender wife and babies Slumber softly in their beds

Sitting in the barroom ordering another beer She stepped up on the stage, but nobody wanted to hear And every word she sang was sweet music to my ears CHORUS: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say It dont matter if the world dont listen Dont you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me I sat there at the bar she sang the blues all night Singing straight from the heart, living every line I wanna tell you girl, you touched this heart of mine End of the night, they turned the lights down low While the band packed up she was standing there ready to go I walked up and said, hey I just want to let you know It dont matter if the world dont listen Dont you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me Ride On Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rocking horse Straight into the pale moonlight, make believe of course But whats a little girl of eight Supposed to do when shes up so late She cant sleep cause it sounds like hate Coming from her momma and daddys room CHORUS: Ride on, ride on Out to where it dont hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before Your momma left and your daddy cussed All they ever seem to do is fuss, ride on Tommy Lees got a space machine, he keeps it ready on the launching pad Cause thereve been times that he has seen, an alien invade his dad So he heads out for the stars Past the moon and straight to Mars But what about the invisible scars That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home Your momma left and your daddy changed You dont even know whos to blame, so ride on BRIDGE Some people just lose control, some people hit overload Some people act like some people, they never thought theyd be So why cant we all see The only antidote, The only way to cope The only true hope is love So everybody wont you, Go ahead and test your faith Theres still a lot of hope, its never too late

I Turn The Page (1998)

Take It Easy On Yourself Theres two hundred people pushin up dasies In the graveyard out back of the old Baptist church There were some schemers, sme sinners and dramers and not one died wishin they spent more time at work Chorus: Take it easy on yourself The world will keep turnin Without ant help I love you better than anyone else Take it easy on yourself Leave all the old tears, the good times and lost years The guilt and the heartache right where they are I got no hard lesson just love without question So right now just lay down in these open arms Bridge: Unhook your burden let it all free Sometimes Lifes harder than it ought to be I got no hard lesson just love without question So right now just lay down in these open arms Her Perfect Memory I remember how we struggled when we first started out She recalls we had it all not what we did without I think back on those hard times she remembers only love Who am I to say thats not exactly how it was Chorus: Thats how she remembers it She was the lucky one Just take a look at both of us and you tell me who won If she thinks I hung the stars If thats what she believes Then who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory You ought to hear her tell the kids how mom and daddy met It always amazes me the things that she forgets Somehow she gets it turned around but its still my favorite part How Mommy looked in Daddys eyes and I stole away her heart Tag: If I made all her dreams come true as far as she can see Who am I to tamper with her perfect memory Elise

To ride on the wings of love, ride on Something About You I dont want nobody Im better off alone Im sworn to independence My heart is made of stone But youre breaking on through Oh theres something bout you Ive been tapping my toes To the way you talk And Ive been singing along To the way you walk Ive got to do Something bout you Chorus Well Ive got this place/life of mine Its nice and quiet and I like it fine I work real hard got no time for you But Ive whiskied up my coffee cup Sitting here trying not to call you up Its getting to where I dont know what to do Oh theres something bout you. Bridge Something about you like distant thunder And I cant say I aint been warned But theres no shelter to crawl under Ever gonna save me from this storm Oh theres something bout you I cant shake Theres something bout you Thats been keeping me awake The whole night through Oh theres something bout you Cracker Jack Diamond Well he spent that summer going door to door With a can of gas and an old lawn mower Thats a sure fire way to make a buck when youre fourteen Well he made a block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sitting on the porch eating ice cream Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didnt wash them thank the lord CHORUS: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young like a Cracker Jack Diamond Well its been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkles gone, but not in their eyes And hes wanting to tell her whats been on his mind lately

He said, girl I aint rich but Ive been saving up A little ever day til I had enough Before he finished he said, you know I will baby Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord Now once a year she takes it out but it wont fit her hand But she wears it in her heart because thats where it all began From Now On Everybody comes with baggage Places and poeple before You dont know what all your getting When love walks through your door, through your door Ive had some hills and some valleys Youve done some traveling too You can tell by the dents and the scratches Our hearts arent exactly brand new CHORUS: From now on is all that counts From now on is all that matters Thats what livings all about From different roads we find each other Youre the only love I want, from now on Im thankful for the ones before me Im grateful that they didnt stay We cant do a thing about it And its made us who we are today repeat Pancho Chorus Pancho dont you like me no more Pancho to me our friendship means more Pancho please forget what I said Cause Pancho were headin towards our end. I remember the first time when you came to town Speaking in Spanish making the rounds When you first saw me ypour face was agrin And you called me the Cisco kid Bridge I said someday youll be happy with me Pancho I remember the good times when you loved me so I gave you my hat and wore your sombrero And all of the times you saved me from death Oh Pancho you were the best I had a black horse you had a grey My horse was fastest but yours di okay When it came to chasin rustlers wed always win Cause we were Pancho and the Cisco kis Oh Pancho were headin towards our end

A Handful Of Dust Handful of Dust, Handfuls of Dust, True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust. Well break us down by our elements, And you might think He failed. Were not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail. And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust However small though our worth may be, When shared between two hearts. Is evermore than it would ever be measured on its own apart. And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust Harry And Joe Harry and Joe move south with their wives Enjoying the golden years of their lives But life doesnt always give back what it owes Suddenly there was just Harry and Joe Now Joed been a teacher gentile and calm Harry, a teamster with a fuse like a bomb Thrown in together by lifes crazy whims That pepper and salt like their unshaven chins CHORUS: Harry and Joe lean to and fro They lean on each other wherever they go Two lonely fighters doing all that they know To get through each day Harry and Joe Harry and Joe, cheating at cards In a Florida apartment that smells like cigars They brag about grand kids and the wives they love so In the late afternoons of Harry and Joe An ambulance siren from across the backyard Joe looks at Harry and deals out the cards Harry and Joe lean to and fro Like they lean on each other wherever they go What tomorrow may deal them theres no way to know So they get through today Harry and Joe They get through each day Harry and Joe How Did You Do It? You dont seem to be doing all that bad In fact you look good You dont seem to be feeling all that sad Like I thought maybe you would CHORUS: How, how did you do it How did you let it go How, how did you do it I need to know

Now youve got friends to help you when youre sad Theres even someone youve been seeing Now I know theres nothing wrong with that In fact its a good thing One last question before you go If youre really over you and me How did you get there, I need to know Cause thats where Id like to be repeat I Sing For Joy When I was younger, the hunger came calling And humbly I answered each rising and falling I will not surrender at this wiser and tender age I turn the page CHORUS: And I sing for Joy For the smile that it brings, from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise, till her love put a song In the soul of this good ole boy I sing for Joy When I was lonely, my angel found me She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away Now I can sing Who could come nearer, to making life clearer The time were together grows dearer and dearer When I must travel and I have to leave her alone Shes in my song

Flatlands (1996)
Shadow Land Everytime the tide comes in the tide goes out Some folks fail some do alright You could take a johnboat all the way to town Had an angry broken father, in a house beside the water CHORUS: Shadowland, what secret are you keeping Are you only sleepin to wake another day Shadowland, Oh how could I have loved you I never really knew you, anyway Funny how the stars down there shine so bright Breeze comes in just like a prayer Mama asked Jesus to keep Daddy home at night I guess it was a pity, but Jesus never did it BRIDGE: Storms blew up from Mexico, the boats would all come in Nights like that you could smell salt water on the wind I was so young back then Brother was a gifted child so they said We could build a starship in the yard Angry voices came from the house at night So wed play a game he made up

I took it to a fortune teller I thought that she might help me she looked into my eyes and smiled mysteriously but she didn't know as much as me I stared back, dejectedly 'cause I know where she's from, this side of the sun out behind these prison walls, dark clouds come and hard rains fall you pause a moment for a dream, they row you gently down the stream you wake up angry in the night, jump up, ready for a fight but the war is never won on this side of the sun now they tell me music can free a person's soul so I sing a song everywhere I go but it's not much oifferent than before I'm still looking for the door I wonder if there is one, on this side of the sun Gulf Shore Line Waves are rollin' in, lazy summer wind Sittin' in the sand, holdin' to your hand I was ten and you were nine Way out on the gulf shore line You became my girl, I became your man Underneath the stars, we were makin plans You said I do and you've done just fine Way out on the gulf shore line The sea will moan, waves will roll The sea gulls fly, on the winds that blow And Ill love you till the sun dont shine Way out on the gulf shore line Graduation day, Johnny walked away Hard to say goodbye, harder not to cry He had to leave his folks behind Way out on the gulf shore line Fifty years of life, thirty years of love Time has gone so fast, one life's not enough In heaven I know Ill find You and the gulf shore line Wash It All Away Day by day seems like you drift away maybe it's just a phase but it won't take a lot to put out this fire we've got what's left just don't seem so hot it flickers and strains waits for the rain as it fades from a fire to a dying flame, and it looks like rain 5ee the clouds in the sky they don't even seem to mind it will die don't they know feel the wind begin to blow soon it will bring the rain wash it all away

if I cover this flame safe from the pouring rain I don't think it would change a thing 'cause I just believe it's got to have room to breathe so it occurs to me I could lose either way here comes the rain if you don't come back the rain will wash it all away Which Way To Santa Fe Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico Ive got some things to say, she needs to know Small brown adobe there, where lives my heart I just cant make it here, with us apart Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico There was a dream I had, I had to see Salt of the ocean breeze, calling to me So much for me to do, so much to be Where is the dream I had, what do I see How can so much so right, be wrong Why should you have to leave To know where you belong No Problem Nobody's life is perfect nobody wins' em all In everybody's backyard a little rain must fall And when I think about you you're just the way you are If you were any different oh, it would break my heart You talk too much you laugh too loud When you hold my hand you act too proud You give me more lovin' than a man's allowed If that's the biggest problem I've got, no problem My house is not a mansion, my car is not brand new My clothes are out of fashion, my road's got a bump or two But when I think about you, the way you smile so sweet I know that you're not perfect but you're close enough for me You talk too much you laugh too loud When you hold my hand you act too proud You give me more lovin' than a man's allowed If that's the biggest problem I've got, no problem If that's the biggest problem I've got If that's the biggest problem I've got If that's the biggest problem I've got No problem Leaving For The Flatlands Sweetly flows the water from the mountain Softly falls the rain upon the leaves Gently blows the breeze among the cedars Quietly my heart is on its knees How could anything in all creation Be more beautiful than all I see

With it all my heart is not rejoicing Because the one I love is not with me Somewhere in between us was a difference Not we or all this beauty could secure And I know now my heart will ache forever And I wonder if this mountain can endure So l'm leavin'for the flatlands Goin' back where I was conceived Goin' back where nobody knows the difference This mountain knows too much about me I though it was written up in heaven That you would be with me and I with you Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference And they're wishin' there was somethin' they could do Silver Turns To Gold When I get up in the mornin' and I face a brand new day I know that you're beside me every step of the way for so long now we've been lovers always been the best of friends and I raise my glass up to ya' as we start all over again I'll love you till the day that I die with a feeling that will never grow old I'll keep my arm around you when you start to move a little slow and love will never fade away our story will forever: be told you know where you can find me when the silver turns to gold I gave my heart away to you the first time I felt the touch of your hand and twenty-five years later I still wanna be your man Restless Give me too many bad signs, Ill be gone and I can tell you why Right or wrong that's just the way I am Im not looking for sympathy, we either do or we don't agree All I need to know is where I stand So it's comin' right down to you, I wanna stay.if you want me to But I don't wanna waste your time, so I don't want you wastin' mine When the sun's sinkin' low, I get so restless Should I stay or go, that is the question I really need to feel that you'll never Leave me alone, maybe that's all I really need to know Maybe I get too impatient, when I sense your reservations I guess Im, just scared you'll say goodbye 'cause I would hope Ive let you know what it's like inside your love I pray it lasts for more than just awhile

