"How Long Gone"

"How Long Gone"


I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I aint seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be

Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be

The phone aint ringin', cause you still aint callin'
I aint been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be

"Hurt Train"

"Hurt Train"


Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
That whistle keeps blowin'
That high lonesome sound
It tells me where I'm goin'
Is gonna be a long way down

Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

Now here I sit loaded
Wondering what went wrong
The whiskey I can hold it
I just don't know how long
I'm out here on a hurt train

A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name

Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

Ain't no turnin' back

"Husbands And Wives"

"Husbands And Wives"


Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

"I Ain't Living Long Like This"
(originally by Rodney Crowell)

"I Ain't Living Long Like This"
(originally by Rodney Crowell)



You looked for trouble and you found it, son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run, but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they, baby
I ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston, off of Wayside drive
Son of a car hop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this

You live for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they, baby
I ain't living long like this

"I Am That Man"

"I Am That Man"


You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it's hard to be by yourself
You need someone that's tur and strong
Baby someone just came along

I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am

Talk is cheap, it ain't worth a dime
So don't talk to me, just five me some time
I'm gonna show you what love can be
My job won't be done until you believe

I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am that man

"I Can't Put Out This Fire"

"I Can't Put Out This Fire"


Seems like every time I call you
I'm standing in the pouring rain
I had another falling out with love
I'm back out on the streets again
I could us a cup of coffee
But I guess I better pass this time
But you could do an old friend a favor
While I'm still on the line

I know you said it's over
But this old heart's still burning with desire
So tell me one more time
You don't love me anymore
You gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

It's good to hear your voice again
I can almost see your smile
It's good to talk about old times
If only for a little while
Guess I'll go on back to my place
There's not much else for me to do
I wish that I could close my eyes
Without dreaming of you

I know you said it's over
But this old heart's still burning with desire
So tell me one more time
You don't love me anymore
You gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

Oh you gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire
No, no, you gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

"I Love You More"

"I Love You More"


You've stood too long with your tears in the doorway
I guess I've run out of the right things to say
You've made up your mind that he'll make you happy
I don't have the heart to stand in your way
Maybe tonight you think you're in love
But baby tomorrow when you wake up

Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

I was the one that told you he loved you
You were afraid you couldn't be loved
I was the one who you could believe
Would never leave when times got tough
I'll never say I told you so
But take this with you when you go

Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

Yeah he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
Oh he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more

"I May Never Get Over You"

"I May Never Get Over You"


Not that long ago, seems like yesterday,
We were caught up in love... we were swept away.
Seems like overnight from out of the blue,
Something went wrong between me an' you.

Oh, I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you'll always have my heart...
I may never get over you.

A hopeless dream's insanity...
I'm just a fool with a fantasy.
I close my eyes, I feel your touch,
Just as real as it ever was.

I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you're always on my heart...
I may never get over you.

[Instrumental break]

Yeah, I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you're always on my heart...
I may never get over you.

"I Used To Know This Song By Heart"

"I Used To Know This Song By Heart"


I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

[Chorus]
I sued to sing this song to you
For days and days
In so many different manners
In so many different ways
I used to think this dream we had
Could never come apart
And I used to know this song by heart

[Repeat Chorus]

So when I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"


I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
