I've had to buy back damn near everything I own
From a little man whose name is Saul and has a lotta money to loan I drove a beat up '67 Chevrolet With a torn up seam pokes brand new hole in my back near every day I got a letter from the folks over at Bell Just to let me know my next phone call I'd walk outside and yell Hey, I know my life seems a mess But honey things to me still look real swell 'Cause I've got you to see me through Yeah, I've got you oh, chase my blues I've got you to ease my pain Yeah, I've got you, girl to keep me sane So let them do what they want to do 'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you I've got the landlord breathing down my neck for rent Oh, he don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent After all those years of payin' union dues It sure didn't seem to count for much when we got our layoff news I got a note from the man over at the bank Said the next ten gallons of gas I buy won't be going in my tank Hey, I know I might seem near dead But honey I think I might just get well 'Cause I've got you to see me through Yeah, I've got you oh, to chase my blues I've got you to ease my pain Honey I've got you, oh, to keep me sane So let them do what they want to do 'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you Yeah, let them go right ahead and sue 'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you |

My friends tried to tell me you were steppin' around
But I wouldn't hear it, I shut them all down But now I'm a thinkin' you've made a fool out of me 'Cause the words that are slippin' spell grief and misery Chorus: One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep One more name and I'll know it's not a lie One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep One more name and our love will surely die Haunted and tortured by the rumours about you Listening in silence to whispers of truth Deceived by the soft kiss you forge every day While each night those same lips give your secret away Chorus(twice) |

Chorus:
What I don't know might not hurt me If I stay dumb and no one tells But if I find out that you've been cheatin' What I don't know might get you killed Death row in prison don't look half as bad As a life filled with heartache over you So if you're a playin' those dirty little games You better pray that I don't find out the truth Chorus: Smith and Wesson juries hold a real mean, nasty court And the verdict that they pass is never slow So keep on a wearin' that little poker face 'Cause soon enough your cards will have to show Chorus |

Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the road all losers use If you can wade in through the teardrops of my friend I'll meet you at the home of the Blues I walk and I cry as my heartbeat Keeps in time with the drag of my shoes The sun never shines through this window of my mine It's dark here at the home of the Blues But this place is filled with sweetest memories Memories so sweet that I cry Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad That I just want to lay right down and die So if you just lost your sweetheart And you ain't got no good way to choose Come follow me, misery loves company I'll meet you at the home of the Blues But this place is filled with sweetest memories Memories so sweet that I cry Dreams that I had left me feeling oh so bad That I just want to lay right down and die So if you just lost your sweetheart And you ain't got no good way to choose Come follow me, misery loves company Welcome to the home of the Blues I'll take you at the home of the Blues |

She wore red dresses with her black shining hair She had my baby and caused me to care Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies I never knew him but he took her away On my knees like a madman for vengeance i prayed While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind I searched till i found them, then i cursed at the sight Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light In the dark morning silence i placed the gun to her head She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead |

Chorus:
I hear you knockin' I hear you callin' I hear you every time you say my name But it's too late, baby Your calling is all in vain I hear you crying You done the lying You tried to cheat Baby, you're to blame But it's too late, baby Your crying is all in vain I packed my suitcase I bought my ticket It won't be long, and I'll be on my way 'Cause I'm a leaving, yeah, I'm a leaving, and I'm going away to stay Chorus: I hear you knockin' I hear you callin' I hear you every time you say my name But it's too late, baby Your calling is all in vain I hear you knockin' I hear you callin' I hear you every time you say my name But it's too late, baby Your calling is all in vain I hear you knock, knock, knock I hear you call, call, call I hear you every time you say my name But it's too late, baby Your calling is all in vain |

I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died He said way down yonder in the land of cotton Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are On this damned old L.A. street Then he drew a dying breath And laid his head against my chest Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie Chorus He said listen to me son while you still can Run back home to that Southern land Don't you see what life here has done to me? Then he closed those old blue eyes And fell limp against my side No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie Chorus: I sang Dixie as he died The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died I sang Dixie as he died |

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody Just want a chance to be myself I've done a thousand miles of thumbin' I've worn holes in both my heels Trying to find me something better On the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Spent sometime in San Francisco Spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell Took fifteen dollars from that man Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and I headed for the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? How many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? |

It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones The six children he raised are all weepin' For this soft-spoken mountain man Who fed them with the money he earned in those black mines And the food he could raise with his hands Chorus Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom Or the honest and simple things he did There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today That know about the humble way he lived Chorus Now this house in the holler stands empty Though his presence in my memory is plain You know that I'd swear that I just saw him walkin' up that hill I guess this place just won't never be the same Chorus |

Chorus:
Send me the pillow that you dream on Don't you know that I still care for you Send me the pillow that you dream on So, darlin', I can dream on it, too Each night while I'm sleeping, oh so lonely I'll share your love and dreams that once were true Send me the pillow that you dream on So, darlin', I can dream on it, too Chorus: Send me the pillow that you dream on Maybe time will let our dreams come true Send me the pillow that you dream on So, darlin', I can dream on it, too I've waited so long for you to write me But just a memory is all that is left of you Send me the pillow that you dream on So, darlin', I can dream on it too So, darlin', I can dream on it too |

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world Hold on, hold on and put your trust In His ever lasting Word Hold on, hold on, hold on to God In this life's storm-tossed sea Cling to Jesus, His lifeline It will salvation bring Satan shall lead down a pathway of sin Away from your heavenly home With many great wonders, many great signs Deceiving all but the strong Chorus Be not misled by miraculous deeds Performed in the name of the Lamb For He shall return as a thief in the night To claim his own once again Chorus |
