1.Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold.
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis,
And each night begins a new day.
If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young,
He'll prob'ly just ride away.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do,
Sometimes won't know how to take him.
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him,
Do things to make you think he's right.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.
2.Good Hearted Woman
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson
A long time forgotten the dreams that just fell by the way
The good life he promised, ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times
And the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had
And all the good times to come
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good hearted woman lovin' a good timin' man
He likes the bright lights and night life and good timin'
friends
And when the party's all over, she'll welcome him back home
again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that
she can
This a good hearted woman lovin' a good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
She loves me in spite of my wicked ways that she don't
understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good hearted woman lovin' a good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
But then she don't understand
3.Luckenbach,Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)
Lyricist：B Emmons, C Moman
There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song 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 feuding
Like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newberry'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 choking 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 building on
May be 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 feuding
Like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newberry'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 Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feuding
Like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs and blue eyes
Cryin' in the rain, out in Luckenbach Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain
4.Theme From The Dukes Of Hazzard： Good Ol' Boys
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
Just a good ol' boys never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born
Straightenin' the curves, yeah
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will
Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
Makin' 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 momma loves me
But she don't understand
They keep a showin' my hands and not my face on TV, ha, ha
5.Rainy Day Woman (1975)
Oh rainy day woman
I've never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
That woman of mine she ain't happy
Unless she finds something wrong and has someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
I woke up this morning to the sunshine
It sure as hell looks just like rain
I know where to go on a cloudy day
Oh rainy day woman
I've never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
Oh rainy day woman
I've never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
6.Never Could Toe The Mark (1984)
I've always loved the ladies; ladies love the games
Seems the things they want the most is they always want to
change
The only thing that changes is my mind
I never could toe the mark and I never could walk the line
Some things don't come easy; others should be free
I'd gladly give my heart to you, but the rest belongs to me
I don't mean to be a waste of time
I never could toe the mark and I never could walk the line
I like Southern Comfort; it does a thing on me
Takes me home to a gentle touch and wants what's left to me
She's got her own space and I got mine
She don't toe the mark and I don't walk the line
She's got her own space and I got mine
She don't toe the mark, and I don't walk the line
7.Wrong (1990)
It was a picture perfect wedding
We had the whole world at our feet
Everyone thought we were heading
Down a lovers easy street
We'd have a house out in the country
A picket fence, the whole nine yards
They said our love would last forever
It was written in the stars
Wrong
I should have known it all along
When the future looks to bright can't be anything but right
Wrong
I was all but devastated
When she told me we were through
In a while the heartache faded
And I found somebody new
I swore that this time would be different
I had it all figured out
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
I knew what love was all about
Wrong
I should have known it all along
When the future looks to bright can't be anything but right
Wrong
Everything was going strong
The sky was always blue I thought my dreams had all come true
Wrong
Wrong
8.Jack A Diamond
Jack a diamond jack a diamond take my money you can have my life

You can have my precious silver studded saddle oh Lord
But you cannot take my soul cannot take my soul today
Sweet mamma oh sweet mamma won't you say you love me

But you cannot take my soul Lord you cannot take my soul today
Jack a diamond jack a diamond gonna be alright
9.Outlaw Shit
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I'm for law and order
The way that it should be
This song's about the night they spent
Protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws
In some old magazine
New York sent a posse down
Like I ain't never seen
Don't you think this outlaw shit
Has gotten out of hand？
What started out to be a joke
The law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose
That got me busted by the man？
This ain't it, this outlaw shit
Has gotten out of hand, out of hand
We were wrapped up in the music
That's why we never saw
The cars pull up, the boys get out
And the room fill up with law
They came pounding through the back door
In the middle of my song
They got me for possession of something
That was long gone
Don't you think this outlaw shit
Has gotten out of hand？
What started out to be a joke
The law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose
That got me busted by the man？
This ain't it, this outlaw shit
Has gotten out of hand, out of hand
10.I Ain't Livin Long Like This
I look for trouble and i found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I tried to run but i don't think i can
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
Son of a carhop and some all night dives
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All i remember was a drunk man's breath
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man down town
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but i don't know how
I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby？
11.Are You Ready for the Country
Lyricist：Neil Young
Slippin' and a-slidin', playin' Dominoes
Leftin' and a-rightin' ain't a crime, you know
Well, I gotta tell the story before it's time to go
Well, are you ready for the country？
Are you ready for me？
Are you ready for the country？
Ain't that the sight to see？
Talkin' to a preacher, said God was on his side
Talkin' to a butcher, they both were sellin' hide
Well, I gotta tell the story, boys
I don't know the reason why
Are you ready for the country？
Are you ready for me？
Are you ready for the country？
Ain't that a sight to see？
Are you ready for the country？
Are you ready for me？
Better get ready for the country
Ready for me
Are you ready for the country？
Ready for me？
Are you ready for the country？
Ain't that the sight to see？
12.Lonesome, On'ry and Mean
Lyricist：Steve Young
On a greyhound bus
Lord, I'm travelin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport
And down to New Orleans
Been travelin' these highways
Been doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome
On'ry and mean
God her hair was jet black
And her name was Bodine
Thought she was the cream
Of the basin street queens
She got tired
Of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome
On'ry and mean
We got together
And we cashed in our sweeps
Gave onto a beggar
Who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping
From his snowy white dream
On'ry and lonesome
On'ry and mean
I'm down in this valley
Where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray
To the Lord of my soul
I say do Lord
Do right by me
You know I'm tired of being lonesome
On'ry and mean
13.Waymore's Blues
Lyricist：Curtis Buck, Waylon Jennings
Well I woke up this morning it was drizzling rain
Around the curve called a passenger train
I heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he's dead, it's been a long time gone
Been a long time gone, a long time gone
If you want to get to heaven got to D I E
You got to put on your coat and T I E
Want to get the rabbit out of the L O G
You gotta make a commotion like a D O G
Like a D O G, like a D O G, yeah
Well I got a good woman, what's the matter with me
What makes me want to love every woman I see
I was traveling when I met her, now I'm traveling again
And every woman she sees looks like a place I came in
Looks like a place I came in, yeah, place I came in
I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude, I don't have to work, I don't have to
work, oh
14.White Room
Lyricist：Pete Brown, Jack Bruce
In the white room with black curtains in the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, brightening moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you in the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
15.I Found The Body
16.Tulsa
(Wayne C. Thompson)
When I left Tulsa Jamie was an innocent young lady
God only knows why she gave herself to a guy like you
She called me cryin' said she was gonna have your baby
You just turned your back on her like all cowards do.
I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through
And the only reason I ain't got you
Jamie cried and begged me not to
She still loves you for some reason
But don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
If the sun goes down on you
If you're still here you're goin' down too
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
--- Instrumental ---
Jamie is the only thing I ever really cared for
She don't deserve this kind of shame
She's carryin' the child that you're to blame for
You just laughed and said
There ain't no way it's gonna get your name.
