"Come Back And See Me"



Today was supposed to be
Just another day
Before the meeting of our minds and
What you had to say
It's been a long time comin' and
I guess I never saw
I'll have a short time adjusting to it all

You have come to your conclusion
You no longer care for me
And that we don't belong together
I suppose we sould agree
There is nothing I can do
Now that you've made up your mind
But could you come back and see me sometime

Is there any way that you could leave a little at a time
I need the time to make adjustments of the heart and of the mind
It might be that you'll remember some old feeling left behind
And if you do would you come back and see me sometime

I am left with no defenses
For I have no control
And for the first time in my manwood
I'll do what I am told
It's all over but the leaving you're
Determined now to do
I'll have the burden of gettin' over you

There's no need to be suspicious I have
Nothing left to hide
It's all out in the open i have
Nothing left inside
Just seeing you would be enough
It's all I have in mind
So could you come back see me sometime

Is there any way that you could leave a little at a time
I need the time to make adjustments of the heart and of the mind
It might be that you'll remember some old feeling left behind
And if you do would you come back and see me sometime

"Come Stay With Me"



I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all my life
I'll do what I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
Yes, I'll be as true as true as you can be
If you'll come and stay with me.

Promises I make so faithfully
I'll keep still should you decide to leave
I'll try and see if you'll have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me.

We live a life no one has ever known
God gave life to you on your own
Hoping God that I stand finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me.

Hoping God that I stand finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me...

"Come With Me"



If you're in a valley,with a troubled mind
I'm a mountain,come on and climb
Because you look so good,to be so down
It won't take much girl,to turn it all around

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye

I'll take you where,you've never been before
Once we're there,you'll cry for more
If it's dark in your world,come walk in mine
My love's a light babe,it's on all the time

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye

"Cowboy Movies"



My dad talks a lot about cowboys
Like John Wayne and people I don't even know
I like the cartoons on Saturday morning
'Cause I'm only four years old

But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He even bought me a big cowboy hat
And when I put it on with my boots and my Levi's
I can tell that he really likes that

Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee

I love to watch Nickelodeon
You might say I grew up on Sesame Street
My favorites are Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch
And I think the muppets are neat

But my dad just loves cowboy movies
He's never heard of Ernie and Bert
I'm just not a cowboy, I guess I'm a nowboy
And I sure hope his feeling's aren't hurt

Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee

Yod-el-ay-ee-ay de-lay-ee-o de-lay-ee

"Crying"



I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight.

When you stopped to say hello
And though you wished me well
You couldn't tell that I'd been:

Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, So long.
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying.

It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying.

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before.

But darling, what can I do
Oh, you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you.

Crying over you.
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying.

I'm crying, crying
Oh, oh, oh over you...

"Crying Don't Even Come Close"



I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say hello
And though you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been

Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said So long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying

It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do
Oh you don't love me
And I'll always be

Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

I'm crying, crying
Oh-oh-oh-over you

"Deep In The West"



Deep in the west where the tall mountains grow I've gone home
Where the heavens above turn red from the fire down below
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through

Silver friend at night yellow friend you come with the dawn
Back in my heart I've been drying my eyes see me run
So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through

Refusing to talk I suppose that it's all for love's sake
And learning to give that's important before you can take from me
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through

So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through

"Defying Gravity (Executioner's Song)"



I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream I would fall
But even the day that I do
I'll jump off and smile back at you

We don't even know where we are
But they say that we're circling a star
Well, I'll take their word, I don't know
But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so.

I'm riding a big blue ball
And never do dream I would fall
But even the high may lay low
So when I do fall I'll be glad to go...

"Delta Dawn"



In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride but he lied.

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man.

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?...

"Destiny's Child"


Surely you know by now my heart is wild
I don't wanna be tied down it ain't my style
Don't you think I know very well this kind of attitude is selfish
Well, I can't help it I'm destiny's child.

I couldn't began to tell you if I tried
It meant so much to love you for a little while
Try to remember all of the good love
I wish you understood love.

I ain't no good love I'm destiny's child
Destiny's child, destiny's child.

[Instrumental]

I gotta be on my way, now please don't cry
Gotta be somewhere else I don't know why
Keep thinkin' of all I'm losin' I know your lips're soothin'
I gotta be movin' I'm destiny's child.

I must wish you well and say goodbye
I wish you moons and stars and sunny skies
You gave me so much to believe in
My life has a little more meanin'.

Still I'm leavin' I'm destiny's child
Destiny's child, destiny's child...

