I'M ON FIRE

(Bruce Springsteen) « © '84 Bruce Springsteen Music, ASCAP »
Hey little lady is your man at home
Did he go and leave you all alone
And oh I got a bad desire oh oh oh I'm on fire

Tell me little lady is he good to you
Can he do to you good things I don't do
I can take you higher oh oh oh I'm on fire

Like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire oh oh oh I'm on fire

I TAKE MY COMFORT IN YOU

(Wayland Holyfield - Guy Clark) « © '86 April Music, ASCAP / Wayfield Inc, ASCAP »
I don't drink champaign in crystal glasses
I don't sowed my beans in a silver pot
You won't catch me climb to the social classes
I don't spend money that I ain't got
I don't waste my time with yesterday's troubles
I just try to do the job and hang
I ain't delegate that I ain't sudden
But I do the best I can

I drink my beer from the bottle
I take my friends at their works yes I do
I lived my life like I find it every morning
And I take my comfort in you I take my comfort in you

I don't put much stop in public companion
I take it all with the gravy zone
I make mistakes like any human being
So I got no caught go fine and bought
I take my troubles to the Lord on Sunday
I take my blues to the honky tonk
You take my breath away way you hold me
What is could poor boy want

I drink my beer from the bottle...

LOOKING FOR SUZANNE

(Paul Kennerley) « © '84 Irving Music, BMI »
In my darkest hour woke up to a stone
I turn to hold my baby but she was gone
Looked all around me calling her name
No letter no word of goodbye walked out in the rain
Looking for Suzanne

Strangest emotion chill me through the bone
Something's whisper in the wind she ain't coming home
Looking for Suzanne looking for Suzanne

Suzanne went away cause I think about it today
As hard as I try I can't understand
Looking for Suzanne

Each awaken morning each sleepless night
I search for the one that I love for the rest of my life
Looking for Suzanne looking for Suzanne
Looking for Suzanne looking for Suzanne

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LOVE (ARTHUR'S SONG)

(Harlan Howard) « © '86 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ with Johnny cash ]
An old guitar picker that run out of liquor
So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink
Then I bought him another that finally send color
Return to his cheeks and he said with the wink

Son I worked with Red Foley dear Hank old Lefty
And I worked on the Opry back when it was strong
But this showbyz you know and it sometimes gets slow
So buy me another and I'll sing you a song

Be careful who you love for love can't be untrue
Be careful who you love be sure she loves you too

Well you like it I see and that's pleasin' me
But son I've wrote hundreds and son you know well
I wrote 'em and sold 'em they bought 'em and stole 'em
But the paper is cheap they're just tunes what the hell

Then he offered to sell me the song he just sang me
But I told him that's all is a piece of your soul
Keep your song here's some money he said thank you sonny
And I heard him sing as I walked out the door

Be careful who you love...

Well that was about a year ago friends would you just know
It's a big hit that some superstar claims you wrote
It seems it'll grins and the money rolls in
It's a wonder the lyrics don't stick endest road

Now I think of that writer made order and wonder
Just how many childred he sold in his time
And how many men take the gift that God gave them
Throw it away for the pretty red wine

LIVING LEGEND

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '75 Resaca Music, BMI »
Was it bitter then with our backs against the wall
We were better men than we'd ever been before
Say if she came again today would you still answer to the call
Tell the truth my friend don't it matter anymore

We were simple men by her side when she was born
It was simple then like the freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then you see but soon we gathered like a storm
They don't understand what that thunder meant at all

Was he crucified was he done in by the law-men
Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again
Some people say he got away they say he never died at all
If that story's true does it bother you my friend

HANGING ON

(Tony Joe White) « © '86 Tony Joe White Music, BMI »
The sky busted wide open in the early morning for the dawn
And the raindrops on the window pane reminded me of nights back home
It's funny how a memory sometimes can cut you to the bone hanging on hanging on

The time of celophane had a smell of woodstove in the air
She lived by herself sold the painings on the square
We shared the nights together until the feeling was gone hanging on hanging on

Two people come together knowing what they want from the start
They get their bodies creepin' keep their distances with their hearts
But a heart that contented sometimes can turn into stone hanging on hanging on

A man needs a woman always then he could ever know
But sometimes he takes it lightly let's the fire burn down too low
And when he goes to the banker chances he finds out he's a overdraw
Hanging on on hanging on hanging on just hanging on
