Loving You Comes Naturally to Me

I Still Miss Someone

Out my door the leaves are falling A cold wild will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone I go out to a party To look for a little fun But I find a darkened corner 'Cause I still miss someone Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if he's sorry For leaving what we had begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there And I wonder if he's sorry For leaving what we had begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone...

Warm Place In The Snow

There's a chilling wind right outside my window But I know this time this heart of mine won't feel the bitter cold For the first time I can feel a fire inside me And I think I've found a warm place in the snow In the distance I can see a light a-shining You're the shelter where this lonely heart can go And a home for all these feelings I've been hiding Oh, I think I've found a warm place in the snow It's an empty lonesome road I leave behind me And the love I see in front of me just needs a place to grow I'm going where the cold will never find me Oh, I think I've found a warm place in the snow In the distance I can see a light a-shining You're the shelter where this lonely heart can go And a home for all these feelings I've been hiding Oh, I think I've found a warm place in the snow Oh, I think I've found a warm place in the snow

Heavenly Sunshine

I've searched for words of sweet description too best described The thrill it gives me just to have you by my side But I can't find one single word that properly defines How sweet it is just knowing that all your love is mine Your love is heavenly sunshine heavenly sunshine You fill my heart with your sweet love devine Heavenly sunshine heavenly sunshine you make me happy cause your love is mine The colors in the rainbow are a lovely sight to see But even rainbows lose their glow when you smile at me And when you kiss me I can hear a thousand bluebirds sing No matter how that sounds the words could only mean one thing Your love is heavenly sunshine... Heavenly sunshine heavenly sunshine...

I Went to Your Wedding

I went to your wedding although I was dreading The thought of losing you The organ was playing my poor heart kept saying Your dreams your dreams are through You came down the aisle wearing a smile a vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh then whispered goodbye goodbye to my happiness Your mother was crying your father was crying and I was crying too The teardrops were falling because we were losing you [ steel ] Your mother was crying...

Oh My God

When you awaken in the garden of evil You try to find your song The wind blows right by and it plays you a tune But you want it to linger on Nobody knows and nobody cares So you sit and talk to God I'm not gonna blame you for all of my problems Though most people probably do They say that they want thing and then do another To me, that's horribly rude Promised that I will reap what I sow So leave me alone Just leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone (Leave me alone!) Just leavе me alone (Leavе me alone!) [?] leave me alone (Leave me alone!) (Leave me alone) (Leave me alone!) (Leave me alone...)

Birds Eye View

I’m on the outside looking in to watch you fall apart again. I can’t look away. I see the shame. Same sad story I know it frame by frame. What can I do? I can’t give up on you Rock bottom rolled out the welcome mat and my seat on this wreck is the only one with a bird’s eye view of the ground, so pick me up on the way down Like a ship lost at sea or a runaway train, you’re gonna bury me. I keep believing in the same old lines. This worn down road, I know it mile by mile. What can I do? I can’t give up on you Rock bottom rolled out the welcome mat and my seat on this wreck is the only one with a bird’s eye view of the ground, so pick me up on the way down Tried to build you a parachute and a soft landing to fall into but the threads are all tearing apart just like we are Rock bottom rolled out the welcome mat and my seat on this wreck is the only one with a bird’s eye view of the ground, so pick me up on the way down

It Amazes Me

Anytime the world is gettin' to me all I have to do is think of you And I know the world cannot undo me I feel so easy loving you It amazes me at all I seem to be is me loving you and you loving me It amazes me the rhythm and the rhyme two loving hearts in sweet loving times Mhm sweet loving times I never find the words to tell you somehow they're always hard to say But I hope you feel it when I hold you my love is growing everyday It amazes me at all...

