Just Between You and Me (1968)

  1. Because One of Us Was Wrong

    Lyrics: Because One of Us Was Wrong

    I'm sorry, I was weak enough to step out on you
    Well, I should have been strong enough
    Not to step out on you too
    I know that I'd hurt you
    And I stepped out for spite
    Because one of us was wrong
    Don't mean the other one was right
    
    I'm not making excuses for myself
    I was wrong as I could be
    But you shouldn't have cheapened yourself
    Trying to get even with me
    My conscience bothers me
    Mine, won't let me sleep at night
    Because one of us was wrong
    Don't mean the other one was right
    
    Two wrongs don't make one right
    And now, we both got heartaches
    But if we both try
    We can forgive each other, for our mistakes
    We're lettin' a wonderful love, slip through our hands
    We'd better hold on tight
    Because one of us was wrong
    Don't mean the other one was right
    
    Because one of us was wrong
    Don't mean the other one was right
  2. The Last Thing on My Mind

    Lyrics: The Last Thing on My Mind

    Mm, mm
    
    It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
    Made of sand, made of sand
    In the wink of an eye, my soul is turnin'
    In your hand, in your hand
    
    Are you going away with no word of farewell?
    Will there be not a trace left behind?
    I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
    You know that was the last thing on my mind
    
    Mmm
    As we walk along, my thoughts are tumblin'
    'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
    Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
    Underground, underground
    
    Are you going away with no word of farewell?
    Will there be not a trace left behind?
    I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
    You know that was the last thing on my mind
    
    Mm
    Mm, mm
    
    I've got reason a-plenty for goin'
    This I know, this I know
    For the weeds have been steadily growin'
    Please don't go, please don't go
    
    Are you going away with no word of farewell?
    Will there be not a trace left behind?
    I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
    You know that was the last thing on my mind
    Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
  3. Love Is Worth Living

    Lyrics: Love Is Worth Living

    I know what you're thinking, when you look at me
    The love in your eyes, is so easy to see
    It's real and it's good, what I feel for you
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    
    I understand, when you're not feeling well
    If there's something on your mind, I always can tell
    I'm there when you need me, and you're there, when I need you
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    We found the happiness, that very few do
    You know that I want you
    And you know, that I want you
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    We found the happiness, that very few do
    You know that I want you
    And you know, that I want you
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
    
    Love is worth living, when you love like we do
  4. Just Between You and Me

    Lyrics: Just Between You and Me

    So I feel so blue sometimes I want to die
    And so I've got a broken heart so what
    They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men
    And I know that someday I'll forget and love again
    But just between you and me I've got my doubts about it
    Just between you and me you're too much to forget
    So I've lost the only one I've ever loved
    And so I've never felt so low so what
    I'll just tell myself each time I want to cry
    That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes
    Just between you and me I'm not so sure about it
    Just between you and me you're too much to forget
    You're too much to forget
  5. Four O Thirty Three

    Lyrics: Four O Thirty Three

    We're the two new people that's moved to the middle of the block
    And we're at the talk of the town and don't you think we're not
    Well we found love and happiness, people envy us you see
    For we found Heaven right here on Earth at four o thirty three
    
    Yes, we found what most people are looking for
    And it's not a lotta money to spend on real fine car
    But it's so when and where a bird flies and sings so free
    And there's whole lotta winds in
    this little house at four o thirty three
    
    Four thousandth block proves what true love can do
    Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you
    Oh, all around the house you can see little children play
    And they're not other people's kids, we're proud to say
    They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
    They're a part of Heaven right here on Earth at four o thirty three
    
    All hours of the day you can see many people drive by
    For look at the house they think they're from the sky
    They think this place would make them as happy as you and me
    And the whole town's tryin' to buy our house at four o thirty three
    
    Four thousandth block proves what true love can do
    Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you
    Oh, all around the house you can see little children play
    And they're not other people's kids, we're proud to say
    They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
    They're a part of Heaven right here on Earth at four o thirty three
  6. This Time Has Gotta Be Our Last Time

    Lyrics: This Time Has Gotta Be Our Last Time

    Here we are again going in this cheap place
    What if was seen by a friend and they recognize our face
    We both know that it's wrong we both should be at home
    This time has gotta be our last time
    
    I know that you want me just as much as I want you
    You've got a family and I've got one too
    From now on we must stay apart we just can't break all their hearts
    This time has gotta be our last time
    
    This time has gotta be our last time
    We'll put our rings back on our hands
    Your conscience hurt you well mine does too
    I'm not this kind of woman and I'm not this kind of man
    We just can't go on cheating neither of us is this kind
    This time has gotta be our last time
    This time has gotta be our last time
  7. Before I Met You

    Lyrics: Before I Met You

    I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
    That was before I met you
    I never saw one that I wanted for mine
    That was before I met you
    
    I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
    I thought I could never be blue
    I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
    But that was before I met you
    
    I thought I'd stay single and always be free
    But that was before I met you
    And I said, no sweet thing, could ever hold me
    But that was before I met you
    
    I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
    I thought I could never be blue
    I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
    But that was before I met you
    
    I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
    I thought I could never be blue
    I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
    But that was before I met you
    
    That was before I met you
  8. Home Is Where the Hurt Is

    Lyrics: Home Is Where the Hurt Is

    We're well known in every honky tonk in town
    Not a night goes by, we don't make the rounds
    People wonder why we choose to live this way
    Why don't they ever stay at home, I hear them say
    
    But home is where the hurt is
    'Cause love doesn't live there anymore
    Home is where the hurt is
    That's why we don't stay at home much, anymore
    
    What was once our happy home, has come to be
    A place to fuss and fight, and disagree
    Our lonely house, with wall to wall regret
    And these bright lights somehow, help us to forget
    
    But home is where the hurt is
    'Cause love doesn't live there anymore
    Home is where the hurt is
    That's why we don't stay at home much, anymore
    
    That's why we don't stay at home much, anymore
  9. Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Lyrics: Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You say our love is over
    That you have found another
    You say you're going away
    
    But leave me tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You've hurt me enough today
    I can't believe the words you say
    But I must accept the fact
    You won't be coming back
    
    Oh stay
    Stay just one more day
    Loneliness isn't far away
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today

Just the Two of Us (1968)

  1. Closer by the Hour
  2. I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew

    Lyrics: I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew

    The first strange town I was ever in the county was hangin' a man
    And nobody cared if he lived or he died and I just didn't understand
    
    So I washed my face in the morning dew bathed my soul in the sun
    Washed my face in the morning dew and kept on moving along
    
    The second strange town I was in they were laughing at a poor crippled man
    Begging for nickels and dimes on the street and I just didn't understand
    
    So I washed my face in the morning dew...
    
    The third strange town that I was in was settled peaceful and nice
    The rich got richer and the poor got poorer and to me it didn't seem right
    
    So I washed my face in the morning dew...
    
    Now someday times are bound to change it can't be very far
    And each injustice that I have seen will come before the bar
    
    Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew bathe my soul in the sun
    Wash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done
  3. Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark

    Lyrics: Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark

    Her two little feet would come running into
    Our bedroom almost every night
    Her soft little face would be wet from her tears
    And her little heart pounding with fright
    She'd hold out her arms, then she'd climb in beside us
    In her small voice, we'd hear her remark
    "Mommy and Daddy, can I sleep here with you?
    'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
    
    One day in the summer, we took some flowers
    To place on some old family graves
    Jeannie said, "Mommy, ain't it dark in the ground?
    Oh, Daddy, I'd be so afraid"
    Then she looked up at her daddy and me
    And said something that broke both our hearts
    She said, "When I die, please don't bury me
    'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
    
    Jeannie was always afraid of the dark
    And we never could understand why
    'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care
    Because Jeannie was our only child
    Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
    'Cause it took her one dark stormy night
    I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown
    'Cause it seemed she was destined to die
    But on Jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame
    That glows and never loses its spark
    And on the darkest night, there's always a light
    'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
    
    Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
  4. Holding On to Nothin’

    Lyrics: Holding On to Nothin’

    We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to
    
    I'm so tired, of holding on to nothin'
    The years have shown no kindness
    For the hard times we've been through
    We've squeezed the life from every dream
    And still go right on bluffin'
    With really, nothing left to hold on to
    
    Oh, why do we keep holding on?
    With nothing left, to hold on to?
    Let's be honest, with each other
    That's the least, that we can do
    I feel guilty, when they envy, me and you
    We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to
    
    We were young, and foolishly, mistaken
    Victims of a passion, much too strong to be denied
    With only tears to show
    For all the years, that we've been faking
    God only knows, how long, how hard, we've tried
    
    Oh, why do we keep holding on?
    With nothing left, to hold on to?
    Let's be honest, with each other
    That's the least, that we can do
    I feel guilty, when they envy, me and you
    We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to
    
    We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to
  5. Slip Away Today

    Lyrics: Slip Away Today

    You jark back your hand away from mine
    And I move my lips away from yours
    Then quietly we sit trying to forget
    Those deep running thoughts that run wild across our minds
    
    You quickly stop the words you start to say
    And we realize just how close we are
    And we both know if we let ourselves go
    We'll do something we'll be sorry for
    
    Slip away today means sorrow tomorrow
    It's love we know but we can't keep but yet we like to borrow
    Trying to hold back emotions and desires
    It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for
    
    My love hungry heart begs for more
    Of what your lips hold in store
    But our conscience just won't let us at least tonight it kept us
    From jumping off the deep end and going too far
    
    But one of these nights you and I
    Will be ruled by the passion of our hearts
    And we both know that we let ourselves go
    And do something that we'll be sorry for
    
    Slip away today means sorrow tomorrow...
    It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for
  6. The Dark End of the Street

    Lyrics: The Dark End of the Street

    At the dark end of the street that's where we always meet
    Hiding in shadows where we don't belong living in darkness to hide our wrong
    You and me at the dark end of the street you and me
    I know time's gonna take its toll we have to pay for the love we stole
    It's a sin and we know it's wrong oh but our love keeps a coming on strong
    Steal away to the dark end of the street you and me
    They're gonna find us yes they're gonna find us
    They're gonna find us Lord some day
    You and me at the dark end of the street you and me
    And when the daylight hours roll around and by ten we're both downtown
    If we shoud meet just walk on by oh my darling now please don't you cry
    Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street you and me
  7. Just the Two of Us

    Lyrics: Just the Two of Us

    No we can't control the evil that surround us
    But as long as we're together that's enough
    
    If there were just the two of us how different things would be
    No one could come between us from now on
    The wagging tongues would speak no more the sounds of gossip gone
    Without a prying ear to fall upon
    
    No we can't control the evil that surround us
    But as long as we're together that's enough
    Though we have no power over those around us
    We can act as if there's just the two of us
    
    Though clouds of doubt may drift about upon a stormy sea
    I'll only draw you nearer onto me
    As long as we're together we'll never walk alone
    We'll build a world of sunshine of our own
    
    No we can't control the evil that surround us
    But as long as we're together that's enough
    Though we have no power over those around us
    We can act as if there's just the two of us
  8. Afraid to Love Again

    Lyrics: Afraid to Love Again

    If every time that you got hurt, it left a scar
    And if every dream you ever had, broke your heart
    If every time you made a plan, the world came to an end
    Then you'd know, why I'm afraid, to love again
    
    If broken dreams are all it seems, you've ever known
    And hurt's the only thing, you can depend upon
    And if you should find misery, to be your only friend
    Then you'd know, why I'm afraid, to love again
    
    If every time you look up, a cloud should hide the sun
    Pay dearly for each kindness, ever shown to anyone
    If everything you try, should fail, before you can begin
    Then you'd know, why I'm afraid, to love again
    
    Then you'd know, why I'm afraid, to love again
  9. We’ll Get Ahead Someday

    Lyrics: We’ll Get Ahead Someday

    We'll get ahead someday
    We'll get ahead someday
    If the sun comes up and we both cut down
    We'll get ahead someday
    
    Well, I get up early an' work hard all day
    Listen to the troubles of my friends
    But I don't realize 'til I get home
    What an awful shape we're in
    The car's wore out, the kids need shoes
    Got a bill from the doctor today
    The landlord said, "You'll get out tomorrow
    If you don't get me some pay"
    
    We'll get ahead someday
    We'll get ahead someday
    If the sun comes up and we both cut down
    We'll get ahead someday
    
    The paper says there's a sale downtown
    I've gotta have some money today
    Well, there's things at home that ain't never been used
    You bought last bargain day
    Well, you go out on Saturday night
    You spend too much money on wine
    Well, I work hard all week long
    And I gotta have a little fun sometimes
    
    We'll get ahead someday
    We'll get ahead someday
    If the sun comes up and we both cut down
    We'll get ahead someday
    If the sun comes up and we both cut down
    We'll get ahead someday
  10. Somewhere Between

    Lyrics: Somewhere Between

    I love you so much I can't let you go
    And sometimes I believe you love me
    But somewhere between your heart and mine
    There's a door without any key
    
    Somewhere between your heart and mine
    There's a window that I can't see through
    There's a wall so high it reaches the sky
    Somewhere between me and you
    Somewhere between your heart and mine
    There's a love I can't understand
    It's there for a while then it fades like a smile
    And I'm left in the middle again
    
    Somewhere between your heart and mine...
  11. The Party

    Lyrics: The Party

    As we were dressing to go out
    Our little girl and boy came in
    And asked if they could go this time
    We told them, little girls and boys don't belong at parties
    And that they should be in bed asleep by nine
    
    The babysitter came in
    Then and we kissed the kids goodbye
    And told them that we'd be home soon
    And told them not to cry
    
    Then we left for the party, like we'd so often done
    Thinkin' only of ourselves,and not our little ones
    The party started out wild
    And it grew wilder, as the night wore on
    With drinking, laughing, telling dirty jokes
    Nobody thinkin' of home
    
    Then the strangest feeling came over me
    And it chilled me to the bones
    And I told my wife that we'd better leave the party
    Cause I felt that we were needed at home
    
    As we rode along, I got to thinking
    Of how the kids that mornin' had asked
    If we would take them to church the next day
    And how I'd put 'em off, like I'd so often done
    By sayin', we'd probably get home too late
    
    Then, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of sirens
    As they cut through the still night air
    Then we turned down our street
    That's when we saw the fire
    The rest was like a nightmare
    
    We took their little bodies to church the next day
    Though we'd left the party early
    We still got home too late
  12. I Can

