Waylon Jennings Unreleased Songs3

1.Hangin' On

Lyricist：Ira Allen, Buddy Mize

It's true you have me twisted round your finger
And it seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me, to thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

For now, tomorrow and forever
I guess, I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growing 'cause your love keeps a showing
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

A love that's strong as mine
Will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming silly dreams

You've got me where you want me
You keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on


2.I Fall In Love So Easily

Lyricist：Grady Martin, Bill Swan

You don't know what's good for you
You won't leave me alone
I know you've got a family
Sleepin' at home

Don't make me go out of my way
Don't tempt me please
Don't you be so nice to me
I fall in love so easily

I'm all alone and need someone
I guess that it shows
But the things you make me want to do
I'll regret I know

So don't say things that you don't mean
'Cause I just might believe
Don't you be so nice to me
I fall in love so easily

I'm gonna leave tonight with you
Go on and have your fun
I don't want to be a part
Of what I might have done

I'm tempted when I think about
The things that might have been
And I'll admit I'd like to try
But I know I couldn't win

And so instead I'll say, goodbye
I know it's time to leave
'Cause you been so nice to me
And I fall in love so easily

'Cause you been so nice to me
I fall in love so easily
'Cause you been so nice to me


3.Looking At A Heart That Needs A Home

Lyricist：Harlan Howard

I'm just a stranger in this town
I'm just a drifter looking 'round
I might stay a lifetime or a week
It all depends if I'll find what I seek

You're looking at a heart that needs a home
And a little girl to love me and me alone
One who wants a gentleman and accepts me like I am
You're looking at a heart that needs a home

I thought I had found her many times
But love reserves the right to change it's mind
I guess perhaps my ways are strange
But without this cast I can't change

You're looking at a heart that needs a home
And a little girl to love me and me alone
One who wants a gentleman and accepts me like I am
You're looking at a heart that needs a home

You're looking at a heart that needs a home
And a little girl to love me and me alone
One who wants a gentleman and accepts me like I am
You're looking at a heart that needs a home


4.Hank Williams Syndrome

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Ramblin' about, down through the south
I find things are a changing a lot
Especially me, it's easy to see
Montgomery's still hot and I'm not

I stopped by today at Hank William's grave
My hero from the days of my youth
Was that him or me that I used to be
In the times when I searched for the truth

Hank, you were my inspiration
And I was obsessed with your ways
But to tell you the truth
It's no thanks to you that I'm still living today

Hank, I still love your music
And in spite of the things I've just said
You'll always be a hero to me
But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead

The new hats are here and it's increasingly clear
Our day is slipping on by
They're not like me and you but that's alright too
They could keep the music alive

Hank, you were my inspiration
And I was obsessed with your ways
But to tell you the truth
It's no thanks to you that I'm still living today

Hank, I still love your music
And in spite of the things I've just said
You'll always be a hero to me
But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead


5.If You See Her

Lyricist：Mickey Newbury

If you see her and she mentions my name
Tell her the times have but I have not changed
All my friends know that I still feel the same
If you see her and she mentions my name

If you see her, ask her for me
If the dreamer in her ever set her free
Does she know now what the words I say mean？
If you see her won't you ask her for me？

Everything I told her then was true
Everything was true at the time
But time has a way of changing everything
Truth has a way of changing all the time

If you see her and she mentions my name
Tell her for me that she was not to blame
There's no reason now for her to feel ashamed
If you see her and she mentions my name

Everything I told her then was true
Everything was true at the time
But time has a way of changing everything
Truth has a way of changing all the time

If you see her and she mentions my name
Tell her the times have but I have not changed
All my friends know that I still feel the same


6.Suddenly Single

Lyricist：Max Barnes, Troy Seals

This place is too damn lonesome
I think I'll change and go out for a while
On second thoughts where could I go
With a closet full of clothes that's out of style

It's another night of TV
Or another night of nothing on my hands
I gotta change my way of living
'Cause I'm still thinking like a married man

Suddenly single
It's hard to break old habits good or bad
If I wasn't over thirty
I'd might just move back in with mom and dad

I should call on some old flame
Oh, that ain't as easy as it sounds
My body says I need someone
But my heart ain't ready for someone right now

Maybe in the morning
I'll wake up and see the light
Small consolation, Lord
For the way I feel tonight

Suddenly single
It's hard to break old habits good or bad
If I wasn't over thirty
I'd might just move back in with mom and dad

Suddenly single
Someone's always right and someone's wrong
Anyway you look at it
I'm suddenly alone


7.Bob Wills Is Still the King (Live)

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
I grew up on music that we called Western Swing
It don't matter who's in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king

Lord I can still remember the way things were back then
In spite of all the hard times, I'd live it all again
To hear the Texas Playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the
king

You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee
It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
But when you cross that ol' Red River hoss that just don't mean
a thing
'Cause once you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king

Well if you ain't never been there, then I guess you ain't been
told
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
It's the home of Willie Nelson, the home of Western Swing
He'll be the first to tell you Bob Wills is still the king


8.Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)

Lyricist：B Emmons, C Moman

The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquee 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
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feudin'
Like the Hatfield 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 Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're livin's got us feudin'
Like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' 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


9.Rainy Day Women

Lyricist：Bob Dylan

Oh, rainy day woman
I 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
'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 you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman

Always the same never complain
Though times gotta be tough
It's not right for you, what can I do
I can never think of givin' you up

Oh, rainy day woman
I 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 never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman


10.That Dog Won't Hunt

Lyricist：R Murrah, J Schweers

Well, you think that you can lie, tell me alibis
And it's alright
Keep the grapevine line working overtime
On your late nights

You think that you can say some words and take away the hurt
And I'll still be your number one
But when it ain't working out we got a saying down South
'Baby that dog won't hunt'

Baby that dog won't hunt
You can hang up your guns
Break my heart, want a new start
Baby that dog won't hunt

Well, it's been open season on your double dealing
And it's so wrong
I guess that I've been a fool playing by the rules
For too long

Well, I've been sitting here at home with the porch light on
You've been chasing everything that runs
Well, let me put this in your ear, make it be so clear
Baby that dog won't hunt

Baby that dog won't hunt
You can hang up your guns
Break my heart, and then you want a new start
Baby that dog won't hunt

Baby that dog won't hunt
So you can hang up your guns
Break my heart, then you want a new start
Baby that dog won't hunt


11.Sorrow (Breaks A Good Man Down)

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Jimmy Rule

Disappointments weigh so heavy
Leave it's wreckage all around
Once a good man, once respected
Sorrow breaks a good man down

Had a good love, had a good life
Now the sadness all around
Dread the darkness, hate the daylight
Sorrow breaks a good man down

I remember all the good times
When the world was ours to claim
Then she left me, took the sunshine
Every night wind speaks her name

Can't stop loving, can't stop living
There's no answer to be found
No ambition, just existing
Sorrow breaks a good man down

I remember all the good times
When the world was ours to claim
Then she left me, took the sunshine
Every night wind speaks her name

Can't stop loving, can't stop living
There's no answer to be found
No ambition, just existing
Sorrow breaks a good man down

Sorrow breaks a good man down


12.There Ain't No Good Chain Gang

Lyricist：H Bynum, D Kirby

Bet it ain't raining back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Yeah, momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here momma
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a-laying in jail

Well, papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well,
too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang


13.Gentle On My Mind

Lyricist：John Hartford

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

And it's knowing I'm not shacked
By forgotten words and boons
And the ink stains
That have dried upon some line

That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and I'd be planted
On their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walkin'

