"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"



If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe it's all true
Knowing that you lie straight faced, while I cry
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Everything of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way and I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lie straight faced, while I cry
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Everything of myself

"Red Balloon"

"Red Balloon"



Got myself a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Gettin' in the red balloon
Pinnin' up my eyes
Take a love light from my eyes
Blue, blue surprise

Played with toys for children
As a a child I got
Haven't any time for children
Although I got a lot
I took a love light from my eyes
Blue, blue surprise
We met as friends
And you were so easy to get to know
We'll see each other again
Oh my, I hope so

Played with toys for children
As a a child I got
Haven't any time for children
Although I got a lot
I took a love light from my eyes
Blue, blue surprise
Got myself a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Everything's a red balloon
Fillin' up my eyes

"Restless Kid"

"Restless Kid"



I came in like a restless wind
On a wagon train
But I'm gonna go like a July snow
Back to where I came from
Gonna leave this hum drum
It's to slow and tame

None of your business where I've been
Don't ask me what I've done
Run your ranch and punch your cows
And stay behind my gun man
Colorado's right hand will put you on the run

I got a gal in Denver town
That's crying over me
But I said goodbye and I let her cry
I miss her company
But I'll get out of this rut
Rio Bravo's killin' me

They got a man locked in a cell
That's a free'r man than I
He's gonna laugh right in their face
When they lead him out to die
And he's gonna leave this badland
And ride off in the sky

You're gonna see ol' Colorado
Headin' for the door
You better believe I'm gonna leave
Like the 904 train
Gotta breath some air again
That ain't been breathed before

"Salty Dog"

"Salty Dog"



Let me be your salty dog
I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog

I can see you standing there
I just gotta stop and stare
Honey let me be your salty dog

If you'd only speak to me
I'd be happy as could be
Honey let me be your salty dog

I can't think of what to say
You just make me feel that way
Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog
I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog

If you wanna see this boy
Jumpin' up and down for joy
Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog
I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog

I can't buy you diamond rings
But there's always other things
Honey let me be your salty dog

I can see you by my side
If you'd only be my bride
Honey let me be your salty dog

Please don't leave me in the cold
Won't you take this band of gold
Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog
I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog

"Say You Love Me"

"Say You Love Me"



Say you love me, say you do
And I'll spend my life loving you too
When today is just a memory
My heart will still belong to you
Say you love me too, say you do

You're my every dream come true
Let me share them all with you
I'll be yours my whole life through
Now and always, I love you

Say you love me, say you do
And I'll spend my life loving you too
When today is just a memory
My heart will still belong to you
Say you love me too, say you do
Say you love me too, say you do

"Send Me Somebody To Love"

"Send Me Somebody To Love"



Well I've been a little lazy, been a little crazy
On the road most of my life
Got me some stories, moments of glory
But it cost me the love of my life

Now I'm stuck in this small town, without a soul around
Who understands the things that I've done
It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same
Won't you send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love

I've been all 'round the world, and known so many girls
Had more than my share of good times
I'm quick with a whip, I just roll when I'm hit
Move on to friendlier clime's

And love when it leaves you, will burn you then freeze you
I shiver to think that she's gone
It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same
Won't you send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love

You can send in the clowns and all the girls in their gowns
They'd fill me for a night or two
When it gets this low and I'm scrapin' my soul
I need someone I can talk to

Oh so won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love

"She Belongs To Me"

"She Belongs To Me"



She's got everything she needs
She's an artist she don't look back
She's got everything she needs
She's an artist she don't look back
She can take the dark out of the nighttime
Paint the daytime black

You may start out standing
Probably steal her anything she sees
You can start out standing
Probably steal her anything she sees
But you'll wind up peaking through a keyhole
On your knees

She never stumbles
Got no place to fall
She never stumbles
Got no place to fall
She's nobody's child
The law can't touch her at all

Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween buy her a trumpet
For Christmas give her a drum

"Since I Don't Have You"

"Since I Don't Have You"



I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

I don't have happiness and I guess
I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
Mmm, since I don't have you
