"House Of Cash"
(feat. Patty Loveless)

"House Of Cash"
(feat. Patty Loveless)


Well the House of Cash just burned down
All the way to the cold hard ground
The doctors came from all over town
To see the memories scattered all around

Then the stars came out by the light of day
And they heard their old friend passed away
That yard looked like a funeral hall
Without the pies and casseroles

[Chorus:]
Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June
Goodbye fancy living room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around

And if those ashes in the pool could talk
To the anchor man out on the walk
I'd bet they'd be happy to announce
There'll be no yard sale now

[Chorus]

And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around

"House With No Doors"

"House With No Doors"


I was there in my trailer,
Down at the job site
The day that this stranger walked in
His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints
And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed
Was there were no doors in the plans
He said if you build this for me
Then when she comes back
She'll never be able to leave me again

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
There's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

O'while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking
I thought I just ruined his day
I just couldn't bear to see this man's last hope slip away
So I thought real fast, and I started talking
Said Buddy we tried this before,
And if there ain't one, she'll make one
Either way she'll run
And leave you a house with a hole for a door

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
If there's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

No, you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

"How 'Bout Them Cowgirls"

"How 'Bout Them Cowgirls"


I felt the rush of the Rio Grande into Yellowstone
And I've seen first-hand Niagra Falls
And the lights of Vegas
I've criss-crossed down to Key Biscayane
And Chi-town via Bangor, Maine
Think I've seen it all
And all I can say is

[Chorus:]
How 'bout them cowgirls
Boys ain't they somthin'
Sure are some proud girls
And you can't tell them nothin'
And I tell you right now girls
May just be seven wonders of this big, old round world
But how 'bout them cowgirls

She's a ridin' colts in Steamboat Springs
Bailing hay outside Abilene
She's trying hard
To fit in some city
But her home is 'neath that big, blue sky
And the Northern Plains and those other wide open spaces

[Chorus]

Boy, she don't need you and she don't need me
She can do just fine on her own two feet
But she wants a man who wants her to be herself
And she'll never change, don't know how to hide
Her stubborn will or her fightin' side
But you treat her right and she'll love you like no on else

Yeah, how 'bout them cowgirls
Boys ain't they somethin'
Sure some are proud girls
But you can't beat their lovin'
And I'll tell you right now girls
May just be seven wonders of this big, old round world
But how 'bout them cowgirls
How 'bout them boys

"I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore"

"I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore"


I pack up my saddle
Throw it in that two-horse trailer
Back up my truck, hook 'em up
And drive away
Won't be the first time
But this time's the last time
She meant it when she said
That's all I've got to say
Never had been thrown like this before
I ain't her cowboy anymore

Never say it comin'
But I knew where it was goin'
When she asked how long this time
Before I hit the road
She didn't come right out and say it
But I sure got the message
When I reached out to hold her
That shoulder sure was cold
Figured I'd just let goodbye run its course
I ain't her cowboy anymore

[Chorus:]
These white lines are a blur
Like the last few nights I spent with her
I don't know where I went wrong
Or if I did
Like the good ol' boy I am
I told her that I understand
But Lord knows that I won't

We met in Denver
Settled down in Dallas
The best days of my life
Were the ones I spent with her
You'd think that all that lovin' ought to count for something
Guess I wore out my welcome
Like the rowels of these old spurs
That Casper sunset's what I'm shootin' for
'Cause I ain't her cowboy anymore

[Chorus]

Her cowboy anymore
I ain't her cowboy anymore

"I Ain't Never Seen No One Like You"

"I Ain't Never Seen No One Like You"


I've traveled through lots of places
Seen lots of folks and lots of faces
Even settled down a time or two
I've worked the frams I've been to town
Guess you could say I've been around
But I ain't never seen no one like you

[Chorus:]
I can tell by your smile you don't believe a word I say
You're thinkin' I'll just stay a while then be on my way
But girl I tthink it's fair to warn ya I've done been
To California
I ain't never seen no one like you

I knew a girl in Mississippi
Had twenty different ways to kiss me
Never found a thing she couldn't do
Hey I even knew some twins in Denver
Stayed with them one cold December
I ain't never seen no one like you

[Chorus]

East to west north to south
You're the very best girl there ain't no doubt
I'm tellin' you you're really somethin'
The way you got my heart a jumpin'
I ain't never seen no one like you

[Chorus]

Hey girl I think it's fair to warn ya I've done been
To California
But I ain't never seen no one like you

"I Believe"

"I Believe"


The night's as clear as a big desert sky
But it's hard to see the stars with these tears in my eyes
Yeah, it's hard not to cry
There's twenty-six reasons why

There's broken hearts that'll never be the same
Shattered lives still reeling from the pain
Of plans and dreams now gone
Oh, how do you move on?

But I believe
There's someone who's looking after me
Someone beside me night and day
To light the way
It's hard to conceive
Something you can't see
But I believe
I believe

There's twenty-six angels looking down from above
resting in his mercy, grace and love
Time may never heel
The sadness that we feel

[Repeat Chorus]

The rivers flow now that used to be dry
As people all over the world start to cry
But I believe

"I Can Still Make Cheyenne"

"I Can Still Make Cheyenne"


Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.

He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone,
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home.
I know I've been away too long.
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"

[Chorus:]
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.

He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.

[Chorus]

"I Can't See Texas From Here"

"I Can't See Texas From Here"


I come and go as I please.
From down here, up North and inbetween,
But baby it's a shame 'cause I always feel the same
When I can't see Texas from here.

[Chorus:]
I can't see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to cry.
So if you see me lookin' down,
I'm tryin' not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here.

I can't say I don't like Tennessee.
The people here have all been good to me.
So please don't take offense if I start to get intense
Just 'cause I can't see Texas from here.

[Chorus 2x]

'Cause I can't see Texas, I can't see Texas,
I can't see Texas from here.

"I Cross My Heart"

"I Cross My Heart"


Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.

[Chorus:]
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

[Chorus]

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine.

"I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor"

"I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor"


There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

[Chorus:]
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I'm free
Today I'm right where Mama
Prayed I'd be
I'm down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

Now, if you're in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I'll tell you what he's done for me
And I know what he'll do for you
It makes no difference what you've done
You've a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

[Chorus]

He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
