"Angel From Montgomery"

"Angel From Montgomery"


I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old

If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house woulda burnt down
A long time ago

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
Well I had me a cowboy
It weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
Those years just flow by
Like a broken down dam

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
And come home in the evenin'
And have nothin' to say

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

"Any Day Woman"

"Any Day Woman"


If you don't love her you'd better let her go
You'll never fool her you're bound to let it show
Love's so hard to take when you have to fake
Everything in return
You just preserve her
When you serve her a little tenderness.

If she's a woman she'll try to make it last
If you're a man now you'd better end it fast
There's no reason here, no treason here
Just the way a womans mind
Well she has no name, she has no shame
She just loves you

It's not easy to undo what's done
Or to speak too freely to just anyone
And if this takes more than you bargained for
Boy it's time you learned
Not to talk so loud, not to walk so proud
When you're comin' on.

"Baby Come Back"

"Baby Come Back"


Come back
Baby come back

Come back
Baby come back

This is the first time until today
That you have gone away
I'm asking you for the first time
Love me and love that stay

Stay, stay, stay, Yeeeah

Come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back

There is no use in crying
Because I'm more hurt than you
I shouldn't have been a virgin
But now my love is true

Uh, (yeah), uh, (all right), uh, yeah

Come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back

Come back baby, don't you leave me
Baby baby don't you go
I want you to give me a second chance
You know I love you so (yeah)

Oh (all right), oh (come out), oh yeah

Come back
I said, baby come back
I said, baby come back
I said, baby come back

Oh, won't you please come back (auh)

Come back
Baby come back
I said, baby come back
Oh, won't you please come back

Come back (don't wait too long)
I said, baby come back (oh yes)
I said, baby come back
I said, baby come back

"Back Around"

"Back Around"


Turning into something
Drifting off to old ways
Got to pull myself back in

Holding back the questions
We're bruised with all rejection
Gotta pull myself back in

[Chorus:]
Suffer the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around

Come back around
I miss you around

Reaching out for someone
Burning out for so long
Got to pull myself back in
There's no new religion
And there's no real solution
Gotta pull myself back in

[Chorus 2x]

Come back around
Come back around

Feel you're going under
So keep on treading water
Got to pull myself back in
Feel no obligation
But no more indecision
Gotta pull myself back in

"Big Road"

"Big Road"


Well I ain't goin' down that big long lonesome road
Pretty baby don't you hear me talkin'
No I ain't goin' down that big road by myself
If I can't carrry you baby
I'm gonna get me someone else

Alright boys
Well the sun is gonna shine in my back door some
My back door some, my door someday
You know the sun is gonna shine in
My back door some day
That big wind is gonna come up and blow my blues away

Now if you don't want me baby
Now why don't you tell me
Now why don't you tell me, tell me so
If you don't want me baby why don't you tell me so
It ain't like I'm a woman who ain't got no place to go

Play it right now
Now what good is a bulldog, if he won't fuss or
He won't fuss or fight pretty baby
What good is a bulldog, if he won't fuss or fight.
And what good is a man can't make his wolf stay all night

"Blue For No Reason"

"Blue For No Reason"


When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?

Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason

"Bluebird"

"Bluebird"


Listen to my blue bird laugh she can tell you why,
Deep within her heart you see, she knows only right
Whoa-oo just light
There she sits this lofty bird the strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now she thinks only of you
Woo just you
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues, and each is differently used
You just know, you sit there mezmerized by the deepth of her eyes
And if you categorize she got soul, she got soul, she got soul

Soon she's gon' to fly away, her sadness is her own
Leave beside her bath of tears, she'll go home

"Bye Bye Baby"

"Bye Bye Baby"


Well, you took my heart
And you broke it apart
Why did a love, baby, yeah
Have to ever start?
You know you took my love
You threw it away
And you're gonna want
My love someday
Well, bye bye baby

Well, I thought your love
Was oh so true
And you made me, baby
Start lovin' you
And then you took my love
You threw it away
Well, you're gonna want
My love someday
So, bye bye baby

Well, your love was sweeter than
Any I know so
Don't come back runnin' or
Knockin' on my front door

Well, you said that I
Was your only girl
And that there was no other, yeah
In this whole wild world
Well, you took my love
You threw it away
Now you're gonna want
My love someday
Well, bye bye baby

"Can't Get Enough"

"Can't Get Enough"


Come on so tough
When you think you got a right
Make love so rough
Until I lose the will to fight
You got that somethin', baby
That turns my darkness into light
And I can't get enough of your love

I never found a man
Who took the time to see
The woman that I am
And not the one he hoped I'd be
And I think we're onto somethin'
And it's good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...

Aha haaa

Come on so tough
Baby, you know just how to please
You got that stuff
That brings this woman to her knees
I think we're onto somethin'
That is good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...
I just can't get enough of your...
And I just can't get enough of your love

Can't get enough of your love, aha
Can't get enough of your love
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love, aha
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love...

"Circle Dance"

"Circle Dance"


I don't know why it should be so hard
Giving up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Don't give love a chance

It's a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
I'm not her and you're not him
It just comes out that way

Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could

I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves

I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me

Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer noe
You did the best you could

Now that this has occured to me
I just want you to know
I've been too faithful all my life
It's time to let you go
