There'll be a rainbow around the moon
You'll fall apart when you hear that tune
Every day will end too soon
When you fall in love
You'll get weak in the knees when you see her smile
You try your best to hid it ??cause it's not your style
You let it get you cryin' like a little child
When you fall in love
Chorus:
When you fall in love
It's out of your hands
It gets into your heart
It changes your plans
But you'll only understand
When you fall in love
The summer breeze will chill you to the bone
You'll walk the floor ??til the break of dawn
Sometimes you'll feel so alone
When you fall in love
And you won't notice, but the day that it shows
That light'll follow you wherever you go
And that's how you'll know
RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY YOU RAMBLE NO ONE KNOWS
WILD AND WIND BLOWN
THAT'S HOW YOU'VE GROWN
WHO CAN PAINT YOU MY RAMBLING ROSE
RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY YOU RAMBLE NO ONE KNOWS
WHO WILL LOVE YOU WITH A LOVE TRUE
WHEN YOUR RAMBLING DAYS ARE GONE
RAMBLING ROSE, RAMBLING ROSE
WHY I WANT YOU HEAVEN KNOWS
THOUGH I LOVE YOU WITH A LOVE TRUE
I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playin' a fool's game hopin' to win
And tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' her eyes, lookin' for traces of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love
I was alone then, no love in sight
I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' her eyes, lookin' for traces of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love
You came knockin' at my heart's door
You're everything I've been lookin' for
No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' your eyes, lookin' for traces of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover you, oh you
Lookin' for love
In all the wrong the places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' your eyes, lookin' for traces of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover you, oh you
Lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
When the train pulled into the station
He roll up his sleeves and rosined up his bow
A little upside down Orange Blossom Special
Cause if you want to make a living you gotta put on a
good show
Chorus
And when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders
He'd slick back his hair, and open up his case
He'd play the Cherokee Fiddle, he'd play it for the
whiskey
Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place
He was always there, playing for the miners
The Devil's Dream was a song they understood
And then he'd go out to Oklahoma
But he'd wait till the trains were running and the
weather was good
Chorus
INSTRUMENTAL (Like a verse)
Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboys
And the cowboys are putting leather and turquoise on
And the music is sold by lawyers
And the fools who fiddled in the middle of the stations
are gone
Some folks say they'll never miss him
That old fiddle squealed like the engines brakes
The Cherokee Fiddle is gone forever
Like the music of the whistle that the old locomotives
made
So when you smell the smoke and the cinders
Slick back your hair, and open up your case
Play the Cherokee Fiddle, you can play it for the
whiskey
Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
I went balling the other night
I started drinking and got real tight
I blew each and all my friends
I felt so good I had to blow it again
I said hey bartender
Hey man, looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer
Well I saw a chick sitting on the end
I said baby cant we be friends
Youre looking sweet as you can be
Well come on down and drink with me
I said hey bartender
Hey man looka here
Draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer
Elwood!
Well we was having so much fun
I didnt know it was half past one
I turned around to have on more
I looked at the clock and it was half past four
Hey bartender
Hey man look a here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer
Well jukebox girl is everything
All the cats began to sing
I heard somebody called and said
Last round for alcohol
I said hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Ev'ry morning I go scratch for the almighty buck
I dream the American dream
But it don't seem to change my luck
It gets downright depressing
It wears the sole down to the bone
I don't thank that I could make it
If I had to make it alone
Oh, be there for me baby
Come sunup or sundown
And when the winter wind's whistling at the window
Together we can hold out ground
The secret to survivin'
Is dividin' the burden in two
So, be there for me baby
And I'll be there for you
I know you expected more out of this life than bills
and a broom
But that's all you're getting' from the man
You were betting had hung the moon
But love makes compensation
And it's enough to see us through
It's too bad we're not in the money
Oh, but we got me and you
Oh, be there for me baby
Come sunup or sundown
And when the winter wind's whistling at the window
Together we can hold out ground
The secret to survivin'
Is dividin' the burden in two
So, be there for me baby
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Behind the bar I see some crazy things
I watch those disappearing wedding rings
A telephone call pagin' so and so
There he is shakin' his head no
'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him
He can't quit now, he's gone out on a limb
Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tomb
Guess who happened to walk in the room
You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two
She walks on over
Tears in her eyes
And knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies
The silence is deafening
All eyes are on her
What will she say to that innocent girl
Her hands start shakin'
'Cause the words don't come
She's in shock, her whole body is numb
Everyone there is holdin' their breath
With the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says
You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two
You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two
My friends say she's sophisticated and free.
Never fall for an outlaw like me.
Too high and refined. I'm just wastin' my time.
Forget her.
But I'm kinda caught in the web.
The lady has gone to my head.
I no longer cope. I'm a prisoner of hope,
Since I met her.
I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
The friendship would end.
With her in my arms and her by my side.
With her in my days and her in my nights.
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy.
Prisoners of hope never want to be free.
Yesterday I caught her in a glance.
More than a coincidence.
But she turned away as if to say,
I'm above it.
She says love's a trick of the night.
And it's all done with mirrors and lights.
When I act a fool like some kid back in school,
She loves it.
I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
The friendship would end.
With her in my arms and her by my side.
