I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line |

Hey, get rhythm!
When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones, Put taps on your toes, and get goin' Get rhythm! When you get the blues! A little shoe-shine boy he never gets low-down, But he's got the dirtiest job in town! Bending low at the peoples' feet, On a windy corner of a dirty street. Well, I asked him while she shined my shoes, How'd he keep from getting the blues. He grinned as he raised his little head, He popped a shoe-shine rag, and he said Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine, It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind. Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones, Put taps on your toes, and get goin' Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Well, I had to listen to the shoe-shine boy, And I thought I was gonna jump for joy! Slapped on the shoe polish left and right, He took a shoe-shine rag and he held it tight. He stopped once to wipe the sweat away, I said, you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way! He said I like it, with a big wide grin, Kept on a-poppin' and he said again, Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe. It does a million dollars worth of good for you. Get rhythm! When you get the blues! |

Everybody says you let me down I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do darling I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you were reckless yesterday but together we can find a brighter way In my heart I know that you'll come true darling I could never be ashamed of you [ guitar ] All the happiness I've ever known came the day you said you'd be my own And it matters not what we go through darling I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you've been cheated in the past and perhaps those memories will always last Even though you prove to be untrue darling I could never be ashamed of you |

Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the street that losers use If you can wade in through the teardrops You'll find me at the Home of the Blues I walk and cry while my heartbeat Keeps time with the drag of my shoes The sun never shines through this window of mine It's dark at the Home of the Blues Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries Mem'ries so sweet that I cry Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad I just want to give up and lay down and die So if you've just lost your sweetheart And it seems there's no good way to choose Come along with me, misery loves company You're welcome at the Home of the Blues Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries Mem'ries so sweet that I cry Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad I just want to give up and lay down and die So if you've just lost your sweetheart And it seems there's no good way to choose Come along with me, misery loves company You're welcome at the Home of the Blues You'll find me at the Home of the Blues Yeah, you're gonna find me at the Home of the Blues |

I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dying fellow said He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco For ten long years I've paid for what I've done I was trying to get back to Louisiana To see my Rose and get to know my son Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me Tell my boy to help his mom at home Tell my Rose to try to find another For it ain't right that she should live alone Mister here's a bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for finding me this morning And don't forget to give my love to Rose Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose |

We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country style
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild Played a railroad song with a stomping beat We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet But the thing that knocked them off of their feet was, ooh-wee When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way Play it strange! Well, we did our best to entertain everywhere we'd go We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show Played jumping jive to make 'em get in the groove We played sad songs, real slow and smooth But the only thing that'd make 'em move was, ooh-wee When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie Now, did Luther play the boogie strange? |

I love you because you understand dear
Every little thing I try to do Your always there to lend a helping hand dear But most of all I love you cause you're you No matter what may be the style or season I know your love will always see me through I love you for a hundred- thousand reasons But most of all I love you cause you're you I love you because my heart is lighter Every time I'm walking by your side I love you because the future's brighter The glow to happiness you've opened wide No matter what the world may say about me I know your heart will always be true I love you for the way you never doubt me But most of all I love you cause you're you |

I give my woman half my money at the general store
I said, "Now buy a little groceries, and don't spend no more." But she gave ten dollars for a ten cent hat And bought some store bought cat food for a mean eyed cat. When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket She was mad as she could be Then I bet ten more that if she ever left She'd come a-crawlin' back to me When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed I found a little old note where her head belonged It said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone." When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin' I was scared as I could be I put on my overalls and I headed to town Gonna bring her back with me. I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad blamed...... I believe I did see her leavin' on the east bound train." I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train I was broke as I could be But when I come back, gotta buy another ticket Gotta bring her back with me. Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas And I worked up the guts to call my Mother-In-Law She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right." "She's workin' four to twelve at Trucker's World tonight." When I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apron And she grabbed her goin' home hat She bought a ticket with her tips And now we're curled up on the sofa, me and her... and that mean eyed cat |

There are some people,who say we cannot tell,
Whether we are saved or, whether all is well; They say we only can hope and, trust that it is so, But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know. Chorus Yes, I know when Jesus saved me (yes, He saved my soul), The very moment He forgave me (yes, He made me whole); He took away my heavy burden (yes, He took my sin and), And He gave me peace within (gave me peace within). Satan can't make me doubt it (he can't make me doubt it), It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it); 'Cause I was there when it happened (oh, my Lord), and I guess I ought to know (yes, I ought to know). Now, I don't care who tells me, salvation is not real, Though the world may argue, that we cannot feel; The heavy burdens lifted and the vile sins go, But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know. |

I saved a lot of money my fortune was untold
And like a fool I idealized my silver and my gold My earthly treasure's mounted but when I counted through I realized the treasure I had overlooked was you My treasure unmeasured but forsaken of the treasures that come from above My treasure unmeasured but it don't hold a heart of the one that I love If I had my life before me if I could see it all I'd stake my claim on things that are secured against downfall I'd work for earthly treasures like any man would do But I set my sights much higher and I'd be sure that I had you My treasure unmeasured unmeasured... |

Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
and the guns went off in my chest Remember carrying the baby for you Crying in the wilderness I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin I cut them off as limbs I drove out over the flatlands hunting down you and him The sky was big and empty My chest filled to explode I yelled my insides out at the sun At the wide open road it's a wide open road, it's a wide open road How do you think it feels sleeping by yourself? when the one you love, the one you love is with someone else Then it's a wide open road It's a wide open road And now you can go any place that you ever wanted to go I wake up in the morning thinking I'm still by your side I reach out just to touch you then I realise It's a wide open road It's a wide open road |
