Ridin' Shotgun (Honkin')

Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Ridin' shotgun on a fast freight train
Did I tell you daddy you're the man
You take me places I ain't never been
We're off and runnin' then we're off again
Ridin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let's go

I like the way you park your car on my lawn
The door is opened and you can come on
Ain't nothin' like you ever been around
Makin' plans only slows you down
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let's go
[ instrumental ]
Never know me yet you from town to town
Ain't nothin' gonna slow you down
Been honky tonkin' since the day you was born
Worlds of people tryin' to turn you on
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go

Ridin' shotgun on a fast freight train
Did I tell you daddy you're my man
You take me places I ain't never been
You're off and runnin' then you're off again
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way
[ guitar ]
Ridin' shotgun on a fast freight train...

Holdin' On

Waylon Jennings - Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

I can tell by how tight you squeeze
Whatever or not you got your mind on me
The tears are dry and the pain is gone
It's easy to let go once you stop holdin' on

Holdin' on afraid to let go
are we afraid of what we don't know
Turn loose get loose
there's more to see besides you and me

We once had a love called true
But time and tests have run it through the mill
I learned one thing a long time ago
If you wanna hold on lettin' go let me go

Holdin' on afraid to let go...

I can tell by how tight you squeeze
Whatever or not you got your mind on me
I can tell by how tight you squeeze
Whatever or not you got your mind on me
I can tell by how tight you squeeze
Whatever or not you got your mind on me
I can tell by how tight you squeeze

Nobody Else Like You

Randy Scruggs

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Every morning when I wake up I turn and reach for you
Then I thank the heavens above mostly for you

nobody else in the world like you
No one can love me the way you do
Nobody else could take the place of you
There's nobody else like you

And every night before I turn out the light I kiss you tenderly
I love to tell you how I love you what you mean to me

Nobody else in the world like you...
[ instrumental ]
Nobody else in the world like you...
Nobody else in the world like you...

Somewhere Along The Way

Bob Corbin

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Somewhere along the way I went so fast that I past right by you
Somewhere along the way I did things I never thought I'd do
I said before you came to me my life was such a shame and oh so lonely
And yet from somewhere in my past our mem'ries tried to drive me

Come back to me and I'll will answer first love's call
Come back to me where love is innocent and all
Come back to me and we will rise above it all
Come back to me

Somewhere along the road I gave up everything I loved dearly
Somewhere along the way I told myself they didn't matter near
As much as they had put me through gave me the right to clearly go my way
Closer that I get to you the more I see their way is my way

Come back to me and I'll will answer first love's call...

Wings Of My Victory

Waylon Jennings

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

There is a road you must walk in this life
There are many who fall by the road
I have seen the dark side of night
Now I'm lookin' at the light of a brand new day

Like an eagle soarin' toward the sun
Like a ship put out to sea
By and by my soul will fly
On the wings of my victory

I've been down in the depth of the mine
Been sorely tempted and I've given in
I've been burned by the heat of the fire
A many time loser who's about to win

Like an eagle soarin' toward the sun...

Many times I have walked all alone
Seen good ones die young bad ones go right on
Seen faces turn away hearts turn to stone
Now I've found a love that I can lean on

Like an eagle soarin' toward the sun...

By and by my soul will fly
On the wings of my victory
By and by my soul will fly
On the wings of my victory

Shine

Waylon Jennings

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

I have never never understood his rough and rowdy ways
He acts like easy only fool his daddy ever raised
But it makes me shine shine shine shine it makes me shine
Don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine

Don't need fancy ladies wasting up his time
He likes the tender lovin' games that won't keep them mine
Makes me shine shine shine shine shine he makes me shine
I don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine

Here's to the ones that do believe and disbelieve somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars Lord if they could see me now
See me shine shine shine shine see me shine
Don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine

I like living easy I like being free
Living free and easy brings out the best in me
See me shine shine shine shine shine see me shine
Don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine

Shine shine shine shine see me shine
Don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine
Oh shine shine shine shine see me shine
Don't take luck for a greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine

Ain't Makin' No Headlines

Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Day ain't makin' no headlines here without you
You do for me what no one else can do
The love you promised me keeps getting stronger
And so I'll carry on yes I'll carry on

My weakness feels stronger than it's strength
Sometimes the world upon me makes me sink
I look into your eyes and there I see
The only one I love and lovin' me

Day ain't makin' no headlines here without you
You do for me what no one else can do
The love you promised me keeps getting stronger
And so I'll carry on I know I'm gonna carry on
[ instrumental ]
Day ain't makin' no headlines here without you
You do for me what no one else can do
The love you promised me keeps getting stronger
And so I'll carry on oh I'm gonna carry on for you
For you carry on for you for you

Mama don't worry bout Jennifer Jennifer's gonna be fine
I know it won't be easy mom I'm gonna give it a try

Fly my little baby spread your wings and fly

Remember all the things you told me they will always keep me strong
You said there's no wrong way to love somebody no right way to be wrong

Fly my little baby spread your wings and fly...

To all you mamas and daddys who have a Jennifer you love so

Hard Times And Snow Come

Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Hard times and snow cone they made themselves a deal
You dream your dreams I'll dream mine
He called her woman but he knew she was a child
He was the last one she thought would have been so kind

He's growin' younger since he met you since he met you
She sees an old love since she meet you since she met you

Think of our crooked life in one
Think of all the broken hearts behind
See just how simple and free it'll be above it all

Hard times and snow cone they made themselves a deal
You dream your dreams I'll dream mine

He called her woman but he knew she was a child...
He called her woman but he knew she was a child...
He called her woman but he knew she was a child...

A Fallen Star

James Joiner

© Tree Pub, BMI

A star fell from heaven right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms
Who came into my life to fill a dream

A fallen star that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have strayed from the Milky Way
A fallen star that's what you are

The heaven must be lonely now that you are mine
I'm sure they'll miss a star as bright as you
But the stars will send their blessings and brighter they will shine
When they see the dream that's coming true

A fallen star that's what you are...
A star fell from heaven right into my arms...

Ridin' Shotgun (Tonkin')

Jessi Colter - Basil McDavid

© Waylon Jennings Music, BMI

Ridin' shotgun a fast freight train
Did I tell you daddy you're the man
You take me places that I've never been
We're off and runnin' then we're off again
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let go let go

I like the way you park your car on my lawn
The door is open daddy come on
Ain't nothin' ever been like you around
Makin' plans only slows you down
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let go let go

Livin' on the edges from town to town
There ain't nothin' gonna slow you down
You're honky tonkin' since the day you was born
Wasted people tryin' to turn you on
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let go let go

Ridin' shotgun on a fast freight train
Did I tell you that you're the man
You take me places I ain't never been
We're off and runnin' and we're off again
Flyin' high travelin' low
Too much ain't enough what a way to go let go let go
