I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried It's an awful awakenin' In a country boy's life To look in the mirror In total surprise At the hair on your shoulders And the age in your eyes. (Chorus) Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife. Well the measure of people Don't understand The pleasures of life In a hillbilly band I got my first guitar When I was fourteen Now I'm crowding thirty And still wearin' jeans. (Chorus) |

Come Early Morning
Don Williams (Bob McDill) I been a walkin', walkin' in the moonlight Trippin' in the starlight, Lord, and I'm feelin' down Walkin' in the shadows, sneakin' down a side road Come early mornin' I'll be there on the edge of town I was a thinkin', thinkin' bout a good thing Thinkin' bout a sweet gleam, uum, in my honey's eyes And I was a-sinkin', feelin' kinda lonesome Come early morning I'll be home at my honey's side I have drifted up across the mountain And I have stumbled down the other side And I've been tempted, tried and troubled Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied [Instrumental] She give me little lovin' Give me little sunshine Make me have a good time, Lord When I'm feelin' blue I couldn't refuse her Well I couldn't misuse her Come early mornin' I'll be home With my honeydew I have drifted up across the mountains I have stumbled down the other side I've been tempted, tried and troubled Come early mornin' I'll be home And satisfied... |

Atta Way To Go
Don Williams Atta way to go you finally broke it off Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go Didn't you believe me when I loved you I guess you thought we were playing games All this time I tried to think I've known you I guess I really only knew your name Atta way to go you finally broke it off Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go I thought you knew I lived my life just for you There was just no price to big to pay And even though I know I still live for you The feeling's that you show won't let me stay |

When I don't want to Dream about your smiling face I keep trying not to love you But I love you anyway We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied I have thought to come to know you I've come to need your company What will I do if I can't have you If I can't have you What will I do We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied --- Instrumental --- We should be together, together We should be walking side by side We should be together, together Keeping each other satisfied... |

Ghost Story
Don Williams (Joe Allen) I've seen how you tremble Whenever he walks through your mind Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes Where the light of our love ought to shine I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad He must have been going insane Now I've finally learned how to hold you together When somebody mentions his name He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you, I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams I know that he's called you And told you that our love can't last But don't you believe him, 'cause honey he's wrong He's never been right in the past So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies He just can't admit that you're free And the next time he calls you just hand me the phone And see if he says it to me He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you He's not really there like he seems And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close I'll love him right out of your dreams... |

Silver coins that jingle jangle,
Fancy shoes that dance in time Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes, They did sing a gypsy rhyme Yellow clover in tangled blossoms In a meadow silky green Where she held me to her bosom, Just a boy of seventeen I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows And stir the darkness in my mind Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me Little know who haunts my mind Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter And it dances in my head While my tender wife and babies Slumber softly in their beds I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine... |
