(Lainie Marsh)
I hear the clock a tickin' See the sweat upon my brow I know my destination Nothing's gonna stop me now. I'm running on desire, baby I got nerves of steel Coming down to the wire Lord above me guide the wheel. Keep me in your prayers tonight I'll be weary opon that road I know the finish line's in sight But I still have ways to go. There's a junkyard dog a barkin' In the valley down below He's wantin' me to stop And gather up a heavy load. Ain't gonna heed his call Ain't giving him the time of day You mangy mutt once and for all I said I threw that stuff away. Keep me in your prayers tonight I'll be weary opon that road I know the finish line's in sight But I still have ways to go. I won't have a bit of trouble Heading down the straight and true I fly solo on the double Into the yonder blue. I might need some intervention Out upon the icy turn In a foggy situation Squeallin' on a hairpin curve. I'm running on desire, baby I got nerves of steel Coming down to the wire Lord above me guide the wheel. Keep me in your prayers tonight I'll be weary opon that road I know the finish line's in sight But I still have ways to go. Got a ways to go. Got a ways to go. Got a ways to go... |

(Kieran Kane - Emmylou Harris)
I see the light, I see the light at the end of the tunnel I see the light and it's burning bright I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to And the light darlin', is you. In the lonely heart of darkness I have stumbled and I have strayed Always searchin' but never finding a ray of sunlight to guide my way. I see the light, I see the light at the end of the tunnel I see the light and it's burning bright I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to And the light darlin', is you. I have traveled down this highway of hope Abandoned and broken dreams An unbeliever my faith was shaken By all the sorrow I had seen. But I see the light, I see the light at the end of the tunnel I see the light and it's burning bright I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to And the light darlin', is you. And the light darlin', is you... |

(Tony Joe White)
I've been running low on inspiration Tired of the physical intrugue There's nothing left to imagination Living in a world that treats love so carelessly Don't want no smooth talkin' lover I can't play the role, it just leaves me cold I need a high powered love I wanna feel that lightning streak High powered love got to be Down in the heart with me. Sometimes it's hard to keep believing Yeah, too many pretty faces all skin deep Now is there anyone left With teeth just a little uneven And won't spend more time With a mirror than he does with me If you're just looking for a good time A notch on your gun, well, I ain't the one. I want a high powered love, Got to have intensity High powered love don't start the fire If you can't take the heat I can't turn back on a mission I know there's someone out there for me. I need a high powered love One that'll defy gravity High powered love got to be strong And keep on lifting me. I need a high powered love I wanna feel that lightning streak High powered love got to be Down in the heart with me. In the heart with me... |

(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)
You give your hand to me and then you say hello And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so And anyone can tell you think you know me well But you don't know me. No, you don't know the one who dreams of you at night And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight Oh, I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been 'Cause you don't know me. For I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy let my chance go by The chance that you might have loved me too. --- Instrumental --- No, I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy let my chance go by The chance that you might have loved me too. You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye I watch you walk away and in my heart I cry You'll never, never know the one who loves you so 'Cause you don't know me... |

(Emmylou Harris)
There's a valley of sorrow in my soul Where every night I hear the thunder roll Like the sound of a distant gun Over all the damage I have done. And the shadows filling up this land Are the ones I built with my own hand There is no comfort from the cold Of this valley of sorrow in my soul. There's a river of darkness in my blood And through every vein I feel the flood I can find no bridge for me to cross No way to bring back what is lost. Into the night it soon will sweep Down where all my grievances I keep But it won't wash away the years Or one single hard and bitter tear. And the rock of ages I have known Is a weariness down in the bone I used to ride it like a rolling stone Now I just carry it alone. There's a highway risin' from my dreams Deep in the heart I know it gleams For I have seen it stretching wide Clear across to the other side. Beyond the river and the flood And the valley where for so long I've stood With the rock of ages in my bones Someday I know it will lead me home. oh, oh, oh... |

