"Diggin' Up Bones"

"Diggin' Up Bones"


[Verse 1:]
Last night I dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn
Yeah I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones

[Verse 2:]
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Yeah tonight I'm sitting alone diggin' up bones

[Chorus:]
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones

[Verse 3:]
And I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear
And I recall how good you looked each time you had it on
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones

[Chorus]

I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones

[Chorus 'til end]

"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind"
(feat. Dolly Parton)

"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind"
(feat. Dolly Parton)



1,2..

[Instrumental with ad libs]

[Dolly]
Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow, but they don't smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me.

[Chorus:]
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind?

[Instrumental with ad libs]

[Randy]
Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I've long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close.

[Chorus:]
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever recall these old memories at all
Or do I ever cross your mind?

Well, memories clear, my eyes won't stay clear
When I think of those happier times
Do you ever recall on old memories at all
Or do I ever cross your mind?

[Instrumental]

Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind?..

"Doctor Jesus"

"Doctor Jesus"


You know, I've got so many problems
And lately, I've been feelin' kinda down
I hear you're the one I should talk to
I hear you're the best healer around.

[Chorus:]
Doctor Jesus, Will you help me?
Make me better, make me whole
Doctor Jesus, Lord, I need you
To mend my heart, and save my soul.

There's so many out there who need you
Do you think you could work me in?
You see I'm in the worst of condition
But mostly, I just need me a friend.

[Chorus:]
Doctor Jesus, Will you help me?
Make me better, make me whole
Doctor Jesus, Lord, I need you
To mend my heart, and save my soul.

Doctor Jesus, Lord, Lord, I need you so
To mend my heart, and save my soul...

"Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle"

"Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle"


Daddy should'a been a preacher man
'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak
He didn't always follow his own advice
But we got a sermon every week
He'd say trouble always starts as fun
And broken hearts will always mend
Tough times don't last, tough people do
And nothing breaks if it can bend.

[Chorus:]
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride.

Daddy never ran from anything
Always took his share of the blame
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up
But hard enough to stop a train
He said only fight when you have to
'Cause there's always a faster gun
And you'll know a hero from a coward
When you see which way they run.

[Chorus:]
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride.

Daddy left me his old saddle
The day that he passed on
And these words are etched into my mind
Just like they were in stone.

[Chorus:]
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride.

Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride...

"Don't Take Your Love Away From Me"

"Don't Take Your Love Away From Me"


Well, I pray I'm wrong
But I feel you stealin away from me
Your heart's a-beatin to a chain-gang song
Well, you just can't help it if you got be a thief

And steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the moutain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me

Now tell the truth
I know you did, but do you love me now
One thing I've learned from a woman like you
It ain't safe if it ain't nailed down

Steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the mountain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me

So steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the mountain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me

"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"

"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"


Ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window babe and I'll be gone
You're the reason I keep travelin' on
But don't think twice it's all right

Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
That light I've never known
Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Wishin' there was something you could do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice it's all right

Ain't no use in callin' out my name now
Like you never done before
Ain't no use in callin' out my name gal
I can't hear you anymore
Walkin' and a thinkin'
Goin' down this road
I once loved a woman
A child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice it's all right

So long honey baby
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is just too good a word babe
I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done much better babe
But I don't mind
You just wasted some of my precious time
But don't think twice it's all right

Don't think twice it's all right

"Don't Worry 'Bout Me"
(originally by Marty Robbins)

"Don't Worry 'Bout Me"
(originally by Marty Robbins)



Don't worry about me it's all over now
Though I may be blue I'll manage some how
Love can't be explained can't be controlled
One day it's warm next day it's cold

Don't pity me cause I'm feeling blue
Don't be ashamed it might have been you
Oh oh oh oh love kiss me one time then go love
I'll understand don't worry about me

Sweet sweet sweet love I want you to be
As happy as I when you loved me
I'll never forget you your sweet memory
It's all over now don't worry about me

When one heart tells one heart one heart good-bye
One heart is free one heart will cry
Oh oh oh oh sweet sweet baby sweet baby sweet
It's alright don't worry about me

"Down At The Old Corral"

"Down At The Old Corral"


It seems no matter how far I may roam
Like some ol' tumbleweed my thoughts go tumblin' back home
In memory I recall those simpler times
And a way of life I never left behind.
Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that I
Could be there now
Down at the old corral.
I remember everything I ever heard
Like how to judge a man's true worth by how he keep's his word
That saddle wisdom never seemed to end
Everything I need to know I learned back then.
Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that
I could be there now
Down at the old corral.

[Instrumental]

Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that
I could be there now
Down at the old corral.
Down at the old corral.
Down at the old corral...

"Down By The Riverside"

"Down By The Riverside"


I feel so bad in the morning
I feel so bad in the middle of the day
I feel so bad in the evening
That's why Im' going to the river to wash my sins away

I'm going to lay down my heavy load down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm going to lay down my heavy load down by the riverside
I ain't going to study war no more

I ain't going to study, no, no, no
Study, study war no more
Ain't going to study, no, no, no, study, no, no, no, no
Study, study war no more

I'm going to meet my loving mother down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm going to meet my loving mother down by the riverside
I ain't going to study war no more

I ain't going to study, study war no more

"Drive Another Nail"

"Drive Another Nail"


Sam was a carpenter fifty years
He pounded out blood, sweat and tears
One day he hung his hammer up
He wanted to do the things he loved
What once was Sunday fishin'
Now was seven days a week
He told his wife to find me,
I'll be down at the creek.

'Cause I don't want to drive another nail
I've worked hard to do my job and I did it well
I've got the scars on these two hands
To show I haven't failed
But I dont' want to drive another nail.

Now she was a woman full of faith
And old Sam was full of pride
And she knew that he had one more job
To do before he died.

Easter Sunday rolled around
In a country church for the lost and found
Oh, Sam was there against his will
As the preacher spoke on Calvary's hill
Of how they took the master
And they nailed him to a tree
You could hear old Sam a cryin'
As he fell down on his knees.

I don't wanna drive another nail
I want to live my life for you
I want to do it well
You've got the scars on your two hands
That show where I have failed
Lord, I don't want to drive another nail.

I don't wanna drive another nail
I want to live my life for you
I want to do it well
You've got the scars on your two hands
That show where I have failed
Lord, I don't want to drive another nail...
