"Worth Fighting For"

"Worth Fighting For"



Sunset on the highway to old Mexico
Ruby like the wind upon my face
Thunder from a storm on the horizon far away
Ruby cut directly to the chase

She said,
"Anywhere you're going baby
You just gotta know I'm on your side. (I always was)
When you climb upon the stallion
You are bound to let him take you for a ride
All the way."

I know I'm still wild enough for you
And you know you, you can always count on me
Baby, we used to be worth fighting for
So tell me, are we?

Anything like anything we used to be
Or tried to make believe before the fall?
Tell me how the hell you keep your spirit (Remember spirit?)
Strong enough to answer to the call

Ruby closed her eyes and faced the heavens
She said, "Take me to the stars one more time"
I was doin' eighty, but I pushed her through the floor
And watched her climb
Outta sight, outta mind

I know I'm still wild enough for you
And you know you, you can always count on me
Baby, we used to be worth fighting for
So tell me, are we?

"You Don't Tell Me What To Do"

"You Don't Tell Me What To Do"



So the highway is where I believe I belong
Losing myself in the soul of a song
And the fight for the right to be righteously wrong
It’s a story that’s sad but it’s true

So I sing my own songs
And I drink when I’m thirsty
And I will go on
Making music, and whiskey,
and love for as long
As the spirit inside me
Says you don’t tell me what to do

Gone are the reasons for changing my mind
Gone like the future that I left behind
If you want to I warn you
You’re wasting your time
You don’t tell me what to do

You don’t tell me what to do

"You Show Me Yours (And I'll Show You Mine)"

"You Show Me Yours (And I'll Show You Mine)"



If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine

No ma'm I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings on your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows I've been there before you and I understand

If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine

I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling a view ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find

If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine

So you show me yours and I'll show you mine

"You're Gonna Love Yourself (In The Morning)"
(with Rita Coolidge)



Heaven knows that some man has abused you
I guess that's why you think I'm gonna use you
You'd hate yourself in the morning cause you wake up and I'll be gone
You give me just one more chance I can prove you're wrong
And you're gonna love yourself in the morning cause I'm gonna love you all night long
You're gonna love yourself in the morning and every morning from now on

I know what you're thinkin' and I don't blame you
I know it's gonna take a whole lotta lovin' to change you
But when I wake you in the mornin' you're gonna find that I'm still your flirt
You'll see how it can be such a beautiful world
You're gonna love yourself in the morning...
Yes every morning from now on
