"Raindrops"

"Raindrops"


Raindrops, raindrops
I look out my window and what do I see
Raindrops, raindrops
They mark the pathway to my destiny
Raindrops, raindrops
Yes rain like the tears that fell from my heart
The day you said we'd have to part
And now what's left for me to do
But watch those raindrops and cry over you

You've stolen my love and my heart away
Raindrops, raindrops
And I'll feel the same for the rest of my days
Raindrops, raindrops
Well I've tried yes I've tried I want you to know
I did what you asked I loved you so
But I knew in my heart it wouldn't be long
Till I'd look up and you'd be gone

"Remember The Good"

"Remember The Good"


Yes, I suppose at times I think about her
She was once so much a part of me
Heaven knows I've learned to live without her
And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, If it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times I've tried,
I wouldn't change it if I could
For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good
I'll forget the bad
All the good times we've had
Won't make me quite so sad
When I'm remembering
And for all the times I've tried,
I wouldn't change it if I could
For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good
For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good.

"Ride Away"

"Ride Away"


Two wheels a turnin'
One girl a yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road

I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold

Pretty girls behind me but pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up, ride away from here

Ride away

She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a ... I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me

She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away

Big motor run run (background) ride ride away
Ride on away from big motor run run
Heart-ache and misery

I'm bound to wander
Way over yonder
Someone be waitin' just for me

True love to cling to, I need a dream to share
Someone to know me, Someone to show me they care

Ride away, ride away
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow

Tonight I'll ride away

"Rings Of Gold"

"Rings Of Gold"


I remember when you said
"With this ring I thee wed"
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns those rings of gold to rust

Plans we made just yesterday
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust

Love before was clean and pure
Never more can I be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

"River"

"River"


Roly-oly on now, river
Roly-oly on your way
Roly-oly on now river
Wash my cares away

River so wide and so deep
Wake the sandman from his sleep
River remind him
He has a promise to keep

Roll on, mighty river
Running wild and free
Get along now, river
Bring a dream to me

Hey now, river
Go down, River
Don't slow down, river
Bring a dream for me

Roly-oly on now, river
Roly-oly on your way
Roly-oly on now river
Take my troubles away

Robin Hood river, roll on
Go steal a dream from the dawn
River, you'll find me
Where all the dreamers have gone

Roll on, mighty river
Running wild and free
Get along now, river
And bring a dream to me

Hey now, river
Go down, River
Don't slow down, river
Bring that dream for me

"Rock House"

"Rock House"


Blue light, big crowd
Jukebox plays loud
No fear, no care
Everybody's rockin' everywhere
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We're goin' to the rock house
Well rock it in the mornin'
Rock it in daylight
Rockin' through the evening
And I won't be home at night
Rock house, we're goin' to the rock house
Rock-a-rock house

Heartache, you lose
No trouble, no booze
Come one, come all
Well rock it up and have a ball
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We're goin' to the rock house

"Rollin' On"

"Rollin' On"


Wagons loaded full up ain't got time to pull up
On my way to Frisco back to San Fransisco
Rolling on Rolling on to San Fransisco
Rolling on to Frisco bay

Rolling on and lady luck is getting bolder
The high sheriff man looking over my shoulder yeah
Rolling on, rolling on, rolling on

Kicking up the hot dust San Fransisco or bust
Don't want to delay now hey I'm on my way now
Rolling on rolling on to San Fransisco
Rolling on to Frisco bay

Rolling on and lady luck is getting bolder
The high sheriff man looking over my shoulder yeah
Rolling on, rolling on, rolling on

Born a loser not me ain't no troubles got me
Can't afford to be late San Fransisco won't wait
Rolling on, rolling on

"Run The Engines Up High"

"Run The Engines Up High"


Standing in this airport waiting all alone
Listening to the falling raindrops playing a lonely song
I didn't want to leave that girl, but I couldn't stay
But when the feeling's gone, you know it's gotta end just this way

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Take me up and away, gonna find some better days
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Leaving yesterday's sorrow, gonna chase tomorrow

When I step up on board this plane, I'll never look behind
I'll close my eyes and let the whining engines ease my mind
I may get off in Dallas, or go on to L.A.
But anyway, I've got some time to think a while along the way

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Leaving yesterday's sorrow, I'm gonna chase tomorrow
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Take me up and away I'm gonna find some better days...

"Run, Baby, Run (Back Into My Arms)"

"Run, Baby, Run (Back Into My Arms)"


Run,run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run

Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

Even though you hurt me
I still love you, it's true
Even though I know that you will hurt me again
I will love you as I did then

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

I'm not the kind of guy
To ever hurt you or let you down
So if that guy you're seeing ever makes you cry
Leave him, tell him goodbye

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run...

"Running Scared"

"Running Scared"


Just runnin' scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.