It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin' or
forgivin'
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory

And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us

And some other woman 's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy, might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see you
Walking on the back roads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dipped my cup of soap back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caltron in some train yard
My beard a roughen coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face

Through cupped hands round a tin
Can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever you're just gentle on my mind


14.Hittin' The Bottle Again

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Well, I don't know who or where I am
I don't know who do give a damn
It's a hell of a mess that I've got me in
Hittin' the bottle again

I can't walk so I can't go home
No need to talk 'cause I'm alone
If I stay here they're gonna lock me in
Hittin' the bottle again

Hittin' the bottle again
Ever than I've drunker been
Or is it drunker than I've ever been？
Hittin' the bottle again

Well, I tried to quit for a wife of mine
I tried to quit but I changed my mind
Every once in awhile and a now and a then
Hittin' the bottle again

Hittin' the bottle again
Ever than I've drunker been
Or is it drunker than I've ever been？
Hittin' the bottle again


15.You'll Look For Me

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me

Look all around you if you have the time
Look at me once more if you can
You once said you loved me, now you've changed your mind
But you'll change your mind again

There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me

There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl, you'll look for me


16.Settin' Me Up

Lyricist：Mark Knopfler

Well, you say I'm the greatest, bound for glory
But the word is out and I learned
I got the latest side of the story
You're pullin' out before you get burned

Your hands are squeezin' me down to the bone
I've never seen you breakin' before
Stands to reason, I'm a leaving you alone
What are you taking me for？

Settin' me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Settin' me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around

You think I care about your reaction
You think I don't understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man

Settin' me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Settin' me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around

Settin' me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Settin' me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around


17.Kissing You Goodbye

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I've learned to turn the other cheek
Is not what love's about
I've turned mine so many times
That I damned near wore 'em out

I've grown used to your abuse
And I thought I'd never quit
But I woke up this morning
Couldn't find my shiv-a-git

You've always liked to play your games
Well, I got one for you
Pretend we're playing checkers, girl
And it's your time to move

You'll find your suitcase on the porch
And the taxi in the drive
So get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye

I see you've finally made it home
You been out all night
Your artificial hair's a mess
And your clothes don't fit you right

I've given and forgiven
Till there ain't nothing left
But all you gave was just enough
To satisfy yourself

I can smell that whiskey in your hair
And Sen-Sen on your breath
If you ever tried to tell the truth
You'd choke yourself to death

I don't want your nasty kisses
And don't tell me no more lies
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye

Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye


18.Nashville Women

Lyricist：Harlan Howard

If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
You know the Nashville women
Might as well stay home, yeah

If the blues was booze I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was booze you know I'd stay drunk all the time
Hangin' 'round bars and takin' you off of my mind

Going down the alley to see what I can find
Goin' down the Printer's Alley
Gonna look around and see what I can find
Let some Nashville woman
Take me home and blow my mind

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk


19.Suspicious Minds

Lyricist：Mark James

We're caught in the trap, I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm sayin'？

We can't go on together with suspicious minds
We can't build our dreams on suspicious minds

I saw an old friend I know, I stopped to say hello
But I could still see suspicion in your eyes
Here we go again, ask me where I've been
You can't see the tears are real, I'm cryin'

We can't go on together with suspicious minds
We can't build our dreams on suspicious minds

Let our love survive or dry the tears from your eyes
Don't let a good thing die
Don't you know I never lied to you
Oh no

We're caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see what you've been doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm sayin'？

Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby


20.Small Packages

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Tall, don't always mean bigger
Short, don't ever mean small
If you make up your mind you never can tell
You could be the biggest and the bestest of all

'Cause some things come in small packages
Sometimes heroes do too
If you have the courage and you have the heart
That hero just might be you

Loud, don't always mean stronger
Shy, don't ever mean weak
The less you can say sometimes can mean more
If you choose to use the right words to speak

'Cause some things come in small packages
Sometimes heroes do too
If you have the courage and you have the heart
That hero just might be you

Some things come in small packages
Sometimes heroes do too
If you have the courage and you have the heart
That hero just might be you


21.When I Get Big

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

When you're 4 or 5 years old
It's really hard to make up your mind
What you want to be when you grow up
After all you do have a lot of choices

I might drive a truck, I might drive a train
I might sail a boat or fly an airplane
Might take a rocket ship to the moon
I'm growin' pretty fast so it might be soon

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

Someday I'll leave mom and dad all alone
Make a lot of money then come back home
I'll buy everybody everything they like
I'll even buy myself a brand new bike

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

I might be president and stop all the wars
And make people happy wherever they are
Protect all the animals, the dolphins and the whales
If people try to hurt 'em, I'll put 'em in jail

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big
When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big


22.The Wurlitzer Prize

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 oughtta give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver I let slide down the slot
Playin' those songs sung blue
That help me remember you
I don't wanna get over you

A fresh roll o' quarters, same old song
Missin' you through and through
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

They oughtta 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
'Cause I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you


23.Them Old Love Songs

Lyricist：Donnie Fritts, Troy Seals

Down the dusty Dixie road
My old Levi's draggin' tracks
Nobody cares about where I'm going
For all they know I'm coming back

I wish I had me a true fine woman
And let her rock me all night long
Baby we could get it together
Like people do in them old love songs

I can hear somebody laughin'
Funny how it makes me sad
Lord I wish it was Sunday morning
Saturday night sure looking bad

I wish I had me a true fine woman
And let her rock me all night long
Baby we could get it together
Like people do in them old love songs

I wish I had me a true fine woman
And let her rock me all night long
Baby we could get it together
Like people do in them old love songs

Yeah baby, we could get it together
Like people do in them old love songs


24.So Good Woman

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Just so good woman lord you're just too good for me
The way I am is the way I'll always be
You know I'll run around all of my life
You could've done better 'cause you been a good wife
You're so good woman lord you're just too good for me

You're so good lookin' lord you could've done better than me
You're so good lookin' no you could've done better than me
Look at them men lookin' at you
While you're lookin' at me and I'm happy you do
You're so good lookin' lord you could've done better than me,
yeah

Look at the man lookin' at you
But you're lookin' at me lord, I'm happy you do
You're so good lookin' lord you could've done better than me
And you're so good woman you're just too good for me


25.I'll Go Back to Her

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I'll go back to her where I'm wanted
Maybe I can make up for the wrong
In spite of all I've done she still wants me
So I'll go back to her where I belong

Walking out on her wasn't easy
But without a second thought I left her there
I gave my all, did it all to please you
But the more I seem to do the less you care

So I'll go back to her where I'm wanted
And maybe I can make up for the wrong
In spite of all I've done she still wants me
So I'll go back to her where I belong

I'll go back to her where I'm wanted
And maybe I can make up for the wrong
In spite of all I've done she still wants me
So I'll go back to her where I belong


26.The Last Letter

Lyricist：Rex Griffin

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend？
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold？
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy girl, when you are withered and old？

I can't offer you diamonds or mansions, so fine
And I can't offer you clothes your young body crave
But if you'd love me and say that you'll always be mine
Think of the heartaches the teardrops and sorrow, you'll save
honey

When you are weary and tired of another man's gold
If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own
But don't try to answer though I've suffered sorrow untold
If you don't love me, I wish you would leave me alone


27.Mississippi Woman

Lyricist：Hollis R De Laughter

The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue
Spattered by the paddle of my eager hand
That Mississippi woman is a wavin' over yonder
Wavin' her lantern to her Louisiana man

