"That Ain't No Way To Go"

"That Ain't No Way To Go"


Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
Said, "Goodbye, baby." You left with no warning
Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart
I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream
You always said we had a good thing
You never once let on we were falling apart

That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
After all this time, that ain't no way to go

Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking
Guess I'll do a little wishful dreaming
And make a whiskey wish upon a star
Train whistle blowing down the tracks
Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back
It's such a cold blow from out of the dark

That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
After all this time, that ain't no way to go

"That's What She Gets For Loving Me"

"That's What She Gets For Loving Me"


She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then

She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things

[Chorus]
That's what she gets
That's what she gets
That's what she gets for loving me

At times I lay awake at night
Stare at her laying by my side
Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps
She can forever count on me

[Repeat Chorus]

Whatever turns her on
I'm here to do it
Till the day they write my name in stone
I'll live to prove it

[Repeat Chorus (2x)]

"The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker"
(feat. Jerry Jeff Walker)

"The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker"
(feat. Jerry Jeff Walker)



Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state

And I was young enough
To think I was good enough to be his opening act
And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke
And counted one, two, three
And I knew right there just breathing his air
What I wanted to be

Buckaroos and jaded lovers
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
Mothers who had raised a son so well
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
Singing about to come back home and
Most likely too far gone to get there

Hey, Kix, that was 76
That was just enough beer to get us through the set
And get as high as our crowd
We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go
You're out of your mind; you'll never make it on time
Why not just have another round

Oh, we were trying get paid
Just trying to get laid
Living on love
Sleeping on the stage
Just turn another page
Never thinking we'd ever grow up

Buckaroos and jaded lovers
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
Mothers who had raised a son so well
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
Singing about to come back home and
Most likely too far gone to get there

Well, the way I recall the 70's
We were down in Austin and the establishment were
Saying we were wasting our time
The next thing I know
We were making more money than we could count
We're all being sued by the IRS
And having more fun than the law allowed

Yeah, I'm talking loners and stoners
And sing about to come back home
And most likely too far gone to get there.
Yeah, they were all most likely too far gone to get there

Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Tools of the trade son

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Ev'rybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"
"Merry Christmas to you"

"The Fightin' Side Of Me"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

"The Fightin' Side Of Me"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, Ye All,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about these liberal guys,
Who claims, he don't believe in fightin'.
I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, Ye All,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

"The Last Thing I Do"

"The Last Thing I Do"


I've been livin' on truck stop coffee, cigarettes and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide-n-seek
I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline

[CHORUS]

If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do

Box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I outta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home

[CHORUS]

[BREAK]

Yeah I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline

[CHORUS]

If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do

I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
Dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you

"The Long Goodbye"

"The Long Goodbye"


I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill

[CHORUS]

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over?-let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer

[CHORUS]

Long goodbye
Long goodbye

"The Long Haul"

"The Long Haul"


We got the radio up, got the tailgate down
Peacherman waiting at the church downtown
My baby's riding shotgun, dressed in white
Got a ring, got a suit, we gonna do it up right

Getting in it for the long haul
Yeah, getting in it for the long haul

With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul

Got everything we own in the back of that truck
Pocketful of dreams and a full tank of love
Two months down on a little farmhouse
It may not look like a whole lot now

Getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
We gettin' in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again

With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul

Yeah, my daddy taught me like his daddy did him
Life is like a river that we all gotta swim
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Be a little something for you on the other side

We getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Getting in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again

Yeah, we in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Hey, we in it for the long
All day, every day and back again

Yeah we in it for the long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again

Long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again

"The Trouble With Angels"

"The Trouble With Angels"


Alone here tonight, lookin' up at the sky
Wonderin' how I let her go
Did I hold her too tight, heaven only knows
A bottle of wine, a day in the sunshine
Seems like we shared everything
Yeah I felt her love but I never saw her wings

And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels

Wherever you are, no matter how far
I hope you'll always understand
I'm savin' you a soft place to land
It's crazy I know talkin' like you're still so close
But the memory endures
Are you listenin', I never know for sure

And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels

That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
She'll fly

"Till My Dyin' Day"

"Till My Dyin' Day"


Sometimes I think about how lucky I am
To live where I do, to be what I can
And to know that you're mine when I'm holding you close
And to never forget
What matters the most
I'm gonna run with the wind behind me
Have fun when the sun is shining
Stop when the world reminds me
Got to take the time to pray

[Chorus]
Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
Live with you beside me
Oh, till my dyin' day

As long as we are here, you know I'll always be there
If we're down to nothing we've still, sill got so much to share
I know I've been givin' way more than I deserve
I'm gonna live every day like it was my last
Baby, I'll always put you first

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm gonna walk on the road less traveled
Yeah, sit tall in the saddle
Know when I pick my battles
Not to be afraid

Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
And live with you beside me
Till my dyin' day

[Repeat Chorus]
