I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you'd be good while I'm gone, But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie, I know there's been some carryin' on. Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look. The ash trays are all full of ashes, The floor needs a touch of the mop, There's a man downstairs with a long bushy hair, He said your party was a three day rock. Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look. Baby if you ever loved me, Then Bonnie and Clyde loved the law, Well a bird can't fly and I don't like apple pie, And trees won't grow in Arkansas. Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look. I had to leave town for a little while, You said you'd be good while I'm gone, But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie, I know there's been some carryin' on. Well - Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Yeah - Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look Yeah - Baby |

It's knowin' that your door is always open
And you path is free to walk That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up And stashed behind your couch It's knowin' I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have dried up on some lovin' That keeps you in the back roads By the rivers of my memory It keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said Because they thought we'd fit together walkin' It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin' Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the back roads By the rivers of my memory and for hours You're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junk yards and the highways come between us And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned and I was gone I still might run in silence Tears of joy might stain my face And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you Walking in the back roads By the rivers flowing gently on my mind I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling, cracking cauldron in some train yard My beard a roughening coal pile And a dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands around the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're wavin' from the back roads By the rivers of my memory Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind |

How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace And stand by her man, never once letting shade touch her face How many hearts could live through all the winters We've known and still not be cold True love travels on a gravel road. Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger All through streets paved with gold For true love travels on a gravel road. Down through the years we've had hard times and tears But they only helped our love grow And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled with envy Or stray from the one that you hold Oh true love travels on a gravel road. Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger All through streets paved with gold For true love travels on a gravel road. Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road. Mmmm True love travels on a gravel road. True love travels on a gravel road. |

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto People, don't you understand The child needs a helping hand Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Take a look at you and me, Are we too blind to see, Do we simply turn our heads And look the other way Well the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto And his hunger burns So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal And he learns how to fight In the ghetto Then one night in desperation The young man breaks the rules He buys a gun, steals a car, Tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto As her young man dies, On a cold and gray Chicago mornin', Another little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries |

Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride On this lonely Kentucky back road I've loved you much too long, my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing what went wrong Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes) Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain Showed your photograph to some old gray-bearded men Sitting on a bench outside a general store They said, "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear Was it yesterday? No, wait, the day before Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked "Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?" As we drove on through the rain, as he listened, I explained And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes) Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain |

Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
But Winter always came around and made the growing way too hard Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning I remember crying when she used to sing Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared About the way we learned to live And if we said our prayers You know I kept the family bible With a rose that she saved inside It was pressed between the pages Like it had found a place to hide Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way We bring them every Mother's Day And put them on her grave Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm Mama liked the roses |
