1.Queen Of The Silver Dollar
(shel silverstein)
She arrives in all her splendor
Each night at nine o'clock
Her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
And the queen of the silver dollar's home again
She's the queen of the silver dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin？？to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the silver dollar home
Now her royal dress is satin
It's shabby and it's torn
The royal jewels are rhinestones
The shoes are scuffed and worn
Of the many roads she's been down,
And the places that she's seen
Well they all look at her and say god save the queen
Now the queen of the silver dollar
Is not as haughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
But there's a man who found her
And he brought her to this world
He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl
Yes i'm the queen of the silver dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the silver dollar home
Yes i'm the queen of the silver dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the silver dollar home
2.For No One
(john lennon／paul mccartney)
The day breaks your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
She no longer needs you
She wakes up she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you
She goes out you stay home
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
Your day breaks your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said
Will fill your head
You won't forget her
3.Coat Of Many Colors
(dolly parton)
Back through the years i go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And i didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that i was so proud of
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And i just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a
kiss
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh i was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, i hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
Oh, i couldn't understand it, for i felt i was rich
And i told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And i told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their
clothes
They didn't under stand it and i tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now i know we have no money, but i'm as rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me
4.Sleepless Nights
Through the sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will brake my heart in two
Somehow, through the day
I don't give in
I hide the tears
That wait within
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart again
Why did you go？
Oh, why did you go？
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you？
Through the sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Oh, oh, oh, oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Oh, oh, oh, oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
5.The Bottle Let Me Down
(merle haggard)
Each night i leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let down
And let you memory come around
The one true friend i thought i'd found
Tonight the bottle let down
I've always had a bottle i could turn to
And lately i've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
And i'm hurting in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let down
And let you memory come around
The one true friend i thought i'd found
Tonight the bottle let down
6.Before Believing
(danny flowers)
Winter summer seasons is taken over it's quiet
Like new fallen snow
I told you summer stories but outside is getting mighty cold
I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could
How would you feel if the world was falling apart around you
Pieces of the sky were falling in your neighbors yard
But not on you
Wouldn't you feel just a little bit funny
Think maybe there's something you oughta do
Solutions that never lay down before you the answers are all
around
Believing is all the friend you need to talk to
Believing in you
I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could
I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could
7.Boulder To Birmingham
(emmylou harris／bill danoff)
I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And i know there's life below
But all that it can show me
Is the prairie and the sky
And i don't want to hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
The last time i felt like this
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
And i stood on the mountain in the night and i watched it burn
I watched it burn, i watched it burn.
I would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
If i thought i could see, i could see your face.
Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing i'll survive.
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety five
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what i mean
I would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
If i thought i could see, i could see your face.
8.If I Could Only Win Your Love
(ira louvin／charlie louvin)
If i could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away
If i could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much i give
If i could only win your love
Oh how can i ever say
How i crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can i ever show
How i burn inside when you hold me tight
If i could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much i give
If i could only win your love
Oh how can i ever say
How i crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can i ever show
How i burn inside when you hold me tight
If i could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much i give
If i could only win your love
9.Too Far Gone
(billy sherill)
I know that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And i hate to say it, but you have a right to be free
I know that's the way it should be
But i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone
If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you
'cause i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I love you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone
10.Bluebird Wine
(rodney crowell)
Baby brought me in out off the highway
Made me put my money in the bank, bank
Straightened out my crooked way of thinking
Made it purely pleasure when i drank
And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine
Baby taught me a diff'rent way of thinkin'
Like how to spend my evenings here at home
List'ning to the music on the radio
Drinking all the bluebird we can hold
And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine
Baby says he'd really love a party
We'll get some friends together feelin' fine
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's bluebird wine
And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine
