There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Lost time is not found again
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
I got nothing left to burn
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
It ain't my cup of meat.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
A saxophone someplace far off played
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
