"Smokey Lady"

"Smokey Lady"




Smokey Lady
Spend your time
Makin' full grown men a full grown baby
Move on, move on,
Move on, move on, move on
But I'm just settlin'
'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately
Smokey Lady, what you do to me

Got me goin'
Night time women
Half not carin', half not knowin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have a good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see

Smokey Lady run before me,
Run behind me
Where you're goin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see

Smokey Lady
Smokey Lady

"Softly As I Leave You"

"Softly As I Leave You"



Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly,
Long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years,
I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there

"Soggy Pretzels"

"Soggy Pretzels"


You were cryin' in your pretzels when I met you
You were washing
All the salt away from the dough
You were cryin' in your pretzels
And I'll never forget you
But, baby, just why, I'll ever know

Cryin' in your pretzels
Cryin' in your beer
Cryin' on the table
That's where I found you dear

[Spoken:]
Yes, my sweet I came into that bar
It was in Mississippi
There you were, sitting in the corner
Crying in your pretzels
You'd already sogged up
A whole plate of potato chips
But the management didn't mind
Because you were a regular customer

And I saw you sittin' there and I said
"That person needs a friend,
And I'm gonna be a friend
Ain't nobody deserves to cry in his pretzels
All night and wash away the salt."
So I kinda sided up to you and I said,
"What can I do for you? How can I help you?
What can I do to ease the pain?"

Well, you were cryin' in your pretzels
Oh, you were cryin' in your beer
Yes, that was the night I meet you
And I'll always hold you near

"Solitary Man"

"Solitary Man"



Melinda was mine
'Til the time that I found her
Holding Jim, loving him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue, but that died too

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man, solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein' where love's a small word
Part-time thing, paper ring
I know it's been done
Havin' one girl who'll love me
Right or wrong, weak or strong

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man, solitary man
(instrumental)
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

"Someday Baby"

"Someday Baby"




Someday, baby
It's gonna be alright
Someday, maybe, but baby, not tonight
There's a gleam in your eyes
That's for some other guy not for me now
He'll be kissing the lips
That I just get to kiss in my dreams now

But someday baby, yeah (uh huh)
Someday love
Someday, baby
It's gonna be just me
One day baby, well, you just wait and see
Girl, you'll open your eyes
And then you'll realize what I'm sayin'
I've got lovin' to give for as long as I live
He's just playin'

But someday baby, yeah (mmmmm)
Someday love
Someday baby, someday love
Someday baby
Someday love

"Someone Who Believes In You"

"Someone Who Believes In You"



Believe me,
I'm someone who believes in you
Say you really had a million dollars
And a car for ev'ry day of the week
So what? You know what?
It wouldn't mean not a single thing
Without that someone who believes it too
Yeah, you gotta have someone
Who believes in you

Say you really had a Hollywood contract
And your face upon a big billboard
Big car, big star
You'd move a lot
But you wouldn't get far without
That someone who believes it too
You better have someone
Who believes in you

You are the truest part of me
That quiet place
Where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest need
You call my name and I hear your song

Believe me,
There's someone who believes in you

So you really got the hots for stardom
All you need is some big guitar
To take you and make you
Into an overnight star
And then you'll find
That stars get lonesome too
And you better have someone
Who believes in you

You are the truest part of me
That tender place
Where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest need
You speak my name
And I hear your song

So you really want a job in the circus
Paint your face and make the people smile
Hey clown, come on down
You've been too long walkin' that high wire
When you're falling, you'll be calling too
Calling out to someone
Who believes in you
Someone
Who's there when nobody needs you
Callin' out to someone
Who believes in you

"Something Blue"

"Something Blue"



I came with a little bit of sorrow
Was maybe a bit too sad
But one day rolled into tomorrow
And you gave me the best you had
That's how we started together
And how together we're gonna stay

You taught me a little 'bout good times
I fought through a little bit of rain
You brought me a part of your sunshine
You took in the heart of my pain
It wasn't supposed to happen
But then you happened to come my way

Every night, every day
Every word that you say made it so
Every thought that I had
Said I ought to be glad. Now I know

You showed what a little bit of love can do
You opened my eyes and a light came through
Took me to a place that I never knew
Goodbye to my little bit of something blue

You came and you found me wanting
And I'm saying that I'm in your debt
Some days were a little bit daunting
Some days I'd rather forget
You changed my life for the better
And I know I'd better be good to you

Every night, every day
Every word that you say made it so
Every thought that I had
Said I ought to be glad. Now I know

You showed what a little bit of love can do
You opened my eyes and a light came through
Took me to a place that I never knew
So long to my little bit of something blue

It wasn't supposed to happen
But then you happened to come my way

Every night, every day
Every word that you say made it so
Every thought that I had
Said I ought to be glad. Now I know

You showed what a little bit of love can do
You opened my eyes and a light came through
Took me to a place that I never knew
Goodbye to my little bit of something blue

Farewell to my little bit of something blue.

"Song Sung Blue"

"Song Sung Blue"




Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take the blues
And make a song
You sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take the blues
And make a song
You sing 'em out again

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Song sung blue
Song sung blue
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice

"Songs Of Life"

"Songs Of Life"




Songs of life, they ring
From quiet steeples to distant valleys
Along the hillsides of lovers' hearts
Of lovers' hearts

Come sing you songs of life
And they will keep you
From ever wanting, from ever needing
For ever more, for ever more

Oh, and when the moment's true
It sings so softly to me and you
You know it's true

So I sing my songs of life
That I will hold you inside forever
And you will know me
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Oh, and when the moments true
They sing so softly to me and you
You know they do, you know they do

And I'll sing my songs life
That I may hold you, inside forever
And you will know me,
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine
