"Highway Kind"

"Highway Kind"


My days they are the highway kind
They only come to leave
But the leaving I don't mind
It's the coming that I crave
Pour the sun upon the ground
Stand to throw a shadow
Watch it grow into the night
And fill the spinning sky

Time among the pine trees
It felt like breath of air
Usually I just walk these streets
And tell myself to care
Sometimes I believe me
Sometimes I don't hear
Sometimes the shape I'm in
Won't let me go

I don't know too much for truth
But my heart knows how to pound
My legs know how to love someone
My voice knows how to sound
It's a shame that it's not enough
It's a shame that it is a shame
Follow the circle down
Where would you be

You're the only one I want
I've never heard your name
Let's hope we meet someday
If we don't it's all the same
And I'll meet the ones between us
And be thinking about you
And all the places I have seen
And why you were not there

"I Can't Love You Anymore"

"I Can't Love You Anymore"


This Georgia road is red
The Georgia sky is blue
And it looks just like the sky
That carried me to you
The good Lord up in heaven knows
What I've been going through
And he's whispering to me
That I'll get over you

My angel in distress
You look OK to me
I'll send you my address
I could easily stay with you
On your side of heaven's door
'Cause I don't love you any less
But I can't love you anymore

It's Tuscaloosa, Birmingham
Or Baton Rouge
Hell I don't know just where I'm at
To tell the truth
But the good Lord up in heaven knows
What you've been going through
And he's whispering to me
That he'll take care of you

My angel in distress
You look OK to me
I'll send you my address
When I know what it will be
I could easily stay with you
On your side of heaven's door
'Cause I don't love you any less
But I can't love you anymore

My angel in distress
You look OK to me
I'll send you my address
When I know what it will be
I could easily stay with you
On your side of heaven's door
'Cause I don't love you any less
But I can't love you anymore

I don't love you any less
But I can't love you anymore

"I Know You Know"

"I Know You Know"


Tell me something that you mean
Not just what comes to mind
'Cause I can see you're somewhere in between
This morning and the late last night

And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you

Even the stars will pass away
And the sun will burn to coal
And even men will hear the angels say
He was a fool to let it show

But I know you know
And there ain't nothing I can do
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you

And I know it ain't never come to no good
And I know it seems like it ain't no use
And I know I should've left while I still could
But I can't find a reason to

So tell me something that you mean
Not just what comes to mind
Because you know I would believe
Anything you'd say

And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you

"I Love Everybody"

"I Love Everybody"


I love everybody
Especially you
I love everybody
Especially you
So if you feel lonesome
Remember it's true
I love everybody
Especially you

It's not the long lashes
Or lips on your face
And it's not your bosoms
That time can't erase
And it's not those long slender
Legs on your feet
Your mind is the feature
That makes me remember

I love everybody
Especially you
I love everybody
Especially you
So if you feel lonesome
Remember it's true
I love everybody
Especially you

"I Loved You Yesterday"

"I Loved You Yesterday"


Can you tell me
What you see in him
He looks just like
All of the others did
And can you tell me
If it will ever end
Can you tell me
Or do you know

I could tell you
What I saw in you
And I could tell you
Why I still see it too
And I could tell you
If you would just let me through
I could tell you
Because I know

I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
And none of the things you do
Could tear us apart
I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
When I gave myself to you
You took only my heart

Can you tell me
What he says to you
Does he tell you
The same things I used to
But can he tell you
The way you want him to
Can you tell me
Or do you know

I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
And none of the things you do
Could tear us apart
I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
When I gave myself to you
You took only my heart

Yo te quise ayer
Y yo te quiero the same
And none of things you do
Could tear us apart
Yo te quise ayer
Y yo te quiero the same
When I gave myself to you
You took only my heart

"I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You"

"I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You"


Its not the words
You know I'll always love you
It's not the words
I wish that I could stay
It's more the way your lips looked
As you spoke them
And how the moonlight fell upon your face
I married her just because she looks like you

And for every time you said no
She says honey I'll be glad to
And for every time you left me
She says darling I'll be there
It's not the words
You'll get over me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

And if I had not searched for you
I never would have found her
And if I had not loved you
I would never have known love
It's not the words
Please try to forget me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

And for every time you knocked me down
She reaches out to help me
And for every time you cursed me
She says darling I love you
It's not the words
Time heals everything
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

"I Think You Know What I Mean"

"I Think You Know What I Mean"


I walked in his office
He told me pull up a chair
And he looked in my eyes
With a cold steely stare
And he spoke with a wisdom
That I'd never heard
And as I was hanging
On every last word

He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean

He said the hallway is lonesome
And the hallway is long
And one end is shiny
And one end is gone
And the middle burns brightly
With the color of night
And the doors are all open
But no one's inside

He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean

Hell he hollered
And he hopped up
And he kicked back his chair
And he said I'd be stupid
If I didn't care
To understand better
Would leave him no doubt
In a world full of something
That I'd be without

He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean
He said son
I think you know what I mean

But it's springtime in Texas
And my memory grows faint
As the bluebonnets dance
With the indian paints
The highway is lonesome
But the highway is straight
And some things are heavy
But they ain't worth the weight

I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I really mean
I think you know what I mean

I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I really mean
I think you know what I mean

"I Will Rise Up / Ain't No More Cane"

"I Will Rise Up / Ain't No More Cane"


In the darkest hour, in the dead night,
As the storm clouds gather, and the lightning strikes,
And the thunder rolls, and the cold rain blows,
The future it holds, what God only knows.

And I will rise up, and I will rise up,
Though I be a dead man, I said yes and amen.
And I will stand tall, and I will stand tall,
Until I meet my end, until I meet my end.

"I'll Come Knockin'"

"I'll Come Knockin'"


When you want me
I'll come knockin'
At your door
At your door
One of these days now
You'll be rockin'
You'll be rockin'
In my arms once more

Buddy I'm late again
I'm late again
I'm late again
Show me a wonder
That you can't be sure of
Now it's wait again
It's wait again
It's wait again
Show me a picture
Of the one you love

When you want me
I'll come knockin'
At your door
At your door
One of these days now
You'll be rockin'
You'll be rockin'
In my arms once more

But it was Christmas time
It was Easter time
It was Summer time
Sail away, sail away
To your daddy's garden
Now it's Winter time
It's Winter time
It's Winter time
And it's much too late
To ask your pardon

When you want me
I'll come knockin'
At your door
At your door
One of these days now
You'll be rockin'
You'll be rockin'
In my arms once more
