In Texas, many places for a love to roam Without a trace So this is Texas, so this is ache So this is Texas on your knees now don’t you break Always knew I’d knew I’d roam Slip out in the night, get my things and go So this is Houston. So this is ache So th...

Since my soul cannot be saved, I guess I'll go in to my grave, And wake up in a world of flame, And wake up in a world of flame. Fire and brimstone, thistle and thorn, I never believed since the day I was born. Come sit beside me under any old tree, And unde...

I understand the nature of men. I don't pretend so I can sleep. A man can get lonely, He needs holding, Not scolding or complaint. Life can be hard on him He needs to know he can win. Baby girl, you be sweet. But understand me too. I have to play b...

How does a woman fall? When she knows her art so well While others bliss out in boudoirs I glide past those cells No one ever suspects It's as though they're too blind to see And since I know myself so well These secrets are mine to keep But I'll tell it now l...

Just beneath the mountain, Near creek and old mill, A town i'd like to live in, When i am finally still. I'm going there some day - When all travel done. I'll lay my suitcase down, And write my final song. I was not content with dreams, Of love, god...

I didn't call you that day It was easier to let it fall away. And i'm sure i have saved you from pain And you wouldn't believe it if I say: "I want to be alone." By the time they all realize, Our eyes cannot meet their gaze. All the stars will surrende...
