Chorus:
Well I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home Now I'm living wild and dangerously But I've got plenty of company When the moon comes up And the sun goes down I can't wait to see the lights of town Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home A pretty little girl and a jug of wine Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds I can't wait to lay my money down Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home |

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad
And cry myself to sleep You showed me how this town can shatter dreams Another lesson about a naive fool That came to Babylon And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on There ain't no glamor in this tinseled land Of lost and wasted lives And painful scars are all that's left of me But thank you girl for teaching me Brand new ways to be cruel And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on |

> Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me Today I had another bout with sorrow You know this time I almost won If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow I know that I'd have sorrow on the run Chorus: It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me Your memory comes back up with each sunrise I reach out for the bottle and find it's gone Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me To face this cold, cold world on my own Chorus: It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me |

I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died He said way down yonder in the land of cotton Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are On this damned old L.A. street Then he drew a dying breath And laid his head against my chest Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie Chorus He said listen to me son while you still can Run back home to that Southern land Don't you see what life here has done to me? Then he closed those old blue eyes And fell limp against my side No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie Chorus: I sang Dixie as he died The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died I sang Dixie as he died |

She wore red dresses with her black shining hair She had my baby and caused me to care Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies I never knew him but he took her away On my knees like a madman for vengeance i prayed While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind I searched till i found them, then i cursed at the sight Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light In the dark morning silence i placed the gun to her head She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead |

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry You couldn't tell it by this smile But my recovery took a while I worked for days and nights on end Just to walk and talk again You can't believe the time it takes To heal a heart once it breaks The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry Oh maybe every now and then I have a small heartache again You wouldn't know to look at me There's tiny scars that you can't see It was a struggle to survive I'm probably lucky I'm alive The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry I tell the truth 'cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry |

Take a rock tie a rope
Throw it down in the sea Let it fall to the bottom Nobody knows how deep Stare real hard through the water And you might just perceive The distance between you and me The distance between you and me Take a map of the world And measure with your hand All of the miles Across all of the land Write it down add it up And you might understand About the distance between you and me The distance between you and me I lie awake and hear you breathing Only inches from me in this bed Not much space but it's all that we needed To live alone now that our love is dead I lie awake and hear you breathing Only inches from me in this bed Not much space but it's all that we needed To live alone now that our love is dead Climb the Earth's tallest mountain To where it reaches the sky Take a gun fire a bullet Straight up out of sight Where it stops in the heaven Well that ain't half as high As the distance between you and me The distance between you and me |

The next time that we meet Please don't look so pretty And I won't act so weak Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool You walk in and steal my mind But who gave you the right To treat me like some useless thought You know away each night Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool You make it hard on me But I'll try to pretend That you're just a lovesick dream That always has to end Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool |

Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around Just watching smiles turn into frowns Inside the pocket of a clown Inside the heartache of a fool You'll learn things they don't teach in school And lessons there can be real cruel Inside the heartache of a fool Hollow lies, make a thin disguise As little drops of truth fall from your eyes --- Instrumental --- Hollow lies, make a thin disguise As little drops of truth fall from your eyes Inside a memory from the past Lives every love that didn't last Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast Inside a memory from the past It's a real sad place to hang around Inside the pocket of a clown... |

Home for sale that's much too large
Too many rooms, big ole empty yard Far more space than the owner needs Price includes all memories Home for sale, restored like new Just a place two lives outgrew A change in heart forces move away Would like to keep but just can't stay Listen close and you might hear the sound Of what you think is rainfall leaking down Roof is fine, set aside your fears It's just a few remaining tears Home for sale not all that old Family's dream stands dark and cold Scenic views that go for free Of all the love that used to be Home for sale that's much too large |

I couldn't change your heart
I couldn't change your mind So I just had to learn to live with This empty life you left behind You didn't try to hear You didn't try to see You just stared right through the teardrops Like there was nothing left of me Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain Nothing but memories that whisper your name Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear Nothing but silence is heard around here Bridges were burned Lessons were learned Promises made that were broken Tender lies softly spoken Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain Nothing but memories that whisper your name Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear Nothing but silence is heard around here |

Chorus:
Don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone Don't feel bad or be disappointed 'Cause you got what you want all along Wasn't it you who said a Blinded fool could see the Clear plain truth about how Deeply cruel it is to Live a lie here with each other And mourn a love that won't recover As I recall those were the very words I heard you use Chorus Wasn't it me who asked so Stupidly if there were Things that I could maybe Do or try to somehow Hold what fell apart together But you just coldly told me never To even entertain the thought that our love would survive Chorus |

