"When I'm Gone"

"When I'm Gone"



Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone
Will anything that I've done here live on
Every man's allowed just so much time
And all you take along is what you leave behind.

Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Oh, will anybody know I've been here
When I'm gone?

Will anybody cry just a little bit when I'm gone
Will anybody cry just a little bit when I'm gone
Will the things I've tried so hopefully
All turn to dust alongside of me?

Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Oh, will anybody know I've been here
When I'm gone?

Will anybody think about me when I'm gone
Will anybody ever remember me when I'm gone
Will they call me failure or success
Did I really live or just exist?

Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
Oh, will anybody know I've been here
When I'm gone?

Will anybody know I've been here, when I'm gone?

"When I've Learned Enough To Die"

"When I've Learned Enough To Die"



I have met the Master on my knees, been tested and I've tried
And I've seen the God of heaven paint the fields and the country side
I've been the husband of one wife, heard my newborn baby cry
But when I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die, old enough to die.

I'm just a plain hard working man, no stopping place have I found
Although I'm tired I'm still inspired at night when I lie down
I've learned to like it on God's earth but I sometimes I wonder why
When I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die old enough to die.

When I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die old enough to die...

"When Love Is Gone"

"When Love Is Gone"



Spring could come, you'd never show it
Love could come, you'd never know it
Life has drawn so many tears from your eyes
You've been used then lost the user
You've been branded as a loser
Where did all the sincere people go?

When love is gone it will not return
The river's full of your tears the bridges have been burned
Someone took your four leaf clover all your lucky days are over
That's the way you feel when love is gone.

Nights're long dawn is heartless quiet heartaches in the darkness
How could scars so deep still plainly show
All the old dreams so delicious all the news came so suspicious
Where did all the simple pleasures go.

When love is gone it will not return
The river's full of your tears the bridges have been burned
Someone took your four leaf clover all your lucky days are over
That's the way you feel when love is gone...

"When The Wind Blows In Chicago"

"When The Wind Blows In Chicago"



Well here I am in Chicago all alone near the place where we met
I walk through the rain the wind whispers your name oh why won't they let me forget
Cause when the wind blows I get lonely and one day for sure you left behind
But the wind always blows in Chicago so I'm lonely most all of the time
Folks looks so happy on State Street they don't know that our love's not the same
There's a crowd all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the wind when it whispers your name
And when the wind blows I get lonely and one day for sure you left behind
But the wind always blows in Chicago so I'm lonely most all of the time
Yes I'm lonely most all of the time

"Wher'd I Come From"

"Wher'd I Come From"



Mama where'd I come from
Did they give me to you free
Did you buy me in a boystore
Mama, where'd you find me?

Well Bobby
I found you in a smile
And the gentleness
Hidden in your daddy's eyes.

Freddie said a bird came
And left me in a tree
Mama, where'd I come from
That don't sound right to me?

Well, I'll tell you darling,
God in all his sweetness
Smiled on us yes he did
Then an angel and brought you on
The wings of love.

Did a doctor bring me
Like John said he did
And if a doctor brought me
Where'd they get kids?

Well sweetheart can you keep a secret
Hmmm well, just between a mother and her son
I'll tell ye you were born of love
And that's where you came from.

Well Bobby, now do you know
Where you came from, yes where, love...

"Where Have All The Seasons Gone"

"Where Have All The Seasons Gone"



Dear mom and dad I'm writing you to say I found a job
It's a good job I don't go to work till nine
If my old car holds up I guess I'll be home for the Fourth
Don't worry bout me everything is fine
That was 1952, where have all the seasons gone?

Dear dad remember Peggy we were married Friday night
I'll bring her home to see you when I can
We took some pictures at the wedding I'll enclose the few
And the money that you wanted me to send
That was 1953, where have all the seasons gone?

Dear Uncle Ray I thank you for the Christmas card you sent
The kids enjoyed the pretty toys you bought
Congratulations, awful sad that you retired last week
And that you are living in a trailer park
That was 1963, where have all the seasons gone?

Yesterday I got a letter from that oldest boy of mine
He said that he was doing fine in school
He said if his old car holds up he'll be home for the Fourth
He said don't you worry papa things are cool
That was yesterday, now tell me where have all the seasons gone?...

"Which One Is To Blame"

"Which One Is To Blame"


[Bobby & Liz & Norma]

I wonder which one of us is to blame?

The nicest thing that's come my way is you
But I cannot offer you my heart or name
Oh, it isn't fair to do me like you do
I wonder which one of us is to blame?

Somehow I can't blame myself
Although I guess I should
And I can't place the blame on you
I would have if I could.

We've made ourselves the gossip of the town
The things we've done can only bring us shame
We've let our passion drag our honor down
I wonder which one of us is to blame?

Your nearness makes me tremble with desire
Your ruby red lips set my soul aflame
But for you I'd be a beggar thief or liar
I wonder which one of us is to blame?

Somehow I can't blame myself
Although I guess I should
And I can't place the blame on you
I would have if I could.

I wonder which one of us is to blame?...

"White Freight Liner Blues"

"White Freight Liner Blues"



I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
Goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

New Mexico ain't bad Lord and the people there they treat you kind
New Mexico ain't bad Lord and the people there they treat you kind
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

Bad news from Houston half of all my friends are dyin'
Bad news from Houston half of all my friends are dyin'
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back to where I came
I said Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back to where I came
White freight liner won't you haul away my mind.

If you see Miss Carolina tell her that I'm doin' fine
If you see Miss Carolina tell her that I'm doin' fine
White freight liner won't you haul away my mind.

I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
Goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

"Wife Of The Party"

"Wife Of The Party"


[Liz]

We both know a certain party
I won't mention any names
But you think you love this party
Who's brought me so much pain.

I don't know what he's told you
But I'll bet you think he's free
Wellm I'm the wife of this party
And he still belongs to me.

I'm the wife of the party
You go out with every night
I'm the wife of the party
Who holds you so tight.

In the arms of this party
You don't have the right to be
For the wife of the party is me.

When you look this certain party
He's a laughing boy I know
He's the life of every party
You should see him when he's home.

Always tired, always sleeping
Resting up to be with you
I should just let you keep him
But you see I love him too.

I'm the wife of the party
I'm the wife of the party
You go out with every night
I'm the wife of the party
Who holds you so tight.

In the arms of this party
You don't have the right to be
For the wife of the party is me.

Yes, the wife of the party is me...

"Wild As The Wind"

"Wild As The Wind"



On that first day of March the day that she was born
Wild as the wind was on the Friday morn
They all say that she looked evil even then
When her daddy smiled and said that she looked wild as the wind.

The fourteen summers passed and she blossomed like a flower
Wild as the wind she grew prettier by the hour
Then one day she found out she could break the minds of men
She became a woman child wild as the wind.

Lips as sweet as honey and so eager to please
She comes and she goes just like a summer breeze
I've been beneath her magic spell I know I'll go again
Gotta have that woman child wild as the wind.

Gotta have that woman child wild as the wind.
Gotta have that woman child wild as the wind...