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart did not belong to me

The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue
Splattered by the paddle of my eager hand
The silence from behind me is alive with the splashing
alligators
And the lantern light is blinking on the bottom in the sand

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart did not belong to me


28.Precious Memories

Lyricist：W (arr) Jennings, K (arr) Mansfield, J B F Wright

As I wander on life's pathway
I know not what the future holds
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold


29.Billy

Lyricist：Tony Joe White

Billy we've come along way together
And through it all you've been just like a brother to me
And Billy we've had our share of ups and downs
Froze our tails sleeping on the ground
When the jobs were few and far between

We've been knocking around together so long
Singing them same old songs
Been out in the rain so long, I swear we're shrinking

Billy lately I have done some thinking
When I look back on our lives
We've sure had ourselves a time
But you know it's been a wild world we traveled
And it's startin' to unravel
We leave so many loose ends behind

We've been bucked off and kicked so many times
And the ground just keeps getting harder
Billy you know well as I, we ain't getting no younger

Billy another summer's come and gone
Now with winter coming on
I know we planned on heading south
But Billy I thought about it several days
And these words I'm about to say
They don't taste good in my mouth

But there's someone who's waiting back home
Lord, if she'll still have me
Guess I'll be saying so long, you go on without me

Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye
So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas
I said,'Hi'


30.Never Could Toe the Mark

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

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
Wants what's left to me

She's got her own space
I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line

She's got her own space
I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line


31.Bob Wills Is Still the King

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
I grew up on music that we called Western Swing
It don't matter who's in, Austin, Bob Wills is still the king

Lord I can still remember, the way things were back then
In spite of all the hard times, I'd live it all again
To hear the Texas Playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the
king

You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee
It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
But when you cross that ol' Red River hoss that just don't mean
a thing
'Cause' once you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king

Well if you ain't never been there then I guess you ain't been
told
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
It's the home of Willie Nelson, the home of Western Swing
He'll be the first to tell you, Bob Wills is still the king


32.Come On Home And 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


33.Working without a Net

Lyricist：D Cook, J Jarvis, G Nicholson

Well, the road can be a circus, a death defying act
But the clowns don't come around no more since the monkeys off
my back
Now, I stand here on the stage, as the house lights fade to
black
Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call
Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall
Now and then I stumble, but I haven't fallen yet
Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Well, I used to depend on some things I did not need
I leaned on some crutches that kept me off my feet
Standing here without them now, well, it scares me half to death
Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call
Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall
Now and then I stumble, but I haven't fallen yet
Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net

Up on the high wire, I hear the crowd begin to call
Some want you to fly, some want to see you fall
Now and then I stumble, but I haven't fallen yet
Your love helps me forget, I'm working without a net


34.It'll Be Her

Lyricist：Billy Ray Reynolds

If anyone ever finds a better way to love
It'll be her lovin' me
If anyone ever goes out of their way to show they care
It'll be her lovin' me

She's every woman, I've ever known rolled up in one
If I'm ever loved any more, she'll be the one
To get it done the way it should be
It'll be her lovin' me

If ever I'm down and out and need someone to love
It'll be her lovin' me
When everyone else is cold and I need someone warm to hold
It'll be her lovin' me

She's every woman, I've ever known rolled up in one
If I'm ever loved any more, she'll be the one
To get it done the way it should be
It'll be her lovin' me

She's every woman, I've ever known rolled up in one
If I'm ever loved any more, she'll be the one
To get it done the way it should be
It'll be her lovin' me


35.Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down

Lyricist：Merle Haggard

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feelin' any pain at closin' time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off of my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle that I could turn to
Lately I've been turnin' every day
But the booze don't take effect the way it used to
I keep a-hurtin' in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found, tonight


36.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
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
'Jimmy, 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


37.Folsom Prison Blues

Lyricist：John R Cash

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when

Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But I see a train a movin'
On down to San Antone

Bet there's rich folks eatin'
In some fancy dining car
Probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars

Well, I know, I had it comin'
I know, I can't be free
But them people keep on movin'
And that's what tortures me

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, 'Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns'

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and I cry

If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
Bet I'd move it on a
Little bit farther down the line

Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I long to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away


38.It's All Over Now

Lyricist：Bobby Womack, Shirley Womack

Well, my baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry she done me wrong
Come home each morning tellin' me them same old lies
But now the table has turned and it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Oh, yes, I used to love her
But it's all over now

Well, she started runnin' round with every man in town
Spending all my money, playin' a high class game
She would never change, no matter how I tried
But the table has turned and it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Oh, yes, I used to love her
But it's all over now

I used to wake up in the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I was worried she would ease my achin' head
Now she's here and there with every guy in town
Still tryin' to take me for that same old clown

Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Oh, yes, I used to love her
But it's all over now


39.Heartaches Older Than You

Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Waylon Jennings, Troy Seals

I've had a life time of memories like you
I couldn't get over, even if I wanted you
It's really not somethin', I don't wanna do
But I've got heartaches older than you

I've seen that kind of look in other eyes before
This time may be different, I'm not sure
Do you really understand, what your young heart desires？
If you're just playin' around, you're playin' with fire

I've had a life time of memories like you
I couldn't get over, even if I wanted you
It's really not somethin', I don't wanna do
But I've got heartaches older than you


40.Living Legend (part 2)

Lyricist：K Kristofferson

Well the latest news from Nashville
Ain't all good but it ain't bad
The worst I ever found there
Was the best I ever had

The new hats and the no hats
Are still coming on pretty strong
While me and Kris and John and Willie
Are stilling plodding right along

Clint Black's moved out to Hollywierd
He's in love and that's a fact
Done found himself a movie star
Gonna show him how to act

Garth Brooks keeps selling millions
No that sure ain't no joke
But I just can't help looking for
A pig down in the poke

Have you seen Tanya Tucker
Hangin' in there, hangin' tough
Her and Dolly Pardon
Still got much more than enough

But a few new country ladies
That I've seen go dancin' past
Should forget about Madonna
She ain't got no country class

Travis Tritt's got all the talent
Least it seems that way to me
He's a little brash and cocky
But he's got a right to be

Now Billy Ray keeps right on dancin'
Outta tune and outta time
He drives Bubbas up the wall
And girls out of their minds

Livin' legends are a dying breed
There ain't too many left
To tell the truth, I ain't been feelin'
Real hot lately my damn self

But I ain't old and I ain't bitter
I ain't mad at anyone
So don't go takin' seriously
What's poked at you in fun

But if you've ever been to Nashville
I think you might agree
We've seen a lot of changes
Things we never thought we'd see

A rock-n-roller with a banjo
Now that I might recall
But a country singer with a brief case
Beats all I ever saw


41.To Beat The Devil

Lyricist：Kristoffer Kristofferson

It was winter time in Nashville
Down on Music City Row
I was lookin' for a place to get
Myself out of the cold

To warm the frozen feelin'
That was eatin' at my soul
And keep the chilly winds off my guitar

My thirsty wanted whiskey
And my hunger needed beans
But I guess it'd been a month of payday
Since I heard that eagle scream

So with a stomach full of empty
And a pocket full of dreams
I left my pride and stepped inside a bar

Actually I guess you'd call it a tavern
Cigarette smoke to the ceilin'
Sawdust on the floor friendly shadows

I saw that there was just
An old man sittin' at the bar
In the mirror, I could see him
Checkin' me and my guitar

He said, â½Come up here, boy
Show us what you areâ
I said I'm dry, he bought me a beer
He nodded at my guitar

Said, â½It's a tough life, ain't it？â
I just looked at him
And he said, â½You ain't
Makin' any money are youâ

