Diane

Ronnie Rogers

© Newkeys Music, BMI

Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again
You might as well do the wrong again with me
I haven't told a soul nobody knows about you and me
Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again
You might as well do the wrong again with me

We both lost our heads in the red wine
Left the lounge and drove to another town
Spent the night in a ten dollar mansion
You woke me the next morning cryin'

You ask me to forget about the things we did
Said you had no cause to be with me
And I believed you loved him so I stayed away
Diane you're back again and you swore you wouldn't be

Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again...
[ instrumental ]
Here we sit at the same corner table
Playin' the same songs with our dimes
Talkin' the same old conversation
Losin' our heads again in the red wine

Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again...
Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again...

The Last Thing She Said

Ed Bruce - Ron Peterson

© Tree Pub, BMI

It wasn't me and I know it wasn't her
We just ran out the ways to make it work
If I could hate her like I love her God you know that's what I do
But the last thing she said was I love you

And just like that she left her memory behind
To slowly learn its way around my mind
And if she didn't want to hurt me she did the worst thing she could do
Cause the last thing she said was I love you

If I'm lucky I'll go crazy and I'll stay there till I die
I won't have to give a damn for who I am or ever wonder why
If I could hate her like I love her God you know that's what I do
But the last thing she said was I love you
[ instrumental ]
If I'm lucky I'll go crazy and I'll stay there till I die...

The Last Cowboy Song

Ed Bruce - Ron Peterson

© Tree Pub, BMI

with Willie Nelson

This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along another piece of America's lost

He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer
And his dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball ol' Wyatt backed down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down

This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz...

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louie L'Amore has told us his tale
And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

The old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs
They blow by his market never slowin' to reason
Like living and dying was all he did

This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz...
This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz...
This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz...
This is the last cowboy song

Love Ain't Something I Can Do Alone

Ed Bruce - Patsy Bruce - Ron Peterson

© Tree Pub, BMI

Tonight I pray I'll lay me down to sleep
And know I pray the Lord my mind were keep
Or at least just let me die before I wake
Cause my life's the only thing you didn't take

You left me with the one thing I can't use
And everything I treasured left with you
God knows that I can't live like this for long
Cause love ain't somethin' I can do alone

Tonight I pray I'll lay me down to sleep...

Tomorrow may be better than today
But I'm afraid it's yesterday that's killin' me
And God knows that I can't live like this for long
Cause love ain't somethin' I can do alone

Tonight I pray I'll lay me down to sleep...

God knows that I can't live like this for long
Cause love ain't somethin' I can do alone

Girls Women And Ladies

Ed Bruce - Patsy Bruce - Ron Peterson

© Tree Pub, BMI

There was only me and her and him
The bar was givin' last call so I thought I'd move on in
And I was slick and feelin' like a man
So I took the stool between 'em ordered one more round for me and her and him

I placed my arms across the back of her barstool
I don't remember what I said but at the time it sounded cool
She pushed her drink away and never looked at me
She just paid her tab tipped the man left me sittin' there alone with him

And she said there's girls and there's women and there's ladies
There's yes'es and there's no's and there's maybe's
There's teasin' and pleasin' they start learnin' when they're babies
There's girls and there's women and there's ladies

Well he pushed his old straw hat back and he grinned
And he said ain't they all a mystery ha ha sonny it's a sin
They're all sittin' on the world they're tryin' to win
Ah but you know I love a mystery so let's drink another round to you and me and them

He said there's girls and there's women and there's ladies...
There's girls and there's women and there's ladies...
Said there's girls and there's women and there's ladies...

Neon Fool

Ronnie Rogers

© Newkeys Music, BMI

The hour is late it's close to closin' an old familiar scene
The nightlife crowd has come and gone leavin' just her and me
And she loves a drink with her song and a friend for an hour or two
And I'm in love with anything I can neon fool

Her hungry eyes show her intentions and I have seen that desperate place
They're looking my way saying we've got time for one more dance
It's her plan to have a man tonight when she leaves that stool
And I'm in love anything I can neon fool

Night after night I play this game and I know the odds so well
I could lose my part of heaven hanging round in hell damn the man
With a mind I can't control shame on me for things that I do
I'm in love with anything I can neon fool

I'm in love with anything I can neon fool
I'm just in love with anything I can neon fool

Blue Umbrella

John Prine

© Walden Music, ASCAP

Feelings are strange especially when they come true
And I had a feeling you'd be leavin' soon
So I tried to rearrange all my emotions
But it seems no matter what I do

Blue umbrella rest upon my shoulder
And hides the pain while the rain makes up my mind
For my feet are wet from thinking this thing over
It's been so long since I felt the warm sunshine

Just give me one good reason
And I promise I won't ask you anymore
Just give me one extra season
So I can figure out the other four

The day time makes me wonder why you left me
The night time makes me wonder what I said
The next time all the words I'd like to plan on
But last time was the only thing you said

Blue umbrella rest upon my shoulder...
Just give me one good reason...
So I can figure out dear the other four
Just give me one good reason...

The Outlaw And The Stranger

Ed Bruce - Ron Peterson

© Tree Pub, BMI

He was born in three quarter time
When the guitars play flat the world sing out of tune
A hundred years late but ahead of his time
And I swear not a minute too soon

They thought he was crazy cause he talked to walls
At once nobody listened except me and all

He's a honky tonk hero the ladies all love him
He learned to pick country in a rock and roll band
And he's the cowboy his mama let grow up to be
A good hearted woman's a good timin' man

They call him an outlaw when his only try
Has given us gold in exchange for our times

So God bless the outlaw and the redhead stranger his friend
And God bless the pickups and guitars and love when you win
And God save the music so we'll know where it began
