"Gone"

"Gone"


[Chorus:]
That'll be me you'll see walking away
That'll be me you'll see for the last time today
That'll be me you'll see for not very long
'Cause that'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone

Remember how you warned me
'bout all your leavin' plans
Well I know this might seem unexpected
So prepare yourself the best you can

[Chorus:]
That'll be me you'll see walking away
That'll be me you'll see for the last time today
That'll be me you'll see for not very long
'Cause that'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone

[Instrumental]

Think back on when you threatened
And never left no doubt
Although this could be kinda sudden
I'm sure you can figure it all out

[Chorus:]
That'll be me you'll see walking away
That'll be me you'll see for the last time today
That'll be me you'll see for not very long
'Cause that'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone

'Cause that'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues"

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues"


Everybody's gone away,
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around,
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town will waste your time
Guess they're right -- it's wasting mine

[Chorus:]
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues

[Instrumental]

Y'know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at 33
Y'play around y'lose your wife,
Y'play too long, you lose your life

Got my pills t'ease the pain,
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love t'try and settle down,
But everybody's leavin' town

[Chorus:]
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues

Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues

"Guitars, Cadillacs"

"Guitars, Cadillacs"



Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
And showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson 'bout a naive fool who came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet

Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

Ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
Painful scars are all that's left of me
Oh, but thank you girl for teachin' me brand new ways to be cruel
If I can find my mind now I guess I'll just leave

And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

Oh it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

"Heart Of Stone"

"Heart Of Stone"


[Chorus:]
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
'Til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat

[Chorus:]
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
sure is missing you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
Sure is wishing you (wishing you)
were back where love belongs
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
has not forgotten you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
But broke while trying to (trying to)
pretend that it was strong

Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of any way it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die

[Chorus:]
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
sure is missing you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
Sure is wishing you (wishing you)
were back where love belongs
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
has not forgotten you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
But broke while trying to (trying to)
pretend that it was strong

But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

"Heartaches By The Number"

"Heartaches By The Number"



Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And told me you was coming home to stay
With hoping heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more

Now I've got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop countin'
That's the day my world will end

Oh, the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

One line in reservation, is this

"Here Comes The Night"

"Here Comes The Night"


I can see right out my window
Walking down the street
My girl, with another guy
His arms around her
Like it used to be with me
Hey man, it makes me want to die
Yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

There they go
It's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me

Why can't I accept the fact
She's chosen him
And simply let them be
Whoa whoa whoa

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

[Instrumental]

She's with him he's turning down the lights
And now he's holding her the way I used to do
I can see her closing her eyes
And telling him lies exactly like she told me too
Whoa whoa whoa

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night...

"Hold On To God"

"Hold On To God"



Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life's storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

Satan shall lead down a pathway of sin
Away from your heavenly home
With many great wonders, many great signs
Deceiving all but the strong

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life's storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

Be not misled by miraculous deeds
Performed in the name of the Lamb
For He shall return as a thief in the night
To claim his own once again

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life's storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

"Holding Things Together"

"Holding Things Together"



Holding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job - meant for two

Alice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.

Today was Angie's birthday
I guess it slipped your mind
'Cause I tried twice to call you
With no answer either time

The postman brought a package
I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama
So Angie wouldn't know.

Holding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job - meant for two

Alice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.

Holding things together
With you gone.

"Home For Sale"

"Home For Sale"



Home for sale
That's much too large
Too many rooms
Big ol' empty yard

Far more space
Than the owner needs
Price includes
All memories

Home for sale
Restored like new
It's just a place
Two lives outgrew

A change in heart
Forces move away
Would like to keep
But just can't stay

Listen close and you might hear the sound
What you think is rainfall leaking down

The roof is fine, set aside your fears
It's just a few, remaining tears

Home for sale
Not all that old
A family's dream
Stands dark and cold

Scenic views
That go for free
Of all the love
That used to be

Home for sale
That's much too large

"Home Of The Blues"

"Home Of The Blues"



Just around the corner, there's a heartache
Down the road, all losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops, my friend
I'll meet you at the home of the blues

I walk and I cry as my heartache
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
It's dark here at the home of the blues

But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet, that I cry
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So, if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
I'll meet you at the home of the blues

But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet, that I cry
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So, if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
You're welcome at the home of the blues

I'll take you to the home of the blues
