"Nothin' In The World"

"Nothin' In The World"


Well, I've moaned the blues since she slammed that door
Drank and cried and I walked the floor
And her memory's backed me against the wall
So tonight I'm gonna end it all
You can say goodbye to this lonely guy
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl

Help me, help me, I'm about to die
There's a lovesick man on the prowl tonight
Don't call the doctor, don't call the law
When a good lovin' woman can fix it all
I gotta have another she to rescue me
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl

Well, I know y'all think that I've gone mad
I'm out huntin' me one like I just had
It's like grabbin' a hold of a high line wire
Or jumpin' out of the pan straight into the fire
Oh, but only a man can understand
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl

Help me, help me, I'm about to die
There's a lovesick man on the prowl tonight
Don't call the doctor, don't call the law
When a good lovin' woman can fix it all
I gotta have another she to rescue me
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl

"Nothing Compares To Loving You"

"Nothing Compares To Loving You"


Of all the things I've ever done
I'd be hard pressed to think of one
That makes me feel the way you do
Nothing compares to loving you

Of all the things I've yet to try
There ain't one thing that comes to mind
My running wild days are through
Nothing compares to loving you

I don't need a mountain
I don't need the challenge
I don't need a river to cross
Girl I can't imagine
What could be worth havin'
That turns me on the way you do
Nothing compares to loving you

And one day when I face the Lord
Heaven won't be my reward
Until you're up there with me too
Nothing compares to loving you

I don't need a mountain
I don't need the challenge
I don't need a river to cross
Girl I can't imagine
What could be worth havin'
That turns me on the way you do
Nothing compares to loving you
Nothing compares to loving you

There ain't nothin' I could ever dream of
That I want more than your sweet love

I don't need a mountain
I don't need the challenge
I don't need a river to cross
Girl I can't imagine
What could be worth havin'
That turns me on the way you do
Nothing compares to loving you
Nothing compares to loving you
Nothing compares to loving you
Oh yeah, oh yeah...

"People Like Us"

"People Like Us"


There's a pool hall, jukebox and sawdust floors
Three plays for a quarter and they still want more
Yeah, there's a reason for fast cars and that double yellow line
Hearbread songs and good cheap two dollar wine

'Cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, longneck
Bottles, rusty old pick up trucks
Oh, at last call the lights go up
And it's all because of people like us

I got a second-hand boat, the last owner's in jail
There's second-hand smoke everywhere I exhale
There's greasy little truck stops and all night dives
No tell motels and everybody knows why

'Cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, longneck
Bottles, rusty old pick up trucks
Oh, at last call the lights go up
And it's all because of people like us

'Cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, longneck
Bottles, rusty old pick up trucks
Oh, at last call the lights go up
And it's all because of people like us

'Cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, longneck
Bottles, rusty old pick up trucks
Oh, at last call the lights go up
And it's all because of people like us

"Prisoner Of The Highway"

"Prisoner Of The Highway"


Diesel power, eighteen wheels to rollin'
As I pull it on to the interstate
I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
And I don't want to stop to check my weight
Won't be no sleep for me tonight, no
Gotta be hittin' Tulsa by first mornin' light

Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

I've run freight out of Wheeling West Virginia
And U.S. Steel from Bethlehem
And I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolinas
California winds into Birmingham
Some people work just to survive
But up here in this cab
Is the only time I'm alive

I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

I've got a wife livin' back in Tennessee
Ronnie, she tries to understand the way I feel (Lord, have mercy)
Now I could give my hand to another line of work
But my heart would always be behind the wheel

Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

Don't ya know

I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

We're prisoners of the highway (that's right)
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
Yeah, we are prisoners of the highway (one more time)
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road

"Read Between The Lines"

"Read Between The Lines"


I've got some mighty tall tales from livin' hard and fast
I'm a walkin',' talkin',' livin',' breathin,' portrait of my past
I've double-crossed the devil, prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Escaped some early graves by the skin of my teeth
All the deepest secrets of my soul the world can plainly see
'Cause everything I've ever done is written all over me

If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine
Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art
That reminds me of mistakes that I've made
And no story I can tell can tell it quite as well
As these souvenirs that livin's left behind
So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book
And read between the lines
And read between the lines

They might be hard to find on this rigid face of stone
There are pleasant deep impressions that are solid as gold
And I'll be the first to tell you that this ol' boy's been blessed
'Cause even the worst of times have turned out for the best
Like roads on a map they cross a battered stretch of skin
You can trace your way through memory lane to anywhere I've been

If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine
Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art
That reminds me of mistakes that I've made
And no story I can tell can tell it quite as well
As these souvenirs that livin's left behind
So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book
And read between the lines
And read between the lines

"Ready To Rock (In A Country Kinda Way)"

"Ready To Rock (In A Country Kinda Way)"


