1.Mona
Lyricist:Mirriam Johnson Jennings
I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere.
I can give you all the love and tenderness
A broken heart can spare
Mona take the love I give
Don't ask for love I gave away back there
You could take the hand of any man
And show him how to dream
Why do you look back into my dark
And bitter past, can't you see?
Mona when you found me
All I had was sad and broken dreams
Mona please be satisfied walking
Through tomorrow here with me
I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere
Mona take the love I give
Don't ask for love I gave away back there
2.If You Could Touch Her At All
Lyricist:Lee Clayton
Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist, I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She could be worth the world if somehow, you can touch her at
all
Right or wrong, a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weak and weary as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She could be worth the world if somehow, you can touch her at
all
3.Pick Up the Tempo
Lyricist:W Nelson
Some people are saying that time
Will take care of people like me
That I'm living too fast
And they say that I can't last much longer
But little they see
That their thoughts of me is my savior
Little they know
I might live forever
So pick up the tempo just a little
Take it on home
The singer ain't singin'
And the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself
So just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home
I'm wild and I'm mean
I'm creatin' a scene, I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad
And I'm happy and sad, I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud
And I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
About half off the wall
But I learned it all in the navy
So pick up the tempo just a little
Take it on home
The singer ain't singin'
And the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself
So just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little
Take it on home
Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home
4.It's Not Supposed to Be That Way
Lyricist:Willie Nelson
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know, I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to control you
And like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know, I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies 'til they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
Play with real fire 'til the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know, I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
5.Heaven Or Hell
Lyricist:Willie Nelson
Sometimes it's heaven,sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
Sometimes I take it as far as I can
Sometimes I don't even go
My front tracks are headin' for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered with snow
Sometimes it's heaven, sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
Heaven ain't walking a street paved with gold
Hell ain't a mountain of fire
Heaven is laying in my sweet baby's arms
Hell is when my baby's ain't there
My front tracks are headin' for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered with snow
Sometimes it's heaven, sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
Sometimes it's heaven, sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
6.Slow Rollin' Low
Lyricist:Billy Joe Shaver
I've got a slow rollin' low
Ain't a mother would want me
Done got me so down, bent out of round
Don't know my head from my toes
There ain't a hand here to hold
Ain't a shoulder to cry on
Then a lesson to learn or a corner to turn
Twist the dyin' and me
Lord, I wanted to be
Something you could depend on
Lordy, Lord, woe and me
There ain't nobody would care
I've got a slow rollin' low
Forgot the words to my song
I ain't that just like a fool, who wanna ride
On them trains when the train is all gone
Lord, I wanted to be
Something you could depend on
Lordy, Lord, woe and me
There ain't nobody would care
I've got a slow rollin' low
Forgot the words to my song
I ain't that just like a fool, who wanna ride
On them trains when the train is all gone
7.Slow Movin' Outlaw
Lyricist:Dee Moeller
All your old stations are being torn down
And the high flying trains no longer roar
The floors are all sagging with boards that are suffering
From not being used anymore
Things are all changing, the world's rearranging
A time that will soon be no more
Where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?
The whiskey that once settled the dust
And tasted so fine now tastes so faint
And the memories that once plotted out come back stronger
More clearly with each drink you take
The women that warmed you
Once thought so pretty now look haggard and old
Where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?
The land where I traveled once fashioned with beauty
Now stands with scars on her face
The wide open spaces are closing in quickly
From the weight of the whole human race
And it's not that I blame them for claiming her bounty
I just wish they're takin' it slow
'Cause where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?
Where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?
8.Walkin'
Lyricist:Willie Nelson
After carefully considerin' the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all
If guilty's the question, truth is the answer
I've been lyin' to me all alone
There ain't nothin' worth savin' except one another
And before you'll wake up I'll be gone
'Cause after carefully considerin' the whole situation
And I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all
Hmm, hmm, walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all
9.This Time
Lyricist:Waylon Jennings
This time if you want me to come back it's up to you
But remember, I won't allow the things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line
This time will be the last time
This time if I should feel unwanted, I won't stay
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today
It's all up to you to keep in mind
This time will be the last time
This time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time
If this time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time
10.Louisiana Women
Lyricist:John Cale
I got a gal in Baton Rouge she calls me Louisiana
She knows just what I want, she treats me right
Lord, Lord, Lord, treats me right, yes, she do
Treats me right
I went down to New Orleans to have myself a ball
The ladies there, they don't care, they just don't care at all
But they treat you right, Lord, Lord, Lord, treat you right
Louisiana gal treats you right
From the gulf of Mississippi up to Baton Rouge
The Louisiana ladies, boy, you just can't lose
They treats you right
Lord, Lord, Lord, treat you right, treats you right, boy
