"Till I Can't Take It Anymore"


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 others 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.

[Instrumental]

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.

[Instrumental to fade]

"Till The Rivers All Run Dry"


Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you.

I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you, 'cause I'll need you.

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you.

[Instrumental]

Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me, in every way.

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you...

"Time"



Some people run, some people crawl,
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forwards
Some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light,
Some wrapped in fearful black.

Time, oh time, where did you go
Time, oh good, good time where did you go?

Sometimes I'm satisfied,
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold,
Sometimes it's hot
Sunset I laugh, sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between
And wondering why.

Time, oh time, where did you go
Time, oh good, good time where did you go?

Time, oh time, where did you go
Time, oh good, good time where did you go?..

"Time On My Hands"


Everyday of my life until forever
Is spoken for when you looked at me.
Now that you're gone my life goes on
But all of the heart is out of me.

[Chorus:]
And I've got time on my hands, you on my mind.
No where to send all my love
And I'll be here waiting if you ever change your plans
'Cause you own this time on my hand.

Each mornin' I see the future before me
Empty and as endless as the sky
I should be here to build life again
But I just can't find the reason why.

[Chorus:]
While, I've got time on my hands, you on my mind.
No where to send all my love,
I'll be here waiting if you ever change your plans.
'Cause you own the time on my hand...

"Too Late To Turn Back Now"



Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm.

Getting in deep, losing my sleep
Thinking of you all the time
I feel I'm falling under your spell
About to lose my mind.

But it's too late to turn back now
Umm umm umm, it's too late now
Too late to turn back now
Umm umm umm, you got me now.

Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm,
Umm umm umm, Umm umm umm.

Feel the danger in your touch
Haunts me night and day
You know I want you way too much
But I can't walk away.

'Cause it's too late to turn back now
Umm umm umm, it's too late now
Too late to turn back now
Umm umm umm, you got me now.

Too late, it's too late now;
Umm umm umm, you got me now
Too late, it's too late now,
Umm umm umm, you got me now
Too late, it's too late now,
Umm umm umm, you got me now...

"Too Many Tears (To Make Love Strong)"


It's coming all apart babe
With every tearing word
I've lost my taste for what I take from you
When a painful night of silence
Is the sweetest sound I've heard
If I play your game I'm cheating on the truth

[Chorus]
It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong

It takes a lot of living
A lot of going through
To finally see and end to going down
There's no getting up my courage
For making up with you
'Cause making up just finds another round

[Repeat chorus x2]

"Too Much Love"


Too much coffee, too much tea,
Too much sugar isn't good for me.
Too much money and too much fame,
Too much liquer drives a man insane.

But too much love, too much love,
There's no such thing as gettin' too much love
OOhh love, Oohh love,
There's no such thing as gettin' too much love.

Too much fighting and misery,
there's too much trouble in this world for me.
There's too much of this and too much of that
and too much of anything will make you fat.
But too much love, too much love,
there's no such thing as gettin' too much love.

[Instrumental]

Too many people saying don't do that,
It's a no, no, no, no, no.
I don't need telling where it's at
I said I know, know, know, know, know, know.

Too much pleasure and too much pain,
Somewhere someone's getting too much rain
And too much junk's being advertised
And too much television hurts your eyes.

But too much love, too much love,
There's no such thing as gettin' too much love
Oohh love, Oohh love,
There's no such thing as gettin' too much love.

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la...

"True Blue Hearts"



You have your ways, I sure have mine.
We have our days, things go just fine.
Then there are days we'd leave if we could.
Should we break it off when it's not that good?

Fairweather minds need the sunshine,
It has to show which way to go,
But true blue hearts see through the dark
And keeps our mind on days of sunshine.

Each of us know, try as we may
Those bad old times keep coming our way.
We're digging in, there's just no retreat.
Too many we know are down in defeat.

Fairweather minds need the sunshine,
It has to show which way to go,
But true blue hearts see through the dark
And keeps our mind on days of sunshine...

"Tulsa Time"



I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine.

My baby said, I'z crazy
My mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
And I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you'll know I been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa Time.

Well, there I was in Hollywood
Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess, I'm just a wastin' time.

Well, then I got to thinkin'
Man I'm really sinkin'
An I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin'
An nobody would be grievin'
If I just went on back to Tulsa time.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through
Livin' on Tulsa time.

"Walkin' A Broken Heart"



Walkin' down this midnight street
Just the sound of two lonely feet
Walkin' a broken heart, walkin' a broken heart.

The empty city not a soul in sight
And a misty rain falls on a perfect night
To walk a broken heart, to walk a broken heart.

I know if you're thinkin' this couldn't happen to you
You'd be a fool for believin'
Dreams won't fly away, sometimes they do.

I know if you're thinkin' this couldn't happen to you
You'd be a fool for believin'
Dreams won't fly away, sometimes they do.

So if you've been hurt and you're feelin' lost
Put your paperback, back and turn your TV off
And walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart.
Walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart.
Go, walk your broken heart...

"Wash It All Away"



Day by day
Seems like you drift away
Maybe it's just a phase
But it won't take a lot
To put out this fire we've got
What's left just don't seem so hot
It flickers and strains
Waits for the rain.

As it fades from a fire
To a dying flame,
And it looks like rain
See the clouds in the sky
They don't even seem to mind
It will die don't they know
Feel the wind begin to blow
Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.

If I cover this flame
Safe from the pouring rain
I don't think it would change a thing
'Cause I just believe
It's got to have room to breath
So it occurs to me
I could lose either way
Here comes the rain.

As it fades from a fire
To a dying flame,
And it looks like rain
See the clouds in the sky
They don't even seem to mind
It will die don't they know
Feel the wind begin to blow
Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.

Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.
If you don't come back the rain
Will wash it all away...

"We Can Sing"


I want to be a worker, I want to sing and pray
I never want to be a stumbling block along the way
But in the hour of living so many people say
They all have all the answers but they all have different ways.

But we can sing glory hallelujah, brother
We can sing if we put our hearts together
If we pray no one really has to tell us what to say
Maybe we can really find the way.

[Instrumental]

Well, I hope it comes together instead of all apart
'Cause the better things of living are written in our hearts
But on the stage this morning the trouble is the star
Happiness is measured by houses and our cars.

But we can sing glory hallelujah, brother
We can sing if we put our hearts together
If we pray no one really has to tell us what to say
Maybe we can really find the way.

But we can sing glory hallelujah, brother
We can sing if we put our hearts together
If we pray no one really has to tell us what to say
Maybe we can really find the way.

[Instrumental to fade]

"We Got Love"


You, You got me
We got somethin' everybody else can see
Me, I got you
We got a good thing honey you know we do

Friends, they all know
'cause we can't help but let it show
Smiles, we can't hide
We got somethin' just too good to hold inside

[CHORUS]
We don't need no money, honey you and I
What we've got together, money just can't buy
What we've got, there's plenty of
I've got you, you've got me, we got love.

[Instrumental]

Time, Moves along
And honey we just keep on a keepin' on
'cause love, makes us strong
As long as we've got love, We can't go wrong

[CHORUS]

"We Never Tried It With Each Other"


Well, show me your wounds, I'll show you my scars.
We'll compare our broken hearts.
I know what you've been through.
I've been hurt just like you.

Love makes you sad, it makes you cry.
You've had tears and so have I.
Don't give up on love yet.
We might just have one chance left,

'Cause we've been used, we've been hurt,
We've had so many lovers, but how do we know
Love wont work, we never tried it with each other.

[Instrumental]

So get it off, off of your chest.
I know how it feels myself.
It's good for me and you
to have someone
to talk to

and maybe who knows,
Maybe in time
you and I might change our minds
something tells me somehow.
This time love just might work out.

'Cause we've been used, we've been hurt,
We've had so many lovers, but how do we know
Love wont work we never tried it with each other.

'Cause we've been used, we've been hurt,
We've had so many lovers, but how do we know
Love wont work we never tried it with each other...

[Instrumental to free]

"We Should Be Together"


I think about you
When I don't want to
Dream about your smiling face
I keep trying not to love you
But I love you anyway

We should be together, together
We should be walking side by side
We should be together, together
Keeping each other satisfied

I have thought to come to know you
I've come to need your company
What will I do if I can't have you
If I can't have you
What will I do

We should be together, together
We should be walking side by side
We should be together, together
Keeping each other satisfied

[Instrumental]

We should be together, together
We should be walking side by side
We should be together, together
Keeping each other satisfied...

"We Should Only Have Time For Love"



Today we laid old man Pate to rest
His big hands folded across his chest
God rest his soul, just two days ago
He was in his yard wavin' to me

As I stood by his grave
The impression was strong
One minute we're here
And the next we're gone
And with each breath of life
That is given to us
We should only have time for love

So tell me what can be gained
By fussing and fighting
The answer is left up to us
I think it's time we learned,
Enough is enough
Oh, we should only have time for love

Sometimes I'm unwilling to open my eyes
Just too stubborn to compromise
When you stand your ground
Oh, there's no backin' down
That makes for a long, bitter fight

And you know it's such a waste
To engage in that
Tearing each other down
In a tit for tat
When we could be hard at work,
Building a trust
Oh, we should only have time for love

So tell me what can be gained
By fussing and fighting
The answer is left up to us
I think it's time we learned,
Enough is enough
Oh, we should only have time for love

Well, isn't it time we learned,
Enough is enough
Oh, we should only have time for love...

"We're All The Way"


There's no cause to think that I won't stay
Haven't I been with you all the way
There's no time like now to make amends
'Cause after all, we're more than friends.

This could be the time for you and me
We could go wherever we should be
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say
And don't be acting halfway when you know we're all the way.

There are times when I don't see the light
And I don't know if what I do is right,
But if I'm wrong, it's never meant for you
So don't confuse my love with what I do.

[Chorus]

"We've Got A Good Fire Goin'"


There's a storm rollin' over the hill
And the willow trees are blowin'
I'm standin' here starin' out the window
Safe and warm
I feel her put her arms around me
And its a good feelin' I'm knowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'.

We've got a feast on the supper table
And bread for breakin'
A blessing from the Lord
For makin' me such a fortunate man
The light of my life in the candle
Her face a glowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'.

[Chorus:]
So let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain
It won't do nothin' but kindle
A never ending flame
Let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain til mornin'
Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'.

[Instrumental]

Now there's a hard rain fallin' on the roof
Coffee comin' from the kitchen
I'm lyin' here listenin' to the ceiling
On the living room floor
I feel her lay down beside me
My love is overflowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'.

[Chorus:]
So let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain
It won't do nothin'
But kindle a never ending flame
Let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain til mornin'
Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'.

Oh, I've got a good woman
And we've got a good fire goin'...

"What Does It Matter To Me"


I see her walkin' down the street
What does it matter to me
I can wonder who she might be
What does it matter to me

Is there someone who
She could be runnin' to
She's gonna do what she's gonna do
What does it matter to me

Seems she's everywhere I look
What does it matter to me
And her looks could fill a book
What does it matter to me

There's no need for me to try
Or even wonder why
Just let her walk on by

On winter's eve, my soul has soared
With desert's evening sky
But never seen the beauty,
I see in her eyes...

[Instrumental]

There's no need for me to try
Or even wonder why
Just let her walk on by
What does it matter to me
What does it matter to me

What does it matter to me

What does it matter to me...