Always, Always (1969)

  1. Milwaukee, Here I Come

    Lyrics: Milwaukee, Here I Come

    I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
    I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
    Which one you want the most, them Opry stars or me
    Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
    
    Milwaukee, is a where we were, before we came here
    Workin' in a brewery, making the finest beer
    You come to me on a payday night, said, "Let's go to Tennessee"
    So, we came down to Nashville, to the Grand Ole Opery
    
    Well, we were watchin' TV, Porter Wagoner, was singin' loud
    I said, "That's the man for me", I love him, there's no doubt
    I'm leavin' now, see if I can find out where he's at
    An' if I can't get him, I'll settle for that bluegrass, Lester Flatt
    
    Oh, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
    I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
    Which one you want the most, me or Wilma Lee
    Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
    
    I'm a goin' now, and trade my ol' Ford for an Olds'
    Honey, I might get all drunked up, and trade it for a Rolls
    But there's one thing I know for sure, I'll always be blue
    There ain't no way, to get drunk enough, to stop lovin' you
    
    So, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
    I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
    Which one you want the most, me or Jerry Reed
    Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
    
    Oh, Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
  2. Yours Love

    Lyrics: Yours Love

    May the fruit of my toil, be yours, love
    May the food from my soil, be yours, love
    And from this moment on, may a love that is strong
    That lives on and on, be yours, love
    
    May the sons that I raise, be yours, love
    May the comforts I praise be yours, love
    If I ever get weak, may the love words I speak
    And the arms that I seek, be yours, love
    
    May the Lord's shining grace, be yours, love
    May the happiest face, be yours, love
    May the last fingertips, that touch these two lips
    As life from me slips, be yours, love
    
    And from this moment on, may a love that is strong
    That lives on and on, be yours, love
  3. I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby

    Lyrics: I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby

    Last night, my tears, they were falling
    I went to bed so sad and blue
    Then, I had a dream of you
    
    I dreamed I was strolling in the evening
    Underneath the harvest moon
    I was thinking about you
    
    And then you met me in the moonlight
    The stars were shining in your eyes
    But another was there too
    
    "I don't believe you've met my baby"
    You looked at her, you looked at me
    I wondered who you were talking to
    
    I shook the hand of your stranger
    But I was shaking more inside
    'Cause I was still wondering who
    
    Your arm was resting on her shoulder
    You smiled at her, she smiled at you
    Her eyes were filled with victory
    
    She said, "My brother wants to marry"
    And then my heart was filled with ease
    I knew that you would marry me
    
    Oh, I don't believe you've met my baby
    You looked at her, you looked at me
    I knew that you would marry me
    
    I don't believe you've met my baby
  4. Malena

    Lyrics: Malena

    (Dolly Parton)
    
    (A wish that Malena had wings.)
    
    Malena for hours would run in the meadow
    Well Malena would go to play every day
    She chased butterflies and she'd say with the smile
    If I had wings I could fly that away.
    
    Malena would cry when we try to explain
    That little girl's world's supposed to have wings
    That only in heaven can little girls fly
    We'd see a strange look in Malena's eyes.
    
    (A wish that Malena had wings.)
    
    We'll always remember Malena's last birthday
    Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string
    And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles
    A wish that Malena had wings.
    
    And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena
    The wish that she made we could not satisfy
    But on the night of her birthday the angels fullfilled it
    They gave her wings and now Malena can fly.
    
    Malena has wings and Malena can fly
    On the wings of an angel in heaven on high
    From the time she could talk her wish was the same
    A wish that Malena had wings.
    
    (A wish that Malena had wings...)
  5. House Where Love Lives

    Lyrics: House Where Love Lives

    A squeaky gate, a welcome mat
    A big shaggy dog, that lives out back
    And some might even call it a shack
    But this is a house, where love lives
    
    The paint is peelin' off of the siles
    The mailbox is full of bills
    And it's no mansion on the hill
    But this is a house, where love lives
    
    There's a little boy, who looks just you
    With freckles on his nose, and eyes of blue
    A little girl, almost two
    And everybody says, she looks just like you
    
    So, thank you dear, for loving me
    Though I know rich, we'll never be
    But that doesn't matter to you and me
    'Cause, we live in a house, where love lives
    
    So, thank you dear, for loving me
    Though I know rich, we'll never be
    But that doesn't matter to you and me
    'Cause we live in a house, where love lives
    
    We live in a house, where love lives
  6. Why Don’t You Haul Off & Love Me
  7. Always, Always

    Lyrics: Always, Always

    Darling, will your love be mine forever? (Always always)
    Will you keep those vows we made together? (Always always)
    Will your love be as strong?
    If my dreams should all go wrong always? (Always always)
    
    Darling, will you stay with me forever? (Always always)
    Will your love remain, through stormy weather? (Always always)
    Will your love be strong enough?
    To walk the roads, that might get rough always? (Always always)
    
    In return for your love
    I'll be true as stars above always (Always always)
    And the love that I feel
    Will forever be so real always (Always always)
  8. There Never Was a Time

    Lyrics: There Never Was a Time

    There was a time we'd sit in the backyard
    'Cause the house would get so hot
    From the summer sun, there was no way of sleepin'
    And you'd play your old guitar
    We'd fight mosquitos and enjoyed your backyard concerts
    For we had no television
    
    We'd just begun our life as man and wife and hardships then
    Could scarcely scare us into quittin'
    Things were far from bein' fine
    We often dined upon a dime
    But there never was a time we didn't love
    
    That Christmas brought our saddest day
    When your pride gave way, as you told the kids
    There'd be no gifts, 'cause we were broke
    Though their little tears of grief
    Were so hard to see, It didn't hurt me
    Like the lump I knew was in your throat
    
    It was then with arms entwined
    We both broke down and cried
    For it seemed like nothing good would ever come
    The doctor bills we couldn't pay
    They came and took our car away
    But there never was a time we didn't love
    
    Now there's an easy chair for my back
    A satin pillow for your head
    And the kids are wild about the brand new car
    You and I can order steak
    With all the trimmings and not worry
    If we spend a dollar more than we can spare
    
    No wonder, in our prayers
    We've thanked the man upstairs, who led us
    Through the years of rearin' kids and payin' bills
    And I think He guided us, not because we were smart
    But just because, there never was a time we didn't love
    
    No, there never was a time never was a time
    Never was a time
    Never was a time we didn't love
  9. Good as Gold

    Lyrics: Good as Gold

    I'll agree that we may never own a mansion
    And the furniture in our house might be old
    But we've got something
    That's worth so much more than money
    We've got each other and that's as good as gold
    
    Of course we dream of all the things enjoyed by others
    And we've married without even wedding rings
    Yet, they envy us so often, we've been told
    We've got each other and that's as good as gold
    
    I'd love to rush into the house and tell you
    That we've got oil in our backyard, so I been told
    But in a way I'm glad we've not
    We're so much richer, with what we've got
    We've got each other and that's as good as gold
    
    Of course, we dream of all the things enjoyed by others
    And we've married, without even wedding rings
    Yet, they envy us so often, we've been told
    We've got each other, and that's as good as gold
  10. My Hands Are Tied

    Lyrics: My Hands Are Tied

    To be with you, is what I want more than anything
    But I must share my life, with the one who wears my ring
    And there are tiny faces, I look into each night
    I love you, but my hands are tied
    
    I know how much they need you, and dear, I understand
    I know you'll never leave 'em, 'cause you're not that kind of man
    But I can't control my feelings, though heaven knows I tried
    And I love you, but my hands are tied
    
    My hands are tied, and I can't break the ties that bind
    I love you more than life, but you never will be mine
    I know how much you want me, I can see it in your eyes
    And I love you, but my hands are tied
    
    My hands are tied, and I can't break the ties that bind
    I love you more than life, but you never will be mine
    I know how much you want me, I can see it in your eyes
    And I love you, but my hands are tied
    
    Yes, I love you, but my hands are tied
  11. No Reason to Hurry Home

    Lyrics: No Reason to Hurry Home

    There is no love and there is no hate
    There is no feeling at all
    I look at you and you look, at me
    But we might as well, stare at the wall
    'Cause you don't see me, and I don't see you
    Just the shadow of love, that is gone
    
    There is no love and there is no hate
    No reason to hurry home
    There's no tiny hands, to reach out to us
    No plans bein' made anymore
    
    We have no tomorrow, our future is gone
    There is only sadness in store
    We don't care enough. to even ask questions
    And when we're together, we still feel alone
    
    There is no love, and there is no hate
    No reason to hurry home
    There is nothing to look forward to
    No reason to hurry home
  12. Anything’s Better Than Nothing

    Lyrics: Anything’s Better Than Nothing

    Friends ask, how I'll get along without you
    They say, it's so sad we're apart
    I'll have to agree, that I don't seem like me
    I'm having a ball, with my heart
    
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, not too much to lose
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, what I have with you
    
    I've got to admit, that it hurts me
    I don't like to fight, or to fuss
    But now, you and me, are just happy we're free
    And everyone's crying but us
    
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, not too much to lose
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, what I have with you
    
    It really must be disappointing
    To see love and dreams, turn to smoke
    I can't blame my friends, when the teardrops begin
    I once thought that love, made a home
    
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, not too much to lose
    Anything's, better than nothing
    Nothing's, what I have with you
    
    Nothing's, what I have with you

Porter Wayne and Dolly Rebecca (1970)

  1. Forty Miles From Poplar Bluff

    Lyrics: Forty Miles From Poplar Bluff

    I've never had a pair of shoes that weren't all hand-me-downs
    And daddy's morning coffee came from ol' left over ground
    My mama wore no jewelry or any storebought stuff
    And home was on a hillside forty miles from Poplar Bluff
    
    Forty miles back in Missouri there's a different way of life
    Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
    Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
    But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Poplar Bluff
    
    Our only family treasure was a beatup radio
    But it took us to the places where we knew we'd never go
    We never had much money but we always had enough
    Cause money never mattered much forty miles from Poplar Bluff
    
    Forty miles back in Missouri...
    
    Well nearly every winter when the snow is on the ground
    And the roads would all be closed and we couldn't get to town
    But if daddy had his tabaccer grandma had her snuff
    Then the winters didn't seem so long forty miles from Poplar Bluff
    
    Forty miles back in Missoury...
    Forty miles from Poplar Bluff
  2. Tomorrow Is Forever

    Lyrics: Tomorrow Is Forever

    Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterday
    And walk with me into the future of tomorrow
    Yesterday must be forgot no looking back no matter what
    There's nothing there but mem'ries that bring sorrow
    Yesterday is gone gone but tomorrow is forever
    
    No more crying tears leave tracks and mem'ries find their way back
    Tomorrow's waking let's journey there together
    Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
    
    I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today
    Yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting
    We must forget the passing time my love for you is the real kind
    The kind that won't hurt you no never
    Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
    Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
  3. Just Someone I Used to Know

    Lyrics: Just Someone I Used to Know

    There's a picture that I carried
    One we made sometime ago
    When they ask who's in the picture with me?
    I say just someone I used to know.
    Just someone I used to spend some time with.
    Just a friend from long ago.
  4. Each Season Changes You

    Lyrics: Each Season Changes You

    Like the weather your heart changes with each season
    Springtime summer fall and winter too
    Though I know I'll never understand the reason
    I still wonder why each season changes you
    
    It was springtime when I found you like the flowers
    And our love grew warmer with the summer sun
    In the fall I could see our love was changing
    It broke my heart to see what wintertime had done
    
    Like the weather your heart changes with each season
    Springtime summer fall and winter too
    Though I know I'll never understand the reason
    I still wonder why each season changes you
    
    Came the spring again you said that you were sorry
    And the summer brought a golden memory
    In the fall I saw your love was changing
    And the winter brought the same old misery
    
    Like the weather your heart changes with each season
    Springtime summer fall and winter too
    Though I know I'll never understand the reason
    I still wonder why each season changes you
  5. We Can’t Let This Happen to Us

    Lyrics: We Can’t Let This Happen to Us

    Lately we're acting as if we were strangers
    For a moment with each other we don't take time
    With our work and busy schedules of things we think important
    Seems we've left the most important things behind
    And we can't let this happen to us
    the hills that we climb may seem rough
    And the mountains between could shadow our dreams
    And we can't let this happen to us
    We can't let this happen to us we
    must cherish each smile and tender touch
    For the castles we've built could all crumble to dust
    And we can't let this happen to us no we can't let this happen to us
  6. Mendy Never Sleeps

    Lyrics: Mendy Never Sleeps

    Mendy is sixteen and uncontrolable Mendy is only a child
    Mendy is in with the in-crowd Mendy is ever so wild
    Mendy's hair hangs straight and long Mendy feels this is a must
    Mini skirts and many friends and many heartaches for us
    Mendy finds a plenty to do but Mendy never sleeps
    Mendy slips out of the house in the evening when the sun is sinkin'
    Mendy is out with the in-crowd Mendy is smokin' and drinkin'
    There's a different shine in Mendy's
    Eyes and the color is gone from her cheeks
    Mendy is a swinger but Mendy never sleeps
    Mendy never sleeps and Mendy is growing weak
    Mendy lies lifeless and limpid are her
    Eyes now oh Mendy please don't go to sleep
  7. Silver Sandals

    Lyrics: Silver Sandals

    In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
    And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
    She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
    In silver sandals walking through our minds
    
    So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday
    To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played
    She walks with us in memories we see her all the time
    In silver sandals walking through our minds
    
    The grave in which she sleeps is cold but our thoughts of her are warm
    And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms
    Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet
    With silver sandals on her little feet
    
    In silver sandals she goes walking...
    
    She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
    And it would break our hearts when she'd ask us why she couldn't walk
    She'd say when I go to heaven can I change my crutches then
    For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end
    
    In silver sandals she goes walking...
    In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
  8. No Love Left

    Lyrics: No Love Left

    There's no love left our love's beyond help
    Why do we keep on tryin' when there's no love left
    
    The feeling we felt for each other
    For a long time now has been dying
    We'd both be better off without each other
    We can't bring it back to life why do we keep trying
    
    There's no love left...
    
