1.33rd Of August
Lyricist：Mickey Newbury
Today there's no salvation band's packed up and gone
I'm left standing with my penny in my hand
Down at railroad station a blind man sings his song
I think he sees things I don't understand
It's the 33rd of August and I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound
I stumbled through the darkness tumble to my knees
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
Wound up in a squad car busted down for vacancy
Outside my cell it's sure as hell looks just like rain
It's the 33rd of August
I've put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain
Killed my violent nature with a smile
Let the demons danced and sang their songs within my fevered
brain
Not all my God like thoughts were defiled, it's the 33rd of
August
2.I've Got Me A Woman
Lyricist：Paul Kennerley
I've got me a woman she's a pretty good woman at that
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me Tex and makes me wear a cowboy hat
But I don't care 'cause she's a pretty good woman at that
I like nothin' better than to spend my nights at home
Listen to my baby when she plays my slide trombone
She talks in tongues, boy, that really turns me on
With a woman like that, a man need never to roam
Some folks get themselves together
Some folks stay in Tennessee
But I don't care where I'm goin'
Just as long as that woman stays with me
Nothin' in the world'd make me treat that woman mean
She shaves my beard and she keeps my tractor clean
She burns my food, makes me eat turnip greens
But I don't care 'cause she's the best little woman I've seen
Some folks get themselves together
Some folks stay in Tennessee
But I don't care where I'm goin'
Just as long as that woman stays with me
3.Do No Good Woman
Lyricist：Jennings Wayland Arnold
You're looking at a man who's living in the wrong time
My mind's lost in my lonesome past
I wrote myself a sad song about troubles and a worried mind
And a do no good woman, my first love and my last
Well, I wanted the world to know her like I do
So I tried to paint her picture in a song
I sang the blues but the only words that I knew
We're do no good woman I love, you right or wrong girl
Lord, Lord, what's a good man gonna do
From the streets of New Orleans to a penthouse in Chicago
I tried to play the lover for a time
But you just can't hold a woman in the night with the lights low
With a do no good woman always on your mind
Look at me and you can see I've seen my better days
Hoping for better times to come
Well, I never thought that love could drive a good man into his
grave
But do no good woman, Lord, you damn near got it done, girl
4.I Knew You'd Be Leavin'
Lyricist：Billy Ray Reynolds
I won't take your hand when you turn to walk away in the morning
And I'll try not to cry when you say goodbye you try to warn me
Some morning you'd wake up an ocean would arise and you'd be
gone
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your reason for stayin' is
gone
My words of I love you keep creeping into my conversation
Like you always told me any love for you would be a fool's
creation
I guess the unit of loving me no longer holds the flavor you
once known
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your reason for stayin' is
gone
So I'll just lay here in your arms and hope the dawn comes very
slowly
We had our time for love but now the time has come you'll be
goin'
I won't question you with what I guess I've known all along
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your reason for stayin' is
gone
5.Can't You See
Lyricist：Toy Talmadge Caldwell
Gonna catch a freight train as far as I can Lord
I don't care which way it goes
Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain Lord
Jump off ain't nobody gonna know
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Gonna buy a ticket go as far as I can Lord
I ain't never coming back
Take me a southbound all the way down Lord
Till the train run out of track
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Can't you see, oh can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
Can't you see, oh can't you see
What that woman's been doin' to me？
6.Clyde
Lyricist：J. J. Cale
Clyde plays electric bass plays it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes pickin' the bass and singin'
the blues
Misery loves company this old dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail you can hear him moan you can hear
him wail yeah
Jodie baby she got the dollar down the road you can hear her
holler
Get up Clyde we got things to do that old dog's singin' the
blues
He don't move he don't flinch Clyde he don't move an inch
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes pickin' the bass and singin'
the blues
Clyde plays electric bass plays it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes pickin' the bass and singin'
the blues
7.I'm Coming Home
Lyricist：Johnny Horton
You wonder if my arms held anyone
Since I've gone
But everything, everything's gonna be alright, baby
And I'm comin' home
You got the prettiest smile of anyone
I ever knew
And every time, every time I think of those good times, baby
I've got to have you
I just hope that you've been faithful to me
That no other arms have held you
No lips have kissed you but mine
And you're true to me
You've been on my mind every night
Since I've been gone
But everything, everything's gonna be alright, baby
'Cos I'm comin' home
You've been on my mind every night
Since I've been gone
But everything, everything's gonna be alright, baby
'Cos I'm comin' home
8.Four Strong Winds
