"Arizona Rivers"

"Arizona Rivers"



When you're young
You wanna believe
Believe in love
Believe in everything

Time
Seems to be on your side
When you're young
And in love

Time to move along, baby
I've got this feelin'
Something's going on

I can't make my mind up
When I do
I tell you, baby
I'll be through with you

I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heartbreak
And it's coming on strong

"As Far As This Feeling Will Take Us"
(duet with Karen Brooks)



You're layin' here with me we're holding each other it feels good so it must be right
You've touched me into thinking this could go on forever
I don't care if forever is just for tonight
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us we've never been there together before
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us
And I've got a feeling we'll come back for more

I'm like a forest and you're like a wildfire that's spreading all over me
Baby come with me let's go to heaven
At moments like this girl that's where we should be
Let's go as far as this feeling...
For that kind of feeling we'll come back for me

"Atlanta Song"

"Atlanta Song"



I met her in Atlanta
She was a-dancing in a cafe
With a price tag on her body
And a tombstone in her eye
You could tell she was not happy
By the way she kept on staring
Past the other side of nowhere
At a man she'd like to try

And the make-up she had painted
Could not hide the youthful motions
Of her body
From the music or the crowd
I stared like all others
With my right hand in my pocket
While she showed us
Everything the law allowed

Twenty bucks an hour later
My one-bedroom apartment
I was feeling weak
From all the seeds I'd sown
She was sweet, she was gentle
As she introduced my body
To some pleasures
It had never ever known

When I woke up in the morning
She was a-laying there beside me
Like a kitten
With her face turned to the sun
And a look of satisfaction
On her lips that made me wonder
If she ever felt ashamed
Of what we'd done

So I left her in atlanta
She was a-dancing in cafe
With a price tag on her body
And a tomestone in her eye
And I guess she still ain't happy
By the way she keeps on staring
Past the other side of nowhere

"Back To Atlanta"

"Back To Atlanta"



If she knew that I was here with you
There ain't no doubt about what she would do
So lets get dressed and I'll be on my way
You knew that I was passing through
I never meant to stay.

And I think id better go back to atlanta
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
I never should have stepped across loves mason dixon line
And I think its time to go back to atlanta

I've been on the road for a long long time
She was out of sight and out of mind
But she still wears my ring upon her hand
All that I could be to you is
Just a one night stand

"Bad Impressions"

"Bad Impressions"



(Good evening ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Grand Ole Opry
We got a great show lined up for you tonight here
Brought to you by Martha White Flour
My name is Hank Snow I'm from Nova Scotia Canada)

I've tried my best to tell you that I'm leavin' I won't be back no more after today
I've tried and I've tried but you weren't satisfied until you finally throw my love away
Bad impressions, bad impressions Lord you left bad impressions on my mind
Bad impressions, bad impressions ah but good impressions are so hard to find

You promised you would stay with me forever farever didn't seem to lost too long
You packed your clothes up darlin' you never said goodbye
Ah but honey I still love you and I will until I die
Bad impressions, bad impressions...
Ah yes the good impressions are so hard to find

"Ballad Of A Teenage Queen"

"Ballad Of A Teenage Queen"



(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

"Bluegrass Morning"

"Bluegrass Morning"



She packed her bags and moved to Florida I've been blue since she's been gone
And this bowling green motel room is now my old Kentucky home
All she left me was some whiskey and these funny cigarettes she rolled
It must have been her main intention to watch our dreams go up in smoke
It's another blue grass morning I'm gonna blow my mind away
In this smoke old motel room looks like it's gonna be another blue grass day

She's soakin' up the sun in Florida I'm smokin' up this motel room
She's sippin' drinks down by the ocean I'm guzzlin' blue Kentucky moon
It's another blue grass morning...

"Bossier City"

"Bossier City"


My hands are shaking and I'm sadly learning
The truth behind your innocent disguise
You never thought I knew that you had been untrue
But I once saw the devil somewhere in your eyes

And now you got the nerve to ask me where I'm going
And I don't believe I'd tell you if I knew
I'll be gone when the sun comes up tomorrow
I believe it's time to say good-bye to you
And it sure smells like snow in Bossier City
But there ain't no weather quite as cold as you
I'd sooner stand in Mother Nature's anger
Than to spend another lonely night with you

I'm talking but I'm feeling you're not listening
My words they just fall heavy on the floor
Yes, it's true that you knew I would not stay forever
And you won't see me crying when I walk out your door

And it sure smells like snow in Bossier City
But there ain't no weather as cold as you
I'd sooner stand in Mother Nature's anger [fade]

"Bright Morning Light"

"Bright Morning Light"



She was a waitress in a west Texas dance hall
I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand
I called her Honey when she brought my whiskey
And later I left there holding her hand
Then we walked down the street to a tumble down hotel
Where she had a room on a cold second floor
And that room looked like hell just a bed and a table
A shade on the window and a lock on the door
I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy
But she don't look half bad I'll stay for the night
But I'll leave when it's early cause I've got this feeling
She won't look so good in the bright morning light

I've known some devils and I've known some angels
I once had a woman on the Mexico line
But I've never been touched like that woman touched me
She lay there beside me and crawled in my mind
And we talked and we smoked and made love till mornin'
The sun come a streamin' through a hole in the shade
And it fell like a spotlight on her face and her body
And it hung like a halo round the bed where we lay
I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy
But she don't look half bad I guess I'll stay for the night
But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago and Lord God what a woman
She still looks as good in the bright morning light