Your Old Love Letters

Today, I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one Before I light the flame I read it To try and find the wrong I've done The first you wrote me was the sweetest The last one told me we were through Our love now lies among the embers Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue And as I burned your old love letters I watched my dreams go up in smoke I thought again those precious mem'ries I heard each tender word you spoke The first you wrote me was the sweetest The last one broke my heart in two And as I light the flames I read it 'Cause I can say I still love you

Out In The Cold Again

The song that you sang so sweetly You called it our love refrain It's gone and I’m left completely Out in the cold again I dreamed that our love would linger But just memories remain I gaze at a ringless finger Out in the cold again True it hurts my pride to step aside For somebody new But deep down inside My whole world depended on you I wanted your arms around me To shelter me from the rain But now I'm back where you found me Out in the cold again I wanted your arms around mе To shelter me from thе rain But now I'm back where you found me Out in the cold again

Daddy Sang Bass

I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things were bad But there's a silver lining behind every cloud Just poor people, that's all we were Trying to make a living out of black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle singing loud Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Singing seems to help a troubled soul One of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm going to join the family circle at the throne No, the circle won't be broken By and by, Lord, by and by Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky Now I remember after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singing for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But, I'll rejoin him in a song We'll be together again up yonder in a little while Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky Songwriter: Carl Perkins

Enough For You

I've lived enough to know that love's not everything you need God knows I know there are still so many things you wanna be I've seen enough to understand the pain you're goin' through It's just the shame to know I'm not enough for you It hurts to see the hurt beneath your laughter and your lies And try in vain to feel the painful secret locked behind your eyes And I can't even blame you for the things you're turnin' to It's just the shame to know I'm not enough for you I've given you the best of every thing I have to give Now there's nothing left for me to leave you but my will to live I hope some day somebody somewhere loves you like I do It's just the shame to know I'm not enough for you

Maybe Its Me

[Verse 1] Sittin' alone here on the couch Lookin' to blame somebody else Avoiding every one of your calls Dodgin' the mirror on that wall 'Cause I'm scared of what I might see [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's me and all my stuck-up pride Never could admit that you were right Maybe I'm afraid to fall So I put up all these walls [Chorus] You know I've got a record of walkin' away Now that I've got a reason to stay I'm seein' things I never would have seen Maybe it's me [Verse 2] And all my baggage from the past keeps draggin' on Finding problems where there ain't a damn thing wrong Lettin' my shame get in the way, twistin' every word you say Giving you every reason to leave [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's me and all my stuck-up pride Never could admit that you were right Maybe I'm afraid to fall So I put up all these walls [Chorus] You know I've got a record of walkin' away Now that I've got a reason to stay I'm seein' things I never would have seen Maybe it's me Maybe it's me [Bridge] Maybe it's me and all my stuck-up pride Never could admit that you were right Maybe I'm afraid to fall So I put up all these walls [Chorus] You know I've got a record of walkin' away Now that I've got a reason to stay I'm seein' things I never would have seen I'm seein' things I never would have seen Maybe it's me Maybe it's me Maybe it's me Maybe it's me

Well, it takes all kinds to make a world Big and little, men and women, boys and girls And I'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl But I guess it takes all kinds to make a world My friend and me went to a picture show in town They called his name and said his house had just burned down I took his hand and offered him my sympathy Then suddenly I remembered that he lived with me Well, it takes all kinds to make a world... [Pa pa pa pa pa] Well, I wrecked the heck out of my pretty car today Cause it's a total loss and I had to walk home all the way Then a phone call said, "You're holdin' ticket 17 You lucky boy, you've won a tank of gasoline" Well, it takes all kinds to make a world... Well, last night I had the pleasure of her company She said she'd like to see a whole lot more of me And I spent money like I had my pockets full Now ask me how it feels to try to see through wool Well, it takes all kinds to make a world...

Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you Look I understand too little too late I realize there are things you say and do You can never take back But what would you be if you didn't even try? You have to try So after a lot of thought I'd like to reconsider Please if it's not too late Make it a cheeseburger Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you

Did Your Broken Heart Make You Who Are?

I put on a record It was called “Sad Songs For Sullen Lovers” I listened to it once It took me all day to recover I put on a record It was called “Sad Songs for Savage Lovers” Called you up, Told you what I thought And then I ran for cover I put on a record Called “Dirty Songs For Sad Lovers” It wasn’t long before you called And said “Please, please come over And tell me Did your broken heart make you who you are?” I put on a record It said “Love me once, then leave forever” We are so pure We can learn both joy and rage together You took off the record And said “What’s your rush? As if things won’t break in their own time Without you there to push them Forget about the record Forget about the song Let’s concentrate on what we got right And what we’re still doing wrong.” Did your broken heart make you who you are? You are capable of anything, aren’t you? You learned it from someone Someone learned it from you Cruelty is a virus I know, it’s in my blood too You think you know someone But you never know what they will do Did your broken heart make you who you are? Can your broken heart tell me more about who you are? Then tell me all about it If your broken heart can tell me more about who you are Then go ahead, tell me all about it

