"I Wish I Was Crazy Again"

"I Wish I Was Crazy Again"



I met an old friend this morning
And I stopped him and called him by name
I said, "The years haven't changed you
But he said, "Good Lord, how you've changed!"

So we stood there and talked on the corner
And remembered the good times we had
Then he asked if we're happy together
And I only smiled and I said

"Yes, she keeps me off the streets
And she keeps me out of trouble
Sometimes at night, Lord, when I hear the wind
I wish I was crazy again, yes, I wish I was crazy again"

Then we stopped in at a tavern
We had us a round or two
We called ourselves old desperado's, old desperado's
As old friends are likely to do

We sat for a while and remembered
Then he said, "Let's have just one more"
I said, "I'd sure like to join you
But best be goin' on home"

"Yes, she keeps me off the streets
She keeps me off the streets"

"I Won't Back Down"

"I Won't Back Down"


[Verse 1]
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

[Verse 2]
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

[Verse 3]
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down

[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No I won't back down.

"I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone"

"I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone"



When I come to the river at the ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see he'll be waiting for me I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flon
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan...

Though the billows of trouble and sorrow may sweep
Christ the Saviour will care for his own
Till the end of my journey my soul he will keep and I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan...

"I Would Like To See You Again"

"I Would Like To See You Again"



I was sittin' here thinking about old times some old times some old friends
And suddenly it crossed my mind that I would like to see you again
Remember how we used to walk and talk walk and talk holding hands
Said we loved each other I recall made a lot of future plans
But the years have come and gone and a whole lot has happened since then
But tonight babe your memory's awfully strong on my mind
And I would like to see you again

It's funny how an old flame comes back come on back make you blue
But I just saw a picture of a railroad track and some old shack and me and you
Guess I'd better straighten out my mind straighten it out go to bed
And pray that I don't dream about old times some old times gone and dead
But the years have come and gone...

"I'd Just Be Fool Enough (To Fall)"

"I'd Just Be Fool Enough (To Fall)"



Oh please don't be so careless with your glances
Don't look at me that way and breathe a sigh
Please don't get too close and let me love you
'Cause I just might be fool enough to try

It's not that I don't think I'm worthy of you
But memories from the past I still recall
Please don't get too close and let me love you
'Cause I just might be fool enough to fall

It's not that I don't think I'm worthy of you
But memories from the past I still recall
Oh, please don't get too close and let me love you
'Cause I just might be fool enough to fall

"I'd Rather Die Young"

"I'd Rather Die Young"



I'd rather die young than grow old without you
So don't ever leave me whatever you do
To see someone's picture where my picture hung
Believe me my darling I'd rather die young
I'd rather die young than grow old without you
So don't ever leave me whatever you do
Though others may tempt you and tell you they care
You'll find only sorrow in a secret affair
Don't leave me never leave me please don't leave me never leave me
I'd rather die young..

I'd rather die young...

"I'd Rather Have You"

"I'd Rather Have You"



I'd rather go to a rodeo then shoppin' on rodeo drive
I'd rather lay on the grass with you and watch the planes than to have to fly
I'd rather have you than ringling and barnum & baily circus with all three rings
And the high trapeez and the lady on the horse and the train that carries them thru
Stacked up against all the gold in africa, I'd rather have you

I'd rather share a hotdog with you than dinner with the president
Offer me a castle on a mountain top, I'll take you in a tent
I'd rather be alone with you than to have my very own satellite
To talk and sing and say everything to everybody, do whatever i wanna do
And to be number one on who is who, I'd rather have you

I don't crave applause and praise or holidays with my way paid
I don't want to incorporate nor to be top rate nor a head of state
I don't want to play the digery-do nor the sitar or the kazoo
Just the two of us alone will do, I'd rather have you

I'd rather have tickets to the movies with you than the one that wins the lottery
Rather walk on the beach with you than to own all the ships at sea
I'd rather have you than the qe2 and the eiffel tower, the royal jewels

And the brooklyn bridge, and the toll pay to go thru
And throw in a texas well or two, I'd rather have you

"I'd Still Be There"

"I'd Still Be There"



I overlooked a lot of things I knew I should have done
I did things that I'm sorry for I lived to have my fun
But now the world that once was bright is empty and bare
And if you wouldn't be ashamed of me I'd still be there
I'd be with you where I belong
And nothing they could do or say could make me think it's wrong
If all the love that made you mine could make you still care
I'd be by your side I'd still be there

I'd give the world if I could only have you close to me
I'd pray the Lord to keep you safe wherever you may be
Don't let anybody share the things we used to share
If I only knew you loved me too I'd still be there
I'd be with you where I belong...
I'd be by your side I'd still be there

"I'll Always Love You (In My Own Crazy Way)"
(with Waylon Jennings)

"I'll Always Love You (In My Own Crazy Way)"
(with Waylon Jennings)



The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me and love another
You'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all of my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

"I'll Be Loving You"

"I'll Be Loving You"


[Johnny Cash:] When your friends don’t call you like you thought they would
When you can’t get over me like you thought you could
When you can’t forget me the way you planned to do, remember
[June Carter:] I’ll be loving you

[Johnny:] On a cold and lonely morning
[Both:] I’ll be loving you
[Johnny:] On a dark and lonely evening
[Both:] I’ll be loving you

[Johnny:] One happy day you’ll be back
[Both:] Cause you know that we ain’t through
I’ll roll you in my arms again
I’ll be loving you

[Johnny:] When your memory of me is a heavy load
When you feel you’re traveling down a muddy road
When the new love that you’re craving don’t do like he ought to do, remember
[Both:] I’ll be loving you

[Johnny:] On a cold and lonely morning
[Both:] I’ll be loving you
[Johnny:] On a dark and lonely evening
[Both:] I’ll be loving you

[Johnny:] One happy day you’ll be back
[Both:] Cause you know that we ain’t through
I’ll roll you in my arms again I’ll be loving you
