Two Sparrows In A Hurricane

4:09

from Tanya Tucker - Love Songs (1996)

She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly:
two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will
There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills
They can't pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side
go to She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly
go to
2 2:
Like two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

As Long As There's A Heartbeat

3:19

from Tanya Tucker - Love Songs (1996)

There's a full moon up above tonight
But I don't know if it will always shine
And I can't say tomorrow it won't rain
One thing that I know will never change

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you

Through good and bad you stand right by my side
Through all the ups and downs we face in life
We'll grow old and silver haired someday
Youth may pass but love will still remain

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you

Time goes by it can make you feel alone
The future's so uncertain
But there's one thing you should know

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And I'll give all my love to you, I'll give all my love to you

Love Me Like You Used To

Strong Enough To Bend

2:44

from Tanya Tucker - Love Songs (1996)

There's a tree out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
And the reason it's still standin'
It was strong enough to bend.

For years we have stayed together,
As lovers and as friends.
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you say somethin' that you can't take back,
A big wind blows and you hear a crack.
When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong,"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)

Like a tree
(Like a tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
Will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you start thinkin' that you know it all,
A big wind blows and a branch will fall.
When you say "Hey, this job takes two,"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)

Like the tree
(Like the tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

Your Love Amazes Me

Right About Now

3:38

from Tanya Tucker - Love Songs (1996)

Right about now you'd be saying sweet nothings,
and I'd be hanging on your every word.
My lips would be wet with your kisses,
and we'd be lost in our own little world.
Right about now I'd be feeling your heart beat and your fingers touching my skin.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be back in your arms somehow.
Oh, Right about now.
Right about now you'd promise forever, and swear I hadn't felt nothing yet.
Then you'd pull me a little bit closer and I'd play just hard enough to get.
Right about now we'd be under the covers making love that knew no shame. Oh what I wouldn't do to be with you somehow,oh right about now.
Now the clock on the wall keeps ticking, oh but time's sure been passing slow.
And it's myself that I've been kicking for ever letting you go.
But darling you know where to find me should you have a change of heart.
I sure could use a little of you no doubt, right about now.
I sure could use you baby right about now.
Since you've been gone there's nothing, right about now.
I sure do need your touching right about now. Right about now.

San Antonio Stroll

2:58

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

When I was a child down in South Carolin'
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin' to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a'singin' the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They'd be hummin' a song,
Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl.
Like the San Antonio Stroll.

Well the day finally come
When my momma said hun
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll.

I've been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.

Don't Believe My Heart Can Stand Another You

3:03

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Billy Ray Reynolds)

Don't believe my heart can stand another you
I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true.
So go your way I've had enough
The game you play is just to rough.
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

Of all the people in the world to be standing at my door
Telling me she left me, you know the one I left you for
I sat down and thought it over now I've come to this conclusion
Don't believe my heart can stand another you

I've tried every way I know to put you out of myself
I've been as far down as my knees
But so far it has been no help
And with you already here what I must say get complicated
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

Don't believe my heart can stand another you
I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true.
So go your way I've had enough
The game you play is just to rough.
I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

I don't believe my heart can stand another you.

The Jamestown Ferry

3:04

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

I didn't think that he'd leave me
After saying how much he needs me
But the fact still remains
I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
Lord it's about to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest peice of heaven I've ever known

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

As I walk through his kingdom
Of honkey-tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me
And comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath
He had a soothing southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me

Here's Some Love

2:55

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

I've been watchin' you crying.
When ya do I just feel like dying,
I could give ya somethin' that would ease your mind.
Let me give it to ya,
Just a little bit will do ya,
It's something you've been needing for a long long time.

Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

Don't ya keep me waiting, no
What's the use in hesitating.
You know as well as well as me it's what you're looking for.
Put your lips on mine, now now now.
You could make it feel so fine now.
You never have to be without it anymore.

Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

(fade out)
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
Keep it close to you,
And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay.
Here's some love,
Take a little bit of it home with you.
It will grow with you,
And some day you can bring it back to stay.

