You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down To look at you and me, no one would ever know The pain that i've endured 'cause i won't let it show My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew The truth about how i am just your lovesick fool Chorus: You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you There've been rumors of the truth but i've kept it quiet 'cause i'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry Chorus: You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down Yeah your little ways can knock me to the ground |

(alan rose, don helms)
One day the train was passing, i caught it comin' by To look this old world over, under god's blue sky My darlin' stood there weepin' as i was lookin' back I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track I like to keep on goin', it helps me when i'm blue I get the urge to travel, that's all i want to do I know i just can't settle down because i like to roam And when i hear that whistle blow i gotta move along: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track I know my baby loves me, i love my baby too But she don't understand me when i'm feelin' blue And when i hear that whistle blow i hurry home to pack And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track |

She had left him lost and broken like no other had before And now his heart was just a token of the pain it had endured And his memories were clouded with all the hurtful things she'd said Yes, for all intent and purpose he might just as well been dead Chorus: And some people claim they still hear him call he name Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See, his body died some years ago But around here mr. johnson's love lives on He seemed far away and distant with that cold and silent stare Never moving, never speaking and just barely breathing air No one really knew her reason and who can judge her right or wrong The only true and solemn fact is, the main we'd known was all but gone Chorus: And some people claim they still hear him call he name Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See, his body died some years ago But around here mr. johnson's love lives on Sissy thompson said she'd seen him late that night on shelby road About a mile from there they found him it seems he'd died out in the snow I hear'd the preacher at the service say fro love he's finally free But i say love, it knows no season it haunts the soul eternally Chorus: And some people claim they still hear him call he name Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn Yeah, his body died some years ago But around here mr. johnson's love lives on Yes, his body died some years ago But around here mr. johnson's love lives on |

Chorus:
They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Have you ever been down Kentucky-way Say south of Prestonburg Have you ever been up in a holler Have you ever heard A mountain man cough his life away From diggin' that black coal In those dark mines, those dark mines If you had you might just understand The reason that they left it all behind Chorus: They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waitin' in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Have you ever seen 'em Put the kids in the car after work on Friday night Pull up in a holler about 2 a.m. And see a light still shinin' bright Those mountain folks sat up that late Just to hold those little grandkids In their arms, in their arms And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm Chorus: They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Yeah, it turns out that that old highway, Leads you to a world of misery They found out that that old highway Leads you to a world of misery... |

Runway four, flight 209 Teardrop falls, we start to climb This window seat proved a poor choice It shows the dream that's been destroyed A little baby starts to cry Hey, i would too, if not for pride I owe so much to pride, it's true It brought an end to me and you Chorus: But if i could, i'd turn around Set my feet back on the ground 'cause all this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery I hear the engines, watch the clouds The whole damn world looks distant now But i can't seem to put no space Between my cold heart and your sweet face Across the aisle they're holding hands Revealing brand new wedding bands But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust Now my life has turned to dust Chorus: But if i could, i'd turn around Set my feet back on the ground 'cause all this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery All this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery |

Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time Little girl i still remember The very dress you wore on that day It was so soft, a shade of violet, lord How it took my breath away As the sunshine of the morning Broke across your golden hair How i wished to hold you tightly, lord But i was shy and did not dare Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time Many nights i've sat and wondered If you might be somebody's wife But if you're not, i'd long to see you If just to tell you how i've pined I've been known to ask a stranger That i thought might just pass your way If they would tell you of these feelings That we might meet again someday Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time I guess you will throughout all time |