Someday Soon

[Verse 1] There's a young man that I know, his age is twenty-one Comes from down in southern Colorado Just out of the service and he's looking for his fun Someday soon, going with him someday soon [Verse 2] My parents cannot stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo My father says that he will leave me cryin' I would follow him right down the toughest road I know Someday soon, going with him someday soon [Bridge] And when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say Guess it's cause he's just as wild in the younger days [Verse 3] So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me He's driving in tonight from California He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me Someday soon, going with him someday soon [Bridge] But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say Guess it's cause he's just as wild in the younger days [Verse 4] Blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me He's driving in tonight from California He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me Someday soon, going with him someday soon Someday soon, going with him someday soon

Dry County Blues

[Verse 1] One traffic light in front of the high school Kids in the parking lot fixing to lie to An old worn-out deputy, don't even carry a gun [Verse 2] There's a car full of pillbillies looking to score From one of them trailer court front porch drug stores And a tired coal miner on a long West Virginia beer run [Chorus] Dry county blues Not a beer joint in sight Half the county's laid off Laid up or getting high [Verse 3] At the head of the holler, there's a makeshift casino With a rusty pool table and blackjack and Bingo Ain't nothing illegal as long as the Sheriff gets paid [Verse 4] There's good Christian women locking their front doors Praying their daughters don't turn into meth whores While their sons are out drinking and driving and trying to get laid [Chorus] Dry county blues Not a beer joint in sight Half the county's laid off Laid up or getting high [Chorus] Dry county blues Not a beer joint in sight Half the county's laid off Laid up or getting high [Tag] Nowhere to go, not a damn thing to do So you turn a blind eye and barely get by Dry county blues

Playin’ Dominoes and Shootin’ Dice

[Verse 1] Once I knowed a guitar picker, lived his life on wine and liquor Running around in one of them new machines He was about the proudest feeling, wheeling, dealing Sneaking, stealing, aggravating man I've ever seen Nothing but a midnight rambler, biggest drunkard and a gambler He'd do anything that wasn't nice Hunting, golfing, fishing, swimming, running around with other women [Chorus] Playing dominoes and shooting dice [Verse 2] Then one night as he was dining, while the moon was brightly shining With his secret love he was so gay He would laugh and call her 'Honey' while she proudly spent his money As they hugged and smooched the time away Laughing, joking, dining, dancing Planning parties and romancing, having fun regardless of the price Eating caviar and chicken, strumming his guitar and picking [Chorus] Playing dominoes and shooting dice [Verse 3] Then his wife walked in and found him with that pretty girl around him Started making headway for the gate When he seen those girls dividing, he commenced to slip and sliding But he seemed to know it was too late Crowds began to getting thinner, they jumped up and left their dinner No one seemed to have an appetite Not a person dare defend her, everyone jumped out the window No one hung around to see the fight Then she grabbed him by the collar, he commenced to squeal and holler As she plastered him betwixt the eyes And then his old guitar she swung it, over his head she proudly hung it Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise He leapt up and tried to squeeze her, but she warped across the beezer Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice When the wicked fight was over, he was laid beneath the clover [Chorus] Playing dominoes and shooting dice

Working Girl Blues

[Verse 1: Hazel Dickens] Hey, hey-hey-hey Got the early Monday morning working blues I put on my ragged, worn-out working shoes Well, the weekend was too short, but I can't choose When the Lord made the working girl, he made the blues [Pre-Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard] Well, I'm tired of working my life away And givin' somebody else all of my pay While they get rich on the profits that I lose And leaving me here with the working girl blues [Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard] I-dee-oh-lay-ee, working girl blues! And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes While they can live in any ol' penthouse they choose And all that I've got is the working girl blues [Verse 2: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard] My boss said a raise is due most any day But, I wonder; will my hair be all turned gray Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my dues? And lose a little bit of these working girl blues? [Pre-Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard] Well, said I'm tired of working my life away And givin' somebody else all of my pay While they get rich on the profits that I lose And leaving me here with the working girl blues [Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard] I-dee-oh-lay-ee, working girl blues! And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes While they can live in any ol' penthouse they choose And all that I've got is the working girl blues

