Waylon Jennings Unreleased Songs2

1.Shooters Theme

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Shooter you are a friend of mine
I never know for sure what's on your mind
Your imagination's working overtime but I don't mind
Shooter you are a friend of mine

You've got the whole world by the tail
A little puppy on your trail
You even have a friend no one can see
Not even me

Shooter you are a friend of mine
I never know for sure what's on your mind
Your imagination's working overtime but I don't mind
Shooter you are a friend of mine

You're my son it's plain to see
Your mom says you're a lot like me
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Shooter you are a friend of mine

Even though you are a child
Your life makes my life worthwhile
Shooter you are a friend of mine


2.Woman I Hate It

Lyricist：Rodney Crowell, Waylon Jennings

Woman, I hate, hate it
When I wreck your alibi
Woman, I hate, hate it
When I catch you telling lies

I used to be your knight in silk pyjamas
Now you're running back home to your Mama
I don't even know why
Woman I hate, hate it

Woman I hate, hate it
When you brush my moves aside
Woman I hate, hate it
When you shoot holes through my pride

I used to be your Latin lover boy
Now you treat me like a worn-out toy
Your lovin' brings me no joy
Woman I hate, hate it

I hate the way you run me round in circles
I don't know which way to go
Should I believe or should I believe me
I guess I'll never know

Woman I hate, hate it
When you make that step on me
Woman I hate, hate it
When you just won't let me be

You used to be a smilin' Mona Lisa
Take the breath from everyone that meets you
Now you don't even try
Women I hate, hate it

I hate the way you run me round in circles
I don't know which way to turn
I've made mistakes but I ain't mistaken
This time I think I've learnt

Women I hate, hate it
And my whining days are through
You're gonna hate, hate it
When the tables turn on you

If I can't be your knight in shining armour
Ain't don't treat me like no poor darn farmer
So baby, don't even try
Women I hate, hate it
Women I hate, hate it


3.You Deserve The Stars In My Crown

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah

You're the one who took the time
Looked for a reason to believe
Which shines on the better side of me

More than anyone
You're a part of all I say and do
When it's all said and done
When they remember me, they'll think of you

You always believed
That's what brought me up when I was down
And I do believe
You deserve the stars in my crown

You always believed
That's what brought me up when I was down
And I do believe
You deserve the stars in my crown

And I do believe
You deserve the stars in my crown


4.Didn't We Shine

Lyricist：D Schlitz, J Winchester

Well hello, it's good to see you, just how long has it been？
I've often wondered what I'd say if we ever met again
Would I try just being clever or pretend not to remember？
But it's funny how you'd linger on my mind

Didn't we shine, didn't we shine？
Didn't we share and care and lay our hearts on the line？
Maybe it wasn't meant to last 'til the end of time
Oh, but while it did, didn't we shine？

I still have some blue days that I could do without
And when I have my blue days you're all I think about
But I've long ago forgiven you for what you did or didn't do
Now all I can recall are the happy times

Didn't we shine, didn't we shine？
Didn't we share and care and lay our hearts on the line？
Maybe it wasn't meant to last 'til the end of time
Oh, but while it did, didn't we shine？
Was it my imagination or didn't we shine？


5.I've Been a Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be a Long Time Gone)

Lyricist：Roger Miller

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone

Loved you so much, I loved you so much
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leaving
But it'll be a long time gone

Hello high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
Stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
Trees goin' by, lookin' like a fly
On the big legs are my Levi's

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone

Hello high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
Trees goin' by, lookin' like a fly
On the big legs are my Levi's

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone


6.T for Texas

Lyricist：1827-1933, Jimmie Rodgers

Yeah, T for Texas, T for Tennessee
I said, 'T for Texas, T for Tennessee'
T for that no good woman, no good gal
That made a wreck out of me, Lord
Take it man

I'd rather drink myself muddy water
Sleep all night in a hollow log
I'd rather drink a muddy water
Sleep all day and night in a hollow log
Than to hang around and now be put down
And treated like a dirty dog, listen

If you don't want me woman
Just say so 'That's all'
If you don't want me woman
All you gotta do is come around and say so 'That's all'
'Cause I can get myself more women
Than another two men or a passenger train can haul, hit it

T for Texas, T for Tennessee
I said 'T for Texas another T for Tennessee'
T for Thelma, no good gal
That made a wreck of me, Lord
Come hear me yodel


7.Away In A Manger

Lyricist：Traditional

Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there


8.The Dukes Of Hazzard

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

Straightnin' the curves
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
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

Oh yeah


9.Gone to Denver

Lyricist：John R Cash, Penni Lane

I've thought I'd take a trip to Denver and spend a little time
I thought maybe out in Denver I might get you off my mind
No want no want go with me, just want to be alone
I might find someone in Denver that can help me carry on

Gone to Denver, gone to Denver, gone to mend a broken heart
Now I was goin' and if I'm goin' I'd better be gone, gone to
Denver

Well, I've known a quiet wild, now I've been losing you
And I'd rather might stay here and find out who I lost into
Maybe I won't even miss you like I always thought I would
I've heard Denver's quite a city and it changed my do me good

Gone to Denver, gone to Denver, gone to mend a broken heart
Now I was goin' and if I'm goin' I'd better be gone, gone to
Denver
Gone to Denver


10.Reno And Me

Lyricist：John Hadley, K Welch

Reno and me hit the freeway south out of town on a run
Reno was driving he asked me to roll him one
I turned on the radio found us some sweet Emmylou
I sang the harmony low down and out of key
Reno just howled at the moon

Somewhere outside Kansas City on the highway that leads to
Cheyenne
The radio quit on a song by a Mexican band
Well, I guess we were lost in thoughts of brown skin girls
Took a couple wrong turns in a row
Reno and me we just laughed
We agreed it don't matter which way you go

It don't matter which way you go
When you're callin' the highway your home
When every old town's just your past burning down
It don't matter which way you go

All of our old friends got married do all their business in town
Climbing a ladder that leads to a hole in the ground
Reno and me we talked it all out
And one thing that we'll never know
What's the point of a race where you stay in one place
Believing there's somewhere to go

It don't matter which way you go
When you're callin' the highway your home
When every old town's just your past burning down
It don't matter which way you go

It don't matter which way you go
When you're callin' the highway your home
When every old town's just your past burning down
It don't matter which way you go


11.The Days Of Sand And Shovels

Lyricist：Doyle Marsh, Bud Reneau

When I noticed her the first time
I was outside running barefoot in the rain
She lived in the house next door
And her nose was pressed against the window pane

When she looked at me
She smiled and showed a place, where two teeth used to be
And I heard her, ask her mom
If she could come outside and play with me

We became as one and
Had a love without beginning or an end
And every day she lived with me
Was like a new day dawning once again

And I've loved her since
Every doll was Shirley Temple
Soda pop was still a nickel
Jam was on her fingertips
Milk was circled on her lips

