- Bring It on Down to My House, Honey
Bring it on down to my house honey, there ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
Tom cat sittin' on the railroad track
Well he hollered at the Mama cat, she answered back
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
(Ohhh, yes)
- Hello Walls
Hello walls, (Hello, hello.)
How'd things go for you today?
Don't you miss her.
Since she up and walked away?
And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me,
But lonely walls, I'll keep you company.
Hello window, (Hello, hello.)
Well, I see that you're still here.
- Just Dropped In
Да, да, о да, в каком состоянии было мое состояние.
Я проснулся этим утром, заходящее солнце сияло.
Я нашел свой разум в коричневом бумажном пакете,
Но потом я споткнулся об облако и упал на восемь миль вверх,
Мой разум порвался об зубчатое небо,
Я заглянул только для того, чтобы увидеть, в каком состоянии было мое состояние.

- A Song for You
Well I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watchin'
Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you
And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
No one more important to me darling can't you please see through me
Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you
- Always On My Mind
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind you were always on my mind
And maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
- Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
I was blind, but now I see.
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relived.
How precious did that grace appear
- Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
If you had not of fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wings
And hung around awhile
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
- Are You Sure
Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be
These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
- Back to Earth
I guess my heart has settled back to Earth.
I rode a dream so wild and free for all that dream was worth.
But true love is both a blessing and a curse.
Today my heart just settled back to Earth.
Now I know just how you felt that night so long ago.
But the dream for you had ended and you let me know.
So I bounced from sky to sky,
- Beer for My Horses
Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far yeah
They didn't get too far
- Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain
In twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
- Blue skies
Blue skies smiling at me,
Nothing but blue skies do I see.
Blue birds singing a song,
Nothing but blue birds all day long.
Never saw the sun shining so bright,
Never saw things going so right,
Noticing the days hurrying by,
- Border Song
Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the spectre he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
- Bring Me Sunshine
Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter all the while
In this world where we live there should be more happiness
So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow
Make me happy through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
- Bubbles In My Beer
Tonight in a bar alone, I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
I'm seeing a road that I've traveled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
- Buddy
Laugh with me, buddy, jest with me, buddy
Don't let her get the best of me, buddy
Don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
And if I ever needed you, buddy
You know how I really do, buddy
So don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
- City Of New Orleans
Goodman
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
- Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other
There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend
Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men
Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women,
- Crazy
Crazy,
Crazy for feeling sо lоnely.
I'm crazy,
Crazy fоr feeling so blue.
I know,
Yоu'd love me as lоng as you wanted.
Then sоmeday,
- Freight Train Boogie
Casey Jones he was a mighty man
But now he's resting in the promised land
The kind of music he could understand
Was an eight wheel driver under his command
[Refrain:]
He made the freight train boogie
All the time
- Gravedigger
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his
Great grandchildren believe
He could live to a 103
A hundred and three is forever
When you're just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever
- He Was A Friend Of Mine
He was a friend of mine...
He was a friend of mine...
Every time I think of him
I just can't keep from crying.
Because he was a friend of mine
He died on the road...
He died on the road...
- Hell And Back
shot in the hip and left for dead
in come the iron birds from overhead
i overheard that Sharp is dead as night
looks like rain even when there's sun
maybe its just the blood from the wound
that fills my face and stains my hands, is it mine
when we were handsome and brave
- I Don't Feel Anything
I don't feel anything what was I worried for
I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
How I must have loved you once upon a time
And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
- I Never Cared For You
The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
And the sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you
I know you won't believe these things I tell you
No you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you
- I Was Just Walkin' Out The Door
I was just walkin' out the door it's too bad you didn't come before
I waited so long so long so long now there's no time to wait anymore
How I cried for you day and night and for the letters that you didn't write
But now it's alright alright alright you won't have to write anymore
Not so long ago you will never know what this day to me could have been
But it's all changed now darling anyhow it was nice to see you again
Well it's almost a quarter to four sorry I can't stay anymore
Must be on my way this is my wedding day and I was just walkin' out the door
- I'd Have To Be Crazy
I'd have to be crazy
To stop all my singing
And never play music again
You'd call me a fool
If I grabbed up a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind
- I'm crazy for loving you
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue
I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
- Last Letter
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 when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all the clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
Just think of the teardrops the heartaches and sorrow you'll save
- Man With the Blues
If you need some advice in being lonely
If you need a little help in feelin' blue
If you need some advice on how to cry all night
Come to me I'm the man with the blues
I'm the man with a hundred thousand heart aches (a good selection all in blue)
And I've got most any color of the blues
So if you need a little shove in foulin' up in love
- Marie
I stood in line and left my name
Took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Said they'd let me know
I put in my time till the Pocono line
Shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie
Now I can't stay there no more
- Me And Paul
It's been rough and rocky travelin'
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground
After takin' several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound
I guess Nashville was the roughest
But I know I've said the same about them all
We received our education
- medley blue rock montana
Well, he rode into Blue Rock
Dusty and tired
And he got him a room for the night
He lay there in silence
With too much on his mind
Still hopin' that he was not right
But he found them that evenin'
- Midnight Run
Words and music by Marc Copely, James Bernard Dolan
& Adam Stuart Levy
Performed by John Wesley Ryles|Willie Nelson
Midnight run down a cold out roll,
Cloud upon a shine on a flatbed board
The headlights off and the coast is clear,
Grab that wheel on the go to fear.