Lyricist：Daniel O'brien, Greg Ingraham, James Wilsey, Penelope Houston
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But our good times are all gone and I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I might go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
I've got some friends that I could go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
If I get there before the snow flies and things are goin' good
You could join me if I'd sent you down the fare
But if you wait until it's winter, it would be no good
For the winds sure can blow colder way out there
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
9.Cindy Oh Cindy
Lyricist：Bob Barron, Burt Long
I joined the navy to see the world but nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy the girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over, can't get her off my mind
Cindy, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon and I'll be homeward bound
I see her face in every wave, her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out for me through calm and stormy seas
At night I pace the lonely deck caressed by memories
Cindy, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
I know my Cindy's waitin' as I walk the dock alone
Her loving arms reach out for me, soon I'll be headin' home
Then my sailing days will be over and no more will I roam
Cindy, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
Cindy, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
10.Willie The Wandering Gypsy And Me
Lyricist：Billy Joe Shaver
Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinkers
And moving does more than the same thing for me
Willy he tells me that doers and thinkers say movin' is a
closest thing to being free
Willy rosins his riggins laid back his wages he's dead cert on
ridin' the big rodeo
My woman's tight with an overdue baby and Willy keeps yelling
hey Gypsy let's go
Willy you're wild as a Texas Blue Norther ready rolled from the
same makins as me
Well I reckon we're gonna ramble till hell freeze us over
Willy the wandering Gypsy and me
Now ladies we surely will take up your favors
And we'll surely worn you there never will be
A single soul living that could put brand or handle
On Willy the wandering Gypsy and me
Well dance on the mountains shout in the canyons
Swarm it ain't loose herd like a wild buffalo
Jammin' our heads full of figures and angles and tellin' us
stuff that we already know
Willy you're wild
Yeah Willy you're wild
11.You Put The Soul In The Song
Lyricist：Jr., John Detterline, Timothy Gaetano, Donald Clint Goodman
We started with nothin' but each other and reached for the stars
From a one room apartment with a dream and a Pawnshop guitar
God gave the talent but you found the will to survive
In this city of songs where dreamers are eaten alive
I made the music, you made the man
When I stumbled and lose it, baby, you'd understand
I was tempted to give up, strength made me strong
I made the music, you put the soul in the song
When I look at you girl, I see a true work of art
So many beautiful things in one little heart
You're every word I ever wrote and every note that I ever sung
Never stop believing that's where the feeling comes from
I made the music, you made the man
When I stumbled and lose it, baby, you'd understand
I was tempted to give up, strength made me strong
I made the music but you put the soul in the song
I made the music but you put the soul in the song
12.Jack Of Diamonds
Lyricist：Daniel Joseph Moore
Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, take my money
You can take my life of luxury
You can take my precious silver studded saddle, oh
But you cannot take my soul, cannot take my soul today
Sweet mama, oh sweet mama say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
But don't tell me that I'm literally falling to pieces
Keep me tender mama, tender now, keep me warm
Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, still got my ace
If you want me to do it I can throw it up in your face
You can take your precious music singing bullshit
But you cannot take my soul, cannot take my soul today
Jack of diamonds, hey Jack of diamonds, I'm gonna be alright
But you cannot take my soul, cannot take my soul, today
13.The Boxer
Lyricist：Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises, all lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, running scared
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job but I get no offers
Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were some times
When I was so lonesome
And I took some comfort there
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down and cut him
Till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains
14.Talk Good Boogie
Lyricist：Jennings Waylon
Got me a habit that I surely gotta quit
Ain't gotta have it just hooked a little bit
Shouldn't come to see ya 'cause you're nearly never home
Wouldn't call at all but you give good phone
Talk good boogie but you won't get down
Tell me that you love me but you won't come around
Talk good boogie but you won't get down
Just when I'm really thinkin' I got a chance
You change all the music while I'm learning how to dance
Slip and slide just a much as you can
Then you're right back peepin' and a-hidin' again
Talk good boogie but you won't get down
Tell me that you love me but you won't come around
Talk good boogie but you won't get down
Play good drums but you turn the beat around
Sometimes it has a tendency to hang loose
15.Kentucky Woman
Lyricist：Diamond Neil
