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...

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...

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

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)

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
[ guitar ]
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
[ guitar ]
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
[ guitar ]

If You Change Your Mind

Rosanne Cash - Hank DeVito

© Chelcait Music, BMI

If you change your mind and leave the past behind
You know where you'll always find me
And if she breaks your heart and tears your world apart
You can always count on me

And when your heart's in doubt and things aren't working out
I can be the one who makes you happy
Call me on the telephone darling I am always home
If you ever change your mind

When the time is right I can hold you tight
You know I can wait forever
And time is on our side and we can surely find
All the love we'll ever need

And take a chance on this seal it with a kiss
I can be the one who makes you happy
Call me on the telephone darling I am always home
If you ever change your mind

All I have is love to give you baby I could be there with you
If you ever change your mind
Call me on the telephone darling I am always home
If you ever change your mind

Runaway Train

John Stewart

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

I'm worried about you I'm worried about me
The curves around midnight aren't easy to see
Flashing red warnings unseen in the rain
This thing has turned into a runaway train

Long distance phone calls a voice on the line
Electrical miles that soften the time
The dynamite too is hooked on the wire
And so are the rails of American Flyers

Blind boys and gamblers they invented the blues
Will pay up in blood when this marker comes due
To try and get off now it's about as insane
As those who wave lanterns at runaway trains

Steel rails and hard lives are always in twos
I have been here before this and now it's with you

I'm worried about you I'm worried about me
We're lighting the fuses and counting to three
And what are the choices for those who remain
The sign of the cross on a runaway train

This thing has turned into a runaway train
This thing has turned into a runaway train
Our love has turned into a runaway train

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
