I see you walking up 14th Street, and you don't know That I'm walking right behind you, walking real slow I don't want to catch up with you 'cause once we got started We'd have to see it through I see you on the street, you kiss my cheek My knees go weak It's...

All the girls are complicated All the girls will work you hard And they break their hearts It's just who they are They're just working out who they are All my friends are raving mad Make me so crazy but you know I'm glad That I've got someone I can lean upon...

Excuse me for living Don’t mind if I do I hope all is forgiven You know I’d do the same for you CHORUS: But if it’s true what they say Someone must pay I’ll bear my share of pain but I won’t take all the blame If it’s all the same to you I used to l...

Tonight they're singing in the villas Tomorrow you'll be gone so far Hold me close and say you love me While Amigo plays his blue guitar Aye-aye, aye-aye, the moon is lonely Tomorrow I'll wonder where you are Manana morning, my darling I'll be blue as Amigo's...

Your father said We'll leave the land and love behind Have no regrets Our life is on the other side But words have a cost words'll bring grief Words you have lost, words you believed And still… Your father said The poorest man should love his life With no reg...

See the sign of the old hotel, we used to stay there Empty and threadbare, water running cold Searched the streets for old friends, met only strangers None who remember, none who would take me home I miss the bees, I miss the honey I miss them humming by...

I feel like a big wheel I feel like a big wheel I've gotta' roll, I've gotta' cover a lotta' road, I've gotta' go home. I feel like an old freight train I feel like an old freight train I've gotta' roll, I've gotta' shovel load of coal, I've gotta'...

Your mama wasn’t one to mess around with Had a fleet of cars and all those flashy clothes Taught you the discipline of doing what she told Kept her fist around the money tightly closed She had all you kids to think of One more precious than the rest Big broth...

Why try to stay when I can see that there's no reason to? My heart is strong and my feet can move if I tell them to. Time will tell and time will take it's toll on you. My heart can rue, even if I don't want it to. Those Churches off the Interstate, Cann...

You keep all your aces so close to your chest How many more fell today? You overcame fortune and overlooked fame How many more fell today? Tell me your reasons for fighting Tell me your kindness has saved the day Tell me I'm overexcited How many more fell tod...

Do you ever think of me, Do I ever cross your mind, Do you ever ask yourself, What's she doing tonight. Chorus. There's this crazy thing in my head, I don't know if it's true, Whenever you're thinking 'bout me, I'm thinking 'bout you. Verse two....

Don't break the heart that needs you There's nowhere you can go but down if you do To turn your back on someone Will make you sorry, I can guarantee you Don't make the fatal error Of thinking you'll find someone better Cause you won't Don't break the heart tha...

The three years that I loved you, Were the best years, oh, the early days. Yes, those early days, when I hung around, Followed you around, tryin' to catch the sound, Of your warm voice come through my radio. I went to the nightclubs, and the studios. And someh...

Let me sing you a song about Vegas town and poor old Howard Hughes Locked up there in his hotel suite trying to find his shoes He's got so much to lose… Poor old Howard Hughes and all his blues The nurses and the chauffeurs stand around and sigh They mop the...

I can't tell my heart that you are no good I'd give this world if only I could You cheated and lied, and you left me flat I know it's true but I can't tell my heart that Oh, my foolish heart, why won't you believe When someone is gone, it's no use to grieve?...

I don't claim to be an angel My life's been full of sin But when I met you, darling That all came to an end Never doubt my love, dear No matter what you do I don't claim to be an angel But my love for you is true You'll hear talk around this town Of the thin...

Tomorrow was to be my wedding day But I gave my wedding dress away Another will be holding my bouquet Oh, I gave my wedding dress away My baby sister wanted him So she took my place It's worth a broken heart to see That smile upon her face I've cared for her...

As I sit here tonight, the jukebox's playing The tune about 'The Wild Side Of Life' As I listen to the words that you are saying It brings memories when I was a trusting wife It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels Like you said in the words of your song Too...

Khaki and corduroy Leather jackets on the boys Denim with a worn out place on the pocket Open faces with knowing looks Your heavy satchel full of books Smiles tucked away in mamas lockets Sometimes I see their faces in the most unlikely places You play it st...

I used to take the subway to 42nd and Broadway Check my downtown mailbox Check my downtown mailbox Always felt much better when I got a letter In my downtown mailbox In my downtown mailbox Send me a letter Send it to me when you want to reach me Might be in...

Mick said that time was on my side, So I waited and wondered, If I could ever be satisfied, I wonder. Don't want to smother you, uncover you, Discover you quite yet. Just wanna get next to you, confess to you, You're all that's on my mind. Right now,...

Oh I've just come from the land of the sun From a war that must be won in the name of truth With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save With our rifles and grenades and some help from God I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me I've...

