"Things I Lost In You"

"Things I Lost In You"


It's over, I've known it for a long time
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.

I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.

I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...

"Third Man"

"Third Man"


Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real

I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died

Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found

My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
I still can hear the third man say I'm doing this for you

"This Road That I Walk"

"This Road That I Walk"


Well, this road that I walk is a mighty lonely road
It's low that I bear to mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I done her wrong.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong.)

Well, this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Who do forever walk this road of misery.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong)
(Now he walks this road of misery alone.)

Well, this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take leads you up very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart.

You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone...

"This Time I've Hurt Her More (Than She Loves Me)"

"This Time I've Hurt Her More (Than She Loves Me)"


She wore that fallin' out of love, look
I even swore by the good book
Still the last lie I told her
Was the one she couldn't believe.

No more crying on her shoulder
She won't even let me hold her
And this time I've hurt her more
Than she loves me.

I've been too busy drinking
She's been too busy thinking
'Bout the kind of love she needs
And the man she never sees.

But Lord, she's already stood more
Than I was ever good for
And this time I've hurt her more
Than she loves me.

I've been too busy drinking
She's been too busy thinking
'Bout the kind of love she needs
And the man she never sees.

But Lord, she's already stood more
Than I was ever good for
And this time I've hurt her more
Than she loves me.

Lord, this time I've hurt her more
Than she loves me...

"Those Eyes"

"Those Eyes"


God gave some a way of walkin'
Others have the gift of talkin'
They've all got a special way to please.

Some men fall for a pretty face
Others go for silk and lace
I bet he knew He'd bring me to my knees
When he gave her.

Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.

There's been times I thought of leavin'
Find another place for breathin'
After all I'm just a normal man.

I thought by now I would have done it
Somethings always kept me from it
The reason isn't hard to understand when I look in.

Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.

Oh, I don't know what you see in me
But you keep on pleasin' me
All my life I've been satisfied just to look in.

Those eyes (they turn me around)
Those eyes (they melt me down)
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes (they get to me)
Those eyes (they set me free)
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes...

"Three Times A Lady"

"Three Times A Lady"


Thanks for the times that you've given me
The mem'ries are all in my mind.
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.

You share my dreams, my joy my pain
You make my life worth living for
And if I had my life to live over again
I'd spend every moment with you.

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
I love you...

"Throwing Good Love After Bad"

"Throwing Good Love After Bad"


By now, others would have quit
Thrown the towel in, and admit
It's over
And, maybe I will yet
Cause, your love couldn't get
Any colder.

Still, somehow, I can't stop believing
One day, we'll again have what we had
Though I should find someone new
I keep on loving you
Throwing good love after bad.

I watched you as you changed
As your love grew as strange
As your kisses
And, the more and more it hurt
I thought it couldn't get no worse
Ah, but it is.

Anybody else would stop and find another
Face the truth, and never once look back
And, I pray someday I will
But, as it is, I'm still
Throwing good love after bad.

I know somewhere, somebody out there's waitin' for me
With just as good a love as I have
And, someday, that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad.

And, someday that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad...

"Tight Fittin' Jeans"

"Tight Fittin' Jeans"


She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore
But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before
And I felt like a peasant who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans

I ask her what's a woman like you doin' here
I see you're use to champagne but I'll buy you a beer
She said you've got me figured out but I'm not what I seem
And for a dance I'll tell you 'bout these tight fittin' jeans

She said I married money, I'm use to wearin' pearls
But I've always dreamed of bein' just a good ol' boys girl
So tonight I left those crystal candle lights to live a dream
And partner, there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans

We danced every dance and Lord the beer that we went through
I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans

In my mind she's still a lady that's all I'm gonna say
I knew that I'd been broken by the time we parted way
And I know I held more woman than most eyes have ever seen
That night I knew a lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans

Well now she's back in her world and I'm still stuck in mine
But I know I'll always remember the time
A cowboy once had a millionaire's dream
And Lord I love that lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans

"Till The Pain Outwears The Shame"

"Till The Pain Outwears The Shame"


It's common knowledge everybody knows I love you
When cheatin' caused you wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't
I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.

Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I'll leave the hurt's already startin' I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame...

"Tip Of My Fingers"

"Tip Of My Fingers"


I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But that was as close as I came.

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeilding beneath my command
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
But I let it slip right through my hands.

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
That it's a long long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
To the love hidden deep in your heart.

I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
Yes, I let it slip right through my hands...
