"Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too"

"Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too"

It's like I always figured
You'd be gone from me so soon
A heartache would be the outcome
And I'd be singing this lonely tune

Your friends all tell me your happy now
And how good she's treating you
It looks to be the perfect love
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

"Too Late To Cry"

"Too Late To Cry"

Sitting all alone with my whisky on ice,
I wonder why he's not with me tonight.
If the rain be on tonight then I won't sleep.
I'm haunted by this loneliness I keep.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

It doesn't seem much point in us carrying on,
We pretend to cry but the feelings are gone.
I hear the death man has lost his mate,
The silence that follows him tells me about our fate.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

Empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes,
The dimness it has giving me won't let me realize.
That love is more or less the state of mind we go through,
with no guarantee to what it holds me or you.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

"Trampled Rose"

"Trampled Rose"

Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren

Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday

I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose

Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around

You never pay just once
To get the job done

What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?

In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves

A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose

"Two Highways"

"Two Highways"

Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose
Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose
There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one, which road will take me home

In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice

Perils, there are many, as I set out on my way
If I lose your love I know that I can call it back someday
Rambler, lonely rambler, just 'cause anyplace is home
Nashville, lights how you have always shined

Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say
But the mornin' came and we both knew my eyes gave it away
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell
And you can't draw water from an empty well

In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice

"When God Dips His Pen Of Love In My Heart"

"When God Dips His Pen Of Love In My Heart"

When God dips His love in my heart

When God dips His pen of love in my heart
And He writes my soul a message He wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine
When God dips His love in my heart

Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find Him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul

Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way
And gave His life completely to bring a better day
My life was steeped in sin but in love He took me in
His blood washed away every stain

I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

"When You Say Nothing At All"

"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

"Whenever I Call You Friend"
(with Michael Johnson)

"Whenever I Call You Friend"
(with Michael Johnson)

Whenever I call you "Friend"
I begin to think I understand,
Anything we are
You and I have always been,
Ever and ever.

I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do
Always takes me home to you
Ever and ever.

Now I know my life has given me more than memories

Day by day,
We can see...
In every moment there's a reason to carry on.

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it right.

Whenever I call you "Friend"
I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are
You and I were meant to be
Ever and ever.

I think about the times to come,
Knowing I will be the lucky one...

Ever our love will last
I always want to call you "Friend."

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it right.
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.

I've never seen such a beautiful sight.

See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doin' it, doin' it...
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it...
Right.

"Whiskey Lullaby"
(feat. Brad Paisley)

"Whiskey Lullaby"
(feat. Brad Paisley)

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

[1st Chorus]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[Sing lullaby]

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

[2nd Chorus]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

"Who Can Blame You"

"Who Can Blame You"

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You justify yourself in your love for someone else
When you say, I never loved you anyway
Your vows were made in vain, although my love still remains
Though you broke my heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

In a heart of rusty steel you kept your love affair concealed
'Til the day she was asking you to stay
You turned your head from the tears I've shed
Though you broke a heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

"Wild Bill Jones"

"Wild Bill Jones"

As I went now for to take a little walk,
I came upon that Wild Bill Jones
He was a'walkin' and a'talkin' by my true lover's side
And I bid him to leave her alone

He said my age is 21, too old to be controlled
I pulled my revolver from my side,
And I destroyed that poor boy's soul

He reeled and he staggered and he fell to the ground
And then he gave one dying moan
He wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck,
Sayin' "Honey won't ya take me home?"

So put them handcuffs on me boys,
And lead me to that freight-car gate
I have no friends or relations there,
No one for to go my bail

So pass around that ole long-neck bottle
And we'll all go on a spree:
Today saw the last of Wild Bill Jones,
And tomorrow'll be the last of me.