Making believe that you still love me It's leaving me alone and so blue Still I'll always dream, I'll never own you Making believe is all I can do I can't hold you close, darling, when you're not with me You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine Making bel...

She left her home on the mountain as a young girl. And she travelled and rambled all through the wide world. And the world was Kentucky, and then Tennessee, West Virginia to Texas, everything in between. And her name would be different from place to place,...

I was sittin' in the dark As the band played on Listenin' to the words Of an old Southern song It was a January day But it felt just like June I could feel the heat of the house gettin' late in the day Your hand in mine as we made our way Cool green grass as...

You can play master but I won't wear your chains. Throw out your dreams, and tell me what remains. Shake your power in my face, but leave your threats behind. Oh, no, no, no, I'm not the tremblin' kind. You want me to get down on my knees. And beg for ju...

For these many years, I've loved you, No-one has ever known. No-one has ever known but you alone. We've kept it locked inside our hearts, And smiled through all the tears. My Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years. Each night, within my lonely roo...

I went for a walk in my old downtown To the top of the hill and I turned around Train yard's not what it used to be The station's still standing by the factories Wendell's serving up the meat and three The tower lights read L & C Stood by the stone for th...

One by one we broke each vow we made It was you who lied It was me who paid As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun We'll pay for our lies one by one My plans and hopes have tumbled down My castle of dreams plunged to the ground How can you face me aft...

She was the Queen of the Coast back in nineteen sixty five, Prettier 'n most, she could keep a room alive, With the catch in her voice and the beehive on her head. Do you remember anything she ever said. Well, some stars fade faster than the rest, And th...

Roll truck roll; bring my baby back to me I'm getting tired of waiting and I'm much too lonely Use those 18 wheels and all the speed that you can muster Roll him on home I used to think it was your fault that he would leave me But I can see he loves us both c...

Sam Stone came home To his wife and family After serving in the conflict overseas And the time that he served Had shattered all his nerves And left a little shrapnel in his knee But the morphine eased the pain And the grass grew 'round his brain And gave him...

You ask me, stranger, why I made this journey Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves Like many others, my darling was killed in action So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave Somewhere here among these many thousands Of Americans who all died...

Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Don't leave me I cry Don't take that airplane ride But you've locked me out of your mind And...

Far and wide I'll search for my baby I won't let pride stand in my way This heart inside will always love him And somewhere some night Among the neon lights I'll find my baby My only plan is to search again Each night when lights are blue I'd let him go but...

It was a beautiful idea when it started, It hit so hard, I never thought it through. Leaving the west side of town, way on up riverside rushing down, that's the freest moment a city girl knew. I've got the beauty of the moment, passed so quickly, Now...

Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are. If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far. Now the haze has lifted I can see. That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be. I started slow and steady, I went...

I've been sittin' all night, Listenin' to my records, Makin' up my mind. I'd call you up, But I'm never on time, And it's too late for tonight. If you weren't so far away, I'd just ring you up: Got a lot to say. But the city sky, Soon will see it's first l...

I sit alone at my table and watch all the others have fun And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track a watchin' the mainline run I'm tired of havin' no future just livin' on things that I've done And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track a watchin' the...

Trains and boats and planes are passing by They mean a trip to Paris or Rome For someone else, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me We were so in love, and high above We had a star to wish upon Wish and dreams come tr...

I met a guy in a west coast town, had four walls to bring him down. And he sometimes speaks of you, the way that you want him to. Late at night he’d reminisce, over the lips he used to kiss. And his hand upon your hip, why don’t you send him a line. Cause...

Some you'll get over, some you never let go. Some you'll forget and some, you'll always know. Some memories linger, some memory's hard to recall. Over and over you'll find you laugh through it all.(All.) All the temptations, All. (All.) All the relation...

I never saw it coming, somehow I never knew The last one to know that you were on to something new Tried to say I was sorry for the things I did Apologies fall flat, I watch my words drop dead You're so far ahead of me Wait I'm coming Wait Stop runni...

Well, they're strollin' in the gloamin', When the roses are in bloom. A soldier and his sweetheart, brave and true. And their hearts are filled with sorrow, For their thoughts are of tomorrow, As she pins a rose upon his coat of blue. "Do not ask me, lo...

Where does a little tear come from? Where does a little tear come from? It comes from a heart that's been broken apart That's where a little tear comes from. Where does the broken heart come from? Where does the broken heart come from? It comes when you find...

Wishing I could see you again dear, That the fire of love would burn once more; But I guess that's wishful thinking, And too much to be wishing for. Just thinking of how you once kissed me, Wishing that it hadn't meant good-bye; But I guess that's wishful thi...

Hopped a freight train out of Nashville, rode it up to Ohio. Made my way to Detroit City where I stayed a week or so. Hauled a ride to Chicago with a truck drivin' man. An' I stayed there for the summer, singin' with a Country band. Every time I hear a fre...