Blood Red And Going Down

3:14

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Claude Putman Jr)

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

Daddy said: "Now come girl, we're headin' down the road to Augusta."
An thinkin' through his clenched teeth, he called Mama's name, then he cussed her.
He said: "Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along and stole your mother."
Ah, but you can't steal a willin' mind whose mom is always lookin' for a lover.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

With dusty teardrops in his face, my daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'.
An' halfway runnin' to keep up, my shorter legs were so tired and shakin'.
"Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child with tears never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

We searched in every bar room, an' honky-tonk as well.
An' finally Daddy found them, but Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell.
He sent me out to wait, but scared, I looked back through the door.
An' Daddy left them both soakin' up the sawdust on the floor.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

Pecos Promenade

2:33

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Larry Collins/Snuff Garrett/Sandy Pinkard)

If you've got a road map of Texas,
You can see that it's a wide open state.
From Amarillo down to Boulder,
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place.

They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas,
Or disco down on Galveston Bay.
But when God made them West Texas cowboys,
He gave them the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Big sign hangin' by the door,
Sawdust on an old dance floor.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade.

When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie,
And the starlight, falls on the state.
That's when this cowgirl needs me a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

Tonight's the first I saw him,
We can hear those twin fiddles play.
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar heaven,
As we dance the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade

That's when this cowgirl needs a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

What's Your Mama's Name, Child

3:13

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions

'Til one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question

And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter

That said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
What's your mama's name child...
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name

Down To My Last Teardrop

3:42

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

"They said your love life's in trouble in a magazine I read
When the one you love is hangin' off of his side of the bed
Baby, you're just barely hangin' on
Honey I know you'll soon be gone

And I don't need my palm read to know what lies ahead
I can see you in the arms of another girl instead
Baby this ain't the first time you've done it to me
Honey it's gonna be the last time

And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time

I don't care who or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you
Uh-uh

Now I know where I'm goin' baby I know where I'm bound
I've been rearranging chairs on a ship that's goin' down
Baby, just step aside if you would
Honey, it's really over for good

And you might want to talk to me, you might want to call
But you won't hear nothin' out of me at all
Cause Baby, I ain't got nothin' left to say
Honey, I'll just be on my way

And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time

I don't care who or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you

And I know you that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time"

Just Another Love

2:58

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Paul Davis)

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I hear you've got a reputation in town,
For takin' all the young girls an' breakin' them down.
You're givin' me an invitation to stay,
But boy, you know, my heart says I oughtta be runnin' away.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I guess it's my turn,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well you've got some kind of magic in your big brown eyes,
Where'd you ever learn how to hypnotise?
Just like in romance books that I've read.
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade of my canopy bed.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna give your love a try.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
Oh no, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

I'Ll Come Back As Another Woman

4:04

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Richard Carpenter/Kent Robbin)

You never gave me back the love I gave to you.
You just gave me half your heart and that half was untrue.
So I'll leave you with a promise, from a heart that's heard enough:
Someday you'll find out that you can't escape my love.

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

Some day you'll wake up with your arms around a dream.
The love that she will make to you will be too good to believe.
You'll say: "I love you," and for once it will be true.
You'll fall too fast to realise who you're talking to.

You'll give your heart and soul, she'll be the only one.
You'll be hers completely, there'll be no way you can run.
And with a smile she'll break your loving heart in two.
And, baby, you'll recall the one who said these words to you:

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

You'll hear the echo of my promise, (Ha, Ha, Ha.)
How you laughed and how I cried.
The one you finally give your heart to, (Ha, Ha, Ha.)
Will leave you crying in the night.

I'll come back as another woman,
One with all the secrets to your heart.
I'll come back as another woman,
I'll be the one you burn for,
That you reach for in the dark.
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart.

I'll come back,
I'll come back
As another woman.

My Arms Stay Open All Night

3:49

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Paul Overstreet/Don Schlitz)

I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun.
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung.
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know,
When all the laughter's ended, there's still somewhere you can go.

My arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind.
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time.
So if it's after midnight, or just before the break of day,
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

When all your so-called friends go home,
You don't ever have to be alone.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

My arms stay open all night.

If It Don't Come Easy

3:31

from Tanya Tucker - Hits (2003)

(Dave Gibson/Craig Karp)

I know a man, a good friend of mine;
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right.
But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no;
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing:

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold.
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home.
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy,
I wish there was a way I could make her realise.

That if it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

Let it go, though it's hard I know;
Let it loose, I tell you, it's no use.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it,
You better let it go.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.

So now I'm a-gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight

Ya, I'll be wearin' my old travelin' hat
Now, baby, what do you think of that
'Cause all ya do is treat me wrong
So, honey, I'll be good and gone
I'll be wearin' my old travelin' hat

I'm the best thing, baby that you ever had
When ya find that out
You're gonna feel so bad
You'll beg me, please
Come back home to you
But it's too late
I'm puttin' on my walkin' shoes

Walk on

But I'll be wearin my it's all over coat
And I ain't even leavin' you a note
All ya do is cause me pain
And I ain't commin' back again
I'll be wearin' my it's all over coat

I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
Well, I'm a-leavin' here
'Cause you don't treat me right
All ya do is make me cry
So now I'm a-gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight
Yeah I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes tonight

Baby, your heart is in serious danger,

"How much do I owe you?" said the husband to his wife,
"For standing beside me through the hard years of my life.
"Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
"Say the word and it's yours.

And his wife said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
"No, I won't take less than your love.
"All the riches of the world could never be enough,
"And I won't take less than your love."

"How much do I owe you?" to the mother said the son.
"For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young.
"Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
"And a pillow for to rest your weary head."

And the mother said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
"No, I won't take less than your love.
"All the comforts of the world could never be enough,

Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, well it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me, aha
Have you been hurt by some girl
Who came to take you for a ride
It seems when you woke up one mornin'
She was not there by your side
Well I'm not the kind who whispers into your ear
The words that you want to hear
Then she just disappears, whoa
Someday you'll see that I'm devoted to you, oh
I'll do what you want me to So

Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me, aha

What is the problem
I don't understand why we can't get along
Don't be afraid of the consequences
I won't do you wrong

I'm not the kind who whispers into your ear
The words that you want to hear
Then she just disappears, whoa
Someday you'll see that I'm devoted to you, oh
I'll do what you want me to So

Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me

Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me aha

Looking back she thinks about that moment in the sand
But what was just a summer fling got so far out of hand
She knew that he was taken
But she gave in anyway
She believed when she heard him say
Soon
I'll be free to be with you
Soon
I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
I want you to be my wife
And our dreams will all come true
Soon
Christmas finds her all alone with no cause to rejoice
So she calls his code a phone just to hear his voice
She knows that it's useless
But she does it anyway
She knows how he'll answer before she hears him say
Soon
I can't talk with you right now
Soon
You'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
Leave your number and your name
And I promise I'll call back
Soon
Some day slowly turns to never
Tears and champagne offer no solution
He'll say Soon to her forever
So she makes her New Year's resolution
Soon
She won't call him anymore
Soon
When he shows up at her door
And asks her When can I be with you again?
It'll be her turn to say
Soon

I Love You Anyway

Let The Good Times Roll

3:36

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

It opens up with the same old scene
you pushing me on that tire swing
Up so high I could almost touch the sky
The picture fades to you and me
caught stealing a kiss behind the tree
It's so real it's like you never said goodbye
Every night I turn the lights down low
And take out that old video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow
And let the good times roll

The road moves on and it always will
but I can make time stand still
I can turn it back and make things just the same
And though you're gone, you're still here,
you're far away but always near
I can see your face and hear you call my name
Freeze frame

Every night I turn the lights down low
And take out that old video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow
And let the good times roll
When it comes to an end I can play it all again
You went away but the good old days are here to stay

Every night I turn the lights down low
And take out that old video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow
And let the good times roll