(Lucinda Williams)
Everybody's had a few now They talkin' about who know who I'm goin' back to the Crescent City Where everything's still the same. This town has said what it has to say Now I'm after that back highway And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Ponchartrain. Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say We used to dance the night away Me and my sister, me and my brother We used to walk down by the river. Mama lives in Mandeville I can hardly wait until I can hear my Zydeco And laissez le bons temps roulez. Take rides in open cars My brother knows where the best bars are Let's see how these blues'll do In the town where the good times stay. Tu le ton son ton, that's what we'd say We used to dance the night away Me and my sister, me and my brother We used to walk down by the river. --- Instrumental --- Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say We used to dance the night away Me and my sister, me and my brother We used to walk down by the river... |

(Roger Ferris)
You call me from a phone booth with tears in your voice Tell me you've been out all night runnin' with the boys You say you're cold and tired and lonely and you got no place to go There wasn't any phone book mine's the only number that you know. Well, call yourself a taxi and I'll pay him at the door If you don't mind sleepin' on the sofa or on the floor And I spend an hour hatin' you till the cab pulls in My heart has found another way to be lovin' you again. And every time is the last time And every time is the first Every time is the last time with you Oh, it never gets no better and it couldn't get no worse. Then I hear footsteps the driver's at the door He says I look familiar has he made this run before And I tell him I don't think so what's it matter anyway Just tell me what the meter reads and I'll go and get your pay. Well, now it's down to you and me and though it don't seem right We both know where we'll be and what we'll do tonight And after an hour or two when the night comes to an end My heart has found another way to be lovin' you again. And every time is the last time And every time is the first Every time is the last time with you Oh, it never gets no better and it couldn't get no worse. I know that there should be more to say I'll just read your mind Let's save what's left unsaid for another time so until then My heart has found another way to be lovin' you again My heart has found another way to be lovin' you again. Oh, my heart has found another way to be lovin' you again... |

Man you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale I could make it spin I could tell you black was white I could tell you day was night. Not only that I could tell you why Back then I could really tell a lie Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame Then I'd touch him and I make him walk again. Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick I was takin' everything they had to give It wasn't all that bad a way to live. Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell But no one's buyin' what I got to sell I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk. I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day But everyone just turns and walks away Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time So I head across the road to drink some wine. This old man comes up to me he says I seen you on the street You're pretty good if I do say so myself But the guy comes through here last month He was somethin' else. Instead of callin' out for fire from above He just gets real quiet and talks about love And I'll tell you somethin' funny He didn't want nobody's money. Now I'm not exactly sure What this all means But it's the damnest thing I swear I've ever seen. Well, since that time every town is the same I can't make a dime I don't know why I came I decide I'll go and find him And find out who's behind him. He has everyone convinced that he's for real Well, I figure we can work us out a deal So he offers me a job and I say fine He says I'll get paid off on down the line. Well, I guess I'll string along Don't see how too much can go wrong As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow... |

Well, goodness is it really real It'd take a baby child to know the way I feel Oh, my flutter to the blue I would take the credit but it's thanks to you. Oh yeah, I'm a sinner And I ain't some beginner I'll uncork a pint of trouble Sit down and drink a double. I'm thirsty for something lighter That'll get me even tighter And tighter until one day I think I hear angels play. Goodness is it really real It'd take a baby child to know the way I feel Oh, my flutter to the blue I would take the credit but it's thanks to you. --- Instrumental --- Now someday up in glory Well, I'll weep and tell the story To someone who will smile And say you're a mess but you're my child.

(Tony Arata)
I hear a call now will I answer Forsake my all to serve another Though darkness falls stay a believer I hear a call now will I answer? I see a light now will I follow Fill up this life that grows more hollow Make joy reside where there lives sorrow I see a light now will I follow? I hear a call From out of nowhere And from everywhere I go I hear a call now will I answer? --- Instrumental --- I feel a touch now will I hold on Be there with love for those with no one With a kindness such it lives though I'm gone I feel a touch now will I hold on? I hear a call from out of nowhere And from everywhere I go I see a light now will I follow I feel a touch now will I hold on? I hear a call now will I answer? |