After many years our love grew silent
And at night I heard her cry
When she left me in the fall
I knew, that it would be our last goodbye

I was man enough to give her everything
She needed for a while
But in searching for a perfect love
I found that I could not give her a child

And I've loved her since
Every doll was Shirley Temple
Soda pop was still a nickel
Jam was on her fingertips
Milk was circled on her lips


12.The Teddy Bear Song

Lyricist：Earl Don, Nick Nixon

Well, I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for

I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
No living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
With a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
Then I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
No living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
What you wanna hear from me to make you stay
I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
And no one would know what a mess I made of my life

I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
No living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I was, a Teddy Bear
No living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was, a Teddy Bear


13.If I Can Find A Clean Shirt

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Troy Seals

Come on now, Willie, don't look at me that way
I know you like a paperback book 'cause I've read every page
I know what you're thinkin' and I don't think you're thinkin' at
all
This is old hoss, that's you're talkin' to the one with the
perfect recall

No, I ain't going down on the border with you tonight
Drinking tequila, taking chances on our lives
All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might

Wait a minute, Waylon, I ain't said a thing about that
Sometimes I just like to wear my spurs and my old Mexican hat
But we sure had fun the last time that we were down there
And we woke up, you had that weird tattoo
And somebody had curled my hair

No, I ain't going down on the border with you tonight
Drinking tequila, taking chances on our lives
All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might

All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might


14.The Good Ol' Nights

Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Waylon Jennings, Troy H Seals

People sit around and they talk and talk
How their dreams all ended too soon
Guess they never hung out under the stars
Howling at the moon

I guess we're as different as nine and eight
I see it in a different light
I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

Talk about the good times
Talk about the times when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights

They wanna go back to when a Cadillac
Didn't look like a Chevrolet
It meant a lot to them but not a thing to me
I never owned one anyway

But a good looking woman and an old guitar
With both of them tuned just right
Well, I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

Talk about the good times
Talk about the times when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights
You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights


15.Change My Mind

Lyricist：Curly Putman

If I should get a look of leavin' in my eyes
Put your arms 'round me, woman, and change my mind
If I ever seem too restless or dissatisfied
Put your arms 'round me, woman, and change my mind

Don't let me separate your love from mine
Don't let me leave you, I might get the urge some time
If I do, you'll know what to do to keep me by your side
Put your arms 'round me, baby, and change my mind

If the gay life of the barrooms beckons me at night
Put your arms 'round me, baby, and change my mind
And if a new love ever tempts me that I should search to find
Put your arms 'round me, woman, and change my mind
Put your arms 'round me, woman, and change my mind


16.I Just Can't Wait

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

When I was one, 'til I was three
My Mom and Dad, took care of me
Now, I'm four, and the world's alive

And I just can't wait until I'm five
I just can't wait until I'm five

When I am six, there is a rule
Kids like me, all start to school
Somewhere, between seven and eight

I'll start to grow and I just can't wait
I'll start to grow and I just can't wait

Nine is weird as it can be
My brother's nine, and he picks on me
But I just can't wait until I'm ten

I'll be completely grown by then
I'll be completely grown by then


17.The Blues Don't Care

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Gary Nicholson

I come from the country
There are places I ain't welcomed
And I had to loot and cry

I slipped in the back door
Still I never got my share
But the blues don't care

My best friend had to tell me
What I could never see
What that woman did the best
Was run around on me

I had to learn the hard way
That all in love ain't fair
But the blues don't care

The blues don't care
Now the blues don't care
You can curse and complain
Till it drives you insane
But the blues don't care

I tried to reach for higher ground
Never dream that I could fall
I believed that I could fly
High above it all

Talk about hitting bottom
Brother I have been there
And the blues don't care

I laughed and talked with Jesus
Told it all to Him
I am afraid I told Him too much
For Him to let me in

Chances are He'll lose my number
When the roll is called up there
But the blues don't care
But the blues don't care
No, the blues don't care

You can curse and complain
You can say it just ain't fair
But the blues don't care
The blues don't care


18.Somewhere Between Ragged And Right

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah

We're all polyester poets and pickers of a kind
With far too many questions for the answers in our minds
Stranded in the middle but all is black and white
Somewhere between ragged and right

Somewhere between ragged and right
Like a bus load of taxi drivers learnin' how to fly
We're on automatic pilot driftin' through our lives
Somewhere between ragged and right

We're a gang of drug store cowboys
With silver spurs and leather vests
Hillbilly Casanovas, fastest guitars in the West

We're trackin' down a system, spoilin' for a fight
Somewhere between ragged and right

Somewhere between ragged and right
Like a bus load of taxi drivers learning how to fly
We're on automatic pilot, driftin' through our lives
Somewhere between ragged and right

Somewhere between ragged and right


19.Looking For Suzanne

Lyricist：Paul Hardy Kennerly

In my darkest hour, woke up to a storm
I turned to hold my baby but she was gone
I looked all around me, calling her name
No letter, no word of goodbye, walked out in the rain
Looking for Suzanne

Strangest of notions, chilled me to the bone
Something whispered in the wind, she ain't coming home
Looking for Suzanne, looking for Suzanne

Suzanne went away, as I think about it today
As hard as I try I can't understand
Looking for Suzanne

Each walking moment, each sleepless night
I search for the one that I love
The rest of my life looking for Suzanne

Looking for Suzanne
Looking for Suzanne
Looking for Suzanne
...


20.Pickin' White Gold

Lyricist：Jr., Fred F Carter

Down in the place where I call home
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold

All day long in Louisiana sun
Pickin' and a pullin' white cotton by the tons
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold

I fill my sack and I put it on my shoulder
And then I take one again
Old man cotton won't let me make a nickel
Till I get it to a cotton gin

So I bent my back till I think it's gonna break
Try to keep a thinkin' how much I'm gonna make
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold

There's a little girl, I call Bellie all day
She works alongside of me
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold

Her lips are soft as a cotton in a hand
And side by side we're makin' our plans
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold

There's a little house with a little solid ground
That would make a mighty pretty home
All we need is little money down
And we could call it our home

I can't rest till I get through
I need the money for what it can do
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold
Pickin' white gold, pickin' white gold


21.Willie And Laura Mae Jones

Lyricist：Tony Joe White

Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbours a long time back
They lived down the road from us in a shack just like our shack
We worked the fields together, learned to count on each other
When you live off the land you ain't got time to think of
another man's color

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
That was another place and another time

Sit out on the front porch every evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and Laura would sing and them younguns'd dance
around
I'd bring out my guitar and we'd play on through the night
Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say, 'Boy, you play
all right'

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
That was another place and another time

The years rolled past our land and took back what they'd given
We all knew we'd had to move if we were gonna make a livin'
So we all moved off and went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
That was another place and another time

The years rolled past our doors and we heard of them no more
When I saw Willie downtown the other day
Said, 'Y'all stop right by now we could all sit down and eat by
Sure love to see your children and Laura Mae'

Shook his head real slow and his eyes were kind
This is another place and another time