So it's time to make up your mind either way I will survive Not knowing is enough for me to ride away with a broken dream When the sun's sinkin' low, I get so restless Should I stay or go, that is the question I really need to feel that you'll never Leave me alone, maybe that's all I really need to know

The Long Black Veil Ten years ago on a cold dark night A man was killed neath the town hall light There were few at the scene but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said, Son what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me The scaffold is high an eternity nears She stood in the crowd shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones You just call out my name and you know wherever I am Ill come runnin to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall all youve got to do is call And Ill be there, yes I will, youve got a friend If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds And that old north wind should begin to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud Soon Ill be knockin upon your door You just call out my name and you know wherever I am Ill come runnin to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall all youve got to do is call And Ill be there Hey aint it good to know youve got a friend When people can be so cold Theyll hurt you, desert you Theyll take your soul if you let them So dont you let them You just call out my name and you know wherever I am Ill come runnin to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall all youve got to do is call And Ill be there, yes I will Youve got a friend Pretend Pretend your happy when youre blue It isnt very hard to do And youll find happiness without and in Whenever you pretend Remember anyone can dream And nothings bad as it may seem The little things you havent got could be a lot If you pretend Youll find a love you can share One you can call all your own Just close your eyes shell be there Youll never be alone And if you sing this melody Youll be pretending just like me The world is mine it can be yours my friend So why dont you pretend Youll find a love you can share One you can call all your own Just close your eyes shell be there Youll never be alone And if you sing this melody Youll be pretending just like me The world is mine it can be yours my friend So why dont you pretend

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows nobody seems nobody knows but me The Letter Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane I aint got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone Im a goin home My baby jus wrote me a letter I dont care how much money I gotta spend I got to get back to my baby again Lonely days are gone Im a goin home My baby jus wrote me a letter Well she wrote me a letter Said she couldnt live without me no more Listen mister cant you see I gotta get back to my baby once more Any way yeah Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane I aint got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone Im a goin home My baby jus wrote me a letter Well she wrote me a letter Said she couldnt live without me no more Listen mister cant you see I gotta get back to my baby once more Any way yeah Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane I aint got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone Im a goin home My baby jus wrote me a letter My baby jus wrote me a letter You've Got A Friend When youre down and troubled and you need a helping hand And nothin, nothin is goin right Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest night

Currents (1992)
Only Water Shining In The Air Not that long ago I was on the run People telling me I should be someone And the things Id learnt were forgotten in my haste

Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased It was only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air Now Ive got a wife and she sees my through And Ive got a friend I can talk straight to And Ive got some dreams just a bit more down to earth And I dont forget what a rainbows really worth Cause its only water shining in the air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air If you want fame and fortune, then you just be my guest If you want to pay those dues, I wish you all the best But its only water shining in the air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the care It was only water shining in the air It was only water shining in the air Too Much Love Too much coffee, too much tea, too much sugar isnt good for me. Too much money and too much fame, too much liqueur drives a man insane. But too much love, too much love, theres no such thing as too much love. Too much fighting and misery, theres too much trouble in this world for me. Theres too much of this and too much of that and too much of anything will make you fat. But too much love, too much love, theres no such thing as too much love. Too many people saying dont do that, its a no, no, no, no, no. I dont need telling where its at I said I know, know, know, know, know, know. Too much pleasure and too much pain, somewhere someones getting too much rain and too much junks being advertised and too much television hurts your eyes. But too much love, too much love, theres no such thing as too much love. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la That Song About The River I have seen the paddle wheelers rolling south on a summers day. Ive seen the lovers at the guardrails with stars in their lemonade and Ive heard the hobos gather, heard their banjos brace the blade. Heard them sing about the river, called it the lazy mans parade. Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day. Last night I stood by the highway, pretended I was on my way. You know a hundred thousand headlights couldnt match

the milky way and when the moonlight touches the water, surely something touches me and I go reaching for the river like its reaching for the sea. Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day. Somethings go on for ever but truth dont ever stray. The wind may brush the water but the river wont persuade. Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day Catfish Bates They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I can catch a catfish anytime I want to Even when the moon man tells me they wont bite They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I know where that big ole flatheads a hiddin. Im a gonna take him home with me tonight I am the king of Looseyhatchie My home is on the river And them catfish they all know me by my sigh I keep my nose on the westwind My eye on the water And my mind on my business all the time Well I get me a plug a days worth of tobacco And a can a big ole redworms I go down to where the rivers runnin strong I throw my hook out on the water I let it float on down the channel And Ill have me a big ole flathead for too long Oh when they bury me I want to be somewhere on the river With a big ole flathead layin on my stone And them catfish will all be prayin Theyll be flatheads up in heaven So my ghost will leave them hatchie cats alone So Far, So Good I think Im is a world of trouble, talk about a worried man. I've seen enough women falling out of love to know Ive got one on my hands. There must be something going on that I dont know about. I got a feeling fore the weekends over shell be moving out. Oh but so far, so she hasnt packed a thing at all, she hasnt made a call, she must be thinking it over. So far so good. She hasnt done what I thought she would. So far so good. Oh the nights are the hardest to handle. So many things in my head. How much longer can I go on just taking a memory to bed. Im so afraid theres somebody else, Lord I hope Im wrong, but I cant help feeling that one of these mornings Ill be waking up alone. Oh but so far, so she hasnt packed a thing at all, she hasnt made a call, she must be thinking it over. So far so good. She hasnt done what I thought she would. So far so good. So far, so far so good In The Family

Well I was raised up by the golden rule In an old house with a patched up roof We had a hard home but it pulled us close We were family Oh that summer when the crops all died Was the first time I saw Daddy cry An I heard Momma say what goes on here stays In the family CHORUS: Well our clothes werent new, that old car was used We held our own Whoa you just cant buy, that sense of pride We grew up on, In the family I remember every Sunday night After supper round the firelight How peaceful Daddy looked As he read the good book In the family Well, some folks said we were barely makin do We were better off than they ever knew We never had much but we sure had love In the family Standing Knee Deep In A River Friends I could count on I could count on 1 hand with a left over finger or two. I took them for granted, let them all slip away, now where they are I wish I knew. They roll by just like water & I guess we never learn, go through life parched and empty standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst. Sometimes I remember the good people Ive known, some Ive forgotten I suppose. One or two still linger, oh I wonder now why I ever let them go. They roll by just like water & I guess we never learn, go through life parched and empty standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst. So the side walk is crowded the city goes by, I just rushed through another day & a world full of strangers turn their eyes to me, but I just look the other way. They roll by just like water & I guess we never learn, go through life parched and empty standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst. Go through life parched and empty, standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst Lone Star State Of Mind Your phone call took me by surprise Gee its been a long, long time Since those hot and humid Texas nights We went swimmin in the tide Corpus Cristi seems so far away And Im not talkin bout the miles There aint much I wouldnt give today Just to see one of your smiles

CHORUS: But Im stuck here in Denver Sippin California wine And Ive got all night to remember you Im in a lone star state of mind I just saw John Wayne on the late, late show He saved the girl and rode away But I was hopin as the credits rolled Hed make it back to her some day An its a thousand miles or more From here to your front door Oh, Id be there tomorrow if I had my way Well, Id jus pack up my guitar You know its really not that far And when you called you said Id have a place to stay The Old Trail Theres a new ridge road that cuts the mountain to the bone. Slices through the woods like there aint nobody home. You wheel on up the valley view. Youll never feel the climb. Oh but Ill take the old trail every time. The old trail, just moses right along, moves at the speed of a sweet love song and the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes. Yeah Ill take the old trail every time. Lately it seems things vanish by degrees. How soon we forget we made our tree houses out of trees. When we going to realise some reasons just dont rhyme. Yeah I take the old trail every time. The old trail. Now may she never fade. The one where the deer always have the right of way. How I love to watch the wintergreen along the timber lines. Yes Ill take the old trail every time. People all in cars let the radios do the talking but I always find that Im singing when Im walking. The old trail just moses right along. Moves at the speed of a sweet love song and the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes. Yeah Ill take the old trail every time. I take the old trail every time Its Who You Love Lying here beside her Ive come to understand If you want to be happy you can It dont take living like a king, it doesnt cost you anything All it takes is a woman & a man Because its who you love & who loves you Its not where you are if shes there too Its not who you know or what you do Its who you love & who loves you This modern world we live in is a sad state of affairs, Everybody wants what isnt theirs While the race for money & success in search of happiness, We turn out the light & go upstairs. Because its who you love & who loves you Its not where you are if shes there too Its not who you know or what you do Its who you love & who loves you

And fishin lines tied to the willow limb So we hold each other tight And own the world tonight Cause love is all that matters anyway Because its who you love & who loves you Its not where you are if shes there too Its not who you know or what you do Its who you love & who loves you Its who you love & who loves you Its not where you are if shes there too Its not who you know or what you do Its who you love & who loves you Well they dammed the river, they dammed the stream They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees Theres a laundra mat and a barber shop And now the whole meadow is a parkin lot Darlin' That's What Your Love Does Early this morning before you awoke There was mist on the creek while the cigarette's smoked And when the sun rose up and burned off the cold The smoke turned to silver and then turned to gold. Darlin' that's just what your love does That's what it does with a kiss I'm not the man that I just was Love don't get deeper than this. When I was young and my daddy was gone I'd go to sleep with the radio on Sometimes they'd played such a beautiful song Me and the Sand Man would sing all night long. Darlin' that's just what your love does When you just whispered my name I'm not the man that I just was Nothing about me's the same. Darlin' by this time tomorrow There's no telling who I might be Your love just keep changin' me. And I've come to think that the heart's like a kite And in the best breeze it still cannot take flight Until someone ties it and takes it in tow And it floats around heaven until it lets go. Darlin' that's just what your love does That's what it does with a touch I'm not the man that I just was Darlin' I need you that much. Darlin' that's just what your love does That's what it does with a kiss I'm not the man that I just was Love don't get deeper than this... Come A Little Closer Now stop that small talk, turn that light off It ain't my fault you look so fine My hearts achin? and I ain't fakin? I don't ask for much of nuthin', I just need a little lovin? Come on, babe, come a little closer Honey, move it over, feels so right Pull that shade just a little lower Come a little closer, baby, tonight Now put that phone down, shut that door now Let's just think about me and you My hearts racin', time is a wastin? I don't want much of nothin?, a little kiss a little hugin? Come on, babe, come a little closer Honey, move it over, feels so right

True Love (1990)

True Love Adam and Eve on a Saturday night Thats when the trouble started She said Adam lets go for a bite She led him through the garden And ever since then we tried to make sense of this mystery emotion But we might as well try to count the stars in the sky or those raindrops in the ocean CHORUS: Well you know its true love Deeper than deep Hotter than a fire Well itsa harder to find and its harder to keep Its the thing we most desire I was alone for so many nights I really started to wonder If I had run outa chances to find A spell I could fall under Then you walked in like an Elvis film you were singing Love Me Tender I was a hypnotized by your blue eyes and the next thing I remember And there is true love in a waking eye and the sweet perfume that lingers And itsa I love you on a new tattoo and that diamond on her finger Its the true love we most desire Lord Have Mercy On Country Boy Well I grew up wild and free Walkin these fields in my bare feet There wasnt no place I couldnt go With a twenty-two rifle and a fishing pole CHORUS: Well I live in the city but dont fit in You know its a pity the shape Im in Well I got no home and I got no choice Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy When I was young I remember well Id hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail The river was clear and deep back then

Pull that shade just a little lower Come a little closer, baby, tonight Cut off that late show, turn that lamp low Honey, you know how I feel My heart's beatin?, the night is pleasin' I ain't askin' that much of ya, all I want to do is love ya Come on, babe, come a little closer Honey, move it over, feels so right Pull that shade just a little lower Come a little closer, baby, tonight Come on, babe, come a little closer Honey, move it over, feels so right Pull that shade just a little lower Come a little closer, baby, tonight Just 'Cause I'm In Love With You It's true, youve got me going, 'round in circles You keep me so darned dizzy, I could cry But every time you hurt me, I grow a little stronger I'll soon be strong enough to say goodbye. It will be so good to smile Gee, it's been a long, long while After all that I've been through Just 'cause I'm in love with you. But there will come a day, you'll see You won't have control of me You can't hurt me like you do Just 'cause I'm in love with you. (Instrumental) I'll ask, whatever saint looks after lovers I'll ask, would you please look after me And would you kindly hear my prayer, And have a little mercy? Please, if she doesn't love me, set me free. It will be so good to smile Gee, it's been a long, long while After all that I've been through Just 'cause I'm in love with you But there will come a day, you'll see You won't have control of me You cant hurt me like you do Just 'cause I'm in love with you... Back In My Younger Days Back in my younger days, I used to go all night Now I just stay at home, and everything is all right Back when I first met you, I used to live in a haze That was so long ago, back in my younger days I would do anything, just a stumbling fool Its a wonder Im standing here, Ive broken so many rules Now I dance with you every night, and still Im so amazed Your love made a man of me, back in my younger days Oh, it doesnt seem that long ago You, you make it feel like the first time we made love And I aint ever getting enough Well, well, well....

