Let's Run Away

Let’s run away for just one night
Before the sun starts a-creeping and turns to broad daylight
It’s been so long, I wanna hold your hand
And I don’t wanna wait another minute to see you again
I know a spot to make a rendezvous
Where a light breeze blows on the banks of the old bayou
My lips are yours until the dawn
Sunrise will come and I’ll have to be moving on
So let’s run away for just one night
When darkness falls let’s get out in the starlight
A memory is all I need
And I won’t even mind when the time comes I have to leave
Let’s run away for just one night
Before the sun starts a-creeping and turns to broad daylight
It’s been so long, I wanna hold your hand
And I don’t wanna wait another minute to see you again
No I don’t wanna wait another minute to see you again

The Bottle and the Booze

The Bottle and the Booze my soul is worn and bruised
I didn’t choose these blues now I’m in disarray
The Bottle and the Booze these worn old walking shoes
Well I can’t seem to lose these honky tonkin’ blues
Been around the block and back I never seem to win
Achin’ now from head to toe my head hurts from within
The Bottle and the Booze these worn old walking shoes
Well I can’t seem to lose these honky tonkin’ blues
Said that I’d be home by ten drank that Turkey down
Now two o’clock has come again I’m nowhere to be found
Thought that I should have one more figured I’d be fine
Woke up in another’s bed with one who wasn’t mine
The Bottle and the Booze these worn old walking shoes
Well I can’t seem to lose these honky tonkin’ blues
Took some pills to make ‘em go I washed ‘em down with gin
Always off the beaten track I take it on the chin
The Bottle and the Booze my soul is worn and bruised
Well I sure hate to lose The Bottle and the Booze
Yes I sure hate to lose The Bottle and the Booze

In My Dreams Again
03:33

You were in my dreams again last night
Looking fine indeed sitting in the moonlight
Playin’ on your Martin, your voice a tenor drawl
A song I’ve never heard and prob’ly can’t recall
There you were in the old backyard
My heart was glad to see you again
You were in my dreams again last night
You were in my dreams again last night
I sat upon your knee, told you all about my life
Twenty years so quickly come and gone and gone again
Life so full of trouble I’d never recommend
Of course you already knew
My heart was glad to talk with you
You were in my dreams again last night
Dreams, dreams, dreams of you
Dreams, dreams, I dreamed of you
Though it makes me sad at times
I’m always glad to find
You were in my dreams again last night
You were in my dreams again last night
The kind that make me feel like everything’s alright
I was just a child breathing in your cologne
Never had to worry, never been alone
I awoke, to my regular view
Missing you but dreams carry me through
You were in my dreams again last night

Come Home
03:05
|

|
And I would come home, cornflowers blooming
Mother and father, brothers and sisters
All waiting there, to show me they care
But it is the cold, the deep of the winter,
Under the ground, mother and father
Buried and gone, not for so long
I want to come home
Home take me home
So come, come on home
The story untold
And brothers and sisters, they have all gone
To lives of their making, I sit all alone
I want to come home
Home take me home
So come, come on home
The story untold
And when the flowers, blossom once more
The ground moist with rain, I will smile for them again and again
With tears in my eyes

Ain't Gonna Buy My Ring
03:41

There's a gleam in your eye, I don't know why
I don't what you've taken
You're down on one knee singin' marry me
And you're already getting naked
I care for you, my dear you know I do
But there is just one thing
I'll buy your clothes and I'll buy your shoes
But I ain't gonna buy my ring
Boy you know I love you
I place no one above you
Still, I have to say one thing
You know just what I'm making
I'm proud to bring home the bacon
I'll buy your clothes and I'll buy your shoes
But I ain't gonna buy my ring
I go to work each day while you go and play
The reckless life you're livin'
There's nothing wrong and we get along
So to my heart I give in
I care for you, my dear you know I do
But there is just one thing
Yeah I'll fix the food and I'll bring the booze
But I ain't gonna buy my ring
Boy you know I love you
I place no one above you
Still, I have to say one thing
You know just what I'm making
I'm proud to bring home the bacon
I'll buy your clothes and I'll buy your shoes
But I ain't gonna buy my ring
Yeah I'll buy your clothes and I'll buy your shoes (6x)
I'll get the food and I'll bring the booze (6x)
You're lovin's something I can't loose (6x)
But I ain't gonna buy my ring
No I ain't gonna buy my ring

Desert Disco
02:54
|

|
I was lost in some desert disco, I'd been wandering around.
Saw the glow of bright lights in the distance, so I stumbled into town.
Then a maitre d' grabbed a hold of me and stopped my ramblin round.
Knew I wasn't in San Francisco when my feet first hit the floor.
All the money machines, bells, and whistles made a loud and steady roar.
All the people there didn't seem to care, they kept on wanting more.
Well if you have the time, why don't you go unwind and spend your hard earned pay?
On the city lights and sinful sites, and booze to chase those blues away.
Lost my sense and I spent all my money, so I stumbled down the road.
Heart was aching to be back in Louisiana, or to see someone I know.
Then a gun shot once, a gun shot twice, and it was time to go.
When the dust cleared out I was staring at a king who'd lost his crown...
Standing over some poor soul's body, laying lifeless on the ground.
Well the truth be told, he had sold his soul for his own brother's gold.
Well if you have the time, you can go unwind, but I'll be far away.
From those city lights and bloody nights you'll regret the debt that you will pay.

Someone Like You
02:54
|

I’d been looking for someone like you
Tried to overlook mean things you do and say to me
And when you left me alone and in pain
I came to realize you were never that man
Someone like you who will treat me like they should
Someone like you who is kind and is good
He doesn’t have to be perfect ‘cause Lord knows I’m not
Someone like you to heal my broken heart
I guess I fell for you too fast
My heart wanted something my head knew would never last
Too many nights spent cryin’ in my room
I broke my own heart waiting for someone like you
Someone like you who will treat me like they should
Someone like you who is kind and good
He doesn’t have to be perfect ‘cause Lord knows I’m not
Someone like you to heal my broken heart
He doesn’t have to be perfect ‘cause Lord knows I’m not
Someone like you to heal my broken heart

Found Myself Instead
03:03
|

|
Took a walk inside my head
Looking for you found myself instead
Too many nights spent all alone
Wandering found my way back home
Wishing I were all alone, all alone with you
For too long I had relied
On someone else til it hurt my pride
Learning to stand on my own again
My legs were weak and my back was bent
I was still all alone, all alone with you
Now I’m all alone, all alone with me
Still I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I am on my way
I’m on my way
Now I’m all alone, all alone with me
Wishing I were all alone, all alone with you
Still I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I am on my way
I’m on my way
Into that storm now I must start
Full of courage and strong of heart
Now I’ll never be mislead
Since I took a walk inside my head
Too many nights spent all alone
Wandering found my way back home

How Could It Be
02:43
|

|
I can’t sleep but I’m so tired
Loving you has got me wired
And I’m not sure how this shakes out
I’m full of doubt
I wished you’d have stayed last night
I needed you to hold me tight
Every time we say goodbye
Tears fill my eyes
I know that you feel it too
And baby you just feel so good
How could it be
I know that you feel it too
And baby you just feel so good
How could it be
How could it be I feel so good
Or is it I’ve misunderstood
How could it be you care for me
Or is it just a fantasy
I don’t feel like we’ve much time
I’ve wasted lots of mine
I don’t want to hesitate
I fear it’s too late
I’ve been feeling insecure
Wondering how we get to more
And I want you to want it too
We can make it through
I know that you feel it too
And baby you just feel so good
How could it be
I know that you feel it too
And baby you just feel so good
How could it be
How could it be
How could it be
