"Before I Met You"

"Before I Met You"



Well I thought I had seen good looking men in my time
That was before I met you
And I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you

Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed
And I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

Well I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
And I said that nobody could ever hold me
But that was before I met you

Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed
And I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

I thought I'd been kissed
And I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
Darling that was before I met you

"Bobby"

"Bobby"



Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read
As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head
A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
He said "I hope they kill you, I hope you go to hell"
They put Bobby in a jail with forty other men
They all knew what he had done, they were glad to take him in
They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife
How they loved each other, and how he took her life
Day after day, he sat alone
Night after night, they'd hear him sing his song (he'd sing)

Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
I am not afraid of what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here...without you

The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
When he fell in love himself, he came to understand
How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored
Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read
The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
And the one about the man who sits alone
Year after year, singing his song (he'd sing)

Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
I am not afraid of what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here...without you

The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
They led him to a cold gray room, the guard told him to wait
When the gaurd brought Bobby in, the young man finally knew
He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too
And when the guard left the two of them alone
He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang the song

Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
You have taught me not to fear what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here...without you

"Break Each Other's Hearts Again"
(with Don Henley)

"Break Each Other's Hearts Again"
(with Don Henley)



Do you still drink whiskey?
Can I buy you a round?
If nobody's sitting here, do you mind if I sit down?
I was nervous when I saw you
I almost walked away
And now I can't believe what I'm about to say

These arms want to hold you
These lips want to kiss you
These eyes are glad to see you
Well baby I miss you
Let's drive each other crazy
Like we did back then
Why don't we get together
And break each other's hearts again?

Maybe I've had one too many
I don't want to say too much
We both know the reasons
Why we didn't keep in touch
We're no good for each other
Still it's hard to let it go
I'm trying to be strong, but babe you've got to know

These arms want to hold you
These lips want to kiss you
These eyes are glad to see you
Baby, I miss you
Let's drive each other crazy
Like we did back then
Why don't we get together
And break each others hearts again?

Loving you should be the last thing on my mind
It feels so good to let you hurt me one more time.

These arms want to hold you
These lips want to kiss you
These eyes are glad to see you
Well baby I miss you
Let's drive each other crazy
Like we did back then
Why don't we get together
And break each others hearts again?

"But Why"

"But Why"


I can open doors all by myself
And I'm strong enough to face this world
Without anybody's help
But why, why would I want to
Why, when you love me like you do

[Chorus:]
I could go on livin'
Without tasting your kiss
Get by without this moment
You touching me like this, but why

I could keep this feeling locked in my heart
I could bury these emotions, and put up my guard
But why, why start resisting
Why, look at all I'd be missing

[Chorus]

But why would i do that
I'd have to be crazy
To give all you give me
What you do to me baby

I could go on livin'
Without tasting your kiss
Get by without this moment
You touching me like this
And holding me and loving me like this,
But why, why would I want to baby
Oh, why

"Buying Her Roses"

"Buying Her Roses"



I took him for granted
Now looking back at it
He's not the only one to blame
Between the jobs and the kids
Wasn't much time for him
We let the fire slip away from the flame

Guess I shouldn't be surprised
But as hard as I try
I can't believe it's happened to me
But I know where he's at
And I know it's a fact
I'd have to be blind not to see

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me God only knows
I know I should tell him
To leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes

Should I put up a fight
Does it matter who's right
Should I ruin my life or my pride
Can we save what we had
And if he comes back
Will I ever get it out of my mind

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me God only knows
I know I should tell him
To leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me God only knows
I know I should tell him
To leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes

What'll I do if he goes
What'll I do if he goes

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"



By the time I get to Phoenix he'll be risin'
He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door
And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that man so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque he'll be workin'
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma he'll be sleepin'
He'll turn softly and call my name out low
And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him
Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
Oh, he just didn't know
I would really go

I would really go

"Can't Even Get The Blues No More"

"Can't Even Get The Blues No More"



I walk into the kitchen
The silverware is gone
The furniture is missing
I guess you got it all uhuh
This is where it ought to hurt
Seems like every time you leave me
You try to think of something worse

I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like I did before
And nothing happens when I walk the floor
So what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues

Well this time ain't no different
The sun's up in the sky
Sitting on the back porch
Clouds are rolling by
Oh this is where it ought to rain
But it doesn't really matter
To me it's all about the same

I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like I did before
And nothing happens when I walk the floor
So what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues
(You try and hurt me)

I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like I did before
And nothing happens when I walk the floor
So what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues

"Can't Stop Now"

"Can't Stop Now"



I can't say I didn't know what I was doing
I can't pretend things just got out of hand
I should of kept my distance
While I was still strong
But I got caught up in the feeling
Carrying along
But it's too late baby
I can't stop now

Well I walked right in with my eyes wide open
But I was blind when you told me you'd be mine
Just as soon as you were free
I should have slowed down
Before push came to shove
But I was already falling
Now too deep in love
And it's too late baby
I can't stop now

Can't stop now
Crazy heart running out of control
Can't stop now
I'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be heading for a breakdown
But I can't stop now

Well I'm sitting here wondering
How I ever let myself fall
I keep hearing promises
But nothing seems to change it all
The love we made
Has got a life of it's own
It'll keep on going long after you're gone
Now it's too late baby
Can't stop now

Can't stop now
Crazy heart running out of control
Can't stop now
I'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be heading for a breakdown
But I can't stop now

I might be heading for a breakdown
But I can't stop now
I might be heading for a breakdown
But I can't stop now

"Cathy's Clown"

"Cathy's Clown"



I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's Clown

You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let em pass you by
You're not a man at all

She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let em call you Cathy's Clown

When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that I'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And I'm the one who cares

I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's Clown

You're Cathy's Clown
You're Cathy's Clown

"Climb That Mountain High"

"Climb That Mountain High"



Red sun a-rising, over the hill
I've had enough of this desert to last from now until
I'm tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out

I'm gonna climb that mountain high
I'm gonna see what's on the other side
I'm gonna kiss this town good-bye
I'm gonna climb that mountain

How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil would've chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true

I'm gonna climb that mountain high
I'm gonna see what's on the other side
I'm gonna kiss this town good-bye
I'm gonna climb that mountain

If I stay here forever
What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
I'm gonna climb that mountain high

I'm gonna climb that mountain high
I'm gonna see what's on the other side
I'm gonna kiss this town good-bye
I'm gonna climb that mountain
