"Portland, Oregon"
(feat. Jack White)

"Portland, Oregon"
(feat. Jack White)



Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon

In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon

Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon

Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go

And a pitcher to go [repeat]

"Put It Off Until Tomorrow"

"Put It Off Until Tomorrow"


Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're goin' away but leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
[ steel - piano ]
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

"Put Your Hand In The Hand"

"Put Your Hand In The Hand"



Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Every time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I confess to be
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be
Put your hand in the hand...

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees that's when I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life for eight kids and wife you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get you through
Put your hand in the hand...
Put your hand in the hand...
Put your hand in the hand...

"Race Is On"

"Race Is On"


Well I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
Now you might say that I was takin' it hard that he wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ guitar - steel ]
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and findin' that you're gone from me
Cause there's ache and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win him and I came out in second place
Now the race is on...

"Rated X"

"Rated X"


Well if you've been a married woman and things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free so you're gonna be talked about
Everybody knows that you've loved once so they think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend when you're a has been of a woman you're rated X
And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake
And when your best friend's husband says to you you've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would and he would if he could and he will if you're rated X
[ steel ]
Well nobody knows where you're goin' but they sure know where you've been
All their thinkin' of is your experience of love their minds eat up with sin
The women all look at you like you're bad and the men all hope you are
But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar of a woman rated X
And if you're rated X...

"Red White And Blue"

"Red White And Blue"



Red comes from my Grandpa, he's an all American Brave.
White come from my Grandma, she's a red-headed Irish maid.
The blue come from the man I love, 'cause this boy said I do.
That leaves me a mixed-up with the red, white and blue.

I'm red, white and blue, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
And proud of it too.

I'm a blue-eyed Indian squaw, everybody calls me a half-breed.
That's what you get when you sow a little red and a white seed.
The white man said he'd marry me, he liked cold turkey too.
That leaves me a mixed-up with the red, white and blue.

I'm Red White and Blue, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
And proud of it too.

The great white powers had a plan to take the red man's land.
Well, I bet you think I'm petulant, but I'd never lie to you.
There's warrior's blood runs through my veins, an' I wish my skin was true.
Wish my skin was true.

I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh

"Release Me"

"Release Me"


[Loretta]
Release me darlin', let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.

[Conway]
Oh, I have found a new love dear.
And I'll always want her near.
Her lips are warm while yours are cold.
Release me, darling, let me go.

[Both]
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.

Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again...

"Rhinestone Cowboy"

"Rhinestone Cowboy"



Keepin' walkin' these streets so long singin' the same old song
He knows every crack on those dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin' on the road to his horison
But he's gonna be where the lights are shinin' on him
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy ridin' out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy gettin' cards and letter from people he don't even know
And offers coming over the phone

He really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's taking the long way
And he dreams of the things he'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside his shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'...
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy...

"Rose Garden"

"Rose Garden"


I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover so you'd better think it over
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
[ steel ]
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly...
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

"Ruby Madge And Mable"

"Ruby Madge And Mable"


Sometimes true love has to choose to do what it don't want to do
And sometimes patience has to give up a hanging on
Darling I'll be far away and you'll be wishing I had stayed
After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home
After Ruby settled down and Madge moved back to her hometown
After Mable says you're fool leave me alone
You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home
[ piano ]
You'll find out what lonely mean but you won't find the broken chain
That once bound our love together proud and strong
You start talking to the walls and count every tear that falls
After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home
After Ruby settled down...