    When love is gone it's gone and you can't bring it back
    When the warm sun goes down it turns cold
    We both might as well just accept the fact
    There's nothing warm left for us to hold
    
    There's no love left...
    There's no love left...
  9. It Might as Well Be Me

    Lyrics: It Might as Well Be Me

    I'm lookin' for a way to get out there's no hope for you and me
    We'll never get along everything we do is wrong
    You and I both know one of us has to go and it might as well be me
    We stopped loving a long time ago and now all we do is disagree
    There's no use to pretend there's no need to try again
    You and I both know one of us has to go and it might as well be me
    There's no use for us to live a lie
    When we're just wasting the best years of our lives
    We'll never get along everything we do is wrong
    You and I both know one of us has to go and it might as well be me
    You and I both know one of us has to go and it might as well be me
  10. Run That by Me One More Time

    Lyrics: Run That by Me One More Time

    Run that by me one more time
    To make sure that I heard you right
    I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
    I might be crazy, but I aint not dumb
    And I know a lie when I hear one
    Would you run that by me one more time?
    
    Well, you're late again, I see
    What's your excuse this time?
    But don't you try to kiss and make up
    When you smell so strong from wine
    
    Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
    You need to wind Big Ben
    And honey, that's not wine you smell
    That's aftershave for men
    
    Run that by me one more time
    To make sure that I heard you right
    I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
    I might be crazy, but I aint not dumb
    And I know a lie when I hear one
    Would you run that by me one more time?
    
    What happened to the money
    I gave you to pay the rent?
    Well the rent is overdue
    And we haven't got one red cent
    
    Well I put it in the cookie jar
    You know what?
    Day you brought it home
    One day when I came back from Sevier
    I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
    Would you run that by me one more time?
    
    Run that by me one more time
    To make sure that I heard you right
    I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
    I might be crazy, but I aint not dumb
    And I know a lie when I hear one
    Would you run that by me one more time?
  11. I’m Wasting Your Time and You’re Wasting Mine

    Lyrics: I’m Wasting Your Time and You’re Wasting Mine

    There's nothing left to tie us to each other anymore
    The love we knew is gone and that's a fact we can't ignore
    There's nothing left but loose ends on all the ties that bind
    I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
    There's no use in wasting the good years that we have left
    When we might find happiness with somebody else
    There's no chance for us we can see it we're not blind
    I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
    The blame belongs to both of us I guess we didn't try
    Love is like a garden, lack of care will let it die
    The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
    I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
    The blame belongs to both of us I guess we didn't try
    Love is like a garden, lack of care will let it die
    The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
    I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
    Though it hurts we know we must leave it all behind
    I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
    You're wasting mine you're wasting mine

  2. The Right Combination

    Lyrics: The Right Combination

    I believe we have the right combination
    Our love and happiness both seem so strong
    I believe we have a firm foundation
    That our love can build and last forever on
    
    There'll be times when you may doubt my reasons
    But I know your love will always make a way
    And I know that there'll be times
    When we'll have heartaches
    But it won't worry us cause love is just that way
    
    I believe we have the right combination
    Our love and happiness both seem so strong
    I believe we have a firm foundation
    That our love can build and last forever on
    
    Some folks spend a lifetime searching for the right one
    And they'll grasp at anyone of love's sensations
    But you and I will search the most for we have found (yes we have honey)
    You and I have found the right combination
    
    I believe we have the right combination
    Our love and happiness both seem so strong
    I believe we have a firm foundation
    That our love can build and last forever on

  4. In Each Love Some Pain Must Fall

    Lyrics: In Each Love Some Pain Must Fall

    Darling, it's not really over, it just seems to be
    Darling, I don't really think that we want to be free
    A raging storm of anger made us want to end it all
    Darling, don't you know in each love some pain must fall?
    
    These tiny drops of pain that's fallen down our face
    Tomorrow will be gone almost without a trace
    It's hurtin' now but soon we'll find it doesn't hurt at all
    Darling, don't you know in each love some pain must fall?
    
    In each love some pain must fall, that doesn't mean that it's the end
    When the anger is all gone, everything will be alright again
    And the hurt that seems so big now tomorrow will seem small
    Darling, don't you know in each love some pain must fall?
    
    In each love some pain must fall, that doesn't mean that it's the end
    When the anger is all gone everything will be alright again
    And the hurt that seems so big now tomorrow will seem small
    Darling, don't you know in each love some pain must fall?
    Darling, don't you know in each love some pain must fall?
  5. Her and the Car and the Mobile Home

    Lyrics: Her and the Car and the Mobile Home

    Well, my wife and I were happy in our trailer
    But she didn't dig my runnin' around all night
    Well I warned you a couple o' times of leavin'
    Oh, but you just laughed and took it kinda light
    Well I should've paid attention to her warnin'
    When she told me she'd leave if I didn't change
    'Cause when I come home about sunup this mornin'
    Well I detected somethin' mighty strange
    
    PORTER: Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys
    DOLLY: I was takin' off while you was a-carryin' on
    PORTER: Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot
    DOLLY: Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home's gone
    PORTER: Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
    
    DOLLY: Umm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
    
    Well the neighbours all around me were a-laughin'
    And it made me feel about ten inches tall
    Ha-ha, I knew you didn't think that I'd really leave you
    Uh, not to mention takin' home and all
    Why, talk about somebody bewildered
    I bet you didn't know what to do, nor where to go
    I found little consolation in my wardrobe
    That you left scattered on the patio
    
    PORTER: Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys
    DOLLY: I was takin' off while you was a-carryin' on
    PORTER: Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot
    DOLLY: Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home's gone, gone
    PORTER: Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
    
    DOLLY: Umm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
    
    PORTER (Spoken): Yeah, they was gone with everything else,
    Except a few old western suits she'd left scattered there
    On the patio. And they had mud on 'em where she'd stomped
    Around on 'em. Footstepped on them wagon wheels, busted the
    Spokes out. You know that real nice lavender suit, the one
    That she said I looked good in, looked like Tom Jones...
    That's it hangin' over in that tree. She took that piece of
    Chalk wrote across the front of the coat, "Have a good time,
    Darling! You know when you're hot, you're hot"
  6. Burning the Midnight Oil

    Lyrics: Burning the Midnight Oil

    Here we sit lookin' at each other
    Seems we're at a loss of what to say
    Ties bind us both too someone else
    We don't want to hurt but we must break away
    
    And tonight I'll sit home a' thinkin'
    And tonight I'll sit home a' drinkin'
    We both live in separate homes
    Where there's no love at all
    Stayin' up late, burnin' the midnight oil
    
    Tomorrow, we'll meet here in this same place
    With love and desire that just won't wait
    In each others' arms we'll dream for a little while
    Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild
    
    And tonight again I'll sit home a' thinkin'
    And tonight again I'll sit home a' drinkin'
    We both live in separate homes
    Where there's no love at all
    Stayin' up late, burnin' the midnight oil
  7. Somewhere Along the Way

    Lyrics: Somewhere Along the Way

    Somewhere along the way, we drifted apart
    As we walked the road of love, we lost our way
    Now it's too late to start all over, for there's no turning back
    We lost each other somewhere along the way
    
    Somewhere along the way, we neglected one another
    Our careless steps have led us to the end
    All in all we can do now is just feel sorry for each other
    'Cause once love has died, it won't ever live again
    
    Somewhere along the way, we stumbled and we failed
    Love is not a game for fools to play
    We both played and we both lost
    Now we're both sorry and both at fault
    We lost at love somewhere along the way, mm
  8. On and On
  9. Through Thick and Thin

    Lyrics: Through Thick and Thin

    The road of love is steep, it's a hard climb all the way
    To stay in love we must keep working at it every day
    We had our ups and downs, but we take it with a grin
    'Cause we promised to stick together through thick and thin
    We don't always see eye to eye and we don't always agree
    But every day we both try to make each other happy
    And if we have a quarrel, well we just kiss and try it again
    'Cause we promised to stick together through thick and thin
    We promised to stick together, that's what we're gonna do
    We won't let our love grow old, we're gonna keep it new
    Hard times may hit us, may be just around the bend
    But we promised to stick together through thick and thin
  10. The Fog Has Lifted

    Lyrics: The Fog Has Lifted

    I can see the sunshine again
    And I can see the blue sky where there once was fog and rain
    We know each other now clear through and through
    The fog has lifted between me and you
    
    I loved you the first time I saw you
    For it seemed like I had known you all my life
    Well, I loved you too, but it takes a long time
    To know what hurts you, what helps
    You and know how you feel deep inside
    
    I'm so happy we found out before it was too late
    Our beautiful love could have turned into hate
    Forgiving and understanding gives us a clear view
    The fog has lifted between me and you
    
    Now there's the sunshine again
    And there's the blue sky where there once was fog and rain
    We know each other now clear through and through
    The fog has lifted, what a beautiful view

Heartbreak Express (1982)

  1. Single Women

    Lyrics: Single Women

    Single bars and single women
    With a single thought in mind
    Just to make it 'till the morning
    Looking for what they can find
    
    For a man they won't remember
    For a night they can't forget
    Do you come to this place often?
    May I light your cigarette?
    
    Drinkin' beer in Amarillo
    Passing time and swaping jokes
    Hoping for a new beginning
    But beginning to lose hope
    
    And you're waiting for that moment
    When a glance becomes a stare
    Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?
    Haven't I met you somewhere?
    
    Find a matchbook in the morning
    With a name and number scrawled
    When you phone, a woman answers
    And you wish you'd never called
    
    Oh, they're friendly when they meet you
    But they're strangers when they go
    Ahh, do you mind if I come join you?
    Would you like to dance one more?
    
    And it's gettin' near to closing
    And the seconds pass like years
    Lots of friends to share the laughter
    Not a one to share the tears
    
    Oh, and you wish they'd change that jukebox
    Cause you know every song it plays
    Can I drop you off at my place?
    Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?
    
    You gotta twenty in your pocket
    Got your toothbrush in your purse
    Life could get a whole lot better
    But it better not get worse
    
    Single bars and single women
    With a single thought in mind
    Just to make it 'till the morning
    Looking for what they can find.

Honky Tonk Angels (1993)

  1. It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

    Lyrics: It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

    As I sit here tonight, the jukebox's playing
    The tune about the wild side of life
    As I listen to the words you are saying
    It brings memories when I was a trusting wife
    
    It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
    As you wrote in the words of your song
    Too many times married men think they're still single
    That has caused many a-good girl to go wrong
    
    It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
    It's not true that only you men feel the same
    From the start, most every heart that's ever broken
    Was because there always was a man to blame
    
    It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
    Like you said in the words of your song
    Too many times married men think they're still single
    That has caused many young, good girl to go wrong
    That has caused many young, good girl to go wrong
  2. Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Lyrics: Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You say our love is over
    That you have found another
    You say you're going away
    
    But leave me tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You've hurt me enough today
    I can't believe the words you say
    But I must accept the fact
    You won't be coming back
    
    Oh stay
    Stay just one more day
    Loneliness isn't far away
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today

    Lyrics: Please Help Me I’m Falling (in Love with You)

    Please help me, I'm falling
    In love with you
    Close the door to temptation
    Don't let me walk through
    
    Turn away from me, darling
    I'm begging you to
    Please help me, I'm falling
    In love with you
    
    I belong to another
    Whose arms have grown cold
    But I've promised forever
    To have and to hold
    
    I can never be free, dear
    But when I'm with you
    I know that I'm losing
    The will to be true
    
    Please help me, I'm falling
    In love with you
    Close the door to temptation
    Don't let me walk through
    
    'Cause I shouldn't love you
    But darlin', I do
    Please help me, I'm falling
    In love with you
  5. Sittin’ on the Front Porch Swing

    Lyrics: Sittin’ on the Front Porch Swing

    I remember a time when the bloom was on the cotton
    When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing
    When our cares which were already few were soon forgotten
    Just sittin' on the front porch swing
    
    Oh we'd sit every Sunday, and watch the married ladies
    And we'd dream of white dresses and church bells in the spring
    And they'd talk and paint their nails
    While they'd let us hold their babies
    Sittin' on the front porch swing
    
    Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies?
    Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring?
    Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their babies?
    Sittin' on the front porch swing
    
    When the mind longs to follow but the memory erases
    And the lips form the words but the heart no longer sings
    When the leaves in the hollow have been dyed to match our faces
    Sittin' on the front porch swing
    
    Oh we'll dream of the time when the bloom was on the cotton
    When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing
    But the words to the rhyme are not the only thing forgotten
    Sittin' on the front porch swing
    Sittin' on the front porch swing
  6. Wings of a Dove

    Lyrics: Wings of a Dove

    When troubles surround us, when evils come
    The body grows weak
    And the spirit grows numb
    When these things beset us, God doesn't forget us
    He sends us His love
    On the wings of a dove
    
    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure, sweet love
    A sign from above
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
    
    When Jesus went down to the river that day
    Well, he was baptised in the usual way
    And when it was done
    God blessed His son
    He sent him His love
    On the wings of a dove
    
    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure, sweet love
    A sign from above
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
    
    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure sweet love
    A sign from above
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
  7. I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know

    Lyrics: I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know

    I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
    You think you know the smile on his lips
    The thrill of his touch of his fingertips
    But I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
    
    You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
    In each weak caress, in each tender kiss
    Oh, but I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
    
    You stole his love from me one day
    You didn't care how much you hurt me
    But you'll never steal away
    The memories of what used to be
    
    You think that he's yours to have and to hold
    Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
    But I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
    
    Yes I've forgot more than you'll ever know about him
  8. Wouldn’t It Be Great
  9. That’s the Way It Could Have Been

    Lyrics: That’s the Way It Could Have Been

    I was so excited when you asked if I could go
    But mom said I'd have to ask my daddy
    I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
    But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready."
    In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me
    And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
    With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
    You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
    
    That's the way it could have been
    
    Oh, that's the way it should have been
    If I had met you way back then
    That's the way it would have been
    
    I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
    And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
    Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
    Life for us was filled with lots of dreams
    
    We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
    And two young people finally settled in
    And you just won't believe the little children running 'round
    And they pick yellow daisies now and then
    
    And that's the way it could have been
    Oh, that's the way it should have been
    If I had met you way back then
    That's the way it would have been
    
    That's the way it could have been
  10. Let Her Fly

    Lyrics: Let Her Fly

    There's a wreath on the door, she don't live here no more
    As of today, she flew home
    And we've all gathered here in sorrow and tears
    It won't be the same with her gone
    
    There's a place on the hill that's peaceful and still
    Where she'll sleep beside daddy again
    The old family tree is shedding its leaves
    But we'll all meet in heaven again
    
    Oh, she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
    She's gone home to glory, to her home in the sky
    When God sees her coming, heaven's choir will smile
    And sing, "Oh, she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
    Oh, she's an angel, let her fly"
    
    She used to rock me when I was a child
    Sing "Rock of ages" and "In the sweet by and by"
    Her life wasn't easy, oh, but how hard she tried
    You know she's an angel, Lord, so let her fly
    
    Oh, she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
    She's gone home to glory, to her home in the sky
    When God sees her coming, heaven's choir will smile
    And sing, "Oh she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
    Oh, she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly"
    Oh, she's an angel, let her fly
  11. Lovesick Blues

    Lyrics: Lovesick Blues

    That's a-what you looking so down about?
    
