"Nothing's Changed Here"

"Nothing's Changed Here"



I hear you walking across the floor
I think that I'm dreaming
'Til I hear you shut the door
I wake up crying and calling your name
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same

Same old sun comes up to shine
On this old bed at the same old time
I tell myself the same old lie
I've got you off my mind

I feel your body lying next to mine
I reach out in the darkness
But your not there for me to find
There's only sorrow followed by pain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same

I see your sweet lips softly kiss me goodbye
I taste the salt of my teardrops
As they fall down from my eyes
I take a deep breath
But it's only in vain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
Yeah, nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same

"Off Your Mind"

"Off Your Mind"



If you see me
You don’t have to say hello
The way you never said goodbye
So long ago
If you wonder
How I am just fine
Alone right where you left me
Off your mind

When I heard the news
About your life
I never doubted you
Became his wife
But I can safely tell you
I’m okay
Right here where I’ve stayed
Out of your way
Sometimes I wonder
How I do
This without you
Then sometimes I wonder
If you wonder too
Could that be true

If you wonder
How I am just fine
Alone right where you left me
Off your mind

If you have dreams
About someone like me
Just take those pills of yours
And try to get some sleep
You’ll never have to hear
My voice no more
It stopped making sound
When you walked out the door

If you see me
You don’t have to say hello
The way you never said goodbye
So long ago
If you wonder
How I am just fine
Alone right where you left me
Off your mind

"One More Name"

"One More Name"



My friends tried to tell me you were steppin' around
But I wouldn't hear it, I shut them all down
But now I'm a thinkin' you've made a fool out of me
'Cause the words that are slippin' spell grief and misery

One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and I'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die

Haunted and tortured by the rumors about you
Listening in silence to whispers of truth
Deceived by the soft kiss you forge every day
While each night those same lips give your secret away

One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and I'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die

One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and I'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die

"One More Night"

"One More Night"



One more night and I know
That I'll be over you
Yeah, one more night and I know
Ah, that the worst is through

And if I can make this heart
Just believe it too
Then one more night and I know
That I'll be over you

One more night and I know
That I'll forget your voice
Yeah, one more night and I know
That I can make that choice

And ignore the awful sounds
That come when love's destroyed
Because one more night and I know
That I'll forget your voice

I'll escape it, if I learn to take it
And just survive two or three
Of the next million thoughts
That I have about you and me

I'll escape it, if I learn to take it
And just survive two or three
Of the next million thoughts
That I have about you and me

One more night, one more night
Yeah, one more night, oh, one more night
Oh, one more, one more night
One more, one more, one more night
Yeah, one more night, one more
One more, one more, one more night

"Only Want You More"

"Only Want You More"



Hey girl, hey girl, you warned me to go
But girl, but girl, little did I know

All the things you told me
About what lay in store
Would only make me want you more

No, not a word had one chance to save me
From your love, that wicked love
There's not a prayer left for me escaping
From your love, yeah, that wicked love

Oh, hey girl, hey girl, I begged and hollered please
But girl, but girl, even from my knees

All the things you told me
About what lay in store
Only made me want you more

No pain can stop or rid me what I'm needing
From your love, that wicked love
'Cause what I crave all night and end each day still seeking
Is your love, yeah, that wicked love

Hey girl, hey girl, I tried to understand
But girl, but girl, there ain't no way I can

'Cause all the things you told me
About what lay in store
Only made me want you more

Yeah, all those things you told me
About what lay in store
Yeah, they only make me want you more

(originally by Buck Owens)

"Only You (Can Break My Heart)"
(originally by Buck Owens)



Only you can make my dreams come true
Only you can turn my skies blue
Love like ours should not be far apart
Only you can break my heart

Only you can end these sleepless nights
Only you can make things turn out right
You and you alone can keep us far apart
Only you can break my heart
Only you can break my heart

Only you can make my dreams come true
Only you can turn my skies blue
Love like ours should not be far apart
Only you can break my heart
Only you can break my heart

Only you
Only you
Only you

"Paradise"

"Paradise"



When I was a boy my family would travel
Inta' Western Kentucky where my parents were born
To a lost little town there thats often remembered
So many times that my memory drew warn
And daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away
Well sometimes we travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Gadry Hill.
Where the air smelled like snakes an' we'd shoot off pistols
Ahh but empty pop bottles is all we would kill
And daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay
He said i'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
Welll the coal compny' came with the worlds largest shovel
They tortured the timber and stripped all of the land
Lord they dug for their coal til the ground was forsaken
Then wrote it all down as a the Progress Of Man
So daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away
When I die let my ashes float down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just 5 miles away from wherever I am
Ohhh... and daddy won't ya take me back to Mulingburg County
Down by the green river where Paradise lay
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'
Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away
Oh Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away.

"Playboy"

"Playboy"


They call me a playboy
As I'm making my rounds
Chasing the bright light
Of each night spot in town

Though I never show it,
My heart's breaking in two
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you

I once had real love
That was when I had you
Now I'll never feel love
With somebody new

This false front I'm wearing
Is just to cover my blues
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you

[Instrumental]

I once had real love
That was when I had you
Now I'll never feel love
With somebody new

This false front I'm wearing
Is just to cover my blues
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you...

"Please, Please Baby"

"Please, Please Baby"



Yeah hang on a second
Yeah, hang on the to the rhythm, buddy

Please, please baby, baby come back home
I's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

I laughed when you packed your bags and told me goodbye
I hollered "I don't need you", oh, but honey that's a lie

Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

If you don't come home dear, I know I'll go insane
Sweetheart, I plead guilty, darlin' I take all the blame

Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

Please, please, please baby, come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

"Pocket Of A Clown"

"Pocket Of A Clown"



Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Inside the pocket of a clown

Inside the heartache of a fool
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel
Inside the heartache of a fool

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Inside a memory from the past
Lies every love that didn't last
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
Inside a memory from the past

Yeah, it's a real sad place to hang around
Inside the pocket of a clown
