Up in the morning out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
And that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman
toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Lord above
can't you see I'm cryin'
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud
With a silver linin'
Take me to paradise

Show me that river
lead me across
Take all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day -
An' Like that lucky old sun
I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.

If you've got the money honey I've got the time
we'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
we'll have more fun baby on the way down the line
if you've got the money honey I've got the time

there ain't no need to teary' lets start out tonight
we'll have fun oh boy oh boy and we'll do it right
bring along your cadillac leave my ol' wreck behind
if you've got the money honey I've got the time

(instumental break)

We'll go honky tonkin' make every spot in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark and we won't fool around.
if you run short of money I'll run short of time
you got no more money honey I've no more time

If you've got the money honey I've got the time
we'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
bring along your cadillac leave my ol' wreck behind
if you've got the money
honey I've got the tiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmimeee

Memories are haunting you
And they're making you feel blue
Darling a penny for your thoughts
Are you thinking of the past
And a love that didn't last
Darling a penny for your thoughts
And it hurts me so to see the sorrow
Written on your face
And I hope and pray that some tomorrow
I can take his place
But if someday we should part
You can say a broken heart
Offered a penny for your thoughts

[ guitar ]

And it hurts me so to see the sorrow
Written on your face
And I hope and pray that some tomorrow
I can take his place
But if someday we should part
You can say a broken heart
Offered a penny for your thoughts

They're working while I'm missing you those healing hands of time
And soon they'll be dismissing you from this heart of mine
They'll lead me safely through the night and I'll follow as though blind
My future tightly clutched within those healing hands of time
They let me close my eyes just then those healing hands of time
And soon they'll let me sleep again those healing hands of time
So already I've reached mountain peaks and I've just begun to climb
I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time
I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time

. . .


Thanks for what a little love you gave to me
And thank you for my escape from misery
I searched and found heaven and then lost it again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again
I'm not sorry forgiving all my love to you
And if they ask if I still love you I'll have to say I do
My heart was dead and you've made it live then died again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again

[ guitar ]

My reason for existing is now reveal
I'm just here to show the world how blue a man could feel
My heart was dead and you've made it live and die again
And then they learn from my mistakes so thanks again

I'd Have to Be Crazy

[No lyrics]

. . .


Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relived
How precious did that grace appear
The hours I first believed
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind but now I see

[ guitar ]

Now when we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
That when we first begun
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind but now I see

[ piano ]

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind but now I see

. . .


Well I've been feeling a little bad
Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
It's a little like rain but it's a lot like a sunny day
And it's hard to explain but the sound of your name don't make music anymore
It's more than a sound of a love that I lost one day
It's a little too late to start thinking about startin' all over
I'd rather stay where I am I can't take another slam in the mind
I've been feeling a little bad cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind

[ guitar ]

I've been running around even laughing at half of the mem'ries
And you're not hard to remember I just have to think of your name
I've been feeling a little bad...
And remember my love it's the sound that you hear in your mind

. . .


Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
But it seems now, that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

How's your new love
I hope that he's doing fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know, when I'll be back in town
But remember, what I tell you
In time, your gonna pay
And it's surprising, how time slips away

. . .


I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue

I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new

(bridge)
worry
why do I let myself worry
wondring
what in the world did I do

crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

. . .


When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'

Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life

Yeah, it's my life
