"Love's Cheatin' Line"

"Love's Cheatin' Line"



Yep, she finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
If she mean to hurt me, she's done it this time
My best friend has loved her right out of my mind
She's finally crossed over love's cheatin' line

Yep, she finally crossed over lovers cheatin' line
It's hard to imagine that I've been so blind
Well, nobody could have told me that she was that kind
She finally crossed over lover's cheating line

Now listen to me, girl, it's true that I left her left her alone
And some folks will tell you I done her wrong
And I see the pity from all of my friends
It's hard to believe, Lord, the way true love ends

She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Guess I should have noticed those old danger signs
This bottles gonna help me to get her off my mind
She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line

"Lovin' You Comes So Natural"

"Lovin' You Comes So Natural"



I know that the hardest thing I ever had to do
Was walkin' out on her to run to you
I'm leavin' town without her now cause that's the way I came
I know your love is waiting and it's time to catch a train
Lovin' you comes so natural anymore lovin' her was a chore
With you it's so easy lovin' you comes so natural anymore

She kept tryin' to make me change into somebody new
That was just too hard for me to do
Givin' it ain't easy honey I found out the hard way
With the games I've had to play till I could get to you
Lovin' you comes so natural...
Lovin' you comes so natural...

"Loving Her (Will Make You Lose Your Mind)"

"Loving Her (Will Make You Lose Your Mind)"



She's everything you look for in that kind of woman
Shell drink whiskey and dance till the champagnes all gone
Shell be right there when the air from the ocean is calling
Telling you, sailor beware! Something is wrong!

But touching her might make you lose your blues tonight
Holding her might stop the pain in time
Kissing her might take away the loneliness you fell
But loving her will make you lose your mind

Just like the moon and the stars shell be gone in the morning
Leaving you empty and drained, like the tide you'll be low
Looking for something to take that will make it all better
You'll try to buy her with presents, but sailor I know.

"Lyin' Comes So Easy To Your Lips"

"Lyin' Comes So Easy To Your Lips"



Lyin’ Comes So Easy To Your Lips girl
Cheating drips right off your finger tips girl
Everything about you lets me know
Just how far you’ll really go
Honey you know all the tricks
Lyin’ Comes So Easy To Your Lips.

I could smell the whiskey on your breathe when you came in
Even though you swore you never touched a drop
Your dress was kinda wrinkled and your makeup was smeared a little
And your hair looked like he tied it in a knot
Your wedding ring looked guilty
As it sparkled on your finger
I could almost see it laughing in my face
Knowing that your secret
Wasn’t secret any longer
It was plain to see someone had took my place

You knew all the answers to the questions I was asking
Your excuses seemed to compliment your lies
There’s no use pretending
This old heart ain’t mending
It took me much to long to realize that.

Lyin’ Comes So Easy To Your Lips girl
Cheating drips right off your finger tips girl
Everything about you lets me know
Just how far you’ll really go
Honey you know all the tricks
Lyin’ Comes So Easy To Your Lips.

"Maria Is A Mystery"

"Maria Is A Mystery"



Maria has a music box she winds up most every day
Once a week is all it takes to make the music play
Melody is just some childhood lullaby her mother
Used to sing to her.
And the road down to the city goes right by maria's door
I often walk right by her house on my way to the store
Up there where those italian mothers
Dress there shivering bambinos
For the rain

She tells me about Jesus and all his gallant men
I tell her about fantasy
Maria she's this lady on the way down to the river
Maria, she's a mystery

Yea passing by this morning I drew a picture in my head
Our bodies in some candlelight that glowed upon our skin
Maybe if I touched her she would disappear
Like angels in a dream.

"Mary Magdeline"

"Mary Magdeline"



Shes a lady of the night

Some say that her profession
Is a low down dirty shame
And some folks say shes just some hippie chick
Thats half insane

She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline

Told a friend about
The strange experience I had
With Benzedrine indifference
He assured me I was mad

His dad had been a Preacher
Quoted scriptures from his head
Disbelief was on his face
Especially when I said

She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline

With hepatitis eyelids
I went tripping down the street
The local Catholic mission
Offered rest for weary feet

The Priest heard my confession
While his breath smelled just like wine
He gave me the impression
I was waisting sacred time

He talked to me about someone he called The Son of Man
He told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
He talked to me of vision and things he'd seen in dreams
And he talked about a prostitute named Mary Magdeline

He talked to me about someone he called The Son of Man
He told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps it was a vision of delirium I seen
That prostitute I meet last night called Mary Magdeline

"Master Bation Blues"

"Master Bation Blues"



She's alone in the corner, with her panties to her knees, lookin in the mirror,
she gives her tits a squeeze. Slides her finger thru the wetness, rubbing
gently on her clit. Breathing heavy with each stroke now. She's not worried
bout me watchin, its too late now to refuse, nightly fever you can't shake
down, masturbation blues.

He picks up the dirty picture, with his dick hard in his hand, with a stroke
you see hime moving, with the music of the band, against the wall you see him
jerking, as the cum spills on the floor, as he swells in the mirror, he won't
do this anymore, he's not worried bout me watchin, it's too late now to refute,
nightly fever you can't refuse, masturbation blues.

"Meanwhile Back In Memphis"

"Meanwhile Back In Memphis"



All the way from Memphis, babe
In search of something new
You tell me now
That Memphis, girl
Don't hold a thing for you

Hypnotized by gypsy lies
Like a moth drawn to the flame
In the crowd
You're just a faceless face
Another nameless name

Living on the handouts
Of the Jesus of your own choosing
The Christ you knew
In Memphis, girl
Could not win for losin'

Love beeds for your rosary
And your drugs to see you through
You're telling me
At seventeen
You know more that I do

Say farewell to L.A
And your little coat of blue
'Cause meanwhile
Back in Memphis, girl
Our mama prays for you

All the way from Memphis, babe
In search of something new
You tell me now
At seventeen
You know more than I do

"Merle And Me"

"Merle And Me"



Back in 1953
We stole a car old merle and me
Never thinking wed be put in jail
You might say that we were green
I was barely seventeen
When they put those bars between old merle and me

Late one night we hit the wall
Twenty feet we had to fall
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
Waiting for that shotgun blast
Never thinking we could last
We sure had to grow up fast, old merle and me

We were young and crazy then
It was easy to pretend
Acting like wed never been in reform school
Looking danger in the eye
Walking with our heads held high
We were not afraid to die, old merle and me

We were living by the gun
Never caring what wed done
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
We would die and go to hell
Before we broke our vow to tell
How we escaped that prison cell. old merle and me

How was merle or me to know
We would end up on death row
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
Shot down in a grocery store
We got busted at the door
Praying wasn't easy for old merle and me

"Million Dollar Memories"

"Million Dollar Memories"



Those rhinestones turned to diamonds and those diamonds soon got old
I had everything that you could buy to have but not to hold
But all that glitters is not gold and when love's lost it's shine
I had million dollar memories down to my last dime
Million dollar memories down to my last dime
Honky tonks and whiskey Lord they'll do it every time
The day she found another I almost lost my mind
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Play it Pig)

Those limosines and chauffers they soon fell by the way
Like that mansion down in Dallas Lord I lost the other day
Happiness is gone now there's nothing left but time
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
Million dollar memories...
Yes my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Think about that honey)