As I go through the photographs, I laugh and turn the page Its the ballad of me and you, from such an innocent age Talk about a dream come true, we reinvented a phrase Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days Back in my younger days, Back in my younger days Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days Donald And June Donald and June enjoyed their brief honeymoon Then they came home to lead the big baby boom June wanted boys, so Margie wore, short hair and corduroys Soon they had Claire then Linda and Louise, a matching pair June liked boys Donald and June they put some money aside But all in four years they gave away three brides June spent it all. Donald tried to keep each wedding small When they were broke he offered Claire a thousand to elope Claire said, Nope' If things were different for Donald and June Then things wouldn't be as they are Where did they go right And how did they ever come, so far Donald and June had finally emptied their nest They planned a long trip and then a couple year's rest But Claire had a spat and turned up with her suitcase and her cap Marg moved next door, now she won't need day care anymore And the twins had twins If things were different for Donald and June Then things wouldn't be as they are Where did they go right And how did they ever come, so far. Donald and June enjoyed their brief honeymoon Jamaica Farewell Down the way, where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop. But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Sounds of laughter, everywhere And the dancing girls swing to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico. But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. (Instrumental)

Down at the market, you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is good any time of year But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town... Loving You's Like Coming Home Ive been rained on, Ive been wind blown took a wrong road every now & then Ive been passed up, once or twice stuck & I thought love was just around the bend But lately my hope was wearing thin CHORUS: Its a lonesome and endless highway Ive been searching for so long And after all the miles Ive travelled Loving yous like coming home Ive been left flat, Ive been laughed at, wound up right back where I started from. Been the wrong way down a one way & I thought some day my day would come. But lately Id almost given up. Well Ive been flagged down, Ive been turned round & all that I found was a dead end street. Ive been stranded, marked & branded, treated underhanded by everyone I meet. But lately my dream is getting weak.

One Good Well Theres a million oil rigs pumping that black gold all over the world Sheiks and cowboy billionaires in limousines loaded with sparkling girls But money cant buy happiness just listen to the stories they tell All you need to really suceed in life Is one good well It takes one good well, deep and ever-flowing It takes one good well, to draw from night and day Pure and fine, its yours and mine and its, always enough Weve got one good well, overflowing with everlasting love Dont it seem kinda funny how people with a lot of money only hunger for more You think theyd learn that money can burn, its love that keeps the wolf from the door Precious love lies deep inside, hearts you cant buy and sell When the moneys low, still we know we got, one good well It takes one good well, deep and ever-flowing It takes one good well, to draw from night and day Pure and fine, its yours and mine and its, always enough Weve got one good well, overflowing with everlasting love Cryin' Eyes Could you just tell me how youre feelin Lately thats all I want to know Weve been actin so deceiving Youre holdin on & lettin go Cryineyes dont give a reason Lips dont always say whats so When you touch me Im believin You really dont want me to go They say in life there comes a season We dont know the answer why Without any rhyme or reason Folks drift apart and say goodbye Cryineyes dont give a reason Lips dont always say whats so When you touch me Im believin You really dont want me to go Cryineyes dont give a reason Lips dont always say whats so When you touch me Im believin You really dont want me to go I've Been Loved By The Best Darling if you ever leave me Well Ill just put my heart away I couldnt love again believe me No one could please me anyway And if another ever came along Id just turn them down cause after all Ive been loved by the best I cant settle now for less, why bother with the rest

One Good Well (1989)

Learn To Let It Go Theres a young man sits by the river Got his head held down in his hands Theres a lost love in every teardrop And reasons that he just dont understand Theres a dirt road runs by the river Comes an old man stepping high with a soft voice & kind intentions he said son you know youre too young to cry Some things were meant to just roll by CHORUS: Youve got to learn to let it go, when love lets you down Learn to let it go, so you dont miss the one waiting to be found With a love thats going to bring you round Only love is going to bring you around He said now I know its hard to imagine that one day you wont feel so bad. I know youre going to take comfort from this experience that Ive had.

Baby, Ive been to the top I guess, with you I have been blessed I wont take nothin less, Ive been loved by the best Broken Heartland He climbs up on his John Deere Shoves a plug of Redman in his jaw His eyes stretch cross the valley Way down to where theyre putting up a mall His baseball cap says Kansas The Washington says how much he can grow Theres a bank note in his pocket That says in 30 days theyll have his home Its hard living in a broken heartland Its enough to break a man and his beliefs Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland Cause hes living proof of a dying breed His sons gone off to college Learning skills thatll get him off the farm And his wife just keeps it all inside Still he finds his only comfort in her arms And this tractors been his treasure Oh how could an auction measure its true worth And every night he asks the Father That he may never lose this mother earth Its hard living in a broken heartland Its enough to break a man and his beliefs Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland Cause hes living proof of a dying breed Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland Cause hes living proof of a dying breed Just As Long As I Have You Well, I love to wander ... On a sandy shore And I love to wander ... Down the streets of towns Ive never been before Take me somewhere out of reach Lie in unfamiliar sheets and hear the ocean roar Ask for more I could not do, just as long as youre there too Just as long as I have you, Ill go anywhere Just as long as youre there too, I dont really care Ill go anywhere you are, cause with you is where I belong Ive just got to have you, to make my life complete Ive just got to have you, there to be a part of everything I see In the windows I walk past, in the mirror in the morning in the photographs In the candlelite cafes, let me always see your face Oh, it really doesnt matter just where the road leads To the top of a mountain or down to the sea Just as long as I have you, Ill go anywhere Just as long as youre there too, I dont really care Ill go anywhere you are, cause with you is where I belong Just as long as I have you....

Why Get Up (No Lyrics) Maybe That's All It Takes Ill love you forever and a day Thats what the love songs like to say In love it seems, life is but a dream When we started out it felt that way But it didnt take us very long To find out the world is not a song Life gets blue and love does too You learn to forgive and just go on Maybe thats all it takes Just letting go of the old mistakes And holding on tight to the love we made Maybe thats all it takes Weve done our share of slamming doors Wondering what were together for Yes weve been through a tear or two And for every tear I love you more And maybe thats all it takes Just letting go of the old mistakes And holding on tight to the love we made Maybe thats all it takes We're All The Way Theres no cause to think that I wont stay, havent I been with you all the way. Theres no time like now to make amends, cause after all were more than friends. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way. There are times that I dont see the light and I dont know if what I do is right, when Im wrong its never meant for you, so dont confuse my love with what I do. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way

Prime Cuts (1989)

Old Coyote Town Hes got a US flag on his front porch To remind everyone where he lives And up in the attic there are papers that prove The old house is finally his After thirty-five years the grass still dont grow In that rock hard west Texas ground Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town. CHORUS Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Of a cafe that dont need a name

Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll Past the boarded up windows down Main Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign At the drive-in where my innocence died With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime And down at the depot where I left for good Theres a hobo with his three-legged hound Waitin for a train, that no longer comes to that old coyote town And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rythm that dont ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by that old coyote town Daddy falls asleep in the living room On the sofa with the TV on Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me Sometimes he waits too long But I still think of the people and the place that he loves How much longer will they be around Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust For that old coyote town Heartbeat In The Darkness

There's my truck washed and gassed up, just itchin' for a ride. If this had been 6 months ago, I know what I'd have done. but Girl, I'm running out of reasons to run. Chorus: I'm running out of reasons, I've lost that restless feeling, Slowly I'm believing I'm where I'm supposed to be. When you hold me I feel no need to chase that setting sun. I'm runnin' out of reasons to run. There you stand smiling at me, sun light shinin' through your hair. There's that door standing open with no rush to go no where I'm finding all I've searched for in this love that we've begun and Girl I'm running out of reasons to run. Chorus:

Where love doesnt exist I wouldnt be a man if I didnt feel like this Looking Back Looking back, over my life I can see where I caused you strife But I know, yes, I know I'd never make that same mistake again Looking back, over my deeds I can see signs of wise man heeds And if I just have a chance I'd never make that same mistake again. Once my cup was overflowing I gave nothing in return Now, I can't begin to tell you What a lesson I have learned. Looking bac,k over the slate I can see love turn to hate But I know, yes, I know I'd never make that same mistake again. (Instrumental)

I'm running out of reasons, I've lost that restless feeling, Slowly I'm believing I'm where I'm supposed to be. When you hold me I feel no need to chase that setting sun.

But I know, yes, I know I'd never make that same mistake again... Till I Can't Take It Anymore Let's not fight it anymore, Unpack the bags and close the door I'll never leave you Though you lied right from the start I can't convince my stupid heart Not to believe you. You've got two good men strung out and there's not the slightest doubt That other men have loved you before Oh, but you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore. If I had one ounce of pride I'd stand up or step aside But girl I love you So I'll accept the crumbs you drop 'Cause I'm a fool and I can't stop Or rise above you. Let others speak up for themselves I speak for me and no one else 'Cause I'm a beggar knocking on your door Oh, you work your things so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore. (Instrumental) I'm too far gone to turn around To lift myself up off the ground And start all over Now, him or I must win or lose no matter which one you may choose

Like a, roll with me baby all night long Sold her soul with me baby all night long Id have to be from another planet

You'll be in clover. Darling, while you're making up your mind I'll be praying all the time That you will never, never be letting me go Oh, you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore. Oh, you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore. (Instrumental to fade) Another Place Another Time Oh its late, I know I should be leaving Weve both got someone waiting well have to go And its so strange to think that I just met you I almost wish Id met you long ago In your eyes I see a certain look And that same look must be in mine And who knows what we might have been Another place, another time Ill admit in time that Ill forget you Cause the truth is I still love her after all But even though we knew it couldnt happen For a moment we felt something oh so strong And in your eyes..... Old Coyote Town Hes got a US flag on his front porch To remind everyone where he lives And up in the attic there are papers that prove The old house is finally his After thirty-five years the grass still dont grow In that rock hard west Texas ground Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town. CHORUS Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Of a cafe that dont need a name Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll Past the boarded up windows down Main Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign At the drive-in where my innocence died With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime And down at the depot where I left for good Theres a hobo with his three-legged hound Waitin for a train, that no longer comes to that old coyote town And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rythm that dont ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by that old coyote town Daddy falls asleep in the living room On the sofa with the TV on

Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me Sometimes he waits too long But I still think of the people and the place that he loves How much longer will they be around Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust For that old coyote town You Love Me Through It All First I was love, then I came to be I had a heart inside of me And though my heart was working I found Still there was something it had not found. So I went away hoping to see Maybe Id find whats missing in me Knowing so well but not knowing why If I didnt find this something Id die. (Instrumental) And then I came to where I had been I knew the first was still not the end What I had left was not what I found Because there was you, because there I found. First I was love, then I came to be I had a heart inside of me And though my heart is still part of me You give my heart it's reason to be...

