ALL THE KING'S HORSES
(Johnny Cunningham)

Look at the walls crumble down look at your castle laying on the ground
And I'm all in pieces just looking around
And all the love that once was sweet now just ashes neath my feet
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Could never put me back together again
I need you now like I needed you then
And it's gonna take your love for me to mend
I was your princess on a throne you were my hero brave and strong
Lord knows I'm nothing now that you're gone
And where's the fairy tale we knew the happy ending for me and you
And all the king's horses...
And all the king's horses...

LYIN' EYES
(Don Henley - Glenn Frey)
« © '75 Cass County Music, BMI » »
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
But late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She is headin' for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes and your smile has been disguised
I thought by now you'd realize
That there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
[ guitar ]
She gets up and pours herself a small one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night it's gonna be the long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
My oh my you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well so carefully
Ain't it funny how you knew life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes...
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey you can't hide your lyin' eyes

IF ALL I HAVE TO DO IS JUST LOVE YOU
(Glenn Sutton)
« © '76 Peer Music, BMI »
I can't promise you sunshine and roses
Cause I'm too used to walking in the rain
I can't tell a lie and say I'll make you happy
Cause I'm not sure that I can love again
You paint pretty pictures but I can't live on dreams
I tried before but none of them came true
But if you want my heart then take it I'll be sure that we can make it
If all I have to do is just love you
If all I have to do is kiss you mornin' noon and night
And listen to you tell me everything's gonna be all right
I can't say forever when it might end today cause I've got mem'ries I'm still clinging to
But if you want my heart then take it I'll be sure that we can make it
If all I have to do is just love you
If all I have to do is just love you if all I have to do is just love you

PARADISE
(John Prine)
« © '71 Cotillion Music, BMI »
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my mem'ries are worn
And daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in askin'
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
[ fiddle ]
Well sometimes we traveled right down the Green River
By the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with the pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
And daddy won't you take me back...
[ steel ]
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovels
They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land
Well they dug for the coal till the land was forsaken
Then we wrote it all down as the progress of man
And daddy won't you take me back...
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

TOMORROW
(Liz Anderson)
« © '74 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'll be the woman that you want tomorrow
I've got too many things to do today
Tomorrow I'll have lots of time to love you
And so I let it go another day
I'd give you more the love you need tomorrow
Say all the words you wanted hear me say
Then somewhere in your lonely waiting hours
You packed your hungry heart and went away
One of wonderful things that our love would have bring tomorrow
What a pity that our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love's gone away and our dreams bout us too
There's so many things that I intended to do
I'm alone with the love that I meant to give to you tomorrow
Yes you're gone with today and our dreams bout us too
There's still so many things that I contented to do
I'm alone with the love that I meant to give to you tomorrow
