"Hesitation Blues (Oh, Baby, Must I Hesitate ?)"

"Hesitation Blues (Oh, Baby, Must I Hesitate ?)"

Well, if the river was whiskey and I was a duck
Fly to the bottom and I'd never come up
Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?
Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

Well, I ain't no doctor but a doctor's son
I'll do the doctoring ‘til the doctor comes
Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?
Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

Take all away.

I was born in England, raised in France
Got a suit of clothes but I didn't get the pants
Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?
Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

I was born in Texas, raised in Tennessee
If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree
Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?
Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

"Hey, Good Lookin'"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"Hey, Good Lookin'"
(originally by Hank Williams)

Hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

Hey, hey, sweet baby
Don't you think maybe?
We could find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.

I'm free and ready
So we can go steady
How's about keepin' steady company?

I'm gonna throw my date-book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age
'Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page.

Hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

Hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up
How's about cookin' somethin' up
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

"High Horse"

"High Horse"

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
And get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Moonlit shadow, she starts a trippin' firelight
Jumpin' the trees lyin' across the right of way
Silvery mornin' it glistens down the valley
But she don't stop 'til we ride the night away

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Blonde braids tangle at the misty break of mornin'
Catchin' light through a dusty window pane
Lost in lust, in denial of the warnin'
She digs her heels in this stallion's flank again

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You're gonna ride to the break of day

To the break of day
To the break of day
To the break of day

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You're gonna ride to the break of day

"High School Yearbook"

"High School Yearbook"

Ever think about your high school friends
All the kids that you knew back when
If you'd pass'em on the street today
You just might see they've gone a different way

Lovely Linda was a friend of mine
Dressed to kill she always looked sure fine
We all thought she was a star back then
Now she's entertaining businessmen
But she's doin' what she wants to

Macho Johnny from around the block
Always had that funky walk
Now he's wearing little sister clothes
Wrapped up in a world of pantyhose

But he's doin' what he wants to
Gonna have a good time (gonna have a good time)
Wooh oh

Little Four-Eyes was the teacher's pet
Stacks of books and his chemistry set
Now he's a rancher down in ol' Brazil
Mixes powders making little pills

But he's doin' what he wants to
Cause it makes him feel fine
Paid for the ticket
Might as well take a ride
The rest of them were born to tears
Or hiding fears and never broke away

Wimpy Andy was a punching bag
Screamed and hollered he was such a drag
Now you hear him on the radio
Sings songs and playing rock & roll
Rock & roll, rock & roll, rock & roll

Doin' what he wants to
Gonna have a good time
Paid for the ticket
Might was well take a ride, take a ride

Well he's doin' what he wants to (doin' what he wants to)
Gonna have a good time
Doin' what he wants to (doin' want he wants to)
Gonna have a good time (have a good, have a good time)
Doin' what he wants to
He's gonna have a good time
Hey

"Hillbilly Hollywood"

"Hillbilly Hollywood"

I can still remember my first guitar
Bright and shiny like a brand new car
Even took it with me when I went to school
And I practiced every day till I got real good

I learned every lick on the radio
From wabash cannon to go Johnny go
I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues
Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on on a saturday night
Standing where my heroes stood
Hillbilly Hollywood

I played some bars where you never wanna go
From Oklahoma City down to Tupelo

My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell
When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on on a saturday night
Standing where my heroes stood
Hillbilly Hollywood

And I pray before too long
They will hear my song

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on a saturday night
Standing where my heroes stood
I dreamed grand Old Opry on a saturday night standing ...
Hillbilly Hollywood Hillbilly Hollywood Hillbilly hollywood

"Hold Whatcha Got"

"Hold Whatcha Got"

Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got, and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way.

Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
And hold whatcha got, I'm a coming home to stay.

Well, in my mind I can see
That's a pretty good sign that I need you
That's why I can't wait to get back home.

So squeeze yourself real good and tight
I'll be there before daylight
If you hold whatcha got, I'm a coming home to stay.

Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got, and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way.

Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
And hold whatcha got, I'm a coming home to stay.

Well, when I get back, honey, I ain't leaving
I been too long, a little too much grieving
When I get back this time I'm going to stay.

Well, we won't fuss and we won't fight
This time thing is gonna be all right
If you hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay.

Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got, and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way.

Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
And hold whatcha got, I'm a coming home to stay.

Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
And hold whatcha got, I'm a coming home to stay.

"Holding"

"Holding"

I'm standing here and hoping for you
Holding my door open for you now
Ask just what you will of me
I'll bend just like a willow tree
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open to the wind

Well seven times she came to me
And each time seemed the same to me
She knows just what to ask me now
And I can't help but wonder how
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open before the wind

I wrote my name upon the sands
With questioningly weary hands
The tide arose and answered me
And washed my name into the sea
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open before the wind

"Home Again In My Heart"

"Home Again In My Heart"

One in a million in a lonely town,
Two hundred people trying to keep me down,
I've taken all I can, I ain't lookin' back.
Small town boy in a back yard lot,
Can't make a living with the luck I've got
I'm gonna leave it all, I ain't looking back.

That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young.
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground,
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down.
Still I go home again in my heart.

My father worked hard on the railroad track;
37 years cut across his back,
He gave it all he had for what he believed.
Like every other kid that came before,
I grew up believing there was something more
And I still believe, I still believe.

That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young.
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground,
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down.
Still I go home again in my heart.

But I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night
And the rain on the roof when I close my eyes;
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch in the dark.
There are days when I know that I've traveled so far
That I'll never find the road leading back to the start,
Still I go home again in my heart
Still I go home again in my heart
In my heart, in my heart
