3. _ Even The Skies Are Blue
These are sad times
World gone mad times
Men doing bad times
Lord what is this world coming to
Between religions and wars
Drugs and divorce
Hell it seems like the whole world is fightin'
The sun might be shining
But even the skies are blue
These are hard days
Heavy old hard days
Dead string guitar days
And the devil is picking his tune
When daddy's quit staying
And the mommas quit praying
Even the children quit trying
God must be crying
Cause even the skies are blue
We all know a way
To make a better day
Why isn't anyone trying
The sun might be shining
But even the skies are blue

4. _ My Way To You
Setting fires
And dark desires
And nights I can't recall
I've woke up flying
With the angels, with no one to catch me
When I fall
I'm going down the wrong road
And living by the wrong code
And chasing after dreams that don't come true
Looking for the right signs
And riding on the white lines
Just trying to find my way to you
There's been high times
There's been hard times
And there's been times I couldn't tell
If I'm living a good life
Or living a bad life
Cause I'm always living fast as hell
I'm going down the wrong road
And living by the wrong code
And chasing after dreams that don't come true
Looking for the right signs
And riding on the white lines
Just trying to find my way to you
From an Alabama porch
To a dirty bar room floor
Burning bridges down I've never even crossed
From I when I didn't have a care
To when I didn't have a pray
I never once thought I was lost
Some how I knew
I would find my way to you
Going down the wrong road
Living by the wrong code
Chasing after dreams that don't come true
Looking for the right signs
Riding on the white lines
Just trying to find my way to you
Trying to find my way to you

6. _ Cover Your Eyes
I'm sorry a phone call
Is the best I could do at this time
Your busy
But this on again, off again
Is startin' to mess with my mind
So baby
Cover your eyes
It can't hurt forever
Soon I won't ever cross your mind
Cover your eyes
If don't see me going
There's no way of knowing
When it's time to cry
Cover your eyes
Darlin' if you wake up tomorrow
And everything seems different
If I only exists as a name
On your telephone screen
Well hey listen
Cover your eyes
It can't hurt forever
Soon I won't ever cross your mind
Cover your eyes
If don't see me going
There's no way of knowing
When it's time to cry
Cover your eyes
Cover your eyes
It can't hurt forever
Soon I won't ever cross your mind
Cover your eyes
If don't see me going
There's no way of knowing
When it's time to cry
Cover your eyes

7. _ Set 'Em Up Joe
They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor".
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor"
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' E.T. and I'll play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor".
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor".
All my neon neighbors they like what I play
Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run the needle through "Walking The Floor"
Every night I run a needle through "Walking The Floor".
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' E.T. and I'll play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours.
Just set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor"
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor"
I said set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe, and play "Walking The Floor'.

8. _ Macon
I'm headed back to Macon.
Middle of the Georgia pines.
Gotta keep these big wheels rollin'
To that sweet little thing of mine.
I gotta get back to Macon.
(Love all night)
I gotta get back to Macon.
(Love all night)
I gotta get back to Macon.
Love all night.
Look out Macon, here I come.
Well, my baby says she ain't crazy
'Bout stayin' home all alone.
And the faster I go,
The more I know
About waitin' too damn long.
I gotta get back to Macon.
(Love all night)
Yeah I gotta get back to Macon.
(Love all night)
I gotta get back to Macon.
Love all night.
Look out Macon, here I come.
Well, I may run down to Houston
On Saturday afternoon.
Well, my baby said,
"Boy, you had your fun.
You better get your butt back soon".
You gotta get back to Macon.
Love all night.
You gotta get back to Macon.
Love all night.
I gotta get back to Macon.
Love all night.
Look out Macon, here I come.
Yeah, here I come.
Look out Macon, here I come.

10. _ Thankful For The Rain
You say hello like a long lost friend
And play me like an old violin
And in a day or two you're gone again
And I wonder why I keep playing
I sit and watch the clouds each day
Wondering when they'll turn to gray
And you come and you go
Like a storm across the coast
And expect me to be thankful for the rain
Well I guess I should be thankful for
All the nights of straight downpours
And soaking up every drop I get
'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait
'Til you come blowing back my way
I'm learning to be thankful for the rain
I know when the morning comes
The truth will rise up like the sun
As I'm cleaning up the damage done
There's everything I prayed for
You come and you go
Like a storm across the coast
And expect me to be thankful for the rain

13. _ Dog In The Yard
You don't have to keep me on no chain
I come a running when I hear you call my name
I must not be too hard to train
Took you no time at all
Ah you don't really like none of my friends
You never really know just where I've been
When I slip up on your porch at four AM
Like an old stray dog
[Chorus]
You scratch me and you pet me
And you fight me
And even let me win
Now and then
You scold me you tease me
Then you hold me
And tell me I'm your friend
Making love to you babe
Ain't so hard
You treat me like a
Dog in the yard
Sometimes you kick at me when I'm down
And it drives you crazy when I just lay around
No matter what you do I think I've found
The perfect home
[Chorus]
You treat me like a
Dog in the yard

14. _ That's Why I Write Songs
If you fell in love or threw it away
You're looking for the perfect thing to say
And you're no good with words well that's okay
That's why I write songs
Might make you laugh or make you cry
Might help you make it through a bad goodbye
Cause you've been through it and so have I
That's why I write songs
I remember all the times I felt
Like somebody knows me all to well
It was my life story I was listening to
I don't know about you
But I've buried family and a few good friends
I've held a brand new baby in my hands
It ain't just what I do, it's who I am
And that's why I write songs
I remember how it blew my mind
When I played a song and watched a grown man cry
It was at that moment when I just knew
What I was born to do
You know most songwriters they don't ever get any fame
Most people don't even recognize their names
But chances are, you probably sang along
To Harlen Howard, Bob McDill
Whitey Shafer, or my friend Whispering Bill
All the times they ever gave me chills
That's why I write songs
Don't forget Hank Cochran

16. _ Mental Revenge
Well I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with get's drunk
And loses his job
That the road your travelin' on
Get's dusty rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all
If the curtain should fall
I hope that it falls on you
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
Yeah
Well I hope that the train from Caribou Maine
Runs over your sweet love affair
That you walk the floor from door to door
And you pull out that peroxide hair
You never was my woman
Cause you were never true
So all in all
If the curtain should fall
I hope that it falls on you
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
Yeah

17. _ Heartache
I was born by fire in a cold dark cave
In the age of the dinosaur
When a cave man caught his cave woman lovin'
On the missing link livin' next door
There was cryin' and screamin' and war drums a beatin'
And a wave of violence
None of them folks survived but me
And I been hangin' 'round ever since
'Cause I'm a heartache never see me comin'
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)
I watched you takin' off tonight
And I knew where you were headed to
I saw that sweet young thing you met
At that dirty ol' motel room
Well I'm gnawin' on your pretty little wife
Waitin' up for you at home
You don't even know it but I'm just savin' you for later
When I can getcha all alone
Yeah, I'm a heartache never see me comin'
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)
From Anthony and Cleopatra
Samson and Delilah
To Jackie and JFK
To Elvis and Priscilla
Charles and Diana
I'd say I've had some pretty good days
And you may not believe it
But you and me son
Are 'bout to have some real fun
'Cause I'm comin'
Ah I'm comin'
I'm a heartache never see me comin'
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)
I'm a heartache (heartache)
I'm a heartache (heartache)