Id make a mark for each broken heart like notches on the butt of a gun. Once I had a trick up my sleeve & a reputation all over town. I was heartless & cold wherever Id go, I shot down every young girl I found. Well whod have thought that someone like you, could take a desperado like me, but oh here I am Im as meek as a lamb, my bleeding heart there at your feet. Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit. I used to be a heartbreak kid. Then I met you & the next thing I knew, there I was shot full of love. Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit. I used to be a heartbreak kid.

Time, Moves along And honey we just keep on a keepin' on 'cause love, makes us strong As long as we've got love, We can't go wrong CHORUS Send Her Roses They got a road out in Alaska now, I hear that you can go there. Tell me about Montana, with the cool blue mountain air. I know your honeys got the money, I can understand your wanderlust. Brother, and boy, for me these days, its refrigerator or bust. I ain't got no words for going, I got no longing for your open road. Don't get found rollin' into town tugging on a heavy load. You've gotta give me the nights with the city lights, and the people buzzin' everywhere. One hand upon the parking meter, the other on her easy chair. I'll send her roses, send her roses everyday. If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my day. I'll send her roses, send her roses once in awhile. I'm a long, long way from outta here, but you know I'm gonna go in style. Well, I was rollin' around Boston town, wasn't hardly anybody I know. Got to singin' low for the first three rows, puttin' on a lousy show. Well then I met her, I had to let her buy my lunch, I got the flowery plate. I'm telling you why, good brother don't laugh, think I got me one suitable mate. I'll send her roses, send her roses every day. If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my day. I'll send her roses, send her roses by the dozen. I've been having me a whirl with a pretty girl, and she told me she liked my lovin'. (repeat last bridge) Senorita Back in the innocent days, there was a young cowboy, in love with a Mexican girl. Only...She didnt know it. And he would watch her, as she walked by. And her cotton dress, would dance in the wind. And her eyes held the stars. Now she was the most beautiful thing, that cowboy had ever seen. Sent down straight from heaven. But he was afraid, hed never win her heart. Because of some family scars, left by the range wars.

But oh...how he loved her. CHORUS: Senorita...Passing by... Pardon me if I stop and asked you why. Senorita... Could it be... Someone like you could love Someone like me? So he walked up to her, tipped his hat and introduced himself. And she looked up at him, and didnt know what to say. So he told her the story of his family. The trouble that brought the barbed wire. And of all the things he couldnt change. And then he told her that he loved her. And he studied her reaction. And by the time the spring rains came, they were married. Now theres an old song that my family used to sing. Bout a young cowboy and a Mexican girl. And how they fell in love The Light In Your Eyes lyrics Honey when the light's not in your eyes Just makes me want to cry Cause I know what's ahead for me and you Even after all that we've been through When your eyes don't want to see me When your arms don't hold me near When your lips won't speak to soothe me Cause the light's not shining clear When your eyes don't want to see me When your arms don't hold me near When your lips won't speak to soothe me Cause the light's not shining clear I wish I had the magic words to say So the light would never go away It's so hard for me to realize My world is in the light that's in your eyes. It's so hard for me to realize It depends upon the light that's in your eyes. It's About Time Well, finally I see the lovelight in your eyes I can feel it when I hold you and you breath that little sigh It took awhile but now at last I finally understand All I want to be is be your man. Oh, it's about time, you've been drivin' me crazy Wonderin' if your love for me would ever come around. Oh, it's about time, you've been drivin' me crazy Take my hand and let's enjoy the love we finally found. (Instrumental) Well, I took it slow and drcided to show my love is here to stay Now, I'll be here tomorrow lovin' you more than today Although somebody hurt you so many times before Well, no one's gonna hurt you anymore. Oh, it's about time, you've been drivin' me crazy Wonderin' if your love for me would ever come around.

Oh, it's about time, you've been drivin' me crazy Take my hand and let's enjoy the love we finally found.

I know if youre thinking this couldnt happen to you Youd be a fool for believing Dreams wont fly away, sometimes they do.

Go walk your broken heart Maggie's Dream

When the one I love I know I leave behind. I'll Never Need Another You (Chorus) But there's many a hill that needs a crossing There's many places left to see But I know there's no folks that I'll be knowing And no face that will mean as much to me. When I walk down that long lonely highway In my mind you'll be walking there with me But I'll know that sorrows travelling my way Cause the road will be one way from you to me (Repeat chorus ) Beautiful Woman Ive been talking to a beautiful woman, all night long And I dont know if Im coming or going, feels so strong Theres a look in her eyes its turning me on Something inside says the bad time is gone Wonder why its taken so long Ive been looking for a beautiful woman, all my life Love can hit you when you dont see it coming, but thats alright All the love in the world, stepped into my life Im feeling so good, I could never describe Open your eyes cant you see Baby what youre doing to me All the love in the world, stepped into my life, Feeling so good, I could never describe. Open your eyes, cant you see Ive been talking to a beautiful woman, all night long And I dont know if Im coming or going, feels so strong All the love in the world, stepped into my life Feeling so good, I could never describe Open your eyes cant you see Baby what youre doing to me Ive been talking to a beautiful woman, all night long And I dont know if Im comin or going, feels so strong Ive been talking to a beautiful woman And I dont know if Im coming or going True Blue Hearts You have your ways, I sure have mine. We have our days, things go just fine. Then there are days wed leave if we could. Should we break it off when its not that good? Fairweather minds need the sunshine, it has to show which way to go, but true blue hearts see through the dark and keep our minds on days of sunshine. Each of us knows, try as we may those bad old days keep coming our way. Were digging in, theres just no retreat. Too many we know are down in defeat. Fairweather minds need the sunshine, it has to show which way to go, but true blue hearts see through the dark and keep our minds on days of sunshine These old boots that Im wearin Theyve bout seen their better days And these old jeans are feelin thin Theyre soon to fade away And this old hat that I keep wearin Aint gonna last no lifetime Theres only one thing that I know of I wont need two of in my time Chorus: Ill never need another you Youre loves gonna last me my whole life through Youve got a way of keepin, loves feelin new So Ill never need another you Ill always need a new tomorrow To find the time I lost today Ill always need another dream For the one that slipped away Ive got some things that need replacin Things like dreams and jeans its true But when it comes down to your lovin No one could love me like you do Chorus It's Time For Love Well tonight she came home early And she watched TV alone Lately the nightlife doesnt do much for her Its not that shes not pretty She could have brought some cowboy home But the last time that she did, it only bored her Well shes tired of crowded places Singles bars and strangers faces And she knows theres something missing in her life Its time for love shes had enough romance Its time for love, shes tired of one-night stands Anyone can see shes waited long enough Its time for love shes had her moonlight nights Its time for love, shes tired of neon lights Shes had everything else but now its time for love So she sits down at her mirror And she brushes out her hair She thinks about the men that shes let hold her There were some that took her dancing, There were some that took her home But no-one ever took the time to know her And as the tears start falling, Theres a voice inside her calling And she knows there must be something more than this. Its time for love shes had enough romance Its time for love, shes tired of one-night stands Anyone can see shes waited long enough Its time for love shes had her moonlight nights Its time for love, shes tired of neon lights Shes had everything else but now its time for love

I'll Be Faithful To You I can see your heart is aching He hurt you more than he knew But should you ever want to love again I'll be faithful to you You've been crying like a willow when the night bird sings so blue Trust was broken but hearts will heal and I'll be faithful to you. In this world of pain and sorrow where a promise wont hold true here's a vow you can be sure of I'll be faithful to you So let me dry away your lonesome tears like the sun melts morning dew and I will wrap you up in true, true love and I'll be faithful to you In this world of pain and sorrow where a promise wont hold true here's a vow you can be sure of I'll be faithful to you I'll be faithful to you

Maybe Im just chasing rainbows But its gotta be for ever when I fall But lately my hopes have been sinking Lately, I find Ive been thinking Maybe youre not really there at all. Tears and years go by and I havent found it Seems the dream should die But I hang on somehow Still I keep reaching out With all the loves that Ive been through Im still looking for you... The Story Of My Life Someday I'm gonna write The story of my life I'll tell about the night we met And how my heart can't forget The way you smiled at me. I want the world to know The story of my life The moment when your lips met mine And that first exciting time I held you close to me. The sorrow in our love was breakin' up The mem'ry of a broken heart But later on, the joy of makin' up Never never more to part. There's one thing left to do Before my story's through I've got to take you for my wife So the story of my life Can start and end with you. (Instrumental) The sorrow in our love was breakin' up The mem'ry of a broken heart And later on, the joy of makin' up Never never more to part. There's one thing left to do Before my story's through I've got to take you for my wife So the story of my life Can start and end. Can start and end Can start and end with you... Wrong End Of The Rainbow I know this feeling from somewhere, I know Ive been here before. The one I love forever doesnt love me anymore. So here I am heartache. My only friend, wrong end of the rainbow again. I was lookin for true love but I didnt get far before I tied all my heartstrings to some falling star. My only friend, wrong end of the rainbow again. Between the winning and losing theres a very fine line. This time I felt like a winner, when I was losin all the time.

Yellow Moon (1983)

Stay Young Oh, dont ya lose that light in your eyes Youre never too old to love, never too late to try When somebody needs you Give em all you can give Oh, when youre livin to love and a lovin to live CHORUS: Stay young keep your wheels in motion Youve got everything that you need Stay young with your rock n rollin All the best things in life are free Oh, dont ya feel like playin the fool Just step outa line and break all the rules Well, dont you let them tell you, Its not for you Oh, dont go growin old, before youre due I'm Still Looking For You Love comes once they say If its the real thing Me I feel that way Knowing you must be there Waiting for me somewhere Some people say that I'm a fool But Im still looking for you. Yes, I guess its sad the lovers Ive been thru Some I could have had But they never were enough Nobody measures up Lovers and friends Ive had a few But I'm still looking for you. Maybe its wrong, I dont know

I get this rainy day feeling that Im gonna be blue. I thought the day I found her Id seen the last of you. But here I am heartache. My only friend, wrong end of the rainbow again Yellow Moon The moon is on the rise it stares at me tonight. Im reminded of the arms that held me tight. Last time I held you it ended all to soon we were lying underneath a yellow moon. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky oh I wonder if youre watching it too. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky wherever you are its watching over you. Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon. Sometimes we sit and talk me and that old moon. I ask him are you happy or if youre blue. I start to reminisce to summers night in June, we fell in love underneath a yellow moon. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky oh I wonder if youre watching it too. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky wherever you are its watching over you. Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky oh I wonder if youre watching it too. Theres a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky wherever you are its watching over you. Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon Love Is On A Roll I cant work late Although I need the money Gotta get home to my lovin honey Shell be there waitin, waitin impatiently Love is on a roll Love is on a good roll Usually I meet with the boys of Friday Only this mornin she said this is my day The look she gave me sent a shiver down into my soul Love is on a roll Love is on a good roll Im a songwriter a professional dreamer Mostly a singer but sometimes a screamer I should know if anybody knows at all When love is on a roll Love is on a good roll So I gotta go, I gotta get home early Be with my woman, soft an curvy Makes me feel like a king And not a regular Joe Love is on a roll Love is on a good roll Pressure Makes Diamonds Well we've had our troubles, we've had our hard times Were some might have stumbled, we've always survived Sometimes love weakens, when the chips are all down But what we've got together gets stronger somehow (bridge)