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
That was another place and another time


22.I Got You

Lyricist：Gordon Galbraith, Ricci Mareno

Don't get no attention from the people on street
They don't even see us, they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it, yes, that's all we'll ever be

But I got you and you got me
And if they look they can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need

Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
People all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us, just like we're not even there

But I got you and you got me
And if they look they can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need

I got you and you got me
And if they look they can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need

I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need


23.Smokey On Your Front Door

Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Waylon Jennings, Troy Harold Seals

You got a smokey on your front door, a smokey on your back door
too
Lord, a mercy buddy, I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
I can hear you talkin', I can hear you singin' the blues
You got a smokey on your front door, a smokey on your back door
too

You got a woman on the east coast, one on the coast out west
One wants a baby, one wants a brand new dress
No way around it, you gotta spend some money, I guess
With a woman on the east coast, one on the coast out west

Diesel is up, the freight is down
And I believe they're jerkin' you boys around
Somebody oughta tell 'em if they don't know
Little wheels turnin' makes a big wheel roll

You got a smokey on your front door a smokey, on your back door
too
Lord, a mercy buddy, I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
I can hear you talkin', I can hear you singin' the blues
You got a smokey on your front door, a smokey on your back door
too

I can hear you talkin', I can hear you singin' the blues
You got a smokey on your front door, a smokey on your back door
too
Smokey on your front door, a smokey on your back door too


24.Delia's Gone

Lyricist：Tommy Jennings, Waylon Jennings

Delia, oh Delia, where have you been so long？
If buddy's talkin' 'bout Delia they say she's done me wrong
They took my Delia to the graveyard, took her in a long black
hearse
If I hadn't shot my poor Delia I believe she'd have got me first
Delia's gone

Went down to the graveyard to look at my Delia's face
I said, â½Delia girl how I love you and I wish I could take
your placeâ
Jailer, oh jailer, tell me how can I sleep
When all around my bedside I hear little Delia's feet？
Delia's gone

Some gave Delia a dollar, some gave her two or three
But I didn't give Delia a penny 'cause she belonged to me
Delia's gone, Delia's gone


25.Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)

Lyricist：Kris Kristofferson

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the
skies
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she
flies
Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay
dying
Healin' as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her
eyes

Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin
Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've
been
Teachin' me that yesterday was something that I never thought of
trying
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend

Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known
before, in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in
my mind
But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end

Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again


26.I'm a 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

Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

Left a girl in West Virginia
Up there where that green grass grows, yes I did
Got a girl in Cincinnati
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, poor girl

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 fool around with any ol' ramblin' man

Well, up in Chicago
I was known as 'Quiet Boy', yes I was
Down in Alabama
They call me 'The man of joy', they still do

Lord, 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 fool around with any ol' ramblin' man


27.Theme from the Dukes of Hazzard

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Staightenin' the curves
Flatenin' 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

And not my face on TV


28.Brand New Goodbye Song

Lyricist：Lincoln Wayne Moman, Reggie Grimes Young

Baby, go down to the drugstore, buy me a guitar string
And be sure to wear your coat, girl, 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey, you know that rain is bad for my guitar strings

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song

Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb, the further I fell
Guess it must have blew my mind sniffing the fumes of Hell

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song

Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong, you'll be somewhere right

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song


29.Women Do Know How to Carry On

Lyricist：Bobby Emmons, Waylon Jennings

Women do know how to carry on
Well, there won't be too much cryin' time alone
They'll be right back puttin' red and make up on
Women do know how to carry on

When she can't keep love afloat she will survive
In her soft and sexy way she's gonna shuck and jive
She'll wipe the tears and find the things that she needs to get
along
Women do know how to carry on
Women do know how to carry on, yeah

Never knew a man who could take a fall
They'll land right on their pride and then they waste it all
But even when the best she's ever had is gone
Women do know how to carry on

Women do know how to carry on
There won't be too much cryin' time alone
They'll be right back puttin' me and make up on
Women do know how to carry on
Women do know how to carry on

They'll be right back puttin' red and makeup on

There won't be too much cryin' time alone
Women do know how to carry on


30.Midnight Rider

Lyricist：Gregg L. Allman, Robert Kim Payne

I gotta run to keep from hidin'
I'm bound to keep on a ridin'
I got one more silver dollar

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch a midnight rider

Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin'
This old road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch a midnight rider

I've gone by the point of carin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
I got one more silver dollar

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch a midnight rider

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch a midnight rider


31.Stop The World

Lyricist：Carl Belew, W.s. Stevenson

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love
And lost so stop the world and let me off

My dreams're shattered
Don't you see now you no longer care for me
I miss the wonder of your kiss
How could you leave me here like this

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love
And lost so stop the world and let me off

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love
And lost so stop the world and let me off


32.Shine

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

My friends never understood
My rough and rowdy ways
They think I'm the only fool
My daddy ever raised

But I'm gonna shine, shine
Shine, shine, see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar
You're gonna see me shine

Here's to the ones who do believe
And disbelieve somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars, Lord
If they could see me now

See me shine, shine, shine
Shine, see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar
That's gonna make me shine

I don't need fancy ladies
Wasting up my time
Give me tender loving care
And the one that's mine

Make me shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, make me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar
You're gonna see me shine

I like living easy
I like being free
Living free and easy brings
Out the best in me

Makes me shine, shine shine
Shine, shine, make me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar
You're gonna see me shine


33.Her Man

Lyricist：Kent M Robbins

I'm gonna change my ways of doing things around here
I'm turning over a new leaf gonna get myself in gear
â~Cause I've got a woman who's better than most
And I've made a mess of her plans
So startin' today all I'm gonna be is her man

I've been a wild catter and a go go getter
Been an SOB right down to the letter
I've had misadventures I even got pictures
Of even more than I can stand
So startin' today all I wanna be is her man

I'm gonna give it all back cause all I've done is take
I've put her on the back burner while I was out on the make
But I've got a woman who's good enough to give me
A second chance again
So starting today all I'm gonna be is her man

Been an SOB right down to the letter
I've had misadventures I even got pictures
Of even more than I can stand
So startin' today all I wanna be is her man

I'm a little bit late but I'm wise enough
I'm taking her by the hand
Startin' today all I wanna be is her man


34.Let Me Talk To You

Lyricist：Don Stewart Davis, Danny Dill

Just one more dance, just one more chance so I can talk to you
We've both have paid, don't be afraid, just let me try to prove
I would do anything you want me to

Just one more dance, just one more chance, let me talk to you
Don't go too far with that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win, let's fall in love again

Give me your heart and let me start to build our life anew
Just one more dance, just one more chance, let me talk to you
Just one more dance, just one more chance, let me talk to you


35.Rave On

Lyricist：Norman Petty, Bill Tilghman, Sonny West

Well, the little things that you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
N' I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin'
Your love for me

Rave on, rave on n' tell me
Tell me I could be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me