I said, â½You been readin' my mail
He just smiled and said, â½Let me see that guitar
I got somethin' you oughta hearâ
Then he laid it on me

If you waste your time a talkin'
To the people who don't listen
To the things that you are sayin'
Who do you thinks gonna hear？

And if you should die explainin'
How the thing they complain about
Or the things they could be changin'
Who do you thinks gonna care？

There were lots of other singers
In the world turned deaf and blind
Who were crucified for what they tried to show

Now their voices have been scattered
By the swirlin' winds of time
And the truth remains that no one wants to know

Well, the old man was a stranger
But I'd have heard his song before
Back when failure had me locked out
On the wrong side of the door

No one stood behind me
But my shadow on the floor
And lonesome was more than a state of mind

You see the Devil haunts a hungry man
And if you don't wanna join him
Well, he's gotta figure out someway to beat him

And I ain't sayin' I beat the Devil
But I drink his beer for nothin'
And then I stole his song

You can still hear me singin'
To the people who don't listen
To the things that I am sayin'
Prayin' someone's gonna hear

And I guess I'll die explainin'
How the things that they complain about
Are things they could be changin'
Hopin' someone's gonna care

I was born to be a singer
And I'm bound to die the same
But I've got to feed this hunger in my soul

If I never have a nickel
I won't even die in shame
â~Cause I don't believe
That no one wants to know


42.Born To Love You

Lyricist：Woody Starr

Born to love only you
Destined to die alone without you
Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you

Night after night wanting for you
Living a life built around you
Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you

Knowing my dreams can never come true
Yet knowing that I was born to love you


43.I've Got a Woman

Lyricist：Paul Kennerley

Got me a woman she's a pretty good woman in fact
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me 'Toots' and makes me wear a cowboy hat
I don't care 'cause she's a pretty good woman in fact

I like nothing better than to spin my magic home
She talks and turns all that turns me on
With a woman like that a man need never to roam

Some folks get themselves together
Some folks stay in Tennessee
Well I don't care where I'm going
Just as long as that woman stays with me

Nothing in the world make me treat woman mean
She changed my bed and she keeps my track too clean
Well I don't care 'cause she's the best little woman I've seen

Some folks get themselves together
Some folks stay in Tennessee
Well I don't care where I'm going
Just as long as that woman stays with me


44.Sing The Girls A Song, Bill

Lyricist：Freddie Hart, Harlan Howard

Sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song
Sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song

You stand there on the bandstand, the greatest of them all
Wear the crown up high, Bill, the king's about to fall
You've stolen your life's girl, Bill, for now you've stolen mine
Give it all you've got, Bill, you're running out of time

So sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song
Sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song

The clock is striking twelve, Bill, an hour yet to go
Roll those pretty eyes, Bill, and give the girls a show
Up there in your car, Bill, my girl waits for you
No one knows but me, Bill, I'll be waiting too

So sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song
Sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song

Sing the girls a song, Bill, sing the girls a song
You ain't got too long, Bill, sing the girls a song


45.Lay It Down

Lyricist：Gene Thomas

Travelin' down on different roads
Tryin' hard to leave the load
Take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down, brother
Lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down

Hide in me, confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me should lay it down

Speak to me, be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down, brother
Lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down

Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from myself made hell
Find a way to lay it down

Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurtin' 'cause I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down

Lay it down
Lay it down
Wish that I could lay it down


46.Sandy Sends Her Best

Lyricist：Billy Ray Reynolds

This letter that I'm writing would probably be
The hardest thing I'll ever do
But you see there's something you should know
I guess I should be the one to tell you

While you failthfuly waited for me
I met someone new and I fell
Though you may not wanna hear it
Sandy sends her best and she and I both wish you well

Sure you know as well as I
Memories have a way of hangin' in your mind
And there's a lot about you
I know I'll remember for a long, long time

But she's the girl that I love now
I guess more than I love my life itself
I pray you hold your no hurt feelings
Sandy sends her best and she and I both wish you well

Maybe someday you'll forgive me
Realize that some things happened for the best
If it's any consolation after all the others
Until her I loved you best

By the time you read this letter we'll be gone
I guess that's all there is to tell
But before I say, 'Goodbye'
Sandy sends her best and she and I both wish you well

I pray you hold your no hurt feelings
Sandy sends her best and she and I both wish you well


47.Cedartown, Georgia

Lyricist：C Cobble

I got a gal in Cedartown, Georgia
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter
But I married her and took her down to New Orleans
She got a little house in the South French Quarter

Got a job tookin' bales load them on steamboat
I give a seven days pay, next day I'm broke
When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin'
Every evenin' when the sun goes down
She starts a swarmin' on Orleans town

Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak
I caught her with the tall long dandy from Canebrake
She walked right by me and she looked right through me
I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do
Eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22

I watched as the room clerk gave them a room key
A standin' right outside I could read Room 23
Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia
Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving
'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathing


48.They Ain't Got 'Em All

Lyricist：John Scott Sherrill

There are still places where people like me can hang out
With nothing at all in this whole world to worry about
They ain't tore 'em all down yet and said, every man for himself
Or polished them up until nothing worth keeping is left

They ain't got 'em all
If you try here and there, you'll still find a few holes in the
wall
There an endangered species but I'm keeping track
I can tell you, they ain't got 'em all

There are still women who can walk up and change your whole
world
Who don't even know they're impossibly beautiful girls
Who for some crazy reason will hold you so close in the night
'Til nothing else matters and you finally start feeling all
right

They ain't got 'em all
They're still there and their wanting and wonderfully willing to
fall
There an endangered species but I'm keeping track
I can tell you, they ain't got 'em all

They ain't got 'em all
If you try here and there, you'll still find a few holes in the
wall
There an endangered species but I'm keeping track
I can tell you, they ain't got 'em all


49.Sweet Dream Woman

Lyricist：Al Gorgoni, Chip Taylor

She's the womb that you left
And she's the pride that you kept
She's the innocence
That you left back in your youth

She's the poems that you read
She's the mouth that you feed
And she's the holy and she's truth

Sweet dream woman of the night
Come and love me in the night
Sweet dream woman
Come and be a woman to me

She's the mother of youth
She is sweet baby blue
And she's a love that you once knew
But you couldn't hold

She is bad luck and good
And she's all that she should be
And I see the reasons all unfold

Sweet dream woman of the night
Come and hold me in the night
Sweet dream woman
Come and be a woman to me

Sweet dream woman of the night
Come and love me in the night
Sweet dream woman
Come and be a woman to me

Sweet dream woman
Come and be a woman to me
Sweet dream woman
Come and be a woman to me


50.I May Be Used (But Baby I Ain't Used Up)

Lyricist：Bob Mcdill

Well, my baby you're a looker and I know what you're looking for
You've been looking over, every man at the bar
Honey, I know, I've got a few years on you
But if you're shopping around let me tell you a thing or two

Well, I look a little rough and I got a few miles on me
My body needs work and my style ain't what it used to be
And honey, I'll admit there's places where I'm wearing thin
But I ain't broke down, I just couldn't hold it in

Well, I may be worn but baby, I ain't worn out
Let me take you for a ride and I'll show you what I'm talking
about
I guarantee, there's a lot of me left to love
Well, I may be used but baby, I ain't used up

I've been wrecked a few times and honey, it shows I guess
There's been once or twice that you could say that I was
repossessed
There's one little thing that I think ought to be understood
It ain't how you look, it's what you got under your hood

Well, I may be worn but baby, I ain't worn out
Let me take you for a ride and I'll show you what I'm talking
about
I guarantee, there's a lot of me left to love
Well, I may be used but baby, I ain't used up


