"Tomorrow Never Comes"

"Tomorrow Never Comes"

Oh, you tell me that you love me
Yes, you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow it is never there.

Many long nights have I waited
Many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning
I would hold you by my side.

But tomorrow never comes
No, tomorrow it ain't gonna ever come
Yes, you told me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes

"Too Cold At Home"

"Too Cold At Home"

Well it sure feels good to come in here and just pull up a seat
A frosty mug of a cool one helps to beat the heat
These old dog days of summer Lord I'll be glad when they're gone
It's too hot to fish too hot for golf and too cold at home
Well that baseball game on TV takes me back to when I was a kid
We proudly wore those uniforms just like the Dodgers did
Yeah we won a few and lost a few and for me it still goes on
It's too hot to fish too hot for golf and too cold at home
Well I only planned on one or two I might stay for three
If that good looking thing in the corner keeps smiling back at me
It's so easy not to care bout what's right or what's wrong
It's too hot to fish too hot for golf and too cold at home

"Too Much Water"

"Too Much Water"

Well, I've been thinking about you all night long
What you been a doing to me
You told me that you love me, I thought that you loved me
But you never was true to me.

Well they say you're getting tired of all your running around
You're wanting me to settle dowm
It too much water run under the bridge
And I'm too mad to come back now.

Well, there's things I've been wanting to tell you
There's a lot of things you need to know
And I don't think I'll wait for a later date
Now's the time to let you know.

'Cause there's been too many nights I've waited at your door
While you run around on me
But I got to thinking my ship started sinking
And I thought I'd better swim the sea.

So now my telephones ringing, pretty girls singing
So go ahead and run around
It's just too much water run under the bridge
And I'm too mad to come back now.

Well, there's things I've been wanting to tell you
There's a lot of things you need to know
And I don't think I'll wait for a later date
Now's the time to let you know.

'Cause there's been too many nights I've waited at your door
While you run around on me
But I got to thinking my ship started sinking
And I thought I'd better swim the sea.

So now my telephones ringing, pretty girls singing
So go ahead and run around
It's just too much water run under the bridge
And I'm too mad to come back now.

"Too Wild Too Long"

"Too Wild Too Long"

You could have knocked me over when you walked in here tonight
I thought by now you'd be somebody's wife
It sure brings back some memories and, Lord, we've made a few
But I'm not back in town to stay, I'm just passing through

The years have hardly touched you and times been on your side
You always looked so good this time at night
But I still got this problem with just four little walls
And just one look should tell you that I haven't changed at all

I've been running too wild, too long
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
You'd be a fool to love me and I'd only do you wrong
Too wild, too long

Sometimes I miss a family, sometimes miss a plane
Sometimes I just don't show up at all and miss out on everything
Girl, if I ain't here tomorrow then take care of yourself
By now you know the way I am it's something I can't help

I've been running too wild, too long
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
You'd be a fool to love me, I'd only do you wrong
Too wild, too long
I've been running too wild, too long, too wild, too long

"Touch Of Wilderness"

"Touch Of Wilderness"

Our story's tough has frankly ever green
And your body is the touch of most down by the water stream
And I love it when I take off my shoes
And take a walk to the wildest part of you

There's a little touch of wilderness in you
There's a bit of queen and blast around you
When I feel the forest socking in my morning dew
Yes that's when I feel the touch of wilderness in you

There's a country flavor in your honey tree
And while I'm here I think a lady drift all over me
And that water hole I always tasted thru
Blames out a little touch of wilderness in you

There's a little touch of wilderness in you
There's a bit of queen and blast around you
When I feel the forest socking in my morning dew
Yes that's when I feel the touch of wilderness in you
There's a little touch of wilderness in you

"Touching Shoulders"

"Touching Shoulders"

Did you know I grew stronger and better because
I had merely touched shoulders with you

There's a comforting thought at the close of the day
When I'm weary and lonely and sad
The feeling takes off our these lonely old hearts
And it tells me be happy and glad

It gets in my soul and it drives out the blues
And finally gets through me through and through
It's an old familiar mem'ry that tells me again
I'm so glad I touched shoulders with you

Did you know you were brave did you know you were strong
Did you know I'm leaning on you
Did you know I grew stronger and better because
I had merely touched shoulders with you
And I'm still touching shoulders with you

"Tramp On Your Street"

"Tramp On Your Street"

It was a long time ago, no shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track to hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn but his spirit was free
And he sang every song looking right straight at me

I'm just a tramp on the street
Hank, you must understand
You've got my soul at your feet
Oh, and my heart in your hand.

Now, I don't have to think and I don't have to cheat
Oh, I don't have to win and I don't want to lose
If I make any hay I'd just float away
I don't count on tomorrow I just live for today.

Sir, I'm a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You've got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand.

Hank, you opened your heart
And you let me inside
And made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight.

Oh, a long time ago no shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of track to hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn but his spirit was free
And he sang every song looking right straight at me.

"Treasure Of Love"

"Treasure Of Love"

I've got a pocket full of pennies,
The heart full of gold
Though my troubles are many,
I have treasures untold.

And the shack that I live in
Is a palace to me
For the treasure of love
The treasure of love, you gave to me.

In this world there are riches
That money can't buy
Like the treasure of true love
A love that won't die.

So why should I worry
What tomorrow will bring
For the treasure of love
The treasure of love, makes me a king.

Though my clothes are all tattered
And I've seen better days
Know it really don't matter
For I'm rich another way.

Yes, my pockets are empty
But still wealthy, I'll be
With the treasure of love
The treasure of love, you gave to me...

"Trouble In Mind"

"Trouble In Mind"

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
Because the sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday.

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19
Pass through my worried mind.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
And I've almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin'
Sometimes I feel like dyin'.

I'm going down to the river
I'm going to buy me a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me
I'm goin' to rock away from here.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
My ole heart is a-beating slow
I never had so much trouble
In my life before.

My good gal she's gone to Sydney
And it sure did grieve my mind
When you see me laughing
I'm just a-trying to keep from cryin'.

Trouble In Mind...

"Try"

"Try"

Well you never know just what you can do till you try
And most folks seem to be satisfied to get by
Why you can do better when you just let her
Prove to the world you're a real go-getter
But you'll never know just what you can do till you try

Until a bird tries it's wings
It doesn't even know it can fly
But soon it goes soaring way off into the sky
You can be great or you can be small
Some things take no talent at all
But you'll never know just what you can do till you try

So pay no attention to the bad things others may say
Just keep looking and searching
And you'll find success on your way
I write songs and I write music
My critics say that don't excuse it
But you'll never know just what you can do till you try

Well you never know just what you can do till you try...
