"Goodbye Time"

"Goodbye Time"


It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything

You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years

"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

"Got My Mojo Working"

"Got My Mojo Working"


I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Yeah, I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I want to love you so bad I don't know what to do

I'm goin' down to Louisiana, gonna get me a mojo hand
Goin' down to Louisiana, gonna get me a mojo hand
Gonna have all you women right here at my command

Yeah, I got my mojo working, I got my mojo working
I got my mojo working, I got my mojo working
Oh, I got my mojo working but it just won't work on you

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got bad foot tricks, I got to keep that chick on ice

Yeah, I got my mojo working, I got my mojo working
I got my mojo working, I got my mojo working
Oh, I got my mojo working but it just won't work on you...

"Grand Ole Blues"

"Grand Ole Blues"


I sure am gonna miss them old twin fiddle
I love to sing them good ole country songs
But my whole world's a blue eyed girl in Memphis
And I'd be down there with her for too long
Midnight train to Memphis take me easy
Let me look back on the things I'm gonna lose
Nashville will never know I'm leaving
And it gives a country boy them grand ole blues

I wish I had my old guitar to play
I feel some good ole mem'ry fade away

Oh Lord I see the main street lights of Memphis
And that woman leaves me shaking in my shoes
Oh woman's lips will kiss me her loving arms will hold me
And help me make it through these grand ole blues

But Lord I'm gonna miss them old twin fiddle
And it gives a country boy the grand ole blues
Her love is waitin' there in Memphis
And don't youw it leaves me shaking in my shoes
Oh woman's lips will kiss me her loving arms will hold me
And help me make it through these grand ole blues
Oh Lord I see the main street...

"Grandest Lady Of Them All"

"Grandest Lady Of Them All"


She's never in the spotlights
But everybody knows that she's the star
And once she shines upon you
She'll make you truly proud of where you are.

She'll wipe away the pain of all the dues she had to pay
When the curtain to her world starts to unfold
With mother tender hand she will applaud
And feed the hunger in your soul.

And she's known as the Grand Ole Opry
Where the legend come to call
She's the queen of country music
She's the grandest lady of them all.

She sings of desperados
And lonesome whistle love and midnight train
And the coal mines of Kentucky
And how it feels to be out in the rain.

She sings of Texas cowboys of hoboes and the heroes
And the loneliness up where and prison blues
But most of all she sings about
The common people just like me and you.

And she's known as the Grand Ole Opry
Where the legend come to call
She's the queen of country music
She's the grandest lady of them all...

"Great Balls Of Fire"

"Great Balls Of Fire"


You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Kiss me baby....mmmmm...feels good
Hold me baby
Well, I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Well, kiss me baby...mmmmm...feels good
Hold me baby
Well, I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

"Green Eyes"

"Green Eyes"


It's not easy
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.

You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.

This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.

You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.

You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"


The old hometown
Looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me
Was my mama and my papa.

And down the road
I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms areached and smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree
That I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk
With my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.

Then I awoke
And look around me
To the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard
And there's a sad old padre, arm in arm
We'll walk at daybreak
Then again I'll touch the
Green, green grass of home.

They'll all come to see me
in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the
Green, green grass of home...

"Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart"

"Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart"


I saw her and told myself she was my dream come true
Let my eyes decieve me from the start
They told me I wanted her more than I wanted you
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.

Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.

I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin
Made me think that I could love her true
Now she stands out in the cold my heart won't let her in
There was only room enough for you.

Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...

"Half As Much"

"Half As Much"


If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down.

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you.

I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you.

"Halfway To Heaven"

"Halfway To Heaven"


We're halfway to heaven
Don't leave me, now

The angels are singing
Your lips are so near
The bells are ringing
And all 'cause you're hear
Now we're halfway to heaven
Darlin' stay, say you'll stay, with me.

Your heavenly kisses
Could take me there
Oh, don't leave me stranded
My hearts in midair
Now we're halfway to heaven
Darlin' stay, say you'll stay, with me.

Oh, don't you know
The closer you hold me
The closer we'll be
The gates of heaven
Are now in sight
If you really love me
You'll be there tonight
Oh, we're halfway to heaven
Darlin' stay, say you'll stay, with me.

Oh, don't you know
The closer you hold me
The closer we'll be
The gates of heaven
Are now in sight
If you really love me
You'll be there tonight
Oh, we're halfway to heaven
Darlin' stay, say you'll stay, with me

With me...
