"Fly Away"



Fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin'
Fly, fly away, just don't give me no warnin'.

Go on girl fly away
If that's what you want to do
'Cause whatever's left to say girl
It won't come from me and you.

So fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin'
Fly, fly away, just don't give me no warnin'.

I guess everything's been done
But if there's nothing here for you
If you want to chase the sun girl
Well that's just what you ought to do.

And fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin'
Fly, fly away, just don't give me no warnin'.
Fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin'...

"Fool Fool Heart"



Fool, fool heart, what have you done
I thought by now you'd had enough but
Oh no, you've got me falling in love, again.

Fool, fool heart, guess you'll never learn
Taking chances like you do isn't smart
My fool, fool heart.

Fool, fool heart how quickly you forget
Just when you were about to mend
You get to feeling lucky so you try it, again.

You're a fool, fool heart think you're bound to get it right
And that love's just a puzzle with a missing part
But you're a fool, fool heart.

Fool heart, God only knows
How you make it through the highs and the lows
Fool heart I wouldn't mind if
I thought it would be the last time.

Fool, fool heart, you know
We've been through this before
Seems like you said you'd given up
That you were through with being lost in love.

My fool, fool heart guess you've got to play love's game
Still the losing is the hardest part, my fool, fool heart.

Still the losing is the hardest part, my fool, fool heart...

"From Now On"


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.

I'm thankful for the ones before me
I'm grateful that they didn't stay
We can't do a thing about it
And it's made us who we are today.

[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.

[Instrumental]

[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...

"Games People Play"


Oh, the games people play now,
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now,
Never saying what they mean.

They just wile away the hours,
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers,
In the back of a black limousine.

La da da, da da da, da da
La da da, da da da, da dee
I'm talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play.

Oh, we make one another cry,
Break our heart when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Bet the other was to blame.

Neither one ever give an inch
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might of been
And its a dirty rotten shame.

[Instrumental]

People walking up to you,
Singing glory, Hallelujah!
And their trying' to sock it to you,
In the name of the Lord.

There gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And to furthermore to hell with hate
Come on get on board.

La da da, da da da, da da
La da da, da da da, da dee
I'm talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play.

Well, look around and tell me what you see
What's a happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am.

'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you back on humanity
And you don't give a da da.

La da da, da da da, da da
La da da, da da da, da dee
I'm talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play.

La da da, da da da, da da
La da da, da da da, da dee
I'm talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play...

"Get Away"



I been cryin so long
I been a watin for you to come along
There you are what can I say
I wont ever let you get away

I been sittin by myself
Been compairin you to ever body else
You always won each hand you play
I wont ever let you get away

I can’t pretend that you might happen twice
An I can not leave you to ur own device
Thinkin bout it takes to long
There aint no right there aint no wrong
This kinda deal don’t come along every day
I can’t let you get away

I been prayin for a sign
For heaven to show me which road was mine
An then you smiled my knees gave way
I took that for a sign that you should stay

Well I can’t pretend that you might happen twice
An I can not leave you to ur own device
Thinkin bout it takes to long
There aint no right there aint no wrong
This kinda deal don’t come along every day
I cant let you get away

Get awayyyyy
Get awayyyyy

"Gettin' Back Together Tonight"


Lying here next to you, feeling the way I do
Feeling you hold me tight, feeling your love tonight
Talking and laughing at all that we've done
And we're gettin' back together tonight.

I had to go away, had to be gone a while
I had some work to do, it nearly drove me wild
All of the loneliness fading away
And we're gettin' back together tonight.

Oh, what a world it's been,
The pain I've been living in without your love
Wanting you, missing you,
Dreaming of kissing you and then waken up
I've been spending my nights
Counting the days still I'll be holding you tight
And we're gettin' back together tonight.
Yeah, we're gettin' back together tonight.

[Instrumental]

I flew home in the rain, there was a long delay
There was some damage done We had so much to face
Now is our chance to make everything right
'Cause we're getting back together tonight.

Oh, what a world it's been,
The pain I've been living in without your love
Wanting you, missing you,
Dreaming of kissing you and then waken up
I've been spending my nights
Counting the days still I'll be holding you tight
Well, we're gettin' back together tonight.
Yeah, we're gettin' back together, gettin' back together
Gettin' back together, gettin' back together, tonight...

