A Soft Place To Fall

Gwil Owen - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Daylight has found me here again
You can ask me anything but where I've been
Things that used to matter seem so small
When you're looking for a soft place to fall

Don't misunderstand me baby please
I didn't mean to bring back memories
You should know the reason why I called
I was looking for a soft place to fall

Looking for a soft place nothing more than a small taste
Of a love that ended long ago
Looking for a place to hide a warm bed on a cold night
I didn't mean to hurt you no no no
[ fiddle ]
Looking out your window at the dawn
Baby when you wake up I'll be gone
You're the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall

You're the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall

Long Black Train

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

I've been walkin' these mean streets hard concrete beneath my feet
Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd
The city's like a Christmas tree a light for every dreamer's dream
But it seems mine has finally burned out

Long black train take me home
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong
Long black train take me home

I should've known I was mistaken when I thought that I'd be makin'
A name for myself in Babylon
Though I've tried to do my best the suit and ties are not impressed
So with what's left of my pride I'll carry on

Long black train take me home...
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I know I'm licked but it's hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back

Long black train take me home...
Long black train take me home

Alabama Song

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Are you going to Alabama where the trees grow tall and green
I'd like to see the Gulf of Mexico if you're going won't you take me

Are you going to Alabama where the skies shine bright and blue
I'd like to see the old Tombigbee if you're going I want to go with you

Are you going to Alabama where the folks say how do you do
I'd like to see those big ol' cotton fields if you're going I'm going too

I'm ready to run baby through the sweet southern pines
Lie down in a bed of camellias and watch the sun shine
[ steel - guitar ]
If you're going to Alabama I could use a change of view
But if you're going to California that's alright any place will do
Well I guess I just wanna go with you

Set You Free

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

I found your bag this morning did you pack it by yourself
If you would've asked me I'd have given you some help
I hate to disappoint you but I had a hunch
You would soon be leaving so I beat you to the punch

I'll tell you a secret baby I let go first
If I was still holding on then maybe I'd feel worse
But I seen this day coming so it don't bother me
I've already set you free
[ guitar ]
I'm glad you're finally going but boy you took your time
I'd begun to wonder if you had changed your mind
So you don't have to sneak out you're not going to let me down
That's already happened I'm over it by now

I'll tell you a secret baby, I let go first...
I've already set you free

Easier To Forget

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

I've heard it said life leaves you memories that are precious
If that's true it hasn't left me any yet
There are none that I've thought of I can cherish
For me it's easier to forget

Looking back is not the way to mend my heartache
Remembering only brings me regret
When I dig up the past I find a love that didn't last
So for me it's easier to forget
[ fiddle ]
I'd hate to think these memories I've been given
Are the only ones I'm ever gonna get
Cause it hurts if I try to relieve 'em
For me it's easier to forget

Looking back is not the way to mend my heartache...
For me it's easier to forget

The Hardest Part

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Children say that words will never harm you
Only sticks and stones will make you cry
They'll grow up one day and learn the real truth
When the one they love says goodbye

The hardest part of living is loving
Cause loving turns to leaving every time
And the hardest part of leaving is living
Life is hard when love is so unkind
Life is hard when love is so unkind
[ mandolin - fiddle ]
I don't trust old sayings any longer
Most are only decorated lies
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
And out of sight don't mean out of mind

The hardest part of living is loving...

Is It Worth It

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Is it worth it you gotta wonder
No sane person would say it was
It's for certain we're going under
Things ain't working between the two of us

Is it worth it to go on trying
We keep rehearsing and gettin' worse
Let's close the curtain this act's dying
We did our version it didn't work

Is it worth the price we are paying
Is it worth the damage being done
Is it worth the both of us staying
If you think so then you're the only one

Is it worth it what are we doing
Let's not be martyrs for the sake of love
This is a burden of our own choosing
It'd be smarter if we gave up

Send Down An Angel

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

It's nearly three a.m. and still no sight of him
When it comes to love I'm in the dark
Lord I don't understand why I stand by my man
All he's ever done is break my heart

Won't you send down an angel from the blue
To show me the righteous thing to do
Oh I'm calling out to you
Send down an angel to get me through

I'm not the praying kind
But it can't hurt to try
I can't find the answer by myself
I need help

Won't you send down an angel from the blue...

I Ain't The One

Jessi Colter

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

with Lonesome Bob

You're lookin' for someone who's got it all to give
You're lookin' for someone who won't care how you live
You're lookin' for someone who won't need a love from you
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one

Lookin' for someone sry your tears when you cry
Lookin' for someone turn his back each time you lie
You lookin' for someone who walk on when you walk by
But 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 who lets you do what you want to
I ain't the one who sits still let's you be untrue
I ain't the one who know I am lovin' you no matter what you do
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one

I just keep lookin' further down the road
Try to find yourself someone who likes walkin' along
Someone you play with and leave you 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

Moonshiner

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whiskey and beers
I go to some hollow and put up my stilt
I'll make you one gallon for two dollar bill

I go to some grocery and drink with my friends
No women to follow to see what I spent
God bless those women I wish they were mine
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine

I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
God bless those moonshiners, I wish they were mine
Their breath smells as sweet as the good ol' moonshine

I might go to heaven I might go to hell
Till I meet my maker don't know where I'll
It feels like stirred whiskey I'll live in the sky
High upon the mountain with some sweet moonshine

Tumbling Down

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

What happened to the world we painted
The masterpiece of me and you
Our work of art has all but failed
Nothing's here except the blues

Love's crumbling love's tumbling down
Love's crumbling love's tumbling down

It was a stroke of genius
Yeah just as pretty as you please
But all that's left between us
Is hanging on what used to be

Love's crumbling love's tumbling down...