But I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through
And the only reason I ain't got you
Jamie cried and begged me not to
But I ain't through with you yet
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
Better not let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa...
17.Heroes
Songwriters：Emmons, B; Moman, C
Son you make me feel so proud
I pop the buttons of my shirt
I know I said I'd take you to the lake today
But I'm going to have to break those plans and it really hurts.
Every time I go fishin' it'd always start me wishin'
That I could be a child again
Take my 50 cents and go down to the local picture show
To watch my heroes rope and ride.
Most times they'd win but when they'd lose
It always made me cry
Ain't nothing quite as sad
As watching your heroes die
One by one as they fall
Soon there'll be no heroes at all.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I guess the fish just ain't bitin'
Just as well it don't feel like fightin'
All in all it just ain't that great a fishin' day
That old newspaper headline
Kind of wrapped around this old heart of mine
Another big one got away.
And I can't count the times he's made me laugh
But this time he's made me cry
There ain't nothing quite as sad
As watching your heroes die
One by one as they fall
Soon there'll be no heroes at all...
18.Crown Prince
His father was a Princeton lawyer
A man of means
His mother summa-cum-laude
Former beauty queen
With a house as big as a hotel
On Spencer Boulevard
That's where he got his start
Eighteen years of summer camp
And private schools
All American golden boy
With a silver spoon
His future held all the promise of a president
Wonder where it went
It's hard to be the crowned prince
When it all hits home
You can't hide behind the wall
Around the throne
The real world's not a playground
It's a danger zone
You find out who you really are
When the pressures on
He's the first one in his family to wind up second best
He couldn't pass the test
His share of the fortune
Spent on saving face
His family comes to visit
On the holidays
Sometimes it's so quite there
He hears the flowers bloom
He's got a private room
It's hard to be the crowned prince
When it all hits home
You can't hide behind the wall
Around the throne
Insanity is a state of mind
Where life begins
Or where it ends
It all depends
19.America
Lyricist：Sammy Johns
Some have said down through history
If you last, it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, America
Well, I come from down around Tennessee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, America
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America
All the men who fell on the plains
And lived through hardship and pain
America, America
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, America
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America
Well, I come from down around Tennessee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
And don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, America, America, America
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America
It's home sweet home, America
America, America
20.Amanda
Lyricist：B Mcdill
I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you, a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you, a gentleman's wife
It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
And I finally made forty, still wearing jeans
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you, a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you, a gentleman's wife
21.Alone
Lyricist：Delois Moller
Isn't there anyone
Who'll take me like I am？
Someone who's willing
To take the blue in man
Someone that's pleased enough
With himself to let me be
Someone who'd love me
And try to understand my needs
No, I guess there isn't
And there's no place
I can go I guess
I'm destined to be alone
Good thing that somewhere
In this world there'll be
Someone who wouldn't
Always try to change me
Someone not trying to prove
Their way is right
Take a flame that's burnin'
And just put out the light
No, I guess there isn't
And there's no place
I can go I guess
I'm destined to be alone
22.Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Lyricist：Chuck Berry
Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a walkin' thirty miles en route to L.A.
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
Been a lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Mama told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man
Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
Been a lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble is brown eyed handsome man
23.Just Across The Way
Lyricist：Hollis R De Laughter
Just across the way a house is dark
I can hardly see
Just a cross the way lives a girl
Who's so in love with me
But I'm such a bitter soul
Whose memories seemed to always get their way
So I live here with my memories
She lives there with her love just across the way
Just across the way
I can see her in the window watching me
With her face rest to the pain
And her eyes look more tear stained everyday
But I'm such a bitter soul
Whose memories keep standing in her way
I'm so lonely with my memories
She's lonely with her love just across the way
Just across the way might as well be
In the heavens on a star
We're just close enough together
To see just what far apart we are
But I'm such a bitter soul
Whose memories keep standing in the way
I'm so lonely with my memories
She's lonely with her love just across the way
Just across the way, just across the way
24.Don't Play The Game
Lyricist：George Willard Pollock
The hardest thing you ever do is love yourself, that gal don't
love you
She'll cause you sleepless nights and endless pain
But if you don't like the rules don't play the game
Every time that girl walks by your heart will ache, your very
soul will die
But love one sided, it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game
You think by now I see the fool, I've been given my heart a
chance to win
Well, I do but I don't, I will but I won't deep inside I know
I'll do again
The hardest thing you ever do is love yourself, that gal don't
love you
With love one sided, it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game
If you don't like the rules don't play the game
25.Shutting Out The Light
Lyricist：Woody Starr
I left the light in my window burning bright for you
And the door to this heart of mine, I left that open too
We once had a love together, I believe that it was true
But now you search for somethin' better
So I'm shutting out the light on you
Yes, I'm shutting out the light in my window
Locking up the heart that beats for you
This heart of mine can't take it any longer
So I'm shutting out the light on you
I still recall when you told me
But I've made your every dream come true
But we now are dreaming of another
But baby, are you only foolin' you？
If I had a chance I'd wait forever
There's no use pursuing what's not true
This heart of mine can't take it any longer
So I'm shutting out the light on you
26.I May Never Pass This Way Again
Lyricist：Ray Buzzeo
Little girl
Don't be so quick to give your love so free
Little girl
What makes you want to throw yourself with me？
Just in your teens
You're lookin' more like twenty one
You run ahead of life when it's only just begun
Don't you know I may never pass this way again？
Little girl, you'd better go before I'd change my mind
Little girl, walk away while you still have the time
It's just a part of growin' up someday you'll see
Then you'll wonder what you ever saw in me
Don't you know I may never pass this way again？
Mama sets home awaitin' you to call
By now Daddy's lookin' tired
Wonder what can she be
And what she's doin' out now late at night
Little girl, you better go
Before I lose all sense and my control
I'll be crossed, bridge down on the road
And you'll be left behind to pay the toll
I may never pass this way again
Little girl, wait for him he'll soon be on his way
Little girl, you think within what I'd do today
It's just a part of growin' up someday you'll see
And then you'll wonder what you ever saw in me
Don't you know I may never pass this way again
I may never pass this way again
27.The Thirty Third Of August
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
And I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound.
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
And I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound...
