"Other Woman In My Life"

"Other Woman In My Life"


Don't accuse me of being without feelings
If you do you know that you're wrong
For it was you who was careless
and you drove me into another's arms.

The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life.

I'm afloat in the middle of a river
and I can't climb out on either side
If I go over the deep end
it's because, sweetheart, you haven't tried.

The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life...

"Our Conscience You And Me"

"Our Conscience You And Me"


Ah, your warm lips are inviting as they tremble with desire
And everytime I see you it adds more fuel to the fire
And again we'll share the love that's shouldn't be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.

But our patiences are stronger then the will to do what's right
While someone else waits at home we'll meet again tonight
Then I'll hold you close and love you tenderly
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.

While hiding in the shadows our love blooms at night
Though we know it's wrong we still go on
We've lost control of all that's right
But if the love's so strong this wrong, why should it be
Just between the three of us, our conscience, you and me...

"Over Thirty (Not Over The Hill)"

"Over Thirty (Not Over The Hill)"


She woke up this morning and fixed him his breakfast
Just like she's done for so long
She knows when she leaves with the kids for the bus stop
When she gets back, he'll be gone
She thinks about last night, when he turned out the night-light
How he didn't hold her again
She's a warm lovin' woman, feelin' unwanted
And she's taken about as much as she can.

She's over thirty and under - loved
And she's getting' hungry for the right kind of touch
And if he don't want her, somebody will
She's just over thirty, not over the hill.

She still remembers the way that he held her
Just a few short years ago
And she don't understand why he's turning colder
While she's still feeling the glow
Then she starts to wonder, if she were younger
How would he treat her tonight
'Cause she's still all woman, and if he don't want her
She might just take any love she can find.

She's over thirty and under ' loved
And she's getting hungry for the right kind of touch
And if he don't want her, somebody will
She's just over thirty, not over the hill...

"Papa Sing Me A Song"

"Papa Sing Me A Song"


Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.

So, I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
But tonight I'll sing my last time.

(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)

Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.

Papa sing a song to die by this time...

"Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"

"Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"


You were mine for just a while
Now you're puttin' on the style.
And you never once looked back
At your home across the tracks.

Your the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground.
Pick me up on your way down.

Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.

You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down.

They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude.
Your new friends can take the blame
But underneath you're still the same.

When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground,
Pick me up on your way down.

Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.

You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy.
Then they'll take away your crown,
Pick me up on your way down...

"Pick-Up"

"Pick-Up"


I saw her walkin' down the street
I tell you all she sure looked neat
Lovely eyes and long black hair
She looked so nervous standing there

Man's she's great
Think I'll ask her for a date

I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter

What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk

You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness

I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter

What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk

You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness

I guess I musta caught her eye
'Cause instead of walkin' by
She walked right up and with a smile
Said c'mon boy I like your style

Will I date her
So long boy's I'll see you later

"Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries"

"Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries"


Where you been, where you been.
It's the same ole question again
What's the use baby, what's the use
They ain't never gonna turn us loose.

You got dirt all over your face
And your lipstick is way out of place
Oh, we gonna tell 'em
What we tell 'em every time before.

They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.

We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.

Conway, I don't know. Loretta, I don't know
If I can keep honey, from lettin' it show
What's our plan, tell me what's our plan
Now you know they won't understand.

If my hair is a drippin' wet
And my clothes are soakin' wet
And we didn't go skinny dippin'
In a cement pond.

You're my baby, you're my man,
And though your hair is sure gettin' to be a mess
And there ain't no berries in your bucket
Now we'll explain it honey, as best as we can.

They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.

We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse everytime
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries...

"Pieces Of You"

"Pieces Of You"


Pieces of you all scattered around
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me

There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall

Pieces of you all scattered around

There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart

What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me

"Platinum High School"

"Platinum High School"


There's an island out in the sea
Just a waitin' for the guys like me
Oh on this island is a crazy school
And there's where I learned the golden rule.

Twenty-one fellas and one little girl
She looks like just an angel with a platinum curle
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
I guess that's why they called her platinum high.

I saw her walkin' just a platinum high
Nearly lost my mind when she walked by
Oh I never met a gal looked like this before
That's why I found myself a knockin' on her door.

I said what you're doin' home on a night like this
Come on my pretty baby give your daddy a kiss
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
Kiss my baby on a platinum high.

Asked my cutie if she'd like to go
To the house at party or a movie show
She said big daddy I don't care what we'd do
It doesn't matter just as long as I'm with you.

I stepped into her room and I closed the door
Sat on a TV set and I turned the lights down low
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
Just me and my baby on a platinum high.

"Play Guitar Play"

"Play Guitar Play"


Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields
Let me hear, my momma calling
Look a-yonder ya'll who's coming
Down the road, he's a coming home
But they know I never will.

I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run.

Play, guitar play
Help me through another day
Help me make another dollar, before I go
We got time, for one more song
Then we'll have to move along
Another town, another crowd
Lord, I wonder if they know.

Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that's went wrong
Guitar we got years to kill
We got to climb that distant hill
I wonder if they think of me.
(Guitar play)...