Looking at it from a distance
I still can't believe my eyes
It's sad to have to witness
What we made on all those nights
Crumbling down tumbling down

Love's crumbling love's tumbling down...
Love's crumbling love's tumbling down...

Hey Jezebel

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Don't you look pretty dressed to the nines
Comfortably sitting on your gold mine
Blood red and blonde lipstick and curls
A high heeled Don Juan come to mess up my world

All of the ladies are watching their backs
The boys thinking maybe they might stand a chance
Bet every bar you walk in's the same
They don't know who you are but they sure know your name

Hey Jezebel leave mine alone
Ain't no bombshell wrecking my home
He's all I got he's all I want
Jezebel find someone else leave mine alone

Why'd you come calling on this side of town
A woman who's fallen and keeps going down
I won't compete with your dirty work
So get back to the street before you get hurt

Hey Jezebel leave mine alone...

This southern belle is tough as nails
Leave mine alone

Steal The Sun

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

If the moon could conceal how it feels when it shines
And the stars could disguise the beauty the skies reveal
Then the fire I try to hide in my heart
Would remain out of sight here with you in the dark

Let's steal the sun before tomorrow comes
Daybreak might take this all away
Let's be thieves and rob the east of morning's light
Let's steal the sun before it steals tonight

Oh how I've missed being kissed tenderly
Lips so soft and sweet touching my cheek like this
What else can I do but choose to give in
The only way I can lose is if this feeling ends

Let's steal the sun before tomorrow comes...

Dying Breed

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

I take a pint of whiskey and crack open its lid
I drink the bottle empty just like my poor daddy did

I take after my family my fate's the blood in me
No one grows old in this household we are a dying breed

I take a red and blue one from my mama's purse
I wash 'em down with homemade wine to see what kicks in first

I take after my family my fate's the blood in me...

I take another needle black powder and a spoon
I set my sights on heaven and shoot for the moon

I take after my family my fate's the blood in me...

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
And you make the sun want to shine

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

Storms never last do they baby...
Storms never last do they baby...

Don't Cry No Tears

Neil Young

© Silver Fiddle Music, ASCAP

Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me
Cause when all the water's gone the feeling lingers on
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me

Well I wonder who's with her tonight
And I wonder who's holding her tight
But there's nothing I can say to make him go away
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me

There's nothing I can say to make him go away
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me

Let Go

Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Sometimes in the mornings I wake up devastated that you're gone
It drives me kinda crazy and I tell myself it's been a little long
To still be expecting you to call me up on the phone
I don't like holding on but I can't let go

Sometimes a photograph of you will take my breath away
I don't think that time's a healer no matter what folks say
How can years fly by so fast and breaks in a heart mend so slow
I don't like holding on but I can't let go

Sometimes I'm in a room full of people when old lonely sits by me
And it makes me sad to realize that unlike you he won't ever leave
I wish I had some kind of pill to take this feeling from my bones
I don't like holding on but I can't let go

I'll Break Before I Bend

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

It wears on my patience when I talk to those deejays
At the corporation station they slather on false praise
Even though I'm slow I know no radio will give my record spins
Lean on me all you want to I'll break before I bend

Way up in those ivory towers with gold records on the walls
All the big wigs got the power but they ain't got the balls
The desk bound clowns that run this town
Have watered down the sound just like their gin
Lean on me all you want to I'll break before I bend

Hell yeah I'd love to make it but I suck at playing games
I'd rather starve than fake it for a little taste of fame
It's wrong to be a doggone pawn singing songs that make
You yawn for payments on a long Mercedes Benz
Lean on me all you want to I'll break before I bend

Is Heaven Good Enough For You

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Heard the preacher at the service declare you'd gone home that day
To meet the Maker and his servants and take a rest amidst his grace
He said now that you're in heaven your trials on earth are through
But I didn't hear him mention if heaven's good enough for you

He claimed you feel no more sorrow since you're free from all life's fears
But can the blessed on God's mountain love you more than I down here
I was raised not to question promises the Bible makes
But how could the Almighty make such a terrible mistake

Did the Lord's illumination shine upon you from his throne
When he witnessed my sweet angel suffer on the long road home
If there's really no more teardrops and the streets are paved with gold
Send me down some reassurance I don't believe what I've been told
[ steel ]
If there's really no more teardrops and the streets are paved with gold
Send me down some reassurance I don't believe what I've been told
If there really is a kingdom where you start your life anew
Won't you please somehow convince me that heaven's good enough for you