Pressure makes Diamonds much harder than stone And they only get finer as each day goes on We've been through some bad times but we made it somehow 'cause if pressure makes diamonds, our love's a diamond by now Well we know the feelin' when the world closes in We've been there before, love, and we might go again The road may get rocky life may get hard But the whole world together can't tear us apart (repeat bridge) If Love Gets There Before I Do Another twenty miles and I'm halfway there, Another twenty miles and I'm running scared It's a beautiful night and I should be there I know you are tired of waiting And I know you are tired of hesitating If love gets there before I do, Darling don't you take it. If love gets there before I do, Darling don' t you do it, no don't you do it I know you're hearing line from those other guys Trying to wear you down under starry sky But you know that I want you to just hold on I know you are tired of waiting And I know you are tired of hesitating If love gets there before I do, Darling don't you take it. If love gets there before I do, Darling don' t you do it, no don't you do it I'll Take Your Love Anytime I have seen this old, cold world go gold and silver crazy. Some people live to fill their pocket and it never seizes to amaze me. If money can buy them happiness, that o'right for them I guess. Money sure can buy a lot, but it can't buy what I've got. CHORUS I'll take your love at anytime baby It's solid as a rock, bigger than the sky I'll take your love at anytime baby I know it will be there as time goes by I know I can count on you to keep the juices flowing This thing between a man and woman beats anything else going Talk of fortune and talk about fame It sounds nice is the way to tame Nobody But You Who, by touching my hand Makes me understand, questions my heart is asking Who, opened my eyes, made me realise

Love is everlasting Nobody but you, nobody but you Nobody else, could love me, like you do Nobody but you, could see me through Your love is true and I dont need nobody but you Who comes just close enough And shows me that love is nothing to be afraid of Who, holds me so tight every night And shows me what love is made of Nobody but you, nobody but you Nobody else, could love me, like you do Nobody but you, could see me through Your love is true and I dont need nobody but you

Cause all that I can think about is you Well, I know this is what youve always wanted But I know now that all I want is you So if you see Burt Reynolds Would you shake his hand for me And tell ol Burt , Ive seen all his movies Well, I hope you make the big time I hope your dreams come true But if Hollywood dont need you Honey I still do If Hollywood dont need you Honey, I still do Don't Stop Loving Me Now I know Im ready now To love you like you want me to Ive finally figured out That I depend on you I havent started loving you yet So dont stop loving me now Dont do something well both regret Dont stop loving me now Youve seen me running round Trying to live to fast I swear Im slowing down I know what I want at last Dont say youre walking out Now that Ive finally changed My life is turned around So dont stop loving me now I know Im ready now To love you like you want me to Ive finally figured out That I depend on you I havent started loving you yet So dont stop loving me now Dont do something well both regret Dont stop loving me now Dont stop loving me now Only Love You may live alone and close your eyes, some folks do You may dream a dream thats twice your size, all night through When the morning comes whos to tell your dreams to, only you Only love, love only, only love, will do Only love, love only, only love comes true Nothing else you see, theres nothing else, only love, only love I have known a love within my heart, one for you When this love began right from the start, I never knew If love should come your way youd ever say, I love you, I love you Only love, love only, only love, will do Only love, love only, only love, comes true

Listen To The Radio (1982)

Listen To The Radio I guess as a lover I have a ways to go When someone wants you they should just say its so But youll understand if youll take my hand Then we can dance real slow to something on the radio Listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio Lets spend the night together Baby dont go, they sing it on the radio I try to find a way to explain to you Whats on my mind and not sound so plain to you but youll realise if you close your eyes the feelings my words cant show Theyre playing on the radio Listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio Lets spend the night together Baby dont go, they sing it on the radio The words Id say dont seem so sound as real The songs they play, thats how I really feel So listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio Lets spend the night together baby dont go They sing it on the radio If Hollywood Don't Need You Well you know Im not much good at writtin letters So I gave up and decided that Id call Naw theres really not much new to tell ya Things back here they never change at all It snowed today, its cold here for November But I hear the weathers warm out there Oh, and if you see Burt Reynolds Would you shake his hand for me And tell ol Burt , Ive seen all his movies Well, I hope you make the big time I hope your dreams come true But if Hollywood dont need you Honey I still do Last night I drove the truck to Amarillo Some friends and I we had a laugh or two But lately we dont cut up like we used to

Nothing else you see, theres nothing else, only love, only love Fool, Fool Heart Fool, fool heart, what have you done I thought by now youd had enough but Oh no, youve got me falling in love again Fool, fool heart, guess youll never learn Taking chances like you do isnt smart My fool, fool heart Fool, fool heart how quickly you forget Just when you were about to mend You get to feeling lucky so you try it again Youre a fool, fool heart think youre bound to get it right And that loves just a puzzle with a missing part But youre a fool, fool heart Fool heart, God only knows How you make it through the highs and the lows Fool heart I wouldnt mind if I thought it would be the last time Fool, fool heart, you know Weve been through this before Seems like you said youd given up That you were through with being lost in love My fool, fool heart guess youve got to play loves game Still the losing is the hardest part, my fool, fool heart Still the losing is the hardest part, my fool, fool heart Mistakes People tell me, boy youre crazy Some people say that Im nuts For trying to get back together with you baby They say that once is enough I should never have left you cause now I need you Sometimes it happens that way I come back like a fool whos believing No matter what they might say I dont want to hear another word Dont need your well thought out advice Though I thank you all for being kind I can make mistakes myself just fine Ive got a good friend who knows my trouble he thinks Im wasting my time He said go out and have some fun shes not the only one But I cant leave her behind So, I dont want to hear another word Dont need your well thought out advice Though I thank you all for being kind I can make mistakes myself just fine I Can't Get To You From Here Im glad you called me I can still feel your voice Touch something inside me but I have no choice But to tell you Im no longer one of the boys

And I cant get to you from here. No, I dont think youd know me if you saw me up close Ive built me a family and I dont like to boast, But Im all settled in to what I need the most And I cant get to you from here. I cant turn back the years And get crazy again and have nothing to fear Easy as it might appear I cant just turn back and get there from here. I only bet when Ive got all the cards I dont take on all comers if they come to hard Im a daddy and a voter and I go to bed tired And I cant get to you from here. I cant turn back the years And get crazy again and have nothing to fear Easy as it might appear I cant just turn back and get there from here. I only bet when Ive got all the cards I dont take on all comers if they come on too hard Im a daddy and a voter and I go to bed tired And I cant get to you from here Standin' In A Sea Of Teardrops Standin in a sea of teardrops. Its getting deeper all the time. Standin in a sea of teardrops and every day I feel it rise. For every bit of pain you cause me, another little tear falls down. Baby if you hurt me one more time, I think Im gonna drown. Right from the start I saw you, and couldnt resist you. But I guess my heart, somehow knew, the first time I kissed you. But it wasnt long till you did me wrong and I felt the first tears begin. Oh but that seems so long ago. Ive cried an ocean since then. Standin in a sea of teardrops. Its getting deeper all the time. Standin in a sea of teardrops and every day I feel it rise. For every bit of pain you cause me, another little tear falls down. Baby if you hurt me one more time, I think Im gonna drown. So many times, oh you know, Ive tried to leave you. You say youll change, foolish me, I always believe you. Baby but then you hurt me again and theres not a thing I can do. Im a sinkin I know, but I need you so. I guess Ill go down lovin you. Standin in a sea of teardrops. Its getting deeper all the time. Standin in a sea of teardrops and every day I feel it rise. For every bit of pain you cause me, another little tear falls down. Baby if you hurt me one more time, I think Im gonna drown If She Just Helps Me Get Over You It may not make me tremble, The soft touch of her hand But she wont break my heart The way you do So Im gonna try to give her The best love that I can If she just helps me get over you. If she just picks me up when I get down

If shes there when the memories Walk around Maybe someday Ill love her As much as I love you If she just helps me get over you. (Instrumental) I dont suppose that lovin Will ever be the same But she wants me The way I wanted you So Im gonna try to give her The best love that I can If she just helps me get over you. If she just picks me up when I get down If shes there when the memories Walk around Maybe someday Ill love her As much as I love you If she just helps me get over you... (Instrumental to fade) Help Yourselves To Each Other What a time to turn your back on someone What a day to be without a friend What a shame when no-one seems to bother Who will offer shelter to candles in the wind And it follows we are only helpless children Ever changing like sunlight through the trees Its a long road we must cling to one another Help yourselves to each other, thats the way its meant to be And its said that life is like a ladder Just a dream were reaching for the stars Cant you see how little really matters We are only searching for what we really are And it follows we are only helpless children Ever changing like sunlight through the trees Its a long road we must cling to one another Help yourselves to each other, thats the way its meant to be Its a long road we must cling to one another Help yourselves to each other, thats the way its meant to be

He'll be a beacon in the night; In the chilly winds of doubt He'll keep you warm; When you can't find your way He'll be your light I Don't Want To Love You No, no, no, I dont want to love you And oh, oh, oh, Im tryin not to No, no, no, I dont want to love you But oh, oh, oh, I think I do. This heart of mine its been mistreated Loves done me wrong time and again After the way Ive been cheated I want you, and yet, I still cant forget Im so afraid to give in. No, no, no, I dont want to love you And oh, oh, oh, Im tryin not to No, no, no, I dont want to love you But oh, oh, oh, I think I do. I think about you every minute And I miss you when youre not around And every day Im getting deeper in it Im scared to go on but the feelins so strong I cant turn away from you now. No, no, no, I dont want to love you And oh, oh, oh, Im tryin not to No, no, no, I dont want to love you But oh, oh, oh, I think I do... Years From Now Years from now, Ill want you years from now Ill hold you years from now as I hold you tonight You are my one true friend always my one true friend And Ill love you till lifes end, as I love you tonight I know this world that we live in can be hard now and then And it will be again, many times weve been down Still love has kept us together for the flame never dies When I look in your eyes the future I see Holding you years from now Wanting you years from now Loving you years from now As I love you tonight Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good Lord, I hope this day is good Im feelin empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord, I hope this day is good Lord, have you forgotten me Ive been prayin to you faithfully Im not sayin Im a righteous man But Lord, I hope you understand I dont need fortune and I dont need fame Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain But when youre planning just how it will be Plan a good day for me

Especially For You (1981)

Fairweather Friends Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors, Will leave you stranded on life's shore. One good friend who truly loves you Is worth the pain your heart endures. We never know which way the wind will blow, Nor when or where the next turmoil will be. But He's a solid rock when troubles grow, And He's holding out a saving hand for me. He'll be a refuge in the storm;

Youve been the king since the dawn of time All that Im asking is a little less crime It might be hard fo the devil to do Especially You I see the rainbow in your eyes, I see all the colors pass me by I sure like the things my eyes can do, Especially when they see you. I hear the music of this day, I sure like the songs this world can play But most of all I like your tune, When you whisper I love you. My senses dont like, I get a definite high When youre near I feel clear off the ground Reach for my arms, and I will give you the stars There is nothing that is holding us down. I touch the textures of this earth, I felt for the good and I felt for the worse But I never knew what a touch could do Until I was touched by you. My senses dont like, I get a definite high When youre near I feel clear off the ground Reach for my arms, and I will give you the stars There is nothing that is holding us down. I see the rainbow in your eyes, I see all the colors pass me by I sure like the things my eyes can do, Especially when they see you... If I Needed You (Both) If I needed you, would you come to me? Would you come to me, for to ease my pain? If you needed me, I would come to you I would swim the sea for to ease your pain (E.H) Well the nights for forlorn And the mornins warm And the mornins warm with the lights of love And youll miss sunrise If you close your eyes And that would break my heart in two (Both) If I needed you, would you come to me? Would you come to me for to ease my pain? If you needed me, I would come to you I would swim the sea for to ease your pain (Instrumental) (D.W.) Babys with me now Since I showed her how

