"San Angelo"

"San Angelo"



North of the border of Old Mexico
I rode one day to the cowtown of San Angelo
A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was blowing
Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss

Cheeks that would blush in red roses to shame
Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain
Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds
She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers name

I met her down in Lorado
Everyone there in this border town called her the 'Rose'
Mexican cowboys drank to Socorro
Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose

An outlaw above all the rest
Now my heart beats so madly
Soon she will be at my side

She sent a message a long time ago
Socorro had promised to meet me at San Angelo
I was aware of the chance I was taking
I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl

I must be with her, I can't stay away
Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days
If it means death then I'll have to chance it
Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms

At ten o' clock in the morning
I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street
Where was Socorro, had she forgotten
This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet

But something is wrong with our plans
And I fear death awaits me
Here on this hot dusty street

Up on a housetop but still I can see
There hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me
I might escape from the man with a rifle
But there are others just like him that I cannot see

Back of each window the click of a gun
Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run
Where is Socorro, will my eyes see her
Then in a moment she runs from a door down the street

"Up on your horse", she is crying
"Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're waiting for you"
But if I ride out, she must ride with me
Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone

For a bullet is well on its way
And it finds my Socorro
She dies as she falls in my arms

Tears dim my vision but plainly I see
The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me
I walk to meet him, my one thought is 'Beat him'
He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die

I beat his draw and I shot him
Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly
My gun is empty or more I would shoot him
Now there are others just like him that want me to die

Their bullets are coming my way
How they hurt when they hit me
The pain makes me fall to the ground

Gone is my strength, just the will left to fight
I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life
If I must die, let me find Socorro
Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left

Blindly I search and it isn't in vain
I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain
Life is no more but we're together
Even in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye

"Seconds To Remember"

"Seconds To Remember"



Memories come floodin' back through a veil of tears
But I've been almost happy for just the past two years
The word's out that she's come back and the thought makes me tremble
It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember

Seconds to remember all the things that used to be
Seconds to remember how much she meant to me
Love has burst a flame from a dying ember
It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember

As I recall the day she left with somebody new
I vowed that I'd forget her any way I could
The minute I heard she was back I felt the same old hunger
It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember

Seconds to remember all the things that used to be
Seconds to remember how much she meant to me
Love has burst a flame from a dying ember
It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember

"September In The Rain"

"September In The Rain"



The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember that September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to sing a sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember that September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to sing a sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain

"Shackles And Chains"

"Shackles And Chains"



On a long lonesome journey I'm going
Throw your arms 'round my neck and don't cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
To a prison to stay til I die

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains

Put your arms through these bars once my darling
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
In heartache you're my consolation
And in sorrow my haven of rest

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
The plans that we made were in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains

"She Means Nothing To Me Now"

"She Means Nothing To Me Now"



Go ahead and call her if you want to
She and I aren't tied by any vow
Just do as you please if it puts your mind at ease
She means nothin' to me now

I confess that she used to be my baby
But we just couldn't get along, somehow
So go on and make your call, it won't bother me at all
'Cause she means nothin' to me now

The only time I ever think about her
Is when I'm alone or with somebody else
I make believe that I can live without her
But I'm not foolin' no one but myself

I know the masquerade won't last forever
But I'll act as long as my heart will allow
I'm just lyin' when I say, for in every scene I play
She means nothin' to me now

"She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)"

"She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)"



She was only seventeen and he was one year more
She loved him with all her heart and he the girl adored
But all their friends believed they're too young to know the score
'Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more.

Are they old enough to know if love will last for life
Isn't he too young to be a husband her a wife
Well in the past I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone was seventeen another one year more.

Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test.

'Cause like I said I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone was seventeen another one year more.

Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test.

"She Was Young And She Was Pretty"

"She Was Young And She Was Pretty"



She was young and she was pretty she was warm and tender too
She was all a man could ask for but her heart could not be true
No her heart could not be true
Eyes that sparkle just like diamonds lips as fresh as morning dew
She was young and she was fickle and her heart could not be true
No her heart could not be true
Cheeks just like a rose when blooming and a form so fine and rare
Curls that hung below her shoulders gold the color of her hair
Now she's gone no one can claim her in my cell I'm sad and blue
One bright night I shot and killed her she was young and so untrue
She was young and so untrue
One bright night I watched another kissed her like I used to do
So I drew my gun and killed her she was young and so untrue
In the morning just at daybreak when the roses kissed the dew
I shall hang because I killed her she was young and so untrue
She was young and so untrue

"She's Just A Drifter"

"She's Just A Drifter"



She's just a drifter and she drifts from town to town
She's never been branded and she's never been tied down
She drifts for a while then she might drift back to town
And somethin' keeps callin' she has to move on to new ground

Wild as a prairie wind warm as the hot desert sun
Places she's never seen keeps her from settelin' down
Just like a free runnin' river she rambles and rolls
There highway's her Heaven, she makes the whole world her own

'Cause she's a drifter don't mean that I don't care about her
Sometimes I live with her, sometimes I'm livin' without her
Just when I think that I'm finally beginnin' to tame her
That's when she makes me feel bein' tied down kinda shames her

Down to the ocean, she might stay a while on the beach
Then caught by the high tide she drifts further on out of reach
There's no way a-tellin' how soon you may see her again
Nature's her Mother and that makes her kin to the wind

'Cause she's a drifter don't mean that I don't care about her
Sometimes I live with her, sometimes I'm livin' without her
Just when I think that I'm finally beginnin' to tame her
That's when she makes me feel bein' tied down kinda shames her

"Shotgun Rider"

"Shotgun Rider"



Well I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stage
I got me a sawed-off hogleg, twenty is the number guage
I'd shoot anybody that would try to stop this ride
A lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws died

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

I was sheriff down in Austin a long, long time ago
A hangin' judge was a-my best friend and he never let a poor soul go
I left that town for a better job a-ridin' on this stage
Shootin' outlaws with this gun is how I won my fame

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

You can ask anybody north of the Rio Grande
If they don't want no trouble, don't truck with the shotgun man
'Cause I got an itchy finger and I got an eagle's eye
I can spot a desperado with trail dust in my eyes

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

Well I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stage
I got me a sawed-off hogleg, twenty is the number guage
I'd shoot anybody that would try to stop this ride
A lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws died

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

"Sing Me Something Sentimental"

"Sing Me Something Sentimental"



Sing me somethin' sentimental
Make it anything that's blue
Sing it sweet and sing it tender
Just the way she used to do
If I cry pay no attention
Every tear that falls is real
Sing me somethin' sentimental
'Cause that's the way I feel

Sing it for somebody special
That's just what she was to me
Where we used to sit together
Now I sit alone, you see
Seems like yeaserday she loved me
But I guess it wasn't real
Sing me somethin' sentimental
'Cause that's the way I feel

Sing me somethin' sentimental
Just as if your heart will break
Since she's gone my heart has taken
More than any heart should take
If you see her say, I love her
She's the one I'll always miss
Sing me somethin' sweet and tender
Make every word a kiss

She was lovelier than ever
On the day she was his bride
As I stood and watched him kiss her
I fell all apart inside
Now I realize I've lost her
Oh, it all seems so unreal
Sing me somethin' sentimental
'Cause that's the way I feel
