Oh, my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat
Well, I did a double take the day I met you
My heart turned a flip as I stood next to you
And I knew right there I never could forget you
For you are my every dream come true
And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat
Well, you came into my life without a warning
You turned my cloudy skies from gray to blue
You're my sunshine that comes up every morning
Oh yes, you are my every dream come true
And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
FAST AS YOU: BY DWIGHT DAVID YOAKAM
MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL BE STRONG, MAYBE IT WON'T BE LONG
I'LL BE THE ONE WHO'S TOUGH, YOU'LL BE THE ONE WHO'S GOT IT ROUGH
IT WON'T BE LONG AND MAYBE I'LL BE REAL STRONG
MAYBE I'LL DO THINGS RIGHT, MAYBE I'LL START TONIGHT
YOU'LL LEARN TO CRY LIKE ME, BABY LET'S JUST WAIT AND SEE
MAYBE I'LL START TONIGHT AND DO THINGS RIGHT
(CHORUS)
YOU'LL CONTROL ME AND OH SO BOLDLY
RULE ME 'TIL I'M FREE
'TIL THE PAIN THAT SHAKE ME
FINALLY MAKES ME, GET UP OFF MY KNEES
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
MAYBE I'LL BE FAST AS YOU, MAYBE I'LL BREAK HEARTS TOO
BUT, I THINK THAT YOU'LL SLOW DOWN
WHEN YOUR TURN TO HURT COMES AROUND
MAYBE I'LL BREAK HEARTS AND BE AS FAST AS YOU
UHHH
(LEAD BREAK)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
MAYBE I'LL BE FAST AS YOU, MAYBE I'LL BREAK HEARTS TOO
I THINK THAT YOU'LL SLOW DOWN
WHEN YOUR TURN TO HURT COMES AROUND
MAYBE I'LL BREAK HEARTS AND BE AS FAST AS YOU
MAYBE I'LL BREAK HEARTS AND BE AS FAST AS YOU
AHH, SUKI
(LEAD BREAK)
SPOKEN, WHILE DOING THE SECOND LEAD BREAK
MAYBE I'LL BE FAST AS YOU, MAYBE I'LL BREAKS HEARTS TOO
I THINK THAT YOU'LL SLOW DOWN
WHEN YOUR TURN TO HURT COMES AROUND
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Well, come on home and fool around with me
I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do
Oh, but many nights I wished that I had been foolin' too
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
But when it's you, a fool I'll always be
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Well, come on home and fool around with me
So honey, fool around, you know right where I'm at
Oh, don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Well, come on home and fool around with me
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Now you're back calling me with open arms
What happened to the one you met with all that charm
You say he's gone snd you're alone well that's a shame
But if you think real hard I know you'll see just who's to blame
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
You're begging me to think about the love we shared
Yet it seems to me not too long ago you didn't care
The love you left no longer lives within my heart
The game you played so recklessly tore it all apart
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Oh tell me how's it feel now that you're the one
How's it feel to be the one
How's it feel now that you're the one it's happening to
You're the one
Oh, oh, you're the one
Yeah, you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
Oh, oh, you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
(Dwight Yoakam)
Hey baby, what'd you know about how it feels
Honey, what'd you know about if that's real
Baby, what'd you know about the whole deal
And what'd you know about love
Hey baby, what'd you know about all its dreams
Honey, what'd you know about Cupid's schemes
Baby, what'd you know about what that means
And what'd you know about love
I've been longing to find
Another heart that would know
And it seems like yours just might
Hey baby, what'd you know about its first blush
Honey, what'd you know about the caught up rush
Baby, what'd you know about what to trust
And what'd you know about love
My heart's so often been wrong
That it still can't be sure if this
Finally did come along
Hey baby, what'd you know about all its dreams
Honey, what'd you know about Cupid's schemes
Baby, what'd you know about what that means
And what'd you know about love
Hey baby, what'd you know about how it feels
Honey, what'd you know about if that's real
Baby, what'd you know about the whole deal
And what'd you know about love
Baby, tell me what'd you know about the whole deal
And what'd you know about love
(Deana Carter/Dwight Yoakam)
Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
Waiting for the the thought to cross your mind that 2 hearts might
Be inclined to commit an act that's bold
Or even just be looking for a chance to take advantage of
One glance and live inside it one more time
Waiting for the thought to cross your mind
How long will it be
'Til these blind eyes can finally see
I don't know, time goes so slow
While your love, like a river, flows right by me
Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
(Dwight Yoakam with Johnny Cash)
Don't call my name out your window, as I'm leavin'
'Cause I won't even turn my head
And don't send your kin folk to give me no dang talkin'
'Cause I'll be gone like I said
You'd can say the same ole things
That you've been sayin' all along
Just lay there in your bed
And keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone
No, Don't give me that old familiar, cry n' cuss n' moan
Understand your man
Oh, Understand your man
huh.
(Instrumental)
Oh, party boys
You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I untangle my mind
No, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
Yet, I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man (meditate on it)
You'll understand your man (You hear me talkin, now?)
Understand your man (I told you so)
Understand your man
Huh,
Oh hu.
Understand your man
Understand your man
Understand your man
Understand
Understand your man...
Trains and boats and planes
Are passing by,
Could mean a trip
To Paris or Rome
For someone else
But not for me
The trains and boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
We were so in love,
And high above
We had a star
To wish upon, wish
And dreams come true,
But not for me
The trains and boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
Trains and boats and planes
Took you away,
But ev'ry time I see them pray
And if my prayers
Can cross the sea,
The trains and boats and planes
Will bring you back,
Back home to me.
(Raymond Douglas Davies)
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep a me waiting
All of the time what can I do?
It's your life you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep a me waiting
Please don't keep a me waiting
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
It's your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep a me waiting
Please don't keep a me waiting
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of waiting
so tired of waiting, waiting for you
I'm so tired, so tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of waiting for you
So tired
Well, I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'
Number one is that I've forgotten number two
Number three is in a place that's been kept hidden
For so long I can't remember but its true
Then I'll give you three more reasons for leavin'
With the first no worse or better than the next two
But rest assured that the third will leave you grievin'
From a tale that's as sad as it is true
Every night
All night long
I sit and count alone
But every day
Nothin's new
I can't find one to use
Every night
All night long
I sit right there and count alone
But every day
Nothin's new
I can't find one to use
But I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'
Number one is that I've forgotten number two
Yeah, number one is that I've forgotten number two
I used to think love was the soft rope meant to tie me down
And all that could ever own me was a guitar and another town
Ten years can disappear real fast
When every morning just leaves somewhere else behind
But I've been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind
Lyin' here beside you I can feel it start to pull me away
The thought I'll have again tomorrow that just came back from yesterday
But your embrace makes any reason for those memories hard to find
And I've been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind
Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights sometimes I miss the crowds
Sometimes I miss the women I wrapped each song around
Sometimes I miss that world out there so empty hard and unkind
But I've been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind
Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights sometimes I miss the noise
Sometimes I miss the fading sounds of every cheering voice
Sometimes I miss that world out there so empty hard and unkind
But I've been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind
In the late great golden state
It's getting hard to negotiate
When you're one slip
From a grim fate
In the late great golden state
In the late great golden state
I don't do much
But I'm always late
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
Solo
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as the canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
Yeah, the late great golden state
Is a nice place for a clean slate
But leave your expectations
At the gate
Of the late great golden state
Cause they can pack you up
And send you home in a crate
Stamped the late great
Golden state
(Mick Jagger, Keith Richards)
Well, I told you once and I told you twice
But you never listened to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should come easy
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could e the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh, no
I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no, oh no
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no
Well, I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'Cause I'll be gone a long, long time
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know
Take her away
But don't let me see
Who the last heart in line
Turns out to be.
I'll never know
There won't be any sign
Of how close it came
For the last heart in line.
And though for a while
I'll still be
Waiting around
For my chance patiently
The fact that she's gone
Is bound to finally dawn
On me eventually.
--- Instrumental ---
And though for a while
I'll still be
Waiting around
For my chance patiently
The fact that she's gone
Is bound to finally dawn
On me eventually.
I guess for her
It'll all work out fine
But who's gonna tell
The last heart in line..
The Heart That You Own
(Dwight Yoakam)
I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby I pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own
Used to be I could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now I pay daily on what once was mine
Lord I probably owe you
For the tears the I cry
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay you what I owe
Just so I can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where I'd go now
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own.
Extra
Yea, in my heart
The heart that you own
when you give it up for gone
but your still digging in the mind
and your staring out the window
saying everything wil be just fine
keepin with whole affair
every word seems out of line
no matter what angle you get
its pollished till it shines
(chours)
take a guess at where i stand
pick a number one to two
take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
and when you say who the hell am i living with
what just went down
where did this come from
why are all my colors faded brown
when did it change
whats with the rage
whos the dude with the extrall
whats the verse the line the chapter the page
(chours)
take a guess at where i stand
pick a number one to two
take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
you think your alone without any place left to go
like you need one of those kisses long and slow
fist glance is not what it seems
but theres some things i just know
like you take two sugars with a splash of cream
you take a guess
where i stand oh pick a number one to two
then take a look
back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
yeah like you know it
you know me too
just like you know it
you know me too
(jimmie rodgers)