Now it's time to turn the lights down low
And let the good times roll

Let 'em roll

We Don't Have To Do This

2:44

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

If anyone had told me Things would get this far
I'd have told them they were crazy Yet, here we are
Pride can be our enemy We both know the cost
So tell me if you're having Second thoughts
We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost we can't find
Our way back home
Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye

Years should count for something
Tears can't be in vain
To let this go so easy would be a shame

We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost that we can't find
Our way back home
Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
If leaving is the answer
Why does this feel so bad
Should we really walk away
From everything we had

Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds, no
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye

Silence Is King

3:32

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

She tests every word like a fine wine
She holds every thought like her last dime
You can hear a pin drop from miles away
You can hear a heart stop as plain as day
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here

Where are the dreams we were after
Where is the joy and the laughter
Were they only habits we were doomed to lose
Or is destiny not ours to choose

We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Desperate measures come from desperate times
I don't regret what I have done
If my actions made you speak your mind
Angry words are better than none

We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here

It's after midnight - you lie awake
Counting the hours till daybreak
What can you do now, where can you go
When you're about at the end of your rope
You can...

Drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that run down bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry - of a blue guitar

Drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that run down bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry - of a blue guitar

It's where the lonely people go
When they just can't take no more
You'll see what heartache is all about
And you can cry till you're cried out
When you...

Drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that run down bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry - of a blue guitar

You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that run down bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love

Black Water Bayou

3:31

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

Growin' up on the bayou can drive you outta your mind.
Marie was a youngin' when she left the Black Water behind.
It all happened one night
In the back of Jimmy's car
Jimmy said 'Marie, your so pretty,well you oughta be a movie star.'
So she packed up her backwood streams
Stole her mama's Mabeline
And took the train to New Orleans
And swore she was never gonna go
Back to the Black Water Bayou

Mama said, 'Child, don't go back on your raisin
'There ain't no place in the city for a pretty little backstreet cagian'
'The long hard nights, will leave you cold.'
'And there's a devil 'round every corner tryin' to buy your soul.'
And with no where to go, and nothin' to eat
She got a job dancin' down on Urban Street
But the shoes she's wearin' on her feet
Don't dance like they danced with Jimmy Lavoe
Back on the Black Water Bayou

In the heat of the night
It was the very last show
She walked onto the stage with her heart and her head hung low
She started to cry (cry)
As the curtain rolled
She found herself lookin' in the Black Water eyes of Jimmy Lavoe
Well he picked up her shattered dreams
On that stage in New Orleans
Said, 'Marie, don't you think it's time to go'
'Back to the Black Water Bayou?'

Strong Enough To Bend

3:47

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

There's a tree out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
And the reason it's still standin'
It was strong enough to bend.

For years we have stayed together,
As lovers and as friends.
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you say somethin' that you can't take back,
A big wind blows and you hear a crack.
When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong,"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)

Like a tree
(Like a tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
Will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you start thinkin' that you know it all,
A big wind blows and a branch will fall.
When you say "Hey, this job takes two,"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)

Like the tree
(Like the tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.

As Long As There's A Heartbeat

4:11

from Tanya Tucker - Soon (2003)

There's a full moon up above tonight
But I don't know if it will always shine
And I can't say tomorrow it won't rain
One thing that I know will never change

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you

Through good and bad you stand right by my side
Through all the ups and downs we face in life
We'll grow old and silver haired someday
Youth may pass but love will still remain

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you

Time goes by it can make you feel alone
The future's so uncertain
But there's one thing you should know

As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And I'll give all my love to you, I'll give all my love to you

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I hear you've got a reputation in town,
For takin' all the young girls an' breakin' them down.
You're givin' me an invitation to stay,
But boy, you know, my heart says I oughtta be runnin' away.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I guess it's my turn,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well you've got some kind of magic in your big brown eyes,
Where'd you ever learn how to hypnotise?
Just like in romance books that I've read.
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade of my canopy bed.
Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna see how strong I am.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,
Then you've cast them aside.
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be just another love in your life.

Well, I've never been hurt, so I'll see what it's worth,
I'm gonna give your love a try.

