"You Put The Soul In The Song"



We started with nothing but each other and reached for the stars
From a one room apartment with a dream and a pawnshop guitar
God gave the talent but you found the will to survive
In this city of songs where dreamers are eaten alive.

I made the music but you make the man
When I'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand
When I was tempted to give up your strength made me strong
I make the music but you put the soul in the song.

When I look at you girl I see a true work of art
So many beautiful things in one little heart
Every word I ever wrote and every note that I ever sung
You never stop believing that's where the feeling comes from.

I made the music but you make the man
When I'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand
When I was tempted to give up your strength made me strong
I make the music but you put the soul in the song...

"You Went Out With Rock And Roll"



You went out with rock n roll
Twenty-one some-odd years ago
I told ya then so ya oughta know
You went out with rock n roll

To say the least I am surprised
But standin' right before my eyes
Is someone here from way back when
I thought I'd never see again

Back in and lookin' good
Sayin' everything' you should
But I heard it all a long time ago
So don't disturb my country soul

You went out with rock n roll
Twenty-one some-odd years ago
I told ya then so ya oughta know
You went out with rock n roll

You went out with rock n roll
Twenty-one some-odd years ago
I told ya then so ya oughta know
You went out with rock n roll

You went out with rock n roll
Twenty-one some-odd years ago
I told ya then so ya oughta know
You went out with rock n roll

"You'll Look For Me"



There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me.

Look all around you if you have the time
Look at me once more if you can
You once said you loved me now you've changed your mind
But you'll change your mind again.

There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me.

There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me...

"You'll Never Take The Texas Out Of Me"


I love to hear them old twin fiddles
They can do more damage than a gun
Have you ever seen a cowboy on the dance floor
I'm convinced that's how the west was won

Were you there at the Trippin' Springs reunion
For me, that's how it all began
It was me and Hank and Ernest Tubb and Willie
There to win the battle of the bands

[CHORUS:]
I may sing my songs the whole world over
I may live in Tennessee
You can take the music out of Texas
But you'll never take Texas out of me

Now I can buy my boots in New York City
Get my big black hats in New Orleans
And even draw a crowd in London England
And they all come in decked out in boots and jeans

[CHORUS]

You can take the music out of Texas
But you'll never take Texas out of me

"You'll Think Of Me"



You have her now she's your life
You're saying how she'll be your wife
And I wish I could be happy for you
But you see my friend I've been there too.

That's one more thing
That'll bother you
When she treats you like she's treated me
You'll think of me.

When the new wears off
And the glamor's gone
But the ties that bind keep holding on
And they're strong.

You'll think of me being with her
Like I thought of her being with them
And you and God knows who
You're happy now but wait and see
When she treats you like she's treated me.

As you wake to see
Who the next will be,
You'll think of me.
As you wake to see
Who the next will be,
You'll think of me...

"You're Gonna Wonder About Me"


Pretty soon this old town I'll be leaving
And I'm going just as far as I can go
'Cause ever since you've put me down
I can't stand to stay around this old town
And all the friends we used to know.

And when that old north wind comes a howlin'
And your cold arms long for company
When the moon peeps through the pines
And there's mem'ries on your mind
You're gonna wonder about me, babe
You're gonna wonder about me.

[Instrumental]

Pretty soon you may find that you miss me
But by then I'll be many miles away
I may be in Baltimore with old friends I knew before
I don't know if that's for sure. I can't say

But when that old north wind comes a howlin'
And your cold arms long for company
When the moon peeps through the pines
And there's mem'ries on your mind
You're gonna wonder about me, babe
You're gonna wonder about me.

Babe, you're gonna wonder about me.
You're gonna wonder about me.

Babe, you're gonna wonder about me...

"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"



Here I stand hand in hand
Turning my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
With no love at all.

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
I can hear them say.

You've got to hide your love away.
You've got to hide your love away.

How can I even try, I can never win
Hearin' them, seein' them in the state I'm in
How could she say to me love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns let me hear you say.

You've got to hide your love away.
You've got to hide your love away...

"Young Widow Brown"


That Jimmy Brown died at just 25
And they lowered him under the ground
Right at his head was a mark that had read
I leave the world young widow Brown.

He left her for me now it's plain to see
Just why old Jim ain't around
I know that I've tried but the man ain't alive
That can keep up with young widow Brown.

That woman she's crazy if she thinks
That I'll just keep on a hanging around
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That one thing is young widow Brown.

[Instrumental]

In her high steppin' style she's a goin' hog wild
This night life is a whoopin' me down
But if I lose a place then I'm out of the race
For kisses from young widow Brown.

I must be gettin' old my walk's gettin' slow
Just barely can make it around
I work night and day spend all of my pay
On pretties for young widow Brown.

That woman she's crazy if she thinks
That I'll just keep on a hanging around
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That one thing is young widow Brown...

"Yours Love"



May the fruit of my toil, be yours love
May the fruit from my soil, be yours love
And from this moment on
May a love true and strong
And lives on and on, be yours love.

May the sons that I raise, be yours love
May the comforts I praise, be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek, be yours love

May the Lord's shining grace, be yours love
May the happiest face, be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch
These two lips as life from me slips, be yours love...

"Yoyos, Bozos, Bimbos And Heroes"


In a world full of sadness and laughter
Where we live for the now and hereafter
We're all friends and strangers wondering which way to go
Leaning on yoyos,bozos and bimbos and heroes.

We got all kinds of singers and preachers
Crawlers and two-legged creatures
Selling us sermons,and songs made for the soul
Some of 'em yoyos,bozos and bimbos and heroes.

[Chorus:]
Reigning like fine politicians
Dressed up in perfect disguise
Pushing their science and fiction
Mixing the truth with the lies.

So why we're all busy looking for answers
There's one thing we all need to know
The difference between yoyos,
Bozos and bimbos and heroes.

[Chorus:]
Reigning like fine politicians
Dressed up in perfect disguise
Pushing their science and fiction
Mixing the truth with the lies.

The difference between yoyos,
Bozos and bimbos and heroes...
