"My Woman's Love"


Nightime finds me reaching out to you
Days are only waiting time it's true
Lovely lady you're so warm and fine
I just can't believe that you're all mine.

Even in my dreams you're calling me
Saying things I just can't believe
'Cause everything you say is oh, so fine
I can't believe your woman's love is mine.

Two lips that love and never tell me no
Two eyes that see and set my heart aglow
Two arms that hold me like no one could know
I could never leave my woman's love.

[Instrumental]

Lovely lady you're inside of me
In the part that makes this life for me
So never leave me, stay there for all time.
Spinning round inside this heart of mine.

With Two lips that love and never tell me no
Two eyes that see and set my heart aglow
Two arms that hold me like no one could know
I could never leave my woman's love...

""No Problem"



Nobody's life is perfect,
Nobody wins' em all
In everybody's backyard,
A little rain must fall.

And when I think about you,
You're just the way you are
If you were any different,
Oh, it would break my heart.

You talk too much you laugh too loud
When you hold my hand you act too proud
You give me more lovin' than a man's allowed
If that's the biggest problem I've got, no problem.

My house is not a mansion,
My car is not brand new
My clothes are out of fashion,
My road's got a bump or two.

But when I think about you,
The way you smile so sweet
I know that you're not perfect
But you're close enough for me.

You talk too much you laugh too loud
When you hold my hand you act too proud
You give me more lovin' than a man's allowed
If that's the biggest problem I've got, no problem.

If that's the biggest problem I've got
If that's the biggest problem I've got
If that's the biggest problem I've got
No problem.

No problem.
Nobody's life is perfect,
Nobody wins' em all.
No problem...

""No Use Running"


The weather vane out on the shed
Is looking to the west
I reckon I'll head that way,
It's good as any way I guess
Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode
'Cause there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Gal, it wouldn't take much
For someone to define
All the contradicting flashes
That burn across our minds
But there's no way to communicate
If you don't know the code
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

[Instrumental]

There's times I get to thinking
about the way it might have been
And I wonder how we got
To this state that were in
But every word we spoke
Only added to the load
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Guess we knew somethings
You've got to fight to win
But you get to standing back
After leading with your chin
We both learned to young
That you reap what's been sowed
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Well, there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road...

""Nobody But You"



Who, by touching my hand
Makes me understand, questions my heart is asking
Who, opened my eyes, made me realise
Love is everlasting.

Nobody but you, nobody but you
Nobody else, could love me, like you do
Nobody but you, could see me through
Your love is true and I don't need nobody but you.

Who comes just close enough
And shows me that love is nothing to be afraid of
Who, holds me so tight every night
And shows me what love is made of.

Nobody but you, nobody but you
Nobody else, could love me, like you do
Nobody but you, could see me through
Your love is true and I don't need nobody but you...

""Not A Chance"


Oh, If you could only see me
In the day or in the night
Maybe then you would believe me
When I say everything's alright.

Have I told you if you leave me
Winter, summer, spring or fall
I could never love another
It's you and me or none at all.

I'll never smile again
Not me, I'll never dance
I'll never love again
Not me, not a chance.

[Instrumental]

I don't think I'd get up-tight now
'Bout this life I live alone
And everything would be alright now
When you just bring it on, back home.

'Cause, I'll never smile again
Not me, I'll never dance
I'll never love again
Not me, not a chance.

I'll never smile again
Not me, I'll never dance
I'll never love again
Not me, not a chance.

[Instrumental to fade]

""Now And Then"


Now and then
A loser wins
Gets a winning hand
Now and then.

Once in awhile
The angels smile
And someone's life
Turns out just right.

Now and then
Dreams come true
When someone like me,
Is loved by someone like you.

So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.

But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you.

[Instrumental]

It'll always be
A mystery
That in all this world
You chose me.

It's good to know
That now and then
It all turned around
And there's really a rainbow's end.

Now and then
Dreams come true
When someone like me,
Is loved by someone like you.

So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.

But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you.

So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.

But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you...

""Oh Misery"


Oh misery, coming down all over me
Oh, can't you see, you're the one that I need?

You don't seem to notice, the way I feel
You don't seem to understand, my love is real
You don't seem to care at all, how hard I try
And I do try, Lord knows I try.

Oh misery, coming down all over me
Oh, can't you see, you're the only one that I need?

[Instrumental]

If you'd stop to listen, I know you'd hear
If you'd stop to look, you'd see me here
But you don't seem to care at all, that I could cry
I don't know why, can't let it lie.

Oh misery, coming down all over me
Oh, can't you see, you're the one that I need?..

""Old Coyote Town"


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...

""One Good Well"


There's a million oil rigs pumping
That black gold all over the world
Sheiks and cowboy billionaires
In limousines loaded with sparkling girls
But money can't buy happiness
Just listen to the stories they tell
All you need to really suceed in life
Is one good well.

It takes one good well,
Deep and ever-flowing
One good well,
To draw from night and day
Pure and fine, it's yours and mine
And it's, always enough
We've got one good well,
Overflowing with everlasting love.

[Instrumental]

Don't it seem kinda funny
How people with a lot of money
Only hunger for more
You think they'd learn
That money can burn,
It's love that keeps
The wolf from the door
Precious love lies deep inside,
Hearts you can't buy and sell
When the money's low,
Still we know we got,
One good well.

It takes one good well,
Deep and ever-flowing
One good well,
To draw from night and day
Pure and fine, it's yours and mine
And it's, always enough
We've got one good well,
Overflowing with everlasting love.

We've got one good well,
Overflowing with everlasting love...

"One Like Me"


You are my sunshine, you are my rain
You make me happy, (and you) never complain
When life gets tested, and all disarranged
You clear the air, (and) help me not go insane

[CHORUS:]
I can’t afford a life for me
See what you see
How could you be OK, with one like me?

I have your shoulder, I have your heart
When we are together, when we are apart
Love just keeps coming, at such a blinding speed
You hold me up, (and) save me up from the stampede

[CHORUS:]
I can’t afford a life for me
See what you see
How could you be OK, with one like me?

How could you be OK, with one like me?
One like me…

""Only Love"



You may live alone and close your eyes,
Some folks do
You may dream a dream that's twice your size,
All night through
When the morning comes who's to tell
Your dreams to, only you.

Only love, love only, only love, will do
Only love, love only, only love comes true
Nothing else you see, there's nothing else,
Only love, only love.

I have known a love within my heart,
One for you
When this love began right from the start,
I never knew
If love should come your way you'd ever say,
I love you, I love you.

Only love, love only, only love, will do
Only love, love only, only love, comes true
Nothing else you see, there's nothing else,
Only love, only love.

Only love, love only, only love, will do
Only love, love only, only love, comes true
Nothing else you see, there's nothing else,
Only love, only love...

"Only Water (Shining In The Air)"



Not that long ago I was on the run
People telling me I should be someone
And the things I'd learned were forgotten in my haste
Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased.

It was only water shining in thin air
I put out my hand and there was nothing there
After all the promise, after all the prayer
It was only water shining in the air.

Now I've got a wife and she sees my through
And I've got a friend I can talk straight to
And I've got some dreams just a bit more down to earth
And I don't forget what a rainbow's really worth.

'Cause it's only water shining in thin air
I put out my hand and there was nothing there
After all the promise, after all the prayer
It was only water shining in the air.

If you want fame and fortune, then you just be my guest
If you want to pay those dues, I wish you all the best.

But it's only water shining in the air
I put out my hand and there was nothing there
After all the promise, after all the care
It was only water shining in the air.

It was only water shining in the air...

""Peace Train"


I've been happy lately thinkin'
About the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun.

Oh, I've been smilin' lately
Dreamin' about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday its goin' to come.

'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train.

Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train.

Now get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
Because its getting nearer
It soon will be with you.

Now come and join the living
Accept the point of view
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true.

[Instrumental]

I've been cryin' lately
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we love and live.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on, come on, come on.

Yes peace train
Yes, its the peace train...

"Pressure Makes Diamonds"


Well, we've had our troubles, we've had our hard times
Where some might have stumbled, we've always survived
Sometimes love weakens, when the chips are all down
But what we've got together gets stronger somehow.

Pressure makes Diamonds much harder than stone
And they only get finer as each day goes on
We've been through some bad times
But we made it somehow
'Cause if pressure makes diamonds,
Our love's a diamond by now.

[Instrumental]

Well, we know the feelin' when the world closes in
We've been there before, love, and we might go again
The road may get rocky, life may get hard
But the whole world together can't tear us apart.

Pressure makes Diamonds much harder than stone
And they only get finer as each day goes on
We've been through some bad times
But we made it somehow
'Cause if pressure makes diamonds,
Our love's a diamond by now.

Pressure makes Diamonds much harder than stone
And they only get finer as each day goes on
We've been through some bad times
But we made it somehow
'Cause if pressure makes diamonds,
Our love's a diamond by now...

"Pretend"


Pretend your happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without and end
Whenever you pretend.

Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be a lot
If you pretend.

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes she'll be there
You'll never be alone.

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend.

[Instrumental]

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes she'll be there
You'll never be alone.

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend...

""Rainy Night And Memories"


It's hard to hide a lingering disappointment
But most of the time I wear it well
Bur there are times when I just can't help remembering
The night you left, that rainy night when my whole future fell.

Rainy nights and memories go together
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading,
On the night you were leaving
But I might have well have tried to stop the rain.

[Instrumental]

The blowing wind that moans outside my window
Seems to echo the closing of a door
For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye
And my whole world went crumbling to the floor.

Rainy nights and memories go together
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading,
On the night you were leaving
But I might have well have tried to stop the rain..

""Rake And Ramblin' Man"


[Recitation]
I ran into an old friend of mine the other day
We hadn't seen each other for quite a while
What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard
'Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way, he said.

[Sing]
I thought it would be so easy
Another one-night stand
She seemed so warm and willing
Right in the palm of my hand
Now its three months ago last Wednesday
Since I woke up in her bed
Lord, I think I love her,
But it scares me half to death.

[Chorus]
'Cause you know I'm a rake and a ramblin' man
Free as an eagle flies
Well, look at me now and tell me true
Do I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?

Now she's feeling' sick in the mornings,
She can't get into her jeans
I spent my last ten dollars,
Bought her a second hand ring
I start to work next Monday,
Cause I just can't let her down
I've had me some good times,
But it's all changin' now.

[Repeat chorus twice]

""Reason To Be"


First I was love, then I came to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though my heart was working I found
Still there was something it had not found.

So I went away hoping to see
Maybe I'd find what's missing in me
Knowing so well but not knowing why
If I didn't find this something I'd die.

[Instrumental]

And then I came to where I had been
I knew the first was still not the end
What I had left was not what I found
Because there was you, because there I found.

First I was love, then I came to be
I had a heart inside of me
And though my heart is still part of me
You give my heart it's reason to be...

""Reason To Believe"



If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give and never think of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way and I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cry
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give and never think of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way and I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cry
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
