Dirt Road to Heaven
04:24
|
|||
|
There's so little left to choose, now that everyone has gone
What was passed on to me is now all worn down
There's dirt on my shoes, where once there was gold
Lost for so long, it's the only way I know
I'm on a dirt road to heaven
Walkin' in my own direction
I heard that there's a highway in the sky
But it's not mine, no it's not mine
Where is the sun that used to shine, on this dark, lonely town
You won't see me here again, I'm already gone
I'm picking up my pace, there's signs along the way
What I need I've yet to find, but I'm lookin' everyday
I'm on a dirt road to heaven
Walkin' in my own direction
I heard that there's a highway in the sky
But it's not mine, no it's not mine
Where is the sun that used to shine, on this dark, lonely town
You won't see me here again, I'm already gone
I'm picking up my pace, there's signs along the way
What I need I've yet to find, but I'm lookin' everyday
I'm on a dirt road to heaven
Walkin' in my own direction
I heard that there's a highway in the sky
But it's not mine, no it's not mine

Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine
Well I met her several years ago when I was still a kid
She seemed to like something that I did
She'd call me in the middle of the night and ask me for advice
What I didn't realize then, that woman wasn't nice
Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine
As the years went by she wanted to be thicker than kin
And I couldn't get her unglued from my skin
Just like Uriah Heep she's an unctuous as they come
What does she want from me my friend I'm wonderin'
Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine
I told her I was gonna get married, she got drunk and had a hissy fit
I said hey girl what's the matter with you and then she came out with it
She told me that she'd always been in love with me, my mind just went a blur
'Cause if I was ever gonna gp gay, well it sure wouldn't be with her
Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine
I moved halfway around the world, settled down by the river Clyde
Somehow she tracked em down again and I'm thinking suicide
But I wouldn't fall that easy so I packed my bags again
But I'm looking over my shoulder 'cause she's just around the bend
Why do I have to know w woman like that
I can't get that woman off my back
She comes around demanding a piece of my time
Why does she want to be a friend of mine

Hard Life
03:00

It's just a theory but it might be
When I hear you talkin' with your philosophies
That it's a hard life but it don't matter
'Cause I got you now babe and we can never be shattered
I don't pretend to think that I've got the answers
But if you listen to me then you might feel better
It's a hard life but it don't matter
'Cause I got you now babe and we can never be shattered
It's a hard life, It's a hard life, It's a hard life, but it don't matter
Thought I'd seen hard times, but they got harder
Thought they might kill me, but now I'm much more smarter
It's a hard life but it don't matter
'Cause I got you now babe and we can never be shattered
It's a hard life, It's a hard life, It's a hard life, but it don't matter
'Cause I got you babe, 'cause I got you babe

Hunny Dummer

Hunny, could you get a little dummer
I don't need no fancy talk tonight
Clever conversation
Never helped to get it right
Come over here and hold me
Like you never do no more
Turn off the phone
Turn on George Jones
And let me show you how I feel
Oh honey, can I get a little sugar
Can you change those words to poetry?
Romeo and Juliet ain't got nothin on you and me
Come over here and hold me
Like you never do no more
Turn off the phone
Turn on George Jones
And let me show you how I feel
Oh hunny, oh woah
Come over here and hold me
Like you never do no more
Turn off the phone
Turn on George Jones
And let me show you how I feel
Hunny could you get a little dummer
Could you change those words

Faded Leaves
03:27
|
|||
|
Sorry I'm late in coming
I've got a lot on my time
Nothing to do now but wanting
To ease my state of mind
Faded leaves through panes of glass
We all know summer never lasts
Sometimes it's hard to remember that
When winter comes, it comes on fast
Children wade through blades of grass
That turn to brown and blow away
All along the sun will shine
Even through the cold, long day
Faded leaves through panes of glass
We all know summer never lasts
Sometimes it's hard to remember that
When winter comes, it comes on fast

Last Cute Minute
03:20
|

|
This could be my last cute minute
Gotta take advantage while I can
I wanna get me some good good lovin'
But he's gonna have to be a special kind of man
Someone not on social security
Not on disability, too
Someone with low cholesterol
Osteoporosis just won't do
This could be my last cute minute
Gotta take advantage while I can
I wanna get me some good good lovin'
But he's gonna have to be a special kind of man
Someone who'll put up with my whinin'
Gonna have to be so brave
He'll have a healthy checkbook
Someone not one foot in the grave
This could be my last cute minute
I'm lookin pretty good right now
Sunset's not too harsh on my wrinkles
And my hair's hangin' down coverin' up my jowls
It's ok if his eyesight's going down the tubes
I'll look better in the morning, when the light is rude
I don't need a Casanova, but I don't want a prude
So hurry up sweet darlin 'cause time won't wait for you
This could be my last cute minute
Gotta take advantage while I can
I wanna get me some good good lovin'
But he's gonna have to be a special kind of man
This could be my last cute minute
This could be my last cute minutes

