1.Not Fade Away
2.Little Angel
3.Mama Tried
The first thing i remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle
blowin',
And a youngun's dream of growin' up to ride,
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where i'm bound.
And no one could change my mind but mama tried.
One and only rebel child from a fam'ly meek and mild
My mama seemed to to know what lay in store,
'spite all my sunday learnin' towards the bad i kept on turnin',
'til mama couldn't hold me anymore.
And i turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole,
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading i denied
And that leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
Dear ole' daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load,
She tried so very hard to feel his shoes,
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but i refused.
And i turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole,
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied
And that leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
4.One Good Love
5.Losin' You
6.I Fought The Law
7.Mother Of The Bride
I hired the band, you planned the buffet line
The food and the music would be grand
You fought with our daughter
Over what color oughta be featured in pastel chiffon
We rented the elk's club and decked it in palm trees affecting a
tropical air and you and i set aside what separates us
As we celebrate the wedding of our child our friends filled the
hall and brought their presents wanted our little girl to have
enough to feather a nest and start a family the kids must feel
this
Ouring of love i just hope that thse frieds and this family will
keep our baby in their thoughts and we'll be there in years to
come to help them use up and eat off all the stuff they brought
wi
Ep our baby in theri thoughts
So dance wth me, mother of the bride and stand strong against me
at my side take a look with joy and wonder as our daughter and
her man take the floor we really want them to be happy as they
can
Eze my hand and whisper earnestly that you hope they avoid all
the pain that we went through i agree that they'll be lucky and
it's the truth if he loves her half as much as i love you as
papa i
Dly waltz 'round with the bride but one dance with her won't be
enough, dear i gave her away on the hillside this morning but
its not that easy giving her up
So dance with me mother of the bride
Cheek to cheek so she won't know that i have cried take a look
with joy and wonder take the floor we want em to be happy as
squeeze my hand and whisper earnestly that you hope they avoid
all the
That we went through and i agree if he loves her half as much as
i love you if he loves her 1／2 as much as i love you
8.Don't Underestimate Love
9.What'll You Do About Me
All you wanted was a one night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But i fell in love and ruined all of your plans
So what'll you do about me？
Imagine the faces on your high class friends
When i beat on the door and i beg to come in
Screaming 'come on, love me again'
What'll you do about me？
You can change your number,
You can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
That's all right mama that's ok
What'll you do about me
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good old boy standing out in the rain
With his nose on the windowpane
Lady, what'll you do about me？
And what in the world are you planning to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And i'm on the porch with a 2 by 2
Tell me what'll you do about me
You can call your lawyer
You can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake the neighbors up
There ain't no way to stop a man in love
What'll you do about me
All you wanted was a one night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But i fell in love and baby here i am
What'll you do about me？
You can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
Thats all right mama that's ok
But what'll you do about
What'll you do about me
What'll you do about me
10.The Dream
His fastball is fading, his sinker is gone,
They sent him doun to the minors 'cause he wore out his arm,
But his eyes shine brighter than the young kids' it seems
So he keeps on playing, holding on to the dream.
Lord knows that it ain't for the money
Cause he's broke almost every day,
And it ain't for the fame or the glory
Guess he'll do it cause he still loves to play
Guess he'll do it cause he still loves to play.
He's been in the saddle since he was a kid
The rodeo came but he keeps it well hid
And someday he'll have to set his pony free
But 'til he does he'll be riding the dream.
Lord knows that it ain't for the money,
'cause he's broke almost every day,
And it ain't for the fame or the glory
Guess he'll do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess he'll do it, cause he still loves to play.
We ain't getting no younger and that is the truth
But these games we keep playin,' they're our fountain of youth.
From boston to boulder and down to orleans
From highlights to lowlife and everything in between
Well i guess we could grow up and quit wearing our jeans
But we still feel like playing and living the dream.
Lord knows that it ain't for the money,
'cause he's broke almost every day,
And it ain't for the fame or the glory
Guess he'll do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess he'll do it, cause he still loves to play.
