Haggard
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom And I stand up to say good-bye like all the rest Then I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell 'Let my guitar playing, friend, do my request'. Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die. And I remember Sunday evening when a choir came in from town And got up to sing a few old gospel song Then I heard him tell the singers : 'There's a song my mama sang' 'Could you sing it once before we move along ?' Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die. Want you sing me back home before I die ? |

Cody, Cody I hear you say
I hear your voice calling me away I'm not afraid to think of what I might find I will be yours, will you be mine We've all been young, we've all been old We've all been sheltered from the cold Come to my side and say what I think I already know I'm going away don't you want to go SOLO I remember the face that Harvey drew It was of a man That my eyes saw through Come by my side before the evening is gone And see where else this body's flown |

This old town is filled with sin
It will swallow you in If you've got some money to burn Take it home right away You've got three years to pay But Satan is waiting his turn The scientists say It will all wash away But we don't believe any more Cause we've got our recruits And our green mohair suits So please show your I.D. at the door This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain A friend came around Tried to clean up this town His ideas made some people mad But he trusted his crowd So he spoke right out loud And they lost the best friend they had This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain |

Straight-backed chair and a table
Where he sits when he's able To walk over from bedridden misery To record from his thoughts On a worn out table cloth Where he'd been while His mind breaks sleeplessly Though his body's bent with age You know, he's still out on that stage Entertaining all his friends That pause to greet him at the door Forty-nine years out on the road Many nights he'd saved a soul Now he sits and waits To claim his own reward God's own singer of songs is going home Though he's poor, he might be The richest one you know All his pain will set him free Wash his soul and cleans him clean God's own singer of songs is going home God's own singer of songs is going home |

She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise Now a woman like that all she does is hate you She doesn't know what makes a man a man She'll talk about the times that she's been with you She'll speak your HREF to everyone she can She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise Unhappiness has been her close companion Her world is full of jealousy and doubt It gets her off to see a person crying She's just the kind that you can't do without She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise Her number always turns up in your pocket Whenever you are looking for a dime It's all right to call her but I'll bet you The moon is full and your just wasting time |

Simpson
She's in some honky tonk tonight, I know She's dancing where the music's loud and the lights are low In a crowded bar she likes to hang around But as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down. So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there any more Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me. I wish I had the power to turn back the time And live again the hours when she was all mine 'Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown But as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down. So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there any more Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me Then maybe the one I love will come back to me. |

There's a place everyone of us can go to
Maybe you have been there once or twice Where all your friends just look at you and whisper They want to give you nothing but advice When you walk in they all know what you're after And the higher that you get the more they'll see In a dark room filled with music, wine and laughter Your eyes keep searching for her constantly Is it that one in the corner with her eyes filled with tears Or is she the one who's having fun drinking too much beer Every night it's the same sad old procedure The doorman winks at you on your way out 'Cause deep inside he knows you'll be returning And he's got something you can't live without There's nothing new that can be said about dirt And there's nothing left inside your heart but the same old hurt Of an old love's fancy life that left you stranded in a dream Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen |

She calls me the man in the fog
Take me she says just one time Our seats our so close in the dark And this feeling's not mine I can't stop this feeling's not mine I came by her place once before Thought I would go for a ride I saw through the screen on the door how Her old mama cried She wouldn't let me inside SOLO My daughter is in such a fog She seems to be under a spell It's all I can do Just to keep you away if I can Soon as you're gone she'll be well A note came along in the mail Be under my window at nine I got up the money for bail Baby, everything's fine We're gonna make it this time SOLO We can get lost in the crowd Places we already know Like all the parks And the taverns where old people go Waiting for winter's white snow |

There's a light, a certain kind of light that never shone on me I want my life to be lived with you, lived with you. There's a way, everybody say, to do each and every little thing But what does it bring if I ain't got you, ain't got ? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. In my brain, I see your face again, I know my frame of mind You ain't got to be so blind and I'm blind, so so so very blind. I'm a man, can't you see what I am ? I live and breathe for you But what good does it do if I ain't got you, ain't got ? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like To love somebody ... |

A letter came today from my draft board
With trembling hands I read the questionare It asked me lots of things about my mamma and poppa Now that ain't what I call exactly fair So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be my kind of town Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground A sad old soldier once told me a story About a battlefield that he was on He said a man should never fight for glory He must know what is right and what is wrong So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be my kind of town That tends to keep a good man underground Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect it's more than I can pay He'sa sking me to sign a three year contract I guess I'll catch the first bus out today So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be my kind of town Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground |

I was walking down the street the other day
A sight came before my eyes It was a little hippie boy I must have been twice his size His appearance typed his strange breed Gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down I'd seen perhaps a thousand In my early trips to town As he walked on beside me on down the block I noticed no unpleasing smell. He might have been on the weed or even LSD But if he was I couldn't tell... So we walked together that way through this neighborhood. Finally he turned around to me And he said "friend we're a million miles apart But you know something? We can enjoy the sunshine and the weather. So why don't we put our differences aside And just talk to each other? You see this box beneath my arm? To you it's plain, it has no charm But to someone dearest to my heart This box has played a tragic part This little one can't tell you himself About his life and how he died. But if anyone else could speak for him, I guess I'm qualified. This boy was in Chicago he didn't know why he was there. He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care. You might have been one of those who saw The struggle there on your television screen The tragic thing is so much else happened That no one else could have seen. A stranger handed this boy a dollar To do a simple chore To carry a package to a nearby hotel. And when he returned he'd get two more But when he came back he sort of lost his way walking through the crowd. One of them things you ask yourself, How the Lord allowed But when he was found he was like he is now,dreaming sweet and still. And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill. Now you can take that dollar Get four cents on it, compound it quarterly at any downtown bank. So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb. Well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave. You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing... It's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street. Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat." Now could you help us sing this song, please There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray. I will think of the little hippie boy that way. |

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me for the very last time Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done to be treated this way In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed Then an angel appeared she was just 17 In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say She's brought back the life that I once threw away |

Yes I know she's the life of the party And without her things here would die Oh but don't be fooled by her laughter She has her sad times, she knows how to cry. She drinks and she talks just a little too loud And with her black gown she hangs around with any old crowd Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed That I made her the image of me. I met her in a little country town She was settled and old-fashioned in some ways But she loved me till I dragged her down Then she just gave up and drifted away. She drinks and she talks just a little too loud And with her black gown she hangs around with any old crowd Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed That I made her the image of me. Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed That I made her the image of me. |

Listen to me, baby,
There's something you must see. I want to be with you, gal, If you want to be with me. But if you got to go, It's all right. But if you got to go, go now, Or else you gotta stay all night. It ain't that I'm questionin' you. To take part in any quiz. It's just that I ain't got no watch An' you keep askin' me what time it is. But if you got to go, It's all right. But if you got to go, go now, Or else you gotta stay all night. I am just a poor boy, baby, Lookin' to connect. But I certainly don't want you thinkin' That I ain't got any respect. But if you got to go, It's all right. But if you got to go, go now, Or else you gotta stay all night. You know I'd have nightmares And a guilty conscience, too, If I kept you from anything That you really wanted to do. But if you got to go, It's all right. But if you got to go, go now, Or else you gotta stay all night. It ain't that I'm wantin' Anything you never gave before. It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon, It'll be too dark for you to find the door. But if you got to go, It's all right. But if you got to go, go now, Or else you gotta stay all night. |

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull aching pain Now you've decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or off stage lights Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away Solo I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie I had my freedom but I don't have much time Faith has been broken tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild wild horses we'll ride them some day SOLO Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild wild horses we'll ride them some day |

White Line Fever a sickness born down deep inside my soul White Line Fever the years keep flying by like a high line pole The wrinkles in my forehead show the miles I've put behind me They continue to remind me how fast I'm growing old Guess I'll die with this fever in my soul I wonder just what makes a man keep pushing on Why must I keep on singing this old highway song I've been from coast to coast a 100 times or more I haven't found one place that I ain't been before White Line Fever a sickness born down deep inside my soul White Line Fever the years keep flying by like a high line pole |

I love you darling but you don't love me Might as well face it and set you free I've been playing a losing game In spite of this I'm not ashamed I gave you my love and I have no regrets I'm true to you baby with love and respect I stood by you when no one else would And I gave you everything I possibly could I'm sitting here with my hopes so high Never been a day pass when I didn't cry People are talking all over town Keep telling me that I should put you down From your lips sweet honey pours That is where all my love goes I shouldn't have put my hopes so high Never been a day when I didn't cry (Repeat first verse) |

Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone Cause she is moving somewhere far away not slow And though I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go Even though this time it really hurts me bad I've been thru similarities it's not the first break I've had And I just can't let it bring me down too low And though I tried so hard to please her There must be something more to know Never thought that we would end this way It seemed that everything was going fine Still with all the things that I can do or say It won't change the fate I know so well is mine SOLO So I'll stop and look right past the pain Cause I've been in love before and I can love again While she is moving somewhere far away not slow And though I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go |

All alone she waits at the window While the sun sets in the sea Is that the sound of his foot steps that echoes in the hall And then they fade away no it wasn't him after all He was gone in the early morning And he said he wouldn't be long But that was spring and now that the leaves have all turned brown She only shares her bed with the lonliness she has found Still she waits alone at the window For the one who wandered away Each day the room grows colder her tears grow harder to hold And still she saves her love for the day she knows he'll come home |
