tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind, Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine Take It easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load, got a world of trouble on my mind lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find Take it easy, take it easy don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy come on baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me, oh oh oh Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy |

I remember how we struggled When we first started out She recalls we had it all Not what we did without I think back on those hard times She remembers only love Who am I to say that's not Exactly how it was. Chorus: That's how she remembers it She was the lucky one Just take a look at both of us And you tell me who won If she thinks I hung the stars If that's what she believes Then who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory. You ought to hear her tell the kids How mom and daddy met It always amazes me The things that she forgets Somehow she gets it turned around But its still my favorite part How Mommy looked in Daddy's eyes And I stole away her heart. Chorus: That's how she remembers it She was the lucky one Just take a look at both of us And you tell me who won If she thinks I hung the stars If that's what she believes Then who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory. If I made all her dreams come true As far as she can see Who am I to tamper with Her perfect memory... |

Sitting in the barroom ordering another beer
She stepped up on the stage, but nobody wanted to hear And every word she sang was sweet music to my ears. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. It don't matter if the world don't listen Don't you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me. I sat there at the bar she sang the blues all night Singing straight from the heart, living every line I wanna tell you girl, you touched this heart of mine. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. --- Instrumental --- End of the night, they turned the lights down low While the band packed up She was standing there ready to go I walked up and said, hey, I just want to let you know. Chorus: Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say Elise, Elise, I believe every word you say. It don't matter if the world don't listen Don't you pay no heed Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me. Elise, Elise, come and sing your song with me... |

Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rocking horse Straight into the pale moonlight, make believe of course But what's a little girl of eight Supposed to do when she's up so late She can't sleep 'cause it sounds like hate Coming from her momma and daddy's room. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Your momma left and your daddy cussed All they ever seem to do is fuss, ride on. Tommy Lee's got a space machine, He keeps it ready on the launching pad 'Cause there've been times that he has seen, An alien invade his dad So he heads out for the stars Past the moon and straight to Mars But what about the invisible scars That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Your momma left and your daddy changed You don't even know who's to blame, so ride on. Bridge: Some people just lose control, Some people hit overload Some people act like some people, They never thought they'd be So why can't we all see The only antidote, The only way to cope The only true hope is love. So everybody won't you. Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before. Go ahead and test your faith There's still a lot of hope, it's never too late. To ride on the wings of love, ride on... |

Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door
With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower That's a sure fire way to make a buck when you're fourteen Well he walked the block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sitting on the front porch eating' ice cream Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didn't wash them thank the lord Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle's gone, but not in their eyes And he's wanting to tell her what's been on his mind lately He said, girl I ain't rich but I've been saving up A little ever day 'til I had enough Before he could finished she said, you know I will baby Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond once a year she takes it out but it don't fit her hand she wears it in her heart that's where it all began Chorus: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young L:ike a Cracker Jack Diamond... --- Instrumental to fade --- |

Everybody comes with baggage Places and poeple before You don't know what all your getting When love walks through your door, through your door. I've had some hills and some valleys You've done some traveling too You can tell by the dents and the scratches Our hearts aren't exactly brand new. Chorus: From now on is all that counts From now on is all that matters That's what living's all about From different roads we find each other You're the only love I want, from now on.

Handful of Dust, Handfuls of Dust,
True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust. Well break us down by our elements, And you might think He failed. We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail. And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust However small though our worth may be, When shared between two hearts. Is evermore than it would ever be Measured on it's own apart. And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust Handfuls of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust... |

Now Joe'd been a teacher gentile and calm Harry, a teamster with a fuse like a bomb Thrown in together by life's crazy whims That pepper and salt like their unshaven chins. Chorus: Harry and Joe lean to and fro They lean on each other wherever they go Two lonely fighters doing all that they know To get through each day, Harry and Joe, Harry and Joe, cheating at cards In a Florida apartment that smells like cigars They brag about grand kids and the wives they love so In the late afternoons of Harry and Joe.

He's got a U.S. flag on his front porch To remind everyone where he lives And up in the attic there are papers that prove The old house is finally his. After thirty-five years the grass still don't grow In that rock hard west Texas ground Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town. Chorus: Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Of a cafe that don't need a name Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll Past the boarded up windows down Main. Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign At the drive-in where my innocence died With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime. And down at the depot where I left for good There's a hobo with his three-legged hound Waitin' for a train, that no longer comes To that old coyote town. And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rythm that don't ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by That old coyote town. Daddy falls asleep in the living room On the sofa with the TV on Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me Sometimes he waits too long But I still think of the people and the place that he loves How much longer will they be around Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust For that old coyote town. Chorus: Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Of a cafe that don't need a name Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll Past the boarded up windows down Main. And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rythm that don't ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by That old coyote town. God bless that old coyote town... |

