"'Till I Gain Control Again"
(originally by Emmylou Harris)

"'Till I Gain Control Again"
(originally by Emmylou Harris)



Just like the sun over the mountaintop
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

I've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
What you seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Till I can gain control again

And like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark a sailor's journey's end
No matter what sea I've been sailing on
I'll always roll your way again

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Till I can gain control again

I only hope that you can hold me now
'Till I can gain control again
'Till I can gain control again

"(Now And Then, There's) A Fool Such As I"

"(Now And Then, There's) A Fool Such As I"


Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you

(originally by Buck Owens)

"Above And Beyond"
(originally by Buck Owens)



Well, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry

Yes, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

Well a poor boys chances for a pretty girls glances
Are sometimes very few
Though I got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you

Yes, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never, ever make you cry
Yes, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

Well, we met by chance and I knew in a glance
That I'd found my destiny
Now I want to carry you off and marry you if you will agree

And, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never, ever make you cry

Yes, I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

"Adam's Song"

"Adam's Song"


We don't want to say goodbye we don't want to feel that empty
But it's time to face the dawn head on
Then there's something in the wind when the days go getting shorter
And the nights run cold and clear down here

Takin' each new day to give what we need to do our part
We'll keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

And we never will forget it's a privilege to remember
The sound of days gone past will last
And we can see you in the stars come some vivid night in November
And with the last few leaves that fall recall

Surely each new day will give what we need to do our part
To keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

Oh you beautiful one so clearly a gift life had designs of its own
To set you adrift

So go lightly where you must travel soft upon new wings
You will never be alone go on
When we cannot understand when we cannot find new meaning
We'll seek out the ones you loved and love

Taking each new day to give what we need to do our part
We'll keep learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart
We're just learning how to live with a lifelong broken heart

"After All This Time"

"After All This Time"


There were trains and we out-run 'em
There were songs and we out-sung 'em
There were brighter days never ending
There was time and we were burnin'
There were rhymes and we were learnin'
There was all the love two hearts could hold

And after all this time
You're always on my mind
Hey I could never let it end
'Cause my heart takes so long to mend
The dream that keeps your hopes alive
The lonely nights you hold inside
And after all this time
You're always on my mind
I still want you

There was rain that we outlasted
There was pain but we got past it
There were last goodbyes still left unspoken
There were ways I should have thrilled you
There were days I could have killed you
You're the only love my life has known

And after all this time
You're always on my mind
Hey I could never let you go
A broken heart that heals so slow
Could never beat for someone new
While you're alive and I am too
And after all this time
You're always on my mind
I still miss you

And I could never let it in
'Cause my heart takes so long to mend
The dream that keeps your hopes alive
The lonely nights you hold inside
And after all this time
You're always on my mind
I still want you
Hey after all this time
You're always on my mind
I still love you

"Ain't No Money"

"Ain't No Money"


Every day now, my friends all say
My ship is sailing, could be any day?
Any day now it might not feel so blue

My baby tells me; "Stop and look around"
"If you ain't careful, boy, you're trouble-bound"
"Run home for cover and you might not find them there"

She said there ain't no money in just running around
You can't make your money from staying at home
Yeah, and there ain't no future in the way that it feels today

Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love

No running around, staying at home, mmm

I try to tell 'em, baby, straight and true
No love, no money tells you what to do
You're born to ramble, baby, that's what I was too

Just breaking even, even if I move
Old lucky seven's got its hold on you
I got your number, baby, any way you move

Baby, there ain't no money and that's for sure
Ain't no money behind those doors
There ain't no trouble that a poor man won't go through

Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love

Ain't no money
Baby, ain't no money

"All You've Got To Do"

"All You've Got To Do"


Wouldn't it be sweet
If you could be in love with me
The way that I'm in love with you
It's so easy to do

All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love with me
All you've got to do is fall in love with me

And everyday you don't, it's wasted
And every night alone, it's your fault
The sweetest lips I've ever tasted
The only lips I'll ever want

All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love with me
All you've got to do is fall in love with me

"Alone But Not Alone"

"Alone But Not Alone"


People come and people go
And the colors that they bring
You're still here and we both know
You'll remain through sunshine and rain

Alone but not alone because you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

People come and people go
And the colors that they bring
You're still here and we both know
You'll remain through sunshine and rain

Alone but not alone, you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone 'cause I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone, yeah, yeah

Promise made is a promise kept
And your word's as good as gold
(Word's as good as gold)
You have never, never left me yet
You'll stay with me as I grow old

Alone but not alone because you're still here
And the visions of days gone by are so clear
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

Not alone, said I'm not alone, no
As long as I know you

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh
As long as I do, I'm not alone

People come and people go
Said you're never gonna go
You'll remain sunshine and rain

Said, alone but not alone because you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

I've seen the lightning flashing
And I've heard the thunder roll, oh my
I've felt sins breakers dashing
But I've never, never been left alone

Alone but not alone, you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

Alone but not alone, you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

Alone but not alone, you're still here
And the presence of your love is so near
Alone but not alone because I know you
And as long as I do, I'm not alone

Life's fierce winds are blowing
Temptations aren't keen
But there's a sweet peace in knowing, oh my
That I've never, never been left alone

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh

"Anything But Tame"

"Anything But Tame"


When our feet were tough as horn
And our eyes were sharp as flint
And our hearts beat like two war drums
And you tracked me by my scent

Cross a scape of shiny asphalt
That blacked our soles with tar
And we ran like brave Comanches
On a moonlit reservoir

And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I just wanna saddle up
Ride my broomstick pony
Along some salt grass open plain

I can see you standing guard
On the fence in your backyard
With your daisy pump air rifle
And your Annie Oakley aim
Ah, you were anything but tame

When you'd summon me with bird calls
Or you scratching at my screen
Your mouth gone sweet with juicy fruit
Tawny legs and cut off jeans

In my stretchy Ford Ranchero
Ah, we rattled like train cars
And we slung our share of gravel
'Neath a tarpaulin of stars

And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I don't wanna give an inch
The fenced off picture perfect
In your billfold window frame

'Cause you were born to romp
In this God forsaken swamp
Dodging cotton mouths and quicksand
On your tiptoes in the rain
Ah, you were anything but tame

I heard Shreveport didn't last
So you lit out for L.A.
But when lightning claws the night up
I can see you plain as day

And when I want to feel you near me
I go quit this tired old gloom
And pull on down a bayou
To where the morning glories bloom

And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I don't wanna tread regret
And flat out make excuses
For the way I came up lame

I could have been enough
To live down by the gulf
Where the cutting edge of nowhere
Where the sun goes down in flames
We were anything but tame
Anything but tame
