George (And The North Woods)

George I was just a lyin' here thinkin'
I'm blind what if I was all alone
Old timer if you weren't here to guide me
I'd be lost and they'd never find my bones

I just came here to the North Woods for some thinking
A man's just gotta rest once in a while
And I'm really glad you're still around to guide me
It seems to me we walked a hundred miles

You know how much I've always liked this cabin
It's quiet and I get a chance to think
I just can't figure things out in that city
The bars are there and you know how I drink

You know George I made a fortune in the big town
My name is on the city limit sign
And then fate laid her heavy hand upon me
And brought the accident that left me blind

Old buddy you know how that woman did me
I guess you knew her better than I did
George I guess you knew how much it hurt me
The day the judge gave her our little kids

She said she wouldn't care if I should drop dead
With all that insurance I don't guess she would
Most people think the wilderness is quiet
But just listen to the wolves out in the woods

Well tomorrow when I'll leave here I'll be different
I'll ride the train when they say all aboard
You've spent a lotta time here in the North Woods
You are still goin' with me aren't you George

George George where are you George
George no kiddin' now George George don't foolin'

Gettin' Back Together

Dave Dudley - Danny Morrison

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

Gettin' back together is hard to do
Gettin' back the good times that we once knew
Now think about the sad times I'm going through
And gettin' back together is hard to do

Gettin' back together that's all that I want
I had my good times I've had my fun
Now if we have some bad times we'll see them through
Cause gettin' back together is hard to do

Gettin' back together me and you
Well it seems like forever that I been missing you
I wanna build the bridges I burned in two
Gettin' back together is hard to do
Gettin' back together is hard to do

Somewhere

Somewhere somewhere somewhere

I heard that they're all curvy
And that the girls in Jersey are just fine
And that the girls in Philly
Well now they're really kind of chilly but refined
And I got out of Cleveland
Cause I couldn't find a single girl who cares
But I'll still find the one for me
And she'll know that she's the one for me somewhere

I went to Detroit City
And I couldn't find her there in Morder Town
Then I moved down to Chicago
Where there's wind and women all around
Maybe Kansas City
Where they wear microminis she'll be there
I'm looking for the one for me
And she'll know that she's the one for me somewhere

Somewhere somewhere somewhere

Vegas had me dizzy
Cause all the girls are busy but not with me
Now how about that Hollywood
Where all the girls just sit around and dream
And I still like to travel
But it gets much more lonely ev'rywhere
But I'll still find the one for me
And she'll know that she's the one for me somewhere

Somewhere somewhere somewhere

It's Not A Very Pleasant Day Today

Dave Dudley

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

Rain that hits the window on the outside
Hides the teadrops fallin' on the inside
A heart that has a sadder beat cause someone went away
It's not a very pleasant day today

Cloudy skies that make the moon so gloomy
All alone it makes the room more roomy
The echo of your footsteps that seems to plainly say
It's not a very pleasant day today

Without the sun it makes my world seem chilly
Well it may be me and I guess that's kind of silly
It's over now and my mind somehow should make you go away
It's not a very pleasant day today

The wind that blows just seems to tell the story
It seems to say I'm wrong and now I'm sorry
You're all I have the weather's bad and it looks like it's here to stay
It's not a very pleasant day today
It's not a very pleasant day today

Cold Wind Through Georgia

Roy Baham

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

I met her in Savannah a beauty oh so rare
She sparkled like a dewdrop in the morning
And I loved her in the springtime the summer and the fall
Then the wind grew cold in Georgia without warning

There's a cold wind a blowin' and soon I'll be goin'
I just heard a freight train whistle down the line
And it sure sounds mournful but it's not half as lonesome
As a cold cold wind through Georgia pines

On the lonely Georgia hillside I told my love goodbye
A muddy grave now holds all that I own
And I whispered dear I love you as all the flowers cried
And a cold wind through Georgia chilled my bones

There's a cold wind a blowin' and soon I'll be goin'...

Running With The Wind

Roy Baham

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

I never stop in one place long till life starts closin' in
Then a night wind beckons and I'll go runnin' with the wind

Well I grew up an orphan boy no one to call my own
Deserted by my family never felt that I belong
So I went runnin' with the wind to hell and back again
From north to south east to west runnin' with the wind

I loved a little girl one time but I didn't love her long
Late one night a wind came up and with the mornin' I was gone
I never tell them where I'm goin' they don't know where I've been
They only know I was here and gone runnin' with the wind

Well a high wind brought me to this town I'll leave here with a breeze
You never know how the wind will blow I'll scatter like the leaves
I never stop in one place long till life starts closin' in
Then a night wind beckons and I'll go runnin' with the wind

I never stop in one place long till life starts closin' in
Then a night wind beckons and I'll go runnin' with the wind
I keep runnin' with the wind I'm runnin' with the wind
Runnin' with the wind I'm runnin' with the wind

Bad Moon Rising

John C. Fogerty

© Jondora Music, BMI

I see the bad moon risin'
I see trouble all the way
I see earthquakes and lightenin'
I see bad times today

Don't fool around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear a hurricane a roarin'
I know the end is comin' soon
And I hear the river overflowin'
I hear the voice of ragin' ruin

Don't fool around tonight...

I hope you've got your things together
I hope you're quite prepared to die
It looks like you're in for nasty weather
Oh now you're sinkin' for an eye

Don't fool around tonight...
Oh don't fool around tonight...

Blowin' In The Wind

Bob Dylan

© Special Rider Music, SESAC

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
[ harmonica ]
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many years must one man live
Before he can hear people cry
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down...

That's How I Got To Memphis

Tom T. Hall

© Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI

If you love somebody enough you'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
If you love somebody enough you'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis

I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me cause you are my friend
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
If you tell me that she's not here I'll follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
[ harmonica ]
She get mad and she'd say she'd come back to Memphis some day
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
I haven't eaten a bite or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis

I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
I'll never rest till I find out why she had to go
Thank you for your precious time forgive me if I started cryin'
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
Oh that's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
Yeah that's how I got to Memphis

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes

Slim Willett

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart for me for someday I'll return
And you'll know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many nights too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes...

Too many miles too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't linger in the moonlight while I'm gone

Don't let the stars get in your eyes...

Stuck On Jeannie

Dave Dudley

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

Kinda tricky when she's caught in a trap by me
Kinda dumb in a smart little way like she can be
Those cry a little laugh a little moods that fit her to a T
That's why I'm stuck on Jeannie

If she needs a new something there's never ever anything said
But some mornin' when I'm half asleep here she comes with breakfast in bed
No she's not a politician but somehow you believe the things she says
And that's why I'm stuck on Jeannie

There are times when things go bad and I'm as mad as any man can be
She's the first to catch the meaness who's the first to give forgiveness be

Even through my gloom she can always find the room for sun and flowers
I ask if that's new dress she says no it's really old about an hour
It's her own little world it's a crazy lovin' world forever
And that's why I'm stuck on Jeannie
That's why I'm stuck on Jeannie
