There he goes gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end Lovin' him was a one way street But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town Time for me to lay my heartaches down Saturday night gonna make myself a name Take a month of sundays to try and explain It's gonna be easy to fill The heart of a thirsty woman Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky It's gonna be easy; It's gonna be easy from now on Raw as whip but clean as a bone Soft to touch when you take me home When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave Don't worry 'bout me; I got a wils cart up my sleeve It's gonna be easy to fill The heart of a thirsty woman Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky It's gonna be easy, It's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy from now on |

Two More Bottles Of Wine
We came out west together with a common desire The fever we had migtha set the west coast on fire Two months later got trouble in mind My baby moved out and left me behind But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine The way he left sure turned my head around Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down Ain't gonna let it bother me today I been workin' and I'm too tired anyway But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow Lord I'd be in the sun all day But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in west L.A. But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine |

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
If she did she never did say so to daddy She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife If she did she never did say so to daddy The only thing that seemed to be important to her life Was to make our house a home and make us happy Mama never wanted any more than what she had If she did she never did say so to daddy He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home If she did she never did say so to daddy And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her If she did she never did say so to daddy Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted And she didn't need those things to make her happy And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her If she did she never did say so to daddy One morning we awoke just to find a note That mama carfully wrote and left to daddy And as we began to read it Our ears could not believe it The words that she had written there to daddy She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much And I've gon in search of love I need so badly I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on She never meant to come back home If she did she never did say so to daddy Goodbye to daddy |

Songbird in a golden cage She'd prefer the blue How I crave the liquor of her song Poor bird who has done no harm What harm could she do She shall be my prisoner her life long My songbird wants her freedom Now don't you think I know But I can't find it in myself To let my songbird go I just can't let her go O lord, when your jeweler's eye Peers into my soul O lord, I am overcome with shame Take me lord and purfy Heal me with a word Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim |

Mary took to running with a travelin' man Left her momma crying with her head in her hands Such a sad case, so broken hearted She say momma, I got to go, I gotta get outta here I gotta get out of town; I'm tirred of hanging around I gotta roll on between the ditches It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and around nobody knows, but the highway Goes on forever, that 'ol highway rolls on forever Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk If she hadn't started running with a travelin man If she hadn't started taking those crazy changes She say daugther, let me tell you 'bout the travelin kind Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time He'll be long gone before you know it, he'll be long Gone before you know it She say never have I known it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight This is down in the swampland, anything goes It's alligator bait and the bars don't close It's the real thing down in Louisiana Did you ever see a cajun when he really got mad When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad It gets real hot down in Louisiana The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will It ain't no time for lengthy speeches There ain't no time for lengthy speeches She say never have I know it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever There ain't no way to stop the water |

I live on a big blue ball I never do dream I may fall But even the day that I do I jump off and smile back at you I don't even know where we are But they tell us we're circling a star Well I'll take their word I don't know But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so I'm riding a big blue ball I never do dream I may fall But even the high may lay row So when I do fall I'll be glad to go |

Cowboys and indians and trees he could climb Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind The distance was short so light it again It don't take no time to get where I am But one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit scarred and a little bit green And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind And he wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin'again Driver was drunk or he just didn't see The future is there it'll happen to me And all the time that he wasted was his once again Ah, it never takes long to get where you've been Broken hearts scattered all over the past Old bad memories trying to last Whiskey and women and growing up fast Fussing and loving and itching like grass Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream No camels no coffe no cold morning winds It was wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin' again |

The green rolling hills of West Virginia Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know Tho the times are sad and drear And I cannot linger here They'll keep me and never let me go My daddy said don't ever be a miner For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own 'Cause the hard times everywhere I can't find a dime to spare These are the worst times I've ever known Si I'll move away into some crowded city In some northern factory town you'll find me here Tho I'll leave the past behind I'll never change my mind These trouble times are more than I can bear But someday I'll go back to west Virginia To the green rolling hills I love so well Yes someday I'll go home And I know I'll right the wrong These trouble times will follow me no more Yes someday I'll go home And I know I'll right the wrong These trouble times will follow me no more |

Keep that candle burnin' bright, mama I'll be kind of late tonight, mama There's a yellow moon above me, mama Shinin' on the one I love, mama Burn that candle Night and day Burn that candle Honey light our way Keep that doorway open wide Until we come slowly strollin' side by side While that candle's shinin' high, mama I'll be with my sugar pie, mama We'll be comin' home you know and mama Lookin' for that candle glowin', mama After we have had the wedding, mama To that candle we'll be headin', mama So before we're winin' and dinin', mama Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama |
