Seven Year Ache

Rosanne Cash

© Atlantic Music, BMI

You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today
Baby you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way

Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say when is he gonna give us some room
The girls say God I hope he comes back soon

And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty why don't you come around
Baby what is so great about sleeping downtown

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home

Just tell 'em your trying to cure a seven year ache...
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache...

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if he's not there
I wonder what went wrong I waited for too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for him

Though tonight he's made me sad
I still love him
If I find him I'll be glad
I still love him

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know

Though tonight he's made me sad...
I had a drink or two and I don't care...

I think I'll take a walk and look for him
I think I'll take a walk

Hold On

Rosanne Cash

© Atlantic Music, BMI

If you want to keep a woman like me you got to hold on
If you want to see how good it can be baby hold on
All my friends think that I'm a fool
I tell you something honey they're not that cool
If you want to keep a woman like me you got to hold on

If you want to know how far we can go you got to hold on
If you take it slow then I got something to show you baby hold on
All those girls with their empty heads
Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed
If you want to know how far I can go you got to hold on

She'll give you reasons for her kind
You might believe it but I'm not that blind

If you think you need a woman like me you got to hold on
If you want to find what I've got on my mind baby hold on
All this small talk that keeps us apart
Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts
If you think you need a woman like me you got to hold on
If you want to keep a woman like me then baby hold on

You got to hold on (hold on)
Hold on baby (hold on)
(Hold on) you got to hold on (hold on hold on)

Blue Moon With Heartache

Rosanne Cash

© Atlantic Music, BMI

Blue moon out my window guess this means goodnight
And you come in and start right in not treating me right
Misery is a ball and all its company
I'll play the victim for you honey but not for free

I run into that heartache just like a wall
And act like nothing happened to me nothing at all
Lately I'm amazed at how blind we can be
Lately even dreaming feels like old reality

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again
What would I give to bring back those old times
What did I say to make your cold heart bleed this way
Maybe I'll just go away today

And I don't care who's waiting at my front door
You know that life don't hold no glamour anymore
Oh how can it all look so right and feel so wrong
I'll play the victim for you honey but not for long

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again
What would I give to bring back those old times
What did I say to make your past turn out this way
Maybe I'll just go away today
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away to stay
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away

My Baby Thinks He's A Train

Leroy Preston

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

It's three a.m. in the mornin'
The train whistle is blowin'
It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul in my soul
My baby split blank and he won't be back no more

My baby thinks he's a train
He makes his whistle stop then he's gone again
Sometimes it's hard on a poor girl's brain a poor girl's brain
I'm tellin' you boys my baby thinks he's a train

Locomotion's the way he moves
He drags me round just like an old caboose
I'm tellin' you girls that man's insane
My baby thinks he's a train

Choo choo rages on train sound
It's the noise that you hear when my baby hits town
With his long hair flyin' man he's hard to take
What you supposed to do when your baby thinks he's a train

He eats money like a train eats coal
He burns it up and leaves you in the smoke
If you wanna catch a ride you wait till he unwinds
He's just like a train he always gives some tramp a ride

Locomotion's the way he moves...

No Memories Hangin' Round

Rodney Crowell

© Coolwell Music, ASCAP

with Bobby Bare

You don't want no more heartaches
And I don't want no teardrops
What else is love to talk about
Cause I ain't yours you ain't mine
The song don't fit and the words don't rhyme
Old mem'ries keep standin' in the way

You lost her I lost him
Two old hearts just won't love again
We don't need no mem'ries hangin' round
[ instrumental ]
Since she's gone it don't seem right
Better off left alone at night
I ain't faking feelings far away
The days just come and disappear
You can't talk when I don't hear
That it don't make no difference anyway

I lost her you lost him
Two old hearts just won't love again
I don't need no mem'ries hangin' round
I want her you need him
Two old fire won't burn again
We don't need no mem'ries hangin' round
No we don't need no mem'ries hangin' round

I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me

Rodney Crowell - Rosanne Cash

© Coolwell Music, ASCAP

It's the right time you know I feel fine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
It's the right place I've got my new face tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I'm in the right mood I've got my new shoes tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I've got my new dress I couldn't hurt less tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)

Somebody told you I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between (she better start walking)
Somebody hurt you but baby she wasn't me

We'll find a new name for such an old game tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I'll show you how long that I can go on tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me

Just when I think that I can make it without you
You come 'round and say you want me now
You tell me don't leave and I want to believe you
Why can't you see just how much I need you

Somebody told you I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between (she better start walking)
Somebody hurt you but baby she wasn't me

Oh it's the last chance for a romance tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
There'll be no next time if you won't be mine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)

I Wonder

Leroy Preston

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

Every time I'm near you my heart jumps all about
My mind can't figure out what to do
But I've been disillusioned enough by love turned blue
Your love may be true but I wonder

Am I supposed to think that your love will be true
And deny the part of me that says you'd leave me too
Cause yesterday reminds me that what I've lost is gone
Your love may linger on but I wonder

Am I supposed to think that your love will be true
And deny the part of me that says you'd leave me too
Cause yesterday reminds me that what I've lost is gone
Your love may linger on but I wonder oh I wonder
Yeah I wonder oh I wonder oh

Never Be You

Benmont Tench - Tom Petty

© Blue Gator Music, ASCAP

Take a look at my eyes it's been a long long time
I used to feel so strong when I knew you were mine

But since you let me down I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do he could never be you
He could never be you

I guess it all comes around baby please don't cry
Love is gonna be a little reckless oh lovers all have to stand trial

Since you let me go there's nothing going on
I don't know what I'm gonna do he could never be you
He could never be you uh uh uh uh huh
He could never be you

He knows the rules and he plays the part
But he only has me he don't have my heart
He could never be you

So take a look at my eyes no you can't hide the truth
No you don't get by on pride it'll run over you

Since you let me down I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do he could never be you
He could never be you uh uh uh uh huh
He could never be you

The Way We Make A Broken Heart

John Hiatt

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

Just one more kiss she'll have to miss this night with you
Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too
You'll get used to tellin' lies feeling sorry when she cries
Now that the strings aren't attached you'll catch on we've done our part
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one we've just begun to hurt her so
And with lesson two she'll long for you when lights are low
And we get to lesson three when she gets down on her knees
Begs you to stop at the door just before she comes apart
Oh this is the way we make a broken heart

Now we've made a trail of tears for her to follow
And we've thought of every line that she might swallow

And with lesson four there'll be no more for her to bear
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair
Then she'll find somebody new and he'll likely hurt her too
Cause there must be millions just like you and me practiced in the art
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart
Ay yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
This is the way we make a broken heart
Ay yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
This is the way this is the way this is the way this is the way
Oh this is the way we make a broken heart

Tennessee Flat Top Box

Johnny Cash

© Southwind Music, BMI

In a little cabaret in a south Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
And all the girls from there to Austin
Were slippin' way from home and puttin' jewelry in hock
To take a trip to go and listen
To the little dark haired boy that played The Tennessee Flat Top Box
And he would play
[ instrumental ]
Well he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snappin' fingers tappin' toes and beggin' him don't stop
And hypnotized and fascinated
By the little dark haired boy who played The Tennessee Flat Top Box
And he would play
[ instrumental ]
Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him round
He vanished like the breeze they forgot him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors ware locked
And then one day on the hit parade
Was a little dark haired boy who played a Tennessee Flat Top Box
And he would play
[ instrumental ]

Black And White

Steve Smith

© Curb Songs, ASCAP

Oh my life is in black and white
Like an old-time picture show
Yes in my life is just like
The plot you never know

But I have seen the rainbow
That's why you feel so grey
Yeah I have seen that's how I know
That the scenes and shades change day-by-day

Oooh my life is in black and white
But the focus out of view
Well my life is just like
A scene without a cue

But I have seen the rainbow
That's why you feel so grey
Yeah I have seen that's how I know
That the scenes from life change day by day

Oh so I watch life in black and white
On a screen I find too small
Yes so my life is just like
A film with no end at all
