"Introduction And Theme/ Night Life"

"Introduction And Theme/ Night Life"


[Introduction And Theme:]
When the evening sun goes down
Hi neighbors it is sundown at our house
As we make this new Columbia album for you
We wanna thank you for being so nice on our last album
It was wonderful the way you accepted it
And tonight we've chosen some of the songs
That we sing and play on our dancers across the country.
Songs that reflect the emotion of the people that live in the night life.
Songs of happiness sadness heartbreak songs of the night life
And we hope that you enjoy yourself tonight
As you'll listen to our latest songs.
This first song was written esepecially for me
By a boy from down in Texas, Willie and it accepted
So good on our dancers
We hope you like it, it's little different of what we normally do
Though we hope will be pleasant to you
So me and The Cherokee Cowboys
Are knockin' on your record player once more
And we hope that you can just kinda sit back kick off your shoes
And relax just a little bit and listen to our latest album
And if you'll like it tell us about it won't you
And we'll try to do more things for you the way we're doin' this one...

[Night Life:]
When the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging round
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
But it's my life.

Many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
But it's my life.

Well, listen to the blues they're playin'
Yeah, listen to what the blues are sayin'
Mine is just another scene from the world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
But it's my life.

Yeah, when the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging round
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
But it's my life...

"Invitation To The Blues"

"Invitation To The Blues"



I couldn't sleep last night just walked the floor don't know how I stand this anymore
Lonely are the times since I lost you received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you caused me such pain
I just hope I'll never go through this much again
Thanks for sending something I can't use received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine thanks to you the sun will never shine
Walk the floor so much wore out my shoes received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why...I don't know why you caused me such pain
I just hope I'll never go through this much again
Lonely me I don't know what to do received your invitation to the blues

"It Always Will Be"

"It Always Will Be"



Sometimes I think that love is somewhere
Living on an island all alone
I can see it in the darkness
I can feel it in the distance
And then it's gone
And then I know that it is time
For me to go and find my favorite girl
Cause when I look into her eyes I see
All the love there is in all the world

And it always will be
And always will be
And it always will be
It always will be

There are some things I think about
And every time I do it breaks my heart
And there's nothing I can do
About this loneliness I feel when we're apart
And I stop and curse the darkness and the distance
And then your face I see
And when I look into your eyes I see
All the love that's left inside of me

And it always will be
It always will be
And it always will be
It always will be

And it always will be
It always will be
And it always will be
It always will be

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"



It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, o'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its babel sounds the blessed angels sing

Oh yeah, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
Oh, rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing

For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their king
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing

"It Don't Hurt Me Half As Bad"

"It Don't Hurt Me Half As Bad"



It hurts me just to know I had to leave her
But when your eyes met mine I knew I would
Sometimes at night my conscience makes me suffer
But it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good

Cause she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
So don't worry if it bothers me 'cause we both know it should
And it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good

Yes she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
She could have done the things you do but somehow never would
So it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good

No it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good

"It Should Be Easier Now"

"It Should Be Easier Now"



Now that I've made up my mind you're gone it should be easier now
Perhaps now my heart will stop hanging on it should be easier now
The lesson I've learned from you gold can't buy
A heart can be broken and still survive
Thanks to you now a much wiser man am I and it should be easier now

The worst now is over I've stood the test it should be easier now
They say everything happens for the best it should be easier now
The wounds in my heart you've carved deep and wide
Hollowed and washed with the tears I've cried
But now there'll be more room for love inside so it should be easier now

"It's Only Love"

"It's Only Love"



If I don't act myself when I'm around you and I bring up the things you used to say
Well I just haven't learned to forget like you do but it's only love it'll go away
And if I call at night while you're still sleeping just to talk to you about yesterday
Then before I hang up I start to weeping well it's only love it'll go away
It's only love it'll go away at least that's what you say
Yours did and mine will I hope some day cause it's only love it'll go away
It's only love it'll go away

"Jealous Heart"

"Jealous Heart"



Oh, jealous heart
Oh, jealous heart, stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him away forever
Jealous heart, now I'm the lonely one

I was part of everything he planned for
And I know he loved me at the start
And now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, oh, jealous heart

Now that he's gone
He's gone and found another
I know he loved me at the start
Through the years his memory will haunt me
And all because of you, oh, jealous heart

All because of you, oh, jealous heart
(Oh, jealous heart)

"Jesse Younger"

"Jesse Younger"



Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad
Doin' all he could do to please his mommy and his dad
But he never planned to be the man they said that he'd become

Somehow or another now his little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Everyday the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame
The way we spat upon his family and scandalized their name
And his parents never really ever said he'd been his own

Somehow or another now his little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Oh, Jesse Younger, you're a devil not a man
Can you dare to teach your parents so unkind
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned
And you started goin' your own way and speaking your own mind

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong
Now that Jesse's name is turned to ashes on their tongues
But he chose to start and try to cover future of his own

And he got his rathers because now his younger brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

"Jingle Bells"

"Jingle Bells"



Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Now the ground is white go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song
Just bet a bob tailed bay two forty as his speed
And hitch him to an open sleigh and crack you'll take the lead

(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