51.The Shadow of Your Distant Friend

Lyricist：Steve Dean, Roger Murrah

Like a muddy river running wild and deep
You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me
Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
When you love the feeling, it begins to rust
Just when the sun is shining, clouds set in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will the fire in your mind never end？
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

You know I really love you, but your heart's confused
By that aching fever that keeps haunting you
Just when I think it's over, it starts again
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will the fire in your mind never end？
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend


52.Workin' Cheap

Lyricist：Max D Barnes, Troy Seals

Every since the day, I was big enough to put my pants on by
myself
You could find me somewhere with the radio turned on
Then one night I gave my heart to an old beat-up guitar
It never left my arms till I was almost grown

I had to try my hand as a workin' man tried to be my daddy's son
But my mind was packed and gone and headed south
Momma said, â~'I'll pray for you'', then she said,
â~'Goodbye''
To the only one out of seven that didn't work out

Now, I'm way down hear in Dixie playing honky tonk music
Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week
Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall woman happy
When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap

Well, I ain't done a thing I can brag about to anyone back home
Just another night club singer with a real good band
If a jealous woman don't kill me and momma keeps on prayin'
Someday I might be more than what I am

Now, I'm way down hear in Dixie playing honky tonk music
Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week
Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall woman happy
When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap
When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap


53.Get Naked With Me

Lyricist：Bobby Emmons

I bring it up
You're quick to cover it all up again
Thought we were friends
What are friends for？

The old bones in your closet
Must really embarrass you
And so to save face
It's a locked place

I don't see why you don't get naked with me
Get all the little secrets out in the open air
â~Cause we won't ever be all that we could be
As long as you won't get naked with me

The future's gettin' shaky
From all this holdin' back
There's something in your past
That seems to haunt you

For better or for worse, I said
I meant it through and through
No one has ever loved you
More than I do

I don't see why you don't get naked with me
Get all the little secrets out in the open air
â~Cause we won't ever be all that we could be
As long as you won't get naked with me


54.We Made It As Lovers (We Just Couldn't Make It As Friends)

Lyricist：Bobby Emmons, Chips Moman

Boy, this week sure had a lot of Mondays
I ain't never seen it quite so hard
Getting over a Sunday before
I guess there's a simple solution
Good times sometimes just end

We made it as lovers
That's as close as we've ever been
We made it as lovers
We just couldn't make it as friends

The hardest part of broken romances
Is having to learn all those brand new dances


55.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


56.Music Man： Sweet Music Man

Lyricist：Kenny Rogers

She said, â½Sing your song, sweet music manâ
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand
Like I used to, I'm through with you

You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
Even had me singin' along right with you
You said, â½I need youâ

Then you changed the words and added harmony
Sang the song you had written for me
To someone new

Nobody sings love songs quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel the things are right
When I know they're wrong
Nobody sings love songs quite like you

She said, â½Sing your song, sweet music manâ
Travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you ask me to

And you try to stay young but the songs are sung
To so many people who've all begun
To come back on you

Sing your song sad music man
You're makin' your living doing one night stands
They're through with you, they don't need you

You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man
But you'll keep on lookin' for one last fan
To sing to

Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel the things are right
When they're wrong with a song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

She said, â½Sing your song, sweet music manâ
I believe in you


57.Right For The Time

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Almost out of adolescence
And into a world we didn't know
Not necessarily love, but in trouble
With a fire down below

Looking back for a feeling
It's just something far away and long ago
I can still recall the name
But she's really someone I don't even know

But she was right for the time
She was right for the time
But time has a way of moving on

I do recall a gypsy lady
And a younger man in over his head
I was her believer, taken in
By every loving word she said

It was there for the first time
The sweet and the bitter taste of love
When you're young and alive
Too much never seems to be enough

It seems the young and the innocent
Are drawn like a moth to a flame
To the wild and the reckless
Believing they are one in the same

She never found a way
To separate the good from the bad
And she never understood
That love was all we ever really had

She was right for the time
But time has a way of moving on
With her eyes on tomorrow
One day she turned around and I was gone

I'd have to say in a way
She just might be better off alone
She was right for the time
But time has a way of moving on


58.The Most Sensible Thing

Lyricist：Bobby Emmons, Waylon Jennings, Troy Seals

I've taken chances on everything in my life
Even against all the odds, I've rolled the dice
Count me in on any deal that comes around
Right or wrong, never slowed me down

I've always loved you silent but strong
Deep down in your heart you've always known
It's just that I've made more mistakes than any man under the
sun
You're the only sensible thing I've ever done

Never complaining back when the times were bad
Even when your faith in me was all we had
Loving me was it worth the price you paid？
Darling, I've been wrong this is all I can say

I've always loved you silent but strong
Deep down in your heart you've always known
It's just that I've made more mistakes than any man under the
sun
You're the only sensible thing I've ever done

You're the only sensible thing I've ever done


59.He Went To Paris - CD Only

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
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
'Jimmy, 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


60.As The 'Billy World Turns

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

You get a pen and I'll get a paper
We're gonna write ourselves a song
We'll drive the poetics crazy
Don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme

I got a friend and I think he's goofy
I guess he thinks the same about me
Guess it really takes one to know one
And you look like an old friend of mine

Out all night and acting crazy
I've been up for two whole days
Turn me over and roll me over
Wind me up for one more rhyme

Well, he called me friend and he called me brother
I called him back, he was gone
Took my songs and he took my money
But the jokes on him, he's the friend of a fool
Of a fool of a fool

You get a pen and I'll get a paper
We're gonna steal ourselves a song
We'll drive the poetics crazy
The damn thing's just might rhyme


61.Girl I Can Tell (You're Trying To Work It Out)

Lyricist：Fred Carter, Waylon Jennings

Girl, I can tell you're trying to work it out
Tryin' to get a handle on what life is all about
Between womanhood and nursery rhymes
Tryin' to find the truth in lover's lies
Girl, I can tell you're trying to work it out

Girl, I can see you're wantin' to give it a try
Taking on the good and the bad, the truth and the lies
Feelings inside you, you can't talk about
Feelings have a way of not comin' out
Girl, I can see you're trying to work it out

Between womanhood and nursery rhymes
Looking for the truth in lover's lies
And the ties that bind the things that last through time
Girl, I can tell you're trying to work it out


62.Another Man's Fool

Lyricist：John Ullrich

Don't sing them songs about the open road
I've lost too many rainbows chasin' pots of gold
I still remember what my baby said
It's still a knockin' 'round in back of my head

She said, 'I'm gonna lock the doors around about midnight
Put bars on the window like a zoo
You ain't the man that reaches up to turn out my light
You're just another man's fool, just another man's fool'

I left this mornin', had just one more chance
She caught me leavin' by the seat of my pants
She said, 'Go on, get out and have a good time
Don't bother comin' home if you can't bring me mine'

She said, 'I'm gonna lock the doors around about midnight
Put bars on the window like a zoo
You ain't the man that reaches up to turn out my light
You're just another man's fool, just another man's fool'

She said, 'I'm gonna lock the doors around about midnight
Put bars on the window like a zoo
You ain't the man that reaches up to turn out my light
You're just another man's fool, just another man's fool'


63.G.I. Joe

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Troy Harold Seals

Well, he smoked those Camel cigarettes about three packs a day
Nicotine stains on his fingers when he'd stretch them out to
play
That old midnight special is one he loved to do
Then he'd sing, 'I'm walking the floor over you'

