If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck If the river was whiskey I would be a diving duck I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up If you were a good woman I would never have to roam If you were a good woman I would never have to roam I'd give up drinking whiskey and I would always stay at home River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea Why you ain't no good woman A mystery to me River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea And like a fish has got to swim, you've got to make a fool out of me If the river was whiskey I would be a diving duck If the river was whiskey I would be a diving duck I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up |

I know the desert could hold all the love that i feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold |

I found her number, and the note she wrote Deep in the pocket, of a real old coat It just got by me some way I'm having a real bad day Said she was all moved in and her apartment, sure looked fine Suggested I come by, and see her some time Said all her fixtures were new, and I'll turn them on for you She said I get home at a quarter to six I'll be waiting for your call I'll fix you something, I'm sure your gonna love but we don't have to, we don't have to eat at all that's one of the problems, of life on the road little notes like this ain't got no area code I don't know what else to say I'm having, a real bad day I don't know what to say I'm having, a real bad day |

Your magic hands … your lovin’ eyes Your kissable lips Makes my heart realize I’m in love … I’m in love And I know it’s true For … who-o-o wouldn’t fall for irresistible you. WelI … I don’t know what you got But it’s got me and baby I’m hooked Like a fish in the sea You make angles call from above You could make the Devil fall in love An-a … who-o-o wouldn’t fall for irresistible you. Ohhh, come on … Lets dance awhile … I wanna talk … I wanna talk to you child … Been blessed … So much … too much … There is a wonder of love in your touch. Ah, don’t you fret … Don’t you worry about me ‘cause I never forget … How much you mean to me I love you … I love you My whole life through Tell me … who-o-o wouldn’t fall for irresistible you. Lets twist awhile … Don’t you ever fret … Don’t you worry about me I never forget … How much you mean to me I love you … I love you My whole life through But tell me … who-o-o wouldn’t fall for irresistible you. |

She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride My baby caught the Katy, left me a mule to ride The train pulled out, and I swung on behind I'm crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman of mine Man my baby's long, great god she's mighty, she's tall You know my baby's long, great god she's mighty, my baby she's tall Well my baby she's long, my baby she's tall She sleeps with her head in the kitchen and her big feet out in the hall And I'm still crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman of mine Well I love my baby, she's so fine I wish she'd come and see me some time If you don't believe I love her, look what a hole I'm in If you don't believe I'm sinking, look what a shape I'm in She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride Well my baby caught the Katy, left me a mule to ride The train pulled out, and I swung on behind I'm crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman, hardheaded woman of |

Though you failed at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind You stare at me with disbelief You say for you there's no relief But girl I swear it won't do you no harm Don't sit there in your lonely room Just looking back inside that gloom Mama that's not were you belong Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green And everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind Though you failed at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind |

I know the desert could hold all the love that i feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold |
