I'M GONNA MAKE REAL SURE

I'M GONNA MAKE REAL SURE


I'm gonna make real sure
That you don't make her blue
I'm gonna make real sure
She forgets about you
You took her from me
By the way you lied
For her happiness
I stepped aside
You didn't treat her good
Right from the start
And you really made me mad
When you broke her heart
I'm gonna make real sure
That you don't make her blue
I'm gonna make real sure
She forgets about you
You played it smart
You played it cool
You played love's game
By your own rules
But if you're so smart
How come you didn't see
When you broke her heart
You'd have to answer to me
And I'm gonna make real sure
That you don't make her blue
I'm gonna make real sure
She forgets about you
You might as well get packed
And get out of town
Don't try to see her
Don't you hang around
'Cause if I catch you
And I sure would like to
When I get done
She might feel sorry for you
And I wanna make real sure
That you don't make her blue
I'm gonna make real sure
She forgets about you.

I'M GONNA MOVE TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN

I'M GONNA MOVE TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN


Now let me tell you baby
Gonna move you away from here
Don't want an iceman
Who'll buy you Frigidaire
When we move
Way on the outskirts of town
‘Cause I don't want nobody
Who's always hangin' ‘round

I wake up every morning
It's a low down dirty shame
Got your men baby pecking
On my window pane
I'm gonna move
Way on the outskirts of town
‘Cause I don't want nobody
Who's always hangin' ‘round

Well it may seem funny honey
Funny as can be
If I have any children
Let ‘em all look just like me
I'm gonna move
Way on the outskirts of town
‘Cause I don't want nobody
Who's always hangin' ‘round

Well, I saw you wigglin' and gigglin'
I'm as mad as I can be
We've got seven children
And none of them look like me
I'm gonna move
Way on the outskirts of town
‘Cause I don't want nobody
Who's always hangin' ‘round

I'm gonna move
I'm gonna move
I'm gonna move
I'm gonna move, move, move

I'M HERE TO GET MY BABY OUT OF JAIL

I'M HERE TO GET MY BABY OUT OF JAIL


"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
To the warden of the penitentiary

"I'm not in your town to stay
And I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

"I tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad"

"I have searched both far and wide
And I feared that he had died
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail"

"It was just 5 years today
When his daddy passed away
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white"

"'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
And his gold watch and his chain
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave
Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"

"I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring"

"I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If that will get my baby out of jail
Yes, warden, if that will get my baby out of jail"

Then I heard the warden say
To the lady old and gray
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side"

Two iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died

"I'm not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

I'M MOVIN' ON

I'M MOVIN' ON


Ah, that big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' baby ain't comin' back
I'm a-movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm a-movin' on

Ah, that big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello Alabama, I'm coming to you
I'm a-movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm movin' on
Oh, Oh, Oh

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind
I'm a-movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm a-movin' on
Oh, Oh, Oh

I'm a-movin' on (I'm movin' on)
I'm a-movin' on (I'm movin' on)
I'm a-movin' on (I'm movin' on)
I'm a-movin' on (I'm movin' on)
I'm a-movin' on (I'm movin' on)

I'M NOT ANGRY

I'M NOT ANGRY


I hope your radio won't play until I've had my say
I hope your mail always fails to reach you
Until you wanna hear from me
I hope your wristwatch goes berserk
But I'm not angry, I'm just hurt

I hope your phone will never ring and you can never sing
I hope your car doesn't start, cannot move
Until you wanna be with me
I hope your brand new dress gets torn
But I'm not angry, just forlorn

I'll make a voodoo dance to fit with bats and owls
We'll haunt your house on rattle chains
We'll hang around until you call my name
And tell me that you want me back again

I hope your records always break, your shoes make your feet ache
I hope your luck will get stuck on black cats
Until you want a kiss from me
I hope your TV's always bad
But I'm not angry, I'm just sad

I'M ON MY WAY HOME AGAIN

I'M ON MY WAY HOME AGAIN


No I don't think I'll ever get on a train again
I'll just smile and wave at the engineer
I'll put my guitar in a gunny sack
And walk away and I won't back
And when the whistle blows my name
I'll say
Whooo-oo-whooo
I'm on my way home again

No I don't think I'll ever come this way again
I'll be content with the pictures in my mind
I'll remember how that lonesome road
Used to press my back like a heavy load
And when the diesel calls my name
I'll say
Whooo-oo-whooo
I'm on my way home again

Monday I'll just sit and look out the window
Tuesday I'll just spend the day drinking beer
Wednesday will find me asleep at the TV
The rest of the week will be free, free
No I don't think I'll ever get on a train again
I'll just smile and wave at the engineer
I'll put my guitar in a gunny sack
And walk away and I won't back
And when the whistle blows my name
I'll say
Whooo whooo
I'm on my way home again

I say
Whooo whooo
I'm on my way home again
Whooo whooo
I'm on my way home again
Whooo whooo

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY


Hear that lonesome Whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a Robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'M TAKIN' MY TIME

I'M TAKIN' MY TIME


So, you want to come home
You want a chance to do right
But your will to do wrong always wins
You'll turn back again
Like a thief to a crime
If I'm takin' you back,
I'm takin' my time

Since, you've been away
I've had a lot on my mind
But nothing to say about love
I'm calling your bluff and
Now your ringing my line
If I'm takin' you back,
I'm takin' my time

Every time you leave you say you'll come back home
But this time you've been too long gone
Well I'm takin' my time gettin' back into
All the trouble that begins and ends with you

Now, you're comin' on strong
With all the moves that I love
You think it won't take me long to give in
But honey I've been
Playin' this scene in my mind
If I'm takin' you back,
I'm takin' my time

Now you're comin' on strong
With all the moves that I love
You think it won't take me long to give in
But honey I've been
Playin' this scene in my mind
If I'm takin' you back,
I'm takin' my time

I can see leavin' in your eyes
So as long as you're breakin' my heart
I'm takin' my time,
I'm takin' my time

I'M TIRED OF SINGING MY SONG IN LAS VEGAS

I'M TIRED OF SINGING MY SONG IN LAS VEGAS


Turn the wheel and let it spin
Tip the glass and see the bottom
Can't you see you'll never win
Oh, I'm tired of singing my song in Las Vegas

Where's the last real place you've been
Getting here is lots of trouble
Oh, I'm not coming back again
Oh, I'm tired of singing my song in Las Vegas

Tries to imitate the world
Just like looking in a window
Plastic men and painted girls
Oh, I'm tired of singing my song in Las Vegas

Monuments are built by man
Pantheons with plastic columns
Take a look at Boulder Dam

ILLINOIS

ILLINOIS


Clean Prairie winds blow from Rockford to Cairo
Over the cornfields that gleam in the sun
And off in the east glow, the lights of Chicago
When daylight is ended and night has begun
In Illinois, Illinois

The skyline, the stockyard,
The Gold coast, the grain fields
Chicago, the giant, that leads all the rest
Chicago where trains roll, into the station
The heart of the nation, the start of the West
In Illinois, Illinois
In Illinois, Illinois

Blue haze of winter
Hangs over the Prairie
Feel the soft winds of spring
Chase the chill from the air
Bright August morning
When the warm summer rains falls
And brisk autumn days
With a harvest to share
In Illinois, Illinois
Illinois, Illinois