Hard as I Try

Ever since that first night When I gave my love to you Everything just seems so right You are my sunlight shining through And I've tried so not to let it show Yet it seems sad because I know No matter how hard I try No matter how hard I try It's always a goodbye You smile softly as you leave my bed And I tightly hold your hand You lean down to kiss my head But there's nothing to be said And if you say you want to stay I'd know you'd soon be on your way No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye So here we stand, you and I You are too kind, I'm too shy To say what we really mean So we make life a masquerade Never showing all Only the parts we play No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye

[Verse 1] Girl, since you sat down I've been thinking 'bout that last-call round Wondering if you'll still be sitting right here Talking to me over cold beer, dragging it out Now here we are at the end of the night saying goodbye Knowing that we both don't want to If you ain't got no one to go home to Then baby, won't you [Chorus] Lay your loving on this lonely heart I've been waiting on a healing kiss Trace your fingers 'cross the leaving scars Give me something to believe in, a feeling I don't wanna spend another night alone in a cold bed If I'm getting no rest Let it be you keeping me up in the dark Lay your loving on this lonely heart, mmm Lay your loving on this lonely heart [Verse 2] Don't want a one-night fix (Don't want a one-night fix) Don't wanna worry about what comes next (What comes next) All I know is there's nothing that I've been through That you can't undo with your lips [Chorus] Lay your loving on this lonely heart I've been waiting on a healing kiss Trace your fingers 'cross the leaving scars Give me something to believe in, a feeling I don't wanna spend another night alone in a cold bed If I'm getting no rest Let it be you keeping me up in the dark Lay your loving on this lonely heart, mmm Lay your loving on this lonely heart [Bridge] Now here we are at the end of the night Not saying goodbye (Goodbye) [Chorus] So lay your loving on this lonely heart I've been waiting on a healing kiss Trace your fingers 'cross the leaving scars Give me something to believe in, a feeling I don't wanna spend another night alone in a cold bed If I'm getting no rest Let it be you keeping me up in the dark Lay your loving on this lonely heart (This lonely heart), mmm Lay your loving on this lonely heart (This lonely heart)

Just The Other Side Of Nowhere

I come from just the other side of nowhere to this big time lonesome town They got a lotta ice and snow here half as cold as all the people I found Every way I've tried to go here seems to bring me down And I seen about enough to know where I belong I've got a mind to see the headlight Shinin' on that old white line between my heart and home Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays sittin' in a park alone So give my best to anyone who's left who's ever done me any lovin' way but wrong And tell 'em that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's going home Taking nothing back to show there for these dues that I've paid But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been given away Fadin' from the neon night time glow here headin' for the light of day Just the other side of nowhere's going home I've got a mind to see the headlight...

Old Shit

[Verse 1] Redman tobacco, Grandpa's two cents Old timers, "there in a pinch" I'm a fan of it, old shit Splittin logs, smokin hogs Feedin leftovers to a three legged dog I'm a fan of it, old shit [Chorus] One man's trash is another man's treasure One man's pain is another man's pleasure If it's out of style, sure drives me wild I'm a fan of it, old shit [Verse 2] Old turntables, vinyl records Hand me down tools, Black and Decker I'm a fan of it, old shit [Chorus] [Bridge] Singin hymns, skippin stones When I think of him I think of home I'm a fan of it, old shit [Modified Chorus/Outro] Now grandpa's trash is my treasure He don't feel pain, only pleasure If it's out of style, sure drove him wild So I'm a fan of it, old shit Yeah I'm a fan of it, old shit

Almost Persuaded

Almost persuaded now to believe Almost persuaded Christ to receive Seems now some soul to say," go spirit go Thy way Some more convenient day, on Thee I'll call" Almost persuaded harvest is past Almost persuaded doom comes at last Almost cannot avail almost is but to fail Sad sad the bitter wail almost, but lost

There Is A Reason Live

I've seen hard times and I've been told There isn't any wonder that I fall Why do we suffer, crossing off the years There must be a reason for it all I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sin Heaven is the place I call my home But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in And Your voice it sometimes fades before I know Hurtin' brings my heart to You, crying with my need Depending on Your love to carry me The love that shed His blood for all the world to see This must be the reason for it all Hurtin' brings my heart to You, a fortress in the storm When what I wrap my heart around is gone I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world When the one who loves me most will give me all In all the things that cause me pain You give me eyes to see I do believe but help my unbelief I've seen hard times and I've been told There is a reason for it all

