You Ain't Right
. . .



Verse 1:
Last night i dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and i talked to it 'til four
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of bone
Yeah i've been settlin' alone diggin' up bones

Verse 2:

Then i went to the jewelery and i found our wedding rings
I've put mine on my finger and i gave yours a flame
I crossed this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones

Chorus:

I'm diggin' up bones,i'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones

Verse 3:
And i went to the closet and i found some things in there
Like that pretty neglige that i bought you to wear
And i recall how good you looked each time you had it on
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones

Chorus.

I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones
Chorus (til end).


. . .



You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild & I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I'm feeling for you always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die -- Oh baby

Chorus:

I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen

They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you --- Oh darlin'

Chorus:

Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever & ever forever & ever
Forever & ever Forever & ever Amen


. . .



Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...

Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...

(Chorus)

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
I thought that he walked on water.

He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--
And I thought that he walked on water.

If the story's told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
And although his wings, they were never seen.
I thought that he walked on water.

Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.
Then I'd flop down beside him.

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
And I loved him and he loved me.
And lord, I cried the day he died,

'Cause I thought that he walked on water.

If the story's told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
And although his wings, they were never seen.
I thought that he walked on water

Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angles fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
All the lies I know they'll tell me,
And the time that they will sell me
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home in bed she's crying,
For her love for me is dying
But she'll pry I make it safely through the night
When the mornin' sun starts showing,
To her bedside I'll be going
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light

And I'll make promises
Promises to change
I'll make her promises swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
If only she will stay
Once again she'll reasure me and
I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know she'll
Leave without a trace
For broken' promises
Will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleeping
She'll quietly say goodbye

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres,
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart.
An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children:
Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday.
As he held that blood-stained bible up,
For all of us to see.
He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the preacher;
"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
"Who read it to me."

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.

Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain't seen it all.
But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between,
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing.
And every one is different, and every one's the same.
And this is just another way of sayin' the same thing.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.
A Whippoorwill

You've been too gone,for too long,
it's too late to come back now
It's been so long since you walked out my door
now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and she's the true love
but darlin' how could you have known?
you've been too gone, for too long
now it's too late to come back home

You've came a long way, goin' the wrong way
don't even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bills
you're an old rollin' stone who rode over the hills
I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home

I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
so why don't you just stay gone?
now you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home


. . .


First we were strangers both down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other
To much to live up to
And now we're strangers again

Tammy:
I came like a stranger
And you took me in
And I felt at home in your arms
We had nothing but good times
As long as the sun shines
But we just couldn't weather the storms

Randy:
You came like a stranger
And I took you in
And you gave me some reasons
To live
I gave the good the good times
And you gave the sunshine
Till we ran out of good things to give

Now we are strangers back down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other
To much to live up to
And now we're strangers again

Strangers again

. . .



I remember how it used to feel
Ridin' down ol' two mile hill
Tennis shoes up on the handlebars
Payin' no mind to them passin' cars
No doubtsm no fears
Just like when you are here

Chorus:
No chains, no strings
No fences, no walls
No net, just you
To catch me when I fall
Look heart, no hands

Took a little time to get up to speed
To find the confidence and strenght I'd need
To just let go and reach for the sky
You kno, sometimes it felt I could fly
No doubts, no fears
Just like when you are here

Chorus:
It doesn't take much
Just a smile of a touch
And I'm a kid again
I can almost feel that wind

Chorus

Look heart, no hands


. . .



Verse 1
Operator, please connect me with 1982
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to


Chorus
They say eyesights's twenty-twenty
But I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ole lost love story
It's sad but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in 1982


Verse 2
Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp
One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man
Back into the wasted years of my living past
I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last


(Chorus)

Losin' my mind, goin' back in time to 1982


. . .



I'm getting out of this high-rise penthouse suite
Where we pretend life's rosy and sweet
I'm going back to the folks that I used to know
Where everyone is what they seems to be

And these high-class friends that you like to hang around
When they look my way they're always looking down
I'm tired of spending every dime I make
To finance this way of life I've learned to hate

I'm going back to a better class of loser
This up-town living's really got me down
I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers
And who buy their coffee beans already ground
You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine
But a better class of loser suits me fine

You say the grass is greener on the other side
From where I stand I can't see grass at all
And the concrete and the steel won't change the way you feel
It takes more than caviar to have a ball
I'm going back to a better class of loser
This up-town living's really got me down
I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers
And who buy their coffee beans already ground
You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine
But a better class of loser suits me fine

You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine
But a better class of loser suits me fine


. . .



You're my always and forever.
You're the one that hung the moon.
After all these nights together
I still get lost in your perfume.
And if I could write a love song,
Every line would tell the truth.
It would be a warm and soft one
And my heart would say to you

When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,
I won't need you anymore

Oh, the feelings lay so easy,
Lyin' here the way we are.
No one else could ever hold me
Like the heavens hold the stars.