[Instrumental to fade]

"Ghost Story"



I've seen how you tremble
Whenever he walks through your mind
Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes
Where the light of our love ought to shine

I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad
He must have been going insane
Now I've finally learned how to hold you together
When somebody mentions his name

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you
He's not really there like he seems
And tonight when I hold you, I'll hold you so close
I'll love him right out of your dreams

I know that he's called you
And told you that our love can't last
But don't you believe him, 'cause honey he's wrong
He's never been right in the past

So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies
He just can't admit that you're free
And the next time he calls you just hand me the phone
And see if he says it to me

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you
He's not really there like he seems
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close
I'll love him right out of your dreams

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you
He's not really there like he seems
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close
I'll love him right out of your dreams...

"Give It To Me"


You can't live without loving
You can't love
Without giving of yourself
You can't know
What you're missing
Till you give your heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

Love is alive deep inside you
But you're afraid to set it free
Give me a chance
Let me guide you
Let me show you how
We're so close now.

You can't live without loving
You can't love
Without giving of yourself
You can't know
What you're missing
Till you give your
Heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

[Instrumental]

Think of the time that you've wasted
While the world has passed you by
Think of the life you never tasted
Spread your wings and fly
Give love a try.

You can't live without loving
You can't love
Without giving of yourself
You can't know
What you're missing
Till you give your heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me...

[Instrumental to fade]

"Glass House"


You know I'm working overtime
Just trying to cover my behind
You know you took all my money
And I guess you thought you took my mind
You can run, you can't hide
And just as sure as your breathing
I ain't gonna let it slide. hu ugh.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on.

Well, I was raised by the rule
That forgiving is the way divine
Took everything I had for giving
Then you left what was left behind
Go on and run, you can't hide
And it sure as your're breathing
I ain't gonna let it slide. hu ugh.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on.

[Instrumental]

I got aquainted with your cleaners
And they really did all right by you
I've got my own window cleaners comin'
Now let's see just what you do
Day or night, It's alright, what you do
When you wake up by the dawn's ealy light
Come on.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on.

When you're living in a glass house
Don't go to bed with the lights on...

"Good Ole Boy Like Me"


When I was a kid Uncle Remus would put me to bed,
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head.
Then Daddy came in to kiss his little man,
With gin on his breath and a bible in his hand,
And he talked about honor and things I should know.
Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door.

[Chorus]
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
And Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me,
Hank and Tennessee.
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be,
So what do you do with good ol' boys like me?

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does,
But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was.
The smell of cape jasmine through the window screen,
John R. and The Wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed,
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head.

[Chorus]

When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street,
And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed,
But I was smarter than most, and I could choose.
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news.
When I was eighteen, lord, I hit the road
But it really doesn't matter how far I go.

[Chorus]

Yeah, what do you do with good ol' boys like me?

"Goodbye Isn't Really Good At All"


It seems you've gone without leaving
All the doors are closed at night
Though I've tried to think of leaving
Goodbye isn't really good at all.

If there were really something good to it
And I knew it wouldn't get me down
I could leave in the morning
But goodbye isn't really good at all.

[Instrumental]

Here we are alone together
That's the truth and that's the lie
Though I've tried I can't get over
Goodbye isn't really good at all.

If goodbye were like it sometimes seems
Then it could be like it's been in some of my dreams
I could leave in the morning
But goodbye isn't really good at all...

"Gulf Shore Line"



Waves are rollin' in, lazy summer wind
Sittin' in the sand, holdin' to your hand
I was ten and you were nine
Way out on the gulf shore line.

You became my girl, I became your man
Underneath the stars, we were makin' plans
You said I do and you've done just fine
Way out on the gulf shore line.

The sea will moan, waves will roll
The sea gulls fly, on the winds that blow
And I'll love you till the sun don't shine
Way out on the gulf shore line.

Graduation day, Johnny walked away
Hard to say goodbye, harder not to cry
He had to leave his folks behind
Way out on the gulf shore line.

Fifty years of life, thirty years of love
Time has gone so fast, one life's not enough
In heaven I know I'll find
You and the gulf shore line.

The sea will moan, waves will roll
The sea gulls fly, on the winds that blow
And I'll love you till the sun don't shine
Way out on the gulf shore line.

And I'll love you till the sun don't shine
Way out on the gulf shore line...