Kentucky woman, she shines with her own kind of light
She'd look at you once and a day, that's all wrong looks all
right
And I love her, God knows I love her, Kentucky woman
If she gets to know you, she gets to own you, Kentucky woman
She's not the kind gets turn at the drop of her name
'Cause somethin' inside that she's got turns you on just the
same
And she loves me, God knows she loves me, Kentucky woman
If she gets to know you, she gets to own you, Kentucky woman
Don't want much good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch from that one girl and life is sweet
And good, there ain't no doubt talkin' about Kentucky woman
If she gets to know you, she gets to own you, Kentucky woman
Don't want much Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch from that one girl and life is sweet
And good, there ain't no doubt talkin' about Kentucky woman
If she gets to know you, she gets to own you, Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman, Kentucky woman
16.Old Church Hymns And Nursery Rhymes
Lyricist：Chapman Beth Nielsen
Blow on you restless wind
Up to your old tricks again
Bear down you Texas sun
You make the desserts dry
And the brush fires run
Splintered wood, rusty chains
This old front porch swing remains
A pendulum of memories
Goes back and forth on a summer breeze
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
From the days way back before my time
With a little child upon my knee
Singing every sweet word back to me
Look how far I had to come
To get back where I started from
With a child's wisdom passing time
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
I've run the race, I've walked the wire
I paid the price of my desire
And the only time I've known it all
Is just before I took a fall
So howl you lone coyote song
Fade to sapphire sky of dawn
Count me in the lucky men
To send the world around again
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
From the days way back before my time
With a little child upon my knee
Singing every sweet word back to me
Look how far I had to come
To get back where I started from
With a child's wisdom passing time
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
17.She's Too Good For Me
Lyricist：Sting
She don't like to hear me sing
She don't want no diamond ring
She don't want to drive my car
She won't let me go that far
She don't like the way I look
She don't like the things I cook
She don't like the way I play
She don't like the things I say
Oh, the games we play
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
She don't like the jokes I make
She don't like the drugs I take
She don't like the friends I got
She don't like my friends a lot
She don't like the clothes I wear
She don't like the way I stare
She don't like the tales I tell
She don't like the way I smell
Oh, the games we play
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
Would I prefer him if he washed himself more often than he does？
Would I prefer him if he took me to an opera？
Because he thought I'd fall for him
She don't wanna meet my folks
She don't wanna hear my jokes
She don't like to fix my tie
She don't even wanna try
She don't like the books I read
She don't like the way I feed
She don't wanna save my life
She don't wanna be my wife
Oh, the games we play
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
She's too good for me
18.Bridge Over Troubled Water
Lyricist：Paul Simon
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All the dreams are on their way
See how they shine if you need a friend
I'm sailing out behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lead your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lead your mind
19.Tryin' To Outrun The Wind
Lyricist：Davey Thomas Earl, Seals Troy, Setser Edward F
He's a sad song singer, he plays a gut-stringer
With vagabond fingers that follow his mind
To far away places he reaches for traces
And touches the faces he's long left behind
He'll keep you from knowing where he's been or going
You'll see the distance right there in his eyes
Just short of stealing he'll take your feelings
Pull at your heart strings till they come untied
Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
Her memory turns over and over again
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
Trying to outrun the wind
Well, I've laughed with the sunshine cried with the rains
I've had some bad nights with the best of the blues
And I go on pretending with long haired women
I still get crazy when I think of you
Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
Her memory turns over and over again
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
Trying to outrun the wind
He's like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
Trying to outrun the wind
20.Six White Horses
Lyricist：Bobby Bond
Come here and look through the window over
He open up the shatters tell me, watch you see
Was that his knock that I heard at the door
Or is it six white horses coming down the road？
Come here and touch me and say that it's all right
You know that to my eyes the days are as the the nights
Read again the letter that tells me that he's gone
To hell with the fighting, I want my son home
I taught him to fish and I taught him to be strong
Taught him that killing any man is wrong
But tomorrow in battle I'd run to where he stood
If the help of a blind man do any good
Last night, I went to this room for a while
I touched all the things that he used as a child
I rock the cradle where he used to lay
I'd found these tin soldiers and threw them away