28.Yellow Haired Woman
Yellow haired woman good for nothing empty headed
Most lovely creature that I've seen
With lips that kiss with such a firy stain
Many times I've dreamed of leaving my life behind knowin' all
the while
I'm a victim of the smile of this yellow haired woman
Yellow woman flows across this rich satin bed
Magnificed of perfect feature leaving nothing left unsaid
As I listen to her breathing suddenly I find no escape I'm weary
kind
Who sets it up my mind it's this yellow haired woman
Many times I've dreamed of leaving my life behind knowin' all
the while
I'm a victim of the smile of this yellow haired woman
29.Where Love Has Died
If my years were less if my shoes were new I'd pack my things
and I'd leave you
Hitch myself to some westbound train you'd never see me here
again
If I could dream as I once could I'd be gone gone for good
I don't want to live haven't another try in some old house where
love has died
We once had love it's gone now don't know when don't know how
We're two strangers under one roof no need to like it we both
know the truth
Love has gone there's nothing left I wanna leave I can't help
myself
I don't want to live haven't another try in some old house where
love has died
Too many ghosts walk the floor ghosts of the love that ain't no
more
I'd like to have what we once had and there ain't no use that's
too bad
You're too much a part of me for me to be ever free
We keep living but never try in some old house where love has
died
30.All Of Me Belongs To You
Lyricist：Merle Haggard
All of me belongs to you all the time
You're the only one that's ever on my mind
There's no way that I would ever be untrue
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you
My eyes 're worthless when you're not here to see
My lips would be forgotten if you forgotten me
My arms ached from reaching out to you the way they do
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you
Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams
Searchin' for a love I lost, I can't redeem
I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new
There's not one single part of me that my heart don't include
All of me belongs to you
All of me belongs to you
31.Yes, Virginia (Remake)
I've been telling you there's someone else, Virginia.
Your not listening and this time I think you should.
But, you've never cared for me, have you Virginia？
So you just can't see how anybody could.
Chorus：
Yes, Virginia. There is another woman.
And she loves me like I used to wish you'd do.
Yes, Virginia. There is another woman.
Now I need her more than I ever needed you.
I have never measured up to what you wanted.
I'm through trying now I know, I never can.
That's the reason why I love her so, Virginia.
She accepts me just exactly like I am.
Chorus：
Yes, Virginia. There is another woman.
And she loves me like I used to wish you'd do.
Yes, Virginia. There is another woman.
Now, I need her more than I ever needed you.
Yes, Virginia. There is another woman.
Now, I need her more than I ever needed you...
32.This Time Tomorrow (I'll Be Gone)
Lyricist：Joe Maphis, Rose Lee Maphis
Girls have been a weakness all of my life
But I made a big mistake and I took one for a wife
I've thought that she was different, I could settle down
But she won't and I didn't by now I'm leavin' town
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
I'll be a datin' those Southern belles, there'll be no days of
blue
All the queens in New Orleans, I'll get around with you
When sun went down, I'll come back up, I'll be countin' every
hour
Till I'm back headin' South for sweet, sweet magnolia flowers
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
This time tomorrow I'll be gone
33.Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues
Lyricist：Danny O'keefe
Everybody's gone away
Since they're movin' to L.A.
There ain't a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town'll waste your mind
Must be right 'cause it's wasted mine
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
My old heart keeps telling me
There ain't no kid at thirty-three
Play around and lose your wife
You play too long and lose your life
I got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
Sometimes I'd like to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' town
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
34.Drinkin' and Dreamin'
Lyricist：Max D. Barnes, Troy Harold Seals
Everybody's lookin' for some way
I'm lookin' for some way out
I've been wastin' my time standin' alone
If this is what it's all about
All I got is a job that I don't like
And a woman that don't understand
So tonight at the bar I'll get in my car
And take off for the promise land
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or Old Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink â~til I'm dreamin' a thousand miles out of my mind
This suit and this tie is just a disguise
This ain't really me
Some people are born, to be tied down
Some people are born to be free
When I look down the road, she don't know
How it gets under my skin
She's got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there ridin' the wind
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or Old Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink â~til I'm dreamin' a thousand miles out of my mind
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or Old Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink â~til I'm dreamin' a thousand miles out of my mind
35.Rainy Day Woman
Lyricist：W Jennings
Oh, rainy day woman
I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
That woman of mine, she ain't happy
'Til she finds something wrong and someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
Woke up this mornin' to the sunshine
It sure as Hell looks just like rain
But I know where to go on a cloudy day
Oh, rainy day woman
I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
36.Only Daddy That ll Walk The Line
Lyricist：I Bryant
Everybody knows you been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep a steppin' out of line and a messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
I keep a working every day all you wanna do is play
I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm a comin' unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
You keep a packin' up my clothes nearly everybody knows
That you're still just a puttin' me on
When I start a walking gonna hear you start a squawking
And a beggin' me to come back home
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
37.Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
Lord it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here？
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It's been the same way for years
We need to change
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we're all sure that you will
But I don't think Hank done it this way, no
I don't think Hank done it this way, okay
Ten years on the road, making one night stand
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I'll understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way？
Did old Hank really do it this way？
Lord I've seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs, one of his now and then
But I don't think Hank done 'em this way, no
I don't think Hank done 'em this way, take it home
38.Storms Never Last (1981)
Lyricist：Jessi Colter
Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steals the thunder
You make the sun want to shine
Oh, I followed you down so many roads, baby
I picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road we took, God knows, our search was for the truth
And the storms brewin' down now won't be the last
Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steals the thunder
You make the sun want to shine
Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steals the thunder
You make the sun want to shine
Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
39.Mental Revenge
Lyricist：Mel Tillis
I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with
He gets drunk and loses his job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty, rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all, if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
Well, I hope that the train
From Caribou Maine
Runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor
From door to door
And pull out your peroxide hair
You never was my woman
'Cause you were never true
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
40.If Ole Hank Could See Us Now
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger 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
Their 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)
41.Dreaming My Dreams With You
Lyricist：Allen Reynolds
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
And maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
42.Lucille
Lyricist：Roger Bowling, Hal Bynum
One two three four
In a barroom in Toledo, across from the depot
On a barstool, she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her, her name
When the drinks finally hit her, she said, 'I'm no quitter'
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
Hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror, I saw him, I closely watched him
I saw the look in his eyes
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
And slowly started to cry
His big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
For a minute, I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
As he turned to the woman and said
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
She said, 'Let's go have a ball'
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all
Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me
She must've thought that I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her
Came back to me time after time
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
