"Hit The Road Jack"

"Hit The Road Jack"

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more
(Oh what'd you say)
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

Oh woman oh woman oh you treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Hit the road Jack...

Now baby listen baby don't you treat me this a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do cause it's understood
You ain't got no money and you ain't no good
Well I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Hit the road Jack...

"Hold To My Unchanging Love"

"Hold To My Unchanging Love"

When you're tempted by another
Who could thrill you through and through
Think of all the love I'm giving
Love I'll share with only you.

Hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.

There are men who long to hold you
And they'll promise you the world
Don't be fooled by all their woeing
I want you to be my girl.

Baby, hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.

Baby, Won't you hold to my unchanging love...

"Honky Tonk Man"

"Honky Tonk Man"

Well, I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox.

But when my moneys all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollerin' hey hey mama
Can your daddy come home?

It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I want to lay my money down
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man.

Well, I'm living fast and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man...

"Honky Tonk Song"

"Honky Tonk Song"

Got me room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinnin' and didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to go to sleep
A band kept a playin' in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and a shaken my bed.

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong.

I turned and I tossed
And I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a playin'
With a honky tonk beat.

I'm so blue my baby's gone she took all my money
And she left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leakin' through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and a shaken my bed.

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong.

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong...

"Hound Dog"

"Hound Dog"

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, a-baby
Cryin' around my door
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, a-baby
Cryin' around my door
You've been doin' me wrong, a-baby
You ain't my friend no more

Don't call me, you're a hot dog, a-baby

Don't call me, you're a hot dog, a-baby

"House Of The Rising Sun"

"House Of The Rising Sun"

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans

I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one

In the house of the Rising Sun

"House On Old Lonesome Road"

"House On Old Lonesome Road"

Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.

When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.

I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.

We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.

It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.

I used to love that old house so much
Back before she went away
Now everything there is just gathering dust,
I should clean it up if I'm going to stay.

I don't have too much time anymore,
I'm too busy talking to ghosts,
'Cause her memory, keeps me compay,
In that house on old lonesome road.

It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.

Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five, been
Doing my best to forget about her,
But she's driving me out of my mind...

"How Far Can We Go"

"How Far Can We Go"

Oh, how far can we go,
You and me doin' this?

We're doin' the things that only sinners do
But I can't keep my mind off of you
We made a mistake one night and didn't quit
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?

We're strangers by day and lovers by night
And I feel like a thief when I hold you tight
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?

Lovin' like there's no tomorrow or past
We're takin' the backroad, go and go out fast
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?

So how far can we go, you and me me
And you everyday all the time doin' this?..

"How Much More Can She Stand"

"How Much More Can She Stand"

There's a devil in my body
That I just can't satisfy
Other women haunt me
Even though I love my wife.

It's because I really love her,
I try to save her heart with lies
But I know she knows
I can see it in her eyes.

I try to stay at home, love only her,
Play with the kids and watch T.V.
But then my mind becomes unsure
About the kind of love I need.

My reasons for cheating
There as good as lies can be
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?

It's so hard for me to call her
I can hardly dial the phone
I did wrong again last night,
Now I just want to go back home.

She knows that I lied,
Lord, she'll cry where I can't see
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?

How much more can she stand
And still stand my me?..

"Hungry Eyes"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

"Hungry Eyes"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
With two hard working hands.

To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better
And my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize.

That another class of people
Put us somewhere just below
One more reason for my mama's
Hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes...
