CAN'T YOU SEE

(Toy T. Caldwell) « © '75 Spirit One Music, BMI »
Gonna catch a freight train down if I can Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain the highest mountain Lord
Gonna jump off there ain't nobody gonna know

Can't you see can't you see what that woman she's been doin' to me
Can't you see can't you see what that woman's been doin' to me
[ guitar ] Gonna buy a ticket go as far as I can Lord
Ain't never coming back
Take me a southbound all the way to Georgia Lord
Till that train runs out of track

Can't you see can't you see...
[ guitar ] Can't you see can't you see...
Can't you see can't you see...

LUCILLE

(Roger Bowling - Hal Bynum) « © '76 ATV Songs, BMI / Andite Invasion Music, BMI / Missed Memories Music, BMI »
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a barstool she took off her ring
Thought I'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter but I'm tired of livin' on dreams
Hungry for laughter here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman and sat there beside her he had a strange look on his face
His big hands were calloused he looked like a giant for a minute I thought I was dead
He started shaking his big heart was breaking he turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us I ordered more whiskey and I thought how she made him look small
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room we walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty when she came to me she must've thought that I'd lost my mind
But I couldn't hold her the words that he told her kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille...
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille...

LOVING HER WAS EASIER

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of the eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine in the shadows of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I'd never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money love and time we have to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

MARGARITAVILLE

(Jimmy Buffett) « © '77 Coral Reefer Music, BMI »
Livin' on sponge cake watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimps they're beginning to boil

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know that it's nobody's fault

Don't know the reason I stay here all season
With nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's really a beauty a Mexica cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I think hell could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault

BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN

(Chuck Berry) « © '56 Arc Music, BMI »
Flyin' cross the desert in a TWA saw a woman walkin' cross the sand
She'd walked thirty miles on route to LA to get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass she had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestlin' match to get a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in hist'ry three thousand years ever since the world began
There's a whole lotta good women sheddin' their tears for a brown eyed handsome man
It was the trouble was a brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a lawyer man
Mama told her darlin' go out and find yourself a brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy was a brown eyed handsome man

Arrested on charges of unemployment sittin' on the witness stand
TJudge's wife called up the district attorney said free that brown eyed handsome man
If you want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Way back in hist'ry three thousand years...

I BELIEVE IN YOU

(Roger Cook - Sam Hogin) « © '80 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I don't believe in superstars organic food and foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold the certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong that north and south can't get along
That east is east and west is west and being first was always best
But I believe in love I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad and I believe in you

I don't believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate
I like to think that God is love he's down below and up above
He's watchin' people everywhere he knows who does and doesn't care
I am an ordinary man sometimes I wonder who I am
But I believe in love I believe in music
I believe in magic and I believe in you

I know with all my certainty what's going on with you and me is a good thing
And it's true I believe in you

I don't believe virginity is common as it used to be
In working days and sleeping nights that black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline's in short supply the rising cost of gettin' by
But I believe in love I believe in old folks
I believe in children I believe in you

Yes I believe in love I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad and I believe in you

MAMMAS DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS

(Ed Bruce - Patsy Bruce) « © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
They rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone Star bells buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new day
If you can't understand him and he don't die young he'll probably just ride away

Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and the're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys...

Cowboys love smokey ole pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He's ain't wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys...
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys...

SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face combed my hair stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoke my mind the night before with cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
And I lit my first and watched the small kid cussin' at s can that he's been kicking
Then I walked across the street caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And it took me back to something that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way

On a Sunday morning sidewalk wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalks Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a daddy with the laughing little girl that he was swinging
I stopped beside a Sunday school listened to the songs taht they were singing
Then I headed back for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed in the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On a Sunday morning sidewalk wishing Lord that I was stoned...

AMANDA

(Bob McDill) « © '72 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I've held it all inward God knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprice
At the hair on my shoulders the age in my eyes

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
[ guitar ] It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowdin' thirty and still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life...

GOOD HEARTED WOMAN

(Waylon Jennings - Willie Nelson) « © '71 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Full Nelson Music, BMI »
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways that she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
The good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man

Well he likes the bright lights the night life and good timin' friends
When the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man...
Yes she's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man...
