Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever Just once I turned my back and you were gone From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers I'm all through ever trusting anyone The only thing I can count on now is my fingers I was a fool believing in you, now you are gone It amazes me, not knowing any better Than to think I had a love who would be true Why, I should be taken out, tarred and feathered To have let myself be taken in by you |

All of me belongs to you all the time
You're the only one that's ever on my mind There's no way that I would ever be untrue There's not one single part of me That don't miss you through and through 'Cause all of me belongs to you Eyes are worthless 'cause you're not here to see My lips are so forgotten since you forgotten me My arms ached from reaching out to you the way they do There's not one single part of me That don't miss you through and through 'Cause all of me belongs to you Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams Searching for a love I lost but can't redeem Hey, I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new There's not one single part of me My heart don't inclue 'Cause all of me belongs to you Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams Searching for a love I lost but can't redeem Hey, I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new There's not one single part of me My heart don't inclue 'Cause all of me belongs to you All of me belongs to you |

Most of my lfe I've been runnin' around
Playin' and havin' a ball And maybe I've been on a party too long These mem'ries are fond to recall You see we've got this thing About women smokin' and good alcohol Now I'm lookin' for a homelife And clean smellin' sheets And all the soft places to fall The women we've known have been many But they don't understand us at all Though we've spent many a long hours Hopin' some old love would call Surely somebody somewhere still wants us Or don't nobody wants us at all We're lookin' for a homelife And clean smellin' sheets And all the soft places to fall Most of our lives we've been outlaws Slept with our backs to the wall I'm a rambler I'm a seeker And we're gettin' weaker A whole lot more likely to fall We're tired of the rocks and brambles Those barbed wire fences and all We're lookin' for a homelife And clean smellin' sheets And all the soft places to fall [ guitar ] Most of our lives we've been outlaws Slept with our backs to the wall I'm a rambler I'm a seeker And we're gettin' weaker A whole lot more likely to fall We're tired of the rocks and brambles Those barbed wire fences and all We're lookin' for a homelife And clean smellin' sheets And all the soft places to fall |

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand. I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never Looked at you the second time. Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes met mine. And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross The room that you felt for me. Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in Mind could never be.

If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear
And there were no wheat or barley anywhere Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan' The farm just won't get tended, if the farmer isn't here And the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear There's a railroad train that's on it's way to no where Never to return again this way Will the future farmer board this train to no where Is there nothin' we can do to help him stay Can we get rid of that foreign aid to the farmer over here Or the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear And there were no wheat or barley anywhere Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan' Can we sink a bit of some foreign aid to the farmer over here Or the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear |

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...

Why'd do something out of reach seem so fine What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know I guess it's just because you can't be mine Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing I guess it's just because you can't be mine What makes me always want a woman I can't have Why the someone else's silver always shine My patience rises every time you come around And I guess it's just because you can't be mine Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing I guess it's just because you can't be mine |

To some town in California close in something somewhere close to east LA Don't think finding her was easy cause something sure had changed my Tulsa girl But I came here to show my love and try to understand her crazy world I was thrilled because she treated me with joy And was glad she still remembered Well enough to know someone she called her boy And I've heard about those sugar cutes before I ever came to find her there I was glad to be excepted even though I've known as big time Annie's square I'm just big time Annie's leaning post someone she can turn to now and then Annie says I'm feeble but Annie's friends don't question The square John known as big time Annie's friend Well sometimes I feel happy through and through And I always find excuses for anything my Annie wants to do We don't agree on nothin' but I'll be dangled if we don't make the pair My friends call her hippie and her friends call me big time Annie's square I'm just big time Annie's leaning post... |

But they won't let my secret go untold I paid the debt I owed them,but they're still not satisfied Now I'm a branded man out un the cold When they let me out of prison,I held my head up high Determined I would rise above the shame But no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows me I'm branded with a number on my name Repeat verse 1 If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name 'Cause everybody knows I've been in jai No matter where I'm living,I've got to tell them where I've been Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail Repeat verse 1 Now I'm a branded man out un the cold |

I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
But they won't let my secret go untold I paid the debt I owed them,but they're still not satisfied Now I'm a branded man out un the cold When they let me out of prison,I held my head up high Determined I would rise above the shame But no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows me I'm branded with a number on my name Repeat verse 1 If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name 'Cause everybody knows I've been in jai No matter where I'm living,I've got to tell them where I've been Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail Repeat verse 1 Now I'm a branded man out un the cold |

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.

My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43,
When I was just a child in momma's arms. My daddy plowed the ground and promised someday we would leave This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm. Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma That he'd finally saved enough to go. California was his dream, a paradise, for he had seen Pictures in magazines that told him so. California Cottonfields, Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams. California Cottonfields, As close to wealth as daddy ever came. Nearly everything we had was sold or left behind, From my daddy's plow to the soup that momma canned. Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell; Some just came to shake my daddy's hand. That model A was loaded down and California bound; A change of luck was just 4 days away. But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy Was when his dark hair turned to silver grey. California Cottonfields, Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams. California Cottonfields, As close to wealth as daddy ever came. |

Carolyn let me tell you what I heard about a man today
He didn't come home from work and he went away 'Til he came to a city, bright in the night time like day There they say he met with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet Their warm lips like a honeycomb, dripped with honey And somethin' about the smell of strange perfume Made him feel warm, and not alone Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely And I believe a man will do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn, a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely And I believe a man will do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn, a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home |