Come here and look through the window over
He open up the shatters tell me watch you see
Was that his knock that I heard at the door
Or is it six white horses coming down the road？
21.Waltz Me to Heaven
Lyricist：Dolly Parton
It's been a long time since I've had a good time
And I think it's high time I did
Could I have this dance it feels like romance
And it's good to be feeling like this
The lights are down low, the band's playin' slow
To the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
How many love songs, how many dance floors
Have lovers like us waltzed across
So waltz me to heaven tonight
To the waltz of the angels we'll blissfully blind
On past the milky way to paradise
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight
Waltz me to heaven tonight
Honky tonk angels in heavenly flight
With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight？
Waltz me to heaven tonight
Hold your heavenly body against mine so tight
As the band softly plays on this magical night
We'll dance past the Milky Way to paradise
With the moon as our halo and the stars in our eyes
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight？
Won't you waltz me to heaven tonight？
22.She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)
Lyricist：Harold Lloyd Jenkins
Well, now I can see
You're dancin' every dance with her
And it seems to me
You're dancin' much too close to her
When you sat at our table you sat next to her
But I know that it's true
She loves me, she don't love you
Well, let me tell you, friend, I'm wise to your lies
Even tellin' me that I'm the guy for her
And if a little thing you do and say
Has given you away, you're in love with her
Well, just one more dance with her
And friend, you're gonna see
Oh, what it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me
Here's your coat, there's the door
I think you better leave
'Cause I just know that it's true
She loves me, she don't love you
23.Wild Ones
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
Straight out of nowhere
And a little bit out of our minds
We were courting disaster
With one foot over the line
It was one for the show
And two for ol' shorty and me
We were the wild ones
We had this town up a tree
We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
'Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail
She was a lady
When a lady wasn't easy to be
Hangin' in limbo
She started hangin' with me
We were the music
'Cause we had a song we could sing
We were the wild ones
And we had the world on a string
We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
'Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail
24.You Don't Mess Around With Me
Lyricist：Carol Connors
I blew in from Texas and you don't know who I am
Most of you could care less and the rest don't give a damn
But you might take special notice when you take a look at me
I'm everything you've ever been and ever want to be
My game is the winner take all, I live on the edges
So I'm subject to a fall, I ain't never been a loser
I ain't never gonna be, I'm like runnin' in a ringer
You don't mess around with me
I've got money in my pocket, I've got money in the bank
If I look like a poor boy, I've got much more than you think
I got a woman on my right arm woman on my left
When it comes to women, Lord I just can't help myself
I know it's not the right thing to do but I could never change
Even if I wanted to so if you are a lady
And if you always want to be, I'm a living lovin' legend
You don't mess around with me
She's got honey drippin' off her lips so good you can taste
A walkin' aphrodisiac too damn good to waste
Prancin' like a thoroughbred out to win the race
It don't matter how good lookin' or how good she may be
There's just one foregone conclusion you don't mess around with
me
25.Will the Wolf Survive？
Lyricist：David Kent Hidalgo, Louis Frausto Perez
Through the chill of winter
Running across a frozen lake
Hunters hard right on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
One thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive？
Will the wolf survive？
Drifting by the roadside
Lines etched on an aging face
It wants to find some honest space
Losing to the range wars
He's got two strong legs to guide him
Two strong arms keep him alive
Will the wolf survive？
Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light
Sounds across the nation
Coming from your hearts and minds
Battered drums and old guitars
Singing songs of passion
It's the truth that they all look for
Something they must keep alive
Will the wolf survive？
Will the wolf survive？
Will the wolf survive？
26.WBPT
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
About fourteen miles out of Abilene
At a curve in the road and a little stream
I found out what love's about
So long ago, wonder what I found out
We all got together at the Buffalo Gap
Grandpa Gus ain't got no lap
He went to heaven in a rocking chair
What a surprise if he ain't the only one there
You've got a man over eight feet tall
He can sleep in the kitchen with his feet in the hall
You ain't much more than five feet two
I bet you can do anything you've a mind to
This little song means nothing to you
Wouldn't matter at all if you wanted it to
Just part of my life and part of the show
Ain't that good but I thought you might want to know
27.Boxer
Lyricist：Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged
people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job but I get no offers
Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were some times when I was so lonesome