Well, the way you dance n' hold me tight
The way you kiss n' say goodnight
I rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
N' I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin'
Your love for me

Rave on, rave on n' tell me
Tell me I could be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me

Rave on to me
Rave on to me
Rave on to me
Rave on to me


36.I Can't Keep My Hands Off Of You

Lyricist：Bobby Borchers, Mack Vickery

You know I can't stand to be around you
'Cause you know I'm still in love with you
And my arms keep reaching to do
What my thoughts do all the time
I just can't keep my hands off of you

'Cause it's like looking at heaven while I'm standing in hell
We shared something precious for a while
You look just like a baby in a cradle to me
And I just can't keep my hands off of you

Woman, you've got the man inside my body trembling
The way only you know how to
And I guess that's just one of a million reasons
I just can't keep my hands off of you

'Cause it's like looking at heaven while I'm standing in hell
We shared something precious for a while
You look just like a baby in a cradle to me
And I just can't keep my hands off of you


37.Mary Ann Regrets

Lyricist：H Howard

I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I received a short little note
And I'd broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their
plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann

The weeks have gone by, not a word have I heard since then
I read in the papers of far away places she's been
I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their
plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann

My Mary had died too sad, she just wasted away
If I could have seen her, I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone

Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their
plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann

Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
...


38.People Up In Texas

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

To the people up in Texas
It's the nearest thing to Heaven here on earth
The lifestyle up in Texas
Is just go on out and live for all it's worth

Where the men are all men
And the ladies there are born with ways to please
And the people up in Texas
Think that the rest of all the world is over seas

You don't need no one to tell you
When you cross that Texas line
The air starts smellin' sweeter
And the water tastes like wine

The sun is always shining
So it's seldom ever cold
People just grow up there
Never old

You don't need no one to tell you
When you cross that Texas line
The air starts smellin' sweeter
And the water tastes like wine

The sun is always shining
So it's seldom ever cold
People just grow up there
Never old

The people up in Texas
It's the nearest thing to Heaven here on earth
The lifestyle up in Texas
Is just go on out and live for all it's worth

Where the men are all men
And the ladies there are born with ways to please
And the people up in Texas
Think that the rest of all the world is over seas

Yeah, the people up in Texas
Think that the rest of all the world is over seas


39.If She'll Leave Her Mama

Lyricist：Billy Morris, Willard Mack Vickery

She left the cradle when she learned to crawl
With mama on the front porch she walked off
Headed for the city in a pair of high heeled shoes
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you

Don't take it so hard and blame yourself
'Cause you ain't the first one that she ever left
She loves her mama but she loves a good time too
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you

Oh, you can give her love and you give her hell
No matter what you give her, she wants somethin' else
You know she's gonna do exactly what she wants to
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you


40.It's All Over Me

Lyricist：Jessi Colter

When I was loving you I gave all I had to give
You took the love I gave and took my will to live
Didn't want me then, baby, what you wantin' now
Hear you talkin' but just keep walkin', it's all over now

Wish you could see girl, this is just how it could be
If you kept walking way you did all over me
You might been kinder, I can see it all somehow
I hear you talkin' but just keep walkin', it's all over now

How does it feel, girl, to be on the other side？
Drop down to your knees, sneak out of your pride
You should remember how you kept me there so long
Hear you talkin' but just keep walkin', it's all over now

Maybe the next one will be what you're looking for
Maybe you can give him all he needs and more
Give him all what I needed, I don't need it now
Hear you talkin' but just keep walkin', it's all over now


41.River Boy

Lyricist：Fred F. Carter, R.

I was born and raised on the river
It's the only life that I know
People 'round here have put a name on me
And I hear it wherever I go

They call me river boy, river boy
Good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy

I do a lot of fishin' on the river
To make my livin', you see
When I take my catch to the market place
The people call out to me

And they say, 'River boy, hey, river boy
You got any fish today there, river boy？'
I sell my ware but nobody cares
About the feelin's of the river boy

There's a pretty girl, works at the market place
I see her there everyday
But when I try to talk to her
I can hear her papa say

'Come away from that river boy, he's a river boy
Nothin' but riff-raff, them river boys
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
On a good for nothin' river boy'

So I head my boat back up the river
Back to my old fishin' place
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow
From the tears a-fallin' down my face

I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy

River boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy


42.I'd Be A Legend In My Time

Lyricist：Don Gibson

If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd be a legend, a living legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend, a living legend in my time

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim, everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend, a living in my time

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim, everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend, a living in my time


43.Dirt

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Dirt is quiet, it don't make noise
It's fun to play with, especially for boys
Girls don't much like it, but that's okay
Boys don't like girls much anyway

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

It hurts just a little if it gets in your eyes
You can put it in water and make mud pies
Babies will eat it, but babies are dumb
They wet their diapers and suck on their thumbs

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

It don't cost a thing 'cause it's everywhere
You can take it back home and nobody cares
You can throw it and kick and it don't even hurt
So a kid's best friend just got to be dirt

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

I love good ol' dirt


44.Cowboy Movies

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

My dad talks a lot about cowboys
Like John Wayne and people I don't even know
I like the cartoons on Saturday morning
'Cause I'm only four years old

But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He even bought me a big cowboy hat
And when I put it on with my boots and my Levi's
I can tell that he really likes that

Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee

I love to watch Nickelodeon
You might say I grew up on Sesame Street
My favorites are Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch
And I think the muppets are neat

But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He's never heard of Ernie and Bert
I'm just not a cowboy, I guess I'm a nowboy
And I sure hope his feeling's aren't hurt

Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee
Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee


45.Long Gone

Lyricist：J Hubbard, Jerry Reed

Oh well, it's long gone, long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be a hangin' around
I know you're gonna put her down

She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day
To find you're long gone, long gone
You just wandered into town

Took her and you started messin' around with my baby
You stole her heart 'cause she ain't used to your kind
With your fancy clothes and your uptown style
It didn't take you but a little while to get your way

'Cause your pretty little lies she couldn't see behind
And now it's long gone, long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be a hangin' around

I know you're gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day
To find you're long gone, long gone

Well, a man in me would like to fight
To take you down by the river tonight
And rearrange your face
But that would make her hate the sight of me

So there's nothing left for me to do
Standin', watchin' that, the likes of me
Hurt the girl I love while she's too much
In love with you to see

Oh well, it's long gone, long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be a hangin' around

I know you're gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day
To find you're long gone, long gone


46.Lock, Stock And Teardrops

Lyricist：Roger Miller

Someday I won't come running when you call
The way you hurt me it's a wonder I'm still here at all
Someday you'll wake up and you'll find yourself alone
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone

I can't go on the way you make me live
Make me cry and every time expect me to forgive
Someday you'll wake up to a cold and lifted dawn
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone

Someday I'll wake up find me strength and move along
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone


47.Long Way Back Home

Lyricist：Gordon Lightfoot

From the railhead to the boatyard
From the factory to the farm
From the mine to the mill yard
I've weathered with storms

