I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do I know there was your all the while And it's been worth every mile Chorus: So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin of this world away Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat And don't ever wander away Mornings and evenings all were the same And there was no music till I heard your name But I knew when I saw you smile Now I can rest for awhile Chorus: So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin of this world away Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat And don't ever wander away And don't ever wander away....... |

Till the rivers all run dry till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you I know sometimes you may wonder from little things I say and do But there's no need for you to wonder if I need you cause I'll need you Till the rivers all run dry... [ guitar - piano ] Too many times I don't tell you too many things get in the way And even though sometimes I hurt you still you show me in every way Till the rivers all run dry... |

Ghost Story
Don Williams (Joe Allen) I've seen how you tremble Whenever he walks through your mind Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes Where the light of our love ought to shine I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad He must have been going insane Now I've finally learned how to hold you together When somebody mentions his name He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you, I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams I know that he's called you And told you that our love can't last But don't you believe him, 'cause honey he's wrong He's never been right in the past So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies He just can't admit that you're free And the next time he calls you just hand me the phone And see if he says it to me He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams... |

When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head Then daddy came in to kiss his little man With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand He talked about honor and things I should know Then he staggered a little as he went out the door I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Hank and Tennessee I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be So what do you do with good ole boys like me Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was The smell of Cape Jasmine through the window screen John R and the wolfman kept me company By the light of the radio by my bed with Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head I can still hear the soft southern winds... When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street And I watched him burn himself up on Bourbon and speed But I was smarter than most and I could choose Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news When I was eighteen Lord I hit the road but it really dodn't matter how far I go I can still hear the soft southern winds... Yeah what do you do with good ole boys like me |

Likely as not, there's been better weather
I feel real sure, there's been better times Right here tonight with you all around me I'm so glad right now is mine. Honey, tonight make it alright Turn on your smile for me, for awhile Take me away from where I have been I know you love me, but love me over again. You have the way to fill my emotions Till there's not a word left in my mind Times get so hard, so confusing You make now a so much better time. So honey tonight, make it alright Turn on your smile, for me for awhile Take me away from where I have been I know you love me but love me over again. Yeah, honey tonight, make it alright Turn on your smile, for me for awhile Take me away, from where I have been I know you love me, but love me over again... |

I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried It's an awful awakenin' In a country boy's life To look in the mirror In total surprise At the hair on your shoulders And the age in your eyes. (Chorus) Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife. Well the measure of people Don't understand The pleasures of life In a hillbilly band I got my first guitar When I was fourteen Now I'm crowding thirty And still wearin' jeans. (Chorus) |

I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind I was goin' to Arizona Maybe on to California Where the people all live so fine. My baby said, I'z crazy My mama called me lazy I was gonna show 'em all this time 'Cause you know I ain't no fool And I don't need no more schoolin' I was born to just walk the line. Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Well, you'll know I been through it When I set my watch back to it Livin' on Tulsa Time. Well, there I was in Hollywood Wishin' I was doin' good Talkin' on the telephone line But they don't need me in the movies And nobody sings my songs Guess, I'm just a wastin' time. Well, then I got to thinkin' Man I'm really sinkin' An I really had a flash this time I had no business leavin' An nobody would be grievin' If I just went on back to Tulsa time. Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I been through it Livin' on Tulsa time. Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I been through Livin' on Tulsa time. |

She's In Love With A Rodeo Man
Don Williams (Bob McDill) She's a barmaid in a west Texas dance hall She's there ev'ry night till they close And the cowboy's pay for the jukebox And she plays 'San Antonio Rose' Well I know her life ain't been easy And the lines in her face say it all But she still is a beautiful woman In the lights of the Texas dance hall CHORUS: But she won't sit down at your table And I know that you can't hold her hand She won't go home with you cowboy She's in love with a rodeo man Well he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayin' And he's stoned most all of the time And he drinks at a dark corner table And he waits there until closin' time |

I don't believe in superstars organic food and foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold the certainty of growing old That right is right and left is wrong that north and south can't get along That east is east and west is west and being first is always best But I believe in love I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad and I believe in you I don't believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate I like to think of God as love he's down below he's up above He's watchin' people everywhere he knows who does and doesn't care And I'm an ordinary man sometimes I wonder who I am But I believe in love I believe in music I believe in magic and I believe in you Well I know with all my certainty what's going on with you and me is a good thing It's true I believe in you Well I don't believe virginity is as common as it used to be In working days and sleeping nights that black is black and white is white That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood That gasoline's in short supply the rising cost of gettin' by But I believe in love I believe in old folks I believe in children and I believe in you [ guitar ] |

Everyday of my life until forever
Is spoken for when you looked at me. Now that you're gone my life goes on But all of the heart is out of me. Chorus: And I've got time on my hands, you on my mind. No where to send all my love And I'll be here waiting if you ever change your plans 'Cause you own this time on my hand. Each mornin' I see the future before me Empty and as endless as the sky I should be here to build life again But I just can't find the reason why. Chorus: While, I've got time on my hands, you on my mind. No where to send all my love, I'll be here waiting if you ever change your plans. 'Cause you own the time on my hand... |

Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest, First thing every morning that I do, Is start missing you Some broken hearts never mend, Some memories never end, Some tears will never dry, My love for you will never die Rendezvous in the night, A willing woman to hold me tight, But in the middle of love's embrace, I see your face Some broken hearts never mend, Some memories never end, Some tears will never dry, My love for you will never die |

Silver coins that jingle jangle,
Fancy shoes that dance in time Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes, They did sing a gypsy rhyme Yellow clover in tangled blossoms In a meadow silky green Where she held me to her bosom, Just a boy of seventeen I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows And stir the darkness in my mind Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me Little know who haunts my mind Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter And it dances in my head While my tender wife and babies Slumber softly in their beds I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine... |
