You ain't never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you've been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn.
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn.
You've become a memory I can't live without.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

Embers to ashes, that's how it should be.
You'd think by now my heart would know,
And it could set you free.
The things I've tried, the tears I've cried,
I guess there's no doubt
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

You'll always be a fire I can't put out...

I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn.

You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

You'll always be a fire I can't put out...

I used to like
Making love then
Getting up
And never having to explain
I've always been free
I never could see me
Dragin' no ball and chain
I like running around
And being tied down
Never was my cup of tea
But since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking about future plans
And then I get the feeling that the life that I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

I used to like
To spend the night
Sittin' on an old bar stool
Drinkin' wine and killing time
With all of those other fools
But since you took my hand
I think I understand
It ain't the way it outta be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking about future plans
And then I get the feeling that the life that I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me...

You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows.
Life is a gamble, a game we all play,
But you need to save something for a rainy day.
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

If you're headed down a one way street.
And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go.
In money or love, or all the above,
Have a little more than what you show.
When life deals out a surprise
Have a few surprises of your own.
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You're every young mans dream
Adalida, I'd walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I'd swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, here ya coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You're getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, you're really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what they're thinking
But I'm the only one who loves you so

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You're every young mans dream
Adalida, I'd walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I'd swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
You're making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that you're a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ain't talking bout Etoufee'

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You're every young mans dream
Adalida, I'd walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I'd swim the Ponchartrain

To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Ponchartrain

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee.

Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee...

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
It started the day I lost you.
Nobody ever missed somebody like I do.
Am I blue, am I blue.

Just this morning over coffee
I set to crying 'cause you're gone, long gone.
I didn't know just how much I was gonna miss you,
Till I spent my first night alone.

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
How could I have been such a fool?
Now look at all the misery I'm going through.
Am I blue, am I blue.

Tried to call and say I'm sorry -
I couldn't get you on the line.
You'll never know just how much I'm wishing
You would show up and say you've changed your mind.

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
It started the day I lost you.
Nobody ever missed somebody like I do.
Am I blue, am I blue.

Amarillo by morning
Up from San Antone
Everything that I've got
Is just what I've got on
When that sun is high
In that Texas sky
I'll be buckin' at the county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston
Broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way
But I'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that
Judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo on my mind.

Angel oh my angel, Angelina.
Heaven must be wonderin' where you are.
Mornin' finds me prayin', 'Please let me keep her.'
Each night finds me wishin' on the star.
That always, always Angelina
You'll be stayin' right here in my arms.

Sweetest of the sweet those ruby lips.
No other has that touch, ooh those finger tips.
Bluest of the blue those sparklin' eyes.
Like hand in glove we fit-
You know you're just my size.
You and all your special ways and needs.
Oh I love you Angelina.

Angel oh my angel, Angelina.

Any old time you get lonely,
Nights get cold or love is blue,
Just snuggle up honey;
You're my one and only,
Any old time, I'm here for you.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me,
Drop in a dime and there I'll be.

Any old time you start missin'
Somebody to hold, to keep you company,
I'll be willin' when you want my kissin',
Any old time, just call on me.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me,

He rode up on a winter day
Steam risin' off a streak face bay
Said you probably know my name
If you don't it's Arkansas Dave

He talked of fifteen years ago
And how he got the bay he rode
He said he killed a man in Ohio
First man he killed first horse he stole

It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
He shot and left him where he laid
He said he'd never forget that winter day
He rode off on a streak faced bay

I stood up and I shook his hand
Told no one that I knew this man
Started makin' up a plan
Bout how I'd deal him his last hand
Didn't take him long to come unwound
He jumped up and gunned two men down
Ran outside to leave the town
But ole' bay was nowhere to be found

I head out with my forty four
And when he walked back through the door
I shot till I could shoot no more
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor

It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
I shot and left him where he laid
I'll never forget that winter day
I rode off on a streak faced bay
No I'll never forget that winter day

Lately I've found myself falling
Deeper in love with you
I'm not the kind of guy who gets swept away
So here is what I'm gonna do
I am gonna give you this heart of mine
But that's where I draw the line

I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

I know it may not sound like much
But baby make no mistake
I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness
Than any one woman can take
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
But after that baby I'm through

I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

You've got your limits
I've got mine
I'm only gonna go the distance
Time after time

I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

But that's as far as it goes

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child
A devil when she held me close
An angel when she smiled
She always held it deep inside
But somehow I always knew
She'd go away when the grass turned green
And the sky turned baby blue

Baby Blue was the color of her eyes
Baby Blue like the Colorado skies
Like a breath of spring she came and left
And I still don't know why so
Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight

She brought colors to my life
That my eyes had never touched
And when she taught me how to care
I never cared so much
I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do
And drift off where the grass is green
And the sky is baby blue

Baby Blue was the color of her eyes

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily
She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile
Then she loaded her car and said after a while
She'd done this before, but this time she didnt cry.

That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road
Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know
After she packed when she looked back,
There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried,
Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye.

All the times before' she'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanetd me to hear what she had to say
Now I'm lost for words, saying she went away
She may not return for this time she didn't cry.

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me...

Isn't it like her to look so pretty
Like everything is alright
Like nobody cried all last night
Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin'
Almost a picture perfect day
Like nobody's goin' away

If it were just a little colder
She might need me to hold her

There's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainin' or snowin'
there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye

Isn't it like me to wait til she's leavin'
To know how I feel
I love her and I always will
In a second or a moment, forever can change
So I'm standing here prayin' for rain

If it were just a little colder
She might need me to hold her
Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect
There's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainiin' or snowin'
there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye

wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect
There's not a cloud in the sky

Swingin' doors
Sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey poors
There's a hole in the wall
From some free for all
The ringin' crack of that ol' cue ball

I been fallin' in here
for what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder whats goin' on
Beyond that blue neon.

I hear tell there's people out there
Who don't know what losin' you means
They don't have a heart that just falls apart
At the mention of your name

I've heard they pretend
The world didn't end
Right when I knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on
Beyond that blue neon

I hear tell there's people out there
Who don't know what losing you means
They don't have a heart that just falls apart
At the mention of your name

Well it's a quarter 'til 2
And I don't have a clue
As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn
I'll wonder what's goin' on
Beyond that blue neon

Lord, what's goin' on
Beyond that blue neon.

I never thought too much about her leavin'
I'd find someone around there was no doubt
But this time the feelin' is strange and different
Since she's gone there's one thing I found out

It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

I've never suffered much in the hurtin' line
I've always been as good as any man
But show me who can lose in love and like it
And I'll be the first to proudly shake his hand

It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me...

In a bar in Acuna called Mah Crosby's
I found myself not feeling any pain
I told a Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
She said she'd only come to catch a train
We struck up some idle conversation
Traded all the troubles on our minds
One thing led to another in the evening
And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico
If You need a reason
Say it's too much guitar music, tequila, salt, and lime
Blame it on Mexico
But she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

Daylight dawned and found me in DelRio
In a run down motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of a morning after
And all alone as far as I could tell
Why she left, I have no way of knowing
Guess she cought her train, and that's a crime
She took everything I ever wanted
And i fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico
If you need a reason
Say it's too much guitar music, tequila, salt, and lime
Blame it on Mexico
But she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

You swear you've had enough
You're ready to give up
On that little lie they call love
Then out of the blue clear sky

Fallin' right into your hands
Like rain on the desert sand
It's the last thing you had planned
Then out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Ain't love a funny thing
One day you're givin' up the dream
And the next you're pickin' out a ring
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived

Out of the blue clear sky

I've never once in my life
Met someone like you
I don't know what the word blue means
As long as I'm with you

You fill me so completely
Through everything you do
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue was all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh, how I love you

I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue was all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh, how I love you

I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you...

I've never once in my life
Met someone like you
I don't know what the word blue means

Diamonds on the windshield,as heaven starts to cry.
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye.
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them.

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

He puts the pedel to the metal,trying to outta run the rain,
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his vains,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on

Brothers of the highway, children of the win.
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Carolina west to Denver,
Baton Rouge east to Pittsburg,
Portland south to San Diego,
Sail on sail on,
Tallahassy north to Boston,
Up to Bangor west to Austin,
Coast to coast,sea to sea,
Sail on sail on,

You brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin sun, freedom's your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness,
Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet.
Afraid of movin' much in any direction:
Stuck where the past and the future meet.