- Night Life
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
- On The Road Again
On the road again -
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been.
- On The Sunny Side Of The Street
Grab your coat and get your hat leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid this rover crossed over
If I never have a cent I'll be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
- Rainy Day Blues
Well it's cloudy in the morning gonna be raining in the afternoon
Cloudy in the morning and it's gonna be raining in the afternoon
If you don't like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move
But if you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
If you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
Is the road that leads to nowhere and nowhere is a fool like me
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
- Satisfied Mind
How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had his money I'd do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Once I was winning in fortune and fame;
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in lifes game.
But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
- Second Fiddle
You asked me if I'd care
If you danced with Joe
I said yes it's all right
But my heart whispered no
For inside I was crying
For last night it was Jim
Must I play second fiddle
While you're dancing with them
- She Loves My Automobile
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.
Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.
- Sittin' on Top of the World
It was in the summer, not in the fall
I spent all my money on alcohol
An' now you're gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
No need to cry holdin' out your hand
'Cause I can get a woman quick as you can get a man
But you've gone and I don't worry
- Songbird
For you,
There'll be no more cryin'
For you,
The sun will be shinin'
And I feel that when I'm with you, it's alright
I know it's right, do you?
I'll give the world, to you
I'll never be cold
- Stay All Night
Can't go home if you're going by the mill
Cause the bridge' washed out at the bottom of the hill
Big Creek's up, Little Creek's level,
Plow my corn with a double shovel
(Chorus:)
Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all night, dance a little longer
- The Harder They Come.
Well, they tell me of a pie in the sky,
Waiting for me when I die.
But between the day you're born an' when you die,
They never even seem to hear you cry.
So, as sure as the sun will shine,
I'm gonna get my share, now, of what's mine.
And the harder they come,
- The Local Memory
The lights go out each evening at eleven
And up and down our block there's not a sound
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
And just then the local mem'ry comes around
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
He's the hardest working mem'ry in this town
Turns out happiness againand then lets loneliness back in
And each night the local mem'ry comes around
- The Party's Over
Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
- This Face
This face is all I have, worn and lived in
And lines below my eyes are like old friends
And this old hearts' been beaten up
And my ragged soul has had things rough
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in
The fairest they can fall bored in believing
Something to achieve, this peaceful feeling
- Time Of The Preacher
It was the time of the preacher when the story began
Of the choice of a lady and the love of a man
How he loved her so dearly, he went out of his mind
When she left him for someone, she'd left behind
An' he cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
An' he saddled his pony
An he went for a ride
- Touch Me
Touch me touch the hand of a man who once owned all the world
And touch me touch the arms that once held all the charms
Of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me maybe someday you may need to know how it feels when you lose
- Undo The Right
If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
- What Was It You Wanted
What was it you wanted
Tell me again so I'll know
What's happening in there
What's going on in your show
What was it you wanted
Could you say it again
I'll be back in a minute
You can get it together by then.
- When I Was Young And Grandma Wasn't Old
Front porch sittin' in an old rockin' chair
The sun is hot in the Texas sky
Garden growin' clothes out on the line
Dusty road when a car goes by
Story tellin' of days long ago
And the only place she'd ever been
Singin' softly this world is not my home
- Whiskey River
Whiskey river, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
Whiskey river, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
