1.Mr. Jones
Lyricist：Raul Malo
I wanna go across the river
To the house on Oldway Road
Where my life began and ended all the same
I remember Chris and Johnny
Childhood friends of mine
Who grew wise enough to learn to play the game
As I walked up to the front yard
There were children playing there
And I thought someday this may be my home again
But how soon I learned my lesson
Through the windows they threw stones
And said there's nothing left inside Mr. Jones
I went next door to ask the neighbor
If they knew what happened here
To the place where all my memories remain
As they recalled and tried to answer
Tears rolled down their eyes
But the best reply they had was made in vain
It seems the folks that used to live there
Worked hard for all their means
But their means could never take them to an end
And there was hope down in the city
But when a bank declined their loan
Now there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
Can't you see that it's empty now
And no one really cares
For even I must try to save my own
You should turn around and get back on that
Lonely Oldway Road
'Cause there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
Can't you see that it's empty now
And no one really cares
For even I must try to save my own
You should turn around and get back on that
Lonely Oldway Road
'Cause there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
I'm going back across the river
To see if I can find the place where
Life can start and end all the same
But no matter where I'm going
It will dwell inside my bones
That there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
And no, there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
No, there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
2.Excuse Me (I Think I've Got a Heartache)
Lyricist：Harlan Howard, Buck Owens
They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
I guess, it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth, I'd have to say
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
3.This Broken Heart
Lyricist：Raul Malo
This broken heart will never love again
Because I don't want it to
You came along and showed me I was wrong
To think that I could never love you
Every time, I run away
I know, you'll always stay
This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you, my heart won't break anymore
Every time, I run away
I know, you'll always stay
This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you, my heart won't break anymore
No, with you, my heart won't break anymore
4.I Got You
Lyricist：Radney M Foster, Raul Malo
It's one of those days
When trying to make a Dollar's
Got me wearing thin
And what I thought was right
Just turned out to be wrong again
You know it don't pay
To have a broken back
From carrying all those worries 'round
But honey I have found
That I got you to make me love you
I got you to make me care
I got you right here beside me
When nothing else is there
It don't matter about the money
'Cause I got your lovin' honey
And I could lose it all today
But I got you
You know me well
Well enough to know if it's me
Or only my foolish pride
That make me say the things
To you that only make you cry
And you can tell
When the time is right
To hold me tight or let me go
But darling I need you so
I got you to make me love you
I got you to make me care
I got you right here beside me
Oh when nothing else is there
It don't matter about the sorrow
'Cause I still have you tomorrow
And I could lose it all today
But I got you
Well it don't matter about the sorrow
'Cause I still have you tomorrow
And I could lose it all today
But I got you
And I wish there was a way
But words could never say
The love I feel today
'Cause I got you
5.From Hell to Paradise
Lyricist：Raul Malo
For thirty years they sang the
Song of promised victory
But who they've fought and who has won
Didn't matter much to me
Oh, I see them driving down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
Crowds of people to their feet
And their faces full of scars
No pleasantries, no luxuries
And no little children's milk
While minister's wives spent
All their lives in China's finest silk
Well, my back's been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on
The day it comes my way on
Freedom's ship I will be gone
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
This ninety mile trip
Has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep forever
What was never theirs to take
Well, I cursed and scratched the Devil's hand
As he stood in front of me
Had one last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare
Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare
6.A Better Way
Lyricist：Raul Malo
We spent the night in a hobo town like a pair of runaways
We lit a fire and sang the songs we learned from yesterday
Settled down and built a house with our own sweatin' hands
What happened next, I'll never know or never understand
Finished with my working day and headed straight for home
I looked inside the bedroom door and you were not alone
Well, I hope you find a better way to get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see I don't love you anymore
And if you find a broken heart somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up, it'll mend itself someday
You thought my life was over now, well, honey, you thought wrong
I found myself someone to love, who'll love me all night long
All the things you left behind, I threw them all away
You never cared enough about the things I had to say
Well, I hope you find a better way to get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see I don't love you anymore
And if you find a broken heart somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up, it'll mend itself someday
Well, I hope you find a better way to get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see I don't love you anymore
