1. _ Stand By Your Man
|
2. _ I Know You Know
Tell me something that you mean
Not just what comes to mind
'cause i can see you're somewhere in between
This morning and the late last night
And i know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you
Even the stars will pass away
And the sun will burn to coal
And even men will hear the angels say
He was a fool to let it show
But i know you know
And there ain't nothing i can do
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you
And i know it ain't never come to no good
And i know it seems like it ain't no use
And i know i should've left while i still could
But i can't find a reason to
So tell me something that you mean
Not just what comes to mind
Because you know i would believe
Anything you'd say
And i know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you

3. _ Cryin' Shame
You got you some legs baby
That just won't quit
You got a pretty boy
And he looks pretty hip
You got you one on the sly
But you gave him the slip
And that's just a cryin' shame
'cause you love the boy
With pretty green eyes
And you love the boy
Who says he's so clever and wise
And you love the boy
Who's always telling you lies
And that's just a cryin' shame
Sometimes it never quits raining
Sometimes that phone just won't ring
Sometimes i never miss nothing
And sometimes i miss anything
But you like 'em tall when it's raining
And you like 'em dark when you're feeling no pride
But you never felt anything that you wanted to hide
And that's just a cryin' shame
So he says you look lovely my dear
You say thank you i'm fine
And you spend all his money
And you spend all his time
And you spend the night
Like you were spending a dime
And that's just a cryin' shame

4. _ The Blues Walk

5. _ Nobody Knows Me
And i like cream in my coffee
And i like to sleep late on sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And i like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby
And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby
But it was a dream made to order
South of the border
And nobody knows me like my baby
And she cried man how could you do it
And i swore that there weren't nothing to it
But nobody knows me like my baby
And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby
And i like cream in my coffee
And i hate to be alone on sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby

6. _ Here I Am
Hello
I'm the guy who sits next to you
And reads the newspaper over your shoulder
Wait
Don't turn the page
I'm not finished
Life is so uncertain
Here i am
Yes it's me
Take my hand
And you'll see
Here i am
Yes it's true
All i want
Girl is you
Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability
Are at the very least difficult
If not impossible to come by
We could always opt for the more temporal gratification
Of sheer physical attraction
That wouldn't make you a shallow person
Would it
Here i am
Yes it's me
Take my hand
And you'll see
Here i am
Yes it's true
All i want
Girl is you
If ford is to chevrolet
What dodge is to chrysler
What corn flakes are to post toasties
What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea
What hank williams is to neil armstrong
Can you doubt we were made for each other
Here i am
Yes it's me
Take my hand
And you'll see
Here i am
Yes it's true
All i want
Girl is you
Look
I understand too little too late
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back
But what would you be if you didn't even try
You have to try
So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger
Here i am
Yes it's me
Take my hand
And you'll see
Here i am
Yes it's true
All i want
Girl is you

7. _ Which Way Does That Old Pony Run
When i was a very young man
I was a cowboy
The best in the land
But then she settled me down
With a touch of her hand
Now i'm begging you mister
Tell me if you can
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run
Now a young girl
She don't know when she's lying
But a woman
Great god she knows how its done
So mama before i go
There's just one thing on my mind
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run
So this good life you know i must leave
Your new car
And your color tv
But what's riches to you
Just ain't riches to me
And if you're staying out here
Then i'm headed back east
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run

8. _ Good Intentions
It's a sunny day in california
But that old sun it's shining on me right here at home
It's one of those days
When those great ideas they just seem to fall out on you
And they always fall the greatest when you're falling all alone
It makes for a good day for some serious reflection
And massive rationalization
For contemplating the future of the future
And the last of the past
And wondering if you could ever forgive me darling
All the trouble that i put to you
And if i could forget all those questions
That i never asked
And if i could forgive
The temporary weight gain due to excess water retention
I could forgive the rest too
It's just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions
So the grass it grows
When the sun it shines
And my face it glows
When the woman's mine
And you say i'm a fool-around
Honey that may be true
But i'd sooner fool around
Than be a fool for a fool
And if i could forgive
The unadulterated adulterating apprehension
I could forgive the rest too
It's just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions
So i'm twenty-six and rising
Still too young to live
But too low to go
I guess it's the process
Of learning to excess
All of those things
That you already know
And if i could forgive
The honey-i-swear-it-didn't-mean-a-thing-to-me
Attempt at abstention
I could forgive the rest too
It's just a fact of life
That no ones cares to mention
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions

9. _ What Do You Do/the Glory Of Love
Honey bring me the paper
And pour me a beer
And turn on the tv
And sweep up over here
You tell me you love me
To put off my blues
But what do you do
When it quits being new
Now you be home for supper
And don't slam that door
And you better be a sober man
Or i'll give you what for
You tell me you love me
To put off my blues
But what do you do
When it quits being new
We used to not worry about nothing
We used to would laugh and play
But now when we look at each other
We never have nothing to say
Except for you know well she says
You could take me to dinner
And you could buy me some clothes
If you make all that money man
Make damn sure it shows
You could tell me you love me
To put off my blues
But what do you do
When it quits being new
And he says you could put on some makeup
And you could pile up your hair
And at least try to do something
With what you've got there
You could tell me you love me
To put off my blues
But what do you do
Say what do you do
When it
What do you do when it
Say what do you do when it
Say well
Hi there
What's your
My name is
And my wife is at the pt and
I had to
You know we could
I buy you
Is that a scotch and so a
What will it be
Your place
Or a place to
Say man
What do you think you
See i'm not that kind of
Affair is fair
And right is
Right around the corner
Just a block or
So you know come morning
You'll have to leave
Everything to me
What do you do
Say what do you do
And that's the glory of
And that's the story of
What do you do

10. _ Once Is Enough
I used to be so much more open minded
And i used to like to fall in love
And they tell me i was so much sweeter and kinder
But once is enough
Yeah i used to be mr. understanding
I used to could listen and not interrupt
But now i'm a different man than that man then
'cause once is enough
And once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough
And yeah i used to be able to handle rejection
I used to be so long lean and tough
And i used to would fight for a woman's affection
But once is enough
Once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough
So baby you don't have to tell me two times
You can save your sweet breath because
I saw the way you looked away from my eyes
And once is enough
But a man can't help can't help but learn his lesson
But a man he can't help the stars above
And a man can't help but go around messing
With once is enough
Once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough too feel your heart beat
Once is enough
So if you see me down by the byway
Won't you tell me you'll do this much
Take your head just one time and turn it my way
'cause once is enough
And once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough

11. _ If You Were To Wake Up
If you were to wake up
And i were beside you
Would you gently smile dear
And whisper my name
And would you remember
The way that i held you
And would you want me
To hold you again
Time reaches to you
Just like a willow
That bends to the water
And clings to the shore
And there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more
Rain on your window
Light on your pillow
The way you lie sleeping
Is it like before
For there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more

12. _ I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You
Its not the words
You know i'll always love you
It's not the words
I wish that i could stay
It's more the way your lips looked
As you spoke them
And how the moonlight fell upon your face
I married her just because she looks like you
And for every time you said no
She says honey i'll be glad to
And for every time you left me
She says darling i'll be there
It's not the words
You'll get over me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
And if i had not searched for you
I never would have found her
And if i had not loved you
I would never have known love
It's not the words
Please try to forget me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
And for every time you knocked me down
She reaches out to help me
And for every time you cursed me
She says darling i love you
It's not the words
Time heals everything
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you
