I've got seven women on my mind, Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine Take It easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load, got a world of trouble on my mind lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find Take it easy, take it easy don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy come on baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me, oh oh oh Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy |

I remember how we struggled When we first started out She recalls we had it all Not what we did without I think back on those hard times She remembers only love Who am I to say that's not Exactly how it was. Chorus: That's how she remembers it She was the lucky one Just take a look at both of us And you tell me who won If she thinks I hung the stars If that's what she believes Then who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory. You ought to hear her tell the kids How mom and daddy met It always amazes me The things that she forgets Somehow she gets it turned around But its still my favorite part How Mommy looked in Daddy's eyes And I stole away her heart. Chorus: That's how she remembers it She was the lucky one Just take a look at both of us And you tell me who won If she thinks I hung the stars If that's what she believes Then who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory. If I made all her dreams come true As far as she can see Who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory... |

Sitting in the barroom ordering another beer
She stepped up on the stage, but nobody wanted to hear And every word she sang was sweet music to my ears. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. It don't matter if the world don't listen Don't you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me. I sat there at the bar she sang the blues all night Singing straight from the heart, living every line I wanna tell you girl, you touched this heart of mine. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. --- Instrumental --- End of the night, they turned the lights down low While the band packed up She was standing there ready to go I walked up and said, hey, I just want to let you know. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. It don't matter if the world don't listen Don't you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me. Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me... |

Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rocking horse Straight into the pale moonlight, make believe of course But what's a little girl of eight Supposed to do when she's up so late She can't sleep 'cause it sounds like hate Coming from her momma and daddy's room. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Your momma left and your daddy cussed All they ever seem to do is fuss, ride on. Tommy Lee's got a space machine, He keeps it ready on the launching pad 'Cause there've been times that he has seen, An alien invade his dad So he heads out for the stars Past the moon and straight to Mars But what about the invisible scars That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Your momma left and your daddy changed You don't even know who's to blame, so ride on. Bridge: Some people just lose control, Some people hit overload Some people act like some people, They never thought they'd be So why can't we all see The only antidote, The only way to cope The only true hope is love. So everybody won't you. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Go ahead and test your faith There's still a lot of hope, it's never too late. To ride on the wings of love, ride on... |

I don't want nobody I'm better off alone I'm sworn to independence My heart is made of stone But you're breakin' on through Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you. I've been tapping my toes To the way you talk And I've been singin' along To the way you walk I've got to do Somethin' 'bout you. Chorus Well, I've got this place of mine It's nice and quiet and I like it fine I work real hard got no time for you But I've whiskied up my coffee cup Sittin' here tryin' not to call you up It's gettin' to where I don't know what to do Oh. there's somethin' 'bout you. --- Instrumental --- Somethin' about you like distant thunder And I can't say I ain't been warned But there's no shelter to crawl under Ever gonna save me from this storm. Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you That I can't shake There's somethin' 'bout you That's been keeping me awake The whole night through Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you. Chorus Well, I've got this place of mine It's nice and quiet and I like it fine I work real hard got no time for you But I've whiskied up my coffee cup Sittin' here tryin' not to call you up It's gettin' to where I don't know what to do Oh. there's somethin' 'bout you, babe, somethin' 'bout you... |

Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door
With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower That's a sure fire way to make a buck when you're fourteen Well he walked the block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sitting on the front porch eating' ice cream Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didn't wash them thank the lord Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle's gone, but not in their eyes And he's wanting to tell her what's been on his mind lately He said, girl I ain't rich but I've been saving up A little ever day 'til I had enough Before he could finished she said, you know I will baby Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond once a year she takes it out but it don't fit her hand she wears it in her heart that's where it all began Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young L:ike a Cracker Jack Diamond... --- Instrumental to fade --- |