But I fin'lly got my first good look:
A little fire was all it too.
An' as the flames grew brighter,
I saw everything that I'd missed.
Once you get your courage up,
You light a match an' your eyes adjust:
It's amazing what a man can see,
By the light of a burnin' bridge.

An' there were things I saw that I'm not proud of.
Things that I'd do diff'rent now from then.
But when I really make myself get honest,
It's over and I can't go back again.

'Cause I fin'lly got my first good look:
A little fire was all it took.
An' as the flames grew brighter,
I saw everything that I'd missed.
Once you get your courage up,
You light a match an' your eyes adjust:
It's amazing what a man can see,
By the light of a burnin' bridge.

It sure is hard to let go and to leave the past behind,
But there ain't no other way that you can find some peace of mind.

When I fin'lly got my first good look:
A little fire was all it took.
An' as the flames grew brighter,
I saw everything that I'd missed.
Once you get your courage up,
You light a match an' your eyes adjust:
It's amazing what a man can see,
By the light of a burnin' bridge.
It's amazing what a man can see,
By the light of a burnin' bridge.

I don't take my whiskey to extreme,
I don't believe in chasing crazy dreams,
My feet are planted firmly on the ground,
But darlin' when you come around

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

It might seem like an ordinary night,
Same old stars, the same old moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

I don't take my whiskey to extreme,
I don't believe in chasing crazy dreams,
My feet are planted firmly on the ground,
But darlin' when you come around

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

It might seem like an ordinary night,
Same old stars, the same old moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone
I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

Maybe all I've got is this beat-up leather bag
And everything I own don't fill up half
But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack
All I care about is getting back real soon
A good-bye kiss is all I need from you

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm carrying your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I'll be moving with the good Lord's speed
Carrying your love with me
It's my strength, for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need
Carrying your love with me

On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain
Darling all I have to do is speak your name
The clouds rollback and the waters part
The sun starts shining in my heart for you
You're right there in everything I do

[Chorus: x2]

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
'Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no

Check yes or no

Check yes or no

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
'Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to

Check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do

Do you love me do you wanna be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no

Check yes or no

Check yes or no

Come on along and we'll go down
To a place in Texas called Cow Town
You'll never meet a stranger there
Ev'rybody knows if you're in town

They'll greet you with a smile
And a 'Howdy, How you all'
And just a little while
You'll get that Texas drawl
The hats are wide and the boots are brown
You'll just love this place called Cow Town.

No matter where I may wonder
No matter where I may roam
There is a place way down yonder
I'm goin there and make it my home.

Come on along and we'll go down
To a place in Texas called Cow Town
You'll never meet a stranger there
Ev'rybody knows if you're in town.

And just a little while
You'll get that Texas drawl
The hats are wide and the boots are brown
You'll just love this place called Cow Town.

You'll just love this place called Cow Town...

I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride
We burn up that road
To old Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll

Cowboys like us
Sure do have fun
Racing the wind
Chasing the sun
Take the long way around
Back to square one
Today we're just outlaws
Out on the run
There'll be no regrets
No worries and such
Cowboys like us

We talk about living
Babies and women
All that we've lost
And all we've been given
We sing about true love
Lie about things we ain't done
We drink one more cold one
Come morning we get up
And we roll

Cowboys like us
Sure do have fun
Racing the wind
Chasing the sun
Take the long way around
Back to square one
Today we're just outlaws
Out on the run
There'll be no regrets
No worries and such
Cowboys like us

The stars at night - are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The prairie sky - is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The Sage in bloom - is like perfume
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Reminds me of - the one I love
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The rabbits rush - around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The coyotes wail - along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of Texas.

I'm drifting into deep water,
I'm startin' to care for you.
You're gettin' me in deep water,
Be careful what you do.

You want a romance, but I'm seeking love.
I know I'll regret it when it ends.
I'm windin' up in deep water.
Why can't we just be friends?

There's restless and there's deep water.
I'm lost between right and wrong.
My love is true as deep water.
Your love won't last as long.

Where will it lead me and where will it end?
I can't help but wish I only knew.
I'm winding up in deep water.
So deep in love with you...

Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
You're lyin' next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it's just a dream, but

Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything's ok, but

Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Know there's no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
'Cause I still love you desperately

Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Watch the sun goin' down
There ain't nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin' myself
I don't need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately...

Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
You're lyin' next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms

But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Shake the sleep from my head

Once you told me you were gonna love me
That it was meant to be and there's no other way
Then came someone showed you more fun
We've had a good run better think it over

Do the right thing, baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

He's got a good line, shows you a good time
Did he change your mind. guess it's your move
I'll lose my pride, I'd even step aside
Honey. you really must decide who's best for you

Do the right thing, baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

You might chose me or chose to lose me
Someday you'll see the good thing you had

Do the right thing, baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing...

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous.
I try it night after night.
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
Darlin' while you're busy burning bridges,
Burn one for me if you get time.
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy.
Does Fort Worth ever cross you mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.

Weatherman says it's raining, again
Perfect night for staying in
Well, looking at you,
I don't doubt that it's true
And, did I hear you say, baby,
Put on a smile, kick you're shoes off
And stay a while
Since you asked me to,
I don't mind if I do.

That old clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm making time with you
And holding you tight
By the light of the radio
I whisper baby, I love you so
Well, if you love me too,
I don't mind if I do.

That old clock can just tick off the wall

I don't mind if I do.

Just as long as it's you baby
I don't mind if I do...

I am goin' down Louisiana way
I'm going back as of this very day
Don't worry about me 'cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

And think about you San Francisco, now and then
I will remember my compadres in L.A.
Look me up down Louisiana way

We knew the time would come around, for me to go

So long friend, quess I'll see you while ago

True love waits down Louisiana way

Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay

He saw her after school, sippin on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin crazy jokes
She turned his motor on, man his heart was gone
Fire down below, easy as you go

Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoa easy as you go

Graduation night, out behind the stands
In the fading light, he became a man
She discovered love better be enough
Cause baby's gonna grow, easy as you go

Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoa easy as you go

Judgemental frowns, teacher's lookin down
Parents all ashamed, passin out the blame
They got a little room, service station view
The rents too high, pays to low whoa
Easy as you go

There aint nothing like a daughter or a son
To make a mama old and keep a daddy young
Make a body dream, and give a life a theme
Take the highs and the lows whoa

Says she's had enough of me, I've had enough of her too.
I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.
No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-
That's just the way it sometimes goes.
Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road.

[Chorus]
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come girl, easy go.

We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work.
I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt.
No hard feelings darling, no regrets,
No tears and no broken hearts.
Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards.

[Chorus]

Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya con dios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.

Every time my ship comes in
A hurricane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of paradise
Flew the coop on me last night
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

I got a letter from the I.R.S
They said, son, you're in a hell of a mess
Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more
That machine's made a bad mistake
'Cause that's more than this poor boy makes
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Just got my car out of the shop
Two blocks down the street it stopped
I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
I walked back to my Chevrolet
But they towed that sucker away
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes ]
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour
Well, every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

I thought of walkin' out on you
It's crossed my mind a time or two
Nights we almost called it a day
And days we almost threw our love away

Chorus:
We've thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We've called it everything but quits
We've said some things that hurt
But love's always had the last word
We've called it everything but quits

Well I might get mad but it don't last
Said things but always took 'em back
Like all those I don't love you's anymore
But anything worth havin' is worth fightin' for

Repeat Chorus

I told her I wouldn't miss her at all
As she walked through the door
I couldn't care less
If she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, I lied
I was glad we were through
As she drove away crying
At the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart
And I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

The first night without her would be easy
I kept tellin' myself
All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin'
Somewhere else
There'll be nothin' to it
I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoes
The famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart
And I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

You won't break my heart
And I don't love you

Not so very long from now
She'll be known all over town
'Cause she waits by her phone from in the car
She says the limit is the sky
And tonight she's flyin' high
But I'll hang around and take her faults and all.

Oh' yes she once was mine
Now she's changed and she's that kind
With a crowd she has her self a ball
But she's not that kind of girl
She's just hidin' from the world
But I'll hang around and take her faults and all.

She's about as low as a girl can go
She ain't got far to fall
But when she hits the ground
I'm gonna be around
'Cause I want her most of all
And when all's been said and done
I'm gonna be the one
Who'll hang around and take her faults and all.

She's about as low as a girl can go

Who'll hang around and take her faults and all.

Yeah, I'll hang around and take her faults and all...

Fifteen years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now, there's roses in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in me is gone
My tears tell her, I'm sorry
But they can't right my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After Fifteen years goin' up
It's hard to take a fall

Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From high on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

I've been, fifteen years goin' up
And one night comin' down...

Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use

[Chorus]
He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on

[Chorus: x2]

I love the sound of a jukebox playing,
So I sit here while she's staying home
Watching Dallas on TV
I love the taste of whiskey straight,
But the strongest thing she ever takes is a sip
From a small glass of Chablis.
Though birds of a different feather,
Our love keeps us together,
And she knows what's wrong with me tonight,

I've got that Friday night fever;
Sometimes a man just needs a breather.
She knows I love her and I need her.
And I'm no cheater,
I've just got that Friday night fever.

She wouldn't change me if she could,
So I wouldn't change her, she's too good.
Sometimes a man just needs a change of pace.
I've heard all those come-on lines,
But I go home at closing time.
I know no one could ever take her place
Now she's taking down her hair,
She knows I'll soon be there
To give her the love she needs tonight.

I've got that Friday night fever;
Sometimes a man just needs a breather.
She knows I love her and I need her.
And I'm no cheater,
I've just got that Friday night fever.

I got that Friday night fever;
Sometimes a man just needs a breather.

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears
Give me more time
I need more time

O what would he give for a little more time?

Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine
One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind
afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind
Give me more time
I gotta have more time

Some have barely any, some too much on their hands
Some would give anything to have it back again

The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors
You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

I'm so sorry, I keep interrupting, what were you gonna say?
You caught him cheatin', I don't blame you for walkin' away.
I know where you're comin' from, it sounds like where I've been
Oh, there I go interrupting your story once again

Go on, go on, you were sayin' how a fool can only fool you so long
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else you can do but go on.

Our conversation won't change nothin', but it's sure nice to talk
With somebody who's been cut out of the same ol' cloth
You know how you said happiness can't be found lookin' back
If you don't mind, maybe we can talk a little more about that.

Go on, go on, you were sayin' this is better than sittin' at home
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on...

Even when you see no reason to
Don't wait to live life 'cause it won't wait for you

Go on, please go on, you were sayin' what don't kill us only makes us strong
It's true, that's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on.

Just go on.
Life goes on... and on.

Well, I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls.
She don't ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all.
That a fire might still be burnin', yeah,
But, I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get.

She don't even show up in my dreams at night,
But my stubborn ol' memory keeps holdin' on tight.
Sure makes it hard to forget
She's about as gone as a girl can get.

She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace.
More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face.
Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight,
Last seen headin' right on out of my life.
Like a stranger I ain't never met,
She's about as gone as a girl can get,

She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace.
More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face.
Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight,
Last seen headin' right on out of my life.
Like a stranger I ain't never met,
She's about as gone as a girl can get,

Like a stranger I ain't never met,
I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get...

I use to be the one who, she was always holdin on to
Like a fool I told her away two times
He was glad to see me let go, he's all I see now in her eyes
He's got that somethin special
But that somethin special use to be mine

She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that somethin special
But that somethin special use to be mine

I never knew how good I had it, never do til you don't have it
I'd give anything to have her back
It hurts me to admit that, he's got what I never knew I had
He's got that somethin special
But that somethin special use to be mine

She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that somethin special
But that somethin special use to be mine

He's got that somethin special

Now, who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes or
The bitter direction of impending good-byes
I've followed and folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

With your heart broke and runnin' from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leavin'?
With my heart broke

Now pride is a drag and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to you
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation but I know just how you feel

With your heart broke and runnin' from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heart broke , who kept me from leavin'?
With my heart broke

Nobody said it was goin' to be easy
We all have feelin's that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

When your heart broke and runnin' from the reason
You've got your heart broke, don't give up on believin'
When you're Heart broke, who kept me from leavin'?
With my heart broke, you've got me heart broke...

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' to the sound of the American heart
And opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye

Sing a song about the Heartland
The only place I feel at home
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life

The only place I feel at home

You came into my life like an answer to a prayer
Like a star that falls from the sky right out of thin air
Some might say it's a miracle or a dream come true
But from that day I always knew

Heaven is missing an angel
That's the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
'Cause you're right here with me

No one else in the world has touched me like you do
It's super natural, girl, the way I feel when I'm with you
I'm in paradise whenever you're around
Then when I look in your eyes there's no doubt

Heaven is missing an angel
That's the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
'Cause you're right here with me

You're right here...