From the barroom to the bedpost
I've wasted my days
And all I have is my drink
And the time left to think but the times slips away

Just look at my face
When you tell me goodbye
You can see what I'm after
By the look in my eye

Just walk away and leave me alone
'Cause it's a long way back home
Long way back home

Just look at my face
When you tell me goodbye
You can see what I'm after
By the look in my eye

Just walk away and leave me alone
'Cause it's a long way back home
Long way back home


48.All Around Cowboy

Lyricist：Lendel Pollard, Jack Routh

Just a broken down cowboy, all down on his luck
Been through the best of his friends
On a long lonesome highway in an old pick-up truck
Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind

He was all around cowboy back in '49
From the top, it's been long way down
Since the whiskey and the women, started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground

He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner
In the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winning
That didn't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things'll get better
If the devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be, be the all around cowboy again

So, he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeo
He's the all around cowboy again

He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner
In the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winning
That didn't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things'll get better
If the devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be, be the all around cowboy again


49.I Walk the Line

Lyricist：John R Cash

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself by myself when each day is through
I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine I walk the line

I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, let me, I walk in the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time


50.Freedom to Stay

Lyricist：Bill Hoover

I tied my bandana, took my pack from the floor
You were still sleeping as I stood at the door
Once more I was headin' to, God only knows where
That's when it hit me, I was already there

I could ramble a thousand miles or more
Never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go my own way
But you gave me much more, you gave me the freedom to stay

Why keep on runnin' just to wish on a star
Searching for Heaven when I know where you are
Life is just empty when you're walking alone
So wherever we're going girl, Lord, it's good to be at home

I could ramble a thousand miles or more
Never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go my own way
But you gave me much more you gave me the freedom to stay


51.Wild Side of Life

Lyricist：Arlie A Carter, William Warren

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So, I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin'
A song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife

It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels
As you say in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're single
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong

It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
Too many times married men think they're single
And go back to the wild side of life
They go back to the wild side of life


52.High Time (You Quit Your Lowdown Ways)

Lyricist：Billy Ray Reynolds

Well, I'm sick and tired of wakin' up, sick and tired
As of today there's gonna be some changes made

Well, you might as well keep your feet on the ground
'Cause I won't stand still for you're movin' around
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah

Anything to the talk I hear over town
Is it really true, girl that you go on the deck up and down

Now the word as well as I can recall
Everywhere you've been, you've been the belle of the ball
Well, it's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah

I remember one time now, way back down on the farm
My daddy had a Dominican hen but she wouldn't stay home

Well, now she could fly higher than a jet airplane
But not after daddy clipped her little ol' wings
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah


53.Just The Good Ol' Boys

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Just the good ol' boys
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Straightening the curves
Flattening the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will

Making their way
Any way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow

I'm a good ol' boy
You know my mama loved me
But she don't understand
They keep a showin' my hands
And not my face on

TV, verse from the movie
Just the good ol' boys
Wouldn't change if they could
Fightin' the system like a true
Modern day Robin Hood


54.All Of My Sisters Are Girls

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

All of my sisters are girls
With long hair, ponytails, pigtails and curls
A kid needs a friend so why in the world
Did all of my sisters just have to be girls？

They giggle and whisper a lot
They act like they're grown up but I know they're not
They can climb a tree and they can't catch a ball
They're really no fun at all

All of my sisters are girls
With long hair, ponytails, pigtails and curls
A kid needs a friend so why in the world
Did all of my sisters just have to be girls？

When I'm bored with nothing to do
I can have fun whenever I want to
I just hide in the closet so they won't know I'm there
And they're really easy to scare

All of my sisters are girls
With long hair, ponytails, pigtails and curls
A kid needs a friend so why in the world
Did all of my sisters just have to be girls？

All of my sisters are girls
With long hair, ponytails, pigtails and curls
A kid needs a friend so why in the world
Did all of my sisters just have to be girls？


55.Rings Of Gold

Lyricist：Gene Thomas

I remember when you said
'With this ring I thee wed'
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns these rings of gold to rust

Love before was clean and pure
Never more can I be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

Plans we made just yesterday
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
Rings of gold have turned to rust


56.I Got The Train Sittin' Waitin'

Lyricist：Billy Ray Reynolds

I took my woman down to the local depot
From there to anywhere if you want to you can go
I said â½Now pretty mama I've had myself enough
Of your fussing and your fighting and it's sure gonna get
roughâ

I got the train sittin', waitin', leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind

I've tried to love you woman every way I know how
But you keep on a-nagging and I've had it startin' now
If you don't like the way you're living you know what you can do
Said the train's sitting there, it's a big black choo-choo

I got the train sittin' waitin', leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind

Well I looked up on the schedule and it said nine-thirteen
The central is a-leaving, all the lights are turnin' green
The whistle is a-blowin', here's your ticket and your pass
The door is open wide, so don't let your coat tail drag

I got the train sittin' waitin', leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind


57.MacArthur Park

Lyricist：Jimmy Webb

Spring was never waiting for us girl
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron like a stripped pair of pants

MacArturh Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green rising flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
The old man playing checkers by the trees

MacArturh Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green rising flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no

There will be another song for me for and I will sing it
There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it
I will taste the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking in the sun
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will let my passions flow like rivers from the sky
But after all the loves of my life, after all the loves of my
life
I'll still be along wondering why

MacArturh Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green rising flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I'll never had that recipe again, oh no, no
Oh no


58.I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself

Lyricist：Buddy Knox

So long to you
Hope I don't make you blue
I think I'm gonna kill myself
I think I'm gonna kill myself

Apart we've grown
Now I can't go on alone
I think I'm gonna kill myself
I think I'm gonna kill myself

Now dig my grave with a silver spade
A gold chain lay me down and down
Send my remains to my best friend
The rest to my hole in the ground
Send the rest to my hole in the ground

I bow my head, 'cause in the mornin'
I'm a gonna be dead
I think I'm gonna kill myself
I think I'm gonna kill myself

Now dig my grave with a silver spade
A gold chain lay me down
Send my remains to my best friend
The rest to my hole in the ground
Rest to my hole in the ground


59.The House of the Rising Sun

Lyricist：Alan (arr) Price

There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy and me
Oh God, I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sowed these old blue jeans
My father was a gambler, Lord
Down in New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's ever satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Go tell my baby sister
Not to do the the things I've done
Outshine that house down in New Orleans
That they call the Rising Sun

There is a house down in New Orleans
That they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy and me
Oh God, I'm one


60.Where Corn Don't Grow

Lyricist：Roger Murrah, Mark Springer

As we sat on the front porch
Of that ole gray house where I was born and raised
And stared out at the dusty fields
Where daddy's always worked hard every day

I think it kinda hurt him, when I said
â~'Daddy there's a lot that I don't know''
But don't you ever dream
About a life where corn don't grow