To lay her little hand in mine Who could ill agree? Shes a sight to see Treasure for the poor to find (both) If I needed you, would you come to me? Would you come to me for to ease my pain? If you needed me, I would come to you? I would swim the sea for to ease your pain Now And Then Now and then, a loser wins Gets a winning hand, now and then Once in a while the angels smile And someones life turns out just right Now and then dreams come true When someone like me Is loved by someone like you. So many times I just couldnt believing Id never find the one to make my life worth living Bur now and then miracles still happen Oh I know they do cause I found you. Itll always be a mystery That in all this world you chose me Its good to know that now and then It all turns around and theres really a rainbows end Now and then dreams come true When someone like me Is loved by someone like you Smooth Talking Baby Smooth talkin' baby I've been looking for you all my life it seems Smooth talkin' baby Maybe you're the meaning of my dreams. I've waited for so long for you to come alone I thought that time would never fly Do what you want to do, say what you're wantin' to I hear you talkin' with your eyes. Smooth talkin' baby I've been looking for you all my life it seems Smooth talkin' baby Maybe you're the meaning of my dreams. (Instrumental) You knew right where I'd be, you came to comfort me Im glad you heard my lonely cry So dance me to the door, so we can do much more Than just talkin' with our eyes. Smooth talkin' baby I've been looking for you all my life it seems Smooth talkin' baby Maybe you're the meaning of my dreams... I've Got You To Thank For That I've got Sunday school to thank for Jesus, Got educated thanks to mom and dad;

I can borrow money thanks to banker Johnson, Thanks to me, I've spent all that I have. I quit smokin' thanks to coach Kwolski, Thanks to Lefty Thompson I can fight; It took a while learnin' all life's lessons, But I learned about love in just one night. Honey, I've got you to thank for that, It's good from time to time to look back; But, It always reminds me that I love it where I'm at, Honey, I've got you to thank for that. [Instrumental] Thanks to Little Richard I felt crazy, James Dean made me feel that I too was bad; But then my life took on a new direction, Honey, I've got you to thank for that. Honey, I've got you to thank for that, It's good from time to time to look back; Bit, It always reminds me that I love it where I am at, Honey, I've got you to thank for that. Honey, I've got you to thank for that... Miracles Miracles, miracles, thats what lifes about Most of you must agree if youve thought it out I can see and I can hear, I can tell you why I can think and I can feel, I can even cry I can walk, I can run, I can swim the sea We had made a baby son and he looks like me Miracles, miracles thats what lifes about Most of you must agree if youve thought it out Well who is rich and who is poor, who has more than me Why I have quite enough to eat, And my mind is free Miracles, miracles thats what lifes about I found you and you found me, we are not without We are not without We are not without and Im happy We are not without We are not without and Im so happy We are not without

Give yourself some time to heal, If you fall be sure its real But it seems that every time, Im almost on my feet Someone makes me say hello, someone on the street Repeat It's Good To See You Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you, since Ive been gone Ive crossed the ocean travelled through many lands And its good to see you to be in your home Theres something in me, that makes me wander Theres many a land, I have to see And when Im far away, in a land of strangers I know my good friends, think on me Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you, since Ive been gone Cause Ive crossed the ocean, travelled through many lands And its good to see you, to be in your home Oh its a wonder, when it comes to friendship No matter how far away, no matter how long Theres a constant thread, thats never broken And it ties me to, my friends at home Its good to see you, so good to see you Oh how Ive missed you since Ive been gone Cause Ive crossed the ocean, travelled through many lands And its good to see you, to be in your home I Want You Back Again Well I don't know how it happened Must have been something I said We had some words, she said some things I guess I must have lost my head It's been a week since I left her And I can't go on this way I'll call her up and swallow my pride When she says hello I'll say I .. want you back again Oooohhhh what a fool I've been I... won't do that again My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend I want you back again (Instrumental) So Igather up all of my courage And I found my last dime I need it so , but God only knows If we can make up this time I tremble as I dial her number Ohh I hope I'm not to late I say it's me,and I hold my breath And softly I hear her say I .. want you back again Oooohhhh what a fool I've been I.. won't do that again

I Believe In You (1980)

Falling Again I should take my time, I know, take it easy, take it slow Every heartache needs to mend, before you love again So I hold on for awhile and try to keep this old heart free And then I look across a room and someone smiles at me CHORUS: Oh and heaven help me here I go again Before Ive even had the time for this old heart to mend Oh I just get over one heartache and then Here I go, like a fool, falling again People tell me take your time, wait awhile and clear your mind

My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend I want you back again... Simple Song It was warm now its cold. It was young, now its old. Love was here now its gone, simple song. Once she did, now she dont, once we tried now we wont. How could love go so wrong? Simple song. Oh it dont take much to say it and anyone can play it. All you got to do is live it and anybody can. Simple tune, simple words, simple me, simple her. She was here, now shes gone, simple song. Oh it dont take much to say it and anyone can play it. All you got to do is live it and anybody can I Believe In You I dont believe in superstars, organic food and foreign cars I dont believe the price of gold, the certainty of growing old That right is right and left is wrong That north and south cant get along That east is east and west is west, and being first is always best But I believe in love I believe in babies I believe in Mom and Dad And I believe in you I dont believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate I like to think of God as love, Hes down below, Hes up above Hes watching people everywhere, he knows who does and doesnt care And Im an ordinary man, sometimes I wonder who I am But I believe in love I believe in music I believe in magic And I believe in you Well I know in all my certainty Whats goin on with you and me Is a good thing Its true I believe in you I dont believe virginity is as common as it used to be In working days and sleeping nights, that black is black and white is white That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood That gasolines in short supply, the rising cost of getting by But I believe in love I believe in old folks I believe in children And I believe in you Ain't It Amazing Ive never had a face youd notice The world never took much notice of me

Ive never been good at conversation I was too busy tripping on my own feet Ive never had grand illusions Love was always for someone else But in a world, so few surprises Theres still a few surprises left Aint it amazing, that miracles happen Aint it amazing, you can still find your dream Aint it amazing, it all comes true When someone like you can happen to someone like me So hold me now so warm beside you Let me stay forever near Sometimes I think Im only dreaming But I wake up, youre still here Just Enough Love (For One Woman) Ive got just enough love for one woman, Not just any woman will do Ive got just enough love for one woman And that one woman is you Loves like it should be but I knew it would be Youre the answer to my dreams God helped me choose you, I dont want to lose you Found out what love really means Cause Ive got just enough love for one woman, Not just any woman will do Ive got just enough love for one woman And that one woman is you Heaven must miss you, I cant resist you When you look at me that way Im happy around you, so glad that Ive found you Youll always be my lucky day Cause Ive got just enough love for one woman, Not just any woman will do Ive got just enough love for one woman And that one woman is you I Keep Putting Off Getting Over You I keep your picture on my dresser I keep your pillow on the bed I keep believin' you still love me I keep sayin' you'll come back again. I keep a light on in the window I keep it burnin' day and night I keep sayin' didn't mean it When you said goodbye. Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you 'Cause that would be to hard to ever do I just can't believe you and I are through So I keep puttin' off gettin' over you. (Instrumental) I know you told me to forget you Said go and find me someone else But I keep sayin' youre going to come back

So I keep livin' all by myself. Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you 'Cause that would be to hard to ever do I just can't believe you and I are through So I keep puttin' off gettin' over you. Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you 'Cause that would be to hard to ever do I just can't believe you and I are through So I keep puttin' off gettin' over you... Rainy Nights And Memories Its hard to hide a lingering disappointment But most of the time I wear it well Bur there are times when I just cant help remembering The night you left, that rainy night when my whole future fell Rainy nights and memories go together And with every drop of rain I feel the pain I can almost hear my pleading, on the night you were leaving But I might have well have tried to stop the rain The blowing wind that moans outside my window Seems to echo the closing of a door For it was then I first realised I had heard your last goodbye And my whole world went crumbling to the floor Rainy nights and memories go together And with every drop of rain I feel the pain I can almost hear my pleading, on the night you were leaving But I might have well have tried to stop the rain Slowly But Surely Starting to want you when I dont want to, lately I find you on my mind. Comin on slowly, signs all show me something is growing as time goes by. Well you think about me when youre not with me, beginning to miss me when youre alone. Ever so gently you find you want me and its getting stronger all along. Were taking our time, its the slow kind, but we dont mind cause theres no hurry. Cause its a sure thing that were falling slowly but surely. I dont want to rush you by saying I love you, well let it happen on its own and when it does love one thing Im sure of, its gonna last us from now on. Were taking our time, its the slow kind, but we dont mind cause theres no hurry. Cause its a sure thing that were falling slowly but surely. Were taking our time, its the slow kind, but we dont mind cause theres no hurry. Cause its a sure thing that were falling slowly but surely CHORUS: Broken dreams and drowned parades, lovers who just slip away Guess I learn to live that way, it only rains on me Seems to me there was a time, it used to rain on friends of mine Now I look around and find, it only rains on me I'll bet this won't hurt you much, you'll find someone soon enough I'm the one that loses in love, it only rains on me It's time we said goodbye and so, I'll just take my cloud and go Don't worry you'll forget I know, it only rains on me We've Never Tried It With Each Other Well show me your wounds, Ill show you my scars. Well compare our broken hearts. I know what youve been through. Ive been hurt just like you. Love makes you sad, it makes you cry. Youve had tears and so have I. Dont give up on love yet. We might have one chance left, Cause weve been used, weve been hurt, weve had so many lovers, but how do we know love wont work we never tried it with each other. So get it off, off of your chest. I know how it feels myself. Its good for me and you to have someone to talk to and maybe who knows, maybe in time you and IIII might change our minds something tells me somehow. This time love just might work out. Cause weve been used, weve been hurt, weve had so many lovers, but how do we know love wont work we never tried it with each other. Cause weve been used, weve been hurt, weve had so many lovers, but how do we know love wont work we never tried it with each other We're All The Way Theres no cause to think that I wont stay, havent I been with you all the way. Theres no time like now to make amends, cause after all were more than friends. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way. There are times that I dont see the light and I dont know if what I do is right, when Im wrong its never meant for you, so dont confuse my love with what I do. This could be the time for you & me. We could go wherever we should be. So dont put words between us we shouldnt say, dont be acting half way, when you know were all the way Circle Driveway I wish I had a circle driveway Theres too much for me to leave behind If I only had a circle driveway Id just ride around and wave goodbye

Portrait (1979)
It Only Rains On Me I know all about black clouds, there's one that follows me around It may sound funny but somehow, it only rains on me It follows me almost everywhere, and it seems its hardly fair People will stop and people stare, but it only rains on me

I really cant believe she packed my suitcase I cant believe that both her eyes were dry The only thing we didnt have together Is a right now badly needed circle drive I Wish I had a circle driveway Theres too much for me to leave behind If I only had a circle driveway Id just ride around and wave goodbye Well Ill slam it in reverse and watch for traffic Cause I dont want the kids to see me cry Its time to head a new direction So Ill do my best to get it into drive I Wish I had a circle driveway Theres too much for me to leave behind If I only had a circle driveway Id just ride around and wave goodbye You Get To Me You get to me and its been plain enough to see that you get to me, you just cant believe how you get to me. Night after night Ive tried holding you tight and then Ill stay away. Ive tried holding your hand, being your man and just anyway. When it comes down to feelings its always the same old song , my poor hearts just reeling but you act like somethings wrong. Oh you get to me and its been plain enough to see that you get to me, you just cant believe how you get to me. If I could cry, bring a tear to your eye, maybe thats the way. Cause were in the strains of living your pains from yesterday. Really got to keep on growing, looking for the brighter day. Like the water that keeps on flowing well I just cant stay away. You get to me and its been plain enough to see that you get to me, you just cant believe how you get to me. Oh you get to me and its been plain enough to see that you get to me, you just cant believe how you get to me Steal My Heart Away Oh take a little bit of my love tonight and it will be alright. Steal my heart away itll be OK. Wont be hard for you to do, cause I want you to, steal my heart away. Were almost strangers, we dont know each other well. I got a feeling before the break of dawn we will. Youre slipping up on my heart, cant you see Im glad you are. Oh take a little bit of my love tonight and it will be alright. Steal my heart away itll be OK. Wont be hard for you to do, cause I want you to, steal my heart away. Something tells me that when this night is through. Youre gonna have me right where I want you to. Youre gonna sneak off with my heart. So what are you waiting for. Oh take a little bit of my love tonight and it will be alright. Steal my heart away itll be OK. Wont be hard for you to do, cause I want you to, steal my heart away.