(Chorus)
Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' 'round n' 'round

So, stop the world and let me off.
My dreams are shattered don't you see
Now you no longer care for me
I miss the wonder of your kiss
How could you leave me here like this?
(Chorus)
Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' 'round n' 'round
I played the game of love and lost
So, stop the world and let me off.

I've been stayin' up late
Just a thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind
I keep wanderin' around
Through all the lonely
Parts of town
To try and see
If I might could ever find
One last hope
That I could cling to
In case I make the break through
And finally get you off my mind
I tried givin' up dreamin'
But your memory kept schemin'
And found all kinda ways
To sneak back into my sleep
I finally quit talkin' to strangers
Out of fear there's always
The danger
They say hi, hello,
Or somethin' else
You might'a said to me
I've been stayin' up late
Just a thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind
Solo
I keep wanderin' around
Through all the lonely
Parts of town
To try and see if I might
Could ever find
One last hope
That I could cling to
In case I make the break through
And finally get you off my mind
I swore to never
Get caught looken
At a single picture
That was tookin'
Of us or anywhere we ever went
Or ever even seen
I don't dare watch the news
Cause the wrecks
And the crashes
Can remind me too
That I used to ride around
And go places
In cars with you
I've been stayin' up late
Just a thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind
I keep stayin' up late
Just thinkin' about
Ways to get you off my mind
(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
We started having problems in August last year
So things had been kinda rough for quite awhile
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Well, mister that thought's wrong by a long, long mile
Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I always heard them say that you're the last one to know
Well buddy I was last by a long, long while
Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
But there were certain third parties, well her sister for one
That helped bring out reconciling to a drop-dead halt
Chorus:
Now aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Did I tell you that she tried to have me locked out of the house
I had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could her them tell her what to say every time I called
City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
(Jerry Lieber, Mike Stoller)
Christmas