    Got a feeling 'cause I'm blue
    Oh, Lord, since my daddy said goodbye
    I don't know what I'm going to do
    All I do is sit and cry
    Oh, Lord, that life-long day he said goodbye
    Oh, Lord, I thought I would die
    He'll do ya, he'll do me
    He's got that kind of lovin'
    And, Lord, I love to hear him when he calls me "sweet baby"
    
    What a beautiful ring
    I hate to think it all over
    I lost my heart it seems
    I've grown so used to that man somehow
    That I know 'body should be better than that
    'Cause I'm lonesome
    I've got the lovesick blues
    
    Now I'm in love
    I'm in love with a wonderful guy
    That's what's a' matter with me
    When I'm in love
    I'm in love with a wonderful guy
    But he don't care about me
    
    When I tried and tried to keep you satisfied
    But he just wouldn't stay
    But now that he is leavin'
    This is all I've got to say
    
    I've got a feeling 'cause I'm blue
    Oh, Lord, since my daddy said goodbye
    I don't know what I'm going to do
    I lost my heart it seems
    I have grown so used to that man somehow
    And I know 'body should be better than that
    'Cause I'm lonesome
    I've got the lovesick blues
    
    (Oh, come on, Hefty, let's play one!)
    (Good Lord, that's Sole Kramer! He's older than we are!)
    
    I have grown so used to that man somehow
    And I know 'body should be better than that
    But I'm lonesome
    I've got the lovesick blues
  12. I Dreamed of a Hillbilly Heaven

    Lyrics: I Dreamed of a Hillbilly Heaven

    I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
    Oh, what a beautiful sight
    And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
    Oh, what a star-spangled night
    
    Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
    
    Just as I arrived, the old curtain lifted
    And there on stage stood who else but Roy Acuff and Tex Ritter
    They said, "Well, how you doing? Come on in here
    I know there's some folks you wanna see
    
    Over there's our newest member, your old friend Conway Twitty
    
    Say hello, darling
    And there's Gentleman Jim Reeves singing with heaven's choir
    Roger Miller, he just got here, he's making everybody laugh
    Of course you know Roy Orbison can sing just as high as anybody here
    And Ernest Tubb can sing as low
    
    And Patsy Cline, well, bet she's the best singing angel here
    And Dottie West is probably the prettiest
    There's the old pea picker Ernie Ford, Jimmie Rodgers, George Morgan
    Hank Williams and the wondering boy Webb Pierce
    The old honky tonker himself Lefty Frizzell
    My goodness, what a group
    
    And would you just listen to Mother Maybelle over there
    Picking the Wildwood Flower with the angel band
    
    You know, I personally think she's just about God's favorite
    
    And Marty Robbins, well, he's still getting more encores
    Than anybody else up here just like he used to down on Earth
    
    Yeah, well, there's Elvis, they still call him the King
    But we know they're not talking about the real King up here
    
    I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
    Oh, what a star-studded night
    
    Then I asked Roy and Tex, I said
    "Well, who do you think might be showing up
    Say within the next forty, fifty, sixty years?"
    They handed me a big tally book and in it I saw names
    Like Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard
    Don Gibson, Mel Tillis, Faron Young, Kitty Wells
    Some of the newer ones like Vince Gill and Garth Brooks
    Of course they talked about Minnie Pearl, the Judge
    Tanya Tucker, Reba McEntire, Hank Jr
    
    Oh, of course Buck Owens, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry
    Randy Travis and Willie Nelson, there's old Chet
    
    I said, "Well, where's Porter Wagoner's name?"
    Oh, there it is
    And then there was Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton
    
    That's when I woke up
    
    I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
    Oh, what a beautiful sight
    And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
    Oh, what a star-spangled night

  2. Christmas Is

    Lyrics: Christmas Is

    Mmm, mmm
    Ah, ah
    Mmm, mmm, mmm
    
    Christmas, is a time for caring
    Bein', at your best
    Christmas, is a time for sharing
    Knowin', you've been blessed
    
    Christmas, is a time for givin'
    Love, is made of this
    That's what Christmas is
    
    Christmas, is a joyful time
    If you're the lucky ones
    Some are blessed, with gifts and trinkets
    Others, having none
    
    Some have feasts, upon their tables
    Others, havin' crumbs
    There are the haves, and the have-nots
    And you, could be either one
    
    It's all about kindness, love, and compassion
    Better to give, than receive
    That is a true fact, but those, that don't know that
    Well, they are, the poorest indeed
    
    And I hope you remember, every December
    That bright, shining light, from above
    The promise, from God's lips
    The greatest, of all gifts
    Wrapped up, in his wonderous love, (his wonderous love)
    
    So rejoice, in his glory, (rejoice, rejoice)
    The great, Christmas story
    And to all, that you're sharing it with
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    
    You go tell it, with passion, (oh, oh, oh)
    And love everlastin', (everlasting')
    'Cause, that's what Christmas is
    
    Is a time, for caring
    Bein', at your best
    Christmas, is a time for sharing
    Knowin', you've been blessed
    
    Christmas, is a time for givin'
    Love, is made of this
    That's what Christmas is
    
    Mmm, mmm, mmm
    That's what Christmas is
  3. Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas

    Lyrics: Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas

    I want to cuddle up and cozy down with you
    Wrap myself around you
    And do what lovers do
    Ah, the snow is fallin', passion's callin'
    A glass of wine or two
    I want a cuddle up, cozy down, Christmas with you
    
    Oh, we're not goin' anywhere (no we better not)
    The storm is just too bad (oh, it's terrible)
    There's no gettin' out of here
    Old man Winter's seen to that
    So, here we sit
    The candle's lit
    And now that we're snowbound, aw
    What's to do, but love on you?
    Cuddle up and cozy down
    
    I want to cuddle up and cozy down with you (oh, my)
    Nestle up against your skin, do anything that we want to (mm)
    Makin' love, hug and touch
    And steal some kisses, too
    I want a cuddle up, cozy down, Christmas with you
    
    We could both pretend we're sorry, act so disappointed
    But to tell you the truth
    Snugglin' with you is all I ever really wanted
    Now the fire is blazin', my thoughts are racin'
    What we're gonna do (oh, baby)
    When I cuddled up and cozy down with you
    What ya say, wanna cuddle?
    Yeah, I'd love to
    
    Do-do-do-ooh

    A glass of wine or two
    I want a cuddle up, cozy down Christmas with you
    Cuddle up and cozy down in a wonderland for two
    Why don't we cuddle up and cozy down Christmas with you?
    
    Merry Christmas, Dolly
    Merry Christmas, baby
  4. Christmas on the Square

    Lyrics: Christmas on the Square

    Merry Christmas
    (Merry Christmas)
    (Merry Christmas to everyone)
    Merry Christmas
    
    Christmas on the square, everybody's there
    Laughin', singin', bells a'ringin'
    Snow is in the air
    Carolers sing, gifts exchanged
    Lovers walk in pairs
    Trees a'glow and mistletoe
    It's Christmas on the square
    
    Christmas on the square
    Catch me if you dare
    Runnin' frantic, playful antics
    Jokesters everywhere
    Streets a'light with snowball fights
    You better duck, beware
    Friends and neighbors, cuttin' capers
    Christmas on the square
    
    Together as each year
    We joyfully meet here
    To celebrate family and friends
    And we all stick together
    No matter whatever
    It's a wonderful town we live in (howdy, friends)
    
    Christmas on the square, nothing ordinare
    It's a holly, Dolly, Christmas folly
    I had to get that in there (Why not?)
    Coats and hats and such as that
    And thermal underwear (Underwear?)
    Scarves and sweaters, fur and feathers
    Christmas on the square
    
    Come on, boys
    I know you wanna play some
    Yee-haw
    (Well, swing your partner 'round and 'round)
    Aw, he's always fiddlin' around down here (what fun)
    Well, all this celebratin'
    All this music and dancing's makin' me hungry
    (Well, what ya got cookin?)
    
    There's turkey and stuffin' and cranberry muffins
    Potato and gravy and peas (yummy)
    Cakes, ham, and biscuits
    However you fix it
    You're in for a fabulous feast (let's eat)
    
    Christmas on the square, everybody's there
    Sleighs and skates and chestnuts baked
    Everybody shares (everybody)
    Dancing mimes and such good times
    I hope to see you there (see you there)
    So come on down, enjoy our town
    Christmas on the square
    
    Oh, what fun for everyone
    Christmas on the square (hey, fiddler)

  5. Circle of Love

    Lyrics: Circle of Love

    Circle of love, halo of light
    When Jesus was born on that Christmas night
    And oh, what a night that holy night was
    When Bethlehem glowed in a circle of love
    
    God sent his son, His great gift to us
    Salvation for all, He loved us that much
    We honor and praise that gift from above
    He holds all of us in a circle of love
    
    Circle of love, halo of light
    When Jesus was born on that Christmas night
    And oh, what a night that holy night was
    When Bethlehem glowed (when Bethlehem glowed)
    In a circle of love
    
    Happy birthday to You, we praise and we sing
    We celebrate You, we're so glad You came
    Happy birthday dear Jesus, let us lift You up
    How thankful we are for all of Your love
    
    So Jesus was born, wore His crown of thorns
    And He gave it all up to save all of us
    
    Circle of love, halo of light
    When Jesus was born (when Jesus was born)
    On that Christmas night (Christmas night)
    And oh, what a night that holy night was
    When Bethlehem glowed in a circle of love
    
    A circle of love
    Circle of love
  6. All I Want for Christmas Is You

    Lyrics: All I Want for Christmas Is You

    Hey, Jimmy
    I don't know how to say this without it sounding all mushy and romantic
    I kinda like mushy and romantic
    You do?
    Yeah, especially at this time of the year
    Well, woo-hoo
    Woo-hoo is right, I love you Dolly, always have, always will
    
    Aww that's so sweet
    Now, what was it you were gonna say that was so mushy and romantic an' all?
    Also, what am I gonna get you for Christmas?
    Well, all I want for Christmas is you
    Well, I was thinking the same thing too
    I have always wanted to sing a duet with you so you can go first
    Er, right after me
    I can't believe this is happening right now
    
    I don't want a lot for Christmas
    There is just one thing I need (what's that?)
    I don't care about the presents
    Underneath the Christmas tree (I see)
    I don't need to hang my stockin'
    There upon the fireplace (mhm)
    Santa Claus won't make me happy
    With a toy on Christmas day
    
    I just want you for my own
    More than you could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    All I want for Christmas is you
    You, baby
    Jimmy!
    
    I won't ask for much this Christmas
    I won't even wish for snow (no snow?)
    I just wanna keep on waitin'
    Underneath the mistletoe (kiss me)
    I won't make a list and send it
    To the North Pole for Saint Nick
    I won't even stay awake
    To hear those magic reindeer click
    
    'Cause I just want you here tonight
    Holdin' on to me so tight
    What more can I do?
    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
    Oh, I really, really want you, baby
    
    I got this
    And all the lights are shining
    So brightly everywhere
    And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
    And everyone is singing
    I hear those sleigh bells ringing
    Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
    Please bring my baby to me quickly
    
    I don't want a lot for Christmas
    This is all I'm asking for (and I)
    I just wanna see my baby
    Standing right outside my door
    
    I just want you for my own
    More than you could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
    
    I just want you, baby
    I'm gonna getcha, getcha
    I'm gonna getcha, getcha baby, baby (you got me, you got me, baby)
    All I want for Christmas is you (all I want for Chistmas, all I want)
    All I want is you, baby (you, you)
    All I want for Christmas
    All I want for Christmas is you
    
    This is the best present ever
    Oh, you sexy boy
    Merry Christmas, Dolly
  7. Comin’ Home for Christmas
  8. Christmas Where We Are

    Lyrics: Christmas Where We Are

    Hey, Billy Ray
    
    Now I don't need Central Park or snowy weather
    And I don't care if it's 98 degrees
    Just as long as we can be together
    Anywhere you are is fine by me
    
    Well now, I don't need to wrap up boxes
    Or put lights on a tree
    All I want is you right here besides me
    Your love is the only gift I need
    
    Well, I don't need tinsel and lights
    Or a tree with a star
    (All I need) All I need is to hold you tight
    No matter how near or far
    We can have Christmas where we are
    Christmas where we are
    
    You can have your Tennessee Christmas
    And your evergreens
    We can keep this spirit with us
    Wherever it may lead, oh-oh-oh-oh
    
    I can be your Silent Night
    And I'll be your Noel
    All the joy you bring to life
    Is sweeter than Silver Bells
    
    Oh, I don't need tinsel and lights
    Or a tree with a star (with a star)
    (All I need) All I need is to hold you tight
    No matter how near or far
    It don't matter, baby
    No matter how near or far
    We can have Christmas where we are (Christmas where we are)
    We can have Christmas where we are (Christmas)
    
    Oh, Merry Christmas baby
    Merry Christmas, baby
    Let's have Christmas where we are
    
    (Christmas where we are)
    (Christmas where we are)
    (Christmas where we are)
    (Christmas where we are)
    (Christmas where we are)
  9. Pretty Paper

    Lyrics: Pretty Paper

    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    Wrap your presents to your darling from you
    Pretty pencils to write, "I love you"
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    
    Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
    Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
    And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk
    Hoping that you won't pass him by
    
    Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
    You're in a hurry, my, how time flies
    And in the distance the ringing of laughter
    And in the midst of the laughter, he cries
    
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    Wrap your presents to your darling from you
    Pretty pencils (pretty pencils) to write, "I love you"
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    Wrap your presents to your darling from you
    Pretty pencils to write, "I love you"
    Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
    Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
  10. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

    Lyrics: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

    You're not gonna believe what I saw, ha
    
    I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
    Underneath the mistletoe last night
    She didn't hear me creep down the stairs to have a peep
    She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom, fast asleep
    
    Then, I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
    Underneath his beard, so snowy white
    Oh, what a laugh it would have been if daddy had only seen
    Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
    
    I saw it with my own two eyes
    Not only were they kissin'
    They were drinking milk and eating cookies together
    Now I know how to keep a secret
    'Cause I wanna stay on Santa's good side
    You don't just tell everything you know, mmm, mmm
    
    (I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus)
    (Underneath the mistletoe last night)
    She didn't hear me creep down the stairs to have a peep
    She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom, fast asleep
    But I wasn't
    
    I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
    Underneath his beard, so snowy white
    Oh, what a laugh it would have been if daddy had only seen
    Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
    
    Oh, what a laugh it would have been if daddy had only seen
    Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
    
    Don't you go telling her either, it's our secret, haha
  11. You Are My Christmas

    Lyrics: You Are My Christmas

    When I think about what Christmas means

    I mostly think of you

    You-you-you, you're my
    You-you-you, you're my

    Oh, oh, you're my Christmas
    
    All wrapped up in love and light
    My heart's a glow, my eyes as bright
    As ornaments and lights upon the tree
    Ribbons of emotions flow
    Lovin' package with a bow
    A note that says I'm yours eternally
    
    Oh, you-you-you, you're my
    You-you-you, you're my
    You-you-you, you are my Christmas

    The sweetest gift I've ever known
    Love the precious love you've shown
    And blessed to know that you're my own
    You are my Christmas
  12. Mary, Did You Know?