He just sat there silent
Staring in his favorite coffee cup
I saw a storm of mixed emotion
In his eyes when he looked up

He said, â~'Son I know at your age it feels
Like this old world is turning slow
And you think you'll find the answer
To it all where corn don't grow''

But hard times are real
There's dusty fields no matter where you go
You may change your mind
â~Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow

I remember feeling guilty
When daddy turned and walked back in the house
I was only seventeen back then
But it seems like I knew more than I do now

I can't say he didn't tell me
This city life's a hard row to hoe
It's funny how a dream can turn around
Where corn don't grow

But hard times are real
There's dusty fields no matter where you go
You may change your mind
â~Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow

You may change your mind
â~Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow


61.Endangered Species

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Tony Joe White

I made it through my rock and roll years
With a spent dream and a few dollar bills
I don't know what I learned, I don't know what I know
And if I don't now I never will

I ain't seen it all but it's plain to see
I just might be an endangered species

Like an old gray fox I know how he feels
With the new hats snapping at my heels
And I ain't sure what it's all about
I ain't in but don't count me out

They all like to dance but if you want to dance with me
You might be dancing with an endangered species

I wasted some time with some women I found
At no time ever settlin' down
With one over here and one over there
And that's where nobody cares

But a man in love is what I want to be
I guess that makes me an endangered species
A man in love is what I want to be
I guess that makes me an endangered species


62.My God And I

Lyricist：John Buck Wilkin

I've been around a long time, more than I can say
Search for the truth, still looking today
Rode aboard a warship, went down in 42
But my God and I, we got through

Wasted in a dungeon, martyred in my time
But my God and I, we're doing fine
Here I stand in His eyes, the boy the child the man
Eyes to the sky, I understand, I understand

There's trouble in California, little earthquakes overdue
But my God and I, we'll get through and so can you


63.Lonely Weekends

Lyricist：G Corbin, Waylon Jennings, F Miller

Well, I make it alright
From Monday morning till Friday night
Oh, those lonely weekends

Since you left me
I'm as lonely as I can be
Oh, those lonely weekends

Said you'd be true to me
You said our love's never gonna die
Said you'd be true to me
But baby, you didn't even try

I'll make it alright
From Monday morning till Friday night
Oh, those lonely weekends

You said you'd be true to me
You said our love's never gonna die
Said you'd be true to me
But baby, you didn't even try

I'll make it alright
From Monday morning till Friday night
Oh, those lonely weekends

Oh, those lonely weekends
Oh, those lonely weekends


64.Love's Gonna Live Here Again

Lyricist：Alvis E Jr Owens

Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they were once before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bells a-ringin', I hear birds a-singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bee's a-hummin' and I know the days' a-comin'
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here again


65.It Doesn't Matter Anymore - Previously Unreleased

Lyricist：Paul Anka

There you go and, baby, here am I
Oh well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Why can't you see just what you doing to me？
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember, baby, last September
How you held me tight each and every night？
Don't you know now, baby, you drove me crazy？
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me just sittin' here and crying
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
Thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you

You go your way, I'll go mine
Now and forever 'til the end of time
I'll find somebody new and, baby, we'll say we're through
Maybe someday you won't matter any more

There's no use in me just sittin' here and crying
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
Thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you

You go your way, I'll go mine
Now and forever 'til the end of time
I'll find somebody new and, baby, we'll say we're through
Maybe someday you won't matter any more

There you go and, baby, here am I
Oh well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Why can't you see just what you doing to me？
Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore

You go your way, I'll go mine
Now and forever 'til the end of time
I'll find somebody new and, baby, we'll say we're through
You won't matter any more


66.I've Got My Faults

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I'm just a man
No more or no less
Bad as the worst
Good as the best

If you like what you see
It's a pretty good bet
What you see
Is just what you'll get

And I've got my faults that I can't deny
Nobody knows that better than I do
Some not so good traits from my wilder days
I've got my faults but I do have my ways

I do have my ways
That show off the best side of me
When you least expect it
You don't know how good I can be

And I've got my faults that I can't deny
Nobody knows that better than I do
Some not so good traits from my wilder days
I've got my faults but I do have my ways


67.Cryin'

Lyricist：Joe Melson, Roy Orbison

I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight

When you stopped to say hello
And though you wished me well
You couldn't tell that I'd been

Crying over you, crying over you
Then you said so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying

It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before

But darling, what can I do
Oh, you don't love me
And I'll always be

Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

I'm crying, crying
Oh oh oh, over you


68.Sally Was A Good Old Gal

Lyricist：Harlan Howard

Sally used to carry my books to school
Sally was a good old girl
Helped me with my homework 'cause I was a fool
'Cause Sally was a good old girl

If you wanted just a kiss or a little bitty squeeze
She was always willing to do her best to please
Yeah, girls were made to love and not made to tease
Sally was a good old girl

Yeah, Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Oh well, Sally's folks were poor but she helped all she could
Sally was a good old girl
Hardest working girl in the neighborhood
Sally was a good old girl

Well, she walked up and down the street all day
Selling neck ties to the one's who'd pay
If they couldn't afford it then she'd give them away
'Cause Sally was a good old girl

Yeah, Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Well, Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Well, Sally was a favorite with all of the men
'Cause Sally was a good old girl
All of the ladies despised her then
'Cause Sally was a good old girl

Well, the women talked about her but Sally didn't care
She kept on a working and a doing her share
She wound up married to a millionaire
Sally was a good old girl

Yeah, Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl

Well, Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave it her best
Sally was a good old girl


69.Good Ol' Boys (Theme from 'The Dukes of Hazzard')

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Just the good old boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Staightenin the curves
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get them
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 old boy
You know my momma loves me
But she don't understand
They keep a showin' my hands and not my face on TV


70.Let's Turn Back the Years

Lyricist：Hank Sr Williams

Darling, let's turn back the years
And go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped
And I didn't go away

We had our love to make us happy
It wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die
So darling, let's turn back the years

We had our love to make us happy
It wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die
So darling, let's turn back the years

Darling, let's turn back the years
And go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped
And I didn't go away

Darling, let's turn back the years
And go back to yesterday


71.You Can Have Her

Lyricist：Bill Cook

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay

The girl I love, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night for just one hour
When daylight comes, she's gone again

You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay

Well you're stuck with the wrong woman
There ain't much that you can do
Just dig a hole and crawl right in it
Then pull the ground right in over you

Yeah, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay

Life without love is mighty empty
But confession is good for your soul
I'd rather have love for just one hour
Than have the world and all of its gold

You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay

Yeah, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
Only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay, to stay


72.I Recall a Gypsy Woman

Lyricist：Bob Mcdill, Allen Reynolds

Silver coins that jingle jangle
Fancy shoes that dance in time
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes
They did sing a gypsy rhyme

Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
In a meadow silky green
Where she held me to her bosom
Just a boy of seventeen

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life's sweet wine

Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows
Stir the darkness in my mind
Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me
And little know who haunts my mind

Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
And it dances in my head
While my tender wife and babies
Slumber softly in their bed

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life's sweet wine


73.The Door Is Always Open

Lyricist：Dickey Lee, Bob Mcdill

Saw your picture in the paper
And I see you've married good
And I know that he can give you
All the things I never could

But I know that he can't give you
What you need most of all
So the door is always open
And the light's on in the hall

Yes, the door is always open
And the light's on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting
If you ever come to call

When night falls on that mansion
And you're lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention
Will you think of me instead？

When he reaches out to touch you
Is your face turned to the wall？
Well the door is always open
And the light's on in the hall

Yes, the door is always open
And the light's on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting
If you ever come to call

Yes, the door is always open
And the light's on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting


74.A Long Time Ago

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Shel Silverstein

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
I'll admit I've taken things I never should've took
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
But even then you won't really know
How it was a long time ago

Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men
In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
I was born with a fire down below
And I learned to fly a long time ago

Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain
About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane
Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane
I think you already know
I told you that a long time ago

Me and ol' Willie, lordy we've been sold and bought
I guess you'll heard about some kind of system that we fought
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
I quit running a long time ago


75.Yours Love

Lyricist：Harlan Howard

May the fruit of my toil be yours, love
May the fruit from my soil be yours, love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours, love

May the sons that I raise be yours, love
May the comforts I apraise be yours, love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours, love

May the Lord's shining grace be yours, love
May the happiest face be yours, love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours, love


76.Honky Tonk Heroes (Like Me)

Lyricist：Billy Joe Shaver

Low down leaving sun, I've done
Did everything that needs done
Woe is me,why can't I see
I'd best be leaving well enough alone

Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
Keep a-haunting me in memories
Well there's one in every crowd, for crying out loud
Why was it always turning out to be me？

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, a-hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down int Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

Piano rolled blues, I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers and no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down in Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

Piano rolled blues, I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For them lovable losers and no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me, yeah


77.Me and Bobby McGee

Lyricist：Fred L Foster, Kristoffer Kristofferson

Busted flat in Baton Rouge and headed for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin'
hands
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling it was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the cold

Somewhere near Salinas, Lord, Bobby slipped away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
Holding her body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling it was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee


78.You Ask Me To

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver

Long ago and far away
In my ol' common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to

Like unto no other
Feel simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to

Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
Lord, I hope you'll never do

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to


79.Good Ol' Boys

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you've never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Straightenin' the curve
Flate'nin' 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

Just the good ol' boys
Wouldn't change if they could
Fightin' the system like a
Two modern day Robin Hood


80.How Much Rain Can One Man Stand

Lyricist：Dallas Frazier

Like a raging flood that ruins a poor man's land
You keep doing things to hurt me all you can
But the thickness that we knew is growing thin
How much rain can one man stand？

How much rain can one man stand？
I gave you everything but my right hand
If you won't let me love you then don't let me be your friend
How much rain can one man stand？

I can see them big old storm clouds movin' in
There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again
And you've told him that I'm just an old time friend
How much rain can one man stand？

How much rain can one man stand？
I gave you everything but my right hand
If you won't let me love you then don't let me be your friend
How much rain can one man stand？
How much rain can one man stand？


81.Carnival Song

Lyricist：Jeffery Allen Black

I've been quite the traveler ever since I hit the road
And the Sullen county carnival has been my earn in gold
I've been quite alone since I remember when
I turned my ultimatums into chips and cashed them in

I used to run the Ferris wheel but that'd be hard to prove
I can't stand to see a rolling wheel propped up so it can't move
I used to run the carousel hell that's just round and round
Never liked to see them ponies painted up and bolted down

The only thing that keeps me from staying here is leaving
The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone
Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in
I had to pack it up and move along
And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one

I was a straight man at the ring toss but that was just a jaunt
I can't see throwing rings around things you don't really want
I could run the roller coaster but that might break my heart
So much hard travelin' just to wind up where you start

Now I just work the gateway and I'm pretty satisfied
Little booth is red and blue and I just sit inside
I just take your money and give tickets out in trade
Think about my life and all the promises I made

The only thing that keeps me from staying here is leaving
Who's running from the things they've left undone


82.Guitars That Won't Stay In Tune

Lyricist：Troy Harold Seals, Eddie F. Setser

Well, I grew up lean and hungry
I worked hard for my money
Said, 'I'm gonna live my life the way, I please'
Spent some time on the road of life
Saw an angel once and the devil twice
I came across some things, that I don't need

Like a cold hearted women, whiskey in my water
And only one way out of a motel room
Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions
And old guitars that just won't stay in tune

You know there's good and bad breaks
You learn from your mistakes
It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts
A hillbilly boy is hard to convince
Wild and stubborn and not much sense
But I've got enough to know what I don't want

Like a cold hearted women whiskey in my water
And only one way out of a motel room
Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions
And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
And old guitars that just won't stay in tune


83.Too Far Gone

Lyricist：Billy Sherrill

I can tell that somewhere there's someone
You loved more than me
Someone you loved more than me
And it hurts to say it but you have the right to be free


I know that's the way it should be
But I'm too far gone, too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
I'm too far gone

If ever your new love should hurt you
Or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

'Cause I'm too far gone


84.One Of My Bad Habits

Lyricist：Harlan Howard

I gotta quit this smokin'
It's because of my chokin'
I gotta quit this drinkin'
It's been messin' up my thinkin'

Baby, you're included in my plan
You're one of my bad habits
I'm gonna quit you if I can

I gotta quit this cryin'
'Cause you won't quit your lyin'
You dig another guy
And I'm sick and tired of tryin'

I'm gonna have to face it like man
You're one of my bad habits
I'm gonna quit you if I can

I've gotta quit this hopin'
You'll change and stop this mockin'
All that you been sayin'
Was just the game you're playin'

Woman, don't be reachin' out your hand
You're one of my bad habits
I'm gonna quit you if I can

I've gotta quit this hopin'
You'll change and stop this mockin'
All that you been sayin'
Was just the game you're playin'

Woman, don't be reachin' out your hand
You're one of my bad habits
I'm gonna quit you if I can

You're one of my bad habits
I'm gonna quit you if I can


85.Music Man： He Went To Paris

Lyricist：Jimmy Buffett

He went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own

Warm summer breezes
French wine and cheeses put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away

He went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a good life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim

All of the answers and all of the questions
He locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away

War took his baby
Bombs killed his lady and left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry

While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'
Answers that he never found
So he hopped in a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin'
And drinks his Green label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say

After eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and say
'There was some of it's magic, probably tragic
But I had a good life all the way'

He went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so


86.Out Among The Stars

Lyricist：Adam Mitchell

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
Closin' time, another day is done
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
He can't find a job, Lord he's found a gun

He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
They let the ol' man run out in the street
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazin'
And already he can feel that great relief

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars？
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars？

He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars？
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars？

