Rockin' With The Rhythm

The Judds Rockin' With The Rhythm Lyrics
1.Have Mercy

I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from ev'ry rain drop
I see you driving by just like a phantom jet
With your arm around some little brunette
You say you won't be home because you're working late
Honey, i'm no fool, you've been out on a date
The lipstick on your collar gives the game away
It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose

(chorus)

Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad i'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby have mercy on me

Well i called you up on the telephone
I could hear you was playin' haggard and jones
I knew right then that there was something wrong
There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs

(repeat chorus)

Went to the bank with my little check book
The cashier he gave me the strangest look
He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn
Your man took it all and he's done gone

(repeat chorus)


2.Grandpa(Tell Me bout The Good Old Days)

Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like this worlds gone crazy
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy

(chorus)

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress, but i just don't know
And grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago

(repeat chorus)

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days


3.Working In The Coal Mine

Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)

'cause i make a little money
Haulin' coal by the ton
When saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun

(repeat chorus)

Lord i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, i'm so tired
How long can this go on

(repeat chorus)


4.If I Were You

If i were you
I'd think it over
Take your time
Before you leave
Everyone wants the perfect lover
If i were you
I'd fall in love with me

If i were you
I'd just remember
Don't miss the forest for the trees
The mighty flame
Was once an ember
If i were you i'd fall in love with me

If i were you
I'd wisper sweet i love you's everyday
If i were you, i'd never ever let me get away

If i were you
I'd look me over
Theres much more than what you see
I can prove you'll need no other
If i were you i'd fall in love with me


5.Rockin' With The Rhythm Of The Rain

Sittin on the porch swing
Listenin to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro
Just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

So let the breeze keep blowin'
(rockin with the rhythm of the rain)
(night birds a singin' the crickets a callin')
Oh, my heart will never be the same
Keep the sweet feelin' flowin'
(whisper in my ear baby)
(oh, feels so fine)
(nights like this come once in a lifetime)
Me and my baby rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Oh baby hold me tight
Say you love me
That's all i wanna hear tonight

Sittin on the porch swing
Listenin to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain

(repeat chorus)

Me and my baby rockin with the rhythm of the rain


6.Tears For You

Everytime i think of you
Lonesome, i'm on my own some
Yes, i could lone some
Tears for you
Daybreak
Another daybreak
And i wonder
How i got through
You know sleepin'
I'm only sleepin'
In between my weepin'
Tears for you

You know that one night
One night can be such a long night
At midnight
I know all the stars by name
But it's allright
I'll get myself together
Nothin' lasts forever
I'll just play another game

Because mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes
Can one kiss make
Dreams come true
Nice try, i'll just say goodbye
Let someone else cry

Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you


7.River Roll On

River roll on
Wish i could be like you
No looking back
And no heart that breaks in two
You'll never now
What a goodbye can do
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

River roll on
Free as the winds that blow
Feelin' no pain
We just roll'em with the flow
No tears to cry
No songs to make you blue
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

Oh, i never thought that
I could ever feel so all alone
But i'm learnin'
The world keeps on a turnin'
Even though he's gone

River roll on
Keep rollin' endlesslyv down to the arms
Of the ever waiting sea
I wish that i had someone waitin' too
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on

I wish that i had someone waitin' too
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on
Oh, i wish i were you
River roll on
River roll on
River roll on
River roll on


8.I Wish She Wouldn't Treat You That Way

The way she treats you
Is a dog gone crime
I just get blue about it all the time
Drives me crazy
How she walks that line
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way

I ain't sayin' that she's bad to you
She does every little thing a lover should do
Any fool could see that her love is true
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one
Who loves you dear
She ain't the only one
Who needs you near
How am i ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way

See you walkin' with her
Hand in hand
By the look on your face
You're a happy man
She's ruinin all of my best layed plans
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way

I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one
Who loves you dear
She ain't the only one
Who needs you near
How am i ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way

Wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way


9.Cry Myself To Sleep

I've tried so hard
You know i can't do more
It's the turn of the card
It's the close of the door
The lies you told
You know they hurt so deep
So i'll go home
And cry myself to sleep

And day after day
You've been treating me bad
Friends come up and say,
'why do you take all that?'
'cause it's making me moan
And it's making me weep
So i'll go home
And cry myself to sleep

You play at love
Like a child plays games
One day i'm in
Then i'm out again
You change the rules
And i just can't win
You've broken me now
So i give in, yeah, yeah

I've been through worse
But i don't know what
Oh, i gave to you
Everything that i got
So take this heart
Or what's left to keep
And i'll go home
And cry myself to sleep
So i'll go home and cry myself to sleep
Cry myself to sleep


10.Dream Chaser

I'm gonna pack my bags and drive all night
I'll be in the mountains by morning light
Drive the road i traveled years ago
As a young girl leaving home

With dreams as big as the trees were tall
I knew i'd have nothing or i'd have it all
And you all know what happens when the bright lights call
You're either gonna make or you're gonna fall
Make it or you're gonna fall

(chorus)

I'm a dream chaser, a star gazer that's what i am
But i've always known i'd come back home when i found my
rainbows end
Rainmakers and heartbreakers could never change my plans
Dream chaser, that's what i am

I'm goin' home where the stars shine bright in a mountain sky
That path above i've followed all of my life
It's guiding me back to where my dreams began
Then i'll be gone again
I'll be gone again

(repeat chorus)

Dream chaser, that's what i am