    Lyrics: Mary, Did You Know?

    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
    Did you know
    That your baby boy has come to make you new?
    This child that you've delivered
    Will soon deliver you
    
    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
    
    Did you know
    That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
    And when you kissed your little baby
    You've kissed the face of God
    Oh, Mary did you know? (Did you know?)
    
    The blind will see
    The deaf will hear
    The dead will live again
    The lame will leap
    The dumb will speak
    The praises of the Lamb
    
    Mary, if you knew
    How wonderful for you
    That he'd choose you to bring
    To us, the King of Kings
    Ha, God bless you Mary
    
    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
    Mary, did you know
    That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
    
    Did you know
    That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
    This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
    
    Mary did you know (Mary did you know), did you know
    He is the Lord of all creation?
    Did you know (tell me did you know), did you know
    He's the ruler of our nations?
    He walks where angels trod
    He is the son of God
    Oh Mary, did you know, did you know
    
    Your baby boy would one day walk on water?
    Did you know?

Rockstar (2023)

  1. Rockstar

    Lyrics: Rockstar

    Good, Lord, stop that noise
    Well, I have to practice
    Why in the world would anybody want to be in rock 'n' roll?
    Oh honey, she says it's her dream, it's her passion
    Ha-ha, that's passion? Give me a break
    Well, I'm gonna be in rock 'n' roll, whether you two like it or not
    I'll show them
    Rockstar
    Rockstar
    
    After school, I know the rules, do my chores in a hurry
    My radio, my records wait inside my sanctuary
    A teenage dreamer, dreaming one day I could be a star
    I close my door, turn on my amp, and plug in my guitar
    
    I'm a rockstar (rockstar)
    They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play
    Hear me play
    Rockstar (rockstar)
    I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday
    I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
    Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous
    I'll be a rockstar
    
    "Stop that god-awful music," Mama's yelling from the kitchen
    Me, I smell success along with Mama's fryin' chicken
    Dad storms in my room, unplugs my amp and starts his bitchin'
    But to their sorrow, I'll just do the same dang thing tomorrow
    
    I'm a rockstar (rockstar)
    They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play, I play
    Rockstar (rockstar)
    I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday
    I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
    Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous
    I'll be a rockstar
    
    Oh
    Oh-oh
    Oh
    
    Squalling at the top of your lungs and twangin' on that old damned guitar
    It ain't gon' get you nowhere
    Honey, you need to get out of this house, make some friends, do something ordinary
    Well, I don't wanna be ordinary
    I wanna be a (rockstar) rockstar
    
    Don't you ever give up on your dreams
    No matter how far-fetched they seem
    They may not be all that extreme
    And I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed)
    I dreamed I was a rockstar
    
    They say if you can dream it, you can have it, so just play
    Rockstar (rockstar)
    Stand before your mirror, play and sing and dream away
    If you'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
    Have 'em dancing in the aisle, you'll be famous
    You'll be a rockstar (rockstar)
    
    They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play
    Oh, yeah-yeah
    Rockstar (rockstar)
    I'm standing on the stage now and I thank God every day
    My folks dancin' in the aisle, screaming out, "Hey, that's our child"
    Jerry Reed would say, "Yeah, right," now they claim me
    They always thought I'd be a rockstar
    
    (Rockstar) Rockstar
    (Rockstar) Rockstar
    (Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a rockstar
    (Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a-, I'm gonna be a rockstar
  2. World on Fire

    Lyrics: World on Fire

    Oh-oh
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What you gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around
    
    Now, I ain't one for speaking out much
    But that don't mean I don't stay in touch
    Everybody's trippin' over this or that
    What we gonna do when we all fall flat
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What we gonna do when it all burns down?
    
    I don't know what to think about us
    When did we lose "In God we trust?"
    God Almighty, what we gonna do
    If God ain't listenin' and we're deaf too?
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What you gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around
    
    Don't get me started on politics
    Now, how are we to live in a world like this
    Greedy politicians, present and past
    They wouldn't know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass
    
    (What you gonna do?) Now tell me, what is truth?
    (What you gonna do?) Have we all lost sight
    (What you gonna do?) Of common decency?
    (What you gonna do?) Of wrong and right?
    How do we heal this great divide?
    Do we care enough to try?
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What we gonna do when it all burns down?
    
    Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife
    Janey got a sign to carry in the fight
    Marching in the streets with sticks and stones
    Don't you ever believe words don't break bones
    
    Oh, can we rise above?
    Can't we show some love?
    Do we just give up
    Or make a change?
    We know all too well
    We've all been through hell
    Time to break the spell
    In Heaven's name
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What you gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around
    
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    What you gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around
    
    (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
    (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
    
    Show some love (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Still got time to turn it all around)
    Let's rise above (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let's make a stand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let's lend a hand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Still got time to turn it all around)
    
    Let's heal the hurt (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let kindness work (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

  3. Every Breath You Take

    Lyrics: Every Breath You Take

    Mm-mm
    Mm
    
    Every breath you take, every move you make
    Every bond you break, every step you take
    I'll be watching you
    Every single day, every word you say
    Every game you play, every night you stay
    I'll be watching you
    
    Oh, can't you see you belong to me?
    How my poor heart aches
    With every step you take
    
    Every move you make, every vow you break
    Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you
    
    Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
    I dream at night, I can only see your face
    I look around, but it's you I can't replace
    I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
    I keep crying, "Baby, baby, please"
    
    Whoa
    Whoa
    Whoa
    
    Oh, can't you see you belong to me?
    How my poor heart aches
    With every step you take
    
    Every move you make, and every vow you break
    Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you
    Every move you make, every step you take
    I'll be watching you (I'll be watching you)
    I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you, watching you
    I'll be watching you
    
    Every breath you take, every move you make
    Every bond you break (you take), every step you take
    I'll be watching you
    Every single day, every word you say
    Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
    
    Every breath you take, every move you make
    Every bond you break, every step you take (every smile you make)
    Every single day
    Every word you say, every game you play (every breath you take)
    
    Every night you stay, every breath you take
    Every move you make, every amount you make (every move make)
    Every step you take, every single day
    Every word you say, every game you play (every move you make)
    Every night you stay, every breath you take
    Every move you make, every bond you break (every move)
    Every step you take, every single day (you make)
    Every word you say, every game you play
    Every breath
  4. Open Arms

    Lyrics: Open Arms

    Lying beside you
    Here in the dark
    Feeling your heartbeat with mine
    Softly you whisper
    You're so sincere
    How could our love be so blind?
    
    We sailed on together
    We drifted apart
    And here you are
    By my side
    
    So now I come to you
    With open arms
    Nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    
    So here I am
    With open arms
    Hoping you'll see
    What your love means to me
    Open arms
    
    This empty house seems so cold
    Living without you
    Living alone
    This empty house seems so cold
    Wanting to hold you
    Wanting you near
    How much I wanted you home
    
    But now that you've come back
    Turned night into day
    I (I) I need (need you) you to stay
    Please stay
    Please stay
    
    And so I come to you
    With open arms
    With nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    
    So here I am
    With open arms
    Hoping you'll see
    What your love means to me
    Open arms
    
    This empty house seems so cold
  5. Magic Man (Carl version)

    Lyrics: Magic Man (Carl version)

    Cold late night, so long ago
    When I was not so strong, you know
    A pretty man came to me
    I'd never seen eyes so blue
    
    You know I could not run away, it seemed
    We'd seen each other in a dream
    Seemed like he knew me
    He looked right through me, yeah
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "You don't have to love me yet, just get high awhile
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    I'm a magic man"
    
    Winter nights, we sang in tune
    Played inside the months of moon
    Never think of never
    Let this spell last forever
    
    Summer lover passed to fall
    Tried to realize it all
    Mama says she's worried
    You're growing up in a hurry, oh, yeah
    
    "Come on home, girl," Mama cried on the phone
    "Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    Ooh, he got magic hands
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    
    Try, oh
    Try, yeah, try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    
    Mm (magic man)
    (He's a magic man)
    
    A magic man with luring eyes, changed the course of my young life
    He was a magic man
    I was oh so quick to learn, I was caught up in the burn
    Of the magic man
    No one else could understand, unless you've loved a magic man (oh, oh)
    The way he swept me off my feet, mama's love could not compete
    A magic man is like a drug and I'm addicted to his love
    
    He is a magic man
    He got magic hands
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    Yeah, yeah, oh
  6. Long as I Can See the Light

    Lyrics: Long as I Can See the Light

    Put a candle in the window
    'Cause I feel I got to move
    Oh, I'm going, going
    I'll be coming home soon

    Yeah, well
    
    Hm-mm-mm, oh-oh

    Just saying
    Long as I can see the light
    Long as I can see the light
    Long as I can see the light
    
    Keep that light on
    Long as I can see the light

  7. Either Or

    Lyrics: Either Or

    You said you loved me, couldn't bear to live without me
    Yeah, baby, that's true
    I never gave you a cause to doubt me
    Always knew I could depend on you
    
    I ain't falling for your lies no more
    That sounds like a heartache for sure
    I won't take your cheating ways another minute
    Well, it's only been a time or two
    This love is done if you ain't completely in it
    But baby, there's nobody like you
    
    You either stay or either you go
    It's an either-or situation
    
    Either shape it up or pack it up and go now
    Oh, baby, you know that I'm trying
    Turnabout's fair play, thought you ought to know it
    Come on, baby, please don't eat me alive
    I'm giving you fair warning, baby, and I mean what I say
    
    It's either-or and that's the ultimatum
    Now, baby, let's just start all over again
    Mistakes were made, and you're the one that made us
    Sometimes you got to do some losing to win
    
    It's me or them, you take your choice
    It's an either-or situation
    
    You know I love you, so let's try to make it better (try to make it better)
    Whatever we gotta do
    You make the rules, babe, I'll follow to the letter
    Come on, take me to school, woo!
    
    It's either-or, that's the ultimatum (take me to school)
    That's how it's gonna be, huh? Come on
    Mistakes were made, hey, I ain't the one who made 'em
    Well, I ain't gonna do it no more, baby, I promise
    
    I won't take your cheating ways another minute
    It's only been a time or two (it's only been a time or two)
    This love is done if it ain't completely in it
    Now, baby, I'm all in it for you
    
    You either stay or either you go (either you go)
    I can never leave you
    It's me or them, baby, you make the choice
    This isn't either-or
    Either-or, either-or, woo!
    
    Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Please give me one more chance
    Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    I'll give you one last chance
    I think I deserve it
    Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    It's your choice
    It's either-or
    Either-or
    
    And this time, I really mean it
    I love you, baby
  8. I Want You Back

    Lyrics: I Want You Back

    Hm-mm
    
    I broke every promise that I made you
    I broke my word when I said I'd be true
    I broke your heart when I found someone new
    And broke you all to pieces when I walked out on you
    
    But now when I kiss him, I'm still tastin' you
    And when we make love, your face comes to view
    I hear somebody else, oh, he's lovin' on you
    Yeah, time is sayin' I can't take a break, I'm the world's biggest fool
    
    Now I was a fool and I want you back (I want you back)
    Yeah, I want you back (I want you back)
    Can you forgive me? Is it too much to ask?
    Oh, I was so wrong to treat you like that
    I'm fallin' apart, I broke both our hearts
    Now I want you back
    
    What can I do to make it up to you?
    The hurt and the pain that I put you through (yeah, you put me through)
    Oh, I was such a fool to ever let you go
    
    Now I want you back
    I want you back (I want you back)
    I'm lonely, love (lonely, love)
    I'm goin' down (yeah, I was [?])
    And the same love I found (yeah, yeah)
    Don't even know where he's at
    Oh, but it did make me see what you mean to me (yeah, yeah)
    And I want you back
    
    Oh, if you take me back (if I take you back)
    I promise to spend (do you promise to, promise to?)
    The rest of our lives (ooh, rest of our lives)
    Make it a mess (make it a mess)
    Oh, I'd crawl on my knees (yeah)
    Oh, yes, I'd even do that (ooh, would you do that?)
    
    I'm fallin' apart, I broke my own heart
    And I want you back
    Yeah, I know what I lost and I'm paying the cost
    And I want you back
    
    You did me wrong (I did you wrong)
    I know that, I know that
    You left me alone, yeah
    Let me come home
    You walked out on me, yeah
    Why I'd do that? Why did I do that?
    