43.Ramblin' Man
Lyricist：Ray Pennington
I've been down the Mississippi
Down through New Orleans
Yes, I have
I've played in California
There ain't too much I haven't seen
No, there ain't
Well, 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
Another girl in Cincinnati
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows
Poor girl
I'm a ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man
You'd better move away
You're standin' too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind
Your little heart won't beat the same
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
Better not
Well, up in Chicago
I was known as 'Quiet 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'd better move away
You're standin' too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind
Your little heart won't beat the same
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
44.Just to Satisfy You
Lyricist：Don Bowman, Waylon Jennings
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts must break, how many will it take
To satisfy you, just to satisfy you
Another love, another fool
To play your game
Another love, another fool
They're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late, a heart that just won't
break
To satisfy you, just to satisfy you
How many tears were cried, how many dreams have died
To satisfy you, just to satisfy you
Just to satisfy you
45.Write Your Own Songs
Lyricist：Willie Nelson
You call us heathens with zero, respect for the law
We are only songwriters, just writing our songs and that's all
We write what we live and we live what we write is that wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs？
And don't listen to mine, they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
Mr. Purified Country, don't you know what the whole things
about？
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out？
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs？
And don't listen to mine, they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
And kiss ours
46.How Long Have You Been There
Lyricist：Dee Moeller
I've been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the
sun could shine
I've turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be
mine
Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to anything that I might
share
Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there
Every path I've taken, I've turned around and quickly closed the
door
It seems that all I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more
I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere
Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there
How long have you been standing there protecting me from love
That shouldn't be, knowing all alone that I would realize
That you were meant for me
Now I've got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have
burned
And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn
For now I realize that you've been waiting just to teach me how
to care
Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there
Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there
47.Grey Eyes You Know
Lyricist：Harlan Howard, Gene Myers
That cold north wind is blowing grey eyes you know
The years are quickly going grey eyes you know
And the good life I promised you so long ago
Is dead but for a dreaming grey eyes you know
We never had much money grey eyes you know
More rainy days than sunny grey eyes you know
And life has been a long hard road to hoe
But you stuck right by me smiling grey eyes you know
Hard times took the blue from your eyes
Leaving them grey as the winter's skies
We've had our talk, now I must walk away
Leave you here beneath this mound of clay
And I feel so empty as I turn to go
For my heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know
My heart lies there beside you grey eyes you know
48.Two Old Sidewinders
Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Hank Cochran, Vern Gosdin
You load the horses, I'll pack the rigger
Let's tell 'em goodbye and walk out the door
One drink and one kiss can lead to too many
We ought to know 'cause we been there before
Eight hours of ridin' will put us in Houston
Two hours of sleep to make it or bust
Eight seconds of glory, you stay in the money
And five year old whiskey to wash down the dust
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
That's all we ever intended to be
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
Two old sidewinders like you and me
Let's find us a place and a couple of ladies
Someone to lie to someone to trust
Someone, who's impressed by a couple of outlaws
Who's gold plated trophies have turned into rust
Now we're damned near broke and we keep buyin' whiskey
Do you think they might settle for a bottle of wine？
Well, those two over there right there by the jukebox
Yours don't look back hose, but just look at mine
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
That's all we ever intended to be
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
Two old sidewinders like you and me
49.You'll Think Of Me
Lyricist：Hank Cochran
You have her now she's your life
You're saying how she'll be your wife
And I wish I could be happy for you
But you see my friend, I've been there too
That's one more thing that'll bother you
When she treats you like she's treated me, you'll think of me
When the new wears off and the glamor's gone
But the ties that bind keep holding on and they're strong
You'll think of me being with her
Like I thought of her being with them
And you and God knows who
You're happy now but wait and see
When she treats you like she's treated me
As you wake to see who the next will be, you'll think of me
As you wake to see who the next will be, you'll think of me
50.Sing The Blues To Daddy
Lyricist：Ray Corbin
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one, who understands
I hear that your new romance has faded
Just the way ours did sometime ago
I've lost count of all the times, I've waited
For you to tell me that you've missed me so
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things don't work out, the way you planned
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Like a child that's found a brand new plaything
Each one is more fun than those before
But there's a faithful one who's always waiting
To be picked up and kicked around once more
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
51.Listen, They're Playing My Song
Lyricist：Glen Garrison, Charlie Williams
Down the street a baby just cried
When he woke up all alone
A train's leavin' town and that lonesome old sound
Is chilling me right to the bone
A song is playing, I can barely hear about
A love that's gone wrong
The freezing rain on my window pane
Listen they're playing my song
Taps being played by a soldier's grave
So sad it torments your soul
Just listen to that north wind moan
Tonight it's so dark and cold
Somewhere a siren cuts through the night sounds
Like a whole world's gone wrong
Thunder just warned but it's coming a storm
Listen they're playing my song
52.But That's All Right
Lyricist：Autry Inman
I gave my heart, I gave my all
You built me up then you let me fall
You wore my ring upon your hand
But then you changed your mind
But that's all right
I looked around and found true love
You made me laugh, you made me cry
I wished that day that I could die
You never dreamed that by and by
I'd be glad you changed your mind
Yes, that's all right
I looked around and found true love
53.Nowhere Road
Lyricist：Steve Earle, Reno Kling
There's a road in Oklahoma
Straighter than a preacher, longer than a memory
And it goes forever onward
It's been a good teacher for a lot of country boys like me
I push that load from here to someday
I'll push as long as I'm alive, but I don't know how long I'll
last
'Cause it's just a road, it ain't no highway
Blowin' by the double five, I know I'm goin' way too fast
I've been down this road just searchin' for the end
And it don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder
But you've come too far to go back home
So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
Some folks say, if you keep rollin'
And keep it on the yellow line, it'll take you to the big
highway
But there's a toll to pay, so if you're goin'
The keeper of the gate is blind so you better be prepared to pay
I've been down this road just searchin' for the end
And it don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder
But you've come too far to go back home
So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
54.How Much Is It Worth To Live In L.A.？
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
That land of silk and money where the pretty people play
When they itemize insanity, how much will you pay？
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
Now I'm not here to criticize or to put nobody down
But they're weirding out in Hollyweird every time you turn
around
And when it comes to crazy, I know whereof I speak
And I know where I'd be leaving if I were walking in their feet
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
That land of silk and money where the pretty people play
When they itemize insanity, how much will you pay？
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
There's a freeway full of traffic going every which way
People dodging bullets, crawling down the interstate
They keep waiting for the big one, one tremor at a time
Ain't nobody living there, it's all a state of mind
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
That land of silk and money where the pretty people play
When they itemize insanity, how much will you pay？
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
That land of silk and money where the pretty people play
When they itemize insanity, how much will you pay？
How much is it worth to live in L.A.？
55.Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
Lyricist：Ed Bruce, Patsy Bruce
