"I Don't Have To Wonder"

"I Don't Have To Wonder"


Drove to the church
In my suit and tie
But I just couldn't bring myself
To go inside

So I sat alone
In my truck across the street
Watched that chauffeur smokin' cigarettes
By that long white limousine

I could just imagine
What was goin' on in there
Sunlight screamin' through the stained glass
And those flowers in her hair

And in less time than it takes a tear to fall
Those bells rang loud as thunder
As they opened up the doors
Now I don't have to wonder anymore

Laughin' and a cryin'
Tossin' that bouquet
And when you got in that limo
I drove off the other way

And I still don't know
Why things happened like they did
But I parked that old pickup
On that lonesome river bridge

I took your ring from my pocket
An d I held it one last time
Watched that diamond sparkle
I drew back and I let her fly

And in less time than it takes to tear to fall
Oh that old ring went under
Lord, and now it's gone for sure
No and I don't have to wonder anymore

Well the angels sang like thunder
As I felt myself go under
Now I don't have to wonder anymore

"I Know One"

"I Know One"


When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you
When all your loves have gone

Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you
I know one

This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all
But you might need this fool around in case you fall
After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you...I know one

You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list
After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you...I know one...I know one

"I'd Rather Have Nothing"

"I'd Rather Have Nothing"


Jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas
Morning found me in Port Aranas
Sipping on rum
In that warm Texas sun
I've never been good at keeping direction
And i believe schedules are one of life's worst inflections
And i gotta be free
'Cause I'd rather nothing
Than a whole lot of something I don't need

I'd rather have nothing
Than a whole lot of something
That don't fit the life that i lead
material things and all that wealth brings
just must be for some other breed
'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
That comes with the lust and the greed
and i'd rather have nothing
that a whole lot of something we don't need

I spent that evening in a tavern in town
with a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round
and i told them 'bout you
and all the hell we'd been through
everyone there had a similar story
years full of tears from all the heartache and worry
and we all agreed
that we'd rather have nothing
than a whole lot of something we don't need

i'd rather have nothing
than a whole of something
that don't fit the life that i lead
commintments and strings and all that love brings
just must be for some other breed
'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
that comes wtih the lust and the greed
and i'd rather have nothing
than a whole lot of something i don't need

0h, i'd thater have nothing
than a whole lot of someting i don't need

"I'll Be The Wind"

"I'll Be The Wind"


You let him lock you away in his prison of sadness
It's up to you to decide where tomorrow will lead
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need

I'll be the wind, I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend and we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again, I'll be the wind

I can't imagine the gypsy that you were before him
Carefree and wild a spirited child of the road
Lately girl you've been wearing the weight of the world
And I'd lied to lighten you load

I'll be the wind, I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend and we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again, I'll be the wind

If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need

I'll be the wind, I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend and we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again, I'll be the wind

"I've Got A Good Thing Going"

"I've Got A Good Thing Going"


She swears there's nothing wrong, but something's missing
She's never been much good at telling lies
'Cause you can hear the sound of leaving, if you listen
This may be California, but Oklahoma's in her eyes

I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
It's killing me that she's as good as gone

By now she must be tired of always giving
And tired of what she's getting in return
I guess Oklahoma's more her style of living
'Cause I can see her heart is heading 'cross a bridge I thought she'd burned

I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
It's killing me that she's as good as gone

Lord it's killing me that she's as good as gone

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"


Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

"In Lonesome Dove"

"In Lonesome Dove"


She was a girl on a wagon train
Haded west across the plains
The train got lost in a summer storm
They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train
And she looked down and her heart was gone
The train went west but she stayed on
In Lonesome Dove

A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
A blooming rose in a bed of sand
She loved the man who wore a star
A Texas Ranger known near and far
So they got married and they had a child
But times were touch and the West was wild
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove

Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove

She watched her boy grow into a man
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
He wore his star for all to see
He was a Texas lawman legacy
The one day word blew into town
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove

The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
Though no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove
Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove

"Ireland"

"Ireland"


They say mother earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilights door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
Watching o'er us all the while
And her heart it is in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle

We are forty against hundreds
In someone else's bloody war
We know not why were fighting
Or what we're dying for
They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns to sky
Death is waiting for its dance now
Fate has sentenced us to die

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland

Oh the captain he lay bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These men are yours now for the leading
Show them to their destiny
As I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland

Now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge the dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near
There are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say good-bye I draw a breath and night is broken
As I scream our battle cry

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Yes I am home Ireland

We were forty against hundreds

"It Don't Matter To The Sun"

"It Don't Matter To The Sun"


It don't matter to the sun
If you go or if you stay
I know the sun is gonna rise
Shine down on another day

There still be a tomorrow
Even if you choose to leave
'Cause it don't matter to the sun, oh baby
It matters to me

It ain't gonna stop the world
If you walk out that door
This old world will just keep turning 'round, turning 'round
Like it did the day before

'Cause see to them it makes no difference, ohh
It just keep on keepin' time
'Cause it ain't gonna stop the world out there
But it'll be the end of mine

What can I say?
What can I do?
I'm still in love
So why aren't you?

Oh yeah, oh yeah
What can I say?
What can I do?
I'm still in love
So why aren't you?

It don't matter to the moon
If you're not in my life
No the moon will just keep hangin' 'round, hangin' 'round
Like it's just another night

Find another place to shine on down
On some other lover's dreams
'Cause it don't matter to the moon, oh baby
But it sure do matter to me

No it don't matter to the moon, oh baby
But it matters to me

"It's Midnight Cinderella"

"It's Midnight Cinderella"


It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I guess your prince charming
Wasn't after all
'Cause he sure seemed different right after the ball
I guess more than horses are turnin' into rats
And by the way he's walkin'
I can guess where your slipper's at

It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm gonna help you get over
Bein' under that spell
You're gonna learn to love midnight
Inside this pumpkin shell
I gotta few new magic tricks
Your godmother can't do
I'll show you what it means to
Bip, bip, bip, bip, boppity boo

It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party has now begun