    You asked to be free, bet you were
    But never would've been (I want you back)
    How could I trust ya?
    Oh, you can trust me, you can trust me, just trust me (I want you back)
    But you left me back then (I want you back)
    
    Oh (I want you back)
    Yeah, if you did it then (I want you back)
    Oh, no, you will, you will again (I want you back, I want you back)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back, I want you back)
    Ooh, hey, hey, yeah

    Lyrics: Baby, I Love Your Way

    Mm, mm, mm, mm
    
    Shadows grow so long before my eyes

    I can see them (yes, I see them)
    Yeah, under the pine
    
    But don't (don't) hesitate (hesitate)

    Out of season

  12. I Hate Myself for Loving You

    Lyrics: I Hate Myself for Loving You

    Hey Joan
    Don't you just hate it when you love somebody so much
    You just let 'em treat you anyway they want to
    Sure do, Dolly
    Makes me hate myself
    Yeah, and I hate it when I hate myself
    Well, you wrote a song about it
    Grab your guitar, and let me sing along with you
    Let's go, girl
    
    Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?
    You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
    I know I'm hangin', but I'm still wantin' you
    
    Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
    I turn my back, and you're messin' around
    I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
    
    I think of you every night and day
    You took my heart, and you took my pride away
    
    I hate myself for loving you (I hate myself)
    Can't break free from the the things that you do
    I wanna walk, but I run back to you
    That's why I hate myself for loving you
    
    Daylight, spent the night without you
    But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
    I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through
    
    Hey man, bet you can't treat me right
    You just don't know what you was missin' last night
    I wanna see you beggin', say, "Forget it" just for spite
    
    I think of you every night and day
    You took my heart, and you took my pride away
    
    I hate myself for loving you
    Can't break free from the the things that you do
    I wanna walk, but I run back to you
    That's why I hate myself for loving you
    
    I hate myself
    For loving you
    
    I think of you every night and day
    You took my heart, and you took my pride away
    
    I hate myself for loving you
    Can't break free from the things that you do
    I wanna walk, but I run back to you
    I hate myself for loving you
    
    I hate myself for loving you
    Can't break free from the the things that you do
    I wanna walk, but I run back to you
    That's why I hate myself for loving you
    
    I hate myself
    Why can't I turn you loose?
    For loving you
    I hate myself
    I keep runnin' back to you
    For loving you
    
    I hate myself
    Why do I keep holdin' on?
    For loving you
    I hate myself
    I hate myself, I hate myself
    I hate myself
    For loving you
  13. Night Moves

    Lyrics: Night Moves

    Mm-mm-mm
    Yeah
    Mm-mm-mm
    
    I was a little too small could've used a few pounds
    Tight skirts, points, hardly renowned
    He was a handsome devil, with mischief in his eyes
    Together we filled a void in our lives
    Ooh, it might've been wrong, but it felt so right (ooh)
    Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
    Out in the backseat of that ol' '60 Chevy (yeah)
    Workin' on mysteries without any clues, mm
    
    Just workin' on our night moves
    Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
    Workin' on our night moves
    
    In the summertime (makin' memories)
    In the sweet summertime, summertime, mm-mm
    
    We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
    We weren't searching for some pie in the sky or summit
    We were just young and restless and bored
    Living by the sword
    
    We'd steal away every chance we could
    To backrooms, alleys, or the trusty woods
    I used him and he used me
    Neither one cared we were gettin' our share
    
    Workin' on our night moves
    Tryin' to lose those awkward teenage blues
    Workin' on our night moves, mm
    Ooh, summertime (don't you remember?)
    Sweet summertime, summertime, summertime
    
    Oh, I wonder (I wonder), mm (yeah)
    Felt the lightnin', (felt the lightnin')
    Waited on the thunder
    Waited on the thunder, yeah, mm
    
    I woke last night, to the sound of thunder
    How far off I sat and wondered
    Started hummin' a song from 1962
    Ain't it funny how the night moves?
    When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
    Strange, how the night moves
    With autumn closin' in
    
    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Sweet memories (night moves)
    Oh, (oh-oh) oh, night moves (working on the night moves)
    Working and practicing (oh yeah, I remember)
    I remember you
    I'll never forget you (yeah) (night moves)
    I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember you too (night moves)
    
    Finding heaven 'neath a sky of stars (oh, those night moves)
    Remember rockin' that ol' Chevy car (mm, those night moves)
    Ooh (thinking bout your night moves)
    Skinny dippin' in a cement pond (yes, I remember) (night moves)
    Jitter Buggin' on the church house lawn (ooh, I remember) (night moves)
    Mm-mm (yeah) (working on the night moves)
    
    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, I remember you too
    Oh, I remember, I remember, I remember you
    (Yeah) yeah
  14. Wrecking Ball

    Lyrics: Wrecking Ball

    We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
    We jumped, never asking why
    We kissed, I fell under your spell
    A love no one could deny
    
    Don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always want you
    I can't live a lie running for my life
    I will always want you
    
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you wreck me
    
    I put you high up in the sky
    And now, you're not coming down
    Oh, and it slowly turned, you let me burn
    And now, we're ashes on the ground
    
    But don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always want you
    I can't live a lie, running for my life
    I will always love you
    
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
    Left me crashing in a blazing fall
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you wrecked me
    
    I never meant to start a war (I never meant to start a war)
    I just wanted you to let me in (let me in)
    And instead of using force (using force)
    I guess I should've let you win (guess I should've let you win)
    
    I never meant to start a war (never meant to start a war)
    I just wanted you to let me in (I just wanted you to let me in)
    I guess I should've let you win (guess I should've let you win)
    
    Don't you ever say I just walked away
    I will always love you
    
    I came in like a wrecking ball
    I never hit so hard in love
    All I wanted was to break your walls
    All you ever did was wreck me
    
    I came in like a, oh, like a wrecking ball
    Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
    Left me crashing in a blazing fall
    All you ever did was wreck me
    Yeah, you wreck me
    Yeah, you wreck me
    
    I will always love you
  15. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

    Lyrics: (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

    Oh
    
    I can't get no satisfaction
    I can't get no satisfaction
    But I try and I try
    And I try and I try
    
    But I can't get no
    I can't get no
    
    When I'm driving in my car
    And a man comes on the radio
    He's telling me more and more
    About some useless information
    Supposed to fire my imagination
    
    Oh, I can't get no
    No, no, no, no
    A-hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say
    
    I can't get no satisfaction
    I can't get no satisfaction
    But I try and I try
    And I try and I try
    
    But I can't get no (I can't get no)
    Oh, I can't get no (I can't get no)
    
    When I'm watchin' my TV
    And a man comes on and tells me
    How white my shirts can be
    But he's got no right to preach to me
    'Bout who I am and I'm supposed to be
    
    I can't get no
    No, no, no, no
    A-hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say
    
    Yes, I, I can't get no satisfaction, no
    And I can't get no man reaction
    I've tried, I've tried
    Yeah, I try, oh, yes, I try
    
    But I can't get no
    Oh, I can't get no (no)
    
    When I'm ridin' around annoyed
    'Cause I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
    And I'm tryin' to make some boy
    Who tells me, "Baby, better come back maybe next week
    Can't you see I'm on a losing streak?"
    
    I can't get no
    No, no, no, no
    A-hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say
    
    Hey, I can't get no (no, no)
    I can't get no (I can't get no)
    No, I can't get no (I can't get no)
    Satisfaction (satisfaction)
    No satisfaction (no, no)
    No satisfaction
    I can't get no
  16. Keep On Loving You

    Lyrics: Keep On Loving You

    You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
    There was something missing
    You should have known by the tone of my voice, maybe
    But you didn't listen
    
    You played dead
    But you never bled
    Instead, you laid still in the grass
    All coiled up and hissin'
    
    And though I know all about those women
    Still, I don't remember
    'Cause it was us, (it was us) baby, way before them (way before them)
    And we're still together (we're still together)
    
    And I meant every word I said
    When I said that I loved you
    I meant that I love you forever
    
    And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
    'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
    I don't wanna sleep, baby
    I just wanna keep on lovin' you
    Keep on lovin' you, baby
    
    I just wanna keep on lovin' you, baby
    And I meant every word I said
    When I said that I love you
    I meant that I love you forever
    Love you forever
    
    And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
    'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
    I don't wanna sleep (I don't wanna sleep)
    I just wanna keep on lovin' you
    
    Baby, I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
    I'm gonna keep on
    'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do (it's the only thing)
    I don't wanna sleep (I don't wanna sleep)
    I just wanna keep on lovin' you
  17. Heart of Glass

    Lyrics: Heart of Glass

    Once I had a love, and it was a gas
    Soon turned out had a heart of glass
    Seemed like the real thing, only to find
    Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
    
    Once I had a love, and it was divine
    Soon found out, I was losin' my mind
    Seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind
    Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
    
    In between
    What I find is pleasin', and I'm feelin' fine
    Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
    If I fear I'm losin' you, it's just no good
    You teasin' like you do
    
    Once I had a love, and it was a gas
    Soon turned out had a heart of glass
    Seemed like the real thing, only to find
    Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
    
    Lost inside
    Adorable illusion, and I cannot hide
    I'm the one you're usin', please don't push me aside
    We could've made it cruisin', yeah
    
    La-la-la
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

    Yeah, ridin' high
    On love's true bluish lie

    Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh

  18. Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me

    Lyrics: Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me

    I can't light no more of your darkness
    All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
    I'm growin' tired
    And time stands still before me
    Frozen here on the ladder of my life
    
    It's too late to save myself from falling
    I took a chance and changed your way of life
    But you misread my meanin' when I met you
    Closed the door and left me blinded by the light, oh
    
    Don't let the sun go down on me (don't let the sun)
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    Oh, but losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
    
    I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
    But see me once and see the way I feel
    Oh, don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
    But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal, oh
    
    Don't let the sun go down on me (don't let the sun)
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    Oh yeah, ooh yeah
    But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
    
    Don't let the sun, oh whoa
    Don't let the sun, no-no
    Don't let the sun go down
    
    Don't let the sun go down on me (don't let the sun)
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
    
    Oh-ooh-whoa-oh
    Don't let the sun go down on me!
  19. Tried to Rock and Roll Me

    Lyrics: Tried to Rock and Roll Me

    Yeah
    Yeah
    Oh, yeah
    
    You tried to rock and roll me
    You say you wanna show me what true romance is
    But mister, you don't know me
    'Cause I don't fall for flattery and come on's like this
    
    You think you can impress me, huh
    With sexy lines of finest wine and designer clothes
    You're trying to undress me, yeah
    With shifty roaming eyes that seem to sparkle and glow
    
    You're arrogant, conceited, and vain
    Baby, I'm not playing this game
    
    You tried to rock and roll me, yeah, yeah
    Like all the rest, I guess you think I'm on the make
    You think you can control me
    Your mesmerizing eyes are holding me in your gaze
    
    Don't want to waste time
    Pretending I believe a single word that you say
    Believe me I know your kind
    You claim the night, you strike, and then you just walk away
    
    You come in like a Hollywood star
    But I can see right through who you are
    
    You tried to rock and roll me
    But baby, I'm just looking for a good-hearted man
    The one that's gonna show me
    More than an artificial tan and love on demand
    
    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    Ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    
    Hey, Romeo, there's something you're just gonna have to accept
    You ain't all that, you just need to get over yourself
    And then maybe
    
    You can rock and roll me
    Trust me, I ain't too bad a lover myself, huh
    Maybe you can show me (show me)
    All the magic you've been saying, I've never felt
    
    I'm not gonna pretend
    I'm not impressed with your good looks 'cause, baby, you're hot
    But beauty's only skin deep
    So why don't you show me that's not all that you've got?
    
    Try to rock and roll me, yeah (oh, you try to rock and roll me)
    You try to rock and roll me, yeah, yeah, come on, come on (oh, you try to rock and roll me)
    Rock me, baby, rock me, baby, get too my soul
    Rock me, baby, rock me, let's rock and roll
    
    Come on, Dolly, let's rock
    I'm still rockin' it, Melissa
  20. Stairway to Heaven

    Lyrics: Stairway to Heaven

    There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
    And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
    When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for
    
    Ooh
    A stairway to Heaven
    
    There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
    In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
    
    Oh, oh, makes me wonder
    
    I wonder
    I really, really wonder
    
    There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
    And my spirit is crying for leaving
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
    And the voices of those who stand looking
    Ooh
    
    It's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
    And the forest will echo with laughter
    
    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
    It's just a spring clean for the May queen
    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
    There's still some time to change the road you're on
    
    Oh, it makes me wonder
    
    Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
    The piper's calling you to join him
    Oh, can you hear the wind blow?
    And did you know your stairway lies upon the whispering wind?
    
    Stairway to Heaven
    Stairway to Heaven
    
    You can't buy it, you can't borrow
    You've gotta walk it straight and narrow
    
    Stairway to Heaven
    Stairway to Heaven
    (Heaven)
    Stairway to Heaven
    
    (And as we walk on down the road)
    And as we walk on down the road
    (Our shadows longer than our souls)
    Our shadows longer than our souls
    (All that glitters is not gold)
    Know that all that glitters is not gold
    (Wanna be a rock and not a roll)
    I wanna be a rock and not a roll
    
    Oh, the great almighty dollar
    Leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
    You can't fool yourself forever
    You gotta work to get to Heaven (Heaven)
    Stairway to Heaven (Heaven)
    If we listen and hold fast (Heaven)
    To every question that we asked
    The truth will come to us at last
    And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
  21. We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You

    Lyrics: We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You

    I've paid my dues
    Time after time
    I've done my sentence
    But committed no crime
    And bad mistakes
    I've made a few
    I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
    But I've come through
    (And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
    
    We are the champions, my friends
    And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
    We are the champions
    We are the champions
    No time for losers
    'Cause we are the champions of the world
    
    I've taken my bows
    And my curtain calls
    You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
    And I thank you all
    
    But it's been no bed of roses
    No pleasure cruise
    I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
    And I ain't gonna lose
    (And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
    
    We are the champions, my friends
    And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
    We are the champions
    We are the champions
    No time for losers
    'Cause we are the champions
    
    We are the champions, my friends
    And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
    We are the champions
    We are the champions
    No time for losers
    'Cause we are the champions
    
    We will, we will rock you
    We will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
    We will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
    We are the champions
    We will, we will rock you
    Yes, we will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
    We will, we will rock you
  22. Bygones

    Lyrics: Bygones

    Can you forgive me?
    It's true I've made mistakes, but so have you
    It's just so unfair
    The way you hurt me
    Cuts so deep, I don't think I can heal
    You just leave me bare
    
    When you break a trust, it's painful
    To find the one you love's no angel
    When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too
    
    I'm sorry, so sorry
    How long must you punish me?
    Why can't we just move on?
    Let bygones, be bygones
    But you never will
    
    What's the difference
    If this time I'm the one that did the wrong?
    Should it matter?
    Makin' reference to promises made and broken, you just left
    Left me cold as stone
    
    When you break a trust, it's painful
    To find the one you love's no angel
    When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too
    
    I'm sorry, so sorry
    How long must you punish me?
    Why can't we just move on?
    Let bygones, be bygones
    But you never will
    
    (I'm sorry, so sorry)
    Full of regret
    Forgive and forget
    (I'm sorry, so sorry)
    You haven't yet
    But tell me
    Where do we go from here?
    