These arms that hang here by my side
These arms that ache to open wide Useless arms with nothing left to do Since these arms stopped holding you These arms are worthless now to me They let you go, so how good could they be Just foolish arms for which I have no need A pair of arms that grew weak and set love free Reaching out to embrace A vacant memory Finding just the empty space Around what's left of me Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply Keep paying love's costs With each tragic sway Trying meekly to assist My struggle with the truth Unable to resist What tears still make us view Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply Keep paying love's costs With each tragic sway These arms that hang here by my side These arms that ache to open wide Useless arms with nothing left to do Since these arms stopped holding you Since these arms stopped holding you |

I used to think love was
The soft rope meant to tie me down And all that could ever own me Was a guitar and another town Ten years can disappear real fast When every morning just leaves somewhere else behind But I've been thinking about leaving Long enough to change my mind Lyin' here beside you I can feel it start to pull me away The thought I'll have again tomorrow That just came back from yesterday But your embrace makes any reason For those memories hard to find And I've been thinking about leaving Long enough to change my mind Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights Sometimes I miss the crowds Sometimes I miss the women I wrapped each song around Sometimes I miss that world out there So empty, hard and unkind But I've been thinking about leaving Long enough to change my mind Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights Sometimes I miss the noise Sometimes I miss the fading sounds Of every cheering voice Sometimes I miss that world out there So empty, hard and unkind But I've been thinking about leaving Long enough to change my mind |

Two doors down there's a jukebox
That plays all night long Real sad songs All about me and you Two doors down there's a barmaid That serves 'em real strong Here lately That's how I make it through Two doors down there's a heartache That once was my friend Two doors down there's a memory That won't ever end Two doors down there's a barstool That knows me by name And we sit here together And wait for you Two doors down there's a bottle Where I take out my shame And hold it up For the whole world to view Two doors down there's a pay phone But no calls come in Two doors down there's a memory That won't ever end From the hotel to the barroom Is just a stumble and a fall And sometimes when it gets bad I've been known to crawl Freedom from sorrow Is just two doors away I'll escape for a short time But I know I can't stay Two doors down is where they'll find me When you're finally through Taking what's left of my life Two doors down is where they'll leave me When payment comes due For the hours I've spent there each night Two doors down I'll be forgotten But until then Two doors down there's a memory That won't ever end |

Then gently lead you to know, truth hopes lies will never show That love only pauses for a while and is always free to go Honey I learned not to seek any promise hearts must keep After mine had come to know, disappointedly so That love only pauses for a while and is always free to go At every fading glance I reach to take it in my hands As if that touch might be the one last chance And though all those distant dreams seldom turn out what they seem In the rush to let them grow, their loss had taught me to know That love only pauses for a while and is always free to go At every fading glance I reach to take it in my hands As if that touch might be the one last chance Baby now I understand how time can alter any plan Then gently lead you to know, truth hopes lies will never show That love only pauses for a while and is always free to go Yeah love only pauses for a while and is always free to go |

They say this drinkin' will kill me I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true If I stop I'll just die from your leavin' So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you Chorus: Death can come from this broken heart Or it can come from this bottle So why prolong the agony Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle I don't care how the preacher might preach me About the evils of being drunk with wine I don't care how the doctor might warn me 'Cause since you left, it's just a matter of time Chorus: Death can come from this broken heart Or it can come from this bottle So why prolong the agony Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle I don't care that my friends have all left me 'Cause they swear that I have gone insane And I don't care anymore about livin' Without you, just the grave can ease the pain Chorus: Death can come from this broken heart Or it can come from this bottle So why prolong the agony Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle Yeah, they say this drinkin' will kill me I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true If I stop I'll just die from your leavin' So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you Yeah, either way that I go, it's 'cause of you Oh, anyway that I go, it's 'cause of you |

> Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me Today I had another bout with sorrow You know this time I almost won If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow I know that I'd have sorrow on the run Chorus: It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me Your memory comes back up with each sunrise I reach out for the bottle and find it's gone Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me To face this cold, cold world on my own Chorus: It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me |

I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets Then i turn and kick the boots off my feet I pull you close without a word 'cause there's no need to speak Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat Chorus: But i'll be gone in the morning, in the morning i'll be gone 'cause i'm not one for hanging on Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase The memory of any other's face And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace And lose all track of time without a trace Chorus: But i'll be gone in the morning, in the morning i'll be gone 'cause i'm not one for hanging on Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts As i turn to leave i know you had what so many lack Maybe some day that'll bring me back Chorus: But i'll be gone in the morning, in the morning i'll be gone 'cause i'm not one for hanging on Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone But i'll be gone in the morning, in the morning i'll be gone 'cause i'm not one for hanging on Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone In the morning when you wake and find me gone |

It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones The six children he raised are all weepin' For this soft-spoken mountain man Who fed them with the money he earned in those black mines And the food he could raise with his hands Chorus Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom Or the honest and simple things he did There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today That know about the humble way he lived Chorus Now this house in the holler stands empty Though his presence in my memory is plain You know that I'd swear that I just saw him walkin' up that hill I guess this place just won't never be the same Chorus |

