I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads Searching in the sun for another overload I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line |

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing I still see her dark eyes glowing She was 21 When I left Galveston Galveston, oh Galveston I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun And dream of Galveston I still see her standing by the water Standing there looking out to sea And is she waiting there for me? On the beach where we used to run Galveston, oh Galveston I am so afraid of dying Before I dry the tears she's crying Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun At Galveston, at Galveston |

- By The Time I Get To Phoenix -
By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' On her door She'll laugh when she reads the part That says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl So many times before By the time I make Albuquerque She'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch And give me a call But she'll just hear that phone Keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all By the time I make Oklahoma She'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go |

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and say you're goin' the wrong way You've got to try a little kindness yes show a little kindness Yes shine your light for everyone to see And if you'll try a little kindness and you'll overlook the blindness Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets Don't walk around the down and out lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day will help someone along their way You've got to try a little kindness... You've got to try a little kindness... |

Written by Jimmy Webb - 1969
The end has come and found us here With our toys scattered all around us here The puzzle that we never found an answer for Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for And here we stand in a box of sand Where's the playground Susie? You're the one who's supposed to know her way around Where's the playground Susie If I don't stay around? If I don't stay around? The carousel has stopped us here It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here And still you're not content with something about me But what merry-go-round can you ride without me To take your hand ? How would you stand? Where's the playground Susie If I decide to let you go and play around? Where's the playground Susie If I don't stay around? If I don't stay around? Where's the playground Susie? You're the one who's supposed to know her way around Where's the playground Susie If I decide to let you go and play around? |

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that are dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads By the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said Because they thought we fit together walking It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the backroads By the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned and I was gone I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' Cracklin' caldron in some train yard My beard a rustling, cold towel, and A dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're waiting from the backroads By the rivers of my memories Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind |

(Your cheatin' heart will make you weep)
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry you'll try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name And you'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will pine someday and you'll crave the love you threw away The time will come when you'll be blue your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down... |

Well honey I know I've said it many times before I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all since you're supposed to belong to him But I just can't let you go but I'm tellin' you just how much I love you So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like Honey come back where you belong to only me Well I guess that's about all I gotta say So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk I know those bright lights're callin' you honey big fine cars and fancy clothes But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say Honey come back... Honey come back where you belong to only me Honey come back where you belong to only me |

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustle's the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain There's been a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Like a rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone Well, I really don't mind the rain And a smile can hide all the pain But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe There'll be a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Rhinestone cowboy Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo FADE Like a rhinestone cowboy Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know |

Southern nights
Have you ever felt a Southern night Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees Whistling tunes that you know and love so Southern nights Just as good even when you close your eyes I apologize to anyone who can truly say That he has found a better way Southern skies Have you ever noticed Southern skies It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye It goes running through your soul Like the stories of old Old man, he and his dog They walk the old land Every flower touched his cold hand As he slowly walked by Weeping willows would cry for joy, joy Feel so good, feel so good, it's frightening Wish I could stop this world from fighting La da da da da........ Mysteries like this and Many others in the trees Blow in the night in the Southern skies Southern nights They feel so good, it's frightening Wish I could stop this world from fighting La da da da da........ |

Living in the city
Ain't never been my idea Of getting it on But the job demands That you make new plans Before your big chance is gone You get a house in the hills You're paying everyones bills And they tell you that You're gonna go far But in the back of my mind I hear it time after time Is that who you really are Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home Talking on the telephone Setting up another day Of people to meet You've gotta do what's right You've gotta spend the night Staying in touch with the street When you're surrounded by friends They say the fun never ends But I guess I'll never figure it out Cause in the back of my mind I hear it time after time Is this what its all about Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home |

When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough and friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl sail on by your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing out behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind ease your mind |

Take the ribbons from your hair shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong now I won't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight I don't want to be alone help me make it through the night [ ac.guitar ] Lord it's sad to be alone please help me make it through the night No I don't want to be alone please help me make it through the night |

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way To believe that its all true Knowing that you lied straight faced While I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way And I'd leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight faced While I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you Makes it hard to live without Somebody else Someone like you Makes it easy to give Never thinkin' of myself If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way To believe that its all true Knowing that you lied straight faced While I cried Still I looked to find a reason to belie-ie-ieve In you... |

Looking back on the days
When I was scuffling for a buck Not overly concerned with life and love I was always feeling sorry For myself and my bad luck I never stopped to think what life's made of With my nose to the grindstone And my collar to the wheel I fought for my daily dollar like a man Then you came into my life And nothing else seemed real I found the answer right here in my hands Now I've got everything a man could ever need I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing In the morning I've got hands to hold my baby-child And eyes to watch my woman smile I've got everything a man could ever need Now my working days seem shorter Than they ever did before And the evening breeze gets cooler day by day And the morning sun is always shining Down on my backdoor And your laughter washes all my tears away And there's not a day goes by When I don't look up to the sky And humbly thank the good Lord up above For bringing you to me in time To make me realize That all a poor man really needs is love Now I've got everything a man could ever need I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing In the morning I've got hands to hold my baby-child And eyes to watch my woman smile I've got everything a man could ever need I've got everything a man could ever need |
