Fist City

Fist City

You've been makin' your brags around town that you've been a lovin' with my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash he puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me and what I see is a pitty
You'd better close your face and stay out of my way
If you don't wanta go to Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City you'd better detour round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City
[ steel ]
Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City...
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City

Fly Away

Fly Away

Standing alone in a storm of life
Without any way to turn
Tears are falling down like rain
From the lessons that I have learned

And I wish that I could fly away
On the wings of a great golden bird
To a place where there are no unhappy days
And there are no unhappy words

Yes, I wish that I could fly away
To a land beyond this pain
And lay my dreams on a mountain top
And wash my mind in the rain

Burned by the fire of an untrue love
My heart is as cold as a stone
And I know for sure that the road of life
Is no place to travel alone

And I wish that I could fly away
To a land beyond this pain
And lay my dreams on a mountain top
And wash my mind in the rain

Yes, I wish that I could fly away
To a land beyond this pain
And lay my dreams on a mountain top
And wash my mind in the rain [?]

Fool No. 1

Fool No. 1

Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other girls have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
But I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all

If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again
I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'd leave me when your heart hears a new love call
So I guess that I'm the biggest fool of all
[ piano ]
Am I fool number one...

For Heaven's Sake

For Heaven's Sake

We thought the baby was the answer
To keep us happy in our world
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
And we named her Heaven, but a child's not all it takes
But I'll stay and I'll stay for heaven's sake.

You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
And you pick out my shirt and tie like nothing's ever wrong
But we're only fooling Heaven, we can't make a mistake
I won't leave you, I'll see it through for Heaven's sake.

Christmas trees and make believe for Heaven's sake
Ginger mint and let's pretent if that's what it takes
Evening prayers and pigtails,
Teddy bears and wishing wells for Heaven's sake.

Rollerskates and skinned up knee and dirty face
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
Baby dolls and your high heels
Lollipops before her meal for Heaven's sake...

For The Good Times

For The Good Times

Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and loving body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

I'll get along you'll find another and I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow...

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk that they found
For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me
[ guitar ]
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run and we'll have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square saying catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' don't you cry I'll be back again some day

Get Set For A Heartache

Get Set For A Heartache

It wasn't very long ago that he held me so close
But the little love he had has died for me who loved him most
He left me for another and didn't say goodbye
And if you're next to love him then you'll be next to cry
Get set for a heartache that's all I can say get set for a heartache on its way
[ fiddle - steel ]
He'll make you think he loves you too but you'll find it's not true
You'll learn that when you need him most he'll be with someone new
Your love will all be wasted that's how it was with me
And soon heartaches will tell you you're just his used to be
Get set for a heartache that's all I can say get set for a heartache on its way

Get Some Loving Done

Get Some Loving Done

I gotta get up and get some loving done
My life's so poor ain't been much fun
I found myself a woman and I know she's the one
And I gotta get up and get me some loving done.

I've been doin' without a good thing much too long
But you taught me to sing a brand new song
When I look at me I see a brand new different me
Let's gonna get up and get some loving done.

Yeah I've gotta get up and get some loving done
My life's so poor ain't been much fun
I found myself a woman and I know she's the one
And I gotta get up and get me some loving done.

Well, you know how to treat me like a woman
And satisfy my needs 'cause you're all man
When I look at you I see it all belongs to me
So I'm gonna get up and get some loving done.

Get up and get some loving done
Our life's a gonna be a life more fun
Yeah, I found myself a good man
And he sure do turn me on.

We're gonna get up and get some loving done.
Get up and get some loving done...

Get What'cha Got And Go

Get What'cha Got And Go

A pretty boy Charlie's the name that you've been a given
And you act like the whole wide world all you were livin'
You tell me you can get any girl you know
You say it got what it takes to me you're just a heartache
So get what'cha got and go
You think you're the greatest thing in this whole town
Oh number one but everyone no one can put you down
Every night you go downtown where the go-gos go
Oh well you think you're so hot and you tell me you're not
So get what'cha got and go
[ steel ]
You better watch that sneaky smile right off of your face
For I just might to knock it off and put it in your place
Just like the wild wild wind all you do is blow
Just say I'm holdin' you back but baby I'll have to pack
So get what'cha got and go
You think you're the greatest thing...

Gethsemane

Gethsemane

Toll no bell for me Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for you to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
Not my own will but Yours be done.
You wake up where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The Lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you.
Another Beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinite dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise.
Forgive me for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose.
You wake up where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The Lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you.
I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the love the pain the hope O beautiful one
Have made you mine 'till all my years are done.
Without you
The poetry within me is dead...
