Baby Better Start Turnin' 'em Down

In this modern world we're livin' in
The rules ain't like they've ever been
Speakin' of spreadin' it thin
That's what you do flashin' your soul
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with feelings
Baby better start turnin' 'em down

Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in
Hangin' out out on the rock and roll fringe
Speakin' of runnin' around all over town lettin' it show
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act in public
Baby you better start turnin' 'em down
Start to turnin' 'em down

Sure is clear ain't nothin' easy anymore
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
Sure is rainin' like this feelin' in my heart
Sure is crazy how you're actin'
[ instrumental ]
In this latest craze or current trend
Burnin' money every way that you can
Speakin' of goin' for broke
That's how it is when lettin' it roll
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with strangers
Baby better start turnin' 'em down
Start to turnin' 'em down

I said baby we better start turnin' 'em
Baby we better start turnin' 'em
Baby we better start turnin' 'em down

Take Me Take Me

Keith Sykes

Take me take me in your heart tonight
And make me think these things I say are right
In the morning I ignore the dawn
With a bag of dreams to a cold hard town
So take me take me in your heart tonight

It's an easy thing to say you're leaving
I know I've done it everywhere I've been
But in the morning we'll know the truth
And it makes me wanna shout out what's the use
So take me take me in your heart tonight
[ instrumental ]
Make me feel like I'll see you again
Let's pretend we're happy like old friends
Make believe there's nothing wrong
Though the time's too short for a love so strong
So take me take me in your heart tonight

It's an easy thing to say you're leaving...
Take me take me in your heart tonight...

Thoughts From The Train

Lucy Neale

© House Of Cash, BMI

From the train I watch the tracks go by
They look the same mile after mile from my pain
I watch the time go by things seen to change
Though I'd loved you all this while

My love is like a mountain in a storm
Surviving like a bumper through a wall
With all the things you said and done you tried to tear it down
But nothing seen to make me come around

My love is like a mountain in a storm...

You were mine it happened to be spring
It was a time for lettin' new things grow
I was shy to come beneath your wings
I left behind what I chosen not to know

My love is like a mountain in a storm...
My love is like a mountain in a storm...

You are gone like all my loves before
Your very name still shakes me to the core
I was wrong to love you so much more
Some things have changed but others must be bored

My love is like a mountain in a storm...
My love is like a mountain in a storm...

Understand Your Man

Johnny Cash

© Southwind Music, BMI

Don't call my name out your window when I'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone like I said
Now you've been sayin' the same ole thing that you've been sayin' all along
To lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan
Understand your man understand your man

You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I'm untanglin' my mind
Now I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
You'll understand your man tell me you'll understand your man
[ instrumental ]
Now I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man understand your man

I'm Ragged But I'm Right

George Jones

© Starrite Music, BMI

I've come here to tell you boys I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
Got a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford

I got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
Little baby boy playing around at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I lead a dirty life
I tell you boys I'm ragged but I'm alright

I got married I knew I'd settle down
Build a little love nest right here in my hometown
Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of
I know that we'll be happy cause they're the ones I love

Got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
Little baby boy playing around at mama's feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I lead a dirty life
I tell you boys I'm ragged but I'm alright
[ instrumental ]
I got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep...
I got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep...

Anybody's Darling (Anything But Mine)

Rodney Crowell

© Happy Sack Music, ASCAP

I treat him like a stallion I treat him like a lamb
I treat him like a pot of gold he treats me like a clown
It's daggers when he looks at me bullets when he speaks
Evil how he calls on me pretending that he's so weak
He'll be anybody's darling he'll be anything but mine

He's got all new friends Hollywood has him
Better off than other people in this world
There are fools to follow him rearranging him
Changing everything I hoped that I might save
Always just another rainy day away

He needs me but only to hold his hand
Don't like being alone
He holds me but not like a lover can
He wants me but not like I am
He'll be anybody's darling he'll be anything but mine

He's got all new friends Hollywood has him...

He's clever such a chosen face
Striking at even a glance
So gracious but only with what he wants
He's lucky but only by chance
He'll be anybody's darling he'll be anything but mine

Darling he'll be anything but mine
He'll be anybody's darling he'll be anything but mine
(Darling darling) he'll be anything but mine

Feelin' Blue

John Fogerty

© Jondora Music, BMI

Hey look over yonder out in the rain
Soaking wet fever in my brain
I ain't certain which way to go
But I got to move for sure

I'm feelin' blue blue blue blue blue
Feelin' blue blue blue blue blue
Feelin' blue blue blue blue blue
I'm feelin' blue I'm feelin' blue

Hey look over yonder behind the wall
They're closing in I'm about to fall
I ain't no coward but I ain't no fool
I'm feelin' that in my bones my book is due

Feelin' blue blue blue blue blue...
[ instrumental ]
Hey look over yonder up in the tree
There's a rope hanging just for me
Without a warning without a warning
Things are piling up to break me down

Feelin' blue blue blue blue blue...

Hey look over yonder out in the street
People laughing by walking wasy
I ain't no sinner but I ain't no saint
If it's happy you can say I ain't

Feelin' blue blue blue blue blue...

We Can Do What We Like

Rosanne Cash

© House Of Cash, BMI

If I don't make promises will you stay around
I won't let you hurt me I know better by now
It's hard to control it it hurts to decide
If we trust in tomorrow we can do what we like

You're a poet by nature a drifter by heart
A change from the old ways a love in the dark
It might be my conscience it's hurting your pride
We may get pass heartache we can do what we like

You can close the last door on my past
My eyes are set forward my charts are in order
So my hands are tied behind my back

I would not deny you or catch you off guard
For old souls with young minds can take things so hard
While we practice the distance I keep you in sight
After the snow clears we can do what we like

Baby We Can Be Friends

Rosanne Cash

© House Of Cash, BMI

Sometimes it's hard to find words and sometimes the words seem too hard
Maybe we're feeling insecure we're still not used to our parts
But if I sound self assured I tell you I know where I stand
Well that's only somethin' I've learnt you got to say it again

Say baby we can be friends
And then tell me something like this
Say darling I loved you on sight
I won't let you be lonesome tonight
[ instrumental ]
You think you're taking a chance and I'm not so sure I agree
But I'll pretend I understand if you'll just explain it to me
I don't want to make these demands I don't want to limit your style
But I wish that you misunderstand when I say leave me alone for awhile

Say baby we can be friends...
Say baby we can be friends...

Can I Still Believe In You

Rosanne Cash

© House Of Cash, BMI

You showed up on my doorstep late last night
Said he didn't want to fight no more
Going back is near impossible I cried
You should had thought of this before

Said that he was sorry changed his mind
Would I considered his amends
It's far too late your love has struck me blind
And now I can't go back to him

Now the love that I believed in is all but slipped away
But a dream that has no chance will not come true
And even though like children we're caught in our own lies
Darling can I still believe in you
[ instrumental ]
Memories are easy when they're new
They turn the sorrow to romance
Easier to live with than the truth
And harder than our desperate second chance

Now the love that I believed in is all but slipped away...
Darling can I still believe in you
