- An Old Memory Like Me
There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause you can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
- Bad Man
I have a reputation that's known throughout the land
They say I'm faster on the draw than any livin' man
They call me a bad man, they say I kill for fun
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
It happened many years ago when I was just a lad
I rode into a cattletown a boy of twenty-three
- Blue Moon
Once upon a time, before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night like the poorest find beguiling
Seems flat as the moonlight
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
And life was a bitter cup
- Desperado Love
Listen while you read!
Should I just ride in and steal you away
Don't know what else to do
I got a desperado love for you
They say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
- Don't Cry Joni
Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Oh, but two hours of pushin' them brooms
Buys a eight-by-twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
- FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Conway Twitty
I saw a man today who said he'd talked to you
Not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind goes back in time I pray
Oh lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
- Happy Birthday Darlin'
Hello darlin' happy birthday
I've decided not to give you a present this year

By giving you some faith to hold on to honey whenever your hand is not in mine
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments, by spendin' more of mine with you

- Hey Little Lucy
Mmm, baby, when I take you out tonight
Fix your hair, dress up right
Paint your fingertips nice and red
But leave your sweet, sweet lips alone
Little Lucy, don'tcha put no lipstick on
(Little Lucy) don'tcha put no lipstick on
Before the night is through
- I Love You More Today
I want you more than anything in the world
You mean more to me than any other girl
Now he's with you things you do with him we've done them for so long
I love you more today than he can from now on
I kissed your tears away when you were sad
Held you close felt your warm love when you were glad
So no matter how much love he has for you or how long
I love you more today than he can from now on
- I See The Want In Your Eyes
I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can tell you're not about to fall for any of my lines
I see the want to in your eyes
Deep in your smile there's a quiet, soft desire
Like the ember of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again
You know it isn't wise
- I See The Want To In Your Eyes
I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can tell you're not about to fall for any of my lies
I see the want to in your eyes
Deep in your smile there's a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again, you know it isn't wise
- I'd Love To Lay You Down
There's a lot of ways of saying
What I wanna say to you
There's songs and poems and promises
And dreams that might come true
But I won't talk of starry skies
Or moonlight on the ground
I'll come right out and tell you
I'd just love to lay you down
- Lay You Down
There's a lot of ways of saying
What I want to say to you
There's songs and poems and promises
and dreams that might come true
But I won't talk of starry skys
or moonlight on the ground
I'll come right out and tell you
I'd just love to lay you down
- Lonely Blue Boy
My name should be trouble
My name should be woe
For trouble and heartache is all that I know
Yeah lonely lonely blue boy is my name
My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been raining the night I was born
- Lousiana Woman, Mississippi Man
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try.
- Maybe Baby
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me (All for me)
It's funny honey you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby you will love me someday (Someday)
Well, you are the one (You're the one) that makes me glad (You're the one)
And you are the one (You're the one) that makes me sad (You're the one)
- My Babe
My baby don't stand no cheating, my Babe
My baby don't stand no cheating, my Babe
Well, my babe don't stand no cheating,
Don't stand none of that midnight creepin', my Babe
Lord, what a woman my baby, babe.
Yeah, my babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Yeah, my babe, I know she loves me, my babe
- Slow Hand
As the midnight moon, was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees,
I saw the look in your eye, looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted too see
Darling don't say a word, I've already heard,
What your body is saying to mine,
You’ve got a fast move, you got a slow groove, on your mind
- That's My Job
I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
- The Hurt in My Heart
I just got the goodbye news
Handed me, down by Travis Shoes
Yes, our love was just a lie
Don't want you to see me cry
But those are hurts, the hurt in my heart.
Cause, you always loved me so
Guess a fool's the last to know
- The Rose
Some say love, it is a river
And that it drowns the tender reed
And some say love, it's like a razor
And that it leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
- Tight Fittin' Jeans
She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore
But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before
And I felt just like a peasant, who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans
I asked her what's a woman, like you doin' here?
I see you're used to champagne, but I'll buy you a beer
She said you've got me figured out, but I'm not what I seem
And for a dance I'll tell you 'bout these tight fittin' jeans
- Together Forever
Together, forever and always
No more sleepless nights and lonely days
I promise, I've hurt you for the last time
We'll be together, forever and always
I've cheated and I've lied to you so many times
And I'm sorry more than words can say
But I'll make it, yes, I'll make it up to you in time
- Turn Around
Turn your pretty face to mine
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around.
Though you left me for a new love
And your new love turn you down
I forgive you every way
- Turn On Your Love Light
Without a warning you broke my heart
You shouldn't've done it and tore it apart
You left me sittin' in the dark a cryin'
Said your love for me was dyin'.
I'm beggin' you baby, baby please
I'm beggin' you baby, down on my knees
Turn on your light, let it shine on me
- We've Got Tonight
I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see.
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow?
- World Of Forgotten People
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine
Well I've loved and I've been loved but I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had I torn apart
Now I find I was wrong too late I'm all alone alone in a world of broken heart
- You've Never Been This Far Before
I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating bum bum bum
And I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking bum bum bum
And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store bum bum bum
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before bum bum bum