Another love, just another love,
I don't wanna be just another love,
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart,

One Love At A Time

from Tanya Tucker - Country Classics (2003)

It makes me weak
and in a hurry
All night long I lay
and I worry
I'm so afraid I'm gonna talk in my sleep
Who do I love
Who am I using
Which one is which can get so confusing
I've got to chose one and set the other one free

One love at a time thats all I can handle
Burning both ends of the candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
and one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time

Ones got a birthday
Its in December
Which ones in July
I can't remember
I get em mixed up
What am I gonna do
It keeps me uptight
driving me crazy
They're both believing
They're both my baby
Sometimes I wonder
Whos been playing with who

One love at a time thats all I can handle
Burning both ends of the candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
and one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time
Yes it can tear this girl apart
I just need one love at a time

San Antonio Stroll

2:56

from Tanya Tucker - Country Classics (2003)

When I was a child down in South Carolin'
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin' to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a'singin' the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They'd be hummin' a song,
Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl.
Like the San Antonio Stroll.

Well the day finally come
When my momma said hun
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll.

I've been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.

What's Your Mama's Name, Child

3:13

from Tanya Tucker - Country Classics (2003)

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions

'Til one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson

What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question

And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter

That said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
What's your mama's name child...
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name

Blood Red And Going Down

3:13

(Claude Putman Jr)

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

Daddy said: "Now come girl, we're headin' down the road to Augusta."
An thinkin' through his clenched teeth, he called Mama's name, then he cussed her.
He said: "Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along and stole your mother."
Ah, but you can't steal a willin' mind whose mom is always lookin' for a lover.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

With dusty teardrops in his face, my daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'.
An' halfway runnin' to keep up, my shorter legs were so tired and shakin'.
"Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child with tears never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

We searched in every bar room, an' honky-tonk as well.
An' finally Daddy found them, but Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell.
He sent me out to wait, but scared, I looked back through the door.
An' Daddy left them both soakin' up the sawdust on the floor.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.

Ok Officer, I Admit it,

But before you write me up
let me tell you the reason.
I wasn't tryin' to out run you,
I was chasin' a guy who outta
the blue, he committed a crime
back about a mile or two.

I was crusin' along, when he
pulled up outta no where.
He was hotter than the truck
he drove, and just one lane over.
He aimed those angel eyes at me,
smiled like we were ment to be.
'For he stole my heart from a
moving car.

(CHORUS)

It was highway robbery, He
grabbed my heart and took
off on the run.
It was highway robbery, he
oughta do time in my arms
for what he's done.

So, hey officer, how 'bout

turn your blue light on and
help me catch that bandit.

He's got somethin' that
belongs to T. I can't let him
get away scott free, for it's
only right that he's mine tonight.

( REPEAT CHORUS x2)

He ought to do time in my
arms for what he' done.

It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

I didn't think that he'd leave me
After saying how much he needs me
But the fact still remains
I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
Lord it's about to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest peice of heaven I've ever known

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

As I walk through his kingdom
Of honkey-tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me
And comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath
He had a soothing southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry

But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no;
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing:

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold.
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home.
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy,
I wish there was a way I could make her realise.

That if it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

Let it go, though it's hard I know;
Let it loose, I tell you, it's no use.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it,
You better let it go.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.

Strong Enough To Bend

2:46

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker Love Songs (2006)

There's a tree out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
And the reason it's still standin'
It was strong enough to bend.

For years we have stayed together,
As lovers and as friends.
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you say somethin' that you can't take back,
A big wind blows and you hear a crack.
When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong,"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)

Like a tree
(Like a tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
Will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

When you start thinkin' that you know it all,
A big wind blows and a branch will fall.
When you say "Hey, this job takes two,"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)

Like the tree
(Like the tree)
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.
Our love
(Our love)
will last forever,
If we're strong enough to bend.

If Your Heart Ain't Busy Tonight

3:07

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker Love Songs (2006)

If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine.
If your heart ain't busy tonight,
I could keep it occupied for a long, long time.