Touch of Evil

The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue Like that movie "Touch of Evil" I got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich blues Where Orson walks in to the whore house and Marlene says "Man, you look like hell" And Orson's chewing on a chocolate bar As the lights go on in the old Blue Star hotel "Read my future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea leaves of your cup" And she says "You ain't got no future, Hank I beliеve your future's all used up" [Chorus] Why don't you touch mе anymore? Why don't you touch me anymore? Why do you run away and hide? You know it hurts me deep inside Why do you close the bedroom door? This is a brutal little war What good is all this fightin' for if you don't touch me anymore? They shot "A Touch of Evil" in a Venice, California colony And I grew near those dead canals Where they filmed the longest pan shot ever made Now I'm thinking about the movie, the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande Now I'm thinking about my baby and the borderline 'tween a woman and a man I was drunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the door I was screaming "Baby, baby how come you touch me anymore?" [Chorus] Oh, someone rolled the credits on twenty years of love turned dark and raw Not a technicolor love film, it's a brutal document, it's film noir And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast Like a Mexican burlesque show where the characters are wearing comic masks Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez waterhole As we raise a glass to Orson and "A Touch of Evil" livin' our souls [Chorus]

Foolish Doubts

Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la I wonder every time we part If someone else is in her heart Why do I have these foolish doubts I’m sure she’s not romancing with The fellow that she’s dancing with Yet I still have these foolish doubts Foolish doubts I’ll have to chase I’ll have to chase away They only cloud a sky that’s blue Foolish doubts can lead one They can lead one astray And they can break a heart that’s true I tell myself “Start waking up” Because our love is breaking up And all because of foolish doubts Foolish doubts can lead one They can lead one astray And they can break a heart that’s true I tell myself start waking up Because our love is breaking up And all because of foolish doubts Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la

Captain Smith

My heart is sinking fast just like the titanic My heart is pumping blood that's turning blue Well, I just want this cruise and I just can't imagine I'm drowning and it's all because of you Just as cold as ice ripped into my bough Drifted off in moonlight while my ship was goin down This cruise alone might be my last And I can't even fathom Why you left me alone to drown My heart is sinking fast just like the titanic Captain would you please go warn the crew Well, everything is built to last, but it don't last forever I'm sorry but the end is coming soon Just as cold as ice ripped into my bough Drifted off in moonlight while my ship was goin down This cruise alone might be my last And I can't even fathom Why you left me alone to drown Just as cold as ice ripped into my bough Drifted off in moonlight while my ship was goin down This cruise alone might be my last And I can't even fathom Why you left me all alone to drown Why you left me all alone to drown

Two Dozen Roses

I brought flowers to your door last night I done wrong and I wanna make it right You say I'm not welcome here I know it oughta be perfectly clear But I can't help but wonder what it might be like [Chorus] If I had two dozen roses And an old bottle of wine If I really coulda hung the moon Would you change your mind If I could try a little harder And get a little less sleep at night If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind Oh I must have been a fool back then To lose something that you can't have again I've done all that I know to do Second guessed my every move But I can't help but wonder how it might have been [Chorus] If I had two dozen roses And an old bottle of wine If I really coulda hung the moon Would you change your mind If I could try a little harder And get a little less sleep at night If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind If I could try a little harder And get a little less sleep at night If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind Baby could you change your mind Oh baby would you change your mind Oh baby would you change your mind

Fill the air The black pajamas Are everywhere The snipers take A heavy toll Eleven men On routine patrol Routine patrol? Routine patrol? They call this game Routine patrol? If I ever get back I'd swear to my soul I'll never go again On routine patrol He'll be alright, nurse He's off the critical role But he'll never go again On routine patrol

Never Gonna Let You Go

[Verse 1] There ain't no part of you or me that we ain't seen There ain't no high, there ain't no low Ain't no halfway in-between And if you wonder, I still feel the way I've always felt Even after all the things we've been through And all of which we've dealt [Chorus] Oh, and that, just a thought that you should know Oh, that I ain't never gonna let you go [Verse 2] There ain't no sun, there ain't no moon There ain't no sky that God himself ain't painted better Than the day he made your eyes And every time you look my way, those butterflies And they come out my mouth in songs Just like bats out of a cave [Chorus] Oh, and that, just a thought that you should know Oh, that I ain't never gonna let you go [Bridge] It took some time, it took some sacrifice and love To make those pieces match that puzzle that we made And yes, I know it's ruined you But don't you think I'm ruined too?