When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,

I won't need you anymore
I won't need you anymore


. . .



Idon't have faith in technology
even though we created it
all this stuff just breaks down anyway
and you can never get it fixed
but i do have faith in you

i don't have faith in politics
but i do believe in the will of the people
i don't know much about big time religion
but i believe in the cross on the steeple
and i do have faith in you

and after all this time
the lie becomes the truth
we traded in our innocence and sacrificed our youth
but you give your love
the one thing i can't lose
you believe in me
and i still have faith in you

the more i search for my significance
and i wonder have i made a difference
in any body's life since I've been here
i can hear your laughter
it's the sweetest sound I've ever known
i don't know how love happens
but i know I'm not alone
and i do have faith in you

and after all this time
sometimes i see the truth
but I'm touched by your innocence
and now I'm not confused
but you give your love
the one thing i can't lose
you believe in me
and i still have faith in you

i do have faith in you...

Love's Alive And Well

[No lyrics]

Dirt road in the twilght, woods so cool and dark.
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks,
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me

Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me

Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze
Trouble seems to melt away.............
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way

My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor
Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door.
Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.

Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right

Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.
Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.



. . .



Would I
Would I
Would I

Would I go out honky tonkin' with you ever night
Dance every dance til I got them all right
Would I do every step the way you thought I should?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would
Would I

Would I wake up every morning,
bring you breakfast in bed
With the right amount of butter on your toasted bread
Would I fix your brunch, lunch and dinner just as good?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would

Well, if I had you, there'd be nothing you could do or say
To ever make me make you go away
Would I
Would I
Would I
Would I cut my hair and change the way I dressed?
Finally get around to cleaning up this mess?
Would I happily give up my batcholorhood?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would
Would I

Would I tear everybody from my little black book
Tell 'em all I was over the urge to look?
Would I marry you then just to make sure they understood?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would

Well, if I had you, there'd be nothing you could do or say
To ever make me make you go away
Would I
Would I
Would I
If I had you baby maybe yes, yes I would


. . .



Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind
Yes Darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had

You laughed and you called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find
That my love is a true love
It's just a matter of time

Words are spoken with chords played
Someday and Someway
Girl you'll realise that you've been blind
Yes Darling, I know you gonna need me again
It's just a matter of time

Continue singing here
After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and you called me a clown
But remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find

That my love was a true love
It's just a matter of time


. . .


I took you for granted
So many years
I gave you no hope
Broken promises and tears
But when I was down
It was you who was there
To Pick up the pieces and show me you care

Forever together
Til' death do we part
Forsaking all others
I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Foerever together
In each other's arms

You seem to know
What we had all along
And you had the love
And the faith to go on
It took some time but now I realize
That I see it all when I look in your eyes

Forever together
Til' Death do we part
Forsaking all others
I give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Forever together
In each other's arms
Forever together
In each other's arms

. . .


I tried my best
I gave my heart
I took no rest
Time will tell
If I left my mark
But I'll know full well
I did my part
When I look down that road
What Do I see
My childern's children looking
Right back at me
When they look back at me(and I'm)
Long gone away
Will they think kindly of me
When they hear me say
I did my part
I tried my best
I gave my heart
I took no rest
Time will tell
If I left my mark
But I'll know full well
I did my part
When I look down that hall
What do I see
A little baby crawling
Right back at me
I cannot walk for him
I cannot run
But I can hold his hand
And show him how it's done
I did my part
I tried my best
I gave my heart
I took no rest
Time will tell
If I left my mark
But I'll know full well
I did my part
Build a fmaily
Build a city
Build a country
Build a world
Time will tell
If I left my mark
But I'll know full well
I did my part
But I'll know full well
I did my part

. . .


Not too many years ago
When dreams were coming true
I'd reach for inspiration
Sometimes it would be you
I'd hear you on the radio
I sure did like your sound
Say it's good to know there's still
A few ol' country boys around

From the smoke it's hard to tell
What's coming down the line
We heard you were a fast train
Coming out of Caroline
We wondered what you were haulin'
When you rolled into to town
Say it's good to know there's still
A few ol' country boys around

You must have felt that same old feeling
More than once or twice
Guitars pressed against our hearts
Under the neon lights
I've got to say that feeling is the best that I have found
Lord it's good to know there's still
A few ol' country boys around

There's a lot of truth you know
In our kind of songs
About the life you're living
And how love's done you wrong
As long as there's a jukebox
And a honky tonk in town
It's good to know there's still
A few ol' country boys around

It's good to know there's still
A few ol' country boys around

. . .