TV preachers and welfare checks for him just had no place
But he'd take his time to tune real good when he sang 'Amazing
Grace'
He'd say, 'Boys I'm old and crazy but I still give a damn
And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam'

He'd drag out that old uniform and say, 'They used to call me
slim'
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on
him
He still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe

He only sang the old songs, he's standing still in time
My Phillipino baby, right there on his mind
Then he'd talk about the big one, the war we didn't lose
He'd pick a little bit like Travis, re-enlistment blues

He'd drag out that old uniform and say, 'They used to call me
Slim'
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on
him
Oh, he still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe
Here's to my old man and all the G.I. Joes


64.Memories Of You And I

Lyricist：L Clayton

I thought to leave your bed
For the street was as simple as saying goodbye
I couldn't see how blind a man can be
Lord, how quickly life can fly

As the lines in my face grow deeper
And the well of my soul runs dry
I find that I drink more and more
From the memories of you and I

The taste of fame is fire to me no more
The tension and hunger have gone
All I have left are money an' the game
I'm a prisoner too low, I'm on

As the lines in my face grow deeper
And the well of my soul runs dry
I find that I drink more and more
To the memories of you and I


65.Oklahoma Sunshine

Lyricist：Hal Bynum, Bud Reneau

New York woman tryin' to make me love her
A sad eyed girl with rollers in her hair
Down the hall somebody's cookin' cabbage
Kids are running up and down the stairs

I'd like to leave this God-forsaken city
But I can't go no matter how I try
But once again I'll be in Oklahoma
Tonight, when I lay down and close my eyes

I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world
Kissin' mom and shakin' hands with papa
Dryin' the tears of an Oklahoma girl

Standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
A dream that I have dreamed so many times
The blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me
When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind

When the cold wind blows in this big city
A part of me flies home to where it's warm
New York woman thinks that I'm still with her
Just because I'm sleeping in her arms

But I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world
Kissin' mom and shakin' hands with papa
Dryin' the tears of an Oklahoma girl

Standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
A dream that I have dreamed so many times
The blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me
When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind

Oh, I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world


66.The Makin's Of A Song

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

Before you pack your suitcase call your mama
Up to now she's taught you all you need to know
Just look at me as kinda like your daddy
Teaching you the old rules of the road

You won't be no superstar tomorrow
You've got to take the time to pay your dues
When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

Always send a big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the makin's of a song

Don't compromise your feelings when they matter
They'll come back to haunt you don't you know？
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the show

Always send a big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the makin's of a song

At least you've got the makin's of a song


67.Rocks From Rolling Stones

Lyricist：Tony Colton, John Edwin Shaver

There's a road runs clear to the sky
Calls to my spirit, calls to my heart
She's been a harbor, a port in a storm
She's got one more sundown and one more dawn

Fiddles don't make violins
Motel rooms don't make homes
You can't turn water into wine
You can't make a rock from a rolling stone

You'd be a liar if you said you'd changed
There's a river of freedom running through your veins
But she'll be there in your heart and your mind
Till the last song fades and the music dies

Fiddles don't make violins
Motel rooms don't make homes
You can't turn water into wine
You can't make a rock from a rolling stone

You can't make a rock from a rolling stone


68.Honky Tonk Women

Lyricist：Mick Jagger, Keith Richards

I met her, just a barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to make me upstairs for a ride
She had to carry me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl

I met her either say in New York City
I had to put up a one heck of a fight
The lady said she'd covered me with roses
She broke my nose and then she broke my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl


69.Dock Of The Bay, (Sittin' On The)

Lyricist：Steve Cropper, Otis Redding

I'm sittin' in the morning sun sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tides roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time

Left my home in Georgia I was headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna come my
way
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tides roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time

Looks like nothing's ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what them people tell me to do
So I guess that I'll just remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones and this loneliness won't leave me
alone
Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this dock my home
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tides roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time


70.Black On Black： Gonna Write A Letter

Lyricist：Paul Kennerley

I'm gonna write a letter, gonna mail it today
Just as soon as I can think of the words to say
I've been needing to send it for nearly a year
'Cause there's a woman back home who's wanting to hear

I meant to tell you, oh, Susannah
I'm a long way from Louisiana and you
And I know I promised to be returning
Just as soon as I can save the money I'm earning for you
But I'm married to twins and I'm living in Peru

I'm gonna write a letter, get it off of my mind
But you know that the words ain't easy to find
Well, I'm sitting and thinking with my pen in my hand
How can I ever make her understand？

I meant to tell you, dear Julia
I'm a long way from the states, mosquitoes and you
I'll send some money to help with the kids
And I'd like to thank you for all that you did, it's true
Well, I'm in Louisiana, I got Susannah too

I got me a letter, it arrived today
And the words I read really blew me away
I don't believe I've ever felt so low
How could old Susannah ever treat me so？

She said, 'I meant to tell you, my sweet honey
I'm a long way from your love and money and you
Please don't think me underhand
I do believe you could understand me too
I got a bar and a grill with Bill in Kalamazoo'


71.Black On Black： Honky Tonk Blues

Lyricist：Hank Sr Williams

Well, I left my home down on a rural route
Told my Pappa I'm goin', steppin' out
To get them honky tonk blues, jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well, lord I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

In and out of every joint in this town
The city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues, honky tonk blues
Well, lord I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna slap my boogie underneath my arm
Scud right back to my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues, the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well, lord I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I left my home down on a rural route
Told my Pappa I'm goin', steppin' out
To get them honky tonk blues, jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well, lord I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

Left my home down on a rural route


72.Just Watch Your Mama ＆ Me

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

You are my children, my gifts to the world
You are the lights of my life
You all have your good hearts, you have your own strength
So I know you'll all do alright

As I look to the future from this day in time
The truth is, I don't have a clue
There are modern day wonders I don't understand
So I'll leave that all up to you

But if you wanna learn how to dance
Just watch your mama and me

Just a good ole boy and his lady
Nothing too fancy to see
If you want to be happy
Just watch your mama and me

There are so many changes, changing too fast
Things I know nothing about
But somethings remain, just stay the same
And that's where I might help you out

So if you wanna learn how to dance
Just watch your mama and me

Just a good ole boy and his lady
Nothing too fancy to see
If you want to be happy
Just watch your mama and me


73.If You See Me Getting Smaller

Lyricist：Jimmy Webb

Willie, we've been constant companions
You know the light and shade
We have spent a million dollars
Find out what we made

We have made the maidens marvel
The things we do and say
Down, down and out brother
Up, up in the way

If you see me gettin' smaller
I'm leavin', don't be free there
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller
Don't worry and no hurry
I've got the right to disappear

God bless old Philadelphia
They were standing in the rain
Out in front of a main points
Wet and lonely train

Who knows who they came to see
A madman full of beer
A four piece band and a charter bus
My further line career

If you see me gettin' smaller
I'm leavin', don't be free there
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller
Don't worry and no hurry
I've got the right to disappear


74.Good Ole' 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
Flatenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get â~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


75.Highwayman

Lyricist：Jimmy Webb

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side

Many a young maid
Lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed
His lifeblood on my blade

The bastards hung me
In the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
With the sea I did abide

I sailed a schooner
'Round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled
The mainsail in a blow

And when the yards broke off
They said that I got killed
But I am livin' still

I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide

A place called Boulder
On the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into
The wet concrete below

They buried me in
That great tomb
That knows no sound
But I am still around

I'll always be around
And around and around
And around and around
And around

I fly a starship
'Cross the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side

I'll find a place to rest
My spirit if I can
Perhaps, I may become
A highwayman again