Christmas
Well it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
It's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'Cause Santa Claus is back in town
I don't got no sleigh with reindeer
Got no toys on the back
You gonna see me comin' in a trapped up Cadillac
It's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'Cause Santa Claus is back in town
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Ho, ho, ho, honey
Oh hang up your pretty stockings
Girl turn out the light
Santa Claus is coming down
Your chimney tonight
Yeah, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'Cause ol' St. Nick is back in town
Oh, Merry Christmas, Baby
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Happy, Happy New Year, too
I'm just the same fool, the old fool
The one fool, that you won't fool no more
'Least not the way that you fooled
The last fool you fooled before
So let the next fool, the new fool
Be a fool, that you will fool for sure
Just know that this fool, won't be fooled
Like all those other fools no more
Go find some real fool, no near fool
The kind of fool, that knows what fools are for
That'll give your foolin' heart, those foolish thrills
It won't stand a chance to ignore
They'll be a fine fool, a flat blind fool
A sort of fool, with not a clue about what's in store
Doing every fool-filled thing you need him to
For however long it is that fools endure
You might be finding a little lately
That I've been a greatly changing man
You don't seem worried, so I'm encouraged
This won't discourage all you other plans
I'm just the same fool, the old fool
The one fool, that you won't fool no more
'Least not the way that you fooled the last fool you fooled before
(john d. marks, marvin brodie)

Chorus:

Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man has got my woman and gone
Hey I've got those blues I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes
Yes I've got those blues I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes
My gal went way and left me she left me with the doggone blues
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man has got my woman and gone
You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry
You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry
You'll never miss your woman until she says goodbye
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man has got my woman and gone
Ah and I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home
Yeah I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home
I'm not so lonesome I just don't want to be alone
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man has got my woman and gone
Readin', (Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', Route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Have you ever been down Kentucky-way
Say south of Prestonburg
Have you ever been up in a holler
Have you ever heard
A mountain man cough his life away
From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines, those dark mines
If you had you might just understand
The reason that they left is all behind
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', Route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford
They thought readin', rightin', Route 23
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on Friday night
Pull up in a holler about 2 a.m. and see a light still shinin' bright
Those mountain folks sat up that late
Just to hold those little grandkids in their arms, in their arms
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', Route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford
They thought readin', rightin', Route 23
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway, leads you to a world of misery
This place will tell you lies
With each passing shadow
That goes by
But there's only one or two
At most just three
More likely none
That I still believe
They'll say you're not alone
But don't listen to them
Tell that very long
I did then find out
Through misery
That the true population's me
I used to look for days around
But no trace of her love
Could be found
I'd holler, cry out, beg,
And scream
Throw myself down,
Then start to plead
Searched for her heart,
Til mine would bleed
Offered it up,
But there wasn't any need
Too late to care
She's no longer here
The population's me
Solo
I used to look for days around
But no trace of her love
Could be found
I'd holler, cry out, beg, and
Scream
Throw myself down,
Then start to plead
Searched for her heart,
Til mine would bleed
Offered it up,
But there wasn't any need
Too late to care
She's no longer here
The population's me
This place will tell you lies
With each passing shadow
That goes by
But there's only one or two
At most just three
More likely none
That I still believe

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety two
With George Pratt, his partner and brother Billy, too
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold
Beneath that old white mountain, just a little southeast of Nome
Sam crossed the majestic mountains
To the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
as he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said, "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
You know Sam, a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Beneath that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of Nome."
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush in on
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Way up north
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Way up north
Way up north
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Go north, the rush is on
There's no such thing
As tears or heartache
There's no such thing
As lonely or blue
There's no such thing
As any memory about us
Cause there's no such thing
As me and you
There's no such thing
As it turning out badly
There's no such thing
As hopes and dreams gone bust
There's no such thing
As this all ending sadly
Cause where we are concerned
There is no such thing as love
You never wanted
To be kissed or told
That I never wanted
Another to hold
We never laughed, we never cried
If that's not the truth,
It's just better to lie
Cause there's no such thing
As any trouble forgetting
And there's no such thing
As deceit or mistrust
Yeah, there's no such thing
As remorse or regretting
Cause where we're concerned
There was no such thing as love
Where we're concerned
There was no such thing as love
(Clarence Williams)
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
I can't buy no beer.
Well I'm standin' on a corner - With a bucket in my hand
I'm waitin' for a woman - That ain't got no man.
Cause My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
I can't buy no beer.
Well, I went upon the mountain - I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes - Doin' the be-bop-bee.
Well, there ain't no use - of me workin' so hard
When I got a woman - in the boss man'syard.
Well, me and my baby - we just bought a Ford
And now we sit together - on the running board.
Have you ever seen a heart
As it lays dyin'
While what's left of it's life
Slips away
Well, any tears that get shed
Ain't worth cryin'
'Cause I've seen plenty
I'm lucky that way.
Have you ever heard a voice
Start to moanin'
After despair's choked it's
Last words away
Well, any worse sound
Defies your ears even knowin'
And Lord, I've heard plenty
I'm lucky that way.
So wrap your warm arms around me
And let our weak hands deal out love's sad fate.
--- Instrumental ---
Then press your soft lips against me
And let the first bets on new love be made.
Have you ever watched a couple
Where one stands crying
While begging the other
To please stay
The awful truth is
It ain't worth the tryin'
Lord, I've watched plenty
I'm lucky that way.
Lord, I've watched plenty
I'm lucky that way.
I'm just passin' time
With everyone I meet
I'm just passin' time
As I wander through the street
I'm just passin' time
Wrestlin' with thoughts that fight my sleep
She left behind
I'm just passin' time.
I'm just passin' time
Inside these empty rooms
I'm just passin' time
Where small, lost hopes still loom
Just passin' time
Appears unlikely to heal any wounds
Of this kind
I'm just passin' time.
Time hangs around more everyday
While I keep searchin' for a place
That old thoughts might stay
And not just end up
Right back in my heart's way.
--- Instrumental ---
Time don't never answer nothing new
Least not here today
In any way that I could use
For figurin' out
What's left to lose.
I'm just passin' time
With everyone I meet
I'm just passin' time
As I wander through the street
I'm just passin' time
Wrestlin' with thoughts that fight my sleep
She left behind
I'm just passin' time...

