"Second Fiddle"

"Second Fiddle"


You asked me if I'd care
If you danced with Joe
I said yes it's all right
But my heart whispered no
For inside I was crying
For last night it was Jim
Must I play second fiddle
While you're dancing with them
Could it be maybe
I'm just imagining things
Do I believe I'm second with you
Only you know the answer
Is it me or Joe or Jim
Must I play second fiddle
While you're dancing with them

[fiddle]

Only you know the answer...

"Send Me A Picture"

"Send Me A Picture"



Send me a picture
When we were together
And we held the world
In the palm of our hands
When life had a future
Forever and ever
Send me that picture again

How long do you hold on
To dreams that don't come true
Although you dream them again and again
Well one night I'll dream
And it won't be about you
I don't think so
How long has it been

I write all these words
But you will never see them
Cause I'll never send them
I'll just throw them away
Or hide them somewhere
Where no one will find them
So send me that picture today

I used to think time
would make it all better
But I have learned better
As time passed away
And I've almost forgotten
What it was that I lived for
So send me that picture today

I write all these words
But you will never see them
Cause I'll never send them
I'll just throw them away
Or hide them somewhere
Where no one will find them
So send me that picture today

Send me a picture
When we were together
And we held the world
In the palm of our hands
When life had a future
Forever and ever
Send me that picture again

"Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On"

"Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On"



Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darlin' I can dream on it too

"Senses"

"Senses"



The sense to see and I saw you walk away
The sense to feel and I feel lonely everyday
The sense to hear for I heard you say goodbye
The sense to taste now I can taste the tears that I cry
My senses tell me all that I need to know
It's over but I don't have the sense to let you go
It doesn't make much sense for me to cry for you
And if I had any sense at all I'd realize we're through
But my senses are reacting much too slow
And it's over but I don't have the sense to let you go
Yes it's over but I don't have the sense to let you go

"Sentimental Journey"

"Sentimental Journey"


Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
I got my fare got my reservation
Spent every dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that all abord
Seven that's the time we leave
At seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
I never thought my heart could be
So yearny why did I decide to roam
I'm gonna take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

[guitar]

Seven that's the time we leave
At seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
I never thought my heart could be
So yearny why did I decide to roam
I'm gonna take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

"September Song"

"September Song"



Oh, it's a long, long while
From May to December
But the days grow short,
When you reach September.
When the autumn weather
Turn leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game.

Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few . . .
September, November . . .
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.

Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few . . .
September, November . . .
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.

"Shall We Gather"

"Shall We Gather"



Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angels he has brought,
With it's crystal tides forever
Flowing by the throne of God

Yes, we'll gather at the river.
The beautiful, the beautiful, river.
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God

Ere we reach the shining river
Lay we every burden down,
Praise our spirits will deliver
And provide our robe and crown.

Yes, we'll gather at the river.
The beautiful, the beautiful, river.
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God

Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

Yes, we'll gather at the river.
The beautiful, the beautiful, river.
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God

"Shame On You"
(feat. Asleep at the Wheel)

"Shame On You"
(feat. Asleep at the Wheel)



My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job weve done

I say lets put on some tunes
Sing a long and dolittle all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away

And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you

I go down to chicano city park
Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter time

But when the summer comes everythings in bloom
And you wouldnt know its there
And the white folks like to pretend its not
But their musics in the air

And you can hear em singing
La la la they said shame on you
You can feel em dancing
La la la they said shame on you

My friend tanner she says you know
Me and jesus were of the same heart
The only thing that keeps us distant
Is that I keep fuckin up

I said come on down to chicano city park
And wash your blues away
The beautiful ladies walk right by
You know I never know what to say

And theyll be singing
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
And theyll be dancing
Ooo la la la they said shame on you
Shame on you

Lets go road block trippin in the middle of the night
Up in gainesville town
Therell be blue lights flashin down the long dirt road
When they ask me to step out

They say weve been looking for illegal immigrants
Can we check your car
I say you know its funny
I think we were on the same boat back in 1694

And I said
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
Theyll be dancing
La la la I said shame on you
I said
Oo la la la la la la la la la la shame on you
Shame on you la la
La la la la la shame on you
I said
I said
La la la shame on you
Ill be dancing
And theyll be singing
La la la I said shame on you
Shame on you

Road block trippin in the middle of the night
Gainesville town
Blue lights flashin down the long dirt road

"Shame On You"

"Shame On You"



Shame, shame on you
Shame, shame on you
You took my heart as a token
When returned it was broken
Don't you hide, shame on you

Shame, shame on you
Shame, shame on you
You ran around with other guys
Tried to lie when I got wise
Foolish girl, shame on you

Shame, shame on you
Shame, shame on you
You ran around with other guys
Tried to lie when I got wise
Foolish girl, shame on you

Shame, shame on you
Shame, shame on you
You took my heart as a token
When returned it was broken
Don't you hide, shame on you
Don't you hide, shame on you
Don't you hide, shame on you
