You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie)

Chuck Berry

© Arc Music, BMI

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammer with TV dinners and gingerale
But when Pierre found work the little money comin' worked out well
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records all rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell
[ instrumental ]
They bought a souped up jitney twas a cherry red fifty nine
They drove down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wadded to that lovely madamoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em well...

It's a rainy seasons for broken hearts everybody gets a turn
Choose your number and wait in line here comes yours
Round and round and round we go lucky like
You can play with fire and you won't get burned oh what a lie

I can't think I can't eat I have trouble fallin' asleep
Since I met you since I met you
You sure turned my head around my whole world is upside down
Since I met you Since I met you

It's a rainy season for broken hearts...
I can't think I can't eat I have trouble fallin' asleep...

I'll Be Alright

Waylon Jennings - Jerry Bridges - Michael Lawley

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Win some lose some that's what they say
Time is the healer there's no other way
I can't remember how long has it been
But I saw you last night it started over again

When I saw you last night I had control of myself
Then I realized what little I had left
The sooner you're gone and out of my sight
Just leave me alone I'll be alright
I'll be alright
[ instrumental ]
Nothin' but good times and candles to burn
When the flame burns out it will never return
You haven't changed girl and I never will
When I saw you last night I knew I needed you still

When I saw you last night I had control of myself...

The Wild Side Of Life

William Warren - Arlie Carter

© Unart Music, BMI

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
[ instrumental ]
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin'
A song bout the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
As you say in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're single
And it haunts a million poor girls to go wrong

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
Too many times married men think they're single
And go back to the wild side of life
They go back to the wild side of life

Pastels And Harmony

Gordon Payne - Bee Spears

© Ace In The Hole Music, BMI

She paints him pretty pictures he writes her pretty songs
Not a color is wasted not a note is wrong
Like pieces of a puzzle they fit where they belong

Like pastels and harmony don't they make a pretty picture
Pastels and harmony don't they make a pretty song

Their love it holds no questions it's sure like night like day
At times she needs no colors and he needs no tunes to play
Even if he sings the blues his color in pain's gray
On canvas she sings to him a melody that rings to him a song
And the portrait of his lady is written in words of his song
[ instrumental ]
Pastels and harmony don't they make a pretty picture...
Pastels and harmony

I Believe You Can

Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Baron Music, BMI

There'll be joy there'll be tears there'll be laughter in your journey
Don't let the tears overflow
You'll be up so high the fall will seem unbearable
You have the strength on your side

I saw a star I knew last night he asked about you
The sky told the sun run and find you
You feel like a champion rise and fall then rise up again
I believe you can I believe you can

There'll be joy there'll be tears...
I believe you can I believe you can

What's Happened To Blue Eyes

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

What's happened to blue eyes has anybody seen her
Don't anybody tell me she gave up on me
I'm lookin' for blue eyes does anybody know her
Can anyone tell me is she still lookin' for me

There was a time blue eyes said she'd love no other
Her one and only love she swore I'd be
There was a time her blue eyes saw clearer than mine did
Tears and rain years and pain bring me back this way

Lookin' for blue eyes has anybody seen her...
[ instrumental ]
What's happened to blue eyes has anybody seen her...
Lookin' for blue eyes

Storms Never Last

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
You make the sun want to shine

Oh I followed you down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you some soft sad songs
And every road we took God knows our search was for the truth
And the storm brewing now won't be the last

Storms never last do they baby...
[ instrumental ]
Storms never last do they baby...

I Ain't The One

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

If you're lookin' for someone who's got it all to give
If you lookin' for someone who won't care how you live
If you're lookin' for someone who's only lovin' you
I ain't the one I ain't the one

If you're lookin' for someone to dry your tears when you cry
If you're lookin' for someone to turn his back each time you lie
If you're lookin' for someone to walk on then walk by
But I ain't the one I ain't the one

I ain't the one to let you do what you want to
I ain' the one who sits still and let you be untrue
I ain' t the one who'll go on lovin' you no matter what you do
I ain't the one I ain't the one

Just keep lookin' further down the road
You might find yourself someone who likes walkin' alone
Someone you'll play with and leave dead by the road
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one

You're Not My Same Sweet Baby

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

You're not my same sweet baby lady
You're not the same baby I knew
The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man
Who can change it for you
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go

What's the good in pretending and watching it drag on and on
The good is in ending it while there's the time left
To say that your mind is your own

You're not my same sweet baby lady
Now the bright lights faded they've taken the baby from you
Girl I'm not saying my bubbles so great
That hard times won't break that too
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go
[ instrumental ]
What's the good in pretending...

You're not my same sweet baby lady
Girl I'm not saying I haven't done some changing too
So please stop your cryin' you know I'm not tryin'
To lay all the blame off on you
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go
[ steel ]
The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man
Who can change it for you