Oh take a little bit of my love tonight and it will be alright. Steal my heart away itll be OK. Wont be hard for you to do, cause I want you to, steal my heart away Love's Endless War Hearts have been broken in the game of true love I'm afraid to surrender I'm not strong enough Give it all away open up every door My heart is a castle in love's endless war Dreams can betray you When you're far out that sea Many proud hearts have foundered on love's mutiny Give it all away Be a young fool once more My heart is an island adrift from your shore in love's endless war Woman You Should Be In Movies you said i was all you ever needed it was me that kept your spirits high well you're the only one who's ever fooled me you broke my heart without me knowing why woman, you should be in movies acting out some real important parts woman, you should be in movies instead of breaking real peoples' hearts love felt so alive when i was with you inside me you made a place still warm well, you should win a price for 'way you hurt cos there appears another loser's born woman, you should be in movies acting out some real important parts woman, you should be in movies instead of breaking real peoples' hearts Love Me Over Again Likely as not, theres been better weather I feel real sure theres been better times Right here tonight with you all around me Im so glad, right now is mine CHORUS: So honey tonight, make it alright Turn on your smile, for me for awhile Take me away, from where I have been I know you love me but, love me over again You have the way, to feel my emotions Til theres not a word, left in my mind Times get so hard, so confusing You make now a so much better time

Good Ole Boys Like Me When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head Then daddy came in to kiss his little man With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand He talked about honor and things I should know Then hed stagger a little as he went out the door CHORUS: I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Hank and Tennessee I guess were all gonna be what were gonna be So what do you do with good ole boys like me Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does But you aint afraid if youre washed in the blood like I was The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen John R. and the Wolfman kept me company By the light of the radio by my bed With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head When I was in school I ran with kid down the street But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed But I was smarter than most and I could choose Learned to talk like the man on the six oclock news When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road But it really doesnt matter how far I go

You've got a hold on me Won't let me be You're not even her I'm in love with the memory Another day with the blues Don't know how I'll get through it I've got your memory to lose And I don't know how to do it You've got a hold on me Won't let me be You're not even her I'm in love with the memory 2x Tears Of The Lonely Faded pictures, yellow from time. Well worn memories of days gone by. Needing someone and nobodys there. These are the things broken dreams are made of, Lord theyre everywhere. Tears of the lonely keep falling all the time, tears of the lonely never dry. Another nightime that just never ends. A helpless longing for what might have been. Another morning to face all alone. These are the things broken dreams are made of, they go on and on. Tears of the lonely keep falling all the time, tears of the lonely never dry. Tears of the lonely keep falling all the time, tears of the lonely never dry. All I'm Missing Is You I go to places we like to go I do the things we like to do Familiar faces we both know All Im missing is you Dont ask me how Im getting along Cause theres really nothing new Everythings about the same since youve gone All Im missing is you The same ole memories are just as strong Same ole dreams dont come true That same ole feeling goes on and on All Im missing is you Tulsa Time I left Oklahoma drivin in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin on to Arizona, maybe on to California Where all the people live so fine My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy I was goin to show em all this time Cause you know I aint no fool an I dont need no more schoolin I was born to just walk the line Livin on Tulsa time Livin on Tulsa time Well you know Ive been through it When I set my watch back to it

Expressions (1978)
I Would Like To See You Again I was sittin here thinkin about some old times Some old times, some old friends And suddenly it came across my mind I would like to see you again Remember how we used to walk and talk Walk and talk, holdin hands We said we love each other I recall We made a lot of future plans But the years have come and gone And a whole lot has happened since then But tonight your memorys awful strong on my mind And I would like to see you again Its funny how a feeling will come back Itll come on back, make you blue Cause I just saw a picture in my mind Bout a time, of me and you You've Got A Hold On Me Another lonely night and every passing hour Makes it harder to fight I'm still under your power You've got a hold on me Won't let me be You're not even her I'm in love with the memory Another morning alone I don't even remember How many battles you've won and I can't even surrender

Livin on Tulsa time Well there I was in Hollywood wishin I was doin good Talkin on the telephone line But they dont need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs Guess Im just wastin time Well then I got to thinkin, man Im really sinkin And I really had a flash this time I had no business leavin and nobody would be grievin If I went on back to Tulsa time Livin on Tulsa time Livin on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it Cause you know Ive been through it Livin on Tulsa time Lay Down Beside Me

(Instrumental) Think of the time that youve wasted While the world has passed you by Think of the life you never tasted Spread your wings and fly Give love a try. You cant live without loving You cant love Without giving of yourself You cant know What youre missing Till you give your heart away To somebody else. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me... (Instrumental to fade)

Ive spent my life looking for you Finding my way wasnt easy to do I knew there was you all the while And its been worth every mile CHORUS: So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin of this world away Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat And dont ever wander away Mornings and evenings all were the same And there was no music till I heard your name But I knew when I saw you smile Now I can rest for awhile Give It To Me

Not A Chance Oh, If you could only see me In the day or in the night Maybe then you would believe me When I say everything's alright. Have I told you if you leave me Winter, summer, spring or fall I could never love another It's you and me or none at all. I'll never smile again Not me, I'll never dance I'll never love again Not me, not a chance. (Instrumental)

You cant live without loving You cant love Without giving of yourself You cant know What youre missing Till you give your heart away To somebody else. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me. Love is alive deep inside you But youre afraid to set it free Give me a chance Let me guide you Let me show you how Were so close now. You cant live without loving You cant love Without giving of yourself You cant know What youre missing Till you give your Heart away To somebody else. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

I don't think I'd get up-tight now 'Bout this life I live alone And everything would be alright now When you just bring it on, back home. 'Cause, I'll never smile again Not me, I'll never dance I'll never love again Not me, not a chance. I'll never smile again Not me, I'll never dance I'll never love again Not me, not a chance. (Instrumental to fade) It Must Be Love First I get cold, then hot Think Im on fire, but Im not Oh, what a pain Ive got It must be love Theres nothing I can do All that I want is you Look what Im going through

It must be love CHORUS: It must be love, it must be love I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove You must be the dream, Ive been dreamin of Oh what a feeling, it must be love Something is wrong alright I think of you all night Cant sleep til morning light It must be love Seeing you in my dreams Holding you close to me Oh what else can it be It must be love When I'm With You

'Cause I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the mornin' sun Gold in the mornin' sun. I never could afford A store bought ring With a sparkling diamond stone All I could afford Is a loving heart The only one I own. 'Cause I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the mornin' sun Gold in the mornin' sun... Louisiana Saturday Night

If I could write about the way you make me feel I wonder what Id write Cause of all the words there are to use That never say it right When I only have a minute and Itd take a thousand hours And some new words too But my nights are never blue And I dont mind the rain when Im with you When Im with you the songs are already written Melodies turn into words nobodys ever said When Im alone the only thing I can say thats true Is my nights are never blue And I dont mind the rain when Im with you So if I could write about the way you make me feel I dont know what Id write Cause of all the words there are to use That never say it right When I only have a minute and Itd take a thousand hours And all those new words too But my nights are never blue And I dont mind the rain when Im with you

Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log Single shot rifle and a one-eyed dog Yonder come my kin folk in the moonlight Louisiana Saturday night CHORUS: Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow Kick off your shoes and throw em on the floor Dance in the kitchen til the morning light Louisiana Saturday night My brother Bill and my other brother Jack Belly full of beer and a possum in the sack Fifteen kids in the front porch light Louisiana Saturday night When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed Me and my woman gonna sneak of to bed Have a little fun when we turn off the light Louisiana Saturday night Overlookin' And Underthinkin' ou turned your head at things that I was doing You closed your mind to think your eyes could never stand the scene It's hard to look back now at what I'm ruining You're reaching now and holding on with love I couldn't see. Overlookin' and underthinkin' I wish that you could take me back and somehow set me free Overlookin' and underthinkin' Overlookin' lovin' you when you were lovin' me. Sometimes it seems the time is just all wrong And later on you realize how things were meant to be But time won't stop it just keeps moving on If only I had understood what you were giving me. Overlookin' and underthinkin' I wish that you could take me back and somehow set me free Overlookin' and underthinkin' Overlookin' lovin' you when you were lovin' me... Sneakin' Around

Country Boy (1977)

I'm Just A Country Boy I ain't gonna marry in the fall I ain't gonna marry in the spring 'Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl Who wears a diamond ring. And I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars Gold in the mornin' sun Gold in the mornin' sun. Never gonna kiss The ruby red lips Of the prettiest girl in town Never gonna ask her if she'd Marry me I know she'd turn me down.

Saturday evening your honey and you, lay back on the sofa watching the tube. The telephone rings, you jump to your feet, Don't answer that honey, I know it's for me Sneaking around, sneaking around, midnight romances the wrong side of town. You build it all up and you tear it all down ain't no good can come from your sneaking around. You put on your coat and sweetly you smile, you say you're gonna step out for a while. Down to the tavern for just one or two. She knows where you're going cause she ain't no fool. Sneaking around, sneaking around, midnight romances the wrong side of town. You build it all up and you tear it all down ain't no good can come from your sneaking around. It's three in the morning as you stumble in, she ain't there to ask you where have you been. The house is all empty, she's nowhere around, she got too lonely from your sneaking around. Sneaking around, sneaking around, midnight romances the wrong side of town. You build it all up and you tear it all down ain't no good can come from your sneaking around. Sneaking around, sneaking around, midnight romances the wrong side of town. You build it all up and you tear it all down ain't no good can come from your sneaking around Look Around You How do you like it Being lonely From what I see Youre someone who knows Well, maybe you and I Could get together Then we wont be lonely anymore. Look around you See where youve been You may never have to Pass that way again Look around you If you need a friend I might be the one Wholl make your loneliness end. Would you like to have someone to hold you Someone to tell your troubles to Someone to catch you if youve fallen Someone who really cares for you. Look around you See where youve been You may never have to Pass that way again Look around you If you need a friend I might be the one Wholl make your loneliness end...