"Didn't We Shine"



Hello, it's good to see you
Just how long has it been
I've often wondered what I'd say
If we ever met again
If I'd try just being clever
Or pretend not to remember
But it's funny how you've lingered
On my mind

Didn't we shine
Didn't we shine
Didn't we share and care
And lay our hearts on the line
Maybe it wasn't meant to last
'Til the end of time
Oh, but while it did
Didn't we shine

I still have some blue days
That I could do without
And when I have my blue days
You're all I think about
But I've long ago forgiven you
For what you did or didn't do
Now all I can recall
Are the happy times

Didn't we shine
Didn't we shine
Didn't we share and care
And lay our hearts on the line
Maybe it wasn't meant to last
'Til the end of time
Oh,but while it did
Didn't we shine

Was it my imagination
Or didn't we shine

"Dirt"



Dirt is quiet, it don't make noise
It's fun to play with, especially for boys
Girls don't much like it, but that's okay
Boys don't like girls much anyway

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly, but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

It hurts just a little if it gets in your eyes
You can put it in water and make mud pies
Babies will eat it, but babies are dumb
They wet their diapers and suck on their thumbs

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly, but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

It don't cost a thing 'cause it's everywhere
You can take it back home and nobody cares
You can throw it and kick and it don't even hurt
So a kid's best friend just got to be dirt

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly, but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly, but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

I love good ol' dirt

"Do It Again"
(originally by Steely Dan)



In the morning you go gunning
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he's done in
But they catch you on the border
And the mourners are all singing
As they drag you by your feet
But the Hangman isn't hanging
And they put you on the street

You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheels turning 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Well, you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheels turning 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Now you'll swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can bring you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheels turning 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

"Do No Good Woman"



You're looking at the man who's living in the wrong time
My mind's lost in my lonesome past
I wrote myself a sad song about troubles and a worried mind
And a do no good woman my first one and my last.

Well, I wanted the world to know her like I do
Some I tried to paint her picture in a song
I sang the blues but the only words that I knew
Were do no good woman I love you right or wrong.

From the streets of New Orleans to a Panthouse in Chicago
I tried to play the love before a time
But I just can't hold a woman in the night with the light's low
With a do no good woman always on my mind.

Look at me and you can see I've seen my better days
Hoping for better times to come
Well, I never thought that love could drive a good man too insane
That do no good woman, Lord why you ever done girls...

"Doesn't Anybody Know My Name"



I've been away for so long
Fought a war that's come and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name?
My sister upped and wed
Mom was sick and took to bed
And my old dog Red's gone lame.

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in?
(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four.

This old house is falling down
There ain't no need in me for hanging round
Doesn't anybody know my name?
The girl I left behind
She's gone with this friend of mine
I don't have to see a sign
To know things ain't the same.

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in?
(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four.

You can't get far away
On just a soldier's pay
Doesn't anybody know my name?
Used to be when I could see
Everybody wanted me
Guess nobody cares to see
A blind man catch a train.

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in?
(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four...

"Don't Cuss The Fiddle"
(originally by Kris Kristofferson, )
(duet with Willie Nelson)



I scandalized my brother
While admitting that he sang some pretty songs
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
And Lord, I knew that that was wrong.

Now I'm looking at it over somethin' cool
And feeling fool enough to see
What I had called my brother on
Now he had every right to call on me.

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you.

If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song.

I found a wounded brother
Drinkin' bitterly away the afternoon
And soon enough he turned on me
Like he'd done every face in that saloon.

Well, we cussed him to the ground
And said he couldn't even steal a decent song
But soon as it was spoken
We was sad enough to wish that we were wrong.

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you.

I know that it sounds silly
But I think that I just stole somebody's song
She's a good timin' woman
In love with a good two timin' man.
And she loves him inspite of the way
That she don't understand...

"Don't Play The Game"



The hardest thing you ever do
Is love yourself, that gal don't love you
She'll cause you sleepless nights and endless pain
But if you don't like the rules don't play the game.

Everytime that girl walks by
Your heart will ache your very soul will die
But love's one sided it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game.

You think by now I see the fool I've been
Given my heart a chance to win
Well, I do but I don't, I will but I won't
Deep inside I know I'll do again.

The hardest thing you ever do
Is love yourself, that gal don't love you
With love one sided it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game.

If you don't like the rules don't play the game...

"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"



Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It will never do anyhow
When your rooster's a crowing at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right

An it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
The light I never knowed
An it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To try and make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

Well it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wondering, walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey baby
Where I'm bound, I cannot tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just kinda say "Fare thee well"
Now I'm not saying that you treated me unkind
You could have done a lot better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

"Don't Waste Your Time"



(Don't look for me I must go.)
(Don't waste your time I must go.)

Don't look for me, don't waste your time
I'll find another that's more my kind
I'll find my happiness on further down the line
Don't look for me, don't waste your time.
(I must go, I must go.)

It's over now, I must be on my way
There's nothing here for me so I can't stay
You tried to be what I wanted you to be
It's over now, you're not the one for me.

Don't look for me, don't waste your time
I'll find another that's more my kind
I'll find my happiness on further down the line
Don't look for me, don't waste your time.
(I must go, I must go.)

Love me once more and then forget my name
For when I go I won't be back again
The sun will set, I'll stay with you till dawn
Then I must go, I linger much too long.

Don't look for me, don't waste your time
I'll find another that's more my kind
I'll find my happiness on further down the line
Don't look for me, don't waste your time.
(I must go, I must go.)

Don't look for me, don't waste your time
I'll find another that's more my kind
I'll find my happiness on further down the line
Don't look for me, don't waste your time.
(I must go, I must go.)..

"Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out Of Hand"



I'm for the law and order the way it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
And New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand

We were wrapped up in our music that's why we never saw
The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law
They came boundin' through the backdoor in the middle of a song
They got me for possession for something that was gone long gone
Don't you think this outlaw...
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
