"Thanks For Nothing"

"Thanks For Nothing"


I thank you from the bottom
Of my broken heart
Thanks a lot for the plan
That never had a start

Much ablige for all that I'd been
I'll never know
Thanks for nothing
That's what you gave to me

I appreciate all the dreams
That came unglued
Thanks a lot for all the times
You made me blue

Thanks a million darlin'
For all the pain and misery
That's right
Thanks for nothin'
That's what you gave to me

Thanks for nothin'
That's all I got from lovin' you
Unless you count the heartaches
That pulled Jerry through

Thanks for the dreams
I know that will never be
Thanks for nothin'
That's what you gave to me

Thanks for nothin'
That's what you gave to me

Thank you baby!

"That Kind Of Fool"

"That Kind Of Fool"


Look at that fool, going home, to his wife,
Look at that fool, he never lies out all night

He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue,
Wish I could have been that kind of fool

Look at that fool, have one drink now he headin' home,
Look at that fool, leavin' that beautiful lady all alone

Then go home to someone, who loves him true,
Wish ol' Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

But I try, I can't do it darling,
Not even for you,

Woman it's not, that Jerry Lee don't love you,
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool, going home to his wife,
Look at that fool, he never stays out drunk all night

He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue,
Wish I could have been that kind of fool

But I try, I can't do it darling,
Not even for you,

Woman it's not, that Jerry Lee don't love you,
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool, have one drink now he headin' home,
Look at that fool, he is leavin' that woman all alone

Then go home to someone, who loves him true,
Wish I could have been that kind of fool
Whooh I wish Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

"The Pilgrim Ch. 33"
(originally by Kris Kristofferson)

"The Pilgrim Ch. 33"
(originally by Kris Kristofferson)



See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams
Which he spent like they was going out of style
And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse
And searchin' for a shrine he's never found
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse
Or if the going up is worth to coming down
He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars
And he's traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin' from the devils Lord and reachin' for the stars
And losin' all he loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse
All he ever gets is older and around
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
The going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet he's a picker...
There's lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home

"There Must Be More To Love Than This"

"There Must Be More To Love Than This"


I wake up in the morning I'm still crying, yes I am
And on my lips I can taste your goodnight kiss
In my room the fragrance of your perfume lingers
And I know there must be more to love than this
I look across my lonely room and see your picture
Your loving smiling face I know I miss, yes I would darlin'
And I remembered to another you're still married
And I know there must be more to love than this

The ringing phone sounds like the doorbell to heaven, oh Lord
Your voice sounds like an angel full of bliss
But I'll go through hell tonight if I don't see you
And I know there must be more to love than this
There must be more to love than stolen moments
This love it should have brought me happiness
Ever since we started lovin' I've been hurtin' hurtin' hurtin'
And I know there must be more to love than this
Yes I know there must be more to love than this

"There Stands The Glass"

"There Stands The Glass"


There stands the glass
That will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain
It's my first one today
There stands the glass
That will hide all my fears
That will drown all my tear
Brother, I'm on my way
I'm wondering where you are tonight
I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today

I'm wondering where you are tonight
I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass
Fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim
It's my first one today

"Things That Matter Most To Me"

"Things That Matter Most To Me"


Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall
And there are some things that I would surely like to forget
I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between
But you know something neighbors I haven't reached to my highest mountain yet
Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again
And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe
I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me
And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago
I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana
The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain
You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday
Oh Lord and for a while be mama's little boy again
You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can't buy
Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on
And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why
Then I'll then I'll never never never walk alone
Yes these are the things that matter most to me
Precious mem'ries from your friend Jerry Lee

"Think About It Darlin'"

"Think About It Darlin'"


Search the corners of your precious heart and if you find something there
And there's anyway to call it love and we still got a prayer
I've got more love for you sweetheart than you'll ever find again
So before you close that door on me think about it darlin'
Think about it darlin' give yourself a little time
Consider all you mean to me and you might change your mind
Mhm I haven't been the kind of man you wanted me to be
But if you stay'll darlin' I'll try to change. don't give up on Jerry Lee
Lord things were good between us once I know they could be again
And there's nothing good about goodbye think about it darlin'
(There's nothing good about goodbye) think about it darlin'

"Thirteen At The Table"

"Thirteen At The Table"


Thirteen at the table to honor of the man
He broke the bread and he poured the blood red wine
He blessed the food and told them this'll be his final supper
And he told them all to love their fellow men

The story starts where it was nearly ended it's the greatest story told to all mankind
We took the only one on earth that ever really matter
And when we were through he had been crucified
He was a carpenter who mended broken body brought here by our creators master plan
He walked this earth and he never ever tried to hurt another
But when we were through he had been crucified

Thirteen at the table to honor of the man
He broke the bread and he poured the blood red wine
He blessed the food and told them this'll be his final supper
And he told them all to love their fellow men

Well they took him on a cross to a calvary Mary watched the stone by night and day
An angel came and told her on third day he had risen
But watch neighbors cause he's coming back this way
Waiting for the day of his returning he's right waiting for the dew to hit the ground
You'll never know just when it comes until it's all around you
Let's be prepared when he comes back around

Thirteen at the table to honor of the man
He broke the bread and he poured the blood red wine
He blessed the food and told them this'll be his final supper
And he told them all to love their fellow men

Well we'll ever learn to love our fellow men

"Thirty-Nine And Holding"

"Thirty-Nine And Holding"


He's out there somewhere every night
The music's playin' loud
He's doing all-a those fifty's steps
He's in a 1980 crowd

Dim lights hide the milage line
Clairol hides the gray
And he won't mention anything
To give his old age away

Oh Lord, he's thirty-nine an he's holdin'
He's holdin' everything that he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
He'll prove he's still a man

Hey boy, you're holding to a candle
And it's a-burning at both ends
Thirty-nine and holding
A-holdin' everything that I can

Well, now you can bet he'll never see
Thirty-nine, again
Son, you oughta given up a long time ago
But you just keep on hangin' in

He still thinks that he's the man
That he once used to be
Boy, you're just thirty-nine
And you're dreamin'
Acting twenty-three

Oh-oh, he's thirty-nine, he's holdin'
Holdin' everything that he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
He'll prove he's still a man

He's a-holding to a candle
My God, it's burning at both ends!
He's thirty-nine and he's holdin'
Holdin' everything he can

"Time Changes Everything"

"Time Changes Everything"


There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken and our romance seemed all in vain
The dark clouds're gone there's whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Cause time changes everything

Time has passed then I have forgot you yes I have
Mother nature does wonderful things
But I guess that it's true for me and for you cause time changes everything
Oh you change the name of an old song rearrange it and now make it swing
I thought nothing could stop ol' Jerry Lee from loving you but time changes everything
So goodluck to you may God bless you I can't say we won't love again
You have gone your way and ol' Jerry's gonna his cause time has changed everything
I said time has changed everything
