The evening winds are still
I've lost the way and will Can’t tell you where they went I just know what they meant I’m always on my guard Admitting life is hard Without you near me The friend you used to be So near and dear to me You slipped so far away Where did we go astray? I passed the old school yard Admitting life is hard Without you near me Ever since the day The day you went away I felt that emptiness so wide I don’t know what's wrong or right I just know I need strength to fight Strength to fight that world outside Since we've been out of touch I haven't felt that much From day to barren day My heart stays locked away I walk the boulevard Admitting life is hard Without you near me The sun is sinking low I guess it's time to go I feel a chilly breeze In place of memories My dreams are locked and barred Admitting life is hard Without you near me Hmmm, without you near me |

Well I didn’t come here, dear, with a doggone thing
I just came here to hear the drummer's cymbal ring There ain’t no way you can put me down I just wanna say that hell’s my wife’s home town Well there’s reasons for that and reasons for this I can’t think of any just now, but I know they exist I’m sittin in the sun ‘till my skin turns brown I just wanna say that hell’s my wife’s home town, home town, home town She can make you steal, make you rob Give you the hives, make you lose your job Make things bad, she can make things worse She got stuff more potent than a gypsy curse One of these days I’ll end up on the run I'm pretty sure she'll make me kill someone I’m going inside, roll the shutters down I just wanna say that hell’s my wife’s home town Well there’s plenty to remember, plenty to forget I still can remember the day we met I lost my reasons long ago My love for her is all I know State gone broke, the county's dry Don't be lookin' at me with that evil eye Keep on walking, don’t be hanging around I’m tellin you again that hell’s my wife’s home town Home town, ha ha, home town |

If you ever go to Houston
Better walk right Keep your hands in your pockets And your gun belt tight If you’re asking for trouble If you’re looking for a fight If you ever go to Houston Boy, you better walk right If you're ever down there On back near Lamar You better watch out for The man with the shining star Better know where you're going Or stay where you are If you’re ever down there On back near Lamar Well I know these streets I’ve been here before I nearly got killed here During the Mexican War Something always Keeps me coming back for more I know these streets I’ve been here before If you ever go to Dallas Say hello to Mary Ann Say I’m still looking along the trigger Hanging on the best I can If you see her sister Lucy Say I’m sorry I’m not there Tell her other sister Nancy To pray the sinner's prayer I got a restless fever Burnin' in my brain Gotta keep right forward Can’t spoil the game The same way I’ll leave here Will be the way that I came Got a restless fever Burnin' in my brain Mister policeman Can you help me find my gal? Last time I saw her Was at the Magnolia Motel If you help me find her You can be my pal Mister policeman Can you help me find my gal? If you ever go to Austin Fort Worth or San Anton' Find the barrooms I got lost in And send my memories home Put my tears in a bottle Screw the top on tight If you ever go to Houston Buddy, you’d better walk right |

Forgetful heart
Lost your power of recall Every little detail You don’t remember at all The times we knew Who would remember better than you? Forgetful heart We laughed and had a good time, you and I It’s been so long Now you’re content to let the days go by When you were there You were the answer to my prayer Forgetful heart We loved with all the love that life can give What can I say? Without you it’s so hard to live Can’t take much more Why can’t we love like we did before? Forgetful heart Like a walking shadow in my brain All night long I lay awake and listen to the sound of pain The door has closed forevermore If indeed there ever was a door |

How long can I stay
In this nowhere café 'fore night turns into day I wonder why I’m so frightened of dawn All I have and all I know Is this dream of you which keeps me living on There’s a moment when All old things become new again But that moment might have come and gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you which keeps me living on I look away but I keep seeing it I don’t want to believe but I keep believing it Shadows dance upon the wall Shadows that seem to know it all Am I too blind to see Is my heart playing tricks on me I’m lost in the crowd, all my tears are gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you which keeps me living on Everything I touch seems to disappear Everywhere I turn, you are always here I’ll run this race until my earthly death I’ll defend this place with my dying breath From a cheerless room In a curtain gloom, I saw a star from Heaven fall I turned and looked again but it was gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you which keeps me living on |

I get the blues for you baby when I look up at the sun Come back here, we can have some real fun Well it’s early in the evening and everything is still Well it’s early in the evening and everything is still One more time, I’m walking up around the hill Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea You took all my money and you gave it to Richard Lee Down by the river judge Simpson’s walking around Down by the river judge Simpson’s walking around Nothing shocks me more than that old clown Some of you women, you really know your stuff Some of you women, you really know your stuff But your clothes are all torn and your language is a little too rough Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day I’m right here baby, I’m not that far away I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too It's Friday morning going to Franklin Avenue Shake shake mama, raise your voice and bay Shake shake mama, raise your voice and bay If you're goin' on home, better go the shortest way |