    I'm sorry, so sorry
    How long must you punish me?
    Why can't we just move on?
    Let bygones be bygones
    I've gotta go
    
    I'm sorry, so sorry (truly I am)
    How long must you punish me? (Just put it down)
    Why can't we just move on? (Let's turn it around)
    Let bygones, be bygones
    
    But you never
    You never
    Could you ever?
    Could you ever?
    Would you ever?
    Would you ever?
    No, you never will
  23. My Blue Tears

    Lyrics: My Blue Tears

    Fly away from my window, little bluebird
    Fly as far as you can away from here
    And let not your song fall upon my ear
    Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears
    
    For the one that I have loved
    He has left me and gone
    And I am in no mood for to hear your sad song
    
    And bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
    Waste not your warmth on the cold glisten here
    Oh, trouble me not, go ye' elsewhere
    Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears
    
    For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
    And I am in no mood for the sunshine today
    
    'Cause I don't know when or if ever again
    I will see his sweet face but I fear
    It's forever goodbye though I can't say why
    But I'll sit here and cry my lonley blue tears
    
    Go spread your blue wings
    Light your blue sky
    I'll shed my blue tears
    My blue tears
  24. What’s Up?

    Lyrics: What’s Up?

    All of these years and my life is still
    Just tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
    For a destination
    I realized quickly when I knew I should
    That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
    For whatever that means
    And so I cry sometimes when I'm lyin' in bed
    Just to get it all out, what's in my head
    And I, I'm feelin' a little peculiar
    And so I wake up in the mornin' and I step outside
    And I take a deep breath and I get real high
    And I scream at the top of my lungs, "What's goin' on?"
    And then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey, yeah, yeah"
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    Then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey, yeah, yeah"
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    And I try
    Oh my God, do I try
    I try all the time
    In this institution
    And I pray
    Oh my God, do I pray
    I pray every single day
    For a resolution
    And so I cry sometimes when I'm lyin' in bed
    Just to get it all out, what's in my head
    And I, I'm feelin' a little peculiar
    And so I wake up in the mornin' and I step outside
    And I take a deep breath and I get real high
    And I scream at the top of my lungs, "What's goin' on?"
    And then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey, yeah, yeah"
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    Then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey, yeah, yeah"
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    Then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey, yeah, yeah"
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    Then I say, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah" (Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
    "Hey, yeah, yeah" (Hey, yeah, yeah)
    I say, "Hey
    What's goin' on?"
    After all these years and my life is still
    Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
    For a destination
  25. You’re No Good

    Lyrics: You’re No Good

    Feeling better now that we're through
    Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
    I learned my lesson, it left a scar
    Now I see how you really are
    
    You're no good
    You're no good
    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good

    You're no good
    You're no good
    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    I broke a heart that's gentle and true
    I broke a heart over someone like you
    I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
    I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
    
    You're no good
    You're no good
    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    I'm gonna say it again

    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    I broke a heart that was gentle and true
    I broke a heart over someone like you
    
    I'm telling you now, baby
    And I'm going my way
    Forget about you, baby
    'Cause I'm leaving to stay
    
    You're no good
    You're no good
    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    I'm gonna say it again

    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    I'm gonna say it again
    You're no good
    You're no good
    You're no good
    Baby, you're no good
    
    I'm gonna say it again
    You're no good

    Baby, you're no good

  26. Heartbreaker

    Lyrics: Heartbreaker

    Here I sit all alone
    Thinking about what I should have known
    You made me think that I could need you
    You weaved your magic spell and I believed you
    
    Looking back on you and me
    Promises that will never be
    I truly thought that we were lovers (lovers)
    But, now I find I'm just like all the others
    
    Heartbreaker, wish I'd seen, but love was blind
    Sweet little lovemaker
    Taking my heart and leave me behind
    Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me?
    
    Played with fire, felt its burn
    I would have thought that I would have learned
    I melted every time you kissed me (kissed me)
    Each time you'd leave, I thought that you would miss me
    
    Heartbreaker, wish that I'd seen, but love is blind
    Sweet little love maker
    Taking my heart and leave me behind
    Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me?
    
    Heartbreaker, wish I'd seen, but love was blind
    Sweet little love maker
    Taking my heart and leave me behind
    Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me?
    
    Heartbreaker, wish I'd seen, but love is blind
    Sweet little love maker
    Taking my heart and leave me behind
    Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me?
  27. Bittersweet

    Lyrics: Bittersweet

    Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
    Couldn't count the countless times that we have tried
    Do we try to try again, or take defeat?
    Either way, it's bittersweet
    
    We love each other, there's no question there (no question there)
    But hate each other when we don't fight fair (we don't fight fair)
    Lately there's more hating as our world shakes 'neath our feet
    To say the least, it's bittersweet
    
    All the things we loved each other for at first we now despise
    The passion and the tenderness now fades before our eyes
    We've tested all the waters, but have we gone too deep?
    To say the least, it's bittersweet
    
    Bittersweet, bittersweet
    Separate the chaff from wheat
    Is our love now obsolete?
    Oh-oh, it's bittersweet
    There's more bitterness than sweetness
    In the words that we now speak
    Oh-oh, it's bittersweet (it's bittersweet)
    
    Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
    Oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light
    Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
    We're oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light
    
    Deep devotion (deep devotion), mixed emotion (mixed emotion)
    A painful mix, indeed (a painful mix, indeed)
    To say the least, it's bittersweet (it's bittersweet)
    Bittersweet, bittersweet
    
    Standing on the edge now, do we go or stay?
    Do we go? Do we stay?
    Will we live to regret it (will we?) if we just walk away? (If we just walk away)
    It's a painful, hard decision, but it's one that we must make, oh
    
    Oh (bittersweet)
    So bittersweet
    It's bittersweet
    Bittersweet
    Oh, oh, it's bittersweet
    Oh, oh, bittersweet (bittersweet)
    Bittersweet
    Bittersweet
  28. I Dreamed About Elvis

    Lyrics: I Dreamed About Elvis

    Last night I dreamed of Elvis, he was standing in the light
    Looking radiant and beautiful, just like he did in life
    I said, "E, it's good to see you, look so healthy and at peace"
    He said
    "You know, I-I-I'm really happy here, how's things in Tennessee?"
    Well, I told him we all missed him, that the whole world loved the King
    He said
    "You know, if things were different, I'd ask you to wear my ring"
    I said, "El, uh, can I call you El?"
    "Ah, Elvis, El, or E"
    I said, "Am I just dreamin', or were you just flirtin' with me?"
    "Uh-huh-huh"
    
    Whoa-ho, I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Dreamed about Elvis last night
    We sang "Don't Be Cruel" and "All Shook Up"
    "Heartbreak Hotel" and "That's Alright"
    "Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear" and "Blue Hawaii" too
    "Jailhouse Rock" and "Viva Las Vegas"
    "Kentucky Moon of Blue" ("Blue Moon of Kentucky") (shine on)
    
    Then he curled his lip and said
    "You know, you remind me a little of Monroe"
    "Oh," and I said, "Really? Marilyn?" And he said
    "No, Bill"
    "Bill, the King of Bluegrass?"
    "Uh-huh"
    
    I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Dreamed about Elvis last night
    Uh-huh
    I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Dreamed about Elvis last night
    Oh, oh yeah
    
    And the dream went on
    And I dreamed I said in real life, "You sang so many songs
    And I always thought I'd like to hear you sing one of my own"
    He said
    "I almost did one of yours, the one about true love
    The 'I Will Always Love You' song, but the Colonel screwed that up"
    Well, he sure did, but after all, this is my dream
    It would be a dream come true if maybe you could sing it now
    And let me sing with you, and we sang
    "I will always love you, I will always love you"
    
    I hope life (I hope life)
    Treats you kind (will treat you kind)
    And I hope (I hope)
    You have all that you've dreamed of
    I wish you joy (I wish you joy)
    And happiness (and happiness)
    But above all this, I wish you love (I wish you love)
    And I will always love you (oh), I will always love you
    Oh, then I woke up
    
    I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Dreamed about Elvis last night
    We sang "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Love me Tender"
    "Burnin' Love", "Are You Lonesome Tonight"
    Dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Dreamed about Elvis last night
    Uh-huh
    I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
    Then he faded into the light
    
    Thank you, thank you very much

    Lyrics: Free Bird

    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me?
    For I must be traveling on, now
    'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
    
    But if I stay here with you, boy
    Things just couldn't be the same
    
    'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird you cannot change
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    And this bird you cannot change
    And this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change
    
    Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah-yeah
    Though this feeling, I can't change
    But please, don't take it so badly
    'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
    
    If I stay here with you, boy
    Things just couldn't be the same
    
    'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird you cannot change
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    And the bird you cannot change
    And this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change
    Lord, help me, I can't change
    
    Lord, I can't change
    Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?
    
    Hey, won't you fly? Let me fly
    How free am I? How free am I?
    (Why am I so free?) 'Cause I'm a free bird
    Hey, hey, fly, fly
    Spread my wings and touch the sky (free bird)
    'Cause I'm a free bird, I'm a free bird (free bird)

  2. My Tennessee Mountain Home

    Lyrics: My Tennessee Mountain Home

    Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
    In a straightback chair on two legs, leaned against the wall
    Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
    And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
    
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by
    
    Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
    Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
    And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
    And a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
    
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by
    
    Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
    Just laughin', talkin', makin' future plans
    And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
    Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
    
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by

    Lyrics: Rosewood Casket

    There's a little rosewood casket
    Resting on a marble stand
    With a packet of old love letter
    
    Go and bring them to me sister
    Read them all for me tonight
    I have often try, but i couldn't
    For the tear that fills my eyes
    
    When i'm death and in my casket
    When i'm gently fall asleep
    Fall asleep to wakes in heaven
    Dearest sister to not weep
    
    Take his letter and his locket
    Place them gently on my heart
    But this golden ring that he gaves me
    From my finger never part
    
    There's a little rosewood casket resting on a marble stand
    With a packet of old letter
    
    Oooooohhoooooo
    Ooooohhhhooooo

    I just stopped by
    To see you again
    I see you have company
    So I won't come in
    Darling, you don't know
    How far we've been

  10. When Possession Gets Too Strong

    Lyrics: When Possession Gets Too Strong

    I can't live with you if you try to own me
    Though you may give me love like I have never known
    But if you try to control me then you won't never know me
    And I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
    
    So love me just for what I am don't try to change a thing
    And I'll take you just like you are and I'll expect the same
    So if you want to love me you must understand all of me
    For I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
    
    And I have no control over what I feel inside
    And I can't change the way I am and you must be satisfied
    So if you think you can't be without place and chance on me
    Then I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
    
    I have no control over what I feel inside
    And I can't change the way I am and you must be satisified
    And if you think you can't be without placing chains on me
    I'll be moving on when possession gets too strong
    I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
  11. Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Lyrics: Put It Off Until Tomorrow

    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You say our love is over
    That you have found another
    You say you're going away
    
    But leave me tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    You've hurt me enough today
    I can't believe the words you say
    But I must accept the fact
    You won't be coming back
    
    Oh stay
    Stay just one more day
    Loneliness isn't far away
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today
    Put it off until tomorrow
    You've hurt me enough today

    Just one soft kiss
    Just one yellow rose
    Can mean more than all the gifts in the world
    (One soft kiss, one yellow rose)
    
    When you say the words, "I love you"
    They sound so plain and incomplete (so incomplete)
    So show me you love me
    With kindness and affection

  19. Apple Jack

    Lyrics: Apple Jack

    (Thank you!)
    (You know, I guess, in everybody's life)
    (There's certain people they remember more)
    (When they're growing up than other people)
    (Now, I wanna do a song for you now)
    (That I wrote about an old man)
    (That was very, very special to me)
    (He was the best musician in all the Smokey Mountains)
    
    (Well, he was a dirty old man, he was)
    (And I used to slip off, and go see him whenever I could)
    (Because, now it's not what you think)
    (Anyway, he used to let me cuss)
    (He used to tell me dirty stories)
    (He used to let me chew tobacco)
    (He used to smoke roll-your-owns)
    (And drink moonshine)
    (And we'd just sing away)
    
    (I was seven years old at the time)
    (And I used to go home high, I guess)
    (And mama thought I was sick)
    (For years and years)
    (She didn't know I was the happiest kid)
    (In the Smokey Mountians, nah)
    
    (But it's the truth)
    (He really did let us chew tobacco and smoke, and all that)
    (But anyway, he was a person very dear to me)
    (And he's only livin' in my memory)
    (And that's a special memory)
    (That I'd like to share with you tonight)
    (The memory of my good friend)
    (Applejack)
    
    Now, he lived by the apple orchard
    In this little ole orchard shack
    His real name was Jackson Taylor
    But I called him AppleJack
    Now, old AppleJack was loved
    By everyone he ever knew
    Of course, AppleJack picked apples
    But he picked the banjo, too
    
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song for me, and I'll sing
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song, let your banjo ring
    
    I'd go down to AppleJack's just almost everyday
    We'd sit, and we'd drink applejack
    That old AppleJack had made
    Then he'd take his banjo down
    And then he'd ask me if I'd sing
    And he would play the banjo
    And I'd play my tambourine
    
    It sounds like this
    'Cept he played the banjo better than me, ha-ha
    You hope so, don't ya?
    
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song, let your banjo ring
    Clap your hands, this is your song
    AppleJack would be proud of ya
    
    Now, that's when I was just a kid
    And now that I am grown
    All I have are these memories
    'Cause old AppleJack, well, he's gone
    Oh, but he left me his ole banjo
    And it always takes me back
    And everytime I play it
    I still hear AppleJack
    Clap your hands and sing
    
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song for me, and I'll sing (Well, now)
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song, let your banjo ring
    One more time!
    