Almost Proud

[Verse 1] I started life down at the bottom There were those who kept me there And I did things I'm not proud of To see if anybody cared That's the wrong kind of attention I was young and dumb and loud Now I'm quiet and I'm older Would you believe I'm almost proud? [Chorus] Almost proud, almost proud Somehow I landed here, I don't know how Almost proud, almost proud I'm better when I'm not part of the crowd When I think of where I came from and all I've been allowed It makes me, for a minute, almost proud [Verse 2] Now I'd grow a little garden If I could keep away the deer We would have us quite a harvest It's so peaceful living here And I planted her some roses And it seems we're good for now There's a cardinal at my feeder And it makes me almost proud [Chorus] Almost proud, almost proud Somehow I landed here, I don't know how Almost proud, almost proud I'm better when I'm not part of the crowd When I think of where I came from and all I've been allowed It makes me, for a minute, almost proud [Outro] When I think of where I came from and all I've been allowed It makes me, for a minute, almost proud

For a Minute There

You brushed by me, oh, you came so near That I could smell the perfume in your hair An old memory, it took me back in time And my heart stood still for just one minute there For a minute there I forgot where I was Remembering only when you used to care And as you walked by me I almost touched your arm I nearly called your name for a minute there The man beside you, he looked so satisfied Knowing that's his wedding ring you wear It cost him nothing for a lifetime in your arms But I'd give all I own for just one minute there

A Stranger’s Point of View

I never saw a single tear, if she cried it would never show Maybe she was lonely, I didn't take the time to know I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do Until the day I saw her from a stranger's point of view She never even noticed me. If she did she wouldn't say But she never looked so lovely as when she turned and walked away Now someone else is holdin' her just like I used to do I can see it all so clearly now from a stranger's point of view This stranger's eyes can't take the pain of seeing her like this This stranger's eyes can't overlook everything I missed I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do Until the day I looked at her from a stranger's point of view...

You’ve Got a Friend

They'll hurt you, and desert you And take your soul if you let them, don't you let them [Chorus] You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running, running, running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall all you have to do is call And I'll be there, yes I will, you've got a friend, you've got a friend [Outro] Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? Oh happy days, oh happy days, oh happy days

Baby When Your Heart Breaks Down

Baby when your heart breaks down When you're low on lovin' and there isn't anybody around Well you're gonna feel bad and you'll want to get back The only good thing that you ever had Honey when he turns you loose And you keep on tryin' to forget him but it ain't no use Then you're gonna know what I'm feeling now Baby when your heart breaks down I left Appaloosa and my homemade wine I give up a job on a gas pipeline I chased you across the country like that's all I had to do There was nothing in the world would've changed my mind You were the girl with the starry eyes And all them dreams that never had a chance of coming true Well I packed my bags, I bought a guitar I caught me a ride on an old grain barge I'm floatin' down this river tryin' not to think of you Now one of these days when I say goodbye Just to see how hard you'll cry, you'll be tryin' not to want me too

Im Not The Only One

[Verse 1] You and me, we made a vow For better or for worse I can't believe you let me down But the proof's in the way it hurts For months on end I've had my doubts Denying every tear I wish this would be over now But I know that I still need you here [Chorus] You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one [Verse 2] You've been so unavailable Now, sadly, I know why Your heart is unobtainable Even though Lord knows you kept mine [Chorus] You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one [Bridge] I have loved you for many years Maybe I am just not enough You've made me realise my deepest fear By lying and tearing us up [Chorus] You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one [Outro] I know I'm not the only one I know I'm not the only one And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, know I know I'm not the only one

The Hunger

They said in her younger days her beauty was enough to drive men wild But the hunger in her body then was not the hunger of some lonely child Like a butterfly in springtime searching every field for loving's sweetest rose The embrace of many strangers still could not release her from the hold In the backstreets and the bedrooms all she's found is disappointments bitterly While the love that she's too often found was not enough to satisfy her needs She's older than the years she holds and ageing fast with each day passing by On a downhill run to nowhere cause the hunger never can be satisfied The reflection in her mirror's not the image she remembers in her mind Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger and the acid winds of time She has danced the tune her demons play and payed the piper dearly for his song Empty now of all her pride but still inside her hunger's just as strong [ fiddle ] The reflection in her mirror's...

