"Why Me"

"Why Me"


Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was worth
Loving you and the kindness you've shown.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself on my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

My soul's in your hand...

"Why Not Tonight"

"Why Not Tonight"


Let's forget unpleasant mem'ries let them lie there in the past
Say you love me again that tonight won't be our last
Yesterday's gone forever and tomorrow's out of sight
So if you've ever loved me then why not tonight

Why not tonight why not tonight
If you can't forgive me and love me again
Then why not tonight

We'll search back through the ashes of the bridges we've burned
All the lessons we've been taught surely ones we've learned
We've got a chance in a lifetime to find love that's right
If you're ever gonna love me then why not tonight

Why not tonight why not tonight...

Sweetheart look at me and listen our love is like an eternal flame
And I don't believe that it'll ever die
And this may be our last chance to make things right
So if you've ever gonna love me then why not tonight

"Wild Mountain Rose"

"Wild Mountain Rose"


High on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
I fell in love with my wild mountain Rose

Rose lived high on the mountain with the bright lights of the city below
She dreamed of the day we would go there just me and my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind I drifted from her far below to the bright lights of town
I promised to come back and get her but time passed and I'd let her down

Now high on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
There's nothing but mem'ries of my wild mountain Rose

One night in town they told me of this beauty in a place where lonely men go
And they talked of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her their wild mountain Rose
And tonight I saw Rose for the first time in town in her new city clothes
And I'm to blame for the scarlet light that's burning
In the life of my wild mountain Rose

Now down in the valley where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of my wild mountain Rose

"Wild Side Of Life"

"Wild Side Of Life"


You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote
You you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song.

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life...

"Will You Visit Me On Sunday"

"Will You Visit Me On Sunday"


Just outside these prison bars a hanging tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say, Hello.
Darling, touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again, before I go.

Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?

Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.

Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?..

"Window Up Above"

"Window Up Above"


I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But even now the clouds're gathering
And the storm will wreck our home
I thought we belonged together that our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.

You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above.

From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
Well, I hope he makes you happy, that you'll never lose his love
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.

How I wished I could be dreaming
And wake up to a love that's true
I was wrong for I've been standing at the window watching you...

"Wine Me Up"

"Wine Me Up"


I'm the center of attention in this barroom
'Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swinging doors
Reach out for me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that
I'll come back to wine me up again.

Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight, I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again.

I'd like to thank to men who raised the grapes in California
And I'm hoping this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet water's all that's left to keep me hanging on
And that's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year.

Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again...

"With Pen In Hand"

"With Pen In Hand"


With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.

Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.

And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...

"Without You"

"Without You"


I've never been above the Mason ' Dixon line
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile.

You said you hated leavin' but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine.

Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.

I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clingin' to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie heart of mine.

Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Big Mamaux
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.

Hey, without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis, Tennessee without the blues'
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you...
