1.A Few Old Memories
Just a few old memories
Slipped in through my door
Though i thought i had closed it
So tightly before
I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well i'm surprised they're still left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well i can hardly remember
I don't know why i'm cryin'
I can't understand it
Well i'm surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'll clean off that shelf
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well i'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
2.Cash On The Barrelhead
I got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lord, they put me in the jailhouse
For loafing on the street
Well, the judge said guilty
He made his point
He said fourty-five dollars
Or thirty days in the joint
That'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun
You can take your choice
You're twenty-one
No money down
No credit plan
No time to chase you
Cause i'm a busy man
I found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good, hardy jailor
With a six gun hip
He let me call long distance
She said, 'number, please'
And just as soon as i told her
She shouted back at me
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun
Not part, not half
But the entire sum
No money down
No credit line
Cause a little boy tells me
You're the travelin' kind
Thirty days in the jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feelin' mighty hungry
My feet, a heavy load
I saw a greyhound comin'
Stuck out my thumb
As soon as i was seated
The driver caught my arm
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun
This old, grey dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts
And the wheels will roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead
I take ya down the road
Ohh, cash on the barrelhead
I take you down the road
3.Endless Stream Of Tears
I cry awake at night and hug my pillow
And pray that i will die before i wake
No such luck
Another day of cryin'
Don't know how much more my old heart can break
Flooded with these memories and emotions
The tears like rain keep on falling down
They say that i'll forget
But my face is just as wet
As it was the day you left this town
Chorus：
Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears
It's relentless and i'm defenseless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears
I can't believe that i can talk about it
I never thought i'd live to see this day
But a broken heart won't kill you
You just want to die
But you have to go on livin' anyway
I feel it through and through
And i've never been so blue
And i cried a river over you
Repeat chorus
Oh, i'm drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless stream of tears
4.I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open
I just found out today
The little game you play
While i been sleepin' all my life away
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Chorus：
From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
There's a honky-tonk down the road
Just about a mile or so
And i understand that's where you spend your time
Baby, i got news for you
Your little game is through
Yeah, from now on baby
You better tow the line
Repeat chorus
You thought you were bein' smart
Breaking my little heart
And leavin' me to spend my time alone
Well you'll find out today
It just don't work that way
You've started a little game that two can play
From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
But you better sleep with one eye open from now on
Yeah an' i'm gonna sleep with eye open from now on
5.I Am Ready
I am ready
Oh, my children
When jesus knocks at my door
I'll be there come morning
Don't weep for me
I'll be with my lord
There's my bible on the table
Read it to me once more
I can hear god's heavenly angels
Singing me on through heaven's door
Hallelujah lord
I am ready
No more sorrow
Hallelujah, yes
I am ready, i am ready
I am ready to go
Oh, hosanna
Take my hand now
Lead me to the promised land now
I am ready, i am ready
Hallelujah, i am ready to go
Oh, hosanna
I am ready to go
I can hear god's heavenly angels
Singing me on through heaven's door
Singing me on through heaven's door
And i am ready
6.I Still Miss Someone
At my door the leaves are fallin'
A cold wild wind will come
Sweet hearts walked by together
And i still miss someone
I go out to a party
And look for a little fun
But i find a darkened corner
Cause i still miss someone
Chorus：
Oh i never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
Repeat chorus
And i wonder if he's sorry
For leaving what we begun
Guess there's someone for me somewhere
Aw, but i still miss somone
7.I Wonder Where You Are Tonight
Tonight my heart is sad and weary
Wonderin' if i'm wrong or right
I dream about you though you've left me
I wonder where you are tonight
Chorus：
The rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though you're love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight
It's spring, the birds are gaily singing
The trees are blossoming so sweet
No other love was quite so happy
No other love was so complete
Repeat chorus
Then came the dawn the day you left me
I tried to smile with all my might
But you could see the pain within me
It still lingers in my heart tonight
Oh, the rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though you're love is even colder
I wonder where you are tonight
8.Silver Dagger
Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
In her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that i can't be your bride
All men are fools
So says my mother
They'll tell you again
Love and lies
And then they'll go
And court someother
Leave you alone to pine inside
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
On every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhh
Go court another tender maiden
In hopes that she might be your wife
For i've been warned so i decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life, ohh...
Beware, beware, a silver dagger
9.Steady As The Rain
Raindrops tumble to the ground
Making puddles all around
Drops of rain that look like tears
Fall on my window pane
Raindrops seem to harmonize
With teardrops falling from my eyes
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that cannot wash away the pain
Sometimes without knowing it
I touch my face and find it wet
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
I can't face the fact that
I am not important in your life
Once you lived for rollin' me
And then your feelings changed
There's just no gettin' over you
I try so hard, but it's no use
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
Raindrops just keep falling down
Beatin' out their rhythmic sounds
Dancin' as they play their sweet refrain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and i start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain
Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that just won't wash away the pain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and i start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain
10.The Grass Is Blue
I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over
Told me good-bye
I just can't make it one day without you
Unless i pretend that the opposite's true
Rivers flow backwards
Valleys are high
Mountains are level
Truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine
And i don't miss you
The sky is green
And the grass is blue
How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow
Just cross over it
And into that realm of insanitive bliss
There's snow in the tropics
There's ice on the sun
It's hot in the arctic
And crying is fun
And i'm happy now
And i'm glad we're through
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
And the rivers flow backwards
And my tears are dry
Swans hate the water
And eagles can't fly
But i'm alright now
Now that i'm over you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
And i don't love you
And the grass is blue
11.Train, Train
Train, train
Gonna take him on out of this town
Train, train
Gonna take him on out of this town
Yeah, that man i'm in love with
Lord, he's memphis bound
He's leavin' here
Like a raggedy old coat
Oh, he's leavin' me
That no good so-and-so
Yeah, that man i'm in love with
Lord, he wants to go
Let him go
Good-bye, good-bye
I'll find myself another man
Good-bye, good-bye
I'll find myself another man
You take that night train to memphis
Me, i'll make new plans
Take that night train to memphis
Oh leave while you can
12.Travelin' Prayer
Hey lord, take a look on around tonight
And find out where my baby's gonna be
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
For he is far away from me
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's gonna be alright
Things gonna be alright with me
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
And make sure all his dreams are sweet
Send down that ya got him on the road
But you'll make it softer for his feet
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's gonna be alright
'til he's home and here with me
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
For he is sleeping under the sky
Hey lord, make sure the ground he's sleepin' on
Is always warm and dry
Ooo, don't give him too much pain
And keep him away from planes
Cause my baby hates to fly
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
For it gets rough along the way
And if it all sounds strange
Just because i don't know how to pray
Ooo, won't you give him peace of mind
And if you ever find the time
Tell him i miss him everyday
Hey lord, take a look on around tonight
And find out where he's gonna be
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
For he is far away from me
Hey lord, would ya look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's gonna be alright
'til he's home and here with me
Here with me
13.Will He Be Waiting For Me
I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
The road that led me out of his life
I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder
The day that i told him good-bye
I never should'a left him
Never should'a gone
Oh what a crazy fool i've been
Chorus：
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
And will he take me back again
2nd chorus：
He will be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died
He will be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Or will i find that this time
I'll be the one to cry
Shadows from the trees
Shade the path that i am walkin'
As i make my way back up that windy road again
The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume
My heart beats faster as i near my journey's end
I wonder if he missed me
Wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Oh how i hope he will
Repeat 2nd chorus twice
Tag：
Cry, mmmm
