"Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love"

"Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love"


I know you're ready you show all the signs
Your eyes sparkle oh how they shine
But you keep saying you can't take another heartache
The way you hold me the way that you move
Your feelings keep showing through
You can't hide it it's written all over your face

Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
You trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes I can see
Baby don't tell me you're not in love

Sweet love songs bring you to tears
Come on baby don't hide your fear
Let your lips say what your heart already knows
Your denial is last thing to fall
The only brick left holding the wall
Don't hold back speak with your heart and your soul

Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
You trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes I can see
Baby don't tell me you're not in love

"Down And Out"

"Down And Out"


Well I'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearing me apart.
If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt
That since my woman left I'm down and out.

[Chorus:]
Well I'm down at the bar, out of my mind.
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind.
(Well) that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about.
Since my woman left I'm down and out.

Well I'm down to my last dollar, but I don't really care.
My friends have all got whiskey, and they don't mind if I share.
They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out.
Since by woman left I'm down and out.

[Chorus]

Since my woman left, since my woman left,
Since my woman left I'm down and out.

"Down Louisiana Way"

"Down Louisiana Way"


[Chorus:]
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I'm going back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you San Francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in L.A.
Look me up down Louisiana way

[Chorus]

Don't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around for me to go
I will miss you

So long friend, quess I'll see you while ago
I might be back sometime, you just never know
I have left a sweetheart north of Whiskey Bay
True love waits down Louisiana way

"Drinkin' Man"

"Drinkin' Man"


I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God
I'd never, ever take another drink again
I fought it like the devil, but you know that you're in trouble
When you're fourteen and drunk by 10 am.
Tried to hide it from my mom and dad, all my friends said "Straighten up"
I just laughed, said, "You don't understand
That's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man"

At sixteen I was on my own and flyin' high and stayin' stoned
I knew everything there was to know
I did things that I can't talk about
I wore my mom and daddy out
Late nights they spent prayin' for my soul
Stayed sober once for nine days in a row
I quit cold turkey and damn near almost made it to ten
But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

I don't know when or where it was or how we met and fell in love
Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me
I tried to pull myself together, hopin' we could last forever
For a while I started to believe
Her daddy said, she's all I got
Son, don't ever break her heart
Promise me before you take her hand
But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man

I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God
I'd never, ever take another drink again

"Drinking Champagne"

"Drinking Champagne"


I'm drinking champagne, feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

[Chorus:]
Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
Havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

[Chorus:]
Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I'll keep havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

"Easy As You Go"

"Easy As You Go"


He saw her after school sippin' on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin' crazy jokes
She turned his motor on, man his heart was gone
Fire down below, easy as you go

Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoa, easy as you go

Graduation night, out behind the stands
In the fading light he became a man
She discovered love better be enough
'Cause baby's gonna grow, easy as you go

Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoa, easy as you go

Judgmental frowns, teacher's lookin' down
Parents all ashamed, passin' out the blame
They got a little room, service station view
The rents too high, pay's too low, whoa, easy as you go

Ain't nothing like a daughter or a son
To make a mama old and keep a daddy young
Make a body dream and give a life a theme
Take the highs and the lows, whoa, easy as you go
Easy as you go

"Easy Come, Easy Go"

"Easy Come, Easy Go"


Says she's had enough of me, I've had enough of her too.
I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.
No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-
That's just the way it sometimes goes.
Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road.

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya condios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come girl, easy go.

We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work.
I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt.
No hard feelings darling, no regrets,
No tears and no broken hearts.
Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards.

[Chorus]

Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya condios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.

"El Rey"

"El Rey"


Yo se bien que estoy afuera, pero el día que yo me muera
Se que tendrás que llorar, dirás que no me quisiste
Pero vas a estar muy triste, y así te vas a quedar

Con dinero y sin dinero, hago siempre lo que quiero
Y mi palabra es la ley, no tengo trono ni reyna
Ni nadie que me comprenca, pero sigo siendo el rey

Me enseñó que mi destino, era rodar y rodar
Despues me dijo un arriero
Que no hay que llegar primero
Pero hay que saber llegar

Con dinero y sin dinero, hago siempre lo que quiero
Y mi palabra es la ley, no tengo trono ni reyna
Ni nadie que me comprenca, pero sigo siendo el rey

"Everytime It Rains (Lord Don't It Pour)"

"Everytime It Rains (Lord Don't It Pour)"


Every time my ship comes in
A hurricane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of paradise
Flew the coop on me last night
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

I got a letter from the I.R.S
They said, son, you're in a hell of a mess
Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more
That machine's made a bad mistake
'Cause that's more than this poor boy makes
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Just got my car out of the shop
Two blocks down the street it stopped
I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
I walked back to my Chevrolet
But they towed that sucker away
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour
Well, every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

"Everytime You Throw Dirt On Her (You Lose A Little Ground)"

"Everytime You Throw Dirt On Her (You Lose A Little Ground)"


I Guess You Think It's Fun
To Laugh at Her Expense
And Point out Each Mistake She Makes
In Front of All Your Friends
You Figure She'll Let it Go by
Cause She Loves You So
But, You Know

Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground
She Slips a Little Farther Away
Each Time That You Put Her down
A Lady like That Can Come Here and Get
Somebody Who Knows What He's Found
Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground

It's Hard to Bite My Lip
But, I Ain't Saying a Word
I Give You All the Rope to Hang Yourself
That You Deserve
You Might Be Ahead of Me in Her Heart Today
But, That's Okay

Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground
She Slips a Little Farther Away
Each Time That You Put Her down
A Lady like That Can Come Here and Get
Somebody Who Knows What He's Found
Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground

Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground
She Slips a Little Farther Away
Each Time That You Put Her down
A Lady like That Can Come Here and Get
Somebody Who Knows What He's Found
Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground

Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground
She Slips a Little Farther Away
Each Time That You Put Her down
A Lady like That Can Come Here and Get
Somebody Who Knows What He's Found
Every Time You Throw Dirt on Her
You Loose a Little Ground
