Wind And Rain

Gib Guilbeau - Gene Parsons

Sitting inside looking out at the rain
Thinking the world and I have gone insane
Wondering if I'll ever be here again
Picking and singing for nobody
Wishing I was home sweet home again

If I could ride that cloud that just flew by my window
And drift with the wind out over the sea
And fall with the rain into the arms of my darling
Soothing all this misery driving the devil from me

But the rain won't stop
And there's no way to heaven
No telling how long it will be
And the people that hear me
Can't know what I'm feeling
What the wind and the rain telling me
What the wind and the rain telling me

Hear I am on the road it's been a year more in traveling
Waking up to sounds of these cities and their sins
Can't sleep from the pain of the slow dying people
Picking and singing for nobody
Wishing I was home again sweet home again

Why Baby Why

George Jones - Darrell Edwards

Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
Make me cry baby
I can't live without ya till the day that I die
Tell me why baby why baby why baby why

Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like before when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels
Leavin' me home with a handful of bills

It's too late to leave you and I know it's true
There ain't no living with you so what'll I do?
I'm going honky tonkin' get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man

Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
Make me cry baby
I can't live without ya till the day that I die
Tell me why baby why baby why baby why

Well I don't know but I've heard say
Every little dog's gonna have his day
You better listen to me don't ya dare forget
Cause you ain't just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you way back then
It's too late to leave you but I still get sore
When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door

Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
Make me cry baby
I can't live without ya till the day that I die

Dim Lights Thick Smoke (And Loud Loud Music)

Joe Maphis - Max Fidler - Rose Lee Maphis

© Comet Music, BMI

A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man

A drinkin' and dancin' to a honky tonk band
Is the only kind of life you'LL ever understand
Go on and have your fun you think you've played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man

You Left The Water Running

Dan Penn - Oscar Frank - Rick Hall

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

You turned off the life and love
And left with another guy
You turned off all of your love from me
But you forgot to turn off the cry
You forgot to turn off the cry

You pull the shades a way down low
You disconnect the telephone
Oh baby but these tears a running from my eyes
You can't turn 'em off any no
No you can't turn 'em off any no

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

You locked the door left my heart outside
And then you threw the key away
But you'll regret and you'll be upset
When you get your water bill to pay
When you get your water bill to pay

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

Building Fires

Dan Penn - Johnny Christopher - Jim Dickinson

Children be careful when playing with matches
Everything's dry and ready to burn Lord Lord
The neighbors are cooking out in the backyard
Just two doors down ain't nobody home (they're all busy)

Building fires strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires

Now smoking in bed can sure burn your house down
Specially if you're there with somebody's wife
Temptation knocks and most people answers
Just neighborly lovers unsatisfied

Building fires strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires

One two three stop it's time to change partners
You go get your good thing and I'll go get mine
Temptation knocks and most people answers
Just neighborly lovers yearning for more and more

Building fires strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires

We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires

Sweet Desert Childhood

Gene Parsons

It was off the desert road
Fourteen miles up in the canyon I was born
Where the rocks were piled up high
And when the sun went down
They looked like big old monsters

You could yell out your whole name
And the echo would come back crystal clear
And the silence was so deafening
I could hear it like thunder in my ears
I still taste the sweet cool water
As it bubbled out to quench the burning sand

And the cottonwoods stood trembling
As the desert wind blew soft across the land
Somewhere far away a coyote
Called out his mournful ghostly song
And I knew that very soon
Sweet desert childhood would be gone

Can a man ever go back home again
Can a man ever live that way again
The old windmill made a groan
As it turned around to face the cold of the night
The proof of all existence
Crackled warm in the flickering firelight

And the stars were so perfect
That I wondered might this all just be a dream
Could this all alone place really be as magic as it seems
Can a man ever go back home again
Can a man ever live that way again