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song, then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
And each night begins a new day
If you don't understand him, he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain morning's
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's
right
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
56.Hey Willie
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah
Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
And music meant more than fortune or fame
Willie, we wandered from border to border
Singing our stories and living our songs
Seems the farther we go, all that grows closer
Is a mind full of memories we made years ago
Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
And music meant more than fortune or fame
We rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies
Motels and hotels ain't no place to stay
The favors we're taking, the money we're making
Won't pay for the living, we're giving away
Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
And music meant more than fortune or fame
57.Trouble Man
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Tony Joe White
I was so ugly the doctor slapped my momma when I was born
Then he took out his pocket knife and cut off my horns
He said, â½Lady if you ain't already picked out a name
Go ahead on and call him Trouble Man'
He's gonna be wild
I'm giving you warning
He's gotta have room
Keep an eye on him
I grew up with long and lean and hungry looks
I learned you can't go nowhere when you go by the book
People all around me earthbound, I learned how to fly
Upside, downside, outside, sailing on by
Out of my reach
Out of my hands
Out of control
Trouble Man
Yeah
I've been so far in all directions as you can get
I ain't never had enough of anything yet
I have women that tore me apart without any reason
I say, â½Baby I don't get mad I just get evenâ
I don't explain
If you don't understand
I'm my own man
Trouble Man
Trouble man
58.If You Can Touch Her at All
Lyricist：Lee Clayton
Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist, I don't watch her undresses or watch her, watch me
Then stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if she were gold
One night of love, don't make up for six nights alone
Well, I'd rather have one than none, Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Sometimes it seems, she ain't worth the trouble at all
But she can 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 weary and weak as a newborn child
Fighting to get its first breath and open his eyes
One night of love, don't make up for six nights alone
Well, I'd rather have one than none, Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Sometimes it seems, she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
59.San Francisco Mabel Joy
Lyricist：Mickey Newbury
His daddy was a honest man,a red dirt Georgia farmer
His mama lived a short life having kids and bailing hay
He had fifteen years of ache inside to wander
He jumped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L.A
The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross Georgia farm boy
Most days he went hungry,then the summer came
He met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco Mabel Joy
Destitutions child born on an L.A. street called shame
Growing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel Joy
Laughter found their mornings it brought new meaning to his life
The night before she left sleep came and found that Waycross
country boy
With dreams of Georgia cotton and California wine
Sunday morning found him beneath the red light at her door
A right cross sent him reeling and put him face down on the
floor
Inplace of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine
He said your Georgia neck is red,but sonny you're still green
He turned twenty-one in grey rock federal prison
The judge had no mercy on this Waycross,Georgia boy
Staring at those four grey wall in silence,Lord he listened
To the midnight freight he knew could take him back to Mabel Joy
Sunday morning found him beneath the red light at her door
With a bullet in his side he cried,have you seen Mabel Joy
Stunned and shaken someone said she don't live here no more
She left this house four years ago she was looking for
Some Georgia farm boy
60.Where Does Love Go
Lyricist：S Bogard, R Giles
There's a photograph in a gold frame on the mantle
I've never seen two people more in love
What a stark contrast to the picture of us standing
On the edge of giving in and giving up
Something so real don't just disappear
If it goes away it must go somewhere
Till we find the answer, we've got to hold on
Where does love go when it's gone？
Where does love go when it's gone？
Life's a long highway with a lot of private places
There's times that we've both thought of finding one
But there ain't no way we're giving up forever
It's like saying there won't be a rising sun
Something so real don't just disappear
If it goes away it must go somewhere
Till we find the answer we've got to hold on
Where does love go when it's gone？
Where does love go when it's gone？
61.What You'll Do When I'm Gone
Lyricist：Larry Butler
Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walkin' out that door
I know someday I will
Though I'm standing still someday I will
I know someday I will
As right as we were, we are wrong
Nothing's going to change what we've done
They only thing that keeps me from going, baby
Is wondering what you'll do when I'm gone
There's something in your eyes
I swear your eyes are telling me goodbye
Goodbye's in your eyes
You can call it cries
My thoughts of someone else here by your side
It's killin' me inside
As right as we were, we are wrong
Nothing's going to change what we've done
They only thing that keeps me from going, baby
Is wondering what you'll do when I'm gone
Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walkin' out that door
62.Old Five And Dimers
Lyricist：Billy Shaver
I've spent the lifetime making up my mind to be
More than the measure of what I thought others could see
Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between
Catalog buyers and old five and dimers like me
She stood beside me letting me know she would be
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Fenced yards ain't hole cards, like is not never will be
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's taking me so long and now that I know I believe
All that I do or say is all I ever will be
Too far and too high, and too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be
63.Sunset And Wine
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
I left the old farm down in Texas
And bummed all around for a time
Then one day I found myself staring
At a sign that read Sunset and Vine
The big cars and the beautiful women
Put beautiful thoughts in my mind
I decided to be a great actor
On the corner of Sunset and Vine
Then a man with a cigar approached me
And he put his face right to mine
And declared a great star hit this cover
On the corner of Sunset and Vine
Well, I thought he was right for a while
For the band seemed to thrill with each line
And they put my name in the sidewalk
Near the corner of Sunset and Vine
Now six wives and six divorces later
I'm down to one very thin dime
And I wish I was back home in Texas
And I'd never seen Sunset and Wine
I wish I'd never seen Sunset and Vine
64.New York City, R.F.D.
Lyricist：Larry Collins, Alice Joy
From Herte, Mississippi to Tupelo
Then I caught an eastbound freight
With sky high hopes opened out scopes
And hurt all over my face
New York City is a bad place to be
When you're out of your head
Country style, running wild country style
The new wears off and time wears off
And my roots are showin' through
But nobody cares about from where you came
But what they can get out of you
And New York City is a bad place to be
When you're out of your head
Country style, running wild country style
What would mom and daddy say
If they saw me this a way
Would they pray for me？ Yes, they would
But nobody's heard about rainy day women
In that Herte, Mississippi neighborhood
And New York City is a bad place to be
When you're out of your head
Country style, running wild country style
New York City is a bad place to be
When you're out of your head
Country style, running wild country style
65.Old Age And Treachery
Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Troy Harold
Seals
Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Ain't too much that we won't do
What Waylon won't Willie will
Even though we've spent our lives
Charging up the wrong side of the hill
Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Some people say that our
Get up and go's, got up and gone
I don't know 'bout you, Willie
But I can still jump as high
I just can't stay that high that long
Even though we've spent our lives
Charging up the wrong side of the hill
Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Young bull says, 'Old bull let's run
That heifer down and have a ball
Let's make her squawl'
Old bull says, 'Young bull let's just
Ease on a down and love 'em all'
Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Rosie loves the raquet ball
She won't do it but her sister will
Damn, what'd you say that for
Ain't got a thing to do with this
I know what you're tryin' to do
You're tryin' to get half a song
Okay, we'll put your name on it
66.Yes, Virginia
Lyricist：Liz Anderson
I've been telling you there's someone else Virginia
You're not listening and this time, I think you should
But you've never cared for me, have you Virginia？
So you just can't see how anybody could
Yes Virginia, there is another woman
And she loves me like I used to wish you'd do
Yes Virginia, there is another woman
Now I need her more than I ever needed you
I have never measured up to what you've wanted
I'm through trying now, I know I never can
