LONG HAIRED COUNTRY BOY
(Charlie Daniels)
« © '74 Blackwood Music, BMI / Kama Sutra Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon
Cause I get stoned in the morning I get drunk in the afternoon
Something like my ole blue tick hound I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money but I've damn sure got it made
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm living
You just leave this long haired country boy alone
Preacher man talkin' on TV puttin' down the rock and roll
He says he wants a donation cause he's worried about my soul
He said Jesus walked on the water and I know that it's true
Sometimes I think that preacher man just might do a little walkin' too
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing...
Poor girl wants to marry the rich girl wants to flirt
Rich man goes to college and the poor man goes to work
Drunkard wants another drink of wine and the politician wants a vote
But I don't want much of nothing at all but I will have another toke
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing...

(Tom T. Hall)
« © '68 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
And if you tell me she's not here you can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis yeah that's how I got to Memphis
(She get mad and she used to say) she get mad and she used to say
(She'd come back to Memphis some day) 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) I haven't eaten a bite
(Or slept for three days and nights) 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
And I'll never rest till I find out why she had to go
So thank you for your precious time forgive me if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis yeah that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis don't you know I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

IN A YOUNG GIRL'S MIND
(Hoyt Axton - Mark Dawson)
« © '74 Irving Music, BMI »
Hand me my guitar there's a song that I've been singing
When I was young I had a hell of the time
Looking for love in the misty waters
Of the seas that roll in a young girl's mind
Only in shadows and lonly at night
She turns to you softly you turn on the light
You use her abuse her and you know it ain't right
To treat one who loves you so badly
When she's doing the best that she can
You know she's doing the best that she can
Do you believe in dreams do you believe in dreamers
Hoping that you'll find what you're looking for
You don't have to worry there's a bright tomorrow
In the dreams that roll in a young girl's mind
Only in shadows and lonly at night...
So hand me my guitar...
In the seas that roll in a young girl's mind

BALLAD OF LUCY JORDON
(Shel Silverstein)
« © '72 Evil Eye Music, BMI »
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordon
In her white suburban bedroom in her white suburban town
As she lay there neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turn to orange and the room went spinning round
At the age of thirty-seven she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
And she left that phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorize in her daddy's easy chair
Her husband was off to work and the kids were off to school
There were also many ways for her to spend the day
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way
At the age of thirty-seven...
The evening touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordon
On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand
And took her down to the long white car that waited pass the crowd
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair
With the wind in her hair with the wind in her hair

OLD LULLABY
(Lee Hazlewood - Carl Eric Hjelm - Sven Olof Walldoff)
« © '75 Warlock Music, ASCAP »
This is an old Spanish lullaby
And it's been handed down from generation to generation
And in it a father is singin' to his small son
And he's telling him to close your eyes little one and sleep
Sleep and dream while the angels watch over you
And I'll hold your hand
And when you'll wake in the morning I'll still be here

(Lee Hazlewood - Naomi Ford)
« © '62 Mother Texas Production, ASCAP »
Gather round me buddies hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye
Too late he's found he loves her so much he wants to die
So drink to a fool a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye

She's found a new love body he's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool cause I'm that fool I told my baby goodbye