If your lips ain't got something pressing to do,
If your arms aren't held up, they're invited too.
If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine, anytime.

Well it's kind of you, to lend me an ear.
That's a start but I believe
If I could only get the rest of you over here,
Then all of you might fall in love with, all of me.
If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine, anytime.

Oh yeah.

If your feet are restless for somewhere to go,
And your eyes want something more to see.
Why don't you let them lead the rest of you to my door,
So all of you can fall in love with, all of me.

If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine.
If your heart ain't busy tonight,
I could keep it occupied for a long, long time.
Yes I could.

If your lips ain't got something pressing to do,
If your arms aren't held up, they're invited too.
If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine, anytime.

If your heart ain't busy tonight,
Maybe it would like to get with mine...uh huh.

My Arms Stay Open All Night

3:37

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker Love Songs (2006)

(Paul Overstreet/Don Schlitz)

I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun.
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung.
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know,
When all the laughter's ended, there's still somewhere you can go.

My arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind.
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time.
So if it's after midnight, or just before the break of day,
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

When all your so-called friends go home,
You don't ever have to be alone.

'Cos my arms stay open all night,
From sundown 'til the morning light.
Hopin' you can find where you belong,
I leave the lights on.
My heart is never closed,
You're the only love it knows.
The one dream I have is to hold you tight:
My arms stay open all night.

My arms stay open all night.

Two Sparrows In A Hurricane

4:11

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker Love Songs (2006)

She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

CHORUS:
two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills
They can't pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

go to chorus

She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

go to chorus 2

CHORUS 2:
Like two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way

What's Your Mama's Name

3:02

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name

Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking 'bout a rose that use to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
Until one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl

What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name

Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the county jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickels worth of candy if she'd tell

A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old mans ragged coat they found a faded letter
It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green

What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name

What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name

Blood Red And Goin' Down

3:02

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

chorus:
That Georgia Sun was blood red and goin' down.
That Georgie Sun was blood red and goin' down.

Daddy said "now come on girl we're headed down the road to Augusta"
And faintly through his clenched teeth he called momma's name
And then he cussed her
He said "girl you're young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother
But you can't steal no will and mind
'Cause momma's always lookin' for a lover"

Repeat Chorus

With dusty tear drops on his face
My daddy cried in big steps he was takin'
Halfway running to keep up
My shorter legs, were so tired and shakin'
"Where did I go wrong girl
And why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child of ten never knows exactly what to say

Repeat Chorus

We searched in every bar room and honky tonk as well
And finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know the rest is hard to tell
He sent me out to wait
But scared, I looked back through the door
And daddy left them both soaking up the sawdust on the floor.

Repeat Chorus x2

The Jamestown Ferry (Album)

2:55

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

I didn't think that he'd leave me
After saying how much he needs me
But the fact still remains
I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
Lord it's about to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest peice of heaven I've ever known

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be

As I walk through his kingdom
Of honkey-tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me
And comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath
He had a soothing southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone was all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be
If he ever left me

The Man That Turned My Mama On

2:54

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

I wish I'd known the man a little better
that turned my mama on
he must have been a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady don't you know

Mama was no prude but she was proper
never wore her dress too short
she didn't care if you did
but she'd have never taken a drink
Grandma Kate did the best she could
To see mama grew up right
so she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'
and to wear some gentleman's ring

Chorus:
I wish I'd known the man a little better
that turned my mama on
he was always laughing
and singing the right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better
the turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

I hear he came to town one day
in a rusty old '49 Ford
selling lady's shoes and assorted greeting cards
he was killing good looking
and easy to like
and turning all the ladies' heads
but he saw mama first
and Lord knows how some of them travelin men are

Chorus

Mama seemed to forget the things
that Grandma Kate had always told her
she ran away one night with a traveling man
they bought gas at Rita's truck stop
and drove to Dasota County
but he brought her home with a ring upon her hand
mama's told me how the fever took him
when I was barely 5
but I remember him pitchin' me up
and catchin' me
and I love to sit and listen to her
tell me about my daddy
she says he thought the sun would surely
rise and set in me

