1. _ Baby, You Look Good To Me Tonight
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the spirit album, and has also been released on the country classics album.
I've been out on this highway now
Five days in a row
My words all run together
My feet are movin' slow
I've got to stop and eat
While it's still light
There's a local angel sitting on my right
Do you believe in love at first sight
Baby, you look good to me tonight
I'm ordinarily very shy
And i'd be polite if i had time
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Tomorrow, i'll be good and gone
Please don't make me wait that long
Baby, you look good to me tonight

I guess growing isn't hard to do
Just stand against the wall

Today i'm six feet tall
But knowing who to listen to
Is something else again
Words just whistle

4. _ Hitchhiker
This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.
If your drivin' down the road and you come across an old man
Holdin' out his thumb in the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn't matter
It's his eyes that tell where he's been
If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger
He might have some company to lend
Why don't you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen
I'm an old hitchhiker
The highway is the only home i know
Where you're headed i don't mind
I ain't been there in some time
And it's just exactly where i want to go
I can tell you how i started in the circus as a barker
Drawin' people in from far and wide
They never did regret the dollar that it cost

5. _ In The Grand Way
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on spirit album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
In the grand way she loves me
The way she holds me close to rest with me
And to know she is my life to me
My empty days are done
My runnin' days are run
And for the first time i love the morning
Burning sundown, coloured autumn trees
Mountain rivers, country livers put my mind at ease
And to realise such perfect harmonies
I'm standin' in the dawn
Of a new day comin' on
And i'm looking for no tomorrow
I can still hear the lonely sound
The engines of a midnight freight train northward bound
And to feel my life slowly losing ground
I never quite understood
And it seems like i've just seen dreaming

6. _ Eli's Song
This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Born in the month of june
No silver spoon to help you out
Your mother had you naturally
Naturally's the way you came out
You know your your own mind
And you show it to me
Give me the high sign
When you want to be free
And open up my eyes
To the wonders that you see
See the airplane fly
See the trees rush by
Be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
And don't you have a worry in the world
For the love that's been given you
Is the one thing time can't erase
And evryday it's growin'
Like the knowin' smile upon your face
You're startin' out strong
You get a kick out of life
You like to sing songs
Be in the spotlight
And when everybody's watchin' you
You shine so bright
See the airplane fly
See the trees rush by
Be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
And don't you have a worry in the world
You know your your own mind
And you show it to me
Give me the high sign
When you want to be free
And open up my eyes
To the wonders that you see
See the airplane fly
See the trees rush by
Be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
And don't you have a worry in the world

E wragell mountain song.
Sunday and it's rainin' in alaska
Seven days, i haven't seen the sun
Flyin' bush, flyin' low along the shore lune
Doin' everything i can to make it home
I can't wait to see the wrangle mountain
I can't wait to do what i will do
Honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
When i can't wait to get back home to you
Three years from the war and settled down now
I did my time and served my country well
In the freedom i defended i fly beneath the north star
And i just don't know a better way to feel
I can't wait to see the wrangle mountain
I can't wait to do what i will do
Honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
When i can't wait to get back home to you
It's a quiet life out here among the mountains
In a cabin that was built with these two hands
Mccarthey lies asleep beside the glacier
It's colder now, winter's in the air
If you think they're wild it's just because they can't be broken
It's a strong and gentle people living there
I can't wait to see the wrangle mountain
I can't wait to do what i will do
Honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
When i can't wait to get back home to you

9. _ Like A Sad Song
usually in the morning
I'm filled with sweet belonging
And everything is beautiful to see
Even when it's raining
The sound of heaven singing
Is simply joyful music to me
Sometimes i feel like a sad song
Like i'm all alone without you
So many different places
A million smiling faces
Life is so incredible to me
Especially to be near you
And how it is to touch you
Oh, paradise was made for you and me
Sometimes i feel like a sad song
Like i'm all alone without you
I know that life goes on just perfectly
Everything is just the way that it should be
Still there are times when my heart feel like breaking
And anywhere is where i'd rather be
Oh, and in the nighttime
I know that it's the right time
To hold you close and tell you i love you so
To have someone to share with
And someone i can care with
And that is why i wanted you to know
Sometimes i feel like a sad song
Like i'm all alone without you
Without you.

