Its hard to keep tears out of my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Our country calls you to defend a great land
So do your part just like a man

Down where the river bends
With god's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free

I go down to the ocean blue
Its just as close as I came to you
This old ocean might keep us apart
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart

Down where the river bends
With god's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free

If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant, lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven there'll be no war there

Down where the river bends
With god's help we'll meet again
Under the same old sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free

Well if i had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well the girl I love
I stole her from a friend
He got lucky, stole her back again
She heard he had a Mercury
Lord she's crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well hey now mama
You look so fine
ridin round in your Mercury 49
Crazy bout a Mercury
lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well my baby went out
She didn't stay long
Bought herself a Mercury, come a cruisin home
She's crazy bout a Mercury
Yeah she's crazy bout a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well if I had money
I tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy me a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

(Deana Carter/Dwight Yoakam)

Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold
That someday you might know what it's like to slowly drown.

Waiting for your world to turn around
Waiting for the the thought to cross your mind
That 2 hearts might be inclined to commit an act that's bold
Or even just be looking for a chance to take advantage of.

One glance and live inside it one more time
Waiting for the thought to cross your mind
How long will it be
'Til these blind eyes can finally see
I don't know, time goes so slow
While your love, like a river, flows right by me.

Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around...

Some Dark Holler

I'd rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun don't never shine

Than to be here alone knowing you're gone

While I slowly lose my mind



So blow your whistle freight train

Take me farther on down the track

I'm going away, I'm leaving today

I'm going and I ain't coming back


I'd rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun don't never shine

Than to be in some big city

In a small room with your love on my mind



So blow your whistle freight train

Take me farther on down the track

I'm going away, I'm leaving today

I'm going and I ain't coming back



I'd rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun don't never shine

Than to be here alone knowing you're gone

As I slowly lose my mind


So blow your whistle freight train

Take me farther on down the track

I'm going away, I'm leaving today

I'm going and I ain't coming back


I'm going and I ain't coming back
Yes, I'm going and I ain't coming back

(Heather Myles with Dwight Yoakam)

Sun's goin' down, it's still a hundred an' three.
Drivin' 'cross the desert, down Highway fifteen.
There's no turnin' back now, got all that we need.
To a desert oasis, we're travelin', my baby an' me.

We're goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip,
Where the preacher looks like Elvis;
We could even strike it rich.
Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip.

Instrumental break.

Car's broken down, the side of the road,
How we got this far, God only knows.
Sold everything, don't need luxury.
Been livin' on good lovin', my baby an' me.

We're goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip,
Where the preacher looks like Elvis;
We could even strike it rich.
Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip.

Life is a gamble,
But our love's a sure bet.
Goin' to the Little Chapel, (Goin' to the Little Chapel.)
On the Las Vegas strip.

Goin' to the Little Chapel,
On the Las Vegas strip.

Miner's prayer is dedicated to the memory of luther tibbs.
A kentucky coal miner for 40 years, and my grandpa.

When the whistle blows each morning
And i walk down in that cold, dark mine
I say a prayer to my dear savior
Please let me see the sunshine one more time

Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

I still grieve for my poor brother
And i still hear my dear old mother cry
When late that night they came and told her
He'd lost his life down in the big shoal mine

Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

I have no shame, i feel no sorrow
If on this earth not much i own
I have the love of my sweet children
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe

Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Yeah, when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Dwight Yoakam & Johnny Cash

Don't call my name out your window, as I'm leavin'
'Cause I won't even turn my head
And don't send your kin folk to give me no dang talkin'
'Cause I'll be gone like I said

You'd can say the same ole things
That you've been sayin' all along
Just lay there in your bed
And keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone
No, Don't give me that old familiar, cry n' cuss n' moan
Understand your man
Oh, Understand your man
huh.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, party boys

You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I untangle my mind

No, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
Yet, I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man (meditate on it)
You'll understand your man (You hear me talkin, now?)
Understand your man (I told you so)
Understand your man
Huh,

oh hu.
Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand

Understand your man...

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We all got higher and higher every day
Come on wheels take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
Come on wheels take me home today
So come on wheels take this boy away

When I feel my time is almost up
And destiny is in my right hand
I will turn to you who made my faith so strong
Come on wheels make this boy a man

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
Come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away
Come on wheels take me home today

Well, I was rollin' down the road
In some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back,
And a beautician at the wheel.

We going downtown
In the middle of the night
We're laughing and I'm jokin'
And we feelin' alright.

Cause, I'm bad, girl, I'm nationwide.
Yes, I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.

Easin' down the highway
In a new Cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front,
I had three more in the back..

They sportin' short dresses,
Wearin' spike-heel shoes,
They smokin' Lucky Strikes,
And wearing nylons too.

'Cause we bad, we nationwide.
Yeah we bad, yeah, we nationwide.

--- Instrumental ---

'Cause I'm bad, girl we're nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.

Well, I was movin' down the road
In my V-8 Ford,
I had my boots shined up,
And my sideburns lowered.

With my New York brim
And my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble
'Cause they know I got it made.

'Cause I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
'Cause I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Whoa girl I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Girl I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Oh I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
I'm bad, girl I'm nationwide.
etc...

When I was a boy my family would travel
Inta' Western Kentucky where my parents were born
To a lost little town there thats often remembered
So many times that my memory drew warn
And daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away
Well sometimes we travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Gadry Hill.
Where the air smelled like snakes an' we'd shoot off pistols
Ahh but empty pop bottles is all we would kill
And daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay
He said i'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
Welll the coal compny' came with the worlds largest shovel
They tortured the timber and stripped all of the land
Lord they dug for their coal til the ground was forsaken
Then wrote it all down as a the Progress Of Man
So daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away
When I die let my ashes float down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just 5 miles away from wherever I am
Ohhh... and daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away
Oh Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away.
