"Love's Not Where Love Should Be"

"Love's Not Where Love Should Be"



In the past few months all lives have changed
We no longer speak each other's name
We turned around and love was gone
We don't even know what went wrong.

We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.

We worked so hard to build a home
I guess we thought that love grew on and on
If we had worked this hard on you and me
Love would be where love supposed to be.

We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be...
Love's not where love should be

"Mad Mrs. Jesse Brown"

"Mad Mrs. Jesse Brown"



I've been in and out of every honky tonk in town
And I'm almost drunk from the drinks
That I've turned down
Well, you told me you'd be happy
Bouncin' babies on your knee
While I sit at home alone
And I've been bouncin three
Yeah, and I'm tired of it too

I'm gonna call myself a long pick limousine
Yeah, believe it or not it's the prettiest thing
I think I've ever seen
There's a big bar in the corner, and a TV on the side
This baby's 60 feet long and 40 feet wide

Hey driver pull this car, buddy, right inside the bar
Take it on back to the big ol' blonde
That thinks she's amovie star
I'm gonna grab her by her phony ponytail

I'm gonna sling her around and around
When she wakes up she'll know she met up
With Mad Mrs. Leroy Brown

Well the smokes so dog gone thick
You could cut it with a knife
And the music so loud
You can hear the same line twice
Hey Leroy Brown, how do you like my big old pink limo
I just drawed all your money outta the bank today
Honey, you don't have no mo'

I'm gonna call myself a long pick limousine
Yeah, believe it or not it's the prettiest thing
I think I've ever seen
There's a big bar in the corner, and a TV on the side
This baby's 60 feet long and 40 feet wide

"Making Plans"

"Making Plans"


You say tomorrow you're going it's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling like a tree that shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome cause you're making plans to leave
[ steel ]
Yes you're making plans to leave

"Mama Why"
(feat. Ernest Ray)

"Mama Why"
(feat. Ernest Ray)



(Oh mama why did God take my daddy cause I'd been good just like he said to be
I heard daddy pray dear Lord don't take me from them
Oh mama why did God take him from me)
Come here son you've asked mama somethin' that's even hard for me to understand
For there's one thing I do know
Daddy wouldn't gonna see those tears in the eyes of this big man
So stop cryin' now and listen real careful to every word mama has to say
You see son God picks the sweetest most beautiful flowers that grow
And he makes them the brightest shiniest stars that glow
Now daddy talk with the Lord every day and daddy and God'll be real close
So let's just say it seems that God takes the ones he loves the most
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy)
Son you haven't heard a word that mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers and mama tuck you in bed
And we must have questioned God cause he already has everything planned
And honey daddy can't ever come back to us though we can go to him
(Oh mama why did God take him from me)

"Man I Hardly Know"

"Man I Hardly Know"


In a booth back in a corner where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man I hardly know

I let the devil take over this heart of mine
When I lost your love well I almost lost my mind
I never thought I'd ever fall this low but here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...
[ steel ]
I do the things a proper lady wouldn't do
And it all started that first night when I lost you
To see me now you wouldn't know me I'm changed so
Cause here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...

"Man Of The House"

"Man Of The House"


When the man of the house ain't never home
Here I am again tonight all by myself
It's not hard to figure out that you're out with someone else
So this girl's gettin' ready gettin' sad to go wrong
Cause the man of the house ain't never home
When the man of the house ain't never home
That's enough to cause most women to go wrong
When you stagger in tonight and find me gone
It's cause the man of the house ain't never home
[ steel - piano ]
You didn't think that I would ever slip and fall
Well that's what you get forsaken and don't forget you caused it all
And it gets pretty lonesome when you'll have to sleep alone
When the man of the house ain't never home
When the man of the house...
No the man of the house ain't never home

"Manhattan Kansas"

"Manhattan Kansas"


Manhattan Kansas ain't no place to have a baby
If you got no man to give it his last name
And my folks back in Manhattan didn't want me or her bundle
So I took my child and caught an evening train
I got a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
At least it buys my baby milk to drink
He once told me I was pretty but the only ring it got me
Is the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Yes I laid beside him gentle cause he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him I'd rather wash my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands're clean
[ steel ]
At night I stands there thinkin' bout the men back home in Kansas
And how my folks just turned away ashamed
I look down through the soap suds reache down and pulls the drain plug
And watches as Manhattan drains away
Yes I laid beside him gentle...

"Me And Bobby McGee"

"Me And Bobby McGee"



La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield whipers slappin' time I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
Searching for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word...
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...

"Minute You're Gone"

"Minute You're Gone"


The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die
Before you walked out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness
My world goes from right to wrong the minute you're gone
The minute you're gone I see just how lonely I'm gonna be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone
[ piano ]
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone

"Miss Being Mrs."

"Miss Being Mrs."



I lie here all alone,
In my bed of memories
I'm dreamin' of your sweet kiss,
Oh, how you loved on me.

I can almost feel you with me,
Here in this blue moonlight,
Oh, I miss being Mrs., tonight

Like so many other hearts,
Mine wanted to be free,
I've been put here every day,
Since you've been away from me

My reflection in the mirror,
It's such a hurtful sight,
Oh I miss being Mrs. tonight
Oh I miss being Mrs. tonight

And how I loved them loving arms,
That once held me so tight,
I took off my wedding band,
And put it on my right hand,
I miss being Mrs. tonight.

Oh I miss being Mrs. tonight
And how I loved them loving arms,
That once held me so tight,
I took off my wedding band,
And put it on my right hand,
I miss being Mrs. tonight
Oh, I miss being Mrs. tonight