I remember you loved me with all of your heart
And I know your's as well as my own I know you still need me and you're out there somewhere And maybe you're cold and alone I'm carryin' fire carryin' fire burning for you a raging desire I'm out of control the flame's ever high But what can I do I'm burning for you carryin' fire Months slowly circle flickering candle a fire is all you can see If love is the feeling with one for the other then surely you're looking for me I'm carryin' fire carryin' fire... |

One night when the moon was bright o'er a moonlight glade
That is where I found my little Cherokee maid The me'mry of that night of love is lingering yet and I know I never will forget My little Cherokee maiden I love her so and though we're far apart I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her for anybody else's heart Someday I'll make a trip back to the Cherokee strip And I'll carry her away with me And straight as an arrow flies we'll live to paradise My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me [ sax ] My little Cherokee maiden I love her so... |

Seems like every November
When the weather gets bad I start to remember All the good times we had The long nights get longer I Wish an friend would come by The forecast is zero And the chill factors high You know the chill factors higher On a cold windy day But there's no wind this morning And no wind on the way There's a snowstorm inside me With record high wind And I'm colder this morning Than I've ever been Seems like every November When the weather gets bad I start to remember The good love we had And the long nights get longer Wish an old friend would drop by The forecast is zero And the chill factors high |

Crazy moon, can't you see that I still care? And I'm going to need to hold her pretty soon Crazy me Crazy moon Crazy moon, your silver light can't find the ground Cause you're in the sky before the sun goes down And we waste another lonely afternoon Crazy me Crazy moon |

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you You drove me Nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Said that love was too plebeian Said that you were through with me and Now you say you say love me And just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river You drove me Nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Said that love was too plebeian Told that you were through with me and Now you say you say love me And just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Cry |

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp, Sister played the ringing tambourine. Mama couldn't hear our pretty music, She read our lips and helped the family sing. That little band was all a part of living, And our only means of living at the time; And it wasn't like no normal family combo, Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind. Frank and mama counted on each other; Their one and only weakness made them strong. Mama did the driving for the family, And Frank made a living with a song. Home was just a camp along the highway; A pick-up bed was where we bedded down. Don't ever once remember going hungry, But I remember mama cooking on the ground. Don't remember how they got acquainted; I can't recall just how it came to be. There had to be some special help from someone, And blessed be the one that let it be. Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing. Daddy Frank was born without his sight. And mama needed someone she could lean on, And I believe the guitar man was right. Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp, Sister played the ringing tambourine. Mama couldn't hear our pretty music, She read our lips and helped the family sing. |

Since we first said I love you it's been twenty years tonight
I moved by and love refused to go It seems like only yesterday or maybe just last summer Most of all a year or so ago Don't seem like we've been together all our lives Don't seem like we've been settled down since we got out of school I'd have thought we'd still love each other when twilight years arive Don't seem like we've been together all our lives The baby came in April of 1964 she'd look like me but still she favor you I can't believe the years have already come and gone Seem like everything we own is nearly new Don't seem like we've been together... |

But he never seems to find The reward that should be waiting At the end of the line But he'll give up a bed of roses for A life filled with thorns And go chasing after rainbows Everytime the dream is born And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me |

Everybody's had the blues sometimes and
Everybody knows the tune And everybody knows the way I'm feelin' cause Everybody's had the blues A lonely, song someone is gone A story old as time Love, hate, or want and wait till misery fills your mind But everybody knows the way I'm feelin' 'cause Everybody's had the blues |

I hear that train a comin', it's comin' 'round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on And I hear that train 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 lonesome whistle I hang my head and I cry I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free But I hear that train a-rollin' and that's what tortures me Well, if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it over a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to be And let that train keep rollin' and roll my blues away |

FOOL'S CASTLE
(Tommy Collins) ≪ ⓒ '66 Red River Songs, BMI ≫ It's a big house on a hilltop fine carpets on the floor Expensive polished marble are the steps up to the door Vines are climbin' up to the roof top as if there's something they'd like to hide People call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside The girl is gone that warmed the castle now it's dark the flame has died It's a big house on a hilltop without love and without pride People call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside She used to live here I thought she was lucky she had what most girls only dream of I gave her diamonds silk and satin I gave her everything but love And with my giving I gave her nothing she wanted only to be by my side Yes they call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside The girl is gone that warmed the castle... |

I live the kinda life most men only dream of
I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go When it's over So I hide my age and make the stage and Try to kick the footlights out again I throw my old guitar across the stage and Then my bassman takes the ball And the crowd goes nearly wild to see My guitar nearly fall After twenty years of pickin' we're still alive And kickin' and kickin' down the wall Tonight we'll kick the footlights out And walk away without a curtain call Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again And try to hide the mood we're really in Might not put on our old Instamatic grin Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again I live the kinda life most men only dream of And I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them But I'm fortysome years old and I ain't got no place to go When it's over So I hide my age and make the stage and Try to kick the footlights out again |

In old Padres Nadres Old Mexico
Once in my travel I happened to go I met Maria and we fell in love It seemed like heaven came down from above Dark skin and dark eyes and dark wavy hair All kept me spellbound as love filled the air I held her tightly then to my surpise She whispered soft words with tears in her eyes Go home go home your people would not understand Go home go home go back to your own homeland With gentle persuasion I changed her mind I said they'd love her and treat her so kind So we went together to my old hometown I wanted to show my old friends what I'd found But hate made my sweet dream a nightmare One day I came home and she was not there A note on the table tore my world apart My old friends has been there and told my sweetheart Go home go home your place is not with this man Go home go home go back to your own homeland |
