Hanging Up My Heart

Hank DeVito

© Drunk Moneky Music, ASCAP

Well I'm hanging up my heart in the lodge in the bunkhouse
I don't wanna be wounded by the wrong kind of love
No more rodeo dances no more howling at the moonlight
I'm gonna give 'em up and I'm hanging up my heart

Late in the night been working every day to keep you satisfied
It just ain't right to hear you say to me you would let love fly

Well I'm hanging up my heart in the lodge in the bunkhouse...

If I were you I'd try to understand and see my point of view
If I were you I'd never be the one who treats me like you do

If I were you I'd never have said goodbye tore my world apart
If I were you I'd never have played the game you fooled me from the start

Well I'm hanging up my heart in the lodge in the bunkhouse...
Yes I'm gonna give 'em up and I'm hanging up my heart

Invitation To The Blues

Roger Miller

© Starday Music, BMI

I couldn't sleep last night just walked the floor
Don't know how I'll stand this anymore
Lonely all the time since I lost you
I received your invitation to the blues

I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I'll never go through this much again
Thanks for sending something I can't use
I received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine
Thanks to you the sun will never shine
Walked the floor so much wore out my shoes
I received your invitation to the blues

I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I'll never go through this much again
Lonely me I don't know what to do
I received your invitation to the blues

Thanks for sending something I can't use
I received your invitation to the blues

Spanish Dancer

Patti Scialfa

© Rumble Doll Music, ASCAP

Oh mama there's this Spanish dancer
Whose steps I follow when he comes near
The red dress of temptation
Over a long black slip of fear
Will I fall beneath the shadow of some broken cross
My arms emptied and all my treasures lost

Still like that Spanish dancer
I throw my roses down for him
Across these beds of darkness
He opens his arms and gathers them in

Oh mama the bridges were burning
Over a river black and cold
But I walked when love commanded me
Up to the edges of his soul
But I'm still frightened of that dark divide
Will I gain entrance or be denied

Still like that Spanish dancer...

Oh mama when you were a young girl
Did you ever love a man so much
As if he were some fantastic jewel
That you should never be worthy of
But all those illusions strip and fall
And he is just a man after all

Still like that Spanish dancer...

Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Throw my roses down for him

Open Season On My Heart

Rodney Crowell - James Slater

© Gold Songs, ASCAP

Here's to the corners yet to turn
Here's to the bridges yet to burn
Here's to the whole thing blown apart
It's open season on my heart

Days go by like flying bricks
Leave gaping holes too deep to fix
I'd just stay home if I were smart
It's open season on my heart

I can't blame anyone but me
For this restless fool I've come to be
My tired excuses just don't fit
It don't look good from where I sit

I've tried to change without much luck
I reach a point where I get stuck
I hit the streets and the fireworks start
It's open season on my heart

I can't be something that I'm not
I can't give you what I haven't got
I don't know where or why or when
I only know the shape I'm in

So here's to the clown down in the mouth
Here's to the whole thing going south
I'd just stay home if I were smart
It's open season on my heart

I hit the streets and the fireworks start
It's open season on my heart

Chase The Feeling

Kris Kristofferson

© Jody Ray Pub, BMI

It takes one to know one baby I know how you feel
You got your hunger and some problems that are real

And you're dealing with some demons who are driving you insane
And I've seen them drag you screaming down the hallways of your brain

And you got loaded again ain't you handsome when you're high
Nothing matters chase the feeling till you die

Let it right on in there baby let it run your life
Let it run your children off and let it run your wife

Let it take the joy you love and turn it to despair
You knew you knew better baby you just didn't care

And you got loaded again ain't you handsome when you're high...

Blame it on the moonlight baby think of number one
Tangled up in two when you were shining like the sun

With some pretty piece of hunger who was younger than her eyes
On a scale of cosmic thunder it's a wonder you're alive

And you got loaded again ain't you handsome when you're high...

Black Caffeine

Donivan Cowart - Hank DeVito

© Drunk Moneky Music, ASCAP

I like it black just black as night
It keeps me up it keeps me tight
It don't matter the size of the cup
Just as long as you fill it up

With black caffeine keeps me lean
You can hear me scream give me black caffeine

Oh I've got a monkey sittin' on my back
Now wouldn't you know he likes it black
Don't need no cream no nicotine
All that monkey need is the black caffeine

More black caffeine it keeps me lean
You can hear him scream give me black caffeine
Give me black caffeine

I'm sound in body I'm sound in mind
Until it comes to my coffee time
Don't stand in my way don't hold me back
Just keep it hot and keep it black

Good black caffeine it keeps me lean...

The devil said I want your soul
I want your silver I need your gold
Well you can have it anything I've got
But don't let him near my coffee pot

Full of black caffeine it keeps me lean...

More black caffeine it keeps me lean
Can you hear me scream
More black caffeine more black caffeine
Yeah black caffeine

Dreaming My Dreams With You

Allen Reynolds

© Jack Music, BMI

I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
And maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

I won't let it change me not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time

Bluebird Wine

Rodney Crowell

© Jolly Cheeks Music, BMI

Baby brought me in out off the highway
Poured my right good liquor down the sink
Straightened out my crooked ways of thinking
Made it purely pleasure when I drank

And it's all right now I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat I'm drunk on Bluebird Wine

Baby's up and running in the morning
Says she's got a million things to do
While I'm gone says you go get your guitar
Write some pretty song about me and you

And it's all right now I've just hit my stride...

Baby says she'd really love a party
We'll get some friends together feelin' fine
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's Bluebird Wine

And it's all right now I've just hit my stride...

Yes it's all right now I've just hit my stride
Fun it just started and I'm drunk on Bluebird Wine

Back When We Were Beautiful

Matraca Berg

© Longitude Music, BMI

I guess you had to be there she said you had to be
She handed me a yellowed photograph and then said see
This was my greatest love my one and only love and this is me
Back when we were beautiful see

I don't feel very different she said I know it's strange
I guess I've gotten used to these little aches and pains
But I still love to dance you know we used to dance the night away
Back when we were beautiful beautiful yes

I hate it when they say I'm aging gracefully
I fight it every day I guess they never see
I don't like this at all what's happening to me

But I really love my grandkids she said they're sweet to hold
They would have loved their grandpa those awful jokes he told
You know sometimes for a laugh the two of us would act like we were old
Back when we were beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful yes
But I guess you had to be there

Here We Are

Rodney Crowell

© Gold Songs, ASCAP

Did you say that you've been searching for a place you've never been
Well here it is here it is
And you've down there on the bottom and looking out for friends
Here I am here I am

We've both grown tired of running after rainbows
Here we are darlin' here we are

When it feels like you've been drifting and you don't know where you've been
Come on in you can come on in
And if all you've seen are backdoors that lead you out of town
Turn around you can turn around

We've both grown tired of running after rainbows...

We've both grown tired of running from each other
Here we are darlin' here we are here we are here we are

Old Yellow Moon

Lynn Langham - Hank DeVito

© Drunk Monkey Music, ASCAP

We are counting the stars
Out in the night round an old yellow moon

With you right by my side
I got nothing to hide from an old yellow moon

And now as I turn back the years
So little I've learned about heartache and tears

But still I'm making my way
Into the heart of an unknown highway

We are following stars
Way cross the sky round an old yellow moon

But still I'm making my way
Into the heart of an unknown highway

We are counting the stars
Out in the night round an old yellow moon

Out in the night
Round an old yellow moon
