"Almost Persuaded"

"Almost Persuaded"


Last night all alone in a barroom
Met the girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To put my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded
To let soft lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home...

"Amanda"

"Amanda"


I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife.

Well, the measure of people don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding thirty and still wearin' jeans.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife...

"Amazing Love"

"Amazing Love"


When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me
She'll find I let her sleep 'cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow, I know she'll smile.

Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love.

If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says I miss you
And then I can feel her smiling on the phone.

Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love...

"Amos Moses"

"Amos Moses"


Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He haunted alligators for a livin'
He just knock 'em in the head with a stump.

The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now everybody blames his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake.

When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.

About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana
Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well, they raised up a son
That could eat up his weight in groc'ries
Named him after the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses.

Now folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator
And just use only one hand.
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.

Well, the sheriff got wind
That Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp
Gonna get the boy but he never come out again.

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About forty five minutes.

About forty five minutes...

"An Old Memory Like Me"

"An Old Memory Like Me"


There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me

There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me

I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all

like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years
like the old tattered bear
in the bedroom somewhere
ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
there's a bottle of champainge
it's french 59
but you might as well drink it
to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
mmm hmm

"Another Man's Woman"

"Another Man's Woman"


I've tried to be strong, I've tried to leave town
This conscience of mine is getting me down.
I needed a love, someone sweet and kind
But another man's woman was all I could find.

Another man's woman, Oh Lord, can I get
It's too soon to answer for I'm falling yet.
There's so many others who need love like mine
But another man's woman was all I could find.

There's so many others...

"As Good As A Lonely Girl Can Be"

"As Good As A Lonely Girl Can Be"


Tell me darling have I been away too long
I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home
Have you missed me, I kind of hope you would
And jokingly I ask are you being good.

I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.

It was just too much for me I should've known
You were just too much a woman to me alone
I just realized I love you much too late
And Lord it's killing me to hear you say.

I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.

Tell me darling, have I been away too long
I know I was wrong to leave but now all I wanna do
Is come back home
You're just too much to me I know I should've known
You were just too much woman for me to leave alone...

[Loretta:]
Hello

[Conway:]
Hello Loretta

[Loretta:]
Darlin', I knew it was you
Oh, please tell me what to do
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone.

The talk, is around that we're through
Oh darlin, tell me what to do
I knew that you'd tell me, they where wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone.

Oh no, Oh no
I can't believe that it's true
Oh no, Oh no

You tell me it's over and done
You say that you had all your fun
But I can't believe you'll be gone
As soon as I hang up the phone.

As soon as I hang up the phone.

[Conway:]
Goodbye Loretta...

"At Least One Time"

"At Least One Time"


You keep comin' to me
Tryin' to look inside my mind
Well, what you see
Are you wonderin'
If you're in there
Well, you are
But baby, you got company.

I'm not looking for a place to go
When I'll leave I won't be coming back no more
I'm more like a circus show
I pitch my tent and then I'll go
So get in line at least one time.

I'm not just a side show either
Step up front but don't just stand and stare
Yeah, I'm the main attraction
But understand I'll sell my tickets anywhere

I'm not looking for a place to go
When I'll leave I won't be coming back no more
I'm more like a circus show
I pitch my tent and then I'll go
So get in line at least one time.

You keep comin' to me
Tryin' to look inside my mind
Well, what you see
Are you wonderin'
If you're in there
Well, you are
But baby, you got company...

"Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me"

"Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me"


You've got that look in your eyes and it's startin' to worry me
But I ain't ready for no family ties nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly buy cause I don't want to leave
Don't start clingin' to me girl cause I can't breathe

Baby baby don't get hooked on me
Baby baby don't get hooked on me
Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby baby don't get hooked on me

You're a hot blooded woman child and it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your trembling smile you're seeing way too much in me
Girl don't let your life get tangled up with mine
Cause I'll just leave you I can't take no clinging vine
Baby baby don't get hooked on me...
Baby baby don't get hooked on me...