Or I may simply be
A single drop of rain
But I will remain

And I'll be back again
And again and again
And again and again
And again


76.Mason Dixie Lines

Lyricist：Danny Joe Mitchell

Someone who knows me well is spreading rumors
About the hearts I've broken in my time
From northern Maine down to Palestine, Texas
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines

My Texas draw just kills them in Ohio
In Dixieland my New York flow is fine
North or south I got two different ways of coming on
That's why they call it my Mason Dixon line

Mothers have been warning all their daughters
Telling them they'd better run and hide
Stay away from that silver tongued devil
And beware of his Mason Dixon lines

This southern boy delights them up in Detroit
But Georgia girls like Hollywood and wine
City dude or southern gent I give them what they want
And I hit them with my Mason Dixon lines

My papa told me son respect the ladies
So I respect them each and every night
I found out what they're looking for then I just change my habit
They all want my Mason Dixon lines

Someone who knows me well is spreading rumors
About the hearts I've broken in my time
From northern Maine down to Palestine, Texas
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines

They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines
They're talking 'bout my Mason Dixon lines


77.Come Stay With Me

Lyricist：Jackie Deshannon

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all my life
I'll do what I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

Lovers of the past, I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
Yes, I'll be as true as true as you can be
If you'll come and stay with me

Promises I make so faithfully
I'll keep still should you decide to leave
I'll try and see if you'll have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me

We live a life no one has ever known
God gave life to you on your own
Hoping God that I stand finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

Hoping God that I stand finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me


78.Cactus Texas

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Do you remember Cactus Texas？
Nothing but a wide place in the road
Eighteen wheelers never go there
Main Street's just too narrow for the load

A little town of honest people
Some we haven't seen for quite awhile
I was young and restless
And we both were full of dreams and running wild

We left our old hometown and family
Barely had a nickel to our name
We were out to win the world
Not once looking back or losing aim

We hit the big town and the big time
Not a lot of effort in the deal
But in the bargain, we lost touch with one another
And old feelings that were real

In a big house up on easy street
Where too much never seems to be enough
We're not the same two people far away
From all the days when the times were rough

Including you and I
Is separated by a wall
It's not something we can talk about
In fact we seldom even talk at all

I don't think we realize
How or why we ever came this far
Let's go back to Cactus Texas
Maybe once we're there, we'll find out where we are


79.Crowd

Lyricist：Joe Melson, Roy Orbison

I go out with the crowd, I play the game
Pretending out loud but it don't seem the same
For the heart of the crowd is gone from sight
And my part of the crowd is not with me tonight

I remember the times, each dance with you
All those crazy things that we used to do
Sometimes we'd wait for the dance and then steal away
From the crowd and the dance till I hide away

Oh, but you're gone and it's not the same old game
I fall apart every time I hear your name
I'll go on with the crowd of make believe
Till you come back to me

Run back to me
Hurry back to the crowd and me


80.Music Man： Do It Again

Lyricist：Walter Becker, Donald Fagen

In the morning you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
Then you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border

And the mourners are all singing
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hanging
And they put you on the street

You go back Jack, do it again
Wheels turning round and round
You go back Jack, do it again

When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end

Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smiling
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

You go back Jack, do it again
Wheels turning round and round
You go back Jack, do it again

And you swear and kick, and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand

Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back Jack, do it again
Wheels turning round and round
You go back Jack, do it again


81.These New Changing Times

Lyricist：Harold Gay, Waylon Jennings

I'll play the tambourine
Follow the sun
I'll never let you down
In these new changing times

You're going places
In these new changing times
Making your mark in this world
Is a long straight line

You need someone to go
To go along with you
To love you and help you
And to do what you'll wanna do

I'll play the tambourine
Follow the sun
I'll never let you down
In these new changing times

You have all your dreams
In these new changing times
If they seem out of reach
Just keep this thought in mind

You need someone to go
To go along with you
To love you and help you
And to do what you'll wanna do


82.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
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
And we'll live in a world of our own

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

And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
And we'll live in a world of our own


83.Where Do We Go From Here

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah

Time keeps changing lanes and shifting gears
Racin' down the road that disappears
Where do we go from here？

Tryin' to survive these modern days
The old fashioned way

Time keeps changing lanes and shifting gears
Racin' down the road that disappears
Where do we go from here？


84.She's Looking Good

Lyricist：Autry Inman

Everybody that I see
Says she's looking good
There's no doubt about it
She's looking good

There's just one thing that worries me
It happened this way before
She's looking good and I'm afraid
She'll find what she's looking for

There was a time her love was mine
And I was her whole world
But from time to time she changed her mind
Then she's a different girl

She'll paint her face and comb her hair
A picture that I adore
And I die each time so afraid she'll find
What she's looking for

Mhm, she's looking good
Mhm, she's looking good


85.Which Way Do I Go (Now That I'm Gone)

Lyricist：Stephen Lewis Clark, Johnny Macrae

I put yesterday and half the night between us
Made up my mind this time I'm gonna stay
Now I'm sitting on the shoulder thinking it all over
Looking for a sign that might show me the way

Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I turn, now that I've learned how to be strong
Do I take the road that takes me back to where it all went wrong
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone

Now I listen to the midnight rain that's falling
Watch the headlines glisten as they pass me by
And I envy them for knowing exactly where they're going
Just like I thought I knew when I told you goodbye

Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I turn Lord, now that I've learned how to be strong
Do I take the road that takes me back to where it all went wrong
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone


86.Old Friend

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

Was it really years ago？
It seems like only yesterday
The last time that I saw
You laugh at me and fly away

I remember all of the good times
And the songs we used to sing
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Lord, you should've heard the music
And all the changes it's gone through
But the funny thing is lately
It keeps on easing back to you

But there's always something missing
It'll never be the same
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

They've been writin' books about you
And the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
And we both know you're as mean as hell

Well, I've had my share of hard times
But I've lived through the strain
Old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

People talk about you
After all this time
You were many things to many people
But you were a friend of mine

I've been thinking 'bout how long
You've been gone, the things you've never seen
But old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Old buddy, we sure've missed you
But you ain't missed a thing


87.Dreaming My Dreams Of 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


88.I'm Living Proof (There's Life After You)

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah

You were the toast of the town
And I was the one that you chose
You took me the long way around
But that's what it takes, I suppose

A fool can get lost in a dream
Desire always covers the wrong
Nothing is as bad as it seems
'Cause I've learned to live with you gone

I'm living proof, there's life after you
After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you

Yes, a fool can get lost in a dream
Desire always covers the wrong
But nothing is as bad as it seems
'Cause I've learned to live with you gone

I'm living proof, there's life after you
After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you

After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you


89.I Ain't The One

Lyricist：Jessi Colter

You're lookin' for someone
Who's got it all to give
You're lookin' for someone
Who won't care how you live
You're lookin' for someone
Who only lovin' you

I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one

Lookin' for someone
To dry your tears when you cry
Lookin' for someone
To turn his back each time you lie
You're lookin' for someone
To walk on then walk by

But I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one

I ain't the one who let you do
What you want to
I ain't the one who sits still
Let you be untrue
I ain't the one who'll go on lovin' you
No matter what you do

I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one

Just keep lookin' further down the road
You might find yourself someone
Who likes walkin' alone
Someone you'll play with
And leave dead by the road

I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one
I ain't the one, I ain't the one


90.Waking Up With You

Lyricist：Charlie Craig, Waylon Jennings, Roger Murrah

Like a sail that's torn and can't ride the wind
Here I stand looking both ways again
I'm a dollar short on a three dollar night
Turning left 'cause I ain't got no right

