Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
I think you only live to see the lights of town. I wasted my time when I would try, try, try. When the lights have lost their glow, you're gonna cry, cry, cry. I lie awake at night and wait 'til you come in. You stay a little while and then you're gone again. Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie. For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone, When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own. You're gonna cry, cry, cry. Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone. You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone. You'll call to me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye," When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry, When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you. You'll come back to me for a little love that's true. I'll tell you no and you gonna ask me why, why, why? When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone, When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own. You're gonna cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me there, It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been. You're gonna cry, cry, cry. |

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said: Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, though it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high, and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries over my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me |

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 |

In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around. And all the girls from there to Austin, Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock. To take the trip, to go and listen, To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play: (Instrumental.) Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime. But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time. And all the girls from nine to ninety, Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop." And hypnotized and fascinated, By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play: (Instrumental.) Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round, He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town. But all the girls still dreamed about him. And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked. And then one day on the Hit Parade, Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play: (Instrumental.) |

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! |

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone I go out on a party And look for a little fun But I find a darkened corner because I still miss someone No, I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry For leavin' what we'd begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone. |

There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name
It's callin' callin' callin', 'Come and get aboard the train.' My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles With my guitar, beat and rythm, to the click-clack of the wheels I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Conductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal--- It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train |

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns." But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.. I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me... Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away... |

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 |

A child arrived the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch and bills to pay, He learned to walk while I was away, And he was talking 'fore I knew it. And as he grew he'd say, "I'm gonna be like you dad, You know I'm gonna be like you." Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home dad? "I don't know when, But we'll get together then, You know we'll have a good time then." My son turned ten just the other day, He said, "Thanks for the ball come on let's play, Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today, I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." He walked away but his smile never dimmed, He said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him." Chorus Well he came from college just the other day, So much like a man I just had to say, "Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while." He shook his head and then he said with a smile, "What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys, See you later can I have them please." 2nd Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home son? "I don't know when, But we'll have a good time then dad, You know we'll have a good time then." I've long since retired my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day, I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind." He said, "I'd love to dad if I could find the time, You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, But it's sure nice talking to you dad, It's been sure nice talking to you." Bridge: And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me. |

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a fiery ring bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire... I fell in to a burning ring of fire I went down,down,down and the flames went higher. And it burns,burns,burns t he ring of fire the ring of fire. The taste of love is sweet when hearts like our´s meet I fell for you like a child oh, but the fire went wild.. I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....etc |
