Yes Ma'am...

Yes ma’am he found me in a Honky Tonk
And I’m sure I’m not the kind of girl
You’d want your son to want
Yes ma’am I know you think that it’s all wrong
And if he felt the way you do
I’d go back where I belong
(Yes) I know he deserves the best
And there’s better girls than me
Please don’t quarrel with me
'Cause I love him can’t you see
Yes ma’am he met me where the lights are low
And I’ve seen the other side of town
Where good girls shouldn’t go
Yes I know he deserves the best
And there’s better girls than me
(And) Please don’t quarrel with me
‘Cause I love him can’t you see
Yes ma’am I partied with a (the) crazy crowd
But someone just like your lovin’ son
Helped to show me how
Yes someone just like your lovin’ son
Helped to show me how

My brain is cloudy my soul is upside down
Lord my brain is cloudy my soul is upside down
When I get this low down feelin'
I know the blues must be someplace around
Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day
Get out your little prayer book get upon your knees and pray
’Cause you're gonna need you're gonna need my love someday
And you're goin' to be sorry oh you treated me this way
Well good evenin' don't that sun look good goin' down
I said well good evenin' don't that sun look good goin' down
And don't your home look lonesome
When your lover ain't no place around
Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my cryin' and leave you alone
You don't believe I need it you can count the days I'm gone
Cause you're gonna need you're gonna need my love someday
And Lord you're goin' to be sorry oh you treated me this way

Let The Teardrops Fall
02:39

Let the teardrops fall
You said you wasn’t gonna call
You didn’t love me at all
So let the teardrops fall
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been so blue
And I spend my time
Just a-thinkin’ of you
Well I sit here at home
By my telephone
Hopin’ you’ll change your mind
Well it’s you I dream of
And I need your love
So tell me you’ll be mine
‘Cause the sun don’t shine
And the moon it won’t glow
And these lonely nights
All pass to slow
Sweet memories
I still recall
But I miss you so
So let the teardrops fall

There Stands The Glass
02:55
|

|
There stands the glass ...
That will ease all my pain ...
That will settle my brain ...
It's my first one to day ...
There stands the glass ...
That will hide all my tears ...
That will drown all my fears ...
Brother, I'm on my way. ... ...
CHORUS
I'm wond'ring where you are tonight
I'm wond'ring if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my mis-e-ry
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today.

Don't Think Twice
03:41
|

Ain’t no use in callin’ out my name boy like you never did before
Ain’t no use in callin’ out my name boy I can’t hear you anymore
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason why I’m travelin’ on
Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Walking down that lone lonesome road boy where I’ve found I can’t tell
Goodbye is too good a word boy so I’ll just say a fare theewell
Well I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unking
I coulda done better but I’d don’t mind
You just sorta wasted my precious time
Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light babe a light I’ve never known
Ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light babe I’m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you could do or say
To make me change my mind and stay
You never did too much talking anyway
Don’t Think Twice, it’s okay
Ain’t no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don’t know by now
Ain’t no use to sit and wonder why babe it don’t matter anyhow
I’m a thinkin’ and a wonderin’ all the way down the road
I once loved a man, a child I’m told
Well I gave him my heart but he wanted my soul
Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright

Jones On the Jukebox
03:35
|
|||
|
There’s a fool in the mirror
Looking back across the bar
Reflections of a woman
Whose world just fell apart
Now the life we built together
And the golden rings are gone
And this whiskey burns his mem’ries
And it looks like the race is on
I’ve got Jones on the jukebox
And you on my mind
I’m slowly going crazy
A quarter at a time
He stopped lovin’ her today
Oh but I’m still doin’ time
I’ve got Jones on the jukebox
And you on my mind
The cowboys in the corner
Are makin’ eyes at me
But I just wanna be alone
With your memory
Now the music’s good and country
And the whiskey’s feelin’ right
You won’t be back but George and Jack
Will help me through the night
I’ve got Jones on the jukebox
And you on my mind
I’m slowly going crazy
A quarter at a time
He stopped lovin’ her today
Oh but I’m still doin’ time
I’ve got Jones on the jukebox
And you on my mind