Seeing is Believing

Yesterday started no different than a hundred days before He reached out and touched me Before my feet could touch the cold wood floor As I lay beside him And the thoughts of the moment filled my mind Little did I know that I was loving him for my last time But seeing is believing And believing is the feeling that you feel When the loving feeling's gone Everything we've ever been or anything will be again Packed up his bag and moved along He had everything I need He knew exactly how to feed The hunger that lives inside of me He controlled the way I feel And each day he touched me where I live It's hard to believe he's a memory But seeing is believing And believing is the feeling that you feel When the loving feeling's gone Everything we've ever been or anything will be again Packed up his bag and moved along But seeing is believing And believing is the feeling that you feel When the loving feeling's gone Everything we've ever been or anything will be again Packed up his bag and moved along

You see her there at the bar 'cross the room She looks like an angel with her paint and perfume You'd like to meet her your conscience says no Obey your conscience turn around boy and go She's no angel she's no angel her wings are not real She'll ruin your life it's your heart she can steal She'll tell you tales to bring tears to your eyes So don't you believe them for they're only lies [ steel ] You think if only she could your own You'd be more contented than a king on his throne You'd better not trust her it's wrong if you'd do She's broken many hearts and she'll break your too She's no angel she's no angel her wings are not real She'll ruin your life it's your heart she can steal She'll tell you tales to bring tears to your eyes So don't you believe them for they're only lies

A Place For Leaves

You didn't know me And you wouldn't sing the song i wrote for you My heart is tired I'm changing the leaves with my skin I wanna do what's right So my head and my heart Can avoid this fight It's my time to go But you'll still be here throwin' stones If you could find a way If you could only see that love Is us My heart could only be A resting place for leaves Time will tell Your wretched beat And it's my turn to be Your enemy Time will see To stop the beat of My heart that's meant to be A resting place for leaves

The D-Day Dodgers

I signed up in '39 Up in Calgary Harold and Little John Both joined up with the Marines They sent me out to Sicily In 1943 After 38 days of hell We landed out in Italy The road out past, Calabria Well it keeps its secrets well And the river washed, and the grass it grew And the place where young men fell And out in Ortona As if still falling from the sky You can hear the echo Of the Fallschirmjäger cry Cheer not for the living Although our hearts still beat Won't you bare your heads for the 1400 Lying in the streets I said it once before You'll never know just what we gave Me and the D-Day Dodgers No one standing by our graves And we've seen that beachhead More times than we did not If you didn't fight in France, they say Well you never really fought Well, tell that to old Smokey Or the twenty German wives he robbed Over on the Ronco river With only two left in his squad Or tell that to them boys Lying in the mountain pass Lying in the ditches Or facedown in the grass Spring of '46 Well we finally made it home I went back to Hill Spring Connecting telephones Some of us could never Keep those thoughts out of our heads The homecoming parade They never cried over our dead Smokey kept on fighting Until he could fight no more I settled down with a wife On Daddy's farm in '54 God blessed me with five children And this land, it will stay free I pray He welcomes all the D-Day Dodgers And me

Way Behind

[Verse 1] It used to be the east side That drug me down too far I wallowed in my bad moves And hollered in the dark [Verse 2] Spent all my time dyin' And losin' ev'ry thought Of a precious tiny hand Holdin' on and turnin' cold [Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both] Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind Way behind [Verse 3] It used to be the squandered Dollars from your sweat And the last words that i heard Goin' out the door you said [Verse 4] Now all the neighbors all remember The fancy funeral homes That i never set a foot in To comfort anyone [Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both] Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind Way behind [Verse 5] Oh Lord have mercy now and then When shadows follow clouds Too heavy with my tears To hold back even now [Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both] Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind Way behind [Verse 6 (Not on record)] You can listen to the stories Gettin' thru another day Without you without you In the blues
