I feel so bad I've got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou Saving nickels and saving dimes working till the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou I'm going back some day come wh...

Feelings are strange especially when they come true And I had a feeling you'd be leaving soon So I tried to rearrange all my emotions But it seems the same no matter what I do Blue umbrella rest upon my shoulder And hides the pain while the rain makes up...

Buford T. Justice, Fearless law of Texas The man who chased the Bandit coast to coast Buford T. Justice, now you've up and left us Where are you Justice, when we need you the most? Some say you're a lunatic Some say you're a buffoon Some say you're a fo...

Love is funny or it's sad, Or it's quiet or it's mad, It's a good thing or it's bad, But beautiful! Beautiful to take a chance And if you fall, you fall, And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all. Love is tearful or it's gay. It's a problem or i...

Were there never quite enough Sundays Did I leave out a birthday or two Did I make too much of mere holiday fluff When a rose just on Tuesday would do Did I say often enough you look pretty Did I tell you you meant everything Did I ever say you still tak...

We don't dance the two-step anymore. All we need's a small part of the floor. The band can go on playin' almost anything it wants. When you fall in love everything's a waltz. Eyes were meant for lookin' into way up close. Arms were meant for holdin' what...

There was only me and her and him The bar was giving last call so I thought I'd move on in And I was slick and feeling like a man so I took the stool between 'em And ordered one more round for me and her and him I placed my arms across the back of her bars...

Second day of third grade, Three Oaks Elementary She sat in the first row, I was all the way across the room It might as well have been the far side of the moon I had to get her attention, she wouldn't look at me I waited for the bell to ring, and when we...

Soft rain kissing the fallen leaves night wind harmonizing with whispering trees Of pretty sounds I've heard the sweetest I think maybe Is when she sings to the baby I look around at riches by which some men measure But all their wealth I see can never ma...

At the door at five a.m. Off to bust my back again And here you are, kissing me goodbye Suddenly the day at hand Doesn't seem to be so bad Once again, you make things alright How do you do that You find diamonds in the drops of rain that fall While I...

They call her a hundred dollar lady I don't really know what she's worth But ever since she walked Into this honky tonk I've counted all my money wantin' her Two fives, three ones, and two quarters And this cold glass of beer I just paid for And I could...

From time, to time I've almost can mask myself there I was over you And I've even pretend their intended We never really happy on any way But sometimes, like now, I realize I'm missing you But then I really didn't have a thing to do today Called up some...

Before the snow flies and summer dies the wildbirds fly away Before the winter falls the spirit calls and warns 'em not to stay And this morning something's warning me our love affair is through So I believe before you leave I'd best be leaving you Well I...

Oh Lord if I could just go home I'd do things different from now on There wouldn't be near the gray in my old daddy's hair Oh Lord if I could just go home I know it wasn't daddy's fault that mama died when I was just a kid And the best that he could do to...

Suzane and I said out goodbye Some time ago on a north Kentucky farm I walked away from a steer one day I return with the moon, and the stars Left her standing all alone Forty miles from nowhere in a bluegrass field Waving goodbye, tears in her eyes Wa...

This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz Voices sound sad as they're singing along another piece of America's lost He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beer His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fen...

Take the last train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the station You can be there by four-thirty cause I've made you reservation Don't be slow oh no no no I love you so Cause I'm leaving in the morning and I must see you again We'll have one more night...

Tonight I prayed I'll lay me down to sleep And know I pray the lord my mind where keep Or at least just let me die, before I wake Cause my life is the only thing you didn't take You left me with one thing I can't use And everything I treasured, left with...

Just as sure as there's gold in California A jukebox in Tesas guitars down in Tennessee Just as sure as a peach grows in Georgia We gonna make it love's found you and me It's been a long time long time to comin' and you tried other so have I But love nev...

Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks, Make'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone,...

This very night the train was right on time Baby stepped aboard and left the both of us behind now You've got to make your day and I've got to make my way Somehow someway away from you Memphis morning She's to me what sunshine is to you Her train cross th...

The lashes that she bats Above those big blue eyes are real The nails she scratches my back with are hers She's soft and warm all over No silicone landscaping She keeps me straight with all those curves The good Lord used the best parts When he put thi...