Well, I've done it every way they say it oughta be done,
But if I can't be me, well, it ain't much fun
So I bowed out; said: "I gotta go"
"Gotta crank it on up, I got to free my soul"
So it's back to my roots an' startin' today,
I'm a-ready rock in a country kinda way

Ready to rock (All night long)
Yeah, ready to rock (Till the cows come home)
Well, it's the same ol' me, so don't be afraid:
I'm just a-ready to rock in a country kinda way

This time I got a guitar that you gotta plug in,
An' a stack of screamin' amps twisted way past ten
I'm havin' a ball an' to tell you the truth,
I'm back to makin' music like I always do
I got Conway an' Jones flowin' through my veins,
An' I'm ready rock in a country kinda way

Ready to rock (All night long)
Yeah, ready to rock (Till the cows come home)
Well, it's the same ol' me, so don't be afraid:
I'm just a-ready to rock in a country kinda way

(All right boys, c'mon let's play a little)

(Ah, do it again, go on do it again)

Hey, I don't think ol' Hank'd mind if I done it this way:
Ready to rock in a country kinda way

Ready to rock (All night long)
Yeah, I'm a-ready to rock (Till the cows come home)
Hey, it's the same ol' me, so don't be afraid:
I'm just a-ready to rock;
Yeah, I'm ready to rock;
I'm ready to rock, rock, rock, rock in a country kinda way

(Now, ain't that pretty?)

"Roll On"

"Roll On"


Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

Well it's Monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye
He's up and gone with the sun
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And he's off on a midwest run
As three sad faces gather 'round momma
They ask her when daddy's comin' home
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do)

Ah, but he calls them every night and he tells them that he loves them
He taught them this song to sing

Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on)

Well it's Wednesday evening, momma's waitin' by the phone
It rings but it's not his voice
Seems the highway patrol has found a jack-knifed rig
In a snow bank in Illinois

But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned
For the weather had everything stalled
And they had checked all the houses and the local motels
When they had some more news they'd call
And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him
And she hung up the phone singin'

Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on

Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long
Thinkin' nothing but the worst is comin'
With the ringin' of the telephone
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
When momma asked him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end
Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin'

Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler

Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on)

Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Roll on
Roll on
Roll on
Roll on

"Run Rudolph Run"

"Run Rudolph Run"


Out of all the reindeer, you know that you're the mastermind
So run run Rudolph, you're running way too far behind

I said run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph, a-reeling like a merry go round

Said Santa to the boy child what would you be longing for
He said, all I want for Christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar
And away went Rudolph whizzing like a shooting star

Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph, a-reeling like a merry go round

Said Santa to the girl child what would you be supposed to get
She said, I want a little baby doll that can cry sleep drink and wet
Then away went Rudolph whizzing like a Saber jet

Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph, a-reeling like a merry go round

Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run Rudolph run

"She Feels Like A Brand New Man Tonight"

"She Feels Like A Brand New Man Tonight"


Her last lonely teardrop fell
Along about nine o'clock
His memory was history
Before she hit the parking lot
She busted through them swingin' doors
Sashaying to and fro
She's got a new attitude yes she's over that dude
And she wants the world to know that

(Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight
She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry
She's through throwing good love away
On some boy that don't treat her right
She feels like a brand new man tonight

Just like a kid in a candy store
She's checking out the merchandise
But she wants to find the keeping kind
Who will keep her satisfied

And he's gotta be strong gotta be tough
And he's gotta have a tender touch
So if you fit the bill brother don't sit still
Come on step right up 'cause

(Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight
She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry
She's through throwing good love away
On some boy that don't treat her right
She feels like a brand new man tonight

(Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight
She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry
She's through throwing good love away
On some boy that don't treat her right
She feels like a brand new man tonight

I said she feels like a brand new man tonight

"She Made A Man Out Of A Mountain Of Stone"

"She Made A Man Out Of A Mountain Of Stone"


Now once I stood like a mountain high
Cold and rough and no sign of life
Didn't need no one didn't want no love
Yeah, but that was before I felt her touch

She made a man out of a mountain of stone
What the whole world couldn't change
She did all alone
She polished up the good
And she chipped away the wrong
She made a man out of a mountain of stone
She made a man out of a mountain of stone

With a willing heart and patient hands
She poured her love on a hopeless man
Oh, the doubters laughed they couldn't see
And now they stare in disbelieve

She made a man out of a mountain of stone
What the whole world couldn't change
She did all alone
She polished up the good
And then she chipped away the wrong
She made a man out of a mountain of stone
She made a man out of a mountain of stone

Now I ain't perfect by any means
But I suit her and that suits me
Hey, I'm a miracle of a woman's love
And I'll be her rock till I turn to dust

She made a man out of a mountain of stone
What the whole world couldn't change
She did all alone
She polished up the good
And then she chipped away the wrong
She made a man out of a mountain of stone
She made a man out of a mountain of stone