Louisiana Waltz
03:46
|
|||
|
They met on the banks of the Old Pontchartrain
Two weary souls in the world
And with that first glance they started to dance
To the tune called the Looziana Waltz
The heat of the day has just faded away
And the soft twilight comes like a song
They’ll dance Jole Blon but they one they love most
Is a tune we call the Looziana Waltz
While the band played and the crowd swayed
The homefolks gathered round
The mighty sun laid her weary head down
No more would they stray from the others embrace
And the tune called the Looziana Waltz
Happy years flew on by and she’d said farewell
To the man who had been her true love
Now she’ll join him there but with her dying breath
She asked to hear the Looziana Waltz
While the band played and the crowd swayed
The homefolks gathered round
The mighty sun laid her weary head down
When the fog rolls ashore they’re dancing there still
To the tune called the Looziana Waltz

Send Me Away

Send me away with your kisses
A taste of you to last a lonely mile
Send me away with your kisses
Got a feelin’ I won’t see you for a while
They say a star is born there almost every day
But fame and fortune waits eight hundred miles away
Send me away with your kisses
A taste of you to last a lonely mile
Send me away with your kisses
Gotta feelin’ I won’t see you for a while
A dirty motel room, think I’ve been gone too long
I’m sleepless in Los Angeles you lie awake back home
Send me away with your kisses
A taste of you to last a lonely mile
Send me away with your kisses
Gotta feelin’ I won’t see you for a while

Hey mister bartender please don't be so slow
I’ve got time for one more round and a six pack to go
Tomorrow mornin's sunday, I'm gonna be feelin' low
So please please bartender I wanna six pack to go
I’ve been drinkin’ all day long taking in the town
I’ve done spent my whole paycheck just a honky tonkin’ round
Well I don’t have enough to pay my rent but I ain’t gonna worry though
I’ve got time for one more round and a six pack to go!
We’ve been drinkin’ all day long taking in the town
We’ve done spent our whole paychecks just a honky tonkin’ round
Well we don’t have enough to pay the rent but we ain’t gonna worry though
We’ve got time for one more round and a six pack to go!

All the summer, all the fall
Tryin’ to find my little all in all
But now he’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sittin’ on top of the world
I’ve never had one guy at a time
Always havin’ seven, eight or nine
But now they’re gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sittin’ on top of the world
If you catch me stealin’ don’t tell on me
Just tryin’ to steal back to my little used to be
But now he’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sittin’ on top of the world
I’m goin’ to that freight train way down in the yard
Goin’ catch me a freight train I’ve worked so darn hard
But now he’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sittin’ on top of the world

I'm Coming Home

I’m comin’ home, yes I'm coming home
I’m comin’ home sweet Caroline
So keep the kettle on and the front porch swingin’
‘Cause I’m comin’ home sweet Caroline
The day that I left her , yes the day that I left her
The day that I left her then I knew
I’d made a grave mistake and I wish I could erase
The day that I left my Caroline
I long to be, yes I long to be
I long to be in Caroline
The homefires burn and my mom and daddy wait for me
Where I long to be in Caroline
This train is bound, yes this train is bound
This train is bound for Caroline
I’ll tell that old conductor to take me on back home
‘Cause this train is bound for Caroline (Back home to my sweet Caroline)
I’m comin’ home, yes I'm coming home
I’m comin’ home sweet Caroline
So keep the kettle on and the front porch swingin’
‘Cause I’m comin’ home sweet Caroline

That's Why I Ride
03:55
|

Got no change in my jeans
I’m runnin’ low on all my hopes and dreams
But I’ve got a melody stashed deep in my heart
It’s been drivin’ me since the very start
Playin’ all night livin’ life without care
Seein’ all the different towns and folks everywhere
Frozen stars in a deep velvet sky
Yeah brother that’s why I ride
Way out yonder is where I’m longing to be
Maybe somewhere along Interstate 40 somebody waits for me
There’s thin clouds dancin’ out the moon
The radio's knockin’ out a swingin’ tune
Early morning drivin’ with that angel close by my side
Yeah brother that’s why I ride
Way out yonder is where I’m longing to be
Maybe somewhere along 66 Lady Luck waits for me
Tonight I sleep with a dreamy heart
Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a new start
I can hear the road singin’ as we pass through the night
Yeah brother that’s why I ride

Plastic Jesus

I don’t care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
It glows in the dark ‘cause it’s iridescent
Take one with you when you travel far
Get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones
Sittin’ on a pedeastal of abalone shell
Goin’ ninety I ain’t scared
‘Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won’t go to hell
Get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones
Sittin’ on a pedeastal of abalone shell
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
It glows in the dark ‘cause it’s iridescent
Take one with you when you travel far
I don’t care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car
Goin’ ninety I ain’t scared
‘Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won’t go to hell
Assuring me that I won’t go to hell
