"Take It Easy On Yourself"

"Take It Easy On Yourself"

There's two hundred people pushin' up daisies
In the graveyard out back of the old Baptist church
There were some schemers, some sinners and dreamers
And not one died wishin' they spent more time at work.

[Chorus:]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turnin'
Without any help
I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself.

Leave all the old tears, the good times and lost years
The guilt and the heartache right where they are
I got no hard lesson just love without question
So right now just lay down in these open arms.

[Chorus:]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turnin'
Without any help
I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself.

Unhook your burden let it all free
Sometimes life's harder than it ought to be.

[Instrumental]

I got no hard lesson just love without question
So right now just lay down in these open arms.

[Chorus:]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turnin'
Without any help
I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself.

Take it easy on yourself...

"Talk Is Cheap"

"Talk Is Cheap"

Talk about life, talk about death
Talk about catching every breath
Talk about when, and talk about why!
Talk about do, and talk about don’t
Talk about will and talk about won’t
Talk about the sweet… bye and bye

[Chorus:]
Well, talk is cheap and times are wasting
Get busy living or at least die trying
Wine is for tasting, roads for taking
Talk is cheap and times are wasting!

Talk about right, and talk about wrong
Talk about trying to get along
Talk about the way it all would be.
Talk about now, and talk about then
Talk about everywhere you’ve been
Talk about being free.

[Chorus x2:]
Well, talk is cheap and times are wasting
Get busy living or at least die trying
Wine is for tasting, roads for taking
Talk is cheap and times are wasting!

"Tears Of The Lonely"

"Tears Of The Lonely"

Faded pictures, yellow from time
Well worn memories of days gone by
Needing someone and nobody's there
These are the things
Broken dreams are made of,
Lord they're everywhere.

Oh, the tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time,
Tears of the lonely
Never dry.

Another nighttime that just never ends
A helpless longing for what might have been
Another morning to face all alone
These are the things
Broken dreams are made of,
They go on and on.

Oh, the tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time,
Tears of the lonely
Never dry.

Oh, the Tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time,
Tears of the lonely
Never dry...

"Tempted"

"Tempted"

Tempted, tempted, tempted to fall in again
Tempted, tempted, I'm tempted to fall in love again.

Sometimes love, can hurt you bad
Make you stop and wonder what you really had
But I guess it's all part of the master plan
To be tempted to fall in love again.

Tempted, tempted, tempted to fall in again
Tempted, tempted, I'm tempted to fall in love again.

[Instrumental]

When I miss love the most it's late at night
When the party is over and everything gets quiet
Then the memory of love starts burnin' in my brain
And I'm tempted to fall in love again.

Tempted, tempted, tempted to fall in again
Tempted, tempted, I'm tempted to fall in love again...

"That Song About The River"

"That Song About The River"

I have seen the paddle wheelers
Rolling south on a summers' day.
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
With stars in their lemonade
And I've heard the hobo's gather,
Heard their banjo's brace the blade.
Heard them sing about the river,
Called it the lazy man's parade.

Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day.

Last night I stood by the highway,
Pretended I was on my way.
You know a hundred thousand headlights
Couldn't match the milky way
And when the moonlight touches the water,
Surely somethin' touches me
And I go reachin' for the river
Like it's reachin' for the sea.

So, Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day.

Somethings go on forever
But truth don't ever stray.
The wind may brush the water
But the river won't persuade.

So, Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day...

"That's The Thing About Love"

"That's The Thing About Love"

Sometimes you feel lost and far from home
Then with just one kiss you're a king on a throne
It can make you soar like an eagle
Or it can make you feel as meek as a dove
Whoa, that's the thing about love.

You hope and pray the right one comes along
Some fools don't know what they've got till its gone
The very one you think will never hurt ya
Always seems to be, the one that does
Whoa, that's the thing about love.

You can't have it
Until you give it
You can never give it enough
Whoa, that's the thing about love.

Naw, you can't have it
Until you give it
You can never give it enough

Well, next time you come in a natural flow
Deep in the feelin's with your heart all aglow
Don't stop to try to understand it
Just thank your lucky stars, shinin' above, and say
Whoa, that's the thing about love.

Whoa, that's the thing about love...

"The Answer"

"The Answer"

For the life of me
You know I can't recall
My father giving mighty words of wisdom
But the more I live I see
The greatest gift of all
Is how I always knew for sure he was listening
To a million questions I felt like a fool to ask
And when I'd ask him for an answer, he'd just laugh

And say the more I learn
The more I learn how little that I know
But I'm close to understanding
Just how far I have to go
We give our hearts
We take our chances
And know the fool ain't the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it's someone who believes they have the answers

In the years since then
When my children come
Pouring out their hearts
This old world has broken
I do the listening
I've seen what good it's done
When less not more is spoken
And when they press me hard to tell them what the answer is
I remember well and simply offer this

And say 'the more I learn
The more I learn how little that I know
But I'm close to understanding
Just how far I have to go
We give our hearts
We take our chances
And know the fool ain't the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it's someone who believes they have the answers

And say 'the more I learn
The more I learn how little that I know
But I'm close to understanding
Just how far I have to go
We give our hearts
We take our chances
And know the fool ain't the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it's someone who believes they have the answers

"The Flood (Wish I Was In Nashville)"

"The Flood (Wish I Was In Nashville)"

I went to see my honeydew,
She lived just down the way
I got stuck and the truck froze up
And I only got half way.

Sittin' here on the muddy road,
Stuck here all alone
The rain won't stop it's a beatin' on the top
And I should have stayed at home.

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh.

Must have been a half a day,
Before I got back home
The roads all mud the creeks gonna flood
And I'm here all alone

Sure feels good a gettin' back
To my old shack again
But I'm all soaked and the radios broke
And the rain keeps pouring in.

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh.

[Instrumental]

I wish I was in Nashville,
Guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will
Ride in the back of a big Cadillac. uh huh...

"The Letter"

"The Letter"

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm a goin' home
My baby jus' wrote me a letter.

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
I got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm a goin' home
My baby jus' wrote me a letter.

Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more
Any way, yeah,

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm a goin' home
My baby jus' wrote me a letter.

[Instrumental]

"The Light In Your Eyes"

"The Light In Your Eyes"

Honey when the light's not in your eyes
Just makes me want to cry
Cause I know what's ahead for me and you
Even after all that we've been through

When your eyes don't want to see me
When your arms don't hold me near
When your lips won't speak to soothe me
Cause the light's not shining clear

When your eyes don't want to see me
When your arms don't hold me near
When your lips won't speak to soothe me
Cause the light's not shining clear

I wish I had the magic words to say
So the light would never go away
It's so hard for me to realize
My world is in the light that's in your eyes.
It's so hard for me to realize
It depends upon the light that's in your eyes.
