I wish a buck was still silver and it was back when the country was strong. Back before Elvis and before the Vietnam war came along. Before the Beatles and yesterday when a man could still work and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us now and are the good times really over for good ? Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell? With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell? I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last ten years like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us now and are the good times really over for good? I wish Coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be. It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV. Before Microwave ovens when a girl could still cook, and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us now and are the good times really over for good ? Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell? With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell? I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last ten years like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us now and are the good times really over for good? Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell. Standup for the flag, and let's all ring the liberty bell. Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should... The best of the free life is still yet to come and the good times ain't really |

I've been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder I've spent most all my life Looking for that four-leafed clover But you ran with me, Chasing all my rainbows Honey I love you, too And that's the way love goes. That's the way love goes, babe That's the music God made For all the world to sing It never gets old; it grows Losing makes me sorry You say, |

L.A. traffic is bad this time of year
But there's a friend of yours in California Sure wishes you were here And as you lay your head on your pillow tonight just remember There's a friend of yours in California sure misses you You've got a friend in California that misses you You've got a friend in California that sure misses you Fort Worth can get cold this time of year But this southern California sun is warm You should be here And as you lay your head on your pillow tonight just remember There's a friend of yours in California sure misses you You've got a friend in California that misses you You've got a friend in California that sure misses you You've got a friend in California that misses you You've got a friend in California that sure misses you |

Rollin with the flow Going where the lonely go Anywhere the lights are low Going where the lonely go Making up things to do Not running in all directions Trying to find you I'm rollin with the flow Going where the lonely go I've got to keep rollin I can't lay down Sleep won't hardly come When theres loneliness all around I've got to keep goin Travling down this lonesome road I'm rollin with the flow Goin where the lonely go |

C.C.Waterback, one tequila sunrise
One's for my achin' head, the other's for my bloodshot eyes And last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more Last night we got invited to a party at the Jones' place For fun and games and booze and things I guess, I must've drank a case But that lady of mine, she drank warm red wine 'Til she couldn't even find the door She wound up in ol' Jones' bed And I wound up on the floor, hang, I give you C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise One's for my achin' head the other's for my bloodshot eyes Last night we let it all hang out, I guess that's how our heads got sore C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more And I said, C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise One's for my achin' head the other's for my bloodshot eyes Last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore I said, C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more |

This song is for you, you know who you are
I won't embarrass you for callin' out your name You're here every night, several night of drinks Wearin' your superficial smile You still wear the wedding band and you left hard work in hand For a memory of a man who's chain and bound Lord knows you need a man and an understandin' hand Before you run completely out of love You can't stay in love with a memory You can't stay in love with a dream Yet you've fallen in love with the picture on the wall The sad part is that the picture is not of me That cold December day, they took her man away Never dreamin' of a gentle heart they've grown Now she waits by the phone, she waits there all alone But the only one who ever calls is me Now I'm a prisoner of a slave to one way love And I'd wish they let him go so I'd be free Break this chains that bind and release this heart of mine Before I run completely out of love You can't stay in love with memory You can't fall in love with a dream Yet you've fallen in love with the picture on the wall The sad part is that the picture is not of me |

We met downtown in the barroom
Both of us needing a friend And you brought me home to your doorstep It was there you invited me in We spent the wee hours dancing To your favorite home stereo sounds We talked about what we been needin' Discussin' our ups and our downs And I've had a beautiful time Holding your heart next to mine I poured out the feelings while you poured the wine And I've had a beautiful time If I seem a wee bit uneasy You really sized me up right There's somebody home still up waiting She probably been waiting up all night I can't say I found any answers But you listen while I ride alone And you little beautiful lady And you kept me from being alone And I've had a beautiful time Holding your body next to mine I poured out the feelings while you poured the wine And I've had a beautiful time I've had a beautiful time Holding your heart next to mine We poured out the feelings and then we poured the wine And I've had a beautiful time You poured out the feelings while we poured the wine And I've had a beautiful time |

Someday when things are good, I'm gonna leave you.
I can't seem to go when things are bad. I'll be one more love that you can dream about, And one more man that you can say you've had. You'll always be the kind to dream of yesterday. And a way of life I never understood. And someday soon I'll be just one more memory. And you'll call my name when things are not so good. Someday when things are good, I'm gonna leave you. I can't seem to go when things are bad. I'll be one more love that you can dream about, And one more man that you can say you've had. |

I'll never swim Kern River again
It was there that I met her It was there that I lost my best friend And now I live in the mountains I drifted up here with the wind And I may drown in still water But I'll never swim Kern River again I grew up in an oil town But my gusher never came in And the river was a boundary Where my darlin' and I use to swim One night in the moonlight The swiftness swept her live away And now I live on Lake Shasta and Lake Shasta is where I will stay There's the South San Joaquin Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found And there's a place called Mount Whitney From where the mighty Kern River comes down Well, it's not deep nor wide But it's a mean piece of water my friend And I may cross on the highway But I'll never swim Kern River again I'll never swim Kern River again It was there I first met her It was there that I lost my best friend And now I live in the mountains I drifted up here with the wind And I may drown in still water But I'll never swim Kern River again I'll never swim Kern River again It was there I first met her It was there that I lost my best friend And now I live in the mountains I drifted up here with the wind And I may cross on the highway But I'll never swim Kern River again |