Cadillac smiles in the ladies' styles in this world They ain't no part of me A hundred dollar bill can cure your ills in this world But it ain't no good to me You see money and clothes are easily burned People and cars are easily turned around I'm looking for something that'll last me all of my life I'm listening for the sound Chorus: I wanna hear her heartbeat In the darkness Everynight of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine A woman trying to find a diamond mine Ain't my kind, she ain't no use to me A big estate with a wrought-iron gate A mansion on the hill, ain't where I wanna be You see without love a house ain't a home A diamond ain't no more than a stone in the ground I'd give evry material thing I own in this life If I could just hear the sound Chorus: I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Everynight of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine --- Instrumental --- Chorus: I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Everynight of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine I wanna hear a heartbeat I wanna hear a heartbeat I wanna hear a heartbeat... |

You can write your own ticket now I'll get by without you somehow Don't you worry about what I'll do I'll be fine without you You say, you think the change will do you good If you feel that way well I guess it would I can live my life without you I've got places to go and things to do. But I'll never be in love again My poor ol' heart will never mend Oh, I'll find someone to hold now and then But I'll never be in love again. --- Instrumental --- Something went wrong along the way And there's nothing I can do to make you stay Well, I never tried to put holds on you That's the last thing I'd ever wanna do So you go your way and I'll go mine And if our paths should cross Somewhere down the line, I'll just say hello and shake your hand But, if tears come to my eyes, please understand. I'll never be in love again My poor ol' heart will never mend Oh, I'll find someone to hold now and then But I'll never be in love again... |

(Spoken) Back in the innocent days There was a young Cowboy Who was in love with a Mexican girl, Only she didn't know it, And he would watch her when she walked back, In the cotton dress which danced in the wind And her eyes held the stars Now, she was the most beautiful thing That cowboy had ever seen Sent down straight from heaven But he was afraid he would never win her heart 'Cause of some family scars left by the rain forest But oww... how he loved her. (Sang) Senoritra passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Senorita could it be Someone like you could love someone like me? --- Instrumental --- (Spoken) So he walked up to her Tipped his hat and introduced himself And she looked up at him and didn't know what to say. So he told her the story of his family The trouble that brought the barbed wire And all the things that he could'nt change And then he told her that he loved her And he studied her reaction And by the time the spring rains came They were married Now, there's an ol' song that my family used to sing 'Bout a young cowboy and a mexican girl And how they fell in love. (Sang) Senorita passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Senorita could it be Someone like you could love someone like me. Senoritra passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Senorita could it be Someone like you could love someone like. Someone like you could love someone like me... |

Once I had a heart cold as ice, Love for me was only for fun. I'd make a mark for each broken heart Like notches on the butt of a gun. Once I had a trick up my sleeve And a reputation all over town. I was heartless and cold wherever I'd go, I shot down every young girl, I found. Yes, I used to be a moonlight bandit. I used to be a heartbreak kid. Then I met you and the next thing I knew, There I was, Oh, shot full of love. Well, who'd have thought that someone like you, Could take a desperado like me, But oh, here I am, I'm as meek as a lamb, My bleeding heart's there at your feet. Yes, I used to be a moonlight bandit. I used to be a heartbreak kid. Then I met you and the next thing I knew, There I was, Oh, shot full of love. Yes, I used to be a moonlight bandit. I used to be a heartbreak kid. Then I met you and the next thing I knew, There I was, Oh, shot full of love... |

Let's not fight it anymore unpack the bags and close the door
I'll never leave you Though you lied right from the start I can't convince my stupid heart Not to believe you You've got two good men strung out and there's not the slightest doubt That other men have loved you before Oh but you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore If I had one ounce of pride I'd stand up or step aside But girl I love you So I'll accept the crumbs you drop cause I'm a fool and I can't stop Or rise above you Let other speak up for themselves I speak for me and no one else Cause I'm a beggar knocking on your door Oh you work your things so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore [ ac.guitar ] I'm too far gone to turn around to lift myself up off the ground And start all over Now him or I must win or lose no matter which one you may choose You'll be in clover Darling while you're making up your mind I'll be praying all the time That you will never never be letting me go Oh you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore Oh you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell Till I can't take it anymore [ guitar ] |

Some days I seem so far away,
From where I want to be, And the things that I've accomplished Seem so small, When I'm weary of the struggle, And I feel I can't go on, You love me through it all. Your love gives me a balance, When I'm standing on the edge, You keep me going When my dreams have stalled, And you're always building bridges, Wven when I'm building walls, You love me through it all. Sometimes I come home bragging, 'Bout the things I've done that day, Like I think that I'm on top and cannot fall, But when I'm high on my successes Thinking only of myself, You love me through it all. --- Instrumental --- Through it all you're there to comfort me, You keep my feet on solid ground, I know that I can make it, As long as you're around. Your love gives me a balance When I'm standing on the edge, You keep me going When my dreams have stalled, And you're always building bridges, Even when I'm building walls, You love me through it all... |

They got a road out in Alaska now, I hear that you can go there. Tell me about Montana, With the cool blue mountain air. I know your honeys got the money, I can understand your wanderlust. Brother, and boy, for me these days, Its refrigerator or bust. I ain't got no words for going, I got no longing for your open road. Don't get found rollin' into town Tuggin' on a heavy load. You've gotta give me the nights with the city lights, And the people buzzin' everywhere. One hand upon the parking meter, The other on her easy chair. I'll send her roses, Send her roses everyday. If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my day. I'll send her roses, Send her roses once in awhile. I'm a long, long way from outta here, But you know I'm gonna go in style. --- Instrumental --- Well, I was rollin' around Boston town, Wasn't hardly anybody I know. Got to singin' low for the first three rows, Puttin' on a lousy show. Well then I met her, I had to let her buy my lunch, I got the flowery plate. I'm telling you why, Good brother don't laugh, Think I got me one suitable mate. I'll send her roses, Send her roses every day. If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my day. I'll send her roses, Send her roses by the dozen. I've been having me a whirl with a pretty girl, And she told me she liked my lovin'. I'll send her roses, Send her roses every day. If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my day. I'll send her roses, Send her roses by the dozen.

Honey when the light's not in your eyes
Just makes me want to cry Cause I know what's ahead for me and you Even after all that we've been through When your eyes don't want to see me When your arms don't hold me near When your lips won't speak to soothe me Cause the light's not shining clear When your eyes don't want to see me When your arms don't hold me near When your lips won't speak to soothe me Cause the light's not shining clear I wish I had the magic words to say So the light would never go away It's so hard for me to realize My world is in the light that's in your eyes. It's so hard for me to realize It depends upon the light that's in your eyes. |

Some people say that love is a rose Maybe they've hit it right on the nose But other folks say that it's like the sun Well, a long time ago daddy said to me I'll help you clear up the mystery I'll give you a simple rule of thumb. If it knocks you off your feet Then it's love, then it's love If it makes your life complete Then it's love, then it's love If it turns you upside down Then it's love, then it's love. If it makes your world go 'round Then it's love. The dictionary won't tell you much If love is the word you're looking up I don't believe that the definition's right And the encyclopedia won't reveal The crazy way you start to feel Kissing on a moonlit summers night. If it knocks you off your feet Then it's love, then it's love If it makes your life complete Then it's love, then it's love If it turns you upside down Then it's love, then it's love If it makes your world go 'round Then it's love. --- Instrumental --- So gonna say that love is a game Maybe compare it to a flame Or say it's a medicine that heals But a band of experts could fight all night And never figure out which one is right But they'd agree on how it makes you feel. If it knocks you off your feet Then it's love, then it's love If it makes your life complete Then it's love, then it's love If it turns you upside down Then it's love, then it's love If it makes your world go 'round Then it's love. Well, if it makes your world go 'round Then it's love. ooh ooh ooh... |

If I could write about the way you make me feel
I wonder what I'd write 'Cause of all the words there are to use They'd never say it right When I only have a minute And It'd take a thousand hours And some new words too But my nights are never blue And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you When I'm with you the songs are already written Melodies turn into words nobody's ever said When I'm alone the only thing I can say that's true Is my nights are never blue And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you --- Instrumental --- So if I could write about the way you make me feel I don't know what I'd write 'Cause of all the words there are to use They'd never say it right When I only have a minute And It'd take a thousand hours And all those new words, too But my nights are never blue And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you... |

Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest, First thing every morning that I do, Is start missing you Some broken hearts never mend, Some memories never end, Some tears will never dry, My love for you will never die Rendezvous in the night, A willing woman to hold me tight, But in the middle of love's embrace, I see your face Some broken hearts never mend, Some memories never end, Some tears will never dry, My love for you will never die |

I ain't gonna marry in the fall I ain't gonna marry in the spring 'Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl Who wears a diamond ring. And I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars Gold in the mornin' sun Gold in the mornin' sun. Never gonna kiss The ruby red lips Of the prettiest girl in town Never gonna ask her if she'd Marry me I know she'd turn me down. 'Cause I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the mornin' sun Gold in the mornin' sun. I never could afford A store bought ring With a sparkling diamond stone All I could afford Is a loving heart The only one I own.

The night was dark, rain falling down
Looked for my baby she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore 'Fraid she's gone forever more I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice crying in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep Why did we quarrel, why did we fight Why did I leave her alone tonight That's why her footsteps ran into the sea That's why my baby is gone from me I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice crying in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my baby, held her to me Stole her away from the endless sleep I looked at the sea and it seemed to say You took your baby from me away My heart cried out, she's mine to keep I saved my baby from that endless sleep... |

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone While the sun is bright Or in the darkest night No one knows She comes and goes. Goodbye, ruby tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you. Don't question why she needs to be so free She'll tell you it's the only way to be She just can't be chained To a life where nothing's gained Or nothing's lost At such a cost. Goodbye, ruby tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you. There's no time to lose, I heard her say Catch your dreams before they slip away Dying all the time Lose your dreams And you will lose your mind. Ain't life unkind?

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... |
