"Milk Cow Blues"

"Milk Cow Blues"


Well I woke up this mornin', looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow, I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow, please drive her on home
'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter since that cows been gone

Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day
Get out your little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray
'Cause you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry, oh, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys

Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing till you lose your happy home
Well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely when your lover ain't no place around

Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my crying, gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me, you ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey where in this world I've gone
Milk Cow Blues

"Murder On Music Row"

"Murder On Music Row"


Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.

The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang (oh, you tell them Alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.

[Chorus:]
For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock 'n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.

They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I'll still buy 'em)
Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder's been committed down on music row.

[Chorus:]
Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play
With drums and rock 'n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There's been an awful murder down on music row.

"My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You"

"My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You"


Well honey don't you worry I don't need no barroom queens.
Well I admit she sure knows how to fill a pair of jeans.
And I'll admit now darling she sure is showing me her stuff,
But honey it ain't nearly enough.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't never seen her patch a pair of ragged britches,
Stretch a paycheck till it reaches, scratch my back right where it itches.
And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

Now honey you know I honor all the hard times we've been through.
I never could've made it with anyone but you.
And I think I know when a lady is really really tough,
But she don't show me nearly enough.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't never seen her stay up all night with a baby,
Calm me down when I get crazy, fix me grits and red-hot gravy.
I ain't never seen that and honey till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

No I ain't never seen her make a six- room house a castle,
Teach the young one how to wrestle, straighten out my fishing tackle.
And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do my heart won't wander very far from you.

"My Infinite Love"

"My Infinite Love"


When you see a shooting star in the night
When you hear the warm wind whisper through the pines
I want you to know

[Chorus:]
It'll be me and my infinite love for you
It's just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite love

When you think someone is callin' out your name
When you feel that kind of feelin' you can't explain
Now you will know

[Chorus]

I want you to know

[Chorus]

My infinite love
My infinite love

"My Life's Been Grand"

"My Life's Been Grand"


My life's been grand
I been a hand at livin' it up all the way
I've had good times and bad times and hard times and done time
But life's been a blessing every day

My life's been grand
You know I'd write home and tell 'em
But they wouldn't believe how good my luck's been
And if it ended today I've been all the way
My life's been grand
My life's been grand

"My Old Flame Is Burnin' Another Honkey Tonk Down"

"My Old Flame Is Burnin' Another Honkey Tonk Down"


Just a one pump fil-in station
Lord and one old general store
I found her in that wide spot in the road

And the brightest lights she'd ever seen
Were the headlights on my pickup
Till she saw the lights behind those swinging doors

And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground

I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down

So country, young and pretty
She's never been no where before
And I lost her behind those swinging doors

Now it's just me and my old pickup
Making every joint in town
Cuz tonight she's out somewhere to burn one down

And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground

I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down

My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down

"Need I Say More"

"Need I Say More"


You're the only one and only
My heart's beatin' for
I love you, need I say more
Now and ever, we'll be together
Of that you can be sure
I love you, need I say more

I don't know just what it is
That you're needing to hear me say
The way that I'm feeling
Is more than mere words can describe
And all this discussion could never
Do justice to something so heavenly-made
I'd rather tell you
With touches how I feel inside

Let me hold you, let me show you
What true love's all about
In these arms of mine I know you will find
You won't do without anymore
I'll love you forever, need I say more

I don't know just what it is
That you're needing to hear me say
The way that I'm feeling
Is more than mere words can describe
And all this discussion could never
Do justice to something so heavenly-made
I'd rather tell you
With touches how I feel inside

Let me hold you, let me show you
What true love's all about
In these arms of mine I know you will find
You won't do without anymore
I'll love you forever need I say more

I'll love you forever, need I say more

"Neon Row"

"Neon Row"


You've been out again tonight
With the girls out on the town
But in those magic neon lights
I know exactly what you found
What about your home?
And the man who loves you so
Is it worth the thrill you feel
Down on neon row

[Chorus:]
If you're lonely then your easy
Them good ol' boys just pick and choose
And lonely women are in season
A one night stand's an all night lose
And all those lonely high-heeled ladies
Are always putting on a show
But in the morning putting on coffee
And putting back on the clothes they wore the night before
To neon row

Girl I can't hold you back
Not one day longer
If my love ain't strong enough
To keep you home
Just start the fire
To burn the bridges
And maybe some night will lead in the magic light
Down on neon row

[Chorus]

And putting back on the clothes they wore the night before
To neon row

"No One But You"

"No One But You"


I've been to all the ol' familiar places
At least a hundred times
Since you've been gone
I've seen a lot of ol' familiar faces
But again tonight I'm goin' home alone

[Chorus:]
My heart won't let me love no one but you
My mind keeps tellin' me that just won't do
My arms keep reachin' out for someone new
But my heart won't let me love no one but you

I've told myself a million times, it's over
You've gotta face the truth and let her go
Just when I think I've got it all together
Your memory walks around inside my soul

"Nobody Has To Get Hurt"

"Nobody Has To Get Hurt"


As the sun sets and you let go
And my dreams go that way too
And I watch the silhouettes flow out of clear view

[Chorus:]
We can do this thing right
Fix what went wrong
Really make this work
Turn around real slow
Walk straight back to me
Nobody has to get hurt

We can learn from my mistakes now
I don't ask you to forget
But forgive my good intentions and where they went

[Chorus:]
We can do this thing right
Fix what went wrong
Really make this work
Turn around real slow
Walk straight back to me
Nobody has to get hurt