And if you find a broken heart somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up, it'll mend itself someday
7.Forever Blue
Lyricist：Raul Malo
Why was I so wrong
When everything was right？
I thought that you would long
For my arms to hold you tight
You never even called
Or stopped to say hello
So now I'm sad and blue
While you're just glad to go
Remember all the times
When you were missing me？
Because I'd be gone so long
But not eternally
I always turned around
To find my way back home
But the only thing I found
Was I found myself alone
And I may never find another one to hold me
I may never find another one so true
Maybe I'll just find myself all sad and lonely
Maybe I'll just never find another you
Forever lonely, forever blue
For never knowing that you were true
Forever thinking you'd love me too
So you've gone and now I don't know what to do
So I guess I'll always be forever blue
Will you be so kind
As to leave my heart alone？
That's where it needs to be
So it won't hurt no more
As long as you're around
And not here with me
My smile will be a frown
Forever blue I'll be
And I may never find another one to hold me
I may never find another one so true
Maybe I'll just find myself all sad and lonely
Maybe I'll just never find another you
Forever lonely, forever blue
For never knowing that you were true
Forever thinking you'd love me too
So you've gone and now I don't know what to do
So I guess I'll always be forever blue
So you've gone and now I don't know what to do
So I guess I'll always be forever blue
8.Hey, Good Lookin'
Lyricist：Hank Sr Williams
Hey good lookin', what you got cookin'？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
Well I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about keepin' steady company？
I got a Hot Rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
If you wanna have fun come along with me
I said, hey, good lookin', what you got cookin'？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
And then I'll buy me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep 'til it's covered with age
Because I'm writin' your name down on every page
I said, hey, hey good lookin', what you got cookin'？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
Rock on girl
I got a Hot Rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
But if you wanna have fun come along with me
I said, hey good lookin', what you got cookin'？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
How's about cookin' somethin' up with
I say, good lookin'
Well, how's about cookin' somethin' up with me？
9.Children
Lyricist：Raul Malo
A child who is raised by an unworthy hand
Has less of a chance of being a man
Who will try to remember and then understand
Why a mother would cry while a husband lay dead
Shot down by a gun of a runaway train
Called life in the fast lane it all ends the same
Well the same children's lives they will always regret
Are the children who never forget
A man ends up tired and walking alone
On a street corner singing for a penny a song
What he cannot remember was never his own
That's the answer he gives when he speaks of his home
Well the streets are my life I don't know anymore
Where the children's are junkies and the ladies are whores
Well the same children's lives they will always regret
Are the children who never forget
Goodnight, goodnight sweet child
Why don't you dream with the angels to forget for awhile
To forget of the life that's been handed to you
Where every thing's real yet nothing is true
Well perhaps you can change what the cards always read
For the children who never forget
For a time they were counting you out of this race
You stood up like a champion that had fallen like grace
Never showing the anguish that had covered your face
You were raped and forgotten left to die in disgrace
Shot down by a gun of a runaway train
Called life in the fast lane it all ends the same
Well the same children's lives they will always regret
Are the children who never forget
Goodnight, goodnight sweet child
Why don't you dream with the angels to forget for awhile
To forget of the life that's been handed to you
Where every thing's real yet nothing is true
Well perhaps you can change what the cards always read
For the children who never forget
Goodnight, goodnight sweet child
Why don't you dream with the angels to forget for awhile
To forget of the life that's been handed to you
Where every thing's real yet nothing is true
Goodnight, goodnight sweet child
Why don't you dream with the angels to forget for awhile
To forget of the life that's been handed to you
Where every thing's real yet nothing is true
10.The End of the Line (Jim Baker)
Lyricist：Raul Malo
You walk on higher ground
Like the holy ghost I haven't found
The mighty words you speak
They bounce off the strong but are heard by the weak
Their pennies just keep on comin' in
Their spirits are still soakin' in their sins
Some say they're even born again
See what you can find at the end of the line
There's no end in time at the end of the line
There's no peace of mind at the end of the line
The time has finally come
To relinquish the throne that doesn't belong
For only you can tell
If the pardon will come or will you burn in hell
You tried to recover dirty stones
From love filthy games played on the road
Now it is you who stands alone
See what you can find at the end of the line
There's no end in time at the end of the line
There's no peace of mind at the end of the line
You can run, you can't hide at the end of the line
Their pennies just keep on comin' in
The spirits still soaking in his sins
Some say they're even born again
See what you can find at the end of the line
There's no end in time at the end of the line
There's no peace of mind at the end of the line
You can run, you can't hide at the end of the line
And there's no peace of mind at the end of the line
Oh, no, no, no
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
