She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child A devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned green And the sky turned baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight She brought colors to my life That my eyes had never touched And when she taught me how to care I never cared so much I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do And drift off where the grass is green And the sky is baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight |

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile Then she loaded her car and said after a while She'd done this before, but this time she didnt cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. All the times before' she'd break down and cry She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye She just wanetd me to hear what she had to say Now I'm lost for words, saying she went away She may not return for this time she didn't cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye... |

What's going on in your world? I hope that you're doing fine.
I just called to say there's not a day that you don't cross my mind. I just wanted to see if you feel like me - sorry that we said goodbye. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone. Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone. I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone. Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone. I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. What's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. |

You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows. Life is a gamble, a game we all play, But you need to save something for a rainy day. You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life. Don't put it all on the line for just one roll. You've got to have an ace in the hole. If you're headed down a one way street. And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go. In money or love, or all the above, Have a little more than what you show. When life deals out a surprise Have a few surprises of your own. No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole. You've got to have an ace in the hole. A little secret that nobody knows. Life is a gamble, a game we all play, But you need to save something for a rainy day. You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life. Don't put it all on the line for just one roll. You've got to have an ace in the hole. Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole. No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole. |

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

So upset
Nervous wreck I can't believe she said goodbye Sit and smoke Cry and joke About these tears in my eyes How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you A million times A million lines and I bought 'em every one You don't care You rip and tear every dream I've counted on I guess I should thank my unlucky stars That I'm alive And you're the way you are But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you I could raise hell But what the hell it wouldn't do a bit of good I can leave My heart agrees it seems to think that I should There won't be no more next time doing me wrong You'll come back this time to find that I'm gone But that's what you get You should expect that from me That's what I get I've come to expect it from you. |

Says she's had enough of me, I've had enough of her too.
I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose. No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong- That's just the way it sometimes goes. Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road. [Chorus] Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios. Good luck, wish you well, take it slow. Easy come girl, easy go. We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work. I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt. No hard feelings darling, no regrets, No tears and no broken hearts. Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards. [Chorus] Easy come girl, easy go. Vaya con dios, good luck, Easy come, easy go. |

Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start I see it in your eyes You can feel it from my heart From here on after Let's stay the way we are right now And share all the love and laughter That a lifetime will allow Chorus: I cross my heart And promise to Give all I've got to give To make all your dreams come true In all the world You'll never find A love as true as mine You will always be the miracle That makes my life complete And as long as there's a breath in me I'll make yours just as sweet As we look into the future It's as far as we can see So let's make each tomorrow Be the best that it can be Chorus And if along the way we find a day It starts to storm You've got the promise of my love To keep you warm In all the world You'll never find A love as true as mine A love as true as mine |

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. Rosanna's down in Texarkana Wanted me to push her broom Sweet Eileen's in Abilene She forgot I hung the moon And Allison's in Galveston Somehow lost her sanity And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's Got the law looking for me. All my ex's live in Texas And Texas is the place I'd really love to be But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. I remember that old Frio River Where I learned to swim But it brings to mind another time Where I wore my welcome thin By transcendental meditation I go there each night But I always come back to myself Long before daylight. All my ex's live in Texas And Texas is the place I'd really love to be But all my ex's live in Texas Therefore I reside in Tennessee. Some folks think I'm hidin' It's been rumored that I died But I'm alive and well in Tennessee... |

Oh how you sparkle
And oh how you shine The flush on your cheeks Is more than the wine And he must do something That I didn't do Whatever he's doing It looks good on you You look so good in love, You want him That's easy to see You look so good in love I wish you still wanted me He must have stolen The stars from the sky And gave them to you To wear in your eyes I had my chances But I set you free And now I wonder why I couldn't see You look so good in love, you want him It's easy to see You look so good in love I wish you still wanted me (spoken) Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you But tonight your beauty is shining through, And I never took the time to let you know So before he takes you awayplease let me say You look so good in love, You want him Its easy to see You look so good in Love, I wish you still wanted me |
