Sometimes I Dream

Merle Haggard - Jenessa Haggard

© Tree Pub, BMI

There's no magic way for me to get over you
There's not much I can say not a thing left to do
Seldom I laugh and seldom I ever cry
But there's times when I drink too much and times when I lie

Sometimes I hate myself and wish I could scream
Sometimes I give up on love but sometimes I dream

Sometimes I dream looking out through my window
Speeding through the night in a long limousine
There's a curse on my heart and I'll never love again
Forever a lonely man but sometimes I dream

Sometimes I dream looking out through my window
Speeding through the night in a long limousine
There's a curse on my heart and I'll never love again
Forever a lonely man but sometimes I dream

When It Rains It Pours

John Carter

© Inorbit Music, BMI

I'm all alone and I'm feelin' blue wishin' you were here with me
So I could say to you honey I love you it's 2 a.m. and I cannot sleep
Cause you are so very very far from me and it hurts me to be alone

Now you are the kind that loves to hear
Sweet love words whispered in your ear
But I'm a silent man I don't know the meaning
The rain is sprinklin' outside my door
And I'm wonderin' when it will begin to pour
Like my life when it rains it pours

When it rains it pours lightnin' and thunder
And it all makes me wonder when will it end
When it rains it pours and it all seems so sad
Before it's over it will wash away all I had
Yeah the pour is over and it's washed away all I had

Me And Crippled Soldiers

Merle Haggard

© Blue Book Music, BMI

Now that it's alright to burn the stars and stripes
Yes, nobody really needs old Uncle Sam
Might as well burn the bill of rights as well
And let our country go straight to hell
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms
And be proud to hear old glories on the ground
Somebody said they'd take us without firing a shot
I don't know if they will or not
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

Has the holocaust been so long is Hitler really gone
As we burn our only cause for Vietnam
There's the mom who lost her son
Is this the freedom that we won
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

I've been known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won to keep old glory waving
Today they ruled to burn old glory down
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

Under The Bridge

Merle Haggard - Theresa Lane

© Tree Pub, BMI

I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad
After twenty years they just put me on the side
Now I'm hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat
And nothin' but an empty dream to ride

But under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend that I'm a king and this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe

Hey the doors are always open to any old weary traveler
And you'll find some great grub feedin' here below
Any old bridge can be a palace, call it what you want to
It's a place to be when you got no place to go

Under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend I'm a king this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe
Hey under the bridge making believe

Driftwood

Merle Haggard

© Blue Book Music, BMI

I'm just driftwood
Drifting with the winds that blow across the sky
I can't always be here with you babe
I'm just driftwood drifting by

Our lives came together
Somehow we came to mingle for a while
Like two colors of the rainbow
We blended well together for a while

But I won't ever anchor down
The Lord above has numbered all my days
I'm just driftwood
And I think it's time I drifted on aways

I'm just driftwood...

Never No Mo' Blues

Jimmie Rodgers - Elsie McWilliams

© Peer Int, BMI

I'm just as blue as I can be
Since Susie said goodbye to me
My life is a failure I see
And she won't be my gal
No mo' no mo' no mo' no mo' no mo'

I'll pack my things in a grip
Take me a long ocean trip
Out on a great big steam ship
She'll never see her daddy
No mo' no mo' no mo'

Still I hate to say farewell
To my mammy and my sister Lil
They're sure gonna cry
When I tell that I ain't comin' home
No mo' no mo' no mo'

I may be sorry someday
That I leave here and go away
But they need not ask me stay
For I'll never change my mind
No mo' no mo' no mo'

Now whether I'm right or wrong
I'm gonna be gone before long
And then I'll hush this crazy song
And I never will sing
No mo' no mo' no mo'