My first taste of Texas had blue eyes and golden hair. Beneath the Tennessee silver moon, we found a feeling we could share. And days made no difference, I'd been around and she was young. But my first taste of Texas still lingers in my heart and on my tong...

If you want to hear a love song, I could sing one If you wanna feel the fire, we could build one If you need to catch a rainbow, we could chase one If you want to be together, we could be one One and one, I've always heard adds up to two But one and one...

here was a time I really thought it did some good To get down on my knees to you and I would But baby now that's all changed today's a brand new day You ain't worth the price I had to stay Just because you're the best looking woman that I've ever seen Ai...

I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain Crying softly in her loneliness and pain Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me And she told me as I held her trembling hand Walking slowly how she'd never known a man Living lonely in her cottage by the sea W...

Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone Lookin' for some greener grass, I left my lone star home...

When I die, I may not go to heaven. I don't know if they let cowboys in. If they don't, just let me go to Texas, 'Cause Texas is as close as I've been. New York couldn't hold my attention. Detroit City couldn't sing my song. If tomorrow finds me busted...

I'd sure like to help you, but I've heard it all before I'm sorry I can't tell you why she'd walk out that door All these years behind this bar, I've saved not one yet I haven't healed a broken heart, or helped one soul to forget But it's all on the jukeb...

He could never pay her back For all she's done for him She never asked for more Than what he could afford to spend back then And when the business got him down She wouldn't let him quit She'd say, "I believe someday you'll make it big All you need's a h...

Sometimes I look at you, lookin at me I can't believe what I see A woman's love who keeps some givin me The kind of love I tought could never be The best words of love cannot compare With the sprinkle of the stardust in your hair And mallories in shame t...

It wasn't me, and I know it wasnt her We just ran out the ways, to make it work If I could hate her like I love her God you know, that's what I do But the last thing she said, was I love you And just like that She left her memory behind to slowly learn...

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 I did, but she'd have never...

He was born, in three quarter time When a guitar is play flat The world sing out of to him A hundred years late but ahead of his time and I swear not a minute too soon They thought he was crazy Cause he talk to walls At once nobody listened Except m...

How could I have known back at the start The day might ever come when you would break my heart Well, here it is but damned if you will ever know Not a trace of what I feel inside will ever show I'm not the first and I won't be the last I can only judge y...

This old hat's hung on the bedpost too long Forgotten like some used to be remembered like a song Where all the words are so easy to recall Hmm, this old hat It's seen day fade to night in an open sky Beneath the fury of the heavens Kept the rain out of...

I walked into a tavern to have a drink and kill some time A little boy approached me with tears in his eyes He wasn't more that five or six but he stood like a man With a tiny golden locket clutched in his little hand He opened up the locket I saw a pictu...

I stole her from Emmett Fry, and now what's done is done. Like any man I'm afraid to die, but I'm hurt too bad to run. I ran with her to Walker's Woods with him close on my heels; I knew he'd kill to get her back, and I know just how he feels. Oh, the sun...

If I could find the strenght I need to do the thing I should I just walk on out that door be rid of you for good But a man ain't always strong enough to tell himself that he's been wrong Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone If I had only...

Lord, put your hand to the handle of my hoe Let me make another step, help me go another row Even know I'm tired, got to try to make a dollar For my wife and kids, living over in the holler Every morning I get up and look at the sky And I know if I'm gon...

You don't see him much on the big screen anymore Kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene That ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat And some Frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans He's still out there riding fences Still makes a living wi...

Baby deep in the night You touch me when the mood is right And You reach out and switch on the light in me. Something starts to glowing sad and I feel the heat start to rise, I'm as helpless as any man could be. You turn me on like a radio, Baby then you...

There's no way back cause we've come too far We'll watch the last bridge burn in a midnight fire Any thought of saying good night was lost when we closed the door And I'm sure You're not leavin' here tonight not till I hold you tight Not till the sun burn...

Oh there were others and some were friends And some were merrily lovers But they all helped me discover It's so hard to find someone who'll be true And I said no way, would I fall again oh no, no way There's just too many heartaches And I don't like the...
