IF YOU LEAVE HER

IF YOU LEAVE HER

You don't love her like I love her
You don't treat her like I do
You don't tell her the things I tell her
I can't see her walking with you
Who you foolin', fooly-fooling
Who you foolin' with that jive
You don't take her like I take her
You don't care if she lives or dies
I don't mean to talk in trouble
I don't mean to bend your ear
You just leave her standing lonely
If you leave her, leave her here
Leave her here

IF YOU'RE EVER IN OKLAHOMA

IF YOU'RE EVER IN OKLAHOMA

If you're ever in Oklahoma
You better move around at night
'Cause they don't like no transportation
Slipping by in-and-out of sight
And they don't care about Dallas, Texas
And they don't care about Wichita
If you're ever in Oklahoma
You better move around the law
They got fines and they got plenty
They'll hold you up for days on end
Threaten your life and take your money
Make you think you're there to stay

IT'S GOOD TO BE IN AUSTIN

IT'S GOOD TO BE IN AUSTIN

It's good to be in Austin, Texas again
It's good to be in Austin, with my old friends
I waited for this moment
It's all come true
It's good to be in Austin, Texas with you

Come down last night from Denver
Colorado way
Austin's got a fever
What more can I say

I waited for this moment
It's all come true
Yes it's good to be in Austin, Texas with you
Yes I waited for this moment
It's all come true
It's good to be in Austin, Texas with you

IT'S HARD TO TELL

IT'S HARD TO TELL

It's hard to tell
With a casual look
Can you read his mind
Like an open book
When you cross the room
Can you feel his eyes
Is he the one
Gonna make your night
It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies
It's hard to tell
If the feeling's there
Do you seize the moment
Or should you beware
Is he the one
Does it feel just right
When you're face to face
Should you act surprised
It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies
Will he want your number
Will he want your name
Are you going to panic
Or play the game
Will he call tomorrow
Will he call tonight
It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies
It's hard to tell
If he's for real
Mysterious ways
He makes you feel
Is he the one
Does it feel just right
It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies

JAILER

JAILER

Low-light moonlight comes through my window
But these steel bars spoil the view
You know that jailer thinks I'm guilty
He don't know that I'm passing through
Ain't no service in this prison
Ain't no women I can see
Doin' my time now, I been waiting
For that jailer, set me free
Lord that jailer, walks around here
Like he owns my very soul
You know that jailer's got the key
Be so easy, let me go

KATY KOOL LADY

KATY KOOL LADY

Sure do miss you babe
You know it's been a while
Way too long, since you been gone
I'm almost out of style
You treat me kind and gentle
You're always on my mind
A love that's true, I keep for you
Until the end of time
Someday you've got to come back
Stay with me a while
I'll take some time, to make you mine
And keep you out of style

LADY LUCK

LADY LUCK

Lady Luck, please just listen to me
Mistress of fantasy
Send a dream my way
Can you come and make my day
Lady Luck, elusive as you are
You're just a fleeding star
You never hit the sky
With you I seem to fly
Lady Luck, hold on to my hand
I'm standing on shifting sand
I'm a dreamer don't you know
Lady Luck, just don't let go
Lady Luck, hard as it may seem
When you pass out all your dreams
Could you keep me in your mind
I'd like to see you one more time

LEAVING IN THE MORNING

LEAVING IN THE MORNING

tell ol' Jessie he can have my guitar
tell ol' Bob he can have my dog
tell ol' Frank he's welcome to it
if he thinks he wants my job

tell everybody they can have my woman
they done had her anyway
cos I'm leavin' in the morning
and I won't be back this way

if you see miss Sally Walker
tell her I said hello
if you see them fools shootin' pool
tell 'em I had to go

they can have all my tomorrows
I'll give 'em my watch and chain
I'm leavin' in the morning
and I won't be back again

If ol' Jake he wants my Harley
tell him to take a ride
If you know someone that's on the run
and needs a place to hide

They can have the key to my door
It's all I got to my name
I'm leavin' in the morning
And I won't be back again

I'm leavin' in the morning
And I won't be back again
