"Better Class Of Losers"

"Better Class Of Losers"



I said I'm through with honky tonks they only bring me down
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town
I've watched the rich folks come and go and one thing's very clear
There's just as many lonely people here

I'm just hanging round a better class of losers
It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne
I've only found a better class of losers
Uptown downtown misery's all the same

It's all been downhill for me since baby walked away
I'm down here at the bottom and I guess that's where I'll stay
I'm a looking for an answer but all that I've seen here
Is the same old lonely phoney atmosphere

I'm just hanging round a better class of losers...
Uptown downtown misery's all the same

"Beyond The Last Mile"

"Beyond The Last Mile"



I'm watching the clock tick the hours away
they say that I must hang at the dawn of the day
But why should I fear death for it's life anew
for dying only takes me much nearer to you
You left me in anger to walk by the sea
And when they found your body they blamed it on me
But you know they were wrong dear so wait for awhile
For we shall be together beyond the last mile

The stars hide their face to make way for the sun
And soon death it shall claim me and make us as one
While others are walking the streets with a smile
Then I know I'll be walking beyond the last mile
The chaplain is making his last plea to God
Soon up the numbered steps to the scaffold I'll trod
My footsteps won't falter I'll walk with a smile
For I know you'll be waiting beyond the last mile

"Black And White Lies"

"Black And White Lies"



Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight
I stopped being lonely when you left
And I'm now, at the top, among the best

I have money, throw big parties
And have a lots of friends, I never lose, I just win
I'm sending back the picture
That you sent me of our two lovely children

Tell them both to forget me
And I don't wish to see them again

Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight
What else is new except that you are married again
I hope you'll be happy with him

I'm sending you my best wishes
Consider me your best friend
Black and white lies from left to right
Are in the letter I write tonight

And I'm hoping, she'll believe what I write tonight
When she'll read this letter of lies in black and white

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"



In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
As we kissed good-bye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.

Love is like a dying ember.
Where only memories remain.
Through the ages I'll remember-
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Now my hair has turned to silver.
All my life I've loved in vain.
I can see her star in heaven.
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again.
In a land that knows no parting-
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

"Blues Stay Away From Me"

"Blues Stay Away From Me"



Blues stay away from me
blues why don't you let me be
I Don't know why
you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me
true love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never can agree

Life is full of misery
dreams are like a memory
bringing back your love that used to be
Tears so many I can't see
years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free
Blues stay away from me
blues why don't you let me be
I Don't know why
you keep on haunting me

"Body And Soul"

"Body And Soul"



My heart is sad and lonely for you I sigh for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing and wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul

I can't believe it it's hard to conceive it that you turn away romance
Are you pretending it looks like the ending unless I could have one more chance
To prove dear my life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

My life a wreck you're making you know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

"Born To Lose"

"Born To Lose"



Born to lose I've lived my life in vain every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear how I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose my every hope is gone it's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew born to lose and now I'm losing you
There's no use to dream of happiness all I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"



When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes and pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing out behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

"Bright Lights And Blonde Haired Women"

"Bright Lights And Blonde Haired Women"



I'm gettin' tired of roamin' around I'm gettin' tired of paintin' the town
Bright lights and blonde haired women don't thrill me
I'm gettin' tired of being lived up like a Christmas tree
I guess I done everything there is to do you said it would be this way
Believe me baby I'm all through please let me come home to you
I'm gettin' tired of roamin' around I'm gettin' tired of paintin' the town
I'm tired of blonde haired women oh don't thrill me
I'm gettin' sick and tired being lived up like a Christmas tree
I guess I done everything there is to do you said it would be this way
Believe me baby I'm all through please let me please let me come home to you

"Bubbles In My Beer"

"Bubbles In My Beer"



Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
Scenes from the past rise before me
While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

A vision of someone who loved me
Brings a lone silent tear to my eye
I know that my life's been a failure
Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer

I'm seeing the road that I traveled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

I think of the heart that I've broken
And the golden chances that have passed me by
The dreams I've once made, now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