I woke up this morning, the room felt empty and bare
As i turned to the closet, your clothes were not there. As i walked into the kitchen, i found our little girl with a note as i read it to myself, the tears began to flow. And she said.. Please daddy don't cry that way I know mommy left us, but that's o.k. Please daddy don't cry so hard, you don't know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop Please daddy don't cry that way 'cause I'm right here beside you and i promise that I'll stay I looked down at her, through tear stained eyes It's as though you were there, in a tiny disguise She clutches her pajamas with that soft little hand See all this that is happening, she can't quite understand and she says... Please daddy don't cry that way I know mommy left us, but that's o.k. Please daddy don't cry so hard, you don't know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop Please daddy don't cry that way 'cause I'm right here beside you and i promise that I'll stay I'm searching my heart, and trying to explain But the words that come out are swollen with pain she looks through my eyes right down to my soul sees all the hurt that i can't control and she says Please daddy don't cry that way I know mommy left us, but that's o.k. Please daddy don't cry so hard, you don't know how it scares me and i wish that you would stop Please daddy don't cry that way 'cause I'm right here beside you and i promise that I'll stay Please daddy don't cry that way, I'm right here beside you and I promise that I'll stay |

I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died He said way down yonder in the land of cotton Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are On this damned old L.A. street Then he drew a dying breath And laid his head against my chest Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie Chorus He said listen to me son while you still can Run back home to that Southern land Don't you see what life here has done to me? Then he closed those old blue eyes And fell limp against my side No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie Chorus: I sang Dixie as he died The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died I sang Dixie as he died |

Bury me along the big sandy
Down in those blue gray mountains Rest my soul in those hills of coal Until this old earth doesn't tremble And don't you mourn for me when my soul is free No woman, don't you cry You just bury me along the big sandy Under a blue Kentucky sky This old town of sin, it's about to do me in I don't know how much I can stand With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand So bury me along the big sandy Down in those blue gray mountains Rest my soul in those hills of coal Until this old earth doesn't tremble Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free No woman, don't you cry You just bury me along the big sandy Under a blue Kentucky sky When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand Oh but now I've somehow gone astray Yet I still see the truth in the teachings of my youth And I know that the Lord ain't turned away So bury me along the big sandy Down in those blue gray mountains Rest my soul in those hills of coal Until this old earth doesn't tremble Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free No woman, don't you cry You just bury me along the big sandy Under a blue Kentucky sky Under a blue Kentucky sky Under a blue Kentucky sky |

Dwight Yoakam & Kelly Willis
(Kelly) Take me, take me to your darkest room Close every window and bolt every door The very first moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more. (Dwight) Take me to your most barren desert A thousand miles from the nearest sea The very, very moment I saw your smile It'll be just like heaven to me. B: There's not any mountain to rugged to climb D; No desert too barren to cross B: Darlin', if you would just show a sign D: Of love, I could bear with all loss. Take me to Siberia The coldest weather of the winter time It would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine. (Both) It would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Take me, take me... |

This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in If you've got some money to burn Take it home right away You've got three years to pay And Satan is waiting his turn The scientists say it'll all wash away But we don't believe anymore 'Cause we've got our recruits In their green mohair suits So please show your I.D. at the door [Chorus] This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain A fool came around tried to clean up this town His ideas made some people mad But he trusted in his crowd So he spoke right out loud And they lost the best friend they ever had [Chorus] On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain |

Truckin' - got my chips cashed in
Keep Truckin' - like the doodah man Together - more or less in line Just keep truckin' on Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street Chicago, New York, Detroit, it's all the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings Dallas - got a soft machine Houston - too close to New Orleans New York - got the ways and means But just won't let you be Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home One of these days they know they gotta get goin' Out of the door and down to the street all alone Truckin' - like the doodah man Once told me you got to play your hand Sometimes - the cards ain't worth a damn If you don't lay 'em down Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been Hey, what in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same Living on reds, vitamin see and cocaine All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame" Truckin' - up to Buffalo Been thinkin' - you got to mellow slow Take time - you pick a place to go And just keep truckin' on Sitting and staring out of a hotel window Got a tip they're kicking the door in again I'd like to get some sleep before I travel But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in Busted - down on Bourbon Street Set up - like a bowling pin Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin They just won't let you be You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel Get tired of traveling, you'd like to settle down I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying Get out of the door - light out and look all around Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been Truckin' - I'm a goin' home Whoa - oh, baby, back where I belong Back home - sit down and patch my bones And get back truckin' on |

Heartache Number One was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way Heartache Number Two was when you came back again You came back and never meant to stay [Chorus] Now I've got heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Now I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Heartache Number Three was when you called me And told me you was coming to stay With hoping heart I waited for your knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way [Chorus] Now I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Ah the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end |