That's the reason why I love her so Virginia
She accepts me just exactly like I am
Yes Virginia, there is another woman
And she loves me like I used to wish you'd do
Yes Virginia, there is another woman
Now I need her more than I ever needed you
67.Just Talkin'
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
We got a lot of politicians
Up there on Capitol Hill
Ain't it funny how they prosper
While the country stands still
Maybe I should run for office
But I just like to talk
I ain't about to run for nothing
I don't even like to walk
Aw, that's just a lot of talkin'
Some is big, some is small
Just runnin' my head
I'm just talkin' that's all
Modern day matrimony
Is a pre-some kind of deal
You need a preacher and a lawyer
Just to tell you how you feel
Now I believe in love and marriage
I guess you need a license too
But all that really gives you
Is the legal right to sue
Aw, that's just a lot of talkin'
Some is big, some is small
Just runnin' my head
I'm just talkin' that's all
And then there's you and me, babe
Ain't we some kinda sight
We won't go down in history
And then again we might
But that don't really matter
Just as long as we both know
We'll still be together
At the close of the show
Aw, that's just a lot of talkin'
It don't make a lot of sense
I ain't out to hurt nobody
It's at my own expense
Yea, it's just a lot of talkin'
Some is big, some is small
Just runnin' my head
I'm just talkin' that's all
Just talkin' that's all
68.Silent Partners
Lyricist：Bobby Braddock
He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips
She stands by the jukebox, a sweet smile on her lips
He slowly walks up to her, she reaches out for him
It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them
Then he says, and she says
Silent partners,they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners
Later in their love nest at half past ecstasy
They cling to each other and lie there silently
She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart
And he would like to bare his soul but don't know where to start
So he says, and she says
Silent partners, they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners, silent partners, silent
partners
69.Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down
Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson
Well, I woke up Sunday mornin' with no way
To hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled through my closet to my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
Stumbled down the stair to meet the day
Well, I'd smoke my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid
Cussing the can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
The Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalk
Wishing Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park, I saw a daddy
With the laughin' little girl that he was swinging
Then I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the songs they were singing
I headed back for home and somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalk
Wishing Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
70.A World Of Our Own
Lyricist：Tom Springfield
We'll build the world of our own
That no one else can share
All our sorrows will leave
Far behind the stairs
And I know you will find
There'll be peace of mind
And we'll live in a world of our own
Close the door, light the lights
We'll stay at home tonight
Far away from the bustle
And the bright city lights
Let the world fade away
Just leave us alone
And we'll live in a world of our own
We'll build the world of our own
That no one else can share
All our sorrows will leave
Far behind the stairs
Oh, my love, oh, my love
I've cried for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping
While I long for your touch
Now your lips can erase
The heartache we've known
Come with me to the world of our own
We'll build the world of our own
That no one else can share
All our sorrows will leave
Far behind the stairs
And I know you will find
There'll be peace of mind
And we'll live in a world of our own
71.Wastin' Time
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I've been thinking it over wondering what to do
Up to now I've been leaving it up to you
But you'll always be the way you've always been
I ain't got the time to go through that again
I've been wasting time and I'm to blame
Living with things I couldn't change
And the one conclusion I've come to
I've been wasting time and a lot of good love on you
I've made up my mind to make my move
It's just a waste of time to wait on you
I'm set to leave and you're set in your ways
You can't change and if you can't I can't stay
I've been wasting time that I can't spare
Wastin' love when you don't care
And the one conclusion I've come to
I've been wasting time and a lot of good love on you
I've been wasting time and I'm to blame
Living with things I couldn't change
And the one conclusion I've come to
I've been wasting time and a lot of good love on you
72.Breakin' Down
Lyricist：Steve Joseph Hardin
I've been a fool, fool, such a fool
I've been a fool, fool, such a fool
Thinking you'll return my love to me
Thinking life would be what I want it to be
I lay awake at night and I roam around
I've been a fool and I'm breakin' down
I've been lost, baby, so lost
I've been down, baby, so low
Being so lonely's so hard on a man
Baby, I know you just must understand
I've been trying hard as any man can
To be your man and I'm breakin' down
I love you, baby, I do
Take my heart and my soul, it all belongs to you
But stay with me, please, baby, please
My heart's in your hand and my mind between your knees
You know what to do that could put it all at ease
Look at me, I'm breakin' down
73.The Greatest Cowboy Of Them All
Lyricist：John R Cash
I have always had my heroes
I've loved a lot of legends
Many men in my mind are ridin' tall
But my cowboy hero heads off
To a man who rode a donkey
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He loves all his little doggies
Speaks to them kind and gently
And he'll lift up any maverick that falls
He sees every stray that scatters
Like he's the only one that matters
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
But some returned in sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I'll get my roll together
Gettin' ready for that round-up
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail he rides is narrow
But it's straighter than an arrow
And he rides point for all the great and small
He will take us through the wire
Onto a plain that's higher
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
But some returned in sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I'll get my roll together
Gettin' ready for that round-up
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail he rides is narrow
But it's straighter than an arrow
And he rides point for all the great and small
He will lead us through the wire
Onto a plain that's higher
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
74.I Never Cared For You
Lyricist：W Nelson
The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you
I know you won't believe these things I tell you
I know you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned, all men will lie to you
Your mind cannot conceive
Now all depends on what I say to you
And on your doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from true
Pay heed and disbelieve
The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you
The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you
I never cared for you, I never cared for you
75.Pretend I Never Happened
Lyricist：Willie Nelson
Pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
For a place I hope I find
All the places must be better
Than the ones I leave behind
I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
But if you ever think about me
And if I ever cross your mind
Just pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind, girl
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
But if you ever think about me
And if I ever cross your mind
Just pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
76.This Is Getting Funny (But There Ain't Nobody Laughing)
Lyricist：Michael Smotherman
I came down with a broken heart
Just to start my summer
Boy, when you lose the one you love
It's a stone cold bummer
I just called you up to tell you I don't know what to say
I wish you knew the way I felt
This is gettin' funny
There ain't nobody laughin', honey
Come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all
Can't you see it's a mystery？
I thought I was your lover
Yes, I could fly, I could lay down and die
Six one way, half a dozen of the other
I could say I'm sorry, baby, enough's enough
I'm gonna break right down and ball
This is gettin' funny
But there ain't nobody laughin', honey
Come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all
I was out to show you what a good man I could be
You were out to hurt somebody
Now I'm goin' crazy
Really did, and I ain't lying
Gets so lonesome here in L.A
My summer's turned to autumn
I don't know if you heard it way out there where you stay
My heart just hit rock bottom
I'm runnin' round in circles, I don't know where I am
Won't you at least give me a call？
This is gettin' funny
But there ain't nobody laughin', honey
Come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all
How do you feel？
Though I can't stand this all
77.A Couple More Years
Lyricist：Dennis M Locorriere, Shel Silverstein
I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
A couple a more years on you babe and that's all
Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere
And found it was nowhere at all and I picked up
A couple more years on you babe and that's all
Sayin', 'Goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all'
But you got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and told
And say I got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
