1.Tolivar
Love has wings and flies through windows
Opening unopened doors
Sending light to darkened corners
Lit by loneliness before
But love is just a word for feeling
There is really no word for love
And because our love was special
We called our love tolivar
Tolivar, tolivar, we would shout to every wind
Really knowing, it was going, places we'd not seen or been
Love is just a word for feeling
There is really no word for love
And because our love was special
We called our love tolivar
Tolivar, tolivar, we would shout to every wind
Really knowing, it was going, places we'd not seen or been
Love is just a word for feeling..
2.By The Time I Get To Phoenix
By the time i get to phoenix, she'll be risin'
She'll find the note i left hangin' on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part that says i'm leavin'
'cause i left that girl so many times before
By the time i make albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all
By the time i make oklahoma, she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think i'd really leave her
Though time and time i've tried to tell her so
Oh, she didn't know
I would really go
I would really go...
3.What I'd Give To Be The Wind
I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground
And blow along the sidewalks of this town
I can see the wind as it blew her hair
Time and time again
Oh what i'd give lord to be the wind
Oh what i'd give to be the wind
To be free to leave this awful place i'm in
It's hopeless 'cos i haven't got a penny
Or a friend
Oh what i'd give lord to be the wind
This same wind tomorrow will be gone
To blow across the cottonfields of home
It will gently touch the lovely face i long to touch again
Oh what i'd give lord to be the wind
Oh what i'd give to be the wind...

4.Gentle On My Mind
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free
to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and
stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing i'm not shacked by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns
now that binds me
Or somethin' that somebody said because they thought we fit
together walking
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursing or
forgiving
When i walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman cryin' to her mother cause she turned and i
was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might burn me till i'm blind
But not to where i cannot see you walking on the back roads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron in
some train yard
My beard a roughen coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across
my face
Through cupped hands round a tin can i pretend i hold you to my
breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my
memory
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
5.With Pen In Hand
With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five i'll be on that train
And you'll be free and i will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think i can make everything up to you
Then i'll be gone and you'll be on your own
On your own
Can you take good care of johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullies away
Can you teach him how
To whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the man in the moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where i laid my head
With your heart on fire will you have no desire to kiss me
And to hold me
And if you can forget all the good times we had
If you can think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and i'll be on my way
On my way
6.12th Of Never
You ask how much i love you must i explain
I need you oh my darling like roses need rain
You ask how long i'll love you i'll tell you true
Until the 12th of never i'll still be loving you
Hold me close never let me go
Hold me close melt my heart like april snow
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the 12th of never and that's a long long time
Until the 12th of never and that's a long long time
7.Less Of Me
Let me be a little kinder
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me
Let me praise a little more
Let me be when i am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others
And a little less of me
Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waiver
Let me try a little harder
To be all that i should be
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me
Let me be when i am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Let me serve a little better
Those that i am striving for
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker
Think a litle more of others
And a little less of me
8.My Elusive Dreams
You followed me to texas you followed me to utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
Then you went with me to alabam
Things look good in birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
You had my child in memphis
Then i heard of work in nashville
But we didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in nebraska
To a gold mine in alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
Now we've left alaska because there was no gold mine
This time only two of us moved on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
9.Little Green Apples
And i wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and
she says hi
And i stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going
off to school, goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it and says
how you feeling hon？
And i look across at smiling lips that warm my heart, and see my
morning sun.
And if that's not loving me, then all i've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in
indianapolis in the summer time.
And there's no such thing as dr. seuss or disney land and mother
goose, no nursery rhymes.
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in
indianapolis in the summer time.
And when myself is feeling low, i think about her face and go
and ease my mind.
Sometimes i call her up, at home, knowing she's busy.
And ask her if she can get away, meet me and maybe we can grab a
bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doing and she hurries down to meet me,
and i'm always late.
But she sits waiting patiently, and smiles when she first sees
me, because she's made that way.
And if that ain't loving me, then all i've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't snow in
minneapolis when the winter comes.
And there's no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs or autumn
leaves, no bb guns.
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't snow in
minneapolis when the winter comes.
10.Honey
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too
long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted
it was just a twig
The first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it
wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and
i laughed till i cried
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart i loved
her so
And i surprised her with a puppy kept me up all christmas night
two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when i came in from working late
cause i would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly
late late show
And honey i miss you and i'm being good and i'd love to be with
you if only i could
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that i'd be
mad
But what the heck
Though i pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw
through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her crying needlessly in the
middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins
sing she went away
And honey i miss you and i'm being good and i'd love to be with
you if only i could
One day when i wasn't home when she was there and all alone the
angels came
Now all i have is memories of honey and i wake up nights and
call her name
Yes now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey
played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower
bed that honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been
too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted
it was just a twig
11.Dear Heart
Dear heart wish you were here
To warm this night
Dear heart seems like a year
Since you've been out of my sight
A single room
A table for one
It's a lonesome town alright
But soon i'll kiss you hello
At our front door
And dear heart i want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