With her in my days and her in my nights.
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy.
Prisoners of hope never want to be free.
I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
(CHORUS)
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heartme away.
Sometimes this old life
Seems like a highway
It keeps rollin', on and on
And on that highway
You meet a lot of strangers
You pass a lot of dangers on your way home.
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
If you don't like takin' chances, then
You better keep movin' on, my friend.
And pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves, they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heart away
You took a chance on him,
he broke your heart and left you crying.
You lost your will to love again.
Oh, you ain't even tryin
All you need is someone,
who will love you tender-ly.
Well, here I am so take my hand,
and bet your heart on me.
CHORUS
You can bet your heart on me.
Honey, you can be a winner.
Forget about the last time out,
you were just a beginner.
Well, don't be afraid cause you've got it made,
If you just let it be.
Lay your love down one more time
and bet your heart on me.
Love is more than just a game,
that's why it hurts so much to lose it.
I've got something for the pain,
So why don't you use it.
Lucky star's are shining,
shining so you can believe.
That my love is a sure thing girl
So bet your heart on me.
(chorus)
You can bet your heart on me.
Honey, you can be a winner.
Forget about the last time out,
you were just a beginner.
Well, don't be afraid cause you've got it made,
If you just let it be.
Lay your love down one more time
and bet your heart on me.
(chorus)
You can bet your heart on me.
Honey, you can be a winner.
Forget about the last time out,
you were just a beginner.
Well, don't be afraid cause you've got it made,
If you just let it be.
Lay your love down one more time
Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you.
But what I gotta say can't wait,
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.
Every time I'm near you,
I just run out of things to say.
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Every time the time was right,
All the words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kinda late.
Hope I didn't wake you,
But there's something I just gotta say.
Know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong
There's a yellow rose in Texas
I'm going home to see
Though other men have held her
Her heart belongs to me
You've traveled down some dusty roads
Slept out in the rain
But this yellow rose is always here
When you come home again
She knows I've done some hard time
You stumbled then you fell
I just kept your pride from dying
You saved my soul from hell
She's the diamond of the desert
She's the golden flower of spring
She's the yellow rose of Texas
She can make a man a king
There's a yellow rose in Texas
She knows the dues I've paid
And I'm going home to tell her
I wish I'd never strayed
You couldn't see beyond yourself
Your pain and wounded pride
But now you know the truth is
In the way you feel in side
She knows I've done some hard time
You stumbled then you fell
I just kept your pride from dying
And you saved my soul from hell
She's the diamond of the desert
She's the golden flower of spring
She's the yellow rose of Texas
She can make a man a king
Yes the yellow rose of Texas can
This time, we're really breakin' up
This time, we've said way too much
This time's for all the times
How about this time?
This time, there'll be no goodnight kiss
This time it's forever
This time I find that I'm
Really losin' you
My heart is broken now
It really doesn't matter anyhow
Now that you've gone away
I only live from day to day
This time, there'll be no goodnight kiss
This time it's forever
This time I find that I'm
Really losin' you
This time, we're really breakin' up
This time, we've said way too much
This time I find that I'm
You say that you can't get to sleep at night
And you don't know what it could be
Well, you can blame it on the moon for being too bright
But it sounds like love to me
You feel like a fever is coming on
Got your whole body feeling weak
But you still dance around and hum the same old song
Sounds like love to me
Oh, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Oh, you might've even caught it from me
Well, you've never felt this way before
So you worry about it naturally
Oh, well, there ain't no need to worry anymore
It just sounds like love to me
Oh, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Oh, you might've even caught it from me
You say that you can't get to sleep at night
And you don't know what it could be
Well, you can blame it on the moon for being too bright
But it sounds like love to me
You know, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Well, you might've even caught it from me
You know, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
You treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
You do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
Tighter, tighter
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
(Please, squeeze)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do
Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away
Sometimes this old life, it seems like highway
And it keeps rolling on and on
And on that highway you meet a lot of strangers
You pass a lot of dangers on your way home
Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
If you don't like taking chances then
You better keep moving on my friend
Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away
(Picking up strangers)
Let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do
Picking up strangers, let me tell you about the dangers
Some are just common bees they say
Next thing you know want to steal your heart away
(Picking up strangers)
Let me tell you about the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
Sometimes it seems the world's a jungle
Through it all I was born to stumble
Searchin' for somethin' I never would find
I take your love in bits and pieces
Comin' to you only when it eases that lonely feelin'
That gets in my mind and you treat me so kind
With those hard times come a dime a dozen
But girls with your kind of lovin' are one in a million
They're so hard to find
And those hard times come a dime a dozen
But girls with your kind of lovin' are one in a million
I'm lucky you're mine
I know your friends don't think much of me
They say you're a fool to love me
But girl I know they'll never turn you around
You're bound to love, you hard luck poet
When I let you down you don't show it, you know it don't matter
They can't touch what we found when the sun goes down
And those hard times come a dime a dozen
But girls with your kind of lovin' are one in a million
They're so hard to find
And those hard times come a dime a dozen
But girls, with your kind of lovin' are one in a million
I'm lucky you're mine
And those hard times come a dime a dozen
But girls, with your kind of lovin' are one in a million
They're so hard to find