No Fear
03:33
|

|
My eyes look out into the storm
Lines connect and patterns form
Thunder rolls and slow wind blows
Then new rain falls again
Rollin' down the window pane
Swollen worlds they all contain
It's hard to know just why, although
There's nothing to fear, no there's nothing to fear
And waters roll with open arms
To catch the flow from the misty mountains
Falling safely to the sea
There's nothing to fear, nothing to fear
No fear at all
Rivers form within the mind
Of moments lost and intertwined
It's hard to let them go and so
The new rain comes again
And water rolls with open arms
To catch the flow from the misty mountains
Falling safely to the sea
There's nothing to fear, nothing to fear
No fear at all, no fear at all, no fear at all

Hurricane Watch
03:45
|
|||
|
Like a hurricane watch, the balmy breeze brought the power of the wind my way
Picking me up, don't it make me feel like it could carry me away
Well I'm just sittin' here waiting, watching and wondering
Which way it's going to go
When you're out of control the storm can blow a hole right through your soul
Will it be pleasure, will it be pain
When it all ends up, will you be washed by the rain
Or face down lying on the ground
It's a mystery never knowing where you're gonna touch down
When you're pushed to the edge and your mind is breaking
And you're looking for some solid ground
A resting place within the storm
But you don't know if it can be found
Well I'm just sittin' here waiting, watching and wondering
Which way it's going to go
When you're out of control the storm can blow a hole right through your soul
Will it be pleasure, will it be pain
When it all ends up, will you be washed by the rain
Or face down lying on the ground
It's a mystery never knowing where you're gonna touch down
Will it be pleasure, will it be pain
When it all ends up, will you be washed by the rain
Or face down lying on the ground
It's a mystery never knowing where you're gonna touch down

Rodeo Clown

Well, I never was much with lariat
I was more like a rodeo clown
But when ol' mother earth decides to go
I'm the one who'll be riding her down
I never was much for working
Seems most jobs were too hard
When ol' mother earth decides to quit
I'll be holding all her best cards
Let's go back to the land
With a shovel in our hands
With the seeds and the sun we're gonna sow
Cause what we plan now is gonna come about somehow
And a whole new world is gonna grow
I never was much good with money
I was much better off having none
But when ol' mother earth decides to go
I'm the one who'll be havin the fun
Let's go back to the land
With a shovel in our hands
With the seeds and the sun we're gonna sow
Cause what we plan now is gonna come about somehow
And a whole new world is gonna grow
And a whole new world is gonna grow

Love Song's Refrain
03:23
|
|||
|
I hear the sound of the train
And it tugs on my memory
Like a love song's refrain
I hear the echo of footsteps
He'll always remain
A love song's refrain
Now, he's traveling on
Seeking his fortune and fame
Running through the night, as if to catch the dawn
While I linger on and linger on
I hear the sound of the train
And it tugs on my memory
Like a love song's refrain
I hear the echo of footsteps
He'll always remain
A love song's refrain
He's wrestling with his soul
As the lonesome whistle blows
To a melody that's calling out his name
From far away, please don't stay
I hear the sound of the train
And it tugs on my memory
Like a love song's refrain
I hear the echo of footsteps
He'll always remain
A love song's refrain

The days are colder and you'll feel so all alone
If you get so lonely won't you call me on the phone
I'll be there, where you can drown your cares
I'll be there to love you only
Forget your sad tomorrows, our love will buy us time
We'll take your tears and sorrow and we'll turn them into wine
I'll be there with a hope and a prayer
Your love will always lead me around
You can count on me darlin,
I'll always be
I'll be there to take you where
Sunshine blue skies
There for you tomorrow
Don't cry, dry your eyes
I'll be there to melt your sorrows
Baby baby baby
Don't you know that you are the one
You're the one I can talk to
You're the one I give all my fun
I'll be there
You can drown your cares
You can count on me darlin,
I'll always be
I'll be there to take you where
Sunshine blue skies
There for you tomorrow
Don't cry, dry your eyes
I'll be there to melt your sorrows
I'll be there for you tomorrow

You found the heart I tried so hard to hide
You looked at me and I could see myself in your eyes
All that you have, all you don’t have, is all I’ll ever need
Through all the tears and miles and trials we’ve had
Nothing could keep the thought of you out of my head
All that you have all you don’t have is all I’ll ever need
All that you have all you don’t have is all I’ll ever need
