TILL THE RIVERS ALL RUN DRY

(Don Williams - Wayland Holyfield) « © '75 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

I know sometimes you may wonder
From litte things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you cause I'll need you

Till the rivers all run dry...
[ dobro ] Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way

Till the rivers all run dry...

YOU KEEP COMING ROUND

(Don Williams) « © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You sure know how to get to me
Somehow you just won't let it be
We both know it's all in vain
But you keep coming round again

The many days and nights we've tried
But every time somebody's cried
And every time should be the end
But you keep coming round again

Beats everything I ever saw
Cause I know it's gonna go but it just keeps goin'
I guess I keep thinkin' well maybe you're not stringin' me on
But if you are that string sure had been long

There's something there within your eyes
That somehow seems to paralyse
And like before I never win
You keep coming round again

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME

(Don Williams) « © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Don't you think it's time for us to work it out
Don't you think you know what it's all about
Don't you think it's sad livin' all alone
So don't you think it's time for us to get along

We know the songs of all the wrongs
Love that dies nobody tries
But here and now I know what's true
I can't live without you

So don't you think it's time...
[ guitar ] Find a page that says we're old
Is love at home or is it cold

So don't you think it's time...

I DON'T WANT THE MONEY

(Don Williams) « © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I don't want the money I just want your time
Life without you honey idn't worth a dime
We can think of dollars further down the line
I don't want the money I just want your time

An air-conditioned car won't ever cool my heels
I'd rather have your love than money for the bills
We don't need to stay with the Jonese's or the rest
Cause things won't ever give me what I love the best

I don't want the money I just want your time...
[ dobro - fiddle ] Well maybe Jim and Judy might have this and that
I hope where they're looking is really where it's at
When it comes to money baby it's a fact
I'd rather be loved and lean than out of love and fat

I don't want the money I just want your time...

WHERE THE ARKANSAS RIVER LEAVES OKLAHOMA

(Wayland Holyfield) « © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back

I met her in Stillwell she just turned twenty
A spirited beauty like I'd never known
And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river
But she said she loved me and the free life I know

We married in April and lived by the river
We worked at land from spring till the fall
But I guess when the winter out at our window
She couldn't help hearing that wild river call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma...
[ steel ] She tried to conquer that wild rage within her
But something too strong ran deep in her soul
But I know she loved me she cried like a baby
That cold winter evening she answered the call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma...

SAY IT AGAIN

(Bob McDill) « © '75 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Oh all I needed was one look
One magic moment was all it took
From that moment I loved you so
Now that I found you I'm never gonna let you go

So come on say it say it again
It sounds so good say it one more time and then
Well if I mean it say it again
The hard part's over and the loving part begins
[ dobro ] Oh hold me closer make me warm
I feel wanted here in your arms
I've been lonely for too long
I've waited a lifetime for you to come along

So come on say it say it again...
Come on say it say it again...

MAYBE I JUST DON'T KNOW

(Don Williams) « © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You came to me like a dove on the wind
As great as your beauty was your freedom within
You said to me the things on your mind
But I didn't help you I couldn't unwind

Maybe I should have held you maybe I should have tried
Maybe I could have helped you through the night
Maybe I should know better sometimes which way to go
Maybe I just don't know
[ fiddle ] Sometimes the ground looks as hard as a rock
But sometimes it's nutty and so hard to walk
Sometimes the beauty is covered with snow
Sometimes the right seems the wrong way to go

Maybe I should have held you...

MAGIC CARPET

(Larry Kingston - Frank Dycus) « © '76 Window Music, BMI / Careers Music, BMI »
Wish I had a magic carpet together we could fly
We could sail away forever watch the world go by

If I'd had Alladian's lanthern I'd know just what to do
Cause all I'd need to do is touch you make my dreams come true

But I don't have a magic carpet magic lamps are hard to find
And I can't conjure up a secret potion to steal your heart and make you mine

All I've got is a four-leaf clover it's my only good luck charm
But I get a magic feeling all over thinkin' about you in my arms
[ guitar ] No I don't have a magic carpet...
All I've got is a four-leaf clover...

TIME

(Michael Merchant) « © '59 Regent Music, BMI »
Some people run some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light some wrapped in fearful black

Time oh time where did you go
Time oh good good time where did you go
[ steel ] Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold sometimes it's hot
Sunset I laugh sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between and wondering why

Time oh time where did you go...
Time oh time where did you go...

SHE NEVER KNEW ME

(Bob McDill - Wayland Holyfield) « © '75 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
She packed up her suitcase and walked to the door
She said she won't come back like she's done before
I bet she's in Dallas before it gets dark
I know she's thinking she's breaking my heart
She knows I love her so she thinks I'll crawl
But she never knew me she never knew me
She never knew me at all

She know I love her I know I need her
God knows to please her I've tried and I've tried

By now if I know her she's changed her mind
She'll pull off the highway and have a good cry
And then like a lost child she'll wanna come home
She thinks I'm waitin' there by the phone
She'll stop in some cafe and give me a call
But she never knew me she never knew me
She never knew me at all
