FREEBORN MAN
(Keith Allison - Mark Lindsay)
« © '67 Gigawatt Music, BMI / Git-Tar Keith Music, BMI »
I was born in southland twenty some odd years ago
I ran away for the first time when I was four years old
I'm a freeborn man my home is on my back
I know every inch of highway every foot of backroad every mile of rairoad track
I got a gal Cincinnati I got a woman in San Antone
I've always loved the girl next door but any place is home
I'm a freeborn man...
Got me a worn out guitar I carry in an old coal sack
I've hocked it bout two hundred times but I always get it back
I'm a freeborn man...
[ guitar ]
You may not like my appearance may not like my song
May not like the way I talk but you'll like me when I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man...
I'm a freeborn man...

LAST LETTER
(Rex Griffin)
« © '39 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that's made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that you just love me and always be mine
Just think of the tears the heartaches and sorrow you'll save
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you have broken so free
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
Cause I will be gone when you read this last letter from me

SHE CALLED ME BABY
(Harlan Howard)
« © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long
Well she called me baby baby all night long
She kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home and call me baby baby all night long
[ trumpet ]
She called me baby baby baby all night long
She held me up so high when things went wrong
Now each time in dreams just like a song I still hear baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long

I HAVE NO ONE TO LOVE ME ANYMORE
(Glen Campbell - Jerry Fuller)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
My baby's gone I have no one who needs me anymore
I can't go on I have no one to love me anymore
Time on my hands you on my mind giving in the broken dreams you left behind
Wherever I go whatever I do my heart keeps blinding me reminding me we're through
My baby's gone...
You took my hand and turned away leaving me withing the walls of yesterday
Wherever I go whatever I do there's no use trying I guess I'll never forget you
My baby's gone...

LEGEND OF BONNIE AND CLYDE
(Merle Haggard)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
They both robbed and killed until both loved and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
The poem that she wrote of the life that they led
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
Their odds growing smaller with each get-away
The end getting closer the harder they fought
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
When a man they be-friended stepped out in the way
With no thought of dying they both took his side
But the death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde
Now two years of running was ended that day
For robbing and killing they both had to pay
We'll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde

PLACE IN THE SUN
(Ronald Miller - Bryan Wells)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Like a long lonely stream I keep running for the dream moving on moving on
Like a branch on a tree I keep reaching to be free moving on moving on
There's a place in the sun where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun and before my life is done gotta find me a place in the sun
Like a dusty old road I get weary from the load moving on moving on
Like this tired troubled earth I've been running since my birth moving on moving on
There's a place in the sun...

HAVE I STAYED AWAY TOO LONG
(Frank Loesser)
« © '43 Frank Music, ASCAP »
Have I stayed away too long have I stayed away too long
If I came home tonight would you still be my darling or have I stayed away too long
The love light that shone so strong sweet sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight would that same light be shining
Or have I stayed away too long or have I stayed away too long

WITHIN MY MEMORY
(Mac Davis - Freddy Weller)
« © '68 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Many miles have come between us since the morning sun has seen us
Building up our dream world to the sky
Now my days are cold and dark the thoughts of you still warm my heart
As I recall the love you gave to me soft and warm within my memory
Hidden deep within your eyes with daffodils and summer skies
With meadow larks and butterflies that play
Sometimes when the night is still I kiss the breeze and almost feel
Your sweet lips poressed against me tenderly soft and warm within my memory
Where do all the flowers go when summer's covered up with snow
I guess the winter wind s up her name
You were like the summer flower love is just a fleeting hour
All I ever dream has to comfort me soft and warm within my memory
Now the winter laughs at me and asks me where I'm gonna be
If you don't bring the springtime back again
I'll be running through the snow searching for the winter rose
To press between the dreams you have with me
Soft and warm within my memory soft and warm within my memory
Soft and warm within my memory

12TH OF NEVER
(Jerry Livingston - Paul F.Webster)
« © '56 Hallmark Music, ASCAP »
You ask how much I need you must I explain
I need you oh my darling like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you I'll tell you true
Until the 12th of Never I'll still be loving you
Hold me close never let me go hold me close melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the 12th of Never and that's a long long time
Until the 12th of Never and that's a long long time
