"There You Go"

"There You Go"

You're gonna break another heart, you're gonna tell another lie
Well here I am and there you go, you're gone again
I know you're gonna be the way you've always been
Breakin' hearts and tellin' lies is all you know
Another guy gives you the eye and there you go
There you go, you're gone again
I should have known, I couldn't win
There you go, you're by his side
You're gonna break another heart, you're gonna tell another lie

Because I love you so I take much more than I should take
I want you even though I know my heart is gonna break
You build me up and for a while I'm all a-glow
Then your fickle heart sees someone else and there you go
Thre you go, you're gone again
I should have known, I couldn't win
There you go, you're by his side
You're gonna break another heart, you're gonna tell another lie

"These Are My People"

"These Are My People"

These are my people this is the land where my forefathers lie
These are my people in brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by
A creed that proclaims that by loved ones blood stains
This is my land and these are my people
These are my people they were born on and lived by the land
These are my people and their cities were raised by hard working hands
And their faces to tell that they're holding on well
To this their land yes these are my people
These are my people these are the ones who will reach for the stars
These are my people that a light of the earth you can tell they are ours
A new step to take and a new day will break
For this my land yes these are my people these're my people hmm

"These Hands"

"These Hands"

These hands aren't the hands of a gentleman
These hands are calloused and old
These hands raised a family, these hands built a home
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord

These hands won the heart of my loved one
And with hers they were never alone
If these hands filled their task then what more could you ask
For these fingers have worked to the bone

Now don't try to judge me by what you'd like me be
For my life hasn't been a success
Some people have power but still they grieve
While these hands brought me happiness

Now I'm tired and I'm old and I haven't much gold
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned
Lord above hear my plea when it's time to judge me
Take a look at these hard working hands

Take a look at these hard working hands

"These Things Shall Pass"

"These Things Shall Pass"

These things shall pass and some great morning
We'll look back and smile at heartaches we have known
So don't forget when shadows gather
The Lord our God is still the King upon His throne

A rose looks gray at midnight but the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong because it knew the hammer and white heat
These things shall pass and life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong they cannot long endure

These things shall pass so don't you worry
The darkest time is just one hour before dawn
So hold up high and face your troubles
And don't dispare if you must face them all alone

A rose looks gray at midnight but the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong because it knew the hammer and white heat
These things shall pass and life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong they cannot long endure

These things shall pass

"They're All The Same"

"They're All The Same"

I've drank wine with winos in the alleys dim I've sipped wine with kings
I've seen wino's harlots makin' love to them I've seen kings with queens
But I find there is no difference to me they're all the same
Except their name for they all need wine and they all need love
To me they're all the same
I've seen the need for just one drink cause the tears to fall from the winos' eyes
I've seen the need for love make a kingdom fall even rich men cry
But I find there is no difference to me they're all the same except their name
For they all need wine and they all need love
To me they're all the same
I watched the weeds grow higher on a pauper's grave where the wino lies
I saw a grave attended by a hundred slaves even rich men die
But I find there is no difference to me they're all the same except their name
For they all need wine and they all need love
To me they're all the same

"Thirteen"

"Thirteen"

Bad luck wind been blowing at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever
I'm at Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

Got a long line of heartache
I carry it well
The list of lives
I've broken reach from here to hell
Back luck been blowing at my back
I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young
They just gave me the number when I was young

"This Is Nazareth"

"This Is Nazareth"

The noises you hear in the background are the different little shops
Here in the market place in Nazareth
There's a man beating out some pans with a hammer there
You know looking at Nazareth especially in this part of Nazareth

You'd be inclined to feel like Nathaniel did when he said to Phillip in the Bible
Can there be any good thing ever come from Nazareth
And John the Babtist preaching repentance down on the Jordan River
Which we'll be seeing later on today

Said there's one coming after me the latchet of whose shoes
I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose
And the prophets had said referring to this place right here
He shall be called a Nazarene

"This Side Of The Law"

"This Side Of The Law"

This Side of the Law
On this side of the law,
On that side of the law,
Who is right? Who is wrong?
Who is weak? Who is strong?
Who is for and who?s against the law?
You see, I didn't really mean and harm,
But I simply couldn't make it on the farm.
When the land won't give a lot
You gotta do with what you got.
And all I got's the muscle in my arm; bum! bum! bum!
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man.
And it seems to me that you could under stand.
I'm just tryin' to help my self without hurtin' somebody else.
And a man has got to do the best he can.
On this side of the law,
On that side of the law,
Who is right? Who is wrong?
Who is weak? Who is strong?
Who is for and who's against the law?
Well, I didn't mean to let my fam'ly down,
And I'm not giving you the run a round.
I'd much rather be dead than have to beg my daily bread.
And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound; bum! bum! bum!
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong.
So long as I stayed here where I belong.
I did the only thing I could,
Same as anybody would.
And I was simply trying to get along.
On this side of the law,
On that side of the law,
Who is right? Who is wrong?
Who is weak? Who is strong?
Who is for and who's against the law?

"This Town"

"This Town"

This Town
This town is not for me,
I won't be stayin' 'round.
This town is hard and cold;
I'm not happy in this town.
I'll pick up my heart and I'll go,
Where to I don't care or know.
Don't matter where I'll be found,
As long as I leave this town.
This town wants me to go,
It ain't where I was bound.
This town don't need me here,
I don't need this town.
To morrow who'll remember my name;
To morrow who'll remember I came.
Don't care which road I'll go down,
As long as it's a way from this town.

"This Train Is Bound For Glory"

"This Train Is Bound For Glory"

We're gonna ride the Bible train now
No some won't ride, but we're going get on the Bible train
Some ride but not all the way
The Bible train is in the yard now and it's waiting and oh it looks so good
But you might get bored and impatient waiting like those two good brothers over there
They pass around the bottle in the car before they got on the train
Just want to take one more for the road and then, that leads to something else
Well they ain't on the train no more and maybe 9 or 10 got off with them
There's a sister in the church and she says to her friend your husband works at night and so does mine, why don't we just
Get together sometime when they're gone and go downtown and find us some action, well then they gotta get off the Bible train.
And then another man he's sitting over there looking at a woman in the corner and he's gives her that eye, you know and they
Meet later, secretly, so they got to get off, this train's got a rule against adultery.
And while all this is happening the train is getting ready to go, but there's a lot more to get off than different reasons
Just before the train pulls out, but listen its starting to move now, listen to it.
Here we go.

As it leaves the man on the caboose with a long white beard says,
This train is bound for glory, this train,
This train is bound for glory, this train,
This train is bound for glory nobody rides it but the righteous and holy,
This train is bound for glory, this train

This train is a free train, this train,
This train is a free train, this train,
This train is a free train,
Everybody rides in Jesus' name

This train is a free train, this train,

This train it don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars,
No false pretenders and no backbiters
This train don't pull no liars, this train.

This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train,
Everybody rides it in Jesus' name
This train is a clean train, this train

Do you want to ride it children, this holy train'
Do you want to ride it children, this righteous train'

Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board this holy train
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board this holy train
