"Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)"

"Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)"


Livin' in the city
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
But the job demands that you make new plans
Before your big chance is gone

You get a house in the hills
You're payin' everyone's bills
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
But in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is that who you really are"

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in LA
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is this what it's all about"

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in LA
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home [2x]

"Country Girl"

"Country Girl"


About five o'clock in the late afternoon sun's gettin' drowsy above me
Tonight I walk neath the sparkling moon with the girl who is happy to love me
She's my sweet country girl and she's all that I need
The whole world wears the smile when she's talking
Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh

Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...

Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay
About five o'clock in the late afternoon...
She's my sweet country girl yes she is
She's my sweet country girl and I love her she's my sweet country girl

"Crying"

"Crying"


I was all right for a while I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight as you stopped to say hello
Oh you wished me well you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you crying over you
Since you said so long left me standing all alone alone and crying crying crying crying
It's hard to understand that the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's true so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do for you
No don't love me and I'll always be
Crying over you crying over you yes now you're gone but from this moment on
I'll be crying crying oh crying crying yeah crying crying over you

"Daddy Sang Bass"

"Daddy Sang Bass"


I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join that family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky

[Guitar]

I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And you could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a while
(Daddy sang bass...

"Didn't We"

"Didn't We"


This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't We, girl?
This time I had the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand,
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon oh,
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made that long hard climb,
Didn't We almost make it this time?

This time we almost made the pieces fit

"Don't Pull Your Love / Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"

"Don't Pull Your Love / Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"



[Don't Pull Your Love]

[Chorus:]
Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do, I think that maybe I'll just lay
Me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here to drown in my own tears

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here without a single word
But you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
'Cause I know I won't see you any more

[Chorus]

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I throw away my pride and I got down on my knees
Would you make me beg you pretty please

[Chorus]

There's so much I want to do
I've got love enough for two
I'll never use it girl If I don't have you

[Chorus]

[Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye]

Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life time before you leave
If you must go, I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

"Dream Sweet Dreams About Me"

"Dream Sweet Dreams About Me"


Baby won't you dream sweet dreams about me
Let me share your love even if it's only in your mind
Baby won't you dream sweet dreams about me
Dreams of happiness and secret pleasures we have yet to find
And though we're far apart won't you treat me in your heart
Till I'm back in your arms where I belong
And dream sweet dreams about me till I'm home

The time has come and it won't keep that flame on the ground much longer
I've got to say goodbye for a while
So hold me one more time cause hon I'm gonna miss you oh I miss you
So before I go just let me see your smile
And baby won't you dream sweet dreams about me
Let me share your love even if it's only in your mind
And though we're far apart...
Baby won't you dream sweet dreams about me till I'm home

"Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife"

"Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife"


She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way
She picks up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind
Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
And everyday housewife who gave up the good time for me

The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered with age
She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears
And just for a moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...

"Elusive Butterfly"

"Elusive Butterfly"


You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon you may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name as I ran searching after something to believe in You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandonned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
I chase the bright butterfly of love I chase the bright butterfly of love
Bu-bu-bu-butterfly of love bu-bu-bu-butterfly of love
