Rosie Strike Back

Lisa Gilkyson

© Atlantic Music, BMI

He's a bruiser he loves to tease you
He's a loser you think he needs you
You always come back you always come back for more
He winds up tight out all night
Been drinkin' down he's lookin' for a fight
He knocks you down you don't even know what for

Rosie strike back Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You can't suffer your whole life livin' like that
Get goin' don't pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walkin' Rosie strike back

You think he's changin' weeks pass
He's angry lies coiled like a snake in the grass
The time will come when he takes it all out on you
He throws punches you bear with him
Don't take it on you Rosie don't be his victim
You can't carry the blame for what he's putting you through

Rosie strike back Rosie strike back...

(Don't take his world on your shoulder
Don't let your heart grow much colder)
There's people out there who can help you
If you let them help you hey Rosie
[ instrumental ]
(Keep walkin' Rosie)
[ instrumental ]
Rosie strike back Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You can't suffer your whole life living like that
(Keep walkin' Rosie)
Get goin' don't pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walkin' Rosie keep walkin' Rosie
Keep walkin' Rosie strike back

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

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

The Real Me

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I don't know what you feel no more when you look in my eyes
I know I'm the same girl who walked out that door but I'm brand new inside
Maybe what I'm saying ain't true after all I take it a minute at a time
Maybe all I want is to hold you right now with no compromise

This is the real me breaking down at last
Hey it's the real me crawling out of my past
Baby the real me wants the real you so bad

The numbness overcomes me now like alcohol and fear
I want to crawl inside you baby but I don't want you near
A woman's her own mystery not a shadow of her man
But I'm not a queen inside a mirror no more I'm not a guard to hold your hand

This is the real me breaking down at last...

Oh I've got no answers now and I don't expect them of you
Thank God for second chances baby cause there's something I can give to you

And that's the real me breaking down at last...
Yeah the real me wants the real you so bad

Somewhere Sometime

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I was a wise insider I knew the score
I kept him on those heart strings begging for more
No chance for real emotion here no end in sight
I watched him slip away from me night after night

I came so close to breaking down didn't turn away
I don't wanna reveal that much baby I don’t wanna pay
Don't want the keys to paradise nobody's home
Don't wanna feel the fire and ice sleeping alone

(Somewhere sometime
Some way he'll change his mind)

Maybe he's lost in the confusion
Maybe he wants somebody new but I ain't through with him
And I don't wanna lose him out there
[ instrumental ]
Maybe he's lost in the confusion...

(Somewhere sometime
Some way he'll change his mind
Somewhere sometime
Some way he'll change his mind)
[ instrumental ]
(Somewhere sometime somewhere sometime)

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

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

I Don't Have To Crawl

Rodney Crowell

© Visa Music, ASCAP

You look at me as if you don't know me
You talk to me like you've never met me
I could leave you alone if I tried
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to I could be long gone
Yes if I wanted to I could be long gone

I don't have to play nobody's fool
And I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to crawl I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl I can just walk away
[ instrumental ]
You make your move as if I should follow you
You call on me just like I should run to you
Well I don't have to get down on my knees
I will not be a peasant to please you
I don't have to crawl I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl I can just walk away
[ instrumental ]
I don't have to crawl
(I don't have to crawl)

Green Yellow And Red

John Kilzer

© Bro'n Sis Music, BMI

Drivin' down on Highway 16
I thought I heard somebody scream
There was somethin' on the windshield couldn't see a doggone thing
That's when I heard that siren sing

No time to wonder what she said uh huh
(Green yellow yellow to red)
No time to count those voices in your head uh huh
(Green yellow yellow to red)
She's got cups for the blood and butter for the bread uh huh
(Green yellow yellow to red)
So don't drive so fast these brakes are bad

In through the outside out through the in
Around the curve into a spin
I went over the edge at Leopard's Bend
Who's gonna help you now my friend

No time to wonder what she said uh huh...
[ instrumental ]
Drivin' down on Highway 16...
There's no time to wonder what she said uh huh...

Why Don't You Quit Leaving Me Alone

Benmont Tench

© Blue Gator Music, ASCAP

Surely you remember this old resort hotel
It's pink and white all over and historical as hell
F Scott and Zelda stayed here and you and me as well
At least that's how the story goes the porters like to tell

A cold hard rain comes pourin' down
It wasn't like this last time around
There's no calm center to this storm
Oh baby why don't you quit leavin' me alone

There's nothing on the TV no message on the phone
And nothing but an awful lot of nothing goin' on
And every radio station plays the same forsaken song
You'd think I would've had the sense to leave this place alone

Well some dreams die with dignity
They fade out clean and quietly
Some won't let you let them go
Ah baby why don't you quit leavin' me alone
[ instrumental ]
Same old corner bedroom seven stories up
That overlooks the window that overlooks the gulf
The same old sleazy porter with the after hours stuff
I think I'll kick the walls around and beat myself up

Well some dreams die with dignity
They fade out clean and quietly
Some won't let you let them go
Ah baby why don't you quit leavin' me

A cold hard rain comes pourin' down...