You'll say, 'I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's
all'
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
A couple a more years on you babe and that's all
78.Jack-a-Diamonds
Lyricist：Daniel Moore
Jack-a-diamonds
Jack-a-diamonds
Take to my money
You can have my life of luxury
You can have my precious silver
Studded saddle, oh Lord
But You cannot take my soul
Cannot take my soul, today
Sweet mamma
Oh, sweet mamma
Won't you say you love me？
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Please tell me
I'm not really falling to pieces
Keep me tender mama
Tender now, keep me warm
Jack-a-diamonds
Jack-a-diamonds
I still got my ace, yeah
If you want me to do it I can throw it
Right in your face
Go and take my precious silver
Studded saddle, yeah
But You cannot take my soul
Lord, You cannot take my soul today
Jack-a-diamonds
Jack-a-diamonds
I'm gonna be alright
79.My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
Lyricist：Sharon Vaughn
I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
Lovin' the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of the modern-day drifter
Don't you hold on to nothin' too long
Just take what you need from the ladies then leave them
With the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are, it seems
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
From being alone too long
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
Knowin' well your best days are gone
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my years fade away
Old worn-out saddles, an old worn-out memories
With no one and no place to stay
My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are, it seems
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
80.My Ramona
Lyricist：Merle Haggard
Everybody's talking bad about Ramona
They say she's changed a lot since I've been gone
They say she may not be too glad to see me
'Cause Ramona doesn't know I'm coming home
But everybody's wrong about Ramona
They're just going by the way she's actin' now
I just can't believe the things they say about her
'Cause Ramona knows the things I wanna allow
Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore
They say I may not recognize Ramona
And going by the picture they describe
The life they say she's living sure don't fit her
But I know she's still the same sweet girl inside
Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore
81.A Bad Day
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I guess it all started when I woke up this morning
Everything seemed okay
'Til I let my pet snake get loose in the kitchen
Now I've been in trouble all day
I got some paint on the wall, a pretty orange color
And a little on the carpet and floor
I covered it up with mom's coat from the closet
That she says she can't wear anymore
I've had a bad, bad day
Not like I thought it would be
I've had a bad, bad day
It seems like everyone's pickin' on me
I put some sand in my grandpa's tobacco
And he frowned at me all day
Then I hid his pipe 'cause it smells when he smokes it
He shouldn't smoke anyway
So between mom's coat and my grandpa's tobacco
Life can be rough on a kid
They've almost worn out the seat of my britches
It don't hurt much now,but it did
I've had a bad, bad day
Not like I thought it would be
I've had a bad, bad day
It seems like everyone's pickin' on me
I've had a bad, bad day
Not like I thought it would be
I've had a bad, bad day
It seems like everyone's pickin' on me
82.You Love The Ground I Walk On
Lyricist：Harlan Howard, Don Mchan
I work so hard to win myself a place in life
And leave behind the slums and poverty
Now I have wealth, a fancy home, a pretty wife
She loves the ground I walk on but she don't love me
You like the places that I take you, don't you girl？
At last you were where you've always longed to be
You're very much at home here in this kind of world
You love the ground I walk on but you don't love me
And I know just what would happen
If there came a dawn
That I was broken down and out
I'd reach and you'd be gone
Don't worry girl, that kind of dawn will never come
You'll always have the things you want from me
But it's so sad to know that when we're all alone
You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me
You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me
83.California Sunshine
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
Go west, young man, the signs all seem to say
There's San Diego Frisco or L.A.
Leave that cold, cold woman far behind
Warm yourself in that California sunshine
Go west, young man, become a movie star
Or anything except the fool you are
Expose the lonely corners of your mind
To a little dad of that California sunshine
I need a change, I've headed up to here
She's just playing game that's very clear
But her play mate will soon be hard to find
'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine
They say those California girls are fine
They know how to really walk your mind
Well, one of you get ready 'cause you're mine
I'm headin' for that California sunshine
I need a change, I've headed up to here
She's just playing game that's very clear
But her play mate will soon be hard to find
'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine
Baby, I'll be in that California sunshine
84.Year 2000 Minus 25
Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson
Welcome to the 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 is and power does and power slips away
It's so easy to abuse
Who'd have thought them Arabs would've bought the U.S.A.
Just to give it to the Jews？
Singin' crime still don't pay, just like it used to
And time slips away 'til 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 now
Than there was the fight before
Would you tell me why the hell we tried to win back in the 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 'til 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 'til 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
85.Old Timer (The Song)
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I grew up in Wyoming
In and around Jackson's hole
In the shadows of the Tetons
Where summers are hot and winters unbearably cold
But the spring and the fall
Are always as good as it gets
For over 70 years now
I'd watch the sun rise and set
I've been a cowboy
Working the round-ups in spring
I've lived in the mountains, hunted the grizzly
Trapping the rivers and streams
Always the loner
I've treasured my freedom the most
And though I never married
As a young man I might have come close
From somewhere back east
She came to the valley with a man who did her no good
He was fast with the ladies
A tin horn gambler and a cheat whenever he could
She had no friends or family
Most of the time he was gone
He died in a card game
And she found herself all alone
Alone and afraid and left unprotected
'Cause he was all that she had
Maybe I should have but I never told her
So she never knew he was bad
But I'll always remember
Standing and watching her cry
There was no one to help her
But I was determined to try
I mended her fences and fixed up her cabin
I had everything looking good, I laid by her food
And wood for the winter
Helping wherever I could
The more I was around her
The more I wanted to be
There was something about her
That brought out a good side of me
I went into town, I brought a new outfit
I got me a haircut and shave
I'd trek through the snow
For no good reason just to go by her cabin each day
I don't know about love
But I was quite taken in by it all
Till her brother came in the spring
And he took her back to St. Paul
I don't go down to Jackson
Ain't nothing there but motels and bars
Too damn many tourists, no place to hide
They'll find you wherever you are
They like to call me old timer
I am getting older I guess
But I don't like the changes
'Cause I've seen it all at its best
When my life is over
I don't want to be left in town
But up in the mountains there is a place
I've marked off my own piece of ground
High in the Tetons
Above and away from it all
From the top of old Grand
I bet on a clear day, you can see all the way to St. Paul
86.Time Between Bottles And Wine
Lyricist：Jimmie Lee Morris
With iron in my brain I'd laid down to rest
Not carin' if I live or die
Woke up a freezin' with rain pourin' down
So hard I can't open my eyes
I been chased from the yard with dogs at my heels
Searchin' for shelter at times
But there's nothing so hard for a man on the bum
As the time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
Beggin' for pennies just one sweet taste
Of the nectar that kills the man's soul
Sweet piece of mind excuses my pride
Just somethin' that keep out the cold
It's too late for me to start living again
The good life is too far behind
I never remember the things that I've had
Till the time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
If mama could see me she wouldn't believe
I even resemble her son
She would throw her life to make me a man
And she's proud the child that she's done
What one love created another destroyed
The story is older than time
The tale of a man who just can't stand
The time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine
87.Lines
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Kimmie Rhodes
I want to be free from the noise of the grind
So I live on the outskirts of the back of my mind
With a strong hand, a song man and God on my side
I'm writing that freedom a line at a time
On the highway to nowhere that runs through my mind
A yellow line stretches out into the night
Broken in places, it's my guiding light
So I'm writing that freedom a line at a time
I'm walking a fine line between wrong and right
I can live with the problems of this day and time
Consider me lucky 'cause I'll be all right
In my mind I'm having a beautiful life
I'm lost in the feelings of this heart of mine
In search of the border of infinite time