Evening news it carries all the details
He dies in every living room in town
In his own a bottle's thrown in anger
And his father cries, 'We'll never live this down'

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars？
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
And fly like eagles out among the stars？
Fly like eagles out among the stars


87.Burnin' Memories

Lyricist：Mel Tillis, Wayne P. Walker

Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And that when the smoke is gone I won't want you

Burnin' memories
Teardrops fall while I am
Burnin' memories
Burning all the memories of you that I can't lose

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live alone with memories
Into the fire those dreams that you've shattered
And when the smoke is gone then I'll be free

Burnin' memories
Teardrops fall while I am
Burnin' memories
Burning all the memories of you that I can't lose


88.Sweet Dreams

Lyricist：Don Gibson

Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you？

You don't love me it's plain
I should have known I'd never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you？
Instead of having sweet dreams about you


89.Nothing Catches Jesus By Surprise

Lyricist：Tom Douglas, Waylon Jennings

The way you caught my eye in Paris, Tennessee
Selling seduction, well I'm seduced
You sell a war then we sell a truth
It's the truth

So baby, just close your eyes
Nothing catches Jesus by surprise

Confusin' love for heated passion
Got what I want but no satisfaction
Ain't it funny how things can change？
We're amazed how they stay the same
Oh, it's the same

So baby, just close your eyes
Nothing catches Jesus by surprise

You look so pretty when you smile
I haven't seen that for a while

Talk about trouble, we've had our share
It's a wonder we're still here
I don't know why I make you cry
It's a part of me I don't like at all, oh

So baby, just close your eyes
Nothing catches Jesus by surprise

Baby, just close your eyes
Nothing catches Jesus by surprise


90.Me and Paul

Lyricist：Willie Nelson

Lord, it's been rough and rocky travelin'
But I'm finally standing upright on the ground
After taking several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound

I thought Nashville was the roughest
But I guess I've said the same about them all
Upon hell of an education in the cities
Of this nation me and Tom Paul

I got busted in Laredo for reasons
That I'd rather not disclose
If you're stayin' in a motel there and leave there
Don't leave nothin' in your clothes

At the airport in Milwaukee
They refused to let us board the plane at all
They said we looked suspicious
But I think they like to pick on me and Paul

On a package show in Buffalo with us
And Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride
The show was long and I just hung around
And I'd come there to pick not for the ride

We drunk a lot of whiskey
So I ain't sure we went on that night at all
Well, I don't think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Tom Paul


91.Let's All Help the Cowboys (Sing the Blues)

Lyricist：Jack Clement

Cowboys, they are ladies men, all right
They'll love 'em up an' talk 'em up all night
But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

He does a little Shakespeare an' he sings
He plays the mandolin an' other things
He looks for love, beauty an' IQ
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt an' all that bit
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
So ladies, if they ask, you don't refuse
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues

Cowboys, they don't ever understand
This thing between a woman an' a man
Until they find the one they always lose
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand
Tries to make somebody understand
But she has ears to hear a different tune
And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt an' all that bit
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
So ladies, if they ask, you don't refuse
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues


92.Lucille (You Won't Do Your Daddy's Will)

Lyricist：Albert Collins, Richard Penniman

Lucille, you won't do your daddy's will
Oh Lucille, just just won't do your daddy's will
Well, it ain't nothin' to you but I love you still

Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please don't leave me alone

Well, I woke up this morning
Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her
But all their lips were tight

Lucille, won't do your daddy's will
Well, it ain't nothin' to you, I love you still

Well, I woke up this morning
Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her
But all their lips were tight

Oh Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby, please don't leave me alone

Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
I can't come around, baby
But you gave me such a wonderful start

Lucille
Baby, satisfy my heart


93.I've Always Been Crazy

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I've always been crazy in the trouble that it's put me through
Been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone

I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Beautiful lady, are you sure that you understand？
The chances you're taking, loving a free living man
Are you really sure you really want what you see？
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane


94.Wrong

Lyricist：Andre Pessis, Steve Seskin

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 too 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 too bright
Can't be anything but right
Wrong

Wrong, everything was going strong
The sky was always blue
Thought my dreams had all come true
Wrong, wrong


95.Luckenbach Texas

Lyricist：B Emmons, C Moman

The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is 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 William's pain songs
And Newberry's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach Texas
There 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
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 William's pain songs
And Newberry's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach Texas
There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're livin's got us feuding
Like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank William's pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach Texas
There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

97.It Should Be Easier Now

Lyricist：Willie Nelson

Now that I've made up my mind
You're gone it should be easier now
Perhaps now my heart will stop hanging on
It should be easier now

The lesson I've learned from you
Gold can't buy a heart can be broken and still survive
Thanks to you now a much wiser man am I
And it should be easier now

The worst now is over
I've stood the test it should be easier now
They say everything happens
For the best it should be easier now

The wounds in my heart you've carved deep and wide
Hollowed and washed by the tears I've cried
But now there'll be more room for love inside
And it should be easier now


98.It's The World's GOne Crazy (Cotillion)

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Shel Silverstein

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
'Cos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home

The Johnny Comelateleys are comin' in early
The early birds showin' up late
The straightmen all wanna be funny
The funny men all wanna get straight

The villains have turned into heroes
The heroes have turned into heels
The dealers all wanna be lovers
And the lovers all wanna make deals

The leaders are fallin' behind
So I'm singin' my songs to the deaf men
Dancing my dance to the blind

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
'Cos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home

It's the world's gone crazy
And ladies are dancin' and the sidemen
And the frontmen, we'chome

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
'Cos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
'Cos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
'Cos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home

99.The Hunger

Lyricist：E Fry

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child

Like a butterfly in springtime
Searching every field for loving's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers
Still could not release her from the hold

In the back streets and the bedrooms
All she's found is disappointments, bitterly
While the love that she's too often found
Was not enough to satisfy her needs

She's older than the years she holds
And aging fast with each day passing by
On a downhill run to nowhere
'Cause the hunger never can be satisfied

The reflection in her mirror's not the image
She remembers in her mind
Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger
And the acid winds of time

She has danced the tune her demons played
And payed the piper dearly for his song
Empty now of all her pride but still inside
Her hunger's just as strong

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child

Like a butterfly in springtime
Searching every field for loving's sweetest rose


100.I've Got Eyes For You

Lyricist：Brian Hyland, Del Shannon

When I look at you I think many strange things
And it's hard to express all of my feelings
I belong to a girl you hang around with
But I must admit I've got eyes for you

I had to call and tell you just how I felt
You should know by now, that
When you're near my heart melts

I belong to a girl you hang around with
But I must admit I've got eyes for you
Eyes for you, eyes for you
Yes, I must admit I've got eyes for you

In my sleep I call your name
No one to blame, I can't explain
And every time I see you it's the same thing
And I try to escape from looking your way

I belong to a girl you hang around with
But I must admit I've got eyes for you
Must admit I've got eyes for you
I must admit I've got eyes for you