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song for me, and I'll sing (Oh, yeah now)
    Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
    Play a song, let your banjo ring
    Whoo-hoo

    Lyrics: It's All Wrong but It's All Right

    Hello, are you free tonight?
    I like your looks, I love your smile
    Could I use you for a while
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    The amber sunset glow has died
    My needs are very much alive
    Is it ok if I stop by?
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    Just close your eyes and hold me tight
    Tell me sexy lovin' lies
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It may be wrong if we make love
    But I just need someone so much
    And who knows, it might last for life?
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It's all wrong, but it's all right (it's all wrong, but it's all right)
    Just close your eyes and hold me tight
    Tell me sexy lovin' lies
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It's all wrong, but it's all right (it's all wrong, but it's all right)
    Just close your eyes and fantasize
    Tell me sexy lovin' lies
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It's all wrong, but it's all right (it's all wrong, but it's all right)
    Just close your eyes and hold me tight
    Tell me sexy lovin' lies
    It's all wrong, but it's all right
    
    It's all wrong, but it's all right (it's all wrong, but it's all right)
    Just close your eyes and fantasize
    Tell me sexy lovin' lies
  21. Tell Me That You Love Me

    Lyrics: Tell Me That You Love Me

    Show me (show me) that you need me
    Like the river needs the early morning rain
    Show me (show me) that you want me
    'Cause I really need to feel your heart again
    Tell me (tell me, tell me) that you love me
    
    If it was the middle of a moonless night
    Would you shine for me, baby? Would you hold me tight?
    If a flame was fading from a lost desire
    Would you put another log on the fire, baby
    Like a candle burnin' down
    Maybe we could turn this thing around
    
    Kiss me (kiss me) like you mean it
    Like you wouldn't have it any other way
    Let nothing (nothing) stand between us
    Honey, let's don't ever let it fade away
    Tell me (tell me, tell me) that you love me
    Do you love me?
    
    We could camp out on Old Hickory Lake
    Talkin' all night and sleepin' in late
    Lookin' at the stars like we used to do
    Honey, you don't know how I've missed you
    
    Save me, for so long I've been longing for you, baby
    It's all up to you
    
    Show me (show me) that you need me
    Like the river needs the early morning rain
    Show me (show me) that you want me
    'Cause I really need to feel your heart again
    
    Tell me (tell me, tell me) that you love me
    Tell me (tell me, tell me) that you love me (tell me that you love me)
    Tell me (tell me) that you love me (tell me that you love me)
    Tell me (tell me) that you love me (tell me that you love me)
    Tell me, tell me that you love me, that you love me

  23. The Man

    Lyrics: The Man

    I don't know why I like him, I just only know I do
    I don't know why I trust him, I just know his heart is true
    I don't know why he's more a man than any man I know
    I don't know how I know the man's for real but I still know
    The man is more than what meets the eye
    He is worn and weary from life
    He is rugged but he's got style
    The man has got what matters inside
    
    Weary, yes he must get weary but he doesn't say
    But you can read between the lines that wind along his face
    The man has got his memories that he hides inside his mind
    And you can see the sadness in the eyes they hide behind
    
    The man is more than what meets the eye
    He is worn and weary from life
    He is rugged but he's got style
    The man has got what matters inside
    
    Love him, yes I've always loved him and I always will
    He holds a place in my heart no one else could ever fill
    He's always been my hero, the best friend I've ever had
    The man is something special and I'm proud that he's my dad
    
    The man is more than what meets the eye
    He is worn and weary from life
    He is rugged but he's got style
    The man has got what matters inside
    
    The man is more than what meets the eye
    He is worn and weary from life
    He is rugged but he's got style
    The man has got what matters inside

  26. A Rose Won't Fix It

    Lyrics: A Rose Won't Fix It

    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    This time you can't save it with flowers
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    With all its beauty and magical powers
    I should've been gone by now
    
    It's too late anyhow
    And a rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    It's too late for roses now
    
    How many times have you lied?
    How many times have I cried?
    How many times have we tried
    To be sent together?
    Each time you shatter my life
    That's when the roses arrive
    Only to stall the goodbyes
    This one's forever
    
    'Cause a rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    It's gonna take more than the power of flowers
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    With all its beauty and magical powers
    I should've been gone by now
    It's too late anyhow
    And a rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    No need for roses now
    
    Sorry rhino the car
    Each time you tear me apart
    Too many thorns in my heart
    I'm tired of bleeding
    I know you can't change how you are
    I'll always carry the scars
    This time you pushed it too far
    I'm really leaving
    
    I know you can't change how you are
    I'll always carry the scars
    But this time you pushed me too far
    I'm really leaving
    I should've been gone by now
    It's too late anyhow
    And a rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    It's too late for roses now
    
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    It's gonna take more than the power of flowers
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    Too many long nights and blue lonely hours
    This time it won't do the trick
    This love is too far gone to fix
    And a rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    Don't bother with your roses now
    
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    Too late for roses
    Too late for roses now
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    Too late for roses
    Too late for roses now
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    
    Too late for roses now
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it
    A rose won't fix it now

  28. Puppy Love

    Lyrics: Puppy Love

    Puppy love, puppy love
    They all call it puppy love
    I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
    And I like it, it's puppy love
    
    Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad
    When you kiss me, makes me glad
    You turn to leave and make me sad
    Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had
    
    Puppy love, puppy love
    They all call it puppy love
    I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
    And I like it, it's puppy love
    
    Puppy love, puppy love
    They all call it puppy love
    I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
    And I like it, it's puppy love
    
    Sometimes you won't even carry my books
    The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks
    You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook
    And I must confess I'm really hooked
    
    Puppy love, puppy love
    They all call it puppy love
    I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
    And I like it, it's puppy love
  29. Not Bad

    Lyrics: Not Bad

    I used to read about it in movie magazines
    People drinkin' champagne and ridin' limousines
    Shoppin' at the finest stores, fancy restaurants
    Diamond rings and everything that one could ever want
    
    Not bad (Not bad)
    I used to say to myself
    Not bad (Not bad)
    They've done alright for themselves
    Livin' high and bein' free in the land of opportunity
    Not bad (Not bad)
    
    I used to think how lucky those people really were
    Back when I was just a kid and people still wore fur
    I used to fantasize that I could even be a star
    With money, clothes, a penthouse suite and my own fancy car
    
    Not bad (Not bad)
    Hey, look at me, I made it
    Not bad (Not bad)
    I got my own pink Mercedes
    For a little country girl like me enjoyin' such prosperity
    Not bad (Not bad)
    
    Ah, not bad (Not bad)
    It ain't bad, it ain't bad, it ain't bad
    
    Sometimes I look around me, I can't believe it's true
    To think of where I came from and where I've gotten to
    
    Not bad (It ain't bad, it ain't bad)
    From rags to riches
    Not bad (Bad)
    Got a little money in my britches
    To do the things you wanna do and
    It's good to know dreams do come true
    Not bad (It ain't bad)
    
    Not bad (Not bad)
    If I do say so myself
    Not bad (Not bad)
    I've got a couple trophies on my shelf
    Not bad (Not bad)
    But I'm rollin' in sweet clover
    Not bad (Not bad)
    Well, my cup runneth over
    Livin' high and bein' free in the land of opportunity
    Not bad (It ain't bad)
    
    To do the things you wanna do and it's
    Good to know dreams do come true (They do)
    Not bad (Bad)
  30. For Keeps

    Lyrics: For Keeps

    Before you say another word
    There's something I would like to say
    I can see our future here
    And I want to make it clear
    If you don't feel the same
    Please walk away
    
    What we have here is such a precious thing
    That God Himself sent down on angel wings
    It's heaven when we touch
    And I've never felt this much
    And I believe we can have everything
    For keeps
    
    I want this love to be
    For keeps
    Honest and complete
    Forever I'll be true
    If you say you feel the same way too
    I know this love can be
    
    For keeps
    I want this love to be
    Oh, oh, oh
    I want this love to be
    For keeps
    Precious, kind and sweet
    
    This is much more than romance
    This could be a lifetime chance
    Come live this love with me
    
    For keeps
    I want this love to be
    For keeps
    
    Ooh, oh, oh

  32. Be Your Own Man

    Lyrics: Be Your Own Man

    You say I'm possessin'
    That I cramp your style
    You say you're unhappy
    That's putting it mild
    You say you've decided
    To be on your own
    Be your own man
    Be left alone
    
    You say you have chosen
    To live without me
    You say I've stolen
    Your eyes and empty
    You've become restless
    So you made it my fault
    You want your freedom
    I'll pay the cost
    
    Be your own man
    I set you free
    Be who you are
    Go as you please
    I hope you'll be happy
    Whatever you find
    Be your own man
    'Cause you're no longer mine
    
    I watch you leavin'
    I can't hide the tears
    To think it meant nothin'
    The memories, the years
    Are you searching for something?
    Are you grasping at youth?
    Do you think you will find it?
    Is it worth what you'll lose?
    
    Be your own man
    I set you free
    Be who you are
    Go where you please
    I know I can't stop you
    You made up your mind
    Be your own man
    'Cause you're no longer mine
    (Be your own man, just be your own man)
    
    Be your own man
    I set you free
    Be your own man
    Don't worry 'bout me
    I hope you'll be happy
    Whatever you find
    Be your own man
    'Cause you're no longer mine
    
    Be your own man
    Be your own man
    (Be your own man, just be your own man)
    
    Be your own man, just be your own man

  34. We Might Be in Love

    Lyrics: We Might Be in Love

    When you look at me
    Do you feel like I do
    Whenever I'm looking at you?
    Do you see the world
    With me always in it
    The way I can only see you?
    
    Does your heart feel as if
    It could burst any second?
    Is it racing and will not slow up?
    Do you just want to be
    In and all over me?
    
    Then it might be
    We might be in love
    I love you, I love you
    
    My heart seems to whisper
    But my lips cannot form those words
    I know my heart is calling out to you
    In a voice that you've already heard
    
    It's hard to say
    Those words for the first time
    The first time, they say, is always tough
    It's strange, new and rare
    Though I've never been there
    I dare say
    
    We might be in love
    We might be in love
    
    The best I can tell
    I'm thinking thoughts that I've never pondered
    And I'm feeling like I've never felt
    It's like I've drank from some magic potion
    Sipping from your loving cup
    Intoxicated, infatuated
    
    I'm thinking
    
    We might be in love
    We might be in love
    
    What else could it be?
    These feelings of wonder, of passion
    And romance, excitement
    And pure ecstasy
    
    We might be in love
    
    And it might be forever
    I think there's a future for us
    If you just want to be
    In and all over me
    It might be
    We might be in love
    I promise for keeps
    If you're feeling like me
    I dare say
    We might be in love
    
    I think
    We might be in love

  36. When It's Family

    Lyrics: When It's Family

    When it's family
    You forgive them
    For they know not what they do
    When it's family
    You accept them
    'Cause you have no choice but to
    
    When it's family
    They're a mirror of the worst and best in you
    And they always put you to the test
    You always try to do your best
    Just pray for God to do the rest
    
    When it's family
    Some are preachers, some are gay
    Some are addicts, drunks and strays
    But not a one is turned away
    It's family
    Some are lucky, others ain't
    Some are fighters, others faint
    Winners, losers, sinners, saints
    It's all family
    
    When it's family
    You trust them
    'Cause your heart's an open door
    When it's family
    
    You tolerate what you'd kill others for
    When it's family
    You give and give and take then give some more
    Somehow you justify mistakes
    Try to find some better way
    To solve the problems day to day
    In the family
    
    You take the trouble as it comes
    You love them more than anyone
    Good, bad or indifferent
    You're still family
    
    You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
    But not the family that you're in
    They'll be with you 'til the end
    'Cause it's family
    
    And when it's family
    You forgive them
    For they know not what they do
    When it's family
    You accept them
    'Cause you have no choice but to
    When it's family
    They're a mirror of the worst and best in you
    And they always put you to the test
    You always try to do your best
    
    And pray for God to do the rest
    When it's family
    
    Family, family
    Let me be all that I should be
    To the family
    Family, family
    Winners, losers, sinners, saints
    It's all family
    Family, family
    They'll be with you 'til the end

    Lyrics: 9 To 5

    Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
    Pour myself a cup of ambition
    And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
    
    Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
    Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
    The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
    
    Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
    Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
    They just use your mind
    And they never give you credit
    It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
    
    9 to 5, for service and devotion
    You would think that I
    Would deserve a fair promotion
    Want to move ahead
    But the boss won't seem to let me
    I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
    Mmm
    
    They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
    You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
    But you got dreams he'll never take away
    
    You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
    Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
    And the tide's gonna turn
    And it's all gonna roll your way
    
    Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
    Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
    They just use your mind
    And you never get the credit
    It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
    
    9 to 5, yeah
    They got you where they want you
    There's a better life
    And you think about it, don't you?
    It's a rich man's game
    No matter what they call it
    And you spend your life
    Puttin' money in his wallet
    
    9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
    Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'

    It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

    Lyrics: Magic Man (Carl Version) (feat. Ann Wilson)

    Cold late night, so long ago
    When I was not so strong, you know
    A pretty man came to me
    I'd never seen eyes so blue
    
    You know I could not run away, it seemed
    We'd seen each other in a dream
    Seemed like he knew me
    He looked right through me, yeah
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "You don't have to love me yet, just get high awhile
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    I'm a magic man"
    
    Winter nights, we sang in tune
    Played inside the months of moon
    Never think of never
    Let this spell last forever
    
    Summer lover passed to fall
    Tried to realize it all
    Mama says she's worried
    You're growing up in a hurry, oh, yeah
    
    "Come on home, girl," Mama cried on the phone
    "Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    Ooh, he got magic hands
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    
    Try, oh
    Try, yeah, try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    
    Mm (magic man)
    (He's a magic man)
    
    A magic man with luring eyes, changed the course of my young life
    He was a magic man
    I was oh so quick to learn, I was caught up in the burn
    Of the magic man
    No one else could understand, unless you've loved a magic man (oh, oh)
    The way he swept me off my feet, mama's love could not compete
    A magic man is like a drug and I'm addicted to his love
    
    He is a magic man
    He got magic hands
    
    "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
    "You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
    But try to understand
    Try to understand
    Try, try, try to understand
    He's a magic man
    Yeah, yeah, oh