I wish I'd known the man a little better
that turned my mama on
he must have been a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady don't you know
I wish I'd known the man a little better
the turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again

3:02

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at fourty four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor share-croppers shack
The Jacksons down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black

But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shacks stood once before
I see sons and daughters of share-croppers
But they're not picking cotton anymore

But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing 'cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood

Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh, but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again

Greener Than The Grass [WE LAID ON,]

2:50

from Tanya Tucker - Tanya Tucker / Super Hits (1998)

He paints quite a picture for the girls in my home town
And I was no exception to the rule
Singing all them songs about the places that he's been
Made a body feel just like a fool
My pride was like the paper bag that once held the wine
Thrown without no caution to the wind
He left me like the empty bottle lying on the ground
Swearing he would pick me up again

And I was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess I should have known
That old highway was his home
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

He said that I was prettier than Paris in the rain
Lord, he filled me full of gypsy lies
Swearing that he'd come back to fetch me in the Spring
Too ashamed to look me in the eye
Well I find about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
Sneaking in the house at 3 a.m.
Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure
Her intuition told her where I'd been

And I was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess I should have known
That old highway was his home
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

Well, I was up all night well wonderin' what to do,
Thinkin' that I oughta just forget about you,
But it's a little too late;
Well, it's a little too late.
When you walked in I shoulda walked out.
Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now.

Well, the whole town told me you're a heart break king;
Guess I oughta pay attention when they say those things.
Well, it's a little too late.
Well, it's a little too late.
I know all my old buddies wanna help me out,
But it's a little too late to do the right thing now.

Turn the jukebox up throw some sawdust down.
I'm too far gone to turn this heart around.
I may be wrong but I don't walk out;
Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now.

Turn the jukebox up an' throw some sawdust down.

You can run for cover
You can run for help

No matter how far you go
You can run to Alaska
Run to L.A
Run home to mama
But you
Can't ever run from yourself

No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go

No matter how far you go
No matter how long you stay
You can run forever
But darling you will never
Never find true happiness that way
You can run for election
You can run for your life
Run for protection
But you
Can't ever run from yourself
No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go
Oh no

No matter how far you go
No matter how long you stay
You can run forever
But darling you will never
Never find true happiness that way

Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me all about your broken heart

You say you need someone to hold you tight
Ya can't stand another lonely night
Well come closer and
Tell me about it

Love isn't always true it hurts sometimes
Your tears will tell on you girl, I'm not blind
I know what you're goin' through
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder cry on mine

Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me all about your broken heart

You say you need someone to hold you tight
Ya can't stand another lonely night
Well come closer and
Tell me about it

You took a lesson in playin' a fool
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder cry on mine

Tell me about it

Tell me about it

Ya can't stand another lonely night

I've Learned To Live

-

from Tanya Tucker - Can't Run From Yourself (1992)

Like a child lost in the wilderness
I knew not where to go
Surrounded by the emptiness
Of a love that left me cold
I stumbled through that darkness
Of nights that have no stars
And days that have no sunshine
To warm my naked heart
Like a bird in flight brought down by stones
From an unknown assailant's sling
A stranger took you from my arms
And I lost everything
In days to come I nearly ran
?
Out of ways to stay alive
But through it all I never lost
The will to survive (and)

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you
Like a thief who takes just what he needs
And leaves the rest behind
You took the heart right out of me
And left me with my mind
And I've almost went out of it
At times believed I did
But gradually I learned you're someone
I'll have to live with ('cause)

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you

from Tanya Tucker - Can't Run From Yourself (1992)

Out of the shoot he sits tall as the timber
One hand on the horse and one hand on the sky
Eight seconds later he lands in the money
And winning's a feeling that money can't buy
The kids love a hero and big silver buckles
The girls love the dream of a rodeo man
He loves the backroads and fields without fences
And I guess he loves me because I understand

