1.Della's Long Brown Hair
A successful operation
I cut my conscience loose for a while
Was no ticklish situation
The girl just made me smile
She said she didn't love me
I said I didn't care
Then I became entangeled
In Della's long brown hair
Well the time before the last time
Is the sweetest time you know
So I stayed till it was past time
And I knew I had to say goodbye and go
Then I kissed her for the last time
She was leanin' down the stairs
And I felt it fall around me
Della's long brown hair
2.All That I Had Left (Left With You)
I can see it in your eyes
Hear it when you speak my name
It's been comin' on so long
But you're not the one to blame
Stayin' longer than was in your heart
Just to keep from hurtin' me
You hid your feelin's very well
It took me long enough to see
Six years ago
I took you for my wife
Our savin' everything
You gave me your life
My best was all I could offer you
You needed more, I know
You coulda done better
With someone else
But you never let it show
You were all I had left
And now you're leavin' me too
I'd like to say
Don't go away
All that I had left,
Left with you
You know a man can always tell
When his love's growin' cold
And the woman lyin' next to him
In his arms so cold
Rememberin' the man she once had loved
Who she could never doubt
Rememberin' how it use to be
And what it's turned to now
You were all I had left
And now you're leavin' me too
I'd like to say
Don't go away
All that I had left,
Left with you
Honey, all that I had left
Left with you
3.Rodrigo, Rita and Elaine
Lone wolf：by the light of the moon I was watching last night
A scene that unfolded in the pale clear light
Two hot blooded women one blonde one tan
Stood in the darkness and fought about a man
Rita：'Rodrigo is my life please don't take him away
I can't live without him' I heard Rita say
'And if I can't live with him I'll be damned if you will
Stay away from Rodrigo ot be killed.'
Lone wolf： the blonde's name was Elaine she was Roger's legal
wife
He'd married her in a younger time of life
A home and three childreen he'd all left behind
Along with his name when he crossed the borderline
Elaine： 'Roger is my husband you can't have him now
I just want him back I don't love him anyhow
And I know that you do but I just don't care
Stay away from my husband or beware
Lone wolf： by the light of the moon I was watching last night
One wanted love one just wanted spite
They stood and they fought by the side of the road
And they waited until morning
But Rodrigo never showed
4.King of the Cowboys
I used to watch you
When I was little
The games I played
I learned from you
I kept dreaming
You kept playing
When I woke you were 62
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
First and last of a
Dying breed
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life
He doesn't lead
You told the truth
You were always ready
Whether with your gun
Or with your hand
It was lies
But I never knew it
You taught me how to
Act like a man
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
First and last of a
Dying breed
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life
He doesn't lead
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
First and last of a
Dying breed
Say goodbye to the
King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life
He doesn't lead
5.Third Rate Romance
Sittin' at a tiny table
In a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup
He was tryin' to keep his courage up
By applying booze
The talk was small
When they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scoff it out
And keep it loose
She said, you don't look like my type
But I guess you'll do
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
He said, I'll even tell you
That I love you
If you want me to
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And they left the bar
They got in his car
And they drove away
He drove to the Family Inn
She didn't even have to pretend
She didn't know what for
Then he went to the desk
And made his request
While she waited outside
And he came back with the key
And she said, give it to me
And I'll unlock the door
She kept sayin'
I've never really done
This kind of thing before
Have you
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, yes I have
But only a time or two
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
6.I Pity the Mother and the Father (When The Kids Move Away)
I pity the mother and the father when the children are gone
Their life work complete still they must carry on
So many families separated today
And I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
CHORUS： 1
No welfare check - or government plan
Can ease the pain in the heart of a lonely man
Or a lonely woman who gave her all that you might live today
Yes I pity the mother and the father
when the kids move away
In the oiden days a family never strayed far from home
One or two might move away but the rest would carry on
But we're scattered to the winds in this old world today
And I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
They wanted so bad for you to have it good
Didn't give you everything - but they did the best they could
And they know that you must move away with a family of your own
Still I pity the mother and the father
When the children are gone
No miracle drug in a nursing home
Can say I love you mama and daddy
When you're all alone
To a man or woman who gave their all
That you' might live today
Yes I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
When the kids move away
7.Last Letter Home
I have heard the cannons thundering all night
And i cannot sleep for wondering why's a rebel's cause so right
And the morphine seems to do no good at all
And i would run away it i would not fall
I joined the southern cavalry for fun
And i had rode a thousand horses
Always had a way with a gun
Now i'm among the horseless riders lying still
Swallowed up by the cause on the widows hill
And i dreamed about a rose in a spanish garden
And i kissed you and i placed it in your hair
And if i'm ever on my feet again i will
And i will run all the way just to meet you there
Through the day i watched those southern boys go down
And they lay like georgia peaches bruised and broken on the
ground
Through the night i wondered was it worth the pain
And i cried not revenge i called your name
Repeat chorus
8.Out of the Snow
Go away, go away, you cold north wind
Blowin' my muffler 'round and 'round
Your white powder blows coverin' up the icy ground
I'm a slippin' and a slidin' down this dead end stream
Like a sheep who is lost from the fold
I've been on the land and I've been on the sea
I ain't never seen a night so cold
Suddenly a face at the window
Looks like someone I might a seen before
Thought it musta been my imagination
When suddenly she opened up the door
'And I never expected to see you again
Must a been seven years ago
Now that you're here, why don't you come in
Don't stand outside in the snow'
She sat me down in that old rockin' chair
And she threw on another lump of coal
Said 'what's a southern boy like you, doin' here
Where the winter gets so long and cold'
'My history's a short one to tell
I've been travelin' all these seven years
I followed the music and the money around
And that's what I'm doin' up here'
She said 'I came up with my husband
He wanted to get away from Tennessee
He's up somewhere in the Rocky Mountains
But it just got to cold up there for me
And I never expected to see you again
Then again, you just never know
You better stay here until the weather clears
It's to cold to be out there in the snow'

10.These Dreams of Losing You
I rode in to Nashville
On the bus from Knoxville
I know I shouldn't
I just couldn't wait
I just had to see you
To get something straight
Livin' in a house
No life, no place (？)
Sittin' in the bathtub
Hot water on my face
Not long here
A friend came down with me
I came to see about you
He came to see what he could see
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose...
Glad to see you
Glad you came
Voice sounds different
She still looks the same
I have grown some
In a place or two
A little extra
Always looked good on you
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose...
These dreams of losing you
Oh, don't let them come true
These I had of you
I had forgotten them
But I still remember
You...