Sun's goin' down, it's still a hundred an' three.
Drivin' 'cross the desert, down Highway fifteen.
There's no turnin' back now, got all that we need.
To a desert oasis, we're travelin', my baby an' me.
We're goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip,
Where the preacher looks like Elvis;
We could even strike it rich.
Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip.
Instrumental break.
Car's broken down, the side of the road,
How we got this far, God only knows.
Sold everything, don't need luxury.
Been livin' on good lovin', my baby an' me.
We're goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip,
Where the preacher looks like Elvis;
We could even strike it rich.
Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip.
Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel, (Goin' to the Little Chapel.)
On the Las Vegas strip.

Inside the pocket of a clown, Is a sad place to hang around,
Just watching smiles turn into frowns, inside the pocket of a clown.
Inside the heartache of a fool, you learn things they don't teach in school,
And lessons there can be real cruel, inside the heartache of a fool.
Hollow eyes, make a thin disguise, as little drops of truth,
fall from your eyes. (2 times)
Inside a memory from the past, lives every love that didn't last,
Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast, inside a memory from the past.
Its a real sad place to hang around, inside the pocket of a clown.
Here I sit all alone
Just a wonderin' why
You must have slipped out
While I was high
I know just how it feels
And I'm not blamin' you
Cause if I had to choice
I'd avoid me too
I've heard tell people say
I'm half worth nothin' at all
While that may not be true
Dead to rights
It sure ain't landin' far wrong
There's little question or none
Wasn't much you could do
And if I had the choice
I'd avoid me too
Now I'm having fears
And doubts
Right along with everyone else
And here lately I'm not so sure
I should even be seen
With myself
[But] here I sit all alone
Just a wonderin' why
I guess you slipped out
While I was high
I know just how it feels
And I'm not blamin' you
Cause if I had the choice
I'd avoid me too
If I had the choice
If I had the choice
If I had the choice,
I'd avoid me too
(Dwight Yoakam)
I wouldn't put it past me
I wouldn't press my luck
If I were you I don't believe
I'd take that chance with love
Chorus:
A big chance you'll be taking
The wrong odds is what you're staking us on
And any love you wind up making
Won't pay back half of all we've lost
I wouldn't play so boldly
Or push a sure thing too long
'Cause your luck can get thin, bets not win
Then pretty soon love's up and gone
Chorus:
A big chance you'll be taking
The wrong odds is what you're staking us on
And any love you wind up making
Won't pay back half of all we've lost
So, I wouldn't put it past me
I wouldn't keep risking heartache
In any more games like these
'Cause there's a way to lose hard with every card
You'll find out on your knees
Chorus:
A big chance you'll be taking
The wrong odds is what you're staking us on
And any love you wind up making
Won't pay back half of all we've lost
So, I wouldn't put it past me
I wouldn't put it past me
I wouldn't press my luck
If I were you I don't believe
I'd take that chance with love
Chorus:
A big chance you'll be taking
The wrong odds is what you're staking us on
And any love you wind up making
Won't pay back half of all we've lost
I wouldn't put it past me

I was there (I was there)
I was there (I was there)
When love crashed and burned
I was there.
I was there when love came around
With sweet, warm kisses
I was there when it burned into desire
I was there when it ran into a raging river
And then turned into a runaway wildfire.
I was there (I was there)
I was there (I was there)
When love came around
I was there.
And one thing certain
I did all the hurtin'
At love's final curtain
I was there.
--- Instrumental ---
I was there when love came in
Like a living tornado
And I was there when it blew out of control
I was there when something quickly turned into nothing
Just a hopeless, helpless dream gone up in smoke.
I was there (I was there)
I was there (I was there)

Does it show
As I watch her walking by
Does it show
That I'm trying not to cry
Does it show
That he's the reason why
Does it show
That every smile is a lie?
Does it show
Even when I'm discreet
Does it show
I'd fall right down at her feet
All on it's own
My heart lets me know
I'm loves biggest clown
Do you think that shows
Even when no one is around
Please tell me honestly
Am I fooling anyone
Or is the truth kinda hard not to see?
--- Instrumental ---
In ways that I'll never know
Does it show?
Please say it's not to late
So I can stop
While there's still time
And avoid at least
Some small bit of ache.
Does it show
With each flickering memory's final glow
As night's cold shadows wrap
Around where hope let go
And I sit there in the dark
Does it show?.
(Dwight Yoakam)
Come on Christmas
Please take me away
Keep me hidden safe
'Til January's second day
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
I'll wrap myself
Up in the cheer
That's so abundant
This time of year
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
Even though it's just September
I can forget to remember
All the empty nights
Still in my way
Come on Christmas
Embrace me with some joy
'Til the last few lonely moments
Of this year have been destroyed
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
I'll just let visions of the season
Blind these worn-out sights
Still in my mind
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
Come on Christmas
Chorus:
Bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those glue, grey mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
You just bury me along the Big Sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
This old town of sin, it's about to do me in
I don't know how much I can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand
Chorus:
Bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those glue, grey mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand
But now I've somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth in the teaching of my youth
And I that the Lord ain't turned away
Chorus:
Bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those glue, grey mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Under a blue Kentucky sky
It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones
The six children he raised are all weepin'
For this soft-spoken mountain man
Who fed them with the money he earned in those black mines
And the food he could raise with his hands
Chorus
Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom
Or the honest and simple things he did
There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today
That know about the humble way he lived
Chorus
Now this house in the holler stands empty
Though his presence in my memory is plain
You know that I'd swear that I just saw him walkin' up that hill
I guess this place just won't never be the same
Chorus
(dwight yoakam)
She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies
I never knew him but he took her away
On my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind
I searched till I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead
Soft clouds all drift away
Bright sunshine never stays
Warm afternoons turn rainy,
Dark and cruel.
A candle's glowing light will die
The purest voices often lie
And with love I've found
That all the same is true.
Even though I should know better
I guess we could maybe try
There is the risk
Of looking like a fool
But I've got a lucky feeling
Just a hunch, don't ask me why
You might be an exception
To the rule.
Sweet dreams can't be recalled
High hopes collapse and fall
As the sky keeps turning
Sadder shades of blue.
The strongest promise
Finally breaks
And only leads to bigger aches
Are lessons that I learned
At sorrow's school.
Even though
I should know better
I guess we could maybe try
There is the risk
Of looking like a fool
But I've got a lucky feeling
Just a hunch, don't ask me why
You might be an exception
To the rule.