I keep thinking this time maybe it
But somehow all the pieces just won't fit
But I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you

You told me once that storms never last
I know it's true oh, so true
Just when I think the clouds will never pass
Like a silver lining you come shining through

I know you'll always be there right or wrong
Together we'll keep on keeping on
And I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you

You told me once that storms never last
I know it's true oh, so true
Just when I think the clouds will never pass
Like a silver lining you come shining through

I know you'll always be there right or wrong
Together we'll keep on keeping on
And I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you

I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you


91.Out Of Jail

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I sat at a bar having a beer
Trying to hold down the stool
When a stranger walked in, stood there beside me
And plopped down there like a fool

He started drinking, then he started talking
About things that were wrong in his life
The more that I heard, the more I believed
The thing that was wrong was his wife

You talk about beauty when we first met
She was all a man could desire
Talk about love one night with her
Would set your very soul on fire

But love's little flame is out of control
About three feet high from behind
Ever since we've been married, well I've come to believe
That love's for the dumb and the blind

'Cause you talk about ugly
When she gets mad, she goes from Jekyll to Hyde
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
And pivot from side to side

She completely rewrites the whole English language
Descriptive, four-lettered and loud
Now I can't outthink her but I can sure outdrink her
And that's what I'm doing here now

I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
Seven and going on eight
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and she's overweight

If I try leavin' she has me arrested
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
If she ain't number one, she's in the top two
Of things that I could live without

Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
In a few years they're back on the streets
Highway robbery and white collar crime
And they laugh at the system they beat

Sometimes I'm tempted, sometimes I'm ashamed
Of the things that the law will allow
I could have killed her when I first met her
And I'd have been out of jail by now
I could have killed her when we first met
And I've have been out of jail by now


92.Leave Them Boys Alone

Lyricist：Dean Dillon, Gary Ronnie Stewart, Tanya Denise Tucker, Hank
Jr Williams

Now they say Hank Jr. has strayed away
From all them songs that put his daddy in an early grave
But his daddy would be proud if he could see Bocephus now
Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song？

Oh, Waylon has been known to play half time
He been known to get out of his mind
Don't know whether he's right or wrong
He's got a string of hits about two miles long
Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song？

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song
You know they're gonna do whatever they want
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first
stone？
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song？

Hank Williams was the king of country soul
My dad took me to see him in Lubbock but he didn't show
Now the people got mad and they all went home
The first thing we did was put his records on
I guess we should have left him alone and let him sing his songs

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song
You know they're gonna do whatever they want
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first
stone？
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song？
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song？


93.Silver Stallion

Lyricist：Lee Clayton

I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a brother
One day we'll saddle up and ride

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

I'm gonna find me a reckless woman
Razor blades and dice in her eyes
Just a touch of sadness in her fingers
Thunder and lightning in her thighs

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the woman and the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride


94.Unchained Melody

Lyricist：Alex North, Hy Zaret

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine？

I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, such a long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine？

I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me


95.I'm Gonna Leave (while I Still Love You)

Lyricist：Martha Marion Sharp

You took the little gifts I gave as though
Afraid each one contained some sort of bribe
And so the joy you might have had from someone giving
'Cause they can has been denied

And now the frown of discontent upon your face
Grows deep and felt with time
And I'm gonna leave while I still love you

I know there's no way that I can
Make up to you for whatever wrong
Has caused you all the pain and sorrow
That your heart has lived on for so long

And the wall you've built between us
Higher now and harder now to climb
And I'm gonna leave while I still love you

I wish that I could be all the reasons
That you need to go on live'n'
I wish that I could give you what you want
So I can get what I'm not gett'n'

But happiness is not a gift
That I can bring you tied with pretty ribbons
And so before I'm left with only bitterness
And memories of bad times

Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you
Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you


96.Gemini Song (when I'm Bad I'm Bad)

Lyricist：Waylon Jennings

I could tell you a story from another day in time
How a high falootin' woman tried to make me walk the line
She was into changin' too damn hard to please
And the last time I saw her she was down on her knees

Born under the sign of the Gemini twins
There's two sides to me and they ain't even friends
All sides are rising and there ain't no in between
When I'm bad I'm bad when I'm good I'm the best you ever seen

Sometimes I'm out a prowlin' and carryin' on
Too high to know when it's time to take it home
When I'm like that it's hard to leave the women alone
It ain't easy thinkin' right with a good looking wrong

For another sign of the Gemini twins
This two sides to me and me ain't even friends
All sides are rising in the rainbow in between
When I'm good I'm good when I'm bad I'm the worst you ever seen

There's a good hearted woman waitin' when I come in
She don't wasting time and asking me about where I've been
She keeps it all together and to wish that you could see
Know she goes about bring it out the best side of me

Born under the sign of the Gemini twins
There's two sides to me and they ain't even friends
All signs are rising and there ain't no in between
When I'm bad I'm bad when I'm good I'm the best you ever seen


97.Games People Play

Lyricist：South Joe

Oh, the games people
Now every night and everyday now
Never meanin' what they say
Now never sayin' what they mean, oh no

Well, they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine, oh yeah

Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play, oh now

Well, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame

But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame, yes it does

People walkin' up to ya shouting glory Hallelujah
Well, they wanna sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
Furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Lotten da la da da da

Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and me
God give me the serenity
To remember who I am

'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
'Cause you don't give a do de dee
Lotten da la da da da


98.The Race Is On

Lyricist：Don Rollins

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake

You might say I was taking it hard
Oh, she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Well, the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back and tryin' not to fall

My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each mornin'
And finding that you're gone from me

There's aches and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I wound up in second place

Well, the race is on and here comes pride
Up the backstretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back and tryin' not to fall

My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all


99.House Song

Lyricist：Robert Bannard, Noel Stookey

This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning
It's taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a part of it if you want to
It's been good for me if it's been good to you

Take the grand look now, the fire is burning
Is that your reflection on the wall？
I can show you this room and some others
If you care to see this house at all

Careful up the stairs, a few are missing
I haven't had the time to make repairs
The first one is the hardest one to master
The last one I'm not really sure is there

This room once reigned with childish laughter
I come back to hear it now and again
Don't know why you're here and what you're after
In this room a part of you remains

Second floor, lady slept in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
In the room are soft brown arms of shadows
This room is the hardest one to pass


100.Tomorrow Night In Baltimore

Lyricist：Kenny Price

Her head rolls back and forth
Against the billows of her long black shiny hair
As she contemplates the ecstasy
Of some other love that now she wished was there

If she could only realize that the love I have
Could beckon her command
Instead of laughing endlessly and pushing back
Advances with her hands

Every night I see her leaves a nightmare
Of illusions when she's gone
And it leaves a longing feeling in a man
With a pain that lingers on

The gaudy goodbye can't replace
The girlish giggle of her sweet hello
But tonight I've made my crumbled mind up
That I'll never ever let her go

Too many nights I've watched her tease
By shifting all her weight from hip to hip
And with her hands brush back the falling strands
That cover up her satin lips

She struts upon the stage
And her fallen victims are calling out for more
But she leaves them stranded helplessly
And exits to her dressing room door

Tonight I'm gonna take her
I've infiltrated past the guarded door
But she just hurries by me carrying
All those scanty costumes that she wore

And she asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat
If he would open up the door
Then she told him to load the baggage
Because they open tomorrow night in Baltimore

God' if I have to crawl
I'm gonna be there tomorrow night in Baltimore