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider

A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
Winter in Tuscon and spring in Savanna
Reno in June then off to Cheyenne
He remembers the fall that he took last September
He's hopin' he draws that ol' burr again
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rode girl by his side

Lately he's talking about having a son
Someone who'll learn from the things that he's done
A young bronc bustin' a-buckaroo

A trailer behind an old white Eldorado
A red western sunset and a blue mountain range
Some things in this life he'd like to do over
But livin' with him is something I'd never change

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider

I warned you baby, a long time ago
You got to stop all this, hurtin' me so
But, I don't think you heard a word I said
Well I'm telling you now honey
That there's danger ahead
Treating me bad, telling me lies
That ain't cool baby, that ain't wise
You've been running around, spending all of my bread
You better change your ways now
'Cause there's danger ahead

Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned
They should've told you that on the day you was borned
Better watch your step now, be careful where you tread
I'm telling you this baby
That there's danger ahead

Can't understand why you want to do me wrong
Straighten up baby, or you'll find me gone
I gonna love you, that's sure enough
But if you're looking for trouble, well I can get tough
I'm gonna quit all my cryin', dry all the tears that I shed
Yea I'm warning you baby that there's danger ahead
Well, I'm warning you baby that there's danger ahead
Oh, I'm warning you baby that there's danger ahead

Come In Out Of The World

-

from Tanya Tucker - Fire To Fire (1995)

(Don Schlitz/Billy Livsey)

Everybody talk a bit too fast today
Did everybody say "we need it now"
Did they leave you wishing
You could vanish in thin air
And when you found out you couldn't
Then you found your way here

Come in out of the world
From out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world
Where everything's judged in black and white
Let me take your coat and hat
And lay them on the shelf
And you can be yourself

Come in out of the world
Where everyone swears that they're your friend
Come in out of the world
Out where they use you again and again

Let me pour a glass or two
There's nowhere else to be
There's no one here but me
Come in

You don't need permission
To say what's on your mind
I'm willing to listen
If you're willing to take the time

Come in out of the world
From out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world
Just let it go and hold me tight
And if you look into my heart
Before the night is through
You'll see the place I've saved for you
Come in out of the world
Come in out of the world
Come in

I'll Take The Memories

-

from Tanya Tucker - Fire To Fire (1995)

(Charlie Craig/Keith Stegall)

There's a moving van out in the drive
It's time to divide everything up
We've taken down the bed
Where so many nights we made love
We've gone through everything
And given back the rights
We once cherished
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
I know we had some bad times
But our good times were the best
There's so many keepsakes
After' all we've been through
But I'll take the memories
If I can't have you

I don't know just what I'll do
I've been so used to loving you
Such a long time
Even though I'll try
There's no way that I'll get you off my mind
So while we're packing up our lives
And saying our goodbyes I want to telI you
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
I know we had some bad times
But our good times were the best
There's so many keepsakes
After' all we've been through
But I'll take the memories
If I can't have you

I Bet She Knows

-

from Tanya Tucker - Fire To Fire (1995)

(Paul Thorn/Billy Maddox)

She wouldn't know me if she saw me
And you'd turn your head if you did
She'll never know how much you loved me
Or what kind of love we had
Or what kind of love we had

You threw away all our pictures
But the memories won't go away
She's asking questions that you don't have to answer
It's written all over your face, yes
It's written all over your face

I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you can not hide
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind

Late in the midnight hour
When you're doing what lovers do
There's still a desire deep down inside
That's just between me and you, yea
It's just between me and you

Now don't you ever feel guilty
Giving just half of your heart
Holdin' on to your foolish pride
Is just keeping us apart.
Yea, it's just keeping us apart

In the cool of the night
When the howling wind calls my name
You can run to her arms
But it's not the same
It's just not the same

If It Don't Come Easy

(Dave Gibson/Craig Karp)

I know a man, a good friend of mine;
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right.
But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no;
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing:

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold.
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home.
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy,
I wish there was a way I could make her realise.

That if it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.

Let it go, though it's hard I know;
Let it loose, I tell you, it's no use.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it,
You better let it go.

If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
