1. _ Wrong Side of Memphis
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac
[Chorus]
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
They ain't gotta single thing to lose
I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
Yes,
[Chorus]
Whoa,
(I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis)
Yeah,
(I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis)
I got the cowboy boots, and a rhinestone suit
(I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis)
Oh yeah,
Full tank of gas and a 69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

2. _ Thinkin' About You
I'm not quite sure what's going on
But all day through, and all night long
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' about you
The look in your eyes
When you smile that way
The sound of your voice
Saying my name
I've been thinking about you
Just keep thinking about you
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love
If you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train of thought ain't about to jump
The track that it's on
In the back of my mind
There's a secret place
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face
That I've been thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you
Think about you
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love
Well if you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train of thought ain't about to jump
The track that it's on
I know it's crazy
Calling you this late
When the only thing I wanted to say
Is I've been thinkin' about you
Yeah, just keep thinkin' about you
Oh, I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh, I'm always thinkin' about you
And I do love thinkin' about you
Yeah

3. _ Walkaway Joe
Mama told her baby girl take it real slow
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He's waiting in the car
Mama said girl you won't get far
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could've only seen
That fate's got cards that it don't want to show, and
[Chorus]
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Now just a little while into Abilene
He pulls into a station and he robs it clean
She's waiting in the car, oh, underneath the Texaco star
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way he his
She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning
So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go, 'cause
[Chorus]
Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arms
But she'll just keep reaching on
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known
That boy's just a walk away Joe
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
But it was just another lesson in life
That boy was a walkaway Joe
Mmm yeah,
All he was was a walkaway Joe
Oh,
(Walkaway Joe)
He was a walkaway Joe
Mmm

4. _ Till I Get It Right
I'll just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird
Hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough
I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
My door to love has opened out
More times than in
And I'm either fool or wise enough
To open it again'
'Cause I'll never know what's beyond the mountain
Till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
If practice makes perfect, then I'm near about as perfect
As I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right

5. _ You Don't Have to Move That Mountain
You don't have to move that mountain
Just help me Lord to climb it
You don't have to move that stumblin' block
Just show me the way around it
We must climb a great high mountain
To reach God's gracious kingdom
In His words you'll find the strength
If you will just believe them
You don't have to move that mountain
Just help me Lord to climb it
You don't have to move that stumblin' block
Just show me the way around it
Well, the way is filled with pitfalls
And sometimes we may falter
You can have His grace, my friend
On your knees down at the altar
You don't have to move that mountain
Just help me Lord to climb it
You don't have to move that stumblin' block
Just show me the way around it

6. _ Oh Lonesome You
You think you got me wrapped around your finger
You treat me like my mama raised a fool
But I'll tell you how you'll feel
When you hear my tires squeal
And I'm gone with somebody new
It's gonna be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
When it's oh lonesome you
My pride is gettin sore from being stepped on
My heart is weak from swimming through the tears
But my two feet are strong and it won't take 'em long
Just to walk on out of here
Then it'll be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
When it's oh lonesome you
It's gonna be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me
When it's oh lonesome you

7. _ O Mexico
I'm catchin' this south bound train
I've had enough of the pouring rain
Chilled to the bone, I have to go
Love was never a friend of mine
The only friend that I have is time
It's down the track, ain't lookin' back
Mexico, O Mexico
I long to see your border town
Mexico, O Mexico
Adios mi corazon
The cars are clickin' the night along
But all I hear is a heartbreak song
Haunting me, relentlessly
Come the morning and I will stand
On the banks of the Rio Grande
A brand new day, wash these tears away
Mexico, O Mexico
I long to see your border town
Mexico, O Mexico
Adios mi corazon
There's nothin' like the feel
Of the steel against the steel
And you can't forget the crying of the rail
There's nothin' like the sight
Of a moonlite desert night
To heal a broken heart that was so frail
Mexico, O Mexico
I long to see your border town
Mexico, O Mexico
Adios mi corazon

8. _ Down on My Knees
Sometimes you wonder
How much I care
I get so distracted, running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
[Chorus]
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind, no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger, than I want to be
If I had to live without, you loving me
[Chorus]
No one matters more in my life
Oh, makes me feel like you make me feel inside
I've come far enough to know love's
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Whatever it takes
I'd be beggin' and pleadin' with you
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

9. _ For Reasons I've Forgotten
For reasons I've forgotten now
We brought love to an end
Ain't it funny how the little things
Seemed so big back then
Damn the pride that makes me want
To break instead of bend
For reasons I've forgotten now
I lost my one true friend
It's lonely tonight
Lookin' back on yesterday
Seein' the fool I was
Feelin' the price I've paid
And the crazy thing about it is
I don't even remember
Who was right
Who was wrong
For reasons I've forgotten now
We brought love to an end
Ain't it funny how the little things
Seemed so big back then
Damn the pride that makes me want
To break instead of bend
For reasons I've forgotten now
I lost my one true friend
For reasons I've forgotten now
We brought love to an end
Ain't it funny how the little things
Seemed so big back then
Damn the pride that makes me want
To break instead of bend
For reasons I've forgotten now
I lost my one true friend

10. _ Xxxs and Ooos (An American Girl)
Phone rings, baby cries, TV diet, guru lies
Good mornin' honey
Go to work, make up, try to keep the balance up
Between love and money
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's trying to make it in her Daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl
Slow dance, second chance, Momma needs romance
And a live in maid
Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard
If you get paid
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's trying to make it in her Daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl
Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl
She's an American girl
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world
She's an American girl
Well she tied her hair up in ribbons and bows
Signed her letters with X's and O's
X's and O's
X's and O's

11. _ Woman Walk the Line
Don't bother sittin' at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong
Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I just need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong
Tonight I want to do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't want to hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin' lonely
But there's nothing here I want to find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear them sing a sad song
I know just what I'm cryin' for
I don't want to stay home waitin'
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby
Before he's in my arms again
Tonight I want to do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't want to hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin' lonely
But there's nothing here I want to find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
Don't bother sittin' at my table

13. _ You Say You Will
You make me promises that you don't keep
Tears are expensive, honey, words are cheap
You tell me one thing then do something else
And even though I know that all too well
I keep forgiving
I keep forgetting
I keep expecting you to change
You say you will
You say you will
You say you will
But you never do
Love doesn't come with any guarantee
It's give and take a little, that's the key
So I give you every little thing you choose
An you give me back a stack of I.O.U.'s
There seems to be a pattern here
How can I tell if you're sincere
You say you will
You say you will
You say you will
But you never do
You say you will
You say you will
You say you will
But you never do

14. _ Nearest Distant Shore
|
|
15. _ Fairytale
I love Cinderella
'Cause every time that it ends
Somebody gets a fella
Time and again
And the moral of the story is
For everyone there's a love that fits
But it was all
Nothing but a fairytale
Never comin' true
It was all
Nothing but a fairytale
Until I found you
And the one about the rainbow
Every time it's told
Some lucky old so and so
Gets a promised pot of gold
It's some reward for all our time
Something sweet at the end of the line
All of the same stories
All of the same words
All of them told to me
In a way I've never heard
By you

16. _ You Can Sleep While I Drive
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas
With the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved, enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams
You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something that's not in your life
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive
Oh is it other arms you want to hold you
The stranger, the lover, you're free
Can't you get that with me
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I've got a full tank of gas
With the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive

17. _ Restless Kind
I was born the restless kind
Settlin' down never crossed my mind
Wild and woolly, well I guess that's me
People sure get nervous when a woman's free
I can hold my tongue, I can hold my wine
I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind
Well I've seen the country and I've been to town
Rode in limousines with the tops rolled down
Walked down the road where the rivers freeze
Whatever it takes I do what I please
I can hold my horses, I can hold the line
I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind
I was born the restless kind
And I never assume what I'm gonna find
I can stand my ground, I can slip through a crack
Just as sure as I leave, honey I'll be back
I can hold my temper, I can bide my time
I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind
I can hold my temper, I can bide my time
I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind

18. _ Those Words We Said
I left home with nothing but a few tears in my eyes
Now I'm halfway down the interstate past Highway 99
It's just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head
Those words we said
No matter how I try I can't get far enough away
Every sad song on my radio sounds like it's custom made
By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear
Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart
And keep me drivin', drivin'

19. _ I Wanna Go Too Far
Everything in moderation, that's the way it's always been
Never gettin' out of control never hanging it out
Always reelin' it in
I saved my money for a rainy day
But now I've had enough of playin' it safe
I want to go too far, I want to go too fast
Somebody draw the line so I can blow right past
I want to spend too much, I want to stay too late
I'm gonna roar too loud, I'm gonna be that way
I want to play too hard, I want to go too far
I'm the one they all depend on
Sensible, predictable, and strong
But every now and then,
I feel like I've played that role too long
I need to rock the boat, I need to speak my mind
Just this once let it all unwind
I want to go too far, I want to go too fast
Somebody draw the line so I can blow right past
I want to spend too much, I want to stay too late
I'm gonna roar too loud, I'm gonna be that way
I want to play too hard, I want to go too far
I've gotta set this spirit free
That's hiding here inside
I feel like a bird in a cage
It's time for me to fly

20. _ On a Bus to St. Cloud
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
And once on a street in New York City
With the jazz and the sin in the air
And once on a cold L.A. freeway
Going nowhere
And it's strange, but it's true
I was sure it was you
Just a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud
In a church in downtown New Orleans
I got down on my knees and prayed
And I wept in the arms of Jesus
For the choice you made
We were just gettin' to the good part
Just gettin' past the mystery
Oh, and it's just like you, it's just like you
To disagree
And it's strange but it's true
You just slipped out of view
Like a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud
And you chase me like a shadow
And you haunt me like a ghost
And I hate you some, and I love you some
But I miss you most
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