I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep.
A statement that's been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin'
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay.
Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that it's a promise you can't keep.

I can see her right out my window
Walkin' on the street, my girl with another guy
His arms around her like it used to be with me
Hey man, it makes me want to die
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
There they go it's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me
Why can't I accept the fact that she's chosen him
And simply let them be
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, she's with him, he's turning out the lights
And now he's holding her the way I used to do
I can see her closing her eyes and telling the lies
Exactly like she told me too
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

They call me a playboy
As I'm making my rounds
Chasing the bright light
Of each night spot in town
Thought I never show it
My heart's breaking in two
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you
I once had a real love
That was when I had you
Now, I'll never feel love
With somebody new
This false front I'm wearing
Is just to cover my blues
They call me a playboy
Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Said find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
Guess they're right, it's wasting mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at 33
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long, you lose your life
Got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' town
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
She never had a mother
She hardly knew her dad
She's been in town for 18 years
And I'm the only boy she's had
Baby, I can't stay
Maybe I'll come back someday
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
Said she can't stay
You gonna be a lady someday
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't go
She gets to the city
Her tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
She's goin' away
Hey maybe she'll come back someday
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
I love you so
Oh, pretty baby please don't go

Hey baby, oh baby, please baby don't go
Well, I won't go, no
Pretty baby please don't go
I won't go, no
I love you so
Home for sale that's much too large
Too many rooms, big ole empty yard
Far more space than the owner needs
Price includes all memories
Home for sale, restored like new
Just a place two lives outgrew
A change in heart forces move away
Would like to keep but just can't stay
Listen close and you might hear the sound
Of what you think is rainfall leaking down
Roof is fine, set aside your fears
It's just a few remaining tears
Home for sale not all that old
Family's dream stands dark and cold
Scenic views that go for free
Of all the love that used to be
You keep calling me
On the telephone
You say, you're all alone
Well, that's really sad
You keep leavin'
Notes stuck on my door
Guess, you're hungry for some more
Girl that's too bad
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
Once there was this
Spider in my bed
I got caught up in her web
Of love and lies
She spun her chains
Around my heart and soul
Never to let go
But I survived
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
Nothing left
You can do to try and bring me 'round
'Cause everything you do
Just brings me down
Yeah
But I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No, I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
As you look into my eyes
And, tell those empty lies
I'll pretend they're true
'Cause that's what I do
As you sit and hold my hand
And, smile at other men
I'll pretend I'm blind
'Cause I'm just that kind
I'm a King of fools
An' I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain
The king of fools
Wears his crown
Where the misery can be found
I'm a King of fools
And I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain
The King of fools
Wears his crown
Where the misery can be found
As you walk away with him
And I lose in love again
I'll pretend to see
That you're still with me
But I'll be there all alone
Like a King upon a throne
'Cause I'm the King of fools
Yes I'm the King of fools
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Where did I go wrong?
You know I've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
Bad's the best that I can do
Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb that's gone astray
Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend I ever made
Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend I ever made
(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
So much for wishful thinkin'
So much for beginner's luck
It takes a lot to rock you baby
When it comes to love you're double tough
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Little things that used to please you
Are all the things that I do wrong
It takes a lot to rock you baby
Tried my damnedest all night long
My baby drives a big Rolls Royce
'Cause my baby says she got no choice
My baby wears big ol' diamond rings
'Cause my baby says she need them things
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
(Dwight Yoakam, Kostas)
I hear you walking across the floor
I think that I'm dreaming
'Til I hear you shut the door
I wake up crying and calling your name
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
The same old sun comes up to shine
On this old bed at the same old time
I tell myself he same old lie
I've got you off my mind
I feel your body lyin' next to mine
I reach out in the darkness
But you're not there for me to find
There's only sorrow, followed by pain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
I see your sweet lips softly kiss me goodbye
I taste the salt of my tear drops
As they fall down from my eyes
I take a deep breath
But it's only in vain
'Cause nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
No, nothing's changed here without you
And I start every day the same
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all that I have
I must have missed a couple days
Or just forgotten
What went wrong or where it all
Fell apart
And I now you must have told me
You were leavin'
It just never crossed my mind
You'd take my heart
There should be music
Sad, sad music
The kind the movies have
When love like ours goes bad
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all that I have
I'd swear that I woke up with you
This morning
But I can see that it's been days
Since you were here
Every night it still hits home
Without a warning
As my world becomes a flood
Of scalding tears
There should be music
Sad, sad music
As you walk away
Without looking back
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all that I have
Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms, sweet darlin' and stay?
You're always late with your kisses
Why, oh why do you want to do me this way?
How long do you think that I can wait
When you know you're always late?
Always late with your kisses
Why, oh why do you want to do me this way?
Always late, always late
Always late, always late
How long do you think that I can wait
When you know you're always late?
Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms sweet darlin' and stay?
You're always late with your kisses
Why, oh why do you want to do me this way?
(Alan Rose, Don Helms)
One day the train was passing, I caught it comin' by
To look this old world over, under God's blue sky
My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back
I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when I get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin', it helps me when I'm blue
I get the urge to travel, that's all I want to do
I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when I get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track
I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too
But she don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack
And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when I get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track
(Dwight Yoakam)
Runway Four, Flight 209
Teardrop falls, we start to climb
This window seat proved a poor choice
It shows the dream that's been destroyed
A little baby starts to cry
Hey, I would too, if not for pride
I owe so much to pride, it's true
It brought an end to me and you
Chorus:
But if I could, I'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'Cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
I hear the engines, watch the clouds
The whole damn world looks distant now
But I can't seem to put no space
Between my cold heart and your sweet face
Across the aisle they're holding hands
Revealing brand new wedding bands
But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust
Now my life has turned to dust
Chorus:
But if I could, I'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'Cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
All this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
(Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman)
Chorus:
Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done
You know I dated your big sister'
Oh, I took her to the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they slipped right out the door
Chorus:
Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done
I used to pull down on your pigtails
Hey girl, and pinch your turned up nose
Oh, but baby you been growin'
And lately it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes
Chorus:
Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister don't do what your big sister done
Every time I see your sister
Lord, she's with somebody new
Aw, she's mean and she's evil
Like a little ol' boll weevil
hink I'll try my luck with you
Chorus:
Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that it's nice and then you run
Hey, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
Well, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
Aw, little sister don't you do what your big sister done
(D. Yoakam)
Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me
Today I had another bout with sorrow
You know this time I almost won
If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow
I know that I'd have sorrow on the run
Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me
Your memory comes back up with each sunrise
I reach out for the bottle and find it's gone
Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leave me
To face this cold, cold world on my own
Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me
(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'Cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
Remember how you warned me
'Bout all your leavin' plans
Well I know this might seem unexpected
So prepare yourself
The best you can
Chorus:
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'Cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
Think back on when you threatened
And never left no doubt
Although this could be kinds sudden
I'm sure you can
Figure it all out
Chorus:
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'Cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
That'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone
(D. Yoakam)
Chorus:
Bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
This old town of sin, it's about to do me in
I don't know how much I can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand
Chorus:
So bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand
But now I've somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth in the teachings of my youth
And I know that the Lord ain't turned away
Chorus:
So Bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
Under a blue Kentucky sky
(Dwight Yoakam)
I've seen 'em watch you and
Make plans what they'll do when
Someday you are no longer mine
I've heard 'em carry on about
How when I'm finally gone they're
Gonna treat you oh so fine
But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I could have told them
You bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you for a prize
I could have told them
Those foolish soul'd men that
They'd never hold you if they tried Hey
I've been made real aware of
Pleasure that they'll share with
You soon as I slip your mind
I've listened to 'em boast how
I'll just be a ghost once
They start takin' up your time
But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried Hey
(Dwight Yoakam)
Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much
For me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way
To keep me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
Every morning, night and noon
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Won't even have to do much
For me to feel you
Are sincere you
Like a magnet pull so strong
It keeps me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
I could try to just lie
And tell people I'm free
Like a wave tellin' sand
It won't go back to the sea
But what I say doesn't do no good
Like I ever thought it would
Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much
For me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way
To keep me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
(Dwight Yoakam)
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
I tell myself each morning
That we're through
But every night I see
That it's not true
I run out
And track her down
Just so I can hang around
And cry
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
Come on heart let's make believe we're fine
We'll both agree the pain's just in our mind
I'll close my eyes and try not to hear
The things I'll say when she appears
To haunt me
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count my teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
You couldn't tell it by the smile
That my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count my teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
Oh every other now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know when you look at me
Those tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I probably lucky I'm alive
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count my teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
(Gene Autry, Oakley Haldman)
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pulling on the rein
Bells are ringing and children singing
All is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
(Raymond B. Evans, Jay Livingston)
City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day
I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street
Then he drew a dying breath
And laid his head against my chest
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie
Chorus
He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie
Chorus:
I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died
I sang Dixie as he died
(Dwight Yoakam)
She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies
I never knew him but he took her away
On my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind
I searched till I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead
[Spoken]
"Ah, this is just something I worked up.
I'll do it for you.
Maybe you like it, maybe you don't"
Hey girl, hey girl
You warned me to go
But girl, but girl
Little did I know
All the things you told me
About what lay in store
Would only make me want you more
No, not a word
Had one chance to save me
From your love
That wicked love
There's not a prayer
Left for me escaping
From your love
Yeah, that wicked love
Hey girl, hey girl
I begged and hollered please
But girl, but girl
Even from my knees
All the things you told me
About what lay in store
Only made me want you more
No pain can stop
Or rid me what I'm needing
From your love
That wicked love
'Cause what I crave all night
And end each day still seeking
Is your love
Yeah, that wicked love
Hey girl, hey girl
I tried to understand
But girl, but girl
There ain't no way I can
'Cause all the things you told me
About what lay in store
Only made me want you more
Yeah, all those things you told me
About what lay in store
We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We all got higher and higher every day
Come on wheels take this boy away
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
Come on wheels take me home today
So come on wheels take this boy away
When I feel my time is almost up
And destiny is in my right hand
I will turn to you who made my faith so strong
Come on wheels make this boy a man
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
Come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away
Don't you sleep
Don't you have a single moment's peace
Just walk through the darkness with fears that are deep
And don't you even sleep
Don't you smile
Don't you have happy thoughts for a while
'Til teardrops and sadness both go out of style
No, don't you even smile
These are the things, I wish for you
Deep in my heart, how I hope they come true
And then you'll know, when bad turns to worse
What it's like to live under love's curse
These are the things, I wish for you
Deep in my heart, how I hope they come true
And then you'll know, when bad turns to worse
What it's like to live under love's curse
Don't you try
To have a single thought that goes by
Without being haunted by memories like mine
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one through ninety-two
Although it's been said many times many ways
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
If it snows that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
But the wichita lineman
Is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Is still on the line
Still on the line
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line
We've agreed not to mention any memories
Or share a single passing thought
That's just better for all concerned is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
There's always hope but we don't ever let it show
'Cause hopes start out real small but how they just grow
And just like dreams are better left alone is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
Please never bring up how she used to laugh at night
Would smell so sweet and giggle when I squeezed her tight
If you can put a stop to that, there's a chance you might
Fit in here well enough to try this style of life
That's just better for all concerned is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
What I don't know
Might not hurt me
If I stay dumb
And no one tells
But if I find out
That you've been cheatin'
What I don't know
Might get you killed
Death row in prison
Don't look half as bad
As a life filled with
Heartache over you
So if you're a playin'
Those dirty little games
You better pray that I
Don't find out the truth
What I don't know
Might not hurt me
If I stay dumb
And no one tells
But if I find out
That you've been cheatin'
What I don't know
Might get you killed
Smith and Wesson juries
Hold a real mean, nasty court
And the verdict that
They pass is never slow
So keep on a wearin'
That little poker face
'Cause soon enough your cards
Are bound to show
What I don't know
Might not hurt me
If I stay dumb
And no one tells
But if I find out
That you've been cheatin'
What I don't know
Might get you killed
What I don't know
Please don't start me cryin'
'Cause I'll go on for days
If don't take a lot
But once this starts, it stays
Talking used to help
Here lately though
That just brings it on
I'll be fine in time
But right now, I'm just trying to forget you
And clearly I have yet to succeed
I think I'll just leave now
Before this hurts too much
Avoiding sights from places
My eyes can't bear to touch
I didn't plan to see you
And then I saw him first
I'll be fine in time
But right now, I'm just trying to forget you
"I walked in there," said Slim
Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm, pulled me aside
And said, "Kid, are you ready for the wild ride"
I looked up, there she stood, I said
"If you didn't look so great, I'd say you look good"
Oh, she took her hand, ran it up my thigh
And said, "Cowboy you ready for the wild ride"
Come on now, junior, take a wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
Out on the highway, I saw my mind
In tiny little pieces thrown from side to side, yeah
My heart was shattered along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride
Come on now, junior, take a wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Crawlin' 'cross the floor, yeah, trying to leave, yeah
Felt something tuggin' what was left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a gold-plated vibe
Say, "I bought a ticket for the wild ride"
Come on now, junior, take the wild ride
See can we make it on the wild ride
Don't try to shake it on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
Yeah, could you take me on the wild ride?
See can you meet me on the wild ride
Hey baby, shake me on the wild ride
Think you might break me on the wild ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Wild ride
Wild ride
Wild ride
Two doors down, there's a jukebox
That plays all night long
Real sad songs
All about me and you
Two doors down, there's a barmaid
That serves 'em real strong
Here lately
That's how I make it through
Two doors down, there's a heartache
That once was my friend
Two doors down, there's a memory
That won't ever end
Two doors down, there's a barstool
That knows me by name
We sit there together
Wait for you
Two doors down, there's a bottle
Where I take out my shame
And hold it up
For the whole world to view
Two doors down, there's a pay phone
But no calls come in
Two doors down, there's a memory
That won't ever end
From the hotel to the barroom
Is just a stumble and a fall
And sometimes, when it gets bad
I've been known to crawl
Freedom from sorrow
Is just two doors away
I'll escape for a short time
But I know I can't stay
Two doors down
Is where they'll find me
You're finally through
Taking what's left of my life
Two doors down
Is where they'll leave me
When payment comes due
For the hours I've spent there each night
Two doors down, I'll be forgotten
But until then
Two doors down, there's a memory
Well I’m back again for another night
Of trying to break free from the sadness that I can’t lay to rest
This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home
And the music with the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memory that’s driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up turn me loose
Now if a tear should fall, if I should whisper her name
To some stranger I’m holdin’ while we’re dancin’ to an old Buck Owen’s song
I know she won’t mind, she won’t even know
She’ll be dancing with a memory, crying teardrops of her own
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memory that driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me to forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memory that’s driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me to forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
I've been trying for so long
And this trying just goes on
As I keep trying to hold on
To my heart
To my heart
I've been waiting here for you
And the waiting still ain't through
Guess waiting for what the end may do
To my heart
To my heart
But you and I could still try be
Every hole and wish that we dared to dream
So I keep trying every day
And if hurt from trying gets in my way
Then that's the part I just try not to say
To my heart
To my heart
But you and I could still try to be
Every hole and wish we dared to dream
I've been trying for so long
And this trying just goes on
As I keep trying to hold on
To my heart
Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And I won't act so weak
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You walk in and steal my mind
Oh, but who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You throw away each night
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You make it hard on me
Oh, but I'll try to pretend
That you're jut a lovesick dream
That always has to end
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
Try not to look so pretty
If deep in the night
You hear a voice calling
Lost and alone
Barely able to speak
With each weary step
Through cold shadow they stumble
Blindly along
Frail, hopeless and weak
Won't you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
At dawn's rise you may find
The footprints of angels
Brought the fellowship there
By your mercy lamp's flame
Walking beside
The weary soul life's forgotten
Bringing comfort and love
And gently leading their way
Won't you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
Won't you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end
The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again
Together again
The gray skies are gone
You're back in my arms
Now where you belong
The love that I knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters
We're together again
No, nothing else matters
She said, baby things change
I said, but I feel the same
She said, well let me explain
Baby, how things can change
I said, but that doesn't show
How a love that could grow
Would become so estranged
she said, well baby, things change
She said, na, na, na, na, na, now, now, baby, don't try
To figure this out, or ask questions 'bout why
Forever's a promise no love can survive
And trust with hearts just don't apply
She said, 'cause baby, things change
Na, na, na, na, na, now, now, so baby, I quite tryin'
To figure things out about all your heart's lyin'
Forever's a promise we couldn't survive
Hey, I may be slow, but I ain't blind
She said, I still love you so
I said, I don't care to know
She said, you once cried my name
I said, well baby, things change
And let's don't go placing no blame
'Cause you know things can change
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
She said, you once cried my name
To the Lord's defenders at the last surrender
Granted passage to the other side
Where he shall cherish in his name those who've perished
And embrace with everlasting life
To each heart that is tendered at the last surrender
A home is promised with him to abide
Where he shall cherish in his name those who've perished
And embrace with everlasting life
There be redeemed to dwell in fear no more
Free the bondage of this lost world's strife
Knowing he shall cherish in his name those who've perished
And embrace with everlasting life
And there be redeemed to dwell in fear no more
Free the bondage of this lost world's strife
Knowing he shall cherish in his name those who've perished
And embrace with everlasting life
To the Lord's defenders at the last surrender
Granted passage to the other side
Where he shall cherish in his name those who've perished
Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again, hey girl
Well, I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well, I know that the neighbors are all a-talkin'
They swear that I have lost my mind
Ah, but they do not know that I've just gained control
Of all the heartache that you left behind
Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again, oh girl
Well, I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well, I know that the boss is gonna fire me
When I stumble in late to work again
Oh, but surprise will replace that old scowl on his face
When he sees that I do not give a damn
Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again, hey girl
Well, I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well, I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin'
Since I started drinkin'
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
I just want a chance to be myself
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
Hey you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
I spent sometime in San Francisco
I spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving
And I headed out for Bakersfield
Hey you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Hey you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judge me
If you ever get south of Cincinnati, down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon, to the home you left so long ago
If you ever get south of the Ohio River, down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati, I'll be yours again
She pulled the letter from the pages of her bible
And a rose pressed inside the book of Luke
For fourteen years she'd write each day, but keep it hidden
Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote
If you ever get south of Cincinnati, down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon, to the home you left so long ago
If you ever get south of the Ohio River, down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati, I'll be yours again
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send

Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
You come back I promise I'll be good
You come home, baby, I'll act like I should
I laughed when you packed your bags and told me goodbye
I hollered, "I don't need you," oh but honey, that's a lie
Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
You come back I promise I'll be good
You come home, baby, I'll act like I should
If you don't come home dear, I know I'll go insane
Sweetheart, I plead guilty, darlin', I'll take all the blame
Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
You come back I promise I'll be good
You come home, baby, I'll act like I should
Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
You come back I promise I'll be good
You come home, baby, I'll act like I should
You come home, baby, I'll act like I should
One more night and I know
That I'll be over you
Yeah, one more night and I know
Ah, that the worst is through
And if I can make this heart
Just believe it too
Then one more night and I know
That I'll be over you
One more night and I know
That I'll forget your voice
Yeah, one more night and I know
That I can make that choice
And ignore the awful sounds
That come when love's destroyed
Because one more night and I know
That I'll forget your voice
I'll escape it, if I learn to take it
And just survive two or three
Of the next million thoughts
That I have about you and me
I'll escape it, if I learn to take it
And just survive two or three
Of the next million thoughts
That I have about you and me
One more night, one more night
Yeah, one more night, oh, one more night
Oh, one more, one more night
One more, one more, one more night
Yeah, one more night, one more
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
To look at you and me, no one would ever know
The pain that I've endured 'cause I won't let it show
My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew
The truth about how I am just your lovesick fool
'Cause you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue
But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you
There've been rumors of the truth but I've kept it quiet
'Cause I'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
Well together we stand divided we fall
Come on now people let's all get on the ball
Let's work together
Come on, come one, let's work together
Here here now because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Make someone happy now, make someone smile
Let's all work together and make life worthwhile
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Here now because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road that you travel seems all up hill
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Now people because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Two or three minutes, two or three hours
What does it matter in this life of ours
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Now people because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Together we stand divided we fall
Come on now people let's all get on the ball
Let's work together
Come on, come one, let's work together
Now people because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Yeah together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Oh I said together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Yeah together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
She had left him lost and broken like no other had before
Now his heart was just a token of the pain it had endured
And his memories were clouded with all the hurtful things she'd said
Yes, for all intent and purpose he might just as well been dead
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
"Hey, hey, Maureen", swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night, oh, and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago but around here
Mr. Johnson's love lives on
He seemed far away and distant with that cold and silent stare
Never moving, never speaking and just barely breathing air
No one really knew her reason and who can judge her right or wrong
The only true and solemn fact is the man we'd known was all but gone
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
"Hey, hey, Maureen", swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night, oh, and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago but around here
Mr. Johnson's love lives on
Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him late that night on Shelby road
About a mile from there they found him, it seems he'd died out in the snow
I hear'd the preacher at the service say, "From love he's finally free"
But I say love, it knows no season, it haunts the soul eternally
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
"Hey, hey, Maureen", swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night, oh, and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago but around here
Mr. Johnson's love lives on
Yes, his body died some years ago but around here
I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets
Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet
I pull you close without a word 'cause there's no need to speak
Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat
But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Hey, please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase
The memory of any other's face
And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace
And lose all track of time without a trace
But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Hey, please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks
Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts
As I turn to leave, I know you had what so many lack
Maybe some day that'll bring me back
But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Hey, please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
And I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Hey, please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
I was just standing alone in this room
Surrounded by memories, we stopped making too soon
Woah I was just standing and I was just standing alone in this room
Alone in this room
And I was just thinking all to myself
How I still want you oh and nobody else
Woah, woah I was just thinking
'Cause I was just thinking, all to myself, all to myself
In this darkness I move slowly
Always struggling to be free
But I still hear your voice
And everywhere I see the choice
Made such a fool of me
Oh, woah I was just standing alone in this room
Surrounded by memories we stopped making too soon
Woah I was just standing
Well, I was rollin' down the road
In some cold blue steel
I had a blues man in back
And a beautician at the wheel
We going downtown
In the middle of the night
We're laughing and I'm jokin'
And we feelin' alright
Cause, I'm bad, girl, I'm nationwide
Yes, I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide
Easin' down the highway
In a new Cadillac
I had a fine fox in front
I had three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses
Wearin' spike-heel shoes
They smokin' lucky strikes
And wearing nylons too
'Cause we bad, we nationwide
Yeah we bad, yeah, we nationwide
'Cause I'm bad, girl we're nationwide
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide
Well, I was movin' down the road
In my V-8 Ford
I had my boots shined up
And my sideburns lowered
With my New York brim
And my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble
'Cause they know I got it made
'Cause I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide
