"What If It Worked Like That"



What if we were old when we got here
Got a little younger every year
And we all laughed in the face of fear
like it was nothing

What if we could all come in first place
take our time without being late
drink a few beers just to get in shape
yeah, wouldn't be something

What if it worked like that
what if this big old world didn't turn so fast
took a little less and gave a little more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that

What if we had to many friends
had more money than we could stand
And all the good times wouldn't end
they'd just keep on comin;

What if we could hug the ones we missed?
Clocking in meant catching fish
And all the pride and prejudice
Had to give into login?

What if it worked like that
what if this big old world didn't turn so fast
took a little less and gave a little more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that

What if it worked like that
what if this big old world didn't turn so fast
It took a little less and gave more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that

"What's The Score"


What's the score, I can't tell anymore
Are we winning, are we losing, are we tied?
What's the score it ain't what it was before
Can anybody tell me what's the score.

I hurt you and you hurt me
Seems we both just try to see
How far we can push each others hearts
And it's a never ending game
Where the rules don't stay the same
And the more we play
The more we're forced apart.

What's the score, I can't tell anymore
Are we winning, are we losing, are we tied?
What's the score, well, it ain't what it was before
Can anybody tell me what's the score.

I forgive and you do too
Seems that's all we ever do
And I'm not sure who's turn it is today
I break your heart, you break mine
We're about to cross the line
Where the game of loves no longer fun to play

What's the score, I can't tell anymore
Are we winning, are we losing, are we tied?
What's the score, well, it ain't what it was before
Can anybody tell me what's the score.

"When I'm With You"


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...

"When Will I Ever Learn"



You call me at five to five,
And you ask me if I'll drop by
That you need me,
Tonight you're all alone.
Like the fool I am and the fool I'll be,
I drove there anxiously
But when I got there,
You were not alone.

When will I ever learn
That you'll never care about me.
You only build me up
To bring me down again.
When will I ever learn
That you'll use me and abuse me.
Oh, tell me, when will I ever learn.

When will I learn, when will I get wise,
You never, apologise.
I swear that this time I'm through with you.
But like the fool I am and the fool I'll be
The next time you need me,
Once again I'll give in to you.

When will I ever learn,
That you'll never care about me
You only build me up
To bring me down again
When will I ever learn,
That you'll use me and abuse me
Oh tell me, when will I ever learn...

"Where Are You"


Where is the sun,
Where is the day I'm looking for
Where is the moon,
Where are the stars that shined before
Where are you, where are you?

Where is the time when hours
Were like minutes here before
Where are the nights
When it was warm and even on the floor
Where are you, where are you?

[Instrumental]

Where are the eyes that looked at me
With love and nothing more
Where are the arms that made me feel so
Welcome at the door
Where are you, where are you?

"Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma"



Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back

I met her in Stillwell, she just turned twenty
A spirited beauty like I've never known
And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river
But she said she loved me and the free life I owned

We married in April and lived by the river
We worked that land from spring 'til the fall
But I guess when the winter howled at our window
She couldn't help hearing that wild river call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back

She tried to conquer that wild rage within her
But something too strong ran deep in her soul
But I know she loved me, she cried like a baby
That cold winter evening she answered the call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back.

"Which Way To Santa Fe"



Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico
I've got some things to say, she needs to know
Small brown adobe there, where lives my heart
I just can't make it here, with us apart
Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico

There was a dream I had, I had to see
Salt of the ocean breeze, calling to me
So much for me to do, so much to be
Where is the dream I had, what do I see

How can so much so right, be wrong
Why should you have to leave
To know where you belong

Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico
I've got some things to say, she needs to know
Small brown adobe there, where lives my heart
I just can't make it here, with us apart
Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico

Which way is Santa Fe, New Mexico...

"Why Lord Goodbye"


Walk round town,
Spending my money,
Thinking 'bout you.
Wondering why,
'Cause you were my honey,
What did I do.

I'm tired, yes
I'm tired,
Why Lord goodbye
I've tried, yes
I've tried,
Why Lord goodbye.

[Instrumental]

You made my life,
Oh, so much better,
Bein' with you
'Cause since you've been gone,
I don't know whether,
I'll make it through.

'Cause I'm tired, yes
I'm tired,
Why Lord goodbye
I've tried, yes
I've tried,
Why Lord goodbye...

"Wish I Was In Nashville"


I went to see my honeydew,
She lived just down the way
I got stuck and the truck froze up
And I only got half way.

Sittin' here on the muddy road,
Stuck here all alone
The rain won't stop it's a beatin' on the top
And I should have stayed at home.

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh.

Must have been a half a day,
Before I got back home
The roads all mud the creeks gonna flood
And I'm here all alone

Sure feels good a gettin' back
To my old shack again
But I'm all soaked and the radios broke
And the rain keeps pouring in.

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh.

[Instrumental]

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh...

"Wonderful Tonight"



It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

"Working Man's Son"



If all I get is what I've got
If the good lord says you've had your shot
Once I got past my state of shock
I'd Smile and tell him thanks a lot
If all I do is what I've done
Put my last notch on my gun
Well I'd look back at how far I've come
And I'd say not bad for a working man's son
I've had my fun I've made some friends
I've loved and lost and loved again
Been down that less traveled road
Just to see how far it goes
Spoke my mind I've been myself
Tried not to hurt nobody else
But if I did I hope they'll forgive
I've wasted time I've blown some cash
Lost some things I won't get back
A few times there I got off track
But I'm hoping Gods OK with that
I've had my fun I've made some friends
I've loved and lost and loved again
Been down that less traveled road
Just to see how far it goes
Spoke my mind I've been myself
Tried not to hurt nobody else
But if I did I hope they'll forgive
I'd like to think I'll still be here
To celebrate a hundred years
With a lit cigar and an Ice cold beer
Latin heart and thinking clear
But if I'm not I've had my run
Not bad for a working man's son

"Wrong End Of The Rainbow"


I know this feelin' from somewhere,
I know I've been here before.
The one I love forever
Doesn't love me anymore.
So here I am heartache.
My only friend,
Wrong end of the rainbow, again.

I was lookin' for true love,
But I didn't get far
Before I tied all my heartstrings,
To some falling star.
Now here I am heartache
My only friend,
Wrong end of the rainbow, again.

Between the winning and losing
There's a very fine line.
This time I felt like a winner,
When I was losin' all the time.

I get this rainy day feeling
That I'm gonna be blue.
I thought the day I found her
I'd seen the last of you.
But here I am heartache,
My only friend,
Wrong end of the rainbow, again.

[Instrumental]

Here I am heartache,
My only friend,
Wrong end of the rainbow, again...

"Years From Now"



Years from now,
I'll want you years from now
I'll hold you years from now
As I hold you tonight

You are my one true friend
Always my one true friend
And I'll love you till life's end,
As I love you tonight.

I know this world that we live in
Can be hard now and then
And it will be again,
Many times we've been down

Still love has kept us together
For the flame never dies
When I look in your eyes
All the future I see.

Holding you years, from now
Wanting you years, from now
Loving you years, from now
As I love you tonight...

"Yellow Moon"


The moon is on the rise it stares at me tonight.
I'm reminded of the arms that held me tight.
Last time I held you it ended all to soon
We were lying underneath a yellow moon.

There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Oh, I wonder if you're watchin' it too.
There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Wherever you are it's watchin' over you.
Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon.

[Instrumental]

Sometimes we sit and talk me and that old moon.
I ask him are you happy or if you're blue.
I start to reminisce to summers night in June,
We fell in love underneath a yellow moon.

There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Oh, I wonder if you're watchin' it too.
There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Wherever you are it's watchin' over you.
Oh. shine on, shine on yellow moon.

There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Oh, I wonder if you're watchin' it too.
There's a yellow moon hangin' in a starry sky
Wherever you are it's watchin' over you.
Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon...

"You Get To Me"


You get to me
And it's been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can't believe
How you get to me.

Night after night
I've tried holdin' you tight
And then I'll stay away.
I've tried holdin' your hand,
Bein' your man
And just anyway.
When it comes down to feelings
It's always the same old song,
My poor hearts just reelin'
But you act like something's wrong.

You get to me
And it's been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can't believe
How you get to me.

[Instrumental]

If I could cry,
Bring a tear to your eye,
Maybe that's the way.
'Cause were in the strains
Of livin' your pains from yesterday.
Really got to keep on growin',
Lookin' for the brighter day.
Like the water that keeps on flowin'
Well, I just can't stay away.

'Cause, You get to me
And it's been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can't believe
How you get to me.

Oh, you get to me
And it's been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can't believe
How you get to me...

"You Keep Coming 'Round"


You sure know how to get to me
Somehow you just wont let it be
We both know it's all in vain
But you keep coming 'round again.

The many days and nights we've tried
But every time somebody's cried
And every time should be the end
But you keep coming 'round again.

Beats any I ever saw
'Cause I know how its gonna go
But it just keeps going
I guess I keep thinking well,
Maybe you're not stringing me on
But if you are that string sure has been long

There's something there within your eyes
That somehow seems to paralyse
And like before I never went
You keep coming 'round again.

[Instrumental to fade]

"You Love Me Through It All"


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,
When 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...

"You're My Best Friend"



You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I've never known
You gave life to our children
And to me a reason to go on.

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all you're my best friend.

When I need hope and inspiration
You're always strong when I'm tired and weak
I could search This whole world over
You'll still be everything that I need.

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all you're my best friend.

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all you're my best friend...

"You're The Only One"


You're the only one that's ever understood
You're the only one that makes the bad times good
You're the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You're the only one that heals me with your smile.

And I smile to think you love me
And to feel you need me too
As for me I know where I'll be
I'll be where I'm loving you.

You're the only one that's ever understood
You're the only one that makes the bad times good
You're the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You're the only one that heals me with your smile.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I'd die if you should leave me
Here alone I'd be so blue
So believe me when I tell you
That my life is loving you.

You're the only one that's ever understood
You're the only one that makes the bad times good
You're the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You're the only one that heals me with your smile.

You're the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You're the only one that heals me with your smile...

"You've Got A Friend"



When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothin’, nothin’ is goin’ right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall all you’ve got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will, you’ve got a friend

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon I’ll be knockin’ upon your door

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall all you’ve got to do is call
And I’ll be there

Hey ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, desert you
They’ll take your soul if you let them
So don’t you let them

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall all you’ve got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will
You’ve got a friend