Being without you has turned out to be so inconvienent
And wishing i was with you just seems to use up all my time
You been gone so long that it's hard to recall just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart and me i guesss is doing' fine

(chorus)
Is it still over are we still through
Since my phone still aint ringing
I assume it still aint you
I'll have to mind to take the time to find somebody new
But i'm not sure that i'm still over you

That lie that i tried to slip by you was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say i love you and protect you from the truth
And half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of good prevention
And trying to explain while i'm insane is the hardest thing i've ever tried to
Do
(chorus 2x)

If i repeat myself it's 'cause i've nothing else to do
But i'm not sure that i'm still over you


. . .



I heard a freight train out across the way
I heard a woman sing Amazing Grace
I heard a night bird call to its mate
When I heard you whisper my name
I heard freedom break its chain
I heard a heart beat where once on sound remained
I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name

I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears
I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred fall from grace
When I heard you whisper my name

Beating softly against the waves
Fell a sound of an early morning rain
And though the lighting and thunder came
I still heard you whisper my name

I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears
I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred fall from grace
When I heard you whisper my name

And I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name


. . .



Must be doin' something wrong baby I don't know
But the gold fish are floating at the top of the bowl
And the dog he won't eat he just lays around
All night long he makes a lonesome sound

I know I had it coming and its all my fault
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

The way the plants are dyin' you'd swear its fall
Looks just like autumn up and down the hall
And I talk to 'em baby like you s'posed to do
But they're tired of hearing how I'm missin' you

And I know you told me not to call
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

Well its a desperate situation
I got a strong will to survive
But if this place is any indication

Well its an eerie feeling in the still of the night
Knowin' that the cats down to three more lives
You've turned as all into nervous wrecks
We just sit around and wanderin' who's goin' to be next

And I know I had it coming and its all my fault
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

Baby come back
before you kill us all

Baby come back
Baby come back
Before you kill us all
fade out........baby come back


. . .



I ain't live forever but I've lived e-nough
I grew up with cowboys I watched on T-V

And I've learned to be gentle and I've learned to be tough
My friends and I sometimes pretended to be

I've found only two things that last to the end
Years have gone by but now and again

One is your heroes the other your friends
My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends


Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else.
They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends


. . .



Lately I get the feeling there's something you're holding in
How can you be so quiet as close as we've been
Do you think your silence is saying there ain't nothing wrong with you
This is me you're not talking to

This is me
The one who knows you inside out
The one you've leaned on 'til now
Don't you know I'm still here for you
So what do you think you're doing
Who do you thnk you're fooling
This is me you're not talking to

You can run to me no matter what you're running from
If it's something I'm doing
I'll get it undone
Just don't let me be a stranger to what you're going through
This is me you're not talking to

This is me
The one who knows you inside out
The one you've leaned on 'til now
Don't you know I'm still here for you
So what do you think you're doing
Who do you thnk you're fooling
This is me you're not talking to

Hey, this is me, you're not talking to.

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
When no one's around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

On the top shelf in the closet,
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time
And we set on the table and carefully, we opened up the top
And stared into the memory
Daddy kept inside the box

There was a letter from mamma, when she went out to Reno
To help her sister out in 62
And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew

And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
Years ago, I thought it had been lost
We all thought his heart was made from solid rock
But that was long before we found the box

I guess we always knew it_but "I love you" was hard for him to say
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way
But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost
I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box
There was a picture that was taken,when he and Mom were dating
Standing by his 1944, and the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptised
I guess no one understood him like the Lord

And the poem that he had written, about his wife and children
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock

We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box
Yes that was long before we found the box

It wasn't just the music
It wasn't just the wine
Some other kind of magic
Sending shivers up my spine
And I was falling
And I fell for you and how
Darling, are we in trouble now?

They say we're grown up
We've been searching all this time
And I wouldn't own up
Never would admit to flying blind
But in the darkness
We found each other anyhow
Darling, are we in trouble now?

When we talk it over
Our love was a cry from a distant shore
Then we found each other
And all that we'd been searching for

And I'm done denying
Yeah, I guess by now you know
I'm through with trying
Can't bring myself to let you go
And all these feelings
Said we never would allow
Darling, are we in trouble now?
Darling are we in trouble now?

I can’t believe I’m standing out here in the yard
Starin’ at those treadmarks you left with your car
Before you get too far out of town
I hope you turn it around
I didn’t think you had it in you
Who’d have thought you’d really leave
It’s kind of like some movie I wish I’d never seen
You left and left my world upside down
You’ve got to turn it around

CHORUS
It’s safe to say I’ve underestimated how strong you are
Apparently girl you’ve got what it takes to break my heart
You’ve everything I need I know
Right now I want to hold you close
And all I can do is pray that you’ll come home

It’s probably a safe bet that you ain’t comin’ back
I made some big mistakes I’ll admit to that
If there’s still a chance that we can work this out
My life’s got to change starting now
I’m going to turn it around

I can’t believe I’m standin’ out here in the yard
Starin’ at those treadmarks you left with your car
Before you get too far out of town
My life’s going to change starting now
I need to turn it around

Baby turn it around

You Ain't Right
