Easy From Now On

Carlene Carter - Susanna Clark

© Song Of Cash, ASCAP

There he goes gone again
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was like a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet

It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy it's gonna be easy from now on
[ instrumental ]
Raw as a whip but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
When the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry bout me I've got a wild card up my sleeve

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy it's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on

Two More Bottles Of Wine

Delbert McClinton

© ABC/Dunhill Music, BMI

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might've set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublein' mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight he just up and put me down
Well ain't gonna let it bother me today
I've been a workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Well I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I've been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow
Well I'd be in the sun all day but I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in West LA
But it's all right cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
[ instrumental ]
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know...

Yes it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

To Daddy

Dolly Parton

© Owepar Pub, BMI

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
If she did she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did she never did say so to daddy

The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
If she did she never did say so to daddy

He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home
If she did she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
If she did she never did say so to daddy

Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she don't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did she never did say so to daddy

One morning we awoke just to find a note
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
And as we began to read it our ears could not believe it
The words she had written there to daddy

She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
I have needed you so long without you things can't keep holdin' on
She never meant to come back home but she did she never did say so to daddy
Goodbye daddy

My Songbird

Jesse Winchester

© Fourth Floor Music, ASCAP

Songbird in a golden cage she'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm what harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her life long

My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself to let my songbird go
I just can't let her go

Oh Lord when your jeweler's eye peers into my soul
Oh Lord I am overcome with shame
Take me Lord and purify heal me with a word
Lord I beg a gift I dare not claim

My songbird wants her freedom...

Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

Rodney Crowell - Donivan Cowart

© Jolly Cheeks Music, ASCAP

Mary took to running with a travelin' man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case so broken hearted
She say momma I got to go I gotta get outta here
I gotta get out of town I'm tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows but the highway goes on forever
That ol' highway rolls on forever

Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelin' man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
She say daughter let me tell you bout the travelin' kind
Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
He'll be long gone before you know it
When it felt good never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches

She say never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

She say never have I known it when it felt so good...

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever
There ain't no way to stop the water

Defying Gravity (Executioner's Song)

Jesse Winchester

© Fourth Floor Music, ASCAP

I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the day that I do
I jump off and smile back at you

I don't even know where we are
But they tell us we're circling a star
Well I'll take their word I don't know
But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so
[ instrumental ]
I'm ridin' a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the high must lay low so
When I do fall I'll be glad to go

I Ain't Living Long Like This

Rodney Crowell

© Jolly Cheeks Music, ASCAP

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezin' on a steelrail truck
They got 'em all in the jailhouse ain't they baby
I ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off of wayside drive son of a carhop in some old night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death all I remember was a drunk man's breath
I ain't living long like this oh I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby I ain't living long like this
Can't living long like this can I baby
[ instrumental ]
You live for angel she's a roadhouse queen make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I ain't living long like this I can't live at all like this can I baby
You know the story bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse ain't they baby I ain't living long like this
Can't living long like this can I baby can't living long like this
[ instrumental ]

One Paper Kid

Walter Cowart

© Drunk Monkey Music, ASCAP

Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb
Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind
The distance was short so light it again
It don't take no time to get where I am

But one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit scared and a little bit green
And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream
So he sat with his coffee in a blue taxes wind
And he wrote on a rock the one paper kid is rollin' again
[ instrumental ]
Driver was drunk or he just didn't see
The future is there it'll happen to me
And all the time that he wasted was his once again
It never gets long to get where you've been

Broken hearts scattered all over the past
Old glad memories trying to last
Whiskey and women and growing up fast
Fussing and loving and itching like grass

Hell that one paper kid wadn't really so mean
Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream
No Camels no coffee no cold morning winds
It was wrote on a rock the one paper kid is rollin' again
The one paper kid is rollin' again

Green Rolling Hills

Utah Phillips

© On Strike Music, BMI

Oh the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here
They'll keep me and never let me go

My daddy said don't ever be a miner
For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own
Cause the hard times everywhere I can't find a dime to spare
These are the worst times I've ever known

But the green rolling hills of West Virginia...
[ instrumental ]
So I'll move away into some crowded city
In some northern factory town you'll find me here
Though I'll leave the past behind I'll never change my mind
These troubled times are more than I can bear

But the green rolling hills of West Virginia...
[ instrumental ]
But someday I'll go back to West Virginia
To the green rolling hills I love so well
Yes someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong
These troubled times will follow me no more
Yes someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong
These troubled times will follow me no more

Burn That Candle

Winfield Scott

© Roosevelt Music, BMI

Keep that candle burnin' bright mama
I'll be kind of late tonight mama
There's a yellow moon above me mama
Shinin' on the one I love mama

Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle honey light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

While that candle's shinin' high mama
I'll be with my sugar pie mama
We'll be coming home you know and mama
Looking for that candle glowin' mama

Burn that candle night and day...
[ instrumental ]
After we have had the weddin' mama
To that candle we'll be headin' mama
So before we're winin' and dinin' mama
Keep that candle light a shinin' mama

Burn that candle night and day...
Burn that candle night and day...