10. _ Pegasus
This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin
A kid knows what he wants to be before he's nine or ten
Cowboys, clowns, and men of war and someone else's friend
But nine grows into big boys' pants and then to scars and pain
Twenty's fast and hard as nails but doesn't come again
There's days to fall and days to rise and days for making haste
Days for seeking out yourself but no days you can waste
Nighttimes filled with love so good it aches to rest it down
Endless hallways dark with sleep and rivers dark with sound
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin
Children climbing on my arms and pigeons on my head
Get thee up my little man and dream a dream instead
Dream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the night
Dream until the morning's gone and turned the dark to light
Then come and get your daddy if he hasn't blown away
Rock him in your children's hands and help him find his way
Take him to your hiding place and let him come inside
He'll never tell your secret, cross my heart and hope to die
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin

11. _ Old Folks
the old folks don't talk much
They talk so slowly when they do
They are rich they are poor
Their illusions are gone
They share one heart for to
Their homes all smell of tyme
Of old photographs
And an old fashioned song
Though you may live in town
You live so far away
When you've lived to long
Have they laughed to much
Do their dry voices crack
Talking of things gone by
Have they cried to much
A tear or two still always seems
To cloud the eye
They tremble as they watch the old silver clock
When day is through
Tick tock oh so slow
It says yes it says no
It says i wait for you
The old folks dream no more
Their books have gone to sleep
The piano's out of tune
The little cat is dead
And no more do they sing on a sunday afternoon
The old folks move no more
Their world become to small
Their bodies feel like lead
They might look out a window
Or else sit it a chair
Or else they stay in bed
And if they still go out
Arm and arm, arm and arm
In the mornings chill
Its to have a good cry
To say their last goodbye
To one whose older still
And then they go home
To the old silver clock
When day is through
Tick tock so so slow
It says yes it says no
It says i wait for you
The old folks never die
They just put down their heads
And go to sleep one day
They will hold each others hands
Like children in the dark
But one will get lost anyway
And the other will remain
Just sitting in a room
Which makes no sound
It doesn't matter now
The song has died away
And echo's all around
You'll see them as they walk
Through the sun filled parks
Where children run and play
It hurst to much to smile
It hurts so much
But life goes on for still another day
As they try to escape the old silver clock
When day is through
Tick tock oh so slow
It says yes it says no
It says i wait for you
The old old silver clock
Thats hanging on the wall
That waits for us all

12. _ The Game Is Over
This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Time, there was a time
You could talk to me without speaking
You would look at me and i'd know
All there was to know
Days, i think of you
And remember the lies we told
In the night, the love we knew
The things we shared when our hearts were beating together
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
Gone, the days are gone now
Days, that seem so wrong now
Life, won't be the same
Without you to hold again in my arms
To ease the pain and remember
When our love was a reason for living
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
The game is over

13. _ Eleanor Rigby
This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father mckenzie, writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there's nobody there, what does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor rigby died in the church and was buried
Along with her name
Nobody came
Father mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

15. _ The Wings That Fly Us Home
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the spirit album. it also appears on the country classics album.
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine
Did i speak to you one morning on some distant world away
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
Were we broken by the waters, did i lie you in the sun
I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow
I dreamed i was a mountain in the wind
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
I awoke with this: a flower in my hand
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
It's the fire and the wings that fly us home
Fly us home, fly us home

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the whose garden was this? album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Whose garden was this
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers
I've seen pictures of flowers
And i'd love to have smelled one
Whose river was this
You say it ran freely
Blue was it's colour
And i've seen blue in some pictures
And i'd love to have been there
Tell me again, i need to know
The forest had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue
And birds really flew
Can you swear that it's true
Whose grey sky was this
Or was it a blue one
You say they were breezes
I've heard records of breezes
And i'd love to have felt one
Tell me again, i need to know
The forest had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue
And birds really flew
Can you swear that it's true
Whose garden was this
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers
I've seen pictures of flowers
And i'd love to have smelled one
Tell me again, i need to know
Tell me again, i need to know
Tell me again, i need to know

19. _ San Antonio Rose
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the spirit album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old san antone
Where in dreams i live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there i found beside the alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendour
Hear only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of san antone
Lips so sweet and tender
Like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words i know
Still live in my heart
For the moonlit pass by the alamo
And rose, my rose of san antone
Words and music by bob wills
