"When The Final Change Is Made"

"When The Final Change Is Made"


Lately, I watched strange changes overcome you
Destroying the loving part of you, I knew
You're letting someone turn you into a stranger
And when the final change is made, I won't have you.

When the final change is made, I won't have you
Someone's got you chasing rainbows, in your mind
He already owns your conscience, but he's not true
'Cause when the final change is made, he'll have you.

When the final change is made, he'll have you
But he'll never own the part of you, I love
And I'll turn to that loving part of you, I knew
'Cause when the final change is made, I'll still want you.

Yes, when the final change is made, I'll still love you...

"When The Grass Grows Over Me"

"When The Grass Grows Over Me"


When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.

I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

"When The Magic Works"

"When The Magic Works"


On a good night
I don't even have to try
'Cause it's so strong
Once I get on
To the right track
When I get the knack
She'll be helpless here forever.

When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hey, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

Moonlight
Everything is just right
I can feel it
Working a spell
And sometimes
When the planets are in line
I can see it come together.

When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

Yeah, when the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

When the magic works...

"When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman"

"When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman"


When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
Well, it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone.

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman...

"Whichever One Comes First"

"Whichever One Comes First"


That little band of gold left a ring around her finger
First time she took it off in seven years
The only man that ever loved her left her for another
Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.

So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet
And meets the baby sitter at the door
Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'
'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.

She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.

In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table
Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend
But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over
Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.

She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...

"White Lightning"

"White Lightning"


(Whew whay soway) white lightning

In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down
And we take out a jug and we pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.

Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin', thunder started crashin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.

Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.

Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff
He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.

Well the G men, T men...

"Who Did They Think He Was"

"Who Did They Think He Was"


A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.

Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.

Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.

He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.

Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?

The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethlehem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.

Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.

Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?

Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...

"Who Will Pray For Me"

"Who Will Pray For Me"


My rough and rowdy ways
Have kept me from his grace
But there's hope for me
'Cause momma's faith is strong
She's the only hope I've got
To keep me in touch with God.
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?

Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?

I guess I'm just too weak
To fall down on my knees
And talk to God
Like a man on my own
He knows who I am
She mentions me to him
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?

Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?

Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?..

"Who'll Turn Out The Lights"

"Who'll Turn Out The Lights"


I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Whose shoulder will your head be restin' on
Does your hungry arms reach for someone you feel you need
Will the need still be there when he's gone.

As I reach for the switch that turns out my lights
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.

Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?

Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.

Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?...

"Who's Gonna Know"

"Who's Gonna Know"


I know you know whats on my mind
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?

We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?

Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?

If we share our love, who's gonna know?...
