Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love

Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love

Don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha fight the feelings of love
'Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of
So reach out your hand, take in all the sunshine from above
Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

A boy and a girl in a big spinning world
Upside down in love from the start
Sunny days and laughing skies true love in both their eyes
Spending happy good times in the park

Learning all about living, taking and the giving
Love is growing stronger every day
Well now never be another 'cause they're trusting each other
Good love seems to just work out that way

I said now don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha fight the feelings of love
'Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of
So reach out your hand, take in all the sunshine from above
Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

Don't fight the feelings, don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

Down On The Farm

Down On The Farm

Looking back a hundred years
On daughters and sons of the land
Who're standing here, holding a fistful of dirt
Watching it slip through my hands

See the fields of sweat and tears
Where we labored in love
We cursed the wind and we prayed for rain
But never thought of giving it up

Oh, down on the farm
Oh, somebody's dreams are ending
When a way of life can be auctioned off
There's more than one fence that needs bending

It looks like to me, this country still needs
A muscle and two strong arms
If we can send a man up to the moon
We can keep a man down on the farm

Staring out of this factory window
Trying to make sense of it all
I remember on this very spot, corn standing ten feet tall
America, America, who do we blame it on?
It was only the family fund, who really cares if it's gone

Oh, down on the farm
Oh, somebody's dreams are ending
When a way of life can be auctioned off
There's more than one fence that needs bending

It looks like to me, this country still needs
A muscle and two strong arms
If we can send a man up to the moon
We can keep a man down on the farm
America, America, who do we blame it on?

Easy Part's Over

Easy Part's Over

The easy part's over now
It's time to cry
The easiest part of all
Was saying goodbye

The easy part's over now
And you are gone
Now comes the hardest part
Living alone

Time is the only friend
That I have left here with me
But can those healing hands of time
Erase your memory

The easy part's over now
We've come to the end
The easy part's over now
And the hard part begins

Time is the only friend
That I have left here with me
But can those healing hands of time
Erase your memory

The easy part's over now
We've come to the end
The easy part's over now
And the hard part begins

Even After Everything She's Done

Even After Everything She's Done

Yesterday tomorrow seemed a million years away
But here it is just twenty four hours later and I find that I still miss someone
I said I could despise her by the dawn of another day
But there's the sun and I don't hate her even after everything she's done
I convice myself I'd get her off my mind
A good night sleep and things would be all right
But I woke up this morning and now I realize that I can't forget her over night
I've tried to make myself believe that I'm much better off
I've told myself she's nothing special and I still find that she's the only one
And if I'd live a million years I know I'd never change
I'd take her back and I'd forgive her even after everything she's done
Even after everything she's done even after everything she's done

Fifteen Years Ago

Fifteen Years Ago

I saw a man today who said he talked to you not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind raced back in time I prayed oh Lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
Makes a mighty strong love to keep a man thinking of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
[ steel ]
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
Promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy and so far she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
Takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

Folsom Prison Blues

Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[ guitar ]
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're prob'ly drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me
But if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay
And I'll let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Fools

Fools

Fools never learn you play with fire and you gonna get burn
You and I are fools we play with love so we gonna get burn
Fools that's what we are fools we've gone too far I know
But then love you come to me your eyes on fire you tempted me
Love knows no bound beggar or king it'll bring you down
Fools find love somehow fools we can't stop now I know
But then love this I know fool I may be I can't let go
Love this I know fool I may be I can't let you go fool I may be I can't let you go

Footprints In The Sands Of Time

Footprints In The Sands Of Time

The strange lonely whistle of the distant movin' train
Breaks the silence of the gray winter skies
As I walk with my belongings down the road I'd never seen
While the bitter wind brings teardrops to my eyes
Oh where will I be when tomorrow weakens me am I looking for a dream I'll never find
Will I ever be the man I want to be or forgotten footprints in the sands of time

As I'm walking down the road my thoughts keep running back to you
And I hope it's in your heart to understand
Though you never made me sorry for the love I gave to you
I'm just sorry that I'm not your kind of man
Oh where will I be...
[ rh.guitar ]
Oh where will I be...

Georgia Keeps Pulling On My Ring

Georgia Keeps Pulling On My Ring

Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring
Most men would give their right off or anything they own
To have a woman just like you to be waiting when they come home
But the devil made me cheat on you one too many times
And honey I'm sorry but she left heaven on my mind
Georgia sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring
I need her and I love her Lord she's a sweet and precious thing
Her sweet and easy loving Lord beats all I've ever seen
Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

I didn't want to fall in love with anybody else
But when I tasted heaven Lord I just couldn't help myself
I pray someday that you'll forget and forgive me for everything
But I just can't seem to love you with Georgia pulling on my ring
Georgia sweet Georgia...
Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

Give A Lonely Heart A Home

Give A Lonely Heart A Home

Well could that look I see on you mean that you might be lonely too
Well you don't have to feel so bad you're not the only one that's sad
Just look at all the hearts in town you're looking for the lost and found
For someone special just like you might come along and give a lonely heart a home
Just give a lonely heart a home one it can call its very own
And you can have true love from this moment on just give a lonely heart a home

Well just look close and you might find the saddest heart in town is mine
And should we give true love a try our hearts just might see eye to eye
So if you're looking for a way to do your good deed for today
The one thing you could do and not go wrong is give a lonely heart a home
So just give a lonely heart a home...