"Harry And Joe"


Harry and Joe moved south with their wives
Enjoying the golden years of their lives
But life doesn't always give back what it owes
Suddenly there was just, Harry and Joe.

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.

[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.

An ambulance siren from across the backyard
Joe looks at Harry and deals out the cards

Harry and Joe lean to and fro
Like they lean on each other wherever they go
What tomorrow may deal them there's no way to know
So they get through today, Harry and Joe.

They get through each day, Harry and Joe...

"Healing Hands"


My Grandma and Grandpa had wonderful hands
With callouses and wedding bands.
They taught me that where there was love
There was always a way.

The picture of the two of them
Has seen me through a lot of years
They were there when I reached up to them
And they're in my life today.

Healing hands, something I can hold on to.
Healing hands, the touch that understands.
Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to
Hearts that belong to healing hands.

You and I may worry so,
To see the kingdoms come and go.
But we've seen enough to know
That it's only love that lingers.

And learning how to live can take a lifetime.
We've got to lend a hand in this troubled world
Before it slips right through our fingers.

Healing hands, something I can hold on to.
Healing hands, a touch that understands.
Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to
Hearts that belong to healing hands.

Healing hands, something I can hold on to.
Healing hands, the touch that understands.
Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to
Hearts that belong to healing hands.

"Heart Of Hearts"


In your heart of hearts there is a voice
It speaks from truth and not from choice
It sees it all not just in part
Deep inside your heart of hearts

A secret place known to your soul
Where you can't hide but you can go
When it's all too much and you fall apart
There's a state of grace called your heart of hearts

[Chorus:]
Just listen to your life, it's talking to you
There'll always be a light that's running through ya
Flowing from a well that never runs dry

When you're at the point down on your knees
You can find your weakness can be your strength
Cause where one ends, the other starts
Deep inside your heart of hearts

[Chorus:]
Just listen to your life, it's talking to you
There'll always be a light that's running through ya
Flowing from a well that never runs dry

In your heart of hearts, there is a voice
It speaks from truth, and not from choice
It sees it all not just in part
Deep inside your heart of hearts

"Heartbeat In The Darkness"



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
Every night 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...

"Help Yourself To Each Other"



What a time to turn your back on someone
What a day to be without a friend
What a shame when no-one seems to bother
Who will offer shelter to candles in the wind

And it follows we are only helpless children
Ever changing like sunlight through the trees
It's a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that's the way it's meant to be

And it's said that life is like a ladder
Just a dream we're reaching for the stars
Can't you see how little really matters
We are only searching for what we really are

And it follows we are only helpless children
Ever changing like sunlight through the trees
It's a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that's the way it's meant to be

It's a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that's the way it's meant to be

"Her Perfect Memory"


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...

"How Did You Do It?"


You don't seem to be doing all that bad
In fact you look good
You don't seem to be feeling all that sad
Like I thought maybe you would.

[Chorus:]
How, how did you do it?
How did you let it go?
How, how did you do it?
I need to know.

Now you've got friends to help you when you're sad
There's even someone you've been seeing
Now, I know there's nothing wrong with that
In fact it's a good thing.

[Chorus:]
How, how did you do it?
How did you let it go?
How, how did you do it?
I need to know.

One last question before you go
If you're really over you and me
How did you get there, I need to know
'Cause that's where I'd like to be.

[Chorus:]
How, how did you do it?
How did you let it go?
How, how did you do it?
I need to know.

[Chorus:]
How, how did you do it?
How did you let it go?
How, how did you do it?
I need to know...

"How Much Time Does It Take"


How much time does it take to get it right
How much time does it take to get along
Well, you worry me about it day and night
How much time does it take to get it right?

I've heard that life is like a song
When you find a friend well the world just sings along
But something's wrong with you and me
'Cause you wont sing the song and I can't let it be.

How much time does it take to get it right
How much time does it take to get along
Well you worry me about it day and night
How much time does it take to get it right?

[Instrumental]

We've learned the words, we knew what to say
What about the feeling, lost along the way
You tried the waltz, 2 step gets you down
And I just get the feeling like sitting out a round.

How much time does it take to get it right
How much time does it take to get along
Well you worry me about it day and night
How much time does it take to get it right?

How much time does it take to get it right
How much time does it take to get along
Well you worry me about it day and night
How much time does it take to get it right?...