And I took some comfort there
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains
28.Road
Lyricist：Theodore Harris
Back home the family's eatin' dinner
There's a fire in the fireside warm and bright
But I won't be there today 'cause I've got a debt to pay
And they don't let black sheep stray from the road
No they don't let black sheep stray from the road
My throat is out crying for water Lord
That wind is blowing cold
That guard is watching me like a hawk up in the tree
And I'm longing to be free from the road
Yes, I'm longing to be free from the road
Every bone inside my body's aching
And that guard don't care if I live or die
He told me yesterday son don't try to get away
For I'll lay you down to stay by the road
Yes, I'll lay you down to stay by the road
29.If Ole Hank Could Only See Us Now
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Alan Murrah
If ole Hank could only see us now
If he could see what we got goin' down
We got learjets and buses, chauffeured limousines
We done moved from the Ryman and Opry's on TV
I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow
What'd ya think if ole Hank could see us now？
Well, Nashville's got too rich to sing the blues
They've traded in their cowboy boots
For high-heeled Gucci shoes
Looks like they took the music out to lunch
There ain't a decent yodel in the bunch
If ole Hank could see us now
If he could see what we got goin' down
We got game shows and videos and a lot of souvenirs
From machines and synthesizers ringin' in our ears
I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow
What'd ya think if ole Hank could only see us now？
(Yeah)
It's still a long hard road but you know you're at the top
When the CMA awards you for crossin' over pop
I guess they finally think we've come of age
Singin' through the smoke, strobe lights on the stage
If ole Hank could only see us now
If he could see what we got goin' down
We got learjets and buses, chauffeured limousines
We done moved from the Ryman and Ralph Emery's on TV
I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow
What'd ya think if ole Hank could see us now
We spend two hundred thousand dollars
Makin' compact discs
And the record never scratch and never break
Ver break, ver break, ver break, ver break
(Ha, ha, ha)
30.Going Down Rocking
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Leann White, Tony Joe White
One foot on the mountain
The other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble
And I'm caught in between
I can't change my way of doin'
It's gonna lay like it falls
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
She was a child of acquired money
Had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak
And needed breathing room
If I can't be your sugar daddy
I won't be your Neanderthal
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation
That's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble
But I do have my ways
Don't be your Neanderthal
Tonight I had good intentions
Of crawling into bed
Resting my body
And clearing my head
But just about midnight
I got that telephone call
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation
That's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble
But I do have my ways
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
31.If You're Goin' Girl - Previously Unreleased
Lyricist：Bobby Bond
If you're goin' girl in the summertime
Then you'd better take the shinin' sun
And you'd better take all the golden fields
And the perfume of the clover and the corn
If you're goin' girl in the winter time
Then you'd better take all the sparkling snow
And you'd better take the fresh cut firewood
And the smooth red wine that kept us warm
'Cause if I ever walk in the sun again
It'd be too much for me to understand
And if I ever drink warm red wine again
I'd find myself reaching for your hand
And much more than this, all those things we had
I want you to keep all of your days
May your memories never make me sad
And I wish you love always
32.Go Down Rockin'
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Leann White, Tony Joe White
One foot on the mountain, the other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble and I'm caught in between
I can't change my way of doin', it's gonna lay like it falls
If I can't go down rockin', ain't gonna go down at all
She was a child of acquired money, had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak, needed breathing room
I can't be your sugar daddy, I won't be your Neanderthal
I can't go down rockin', ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation, that's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble but I do have my ways
If I can't go down rockin', ain't gonna go down at all
Tonight I had good intentions of crawling into bed
Resting my body and clearing my head
Just about midnight, I got that telephone call
If I can't go down rockin', ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation, that's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble but I do have my ways
I won't be your Neanderthal, ah
If I can't go down rockin', ain't gonna go down at all
33.Unsatisfied
My woman goes about her way
Hangin' on from day to day
God knows she's tried to do her best for her and me
Knowin' that she'll always be unsatisfied
She tells me everything's alright
But when she should be sleepin' nights I've heard her cry
But she greets me like the morning sun
Makes me wish I was the one unsatisfied
But soon the warmer wind will blow her way I know
And warm her like she never has been warmed before.