And I find peace of mind in the songs and their rhymes
So I'm writing my freedom a line at a time
88.Julie
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
When I married Julie, she was just seventeen
Pretty as the answer to any man's dream
From the start I gave Julie all the love that I've had
Though everyone told me that Julie was bad
Julie liked parties and clothes that fit tight
Drinking and dancin' around late at night
She was everything evil with the face of a child
But I sat home and waited while my Julie went wild
I had built me an empire with my own two hands
With the money and power to break any man
But with all my possessions, power and gold
Julie was one thing I couldn't control
I gave Julie all my money could buy
Begged her to love me but she wouldn't try
She'd only laugh then walk out the door
Each time she'd hurt me, made me love her more
Now I'm locked in this room, they say I'm insane
And I guess that I'll never see my Julie again
I'm a man with a heart and a tormented soul
And the mind that Julie drove out of control
89.See You Around (On Your Way Down)
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
He offers you so many things that I can't give
I know your young heart just can't turn him down
And like you say you're free and it's your life to live
See you around on your way down
You're much too young to know
The value of a love that's true
I don't think he'll ever learn to love you
Or think half as much of you as I do
You can't see me, your head is too high in the clouds
But I'll be waiting on my side of town
In case you need me and you will I have no doubt
See you around on your way down
Like you say you're free and it's your life to live
See you around on your way down
I'll see you around, girl, on your way down
90.House of the Rising Sun
Lyricist：Alan (arr) Price
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call it The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin for many poor boys
And me, oh God I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these old blue, blue jeans
My father was a gambler
Down in New Orleans
Go tell my baby sister
Not to do the the things I've done
Outshine that house down in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin for many poor boys
And me, oh God I'm one
91.The Wurlitzer Prize (I Don't Want to Get Over You)
Lyricist：Bobby Emmons, Chips Moman
I'm not here to forget you
I'm here to recall the things we used to say and do
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
I haunt the same places we used to go
Alone at a table for two
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
They ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver I let slide down the slot
Playin' those songs sung blue
They help me remember you
I don't wanna get over you
A fresh roll of quarters, same old song
Missin' you through and through
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
They ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver that I let slide down the slot
Playin' those songs sung blue
They help me remember you
'Cause I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
92.Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
I'm for the law and order the way that it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand, out of hand
We were wrapped up in our music that's why we never saw
The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law
They came boundin' through the backdoor in the middle of a song
They got me for possession of something that was gone long gone
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
And maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand, out of
hand
93.The Broken Promise Land
Lyricist：Bill Rice, Sharon M Rice
There's a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms that shouldn't be
I'm to the point of no returning, but I've been here before
This cheating life is nothing new to me
There's someone to be considered, I call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than I planned
I don't have the heart to tell her, that a stranger turned me on
And I'm heading for the Broken Promise Land
Tonight I'm crossing over and I'll reach the cheating side
And I'll hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on
lies
The place they call the Broken Promise Land
Found the note left on the dresser and the key left in the door
And on the floor I found her golden wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me, she's not waiting here no more
And she's heading for the Broken Promise Land
Tonight she's crossing over and she'll reach the cheating side
And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance
'Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on
lies
The place they call the Broken Promise Land
And it's more than I can stand
94.The Eagle
Lyricist：H Cochran, R Lane, M Vickery
Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight, when the Eagle flies
Lately I've heard rumors that the Eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost
I can fly when I have to, if they turn the Eagle loose
So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
95.Yoyos, Bozos, Bimbos ＆ Heroes
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah
In a world full of sadness and laughter
Where we live for the now and hereafter
We're all friends and strangers wondering which way to go
Leaning on yoyos, bozos and bimbos and heroes
We got all kinds of singers and preachers
Crawlers and two-legged creatures
Selling us sermons, and songs made for the soul
Some of 'em yoyos, bozos and bimbos and heroes
Reigning like fine politicians
Dressed up in perfect disguise
Pushing their science and fiction
Mixing the truth with the lies
So why we're all busy looking for answers
There's one thing we all need to know
The difference between yoyos
Bozos and bimbos and heroes
Reigning like fine politicians
Dressed up in perfect disguise
Pushing their science and fiction
Mixing the truth with the lies
So why we're all busy looking for answers
There's one thing we all need to know
The difference between yoyos
Bozos and bimbos and heroes
The difference between yoyos
Bozos and bimbos and heroes
96.What Bothers Me Most
Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Troy Seals
I could lay aside my better judgment
I could turn my back on all the pain
Make believe you mean it when you touch me
And be fool enough to think you'd change
I'm no fool and you're not changing
You know I'm telling the heartbreaking truth
You've gone wild and I'm going crazy
And what bothers me most is I don't bother you
Late at night you're such a great temptation
I'm too weak to fight you every time
Lying in my bed of desperation
I want you lying in these arms of mine
I'm no fool and you're not changing
Oh what bothers me most is I don't bother you
97.Today I Started Loving You Again
Lyricist：M Haggard, B Owens
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Oh, today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And today I started loving you again
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And today I started loving you again
98.Casey's Last Ride
Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson
Casey joins the hollow sound
Of silent people walkin' down
The stairway to the subway
In the shadows down below
Following their footsteps
Through the neon darkened corridors
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dyin'
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine
And it's never felt the rain
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clicking of the turn stops
And the rattle of his chains
Oh, she said, Casey
It's been so long since I've seen you
Here, she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
See, she said
I've put on new stocking just to please you
Lord, she said, Casey, can you only stay a while？
Casey leaves the underground
And stops inside the Golden Crown
For something wet to wipe away
The chill that's on his bones
Seeing his reflection in the lives
Of all the lonely men
Who reach for anything they can
To keep from goin' home
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his final bitter
Never glancing in the mirror
At the people passing by
Then he stumbles as he's leavin'
And he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that's in his belly
Or the tear that's in his eye
Oh, she said, I suppose you seldom think about me
Now, she said, now that you've a family of your own
Still, she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body
Lord, she said, Casey, it's a shame to be alone
99.Same Old Lover Man
Lyricist：Gordon Lightfoot
I'm not some long lost someone
Just dropped in to say hello
I'm the same old lover man
Baby, lost so long ago
â~Cause I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me
I hear no children's voices
Have they gone back to school
It's the same old lover man
Baby, still actin' like some kinda fool
Yes, I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me
It's cold outside your window
Please let me in the night is wild
I'm the same old lover man
Baby, not some lonesome innocent child
Yes, I was born to bring a grief
Though I never was a thief
I'm the same old lover man
Baby, just dropped in to say what's new
Yes, I was born to bring a grief
I never could deceive, believe me
100.If I Could Only Fly
Lyricist：Waylon Jennings
This morning as I watched a bird
Just spread its wings and fly
It was then a thought came over me
And I wondered, why can't I？
Oh, why？ Oh, why can't I？
If I could only fly, you see
A lot of problems would be gone
When you think of just how much
I'd save on shoes alone
If I could only fly
I would never tear my clothes
Climbing in and out of trees
If I could only fly, I'd never crawl
Or wear holes in my knees
If I could only fly
How I'd love to spread my wings
And streak across the sky
I'd be off to see the world
If I could only fly
But I'd always come right back