Everybody comes with baggage Places and poeple before You don't know what all your getting When love walks through your door, through your door. I've had some hills and some valleys You've done some traveling too You can tell by the dents and the scratches Our hearts aren't exactly brand new. Chorus: From now on is all that counts From now on is all that matters That's what living's all about From different roads we find each other You're the only love I want, from now on. I'm thankful for the ones before me I'm grateful that they didn't stay We can't do a thing about it And it's made us who we are today. Chorus: From now on is all that counts From now on is all that matters That's what living's all about From different roads we find each other You're the only love I want, from now on. --- Instrumental --- Chorus: From now on is all that counts From now on is all that matters That's what living's all about From different roads we find each other You're the only love I want, from now on... |

Chorus: Pancho, don't you like me no more Pancho, to me our friendship means more Pancho, please forget what I said 'Cause Pancho were headin' towards our end. I remember the first time when you came to town Speaking in Spanish making the rounds When you first saw me your face was agrin And you called me the Cisco Kid. Chorus: Pancho, don't you like me no more Pancho, to me our friendship means more Pancho, please forget what I said 'Cause Pancho were headin' towards our end. I said someday you'll be happy with me Pancho. I remember the good times when you loved me so I gave you my hat and you wore your sombrero And all of the times you saved me from death Oh Pancho, you were the best. I had a black horse, you had a grey My horse was fastest but yours did okay When it came to chasin' rustlers we'd always win 'Cause we were Pancho and the Cisco Kid. Oh Pancho, we're headin' towards our end... |

Handful of Dust, Handfuls of Dust,
True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust. Well break us down by our elements, And you might think He failed. We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail. And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust However small though our worth may be, When shared between two hearts. Is evermore than it would ever be Measured on it's own apart. And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust Handfuls of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust... |

Harry and Joe moved south with their wives Enjoying the golden years of their lives But life doesn't always give back what it owes Suddenly there was just, Harry and Joe. Now Joe'd been a teacher gentile and calm Harry, a teamster with a fuse like a bomb Thrown in together by life's crazy whims That pepper and salt like their unshaven chins. Chorus: Harry and Joe lean to and fro They lean on each other wherever they go Two lonely fighters doing all that they know To get through each day, Harry and Joe, Harry and Joe, cheating at cards In a Florida apartment that smells like cigars They brag about grand kids and the wives they love so In the late afternoons of Harry and Joe. Chorus: Harry and Joe lean to and fro They lean on each other wherever they go Two lonely fighters doing all that they know To get through each day, Harry and Joe. An ambulance siren from across the backyard Joe looks at Harry and deals out the cards Harry and Joe lean to and fro Like they lean on each other wherever they go What tomorrow may deal them there's no way to know So they get through today, Harry and Joe. They get through each day, Harry and Joe... |

How Did You Do It
Don Williams Dave Hanner/Bob Corbin Album: I Turn The Page You don't seem to be doing all that bad In fact you look good You don't seem to be feeling all that sad Like I thought maybe you would CHORUS: How, how did you do it How did you let it go How, how did you do it I need to know Now you've got friends to help you when you're sad There's even someone you've been seeing Now I know there's nothing wrong with that In fact it's a good thing CHORUS: How, how did you do it How did you let it go How, how did you do it I need to know One last question before you go If you're really over you and me How did you get there, I need to know Cause that's where I'd like to be CHORUS: How, how did you do it How did you let it go How, how did you do it I need to know CHORUS: How, how did you do it How did you let it go How, how did you do it I need to know |

When I was younger, the hunger came calling And humbly I answered each rising and falling I will not surrender at this wiser and tender age I turn the page. Chorus: And I sing for Joy For the smile that it brings, from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise, till her love put a song In the soul of this good ole boy I sing for Joy. When I was lonely, my angel found me She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away Now I can sing. Chorus: And I sing for Joy For the smile that it brings, from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise, till her love put a song In the soul of this good ole boy I sing for Joy. --- Instrumental --- Who could come nearer, to making life clearer The time we're together grows dearer and dearer When I must travel and I have to leave her alone She's in my song. Chorus: And I sing for Joy For the smile that it brings, from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise, till her love put a song In the soul of this good ole boy I sing for Joy. Of her love put a song In the soul of this good ole boy I sing for Joy... |
