INHERIT THE WIND

(Eddie Rabbitt) « © '69 Careers Music, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Baby don't fall in love with me I'll only bring you grief
Baby don't set your heart on me I'll only have to leave

Cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind inherit the wind

Daddy he was a wandering man I hardly knew his face
Mama she cried for him at night he never stayed in one place

Cause the north wind flows through my veins...

Oh I can't give you the love you need I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight I'll love you till the break of dawn

Cause the north wind flows through my veins...
Inherit the wind inherit the wind

THIS IS THE STORY

(Christian Arnold - Geoffrey Morrow - David Martin) « © '69 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I play the song it was our own your photograph's by my side
I know I can't forget you so I don't even try
The note you left is in my hand I read again what you say
You're sorry but you love him and you've both gone away

This is the story of a man whose world has fallen apart
And it's the story that is breaking my heart

An open fire our favorite chair I get a book from the shelf
But the words I am reading could apply to myself

This is the story of a man...
It's the story that is breaking my heart
Yes it's the story that is breaking my heart

STRANGER IN MY OWN HOMETOWN

(Percy Mayfield) « © '69 Tangerine Music, BMI »
I'm like a stranger like a stranger in my own hometown
I'm like a stranger like a stranger in my own hometown
My so called friends stopped being friendly

LITTLE BIT OF GREEN

(Christian Arnold - Geoffrey Morrow - David Martin) « © '69 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Now that the truth is hard to face I can't forget you once were mine
Someone else is in my place whenever we meet my heart beats out of time

Just a little bit of green clouds my eyes to what I've seen
Just a little bit of green when I see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing I can do

Please don't try to tie me down those are the words you often say
I can't help seeing you around you smile with surprise I turn my eyes away

Just a little bit of green oh oh oh clouds my eyes to what I've seen
Just a little bit of green when I see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing I can do

Oh oh oh oh oh oh just a little bit of green oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh just a little bit of green oh oh oh oh

AND THE GRASS WON'T PAY NO MIND

(Neil Diamond) « © '69 Stonebridge Music, SESAC »
Listen easy you can hear God calling walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me your hair's softly falling on my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time and the grass won't pay no mind
Saying nothing lying where the sun is baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you with their soft wet kisses your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time and the grass won't pay no mind

Child touch my soul with your cries and the music will know what we've found
I hear a hundred goodbyes but today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now now now now now now now now

Young bird flying and a soft wind blowing cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes hear the flowers growing as you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time and the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM

(Bobby Russell) « © '69 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Do you know who I am have you have any idea who I am
Yes it's been quite a while and it's so good to see you again
It's so dark in this place that I can't see your face may believe oh I see
Does he know who I am and what once was between you and me

Do you know how I tried have you any idea how I tried
Not to keep you in sight do you know darling how much I cried
I remember you said that you had to forget about me and be free
Do you know who I am or have you forgot about me

Do you think there's a chance you and I could start over again
Is there a prayer you still care or has it just been too long and we're through
Well what about you and him oh he's only a friend
Well I see there's still a chance for me
Well maybe some other time in some other place
With our love in your heart and a smile on your face
You will know who I am when that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am when that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am when that time comes you'll know who I am

FROM A JACK TO A KING

(Ned Miller) « © '57 Jamie Music, BMI »
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen I walked away with your heart

From a jack to a king with no regrets
I stackled I stacked I stacked the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right you made me king of your heart

For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding wedding wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen you made me king of your heart

For just a little while I thought...

FAIR'S MOVING ON

(Guy Fletcher - Doug Flett) « © '69 Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
All the rides are over and done it's late and no prizes are left to be won
The rides are closed it's the end of the day the horses are moving away

Yes the fair's moving on and I'll soon be gone
Remember the love that we've known
Yes the fair's moving on but I won't leave you long
It's the last time you'll be on your own

The music has ended the carousel's still the horses in boxes with the big Ferris wheel
The canvass and glitter are safely on board the trailers will soon hit the road

Yes the fair's moving on and I'll soon be gone
Remember the love that we had
Yes the fair's moving on but I won't leave you alone
I'm coming back so please don't be sad

At dawn I'll be gone but I'll soon return till then the fair's moving on
Till then the fair's moving on till then the fair's moving on
Till then the fair's moving on

YOU'LL THINK OF ME

(Mort Shuman) « © '69 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I'm sorry now girl but I must leave you
There's something deep inside my soul keeps calling me
The winter wind girl will not deceive you
And in your cold and empty bed you'll think of me oh yes you'll think of me

You'll see me coming you'll see me going
Don't ask me why I'm just the kind needs to be free
Just like that outlaw wind keeps on a blowing
Yeah in your cold and empty bed you'll think of me oh yes you'll think of me

Now I know you loved me just like I wanted
I know you'd follow me across an endless sea
But baby I've got a heart that's haunted
Yeah in your cold and empty bed you'll think of me oh yes you'll think of me

Ah but you should know girl that I'll be crying
Out on that lonely road where not a soul can see
I'll shed my tears for a love that's dying
Yeah in your cold and empty bed you'll think of me oh yes you'll think of me

The summer sun girl will bring a stranger
And he'll be better to you than I used to be
And when he takes you into his arms girl
Well in your warm and loving bed you won't think of me no no
You won't think of me
[ guitar ] In your warm and loving bed you won't think of me no no
You won't think of me
(You won't think of me you won't think of me you won't think of me)

WITHOUT LOVE (THERE IS NOTHING)

(Danny Small) « © '69 Gomace Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I awakened this morning I was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes and gone oh yeah
As I looked at my life it was barren and bare
Without love I've had nothing at all

Without love without love I've had nothing
Oh without love I've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world all but one thing did I have
Without love I've had nothing at all

Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing oh that she would not give oh no
But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see
That a heart without love cannot live

Without love without love I've had nothing...
