She never had too much of money Friendly strangers were all she knew Nobody ever came to call but you I would not say she isn't happy Though the eyes of a fool Will make her blue Nobody's ever seen the tears It's true I guess nobody wanted to We'll h...

When you go down on a Monday, Tuesday never comes Nobody likes a hero when they don't know how to run And if you drown on a Sunday, the sermon's never done Nobody likes a user when he's eating up the sun I've been away down Dixie in my old Kentucky home Nob...

In the hour before sunrise when the shadows hustle home and the owls dream of day-break and the redwoods softly moan I have often begged for magic to bring my true love home. but the sunrise only shows how well my garden grows in the heat of a single blood-red...

Take me to the light Take me to the mystery of life Take me to the light Let me see the edges of the night He's got the answer - we'll live forever Take me to the light, give me what i crave He knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming Take me to the light An...

If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd be a country star With rhinestones on my BVD's And a hummingbird guitar I'd buy myself the biggest bus That ever graced the track With a loveseat for the two of us And a swimming pool in back If I had boots like Emmy...

And when the war was over I went dancing in the streets With the corpse of my dead brother To the sacrificial beat The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires Come home from overseas Singing Glory Hallelujah! To the swank Gestapo beat Hallelujah I've never been In the...

Come into my solitude Though I weary be Come into my tenderness Dream along with me Listen to the whispers sing Listen to the singers shout Come into my solitude Me and my big mouth Thoughts unspoken, thoughts unsaid Lies of hearth and home Childr...

Bright lights and promises A pocket full of dreams That's what they pay me to be Gold lame' and diamonds I'm a hometown queen Honey, would you sing it just for me? When I was good, then I was bad I never thought I'd end up this way With no dreams to hide me B...

Caleb Brown was a mighty fine man and his skin was the color of the good rich land He bought a slope-eared mule named dan and broke a little piece of ground Cleared the place with his own bare hands Made cotton grow in the rocks and sand Thought he'd found the...

Let me go on Never know your name How can you be strong? Everyone can see she's insane. All my life I've waited for the one to ease the pain All my life, I've waited for someone to take the blame And now you're gone Even the sun's calling your name ~~~♫♫♫ ~~~...

Can you reach me? Would you teach me to be free? Is it such an easy thing, to be a friend? Can you reach me? Would you teach me to be free? Have you got a helping hand to lend? It's okay - I know you're trying to wait hoping time will hesitate as you sit down...

Don't let the sun go down on me I do not want to be alone tonight We'll be right, you'll see Night is a shadow on the soul And if you want to set me wholly free Stay by me tonight I've been afraid of love Knowing I need you to stay I've been ashamed to love Kn...

I can't believe so much could go so wrong It seems like every door is closed to me I wake every morning resolved to be strong I tell myself I keep good company I can't believe that this is my life There's always been someone to shelter me Now I'm out there on...

I haven't been loved by a man in quite a while You know it ain't easy making me smile Friends have their lovers, men on a string There must be something terribly wrong with me Sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything How do you do? Would you like to b...

Why would you want to be like everyone else? Be what you want to be, just keep it to yourself Why should you be pretty, like some concubine? Ain’t it a pity to make beauty your shrine and leave your soul behind Leave your soul behind Leave your soul behind la...

I was only twenty-nine and lonely as a bull moose in heat when he came along, singing that same old song I said, You know I'm entering my prime Thirty-one to thirty-nine Bet you've read the articles, too Statistically speaking, my hormones are creeping I can...