Lord, she deserves the very best
With me she'll never be addressed, we'd tried and tried
But a man can tell when somethin's wrong
Woman can go just so long unsatisfied
Soon the warmer wind will blow her way I know
And warm her like she never has been warmed before
She deserves the very best with me
She'll never be addressed, God knows I've tried
But I can't be what I can't be, she can't live a life with me
Unsatisfied, unsatisfied, unsatisfied, unsatisfied
34.Too Close To Call
I have battled with the demons for my soul
Like a soldier unafraid, stood straight and tall
With strong convictions, fought for what I thought was right and
wrong
But I wonder when it stands in judgment hall
Will it go down as one too close to call？
I have faced that cunning enemy called time
For a while I held him cold and to a draw
As he rode away, he said another place and day
'Cause you can't erase the writing on the wall
Although this one was just too close to call
As I wrestled with my deepest fear of life
I was captured by the shadows on the wall
I was brave but just the same, I was glad when morning came
'Cause now and then, the footsteps in the hall
Remind me it was just too close to call
I have watched my mind dance too close to the edge
As I stood among the crowd to see it fall
Sometimes now I cling to what I hope is sanity
I stagger on this fine line that I walk
And wonder is it just too close to call？
35.Weakness In A Man
Honey, how you've changed
It makes me wonder have I ever really known you
How could you abuse and use
The kindness and tenderness that I have shown you
If I had known then, I have shown
The strength on which my love could make a stand
But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness
For the weakness in your man
I can give you almost anything
If I know what you're looking for
I can give you everything
Any other man can give and more
He may promise you the world
But I can give you everything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man
I may live my life alone
With walls of stone inside some lonely cell
But no man's gonna take the love I own
And never live to tell the tale
So don't forsake the vows you made
And don't remove my little golden band
And don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man
Don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man
36.Right Before My Eyes
You do the things that hurt me
So right before my eyes
Just because I love you so
I overlook your lies
Let you make a fool of me
Yes, that's what I'll always be
'Cause I pretend not to see
What's right before my eyes
Everyone keeps telling me
What's right before my eyes
Love is blind and I can't see
What's right before my eyes
I can't make myself believe
What's right before my eyes
I thought your love belonged to me
But now I realize
You couldn't care and act this way
There's nothing I can do or say
Just watch my dream will fade away
Right before my eyes
Everyone keeps telling me
What's right before my eyes
Love is blind and I can't see
What's right before my eyes
37.Lonigan's Widow
Now four jolly troopers from Mansfield town
Were sent out to hunt all them Kelly boys down
They searched through the wombat for most of a week
And they camped on the banks of the Stringybark creek
But Lonigan's widow, she's a singing no songs
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
They say that Ned Kelly had never done wrong
Tell that to Lonigan's widow
Early that morning amid laughter and shouting
Kennedy and Scanlon, they rode out a scouting
And left McIntyre to cook up the grub
While Lonigan sang at the old washing tub
They were cleaning the camp, boiling some tea
When up jumped Ned Kelly with his comrades three
With a shout and a cry and a crack of a gun
Lonigan staggers and Lonigan's done
But Lonigan's widow, she's singin' no songs
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
He's crawling, he's crying, he's clawing the ground
His voice makes a pleading and pitiful sound
Of the way that he's dying, nobody will speak
When they tell of the glory's on Stringybark creek
But Lonigan's widow, she sang him no songs
She walks these red hills, she cries all night long
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
So sing of Ned Kelly, the lad of renown
The pride of Australia, the scourge of the crown
Sing of his bravery and God bless his head
And bury the truth as you bury the dead
But Lonigan's widow, she's singing no songs
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
Ned Kelly, ain't never done wrong
Ned Kelly's never done wrong
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
38.The Conversation (1983)
Waylon Jennings ＆ Hank WIlliams Jr
Now Hank, you just gotta tell me did your daddy really write all
them songs？
That don't deserve no answer Hoss let's light up and just move
along
Do you think he wrote em about your momma or about the man who
done her wrong？
Yeah back then they called him crazy, now a days they call him a
saint
Now the ones that called him crazy, lord, are still writing on
his name
Well if he was here right now Bocephus, would he think that we
were right？
Don't you know he would Waltalja be right here by our sides
If we left for a show at Provo he'd be the first one on the bus
and ready to ride
Where ever he is I hope he's happy, you know I hope he's doing
well
He is cause he's got one arm around my mama now
And he sure did love Miss Audrey and raising hell
I won't ask you no more questions cause the stories only hank
can tell
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a
saint
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry, and
that caused his greatest pain
Let me tell you about lovesick, how Miss Audrey loved that man
You know I've always loved to listen to the stories about that
Drifting Cowboy Band
Know when we get right down to it still the most wanted outlaw
in the land
39.I Can Get Off On You
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson
Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby
Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too
I don't need them now, your love was all I was after
I'll make it now, I can get off on you
I can get by on little
Or nothing at all I know
I can get high just thinkin'
About you and so
Well, take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby
Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too
I don't need them now, your love was all I was after
I'll make it now, I can get off on you
Who would have thought
This was somethin' that I'd ever do
I'm working it out
Mellowing out on you
Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby
Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too
I don't need them now, your love was all I was after
I'll make it now, I can get off on you
Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby
Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too
I don't need them now, your love was all I was after
I'll make it now, I can get off on you
40.Lookin' For A Feeling
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I'm lookin' for a feeling that I once had with you
Lookin' for a feeling I have grown accustomed to
I've had love and I've had lovers but they never seem to do
I keep lookin' for a feeling that I lost when I lost you
I said, when it was over I'd be over you in time
Because nothing lasts forever, it's all a state of mind
I found one love I'll find another, heaven knows how hard I've
tried
But there's something always missing, something never satisfied
I keep lookin' for a feeling that I once had with you
Lookin' for a feeling I have grown accustomed to
I've had love and I've had lovers but they never seem to do
I keep lookin' for a feeling that I lost when I lost you
41.May I Borrow Some Sugar from You
Lyricist：B Emmons, C Moman
You don't know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you？
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you？
You can call me nosy neighbor
I'll admit it's mostly truth
But it's hard to satisfy a cravin'
Can you relate to an old sweet tooth？
â~Cause coffee all alone every mornin'
Makes a bitter tastin' brew
Can I borrow some sugar from you？
Don't know how I got this feeling
Maybe it's because your floor is my ceiling
At times I wish it would just crash on through
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin'
Makes a bitter tastin' brew
May I borrow some sugar from you？
You don't know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you？
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you？
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin'
Makes a bitter tastin' brew
Can I borrow a little sugar from you？
Well, I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you？
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin'
Sure makes a bitter tastin' brew
42.The Last Cowboy Song
Lyricist：Ed Bruce, Ron Peterson
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The music is sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's lost
He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
His days're spent surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered by concrete
They truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs
They blow by his market never slowing to reason
Like living and dying was all he did
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The music is sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's lost
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The music is sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's lost
This is the last cowboy song
43.Lukenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)
Lyricist：B Emmons, C Moman
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars tuned good 'n' firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquee lights
I got my songs and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon and Willie and the
boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feudin' like the
Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is chokin' me, in your high society you cry
all day
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
Four-car garage and we're still buildin' on
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon and Willie and the
boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feudin' like the
Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Willie and Waylon and the
boys
This successful life we're livin's got us feudin' like the
Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain't nobody feelin' no pain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain't nobody feelin' no pain
44.Theme from the Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
Just good ol' boys
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born
Straightenin' the curves
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will
Making their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
Making their way
The only way they know how, yeah
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
I'm a good ol' boy
You know my mama loved me
But she don't understand
They keep showin' my pants
And not my face on TV
45.I'm A Ramblin' Man
Lyricist：Ray Pennington
I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orleans
Yes I am
I've played in California
There ain't too much, I haven't seen
No there ain't
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man
Left a girl in West Virginia
Up there where that green grass grows
Yes I did
Got a girl in Cincinnati
Waitin' where the Ohio river flows
Oh, girl
I'm a ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man
You better move away
You're standin' to close to the plain
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little heart won't be the same
But I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
You better not
Well, up in Chicago
I was known as quite a boy
Yes I was
Down in Alabama
They call me the man of joy
Still do
Well, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
You better move away
You're standin' to close to the plain
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little heart won't be the same
Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
46.The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
Lyricist：Tom Hall
I remember the day that Clayton Delaney died
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried
It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid
They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did
Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around
I often wondered why Clayton who seemed so good to me
Never took his old guitar and made it down in Tennessee
Daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand
I know he used to pick up in Ohio with a five piece band
Clayton used to tell me, 'Son, you better put that guitar away
There ain't no money in it, it'll lead you to an early gray
I guess if I'd admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze
I can see him half stoned pickin' up the Lovesick Blues
When Clayton died I made him a promise, I was gonna carry on
somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried
I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I
do
But it could be the good Lord likes a little picking too
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
47.Heaven And 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 headed for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered in 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 not there
My front tracks are headed for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered in 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
48.Mr. Shuck and Jive
Lyricist：Jimmy Webb
Tell us once again this morning
Old friend how did you win the war
Everybody loves a hero
It don't matter if they've heard the tale before
And tell us of the time
When almost everybody knew you were a star
And how intelligent you are
Prove that you're alive Mr. Shuck and Jive
You can tell us of the man
Who stole your fortune and nearly ruined your life
Or better still, the one about the TV
And the couch and your best friend's wife
Tell us of grand projects never finished
With somebody else to blame
And all the reasons that your fame
Just never did arrive, Mr. Shuck and Jive
If you can get yourself together
Kindly write a criticism of this song
How it's exquisitely constructed
And yet mechanical and somehow slightly wrong
And you can put it in your book
About the enemy you never even met
You know you just might make it yet
But somehow you'll survive Mr. Shuck and Jive
49.Don't Cuss the Fiddle
Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson
I scandalized my brother
While admitting that he sang some pretty songs
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
And Lord, I knew that that was wrong
Well, I'm looking at it over somethin' cool
And feeling fool enough to see
What I had called my brother on
Now he had every right to call on me
Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song
I found a wounded brother
Drinkin' bitterly away the afternoon
And soon enough he turned on me
Like he'd done every face in that saloon
Well, we cussed him to the ground
And said he couldn't even steal a decent song
But as soon as it was spoken
We was sad enough to wish that we were wrong
Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song
I know that it sounds silly
But I think that I just stole somebody's song
She's a good hearted woman
In love with a good two timin' man
And she loves him in spite of the way
That she don't understand
50.The Year 2003 Minus 25
Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson
Welcome to 2003 minus 25
Oh, say can you smell her for the smoke
God's still up there laughin' so He's gotta be alive
Who says He can't take a dirty joke
Power isn't, power does and power slips away
It's so easy to abuse
Who'd've thought them Arabs would've bought
The USA just to give it to the Jews
Singin' crime still don't pay just like it used to
And you know that time slips away till you die
And you know that I don't give a damn when I choose to
And you know that it don't hurt so bad when you're high
Oh, say does the future of the homesick
And the brave even matter anymore
There ain't no more reason for them boys
To run away than there was to fight before
Would you tell me why the hell we'd try to win back in a war
What we wasted in the last？
Might just ain't as righteous as it used to be before
When your army's out of gas
Singin' crime still don't pay just like it used to
And you know that time slips away till you die
And you know that I don't give a damn when I choose to
And you know that it don't hurt so bad when you're high
Singin' crime still don't pay just like it used to
And you know that time slips away till you die
And you know that I don't give a damn
51.Laid Back Country Picker
Lyricist：Jim Casey, Vince Matthews
South bound out of Shreveport heading hell bent for his grave
He reads a sign on the barn door that says the good lord Jesus
saves
But I don't think Jesus knows him 'cause he ain't the Jesus kind
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
He gave the folks a good show at the Shreveport Coliseum
They all heard he's dying, so they all come out to see
Friends and neighbors make him happy
Lord them snuff queens treat him kind
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down
His old troubles keep on swimming 'cause their to damn mean to
drown
He keeps looking for an answer I know he's never gonna find
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
Big Bertha, back in Beaumont says he really turns her on
She hits the floor a dancing, when the DJ plays his song
You can see somebody loves him, or at least they did one time
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down
His old troubles keep on swimming 'cause their to damn mean to
drown
He keeps looking for an answer I know he's never gonna find
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