(Instrumental to fade) I've Got A Winner In You I ought to know, what it's like to lose at love. I've done it enough and I ought to know. But then you came my way and towed away the fear of pain. I won't lose again, this time I know. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. I know how it feels, when you try and try again. And then you never win; I know how it feels, Oh, but thes time around, I fin'lly found what it's all about. They write songs about the way that I feel. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. I've got a winner in you. No way I can lose, A love I can hold on to. I've got a winner in you. Rake And Ramblin' Man I ran into an old friend of mine the other day We hadnt seen each other in quite a while What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way, He said, I thought It would be so easy, another one-nite-stand She seemed so warm and willin, right in the palm of my hand Its been three months ago last Wednesday, since I woke up in her bed Lord I think I love her, But it scares me half to death CHORUS: You know Im a rake and a ramblin man, Free as an eagle flies, But look at me now and tell me true, Do I look like a daddy to you?, Oh, do I look like a daddy to you? Now shes feelin sick in the mornings, she cant get into her jeans I spent my last ten dollars, bought her second hand reams I start to work next Monday, cause I just cant let her down Ive had me some good times, But its all changin now Too Many Tears (To Make Love Strong) It's coming all apart babe With every tearing word I've lost my taste for what I take from you When a painful night of silence Is the sweetest sound I've heard If I play your game I'm cheating on the truth (Chorus) It takes too many tears to make love strong

Too much of me for me and you to get along I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long It takes too many tears to make love strong It takes a lot of living A lot of going through To finally see and end to going down There's no getting up my courage For making up with you 'Cause making up just finds another round (Repeat chorus x 2) It's Gotta Be Magic I'm back on the road Sometimes I don't know It's hard to make good sense of it all When I have to roam My mind's back at home Thinking of you there all alone But we're doing well Somehow I can tell I really don't know It's something I feel Cos we've been making it strong Each day right along Though we both hate being alone Chorus It's gotta be magic we're still in tune there's good loving midnight or noon It's gotta be magic I know it's true Cos it's still working For me and you We keep saying goodbye We keep on wondering why though we both know it just has to be Oh but honey the road Can get to be such a load You're all that helps me make it I know Repeat Chorus 2x Falling In Love Love be gentle, love be kind As I give this heart of mine To a new love I hope will never end It seems like only yesterday Love was here and went away Out of love again but now I'm falling in Chorus Fallin' in love again I'd fallen out but there's no doubt I'm fallin' in, love again

I know that love won't always last When you fall in love to fast I should know better But here I go again Love be strong, love be true For what else can I do Love is calling and I know I'm fallin' in Chorus: Fallin' in love again I'd fallen out but there's no doubt I'm fallin' in, love again Chorus: Fallin' in love again I'd fallen out but there's no doubt I'm fallin' in, love again...

Visions (1977)
Time On My Hands Every day of my life until forever Was spoken for when you looked at me Now that youre gone my life goes on But all of the heart is out of me And Ive got time on my hands You on my mind, nowhere to spend all my love And Ill be here waiting if you ever change your plans Cause you own this time on my hands Every morning I see the future before me, Empty, as endless as the sky. I should begin to build life again But I just cant find a reason why. And Ive got time on my hands You on my mind, nowhere to spend all my love And Ill be here waiting if you ever change your plans Cause you own this time on my hands Ill Forgive But Ill Never Forget It wasnt easy and I know it Youd been alone much too long I had a job, places to go But Id rather ve been right here at home He had the time he could give you When your lips could never find mine And our little home was paying the price Of love left on the vine Forgiveness is something I guess it comes with time But even at best theres one thing I know Ill forgive but Ill never forget I guess when its over its over And your time is no longer mine But I never meant to cause all the pain I just wanted your love for mine And forgiveness is something

I guess it comes with time But even at best theres one thing I know Ill forgive but Ill never forget Im Getting Good At Missing You Solitaire, Im getting good at solitaire Ive got lots of time to spare Im getting good without you here Telephone, Im good at listening for the phone Im good at hoping youll call home Im good at listening for the phone Im getting good at thinking of you Im doing well at crying too Could be the best at being blue Im getting good at missing you Bedroom walls Im good at staring at the walls Dreaming footsteps in the hall Im good at staring at the walls Im getting good at thinking of you Im doing well at crying too Could be the best at being blue Im getting good at missing you In The Morning When the sun comes up and its time to get up in the morning Will you think of me and how it ought to be in the morning Well I dont know why you could say goodbye And I cant see how you could be Anywhere but here with me in the morning Where was I, when you made your move to go away Where was I, I didnt hear the things Ive always heard or always said Well its no lie, I never thought about it not a day And Ill tell you why, I really thought we always tried to say what should be said When the sun comes up and its time to get up in the morning Will you think of me and how it ought to be in the morning Well I dont know why you would say goodbye And I cant see how you could be, anywhere but here with me in the morning Missing You Missing Me Love is gone but not forgotten Memories are very much alive Life goes on, and life goes well but I wonder if Ill ever loose the pain of missing you Missing you, it wont let me be Wishing you were missing me Missing you, Ill never be free From missing you missing me You were here and then you left me Whos to say where anyone belongs I know now that Ill get by but I wonder if Ill ever loose the pain of missing you Missing you, it wont let me be

Wishing you were missing me Missing you, Ill never be free From wishing you were missing me Some Broken Hearts Never Mend Coffee black, cigarette Start this day like all the rest First thing evry morning that I do Is start missing you CHORUS: Some broken hearts never mend Some memries never mend Some tears will never dry My love for you will never dry Rendezvous, in the night A willing woman to hold me tight But in the middle of loves embrace I see your face Falling In Love Again I should take my time, I know, take it easy, take it slow Every heartache needs to mend, before you love again So I hold on for awhile and try to keep this old heart free And then I look across a room and someone smiles at me CHORUS: Oh and heaven help me here I go again Before Ive even had the time for this old heart to mend Oh I just get over one heartache and then Here I go, like a fool, falling again People tell me take your time, wait awhile and clear your mind Give yourself some time to heal, If you fall be sure its real But it seems that every time, Im almost on my feet Someone makes me say hello, someone on the street We Can Sing I want to be a worker, I want to sing and pray I never want to be your stumbling block along the way But in this hour of living so many people say They all have all the answers but they all have different ways But we can sing glory hallelujah brother We can sing if we put our hearts together And we pray, no one really has to tell us what to say Maybe we can really find the way Well I hope it comes together instead of all apart Cause the better things of living are written in our hearts, But on the stage this morning trouble is the star, Happiness is measured by our houses and our cars. But we can sing glory hallelujah brother We can sing if we put our hearts together And we pray, no one really has to tell us what to say Maybe we can really find the way But we can sing glory hallelujah brother We can sing if we put our hearts together And we pray, no one really has to tell us what to say Maybe we can really find the way

Harmony (1976)
Till The Rivers All Run Dry Till the rivers all run dry Till the sun falls from the sky Till life on earth is through Ill be needing you I know sometimes you may wonder From little things I say and do But theres no need for you to wonder If I need you, cause Ill need you Too many times I dont tell you Too many things get in the way And even though sometimes I hurt you Still you show me, in every way You Keep Coming Round You sure know how to get to me Somehow you just wont let it be We both know its all in vain But you keep coming round again The many days & nights weve tried But every time somebodys cried And every time should be the end But you keep coming round again Beats any I ever saw 'Cause I know how its gonna go but it just keeps going I guess I keep thinking well, maybe youre not stringing me on But if you are that string sure has been long Theres something there within your eyes

That somehow seems to paralyse And like before I never went You keep coming round again Dont You Think Its Time Don't you think it's time for us to work it out Don't you think you know what it's all about Don't you think it's sad living all alone So don't you think it's time for us to get along We know the songs of all the wrongs Love that died, nobody tried But here and now I know what's true I can't live without you So don't you think it's time for us to work it out Don't you think you know what it's all about Don't you think it's sad living all alone So don't you think it's time for us to get along Find the page that says we're old Is love at home or is it cold I Dont Want The Money I dont want the money, I just want your time Life without you honey isnt worth a dime We can think of dollars farther down the line I dont want the money I just want your time An air-conditioned car wont ever cool my heels Id rather have your love than money for the bills We dont need to stay with the Joness or the rest those thing wont ever give me what I love the best I dont want the money, I just want your time Life without you honey isnt worth a dime We can think of dollars farther down the line I dont want the money I just want your time Well maybe Jim and Judy might have this and that I hope where theyre lookin is really where its at But when it comes to money, baby its a fact Id rather be loved and lean than out of love and fat I dont want the money, I just want your time Life without you honey isnt worth a dime We can think of dollars farther down the line I dont want the money I just want your time Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It's gone forever and never looks back I met her in stillwell she just turned twenty A spirited beauty like I've never known And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river But she said she loved me and the free life I owned We married in april and lived by the river We worked that land from spring til the fall But I guess when the winter howled at our window She couldn't help hearing that wild river call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It's gone forever and never looks back She tried to conquer that wild rage within her But something too strong ran deep in her soul But I know she loved me, she cried like a baby That cold winter evening she answered the call Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma It's gone forever and never looks back Say It Again Oh all I needed, was one look One magic moment, was all it took From that moment, I loved you so Now that Ive found you Im never going to let you go So come on say it, say it again It sounds so good, say it one more time and then If you mean it say it again The hard parts over and the loving part begins Oh hold me closer, make me warm I feel wanted here in your arms Ive been lonely for too long Ive waited a life time for you to come along So come on say it, say it again It sounds so good, say it one more time and then If you mean it say it again The hard parts over and the loving part begins Come on say it, say it again It sounds so good, say it one more time and then If you mean it say it again The hard parts over and the loving part begins Maybe I Just Dont Know You came to me like a dove on the wing As great as your beauty was your freedom within You said to me the things on your mind But I couldnt help you I couldnt unwind Maybe I should have held you, maybe I should have tried Maybe I could have helped you through the night Maybe I should know better which way to go Maybe I just dont know . Sometimes the ground looks as hard as a rock But sometimes its muddy, so hard to walk Sometimes the beauty is covered with snow Sometimes the right seems the wrong way to go Maybe I should have held you, maybe I should have tried Maybe I could have helped you through the night Maybe I should know better sometimes which way to go Maybe I just dont know Magic Carpet

Wish I had a magic carpet together we could fly We could sail away together & watch the world go by If I had Alladins lantern Id know just what to do Cause all Id need to do is touch it to make my dreams come true But I dont have a magic carpet & magic lamps are hard to find And I cant conjure up a secret potion to steal your heart & make you mine All Ive gots a 4 leafed clover thats my only good luck charm But I get a magic feeling all over thinking about you in my arms No I dont have a magic carpet, magic lamps are hard to find I cant conjure up a secret potion to steal your heart and make you mine All Ive gots a 4 leafed clover its my only good luck charm But I get a magic feeling all over thinking about you in my arms Time Some people run, some people crawl, Some people dont even move at all Some roads lead forwards some roads lead back Some roads are bathed in light, some wrapped in fearful black Time oh time where did you go Time oh good, good time where did you go Sometimes Im satisfied, sometimes Im not Sometimes my face is cold, sometimes its hot Sunset I laugh, sunrise I cry At midnight Im in between and wondering why Time oh time where did you go Time oh good good time where did you go Time oh time where did you go Time oh good good time where did you go Ramblin' (No lyrics) She Never Knew Me She packed up her suitcase and walked to the door She said she wont come like shes done before I bet shes in Dallas before it gets dark I know shes thinking shes breaking my heart She knows I love her so she thinks Ill crawl But she never knew me, she never knew me, she never knew me at all She knows I love her, I know I need her God knows to please her, Ive tried and Ive tried By now if I know her, shes changed her mind Shell pull off the highway, and have a good cry And then like a lost child, shell want to come home Shell think Im waiting, there by the phone

Shell stop in some cafe, and give me a call But she never knew me, she never knew me, she never knew me at all
