1. _ Johnson's Love
(dwight yoakam)
She had left him lost and broken like no other had before
And now his heart was just a token of the pain it had endured
And his memories were clouded with all the hurtful things she'd said
Yes, for all intent and purpose he might just as well been dead
Chorus:
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here mr. johnson's love lives on
He seemed far away and distant with that cold and silent stare
Never moving, never speaking and just barely breathing air
No one really knew her reason and who can judge her right or wrong
The only true and solemn fact is, the main we'd known was all but gone
Chorus:
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here mr. johnson's love lives on
Sissy thompson said she'd seen him late that night on shelby road
About a mile from there they found him it seems he'd died out in the snow
I hear'd the preacher at the service say fro love he's finally free
But i say love, it knows no season it haunts the soul eternally
Chorus:
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
Yeah, his body died some years ago
But around here mr. johnson's love lives on
Yes, his body died some years ago
But around here mr. johnson's love lives on

2. _ Smoke Along The Track
(alan rose, don helms)
One day the train was passing, i caught it comin' by
To look this old world over, under god's blue sky
My darlin' stood there weepin' as i was lookin' back
I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when i get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin', it helps me when i'm blue
I get the urge to travel, that's all i want to do
I know i just can't settle down because i like to roam
And when i hear that whistle blow i gotta move along
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when i get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track
I know my baby loves me, i love my baby too
But she don't understand me when i'm feelin' blue
And when i hear that whistle blow i hurry home to pack
And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track
It's callin' me
Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way
I'll always be
Now when i get this feelin'
Don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin'
In the smoke along the track

Little sister don't you, little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice

4. _ This Drinkin' Will Kill Me
(dwight yoakam)
They say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, oh lord, it might be true
If i stop i'll just die from your leavin'
So either way that i go, it's 'cause of you
Chorus:
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, i think i'll hit the throttle
I don't care how the preacher might preach me
About the evils of being drunk with wine
I don't care how the doctor might warn me
'cause since you left, it's just a matter of time
Chorus:
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, i think i'll hit the throttle
I don't care that my friends have all left me
'cause they swear that i have gone insane
And i don't care anymore about livin'
Without you, just the grave can ease the pain
Chorus:
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, i think i'll hit the throttle
Yeah, they say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, oh lord, it might be true
If i stop i'll just die from your leavin'
So either way that i go, it's 'cause of you
Yeah, either way that i go, it's 'cause of you
Oh, anyway that i go, it's 'cause of you

Chorus:
Please, please baby, baby come back home
'cause it's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back i promise i'll be good

Sweetheart, i plead guilty, darlin' i'll take all the blame

6. _ Little Ways
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
To look at you and me, no one would ever know
The pain that i've endured 'cause i won't let it show
My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew
The truth about how i am just your lovesick fool
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue
But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you
There've been rumors of the truth but i've kept it quiet
'cause i'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
Yeah your little ways can knock me to the ground

7. _ 1,000 Miles
(dwight yoakam)
Runway four, flight 209
Teardrop falls, we start to climb
This window seat proved a poor choice
It shows the dream that's been destroyed
A little baby starts to cry
Hey, i would too, if not for pride
I owe so much to pride, it's true
It brought an end to me and you
Chorus:
But if i could, i'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
I hear the engines, watch the clouds
The whole damn world looks distant now
But i can't seem to put no space
Between my cold heart and your sweet face
Across the aisle they're holding hands
Revealing brand new wedding bands
But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust
Now my life has turned to dust
Chorus:
But if i could, i'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
All this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery

8. _ Throughout All Time
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
I'll still see you walking silently
Through the shadows in my mind
A vision of your sweet blue eyes
Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night
You still haunt the deepness of my memories
I guess you will throughout all time
Little girl i still remember
The very dress you wore on that day
It was so soft, a shade of violet, lord
How it took my breath away
As the sunshine of the morning
Broke across your golden hair
How i wished to hold you tightly, lord
But i was shy and did not dare
Chorus:
I'll still see you walking silently
Through the shadows in my mind
A vision of your sweet blue eyes
Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night
You still haunt the deepness of my memories
I guess you will throughout all time
Many nights i've sat and wondered
If you might be somebody's wife
But if you're not, i'd long to see you
If just to tell you how i've pined
I've been known to ask a stranger
That i thought might just pass your way
If they would tell you of these feelings
That we might meet again someday
Chorus:
I'll still see you walking silently
Through the shadows in my mind
A vision of your sweet blue eyes
Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night
You still haunt the deepness of my memories
I guess you will throughout all time
I guess you will throughout all time

Chorus:
Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms sweet darlin' and stay

Always late with your kisses

10. _ Readin', Rightin', Route 23
Readin', (dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Have you ever been down kentucky-way
Say south of prestonburg
Have you ever been up in a holler
Have you ever heard
A mountain man cough his life away
From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines, those dark mines
If you had you might just understand
The reason that they left is all behind
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford
They thought readin', rightin', route 23
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on friday night
Pull up in a holler about 2 a.m. and see a light still shinin' bright
Those mountain folks sat up that late
Just to hold those little grandkids in their arms, in their arms
And i'm proud to say that i've been blessed
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm
Chorus:
They learned readin', rightin', route 23
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford
They thought readin', rightin', route 23
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
They didn't know that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway, leads you to a world of misery
