"Why Don't We Talk About It"

"Why Don't We Talk About It"


Once I had a woman with a high hand
And I let her treat me mighty low man
She made a lover of my best friend
And now he treats me like a has been

Yes, I've had my trouble with the world around me
No, I didn't give it my best
Now I get a chance to see some better weather
If you want to stay forever
Why don't we talk about it now

Yes my reputation says I'm flaky
Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky
Some people 'round here think I've lost it
They drew the line I stepped across it

Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles
No, I didn't bring it on myself
Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words
And if you don't care what you've heard
Why don't we talk about it now

Sometimes I make it all up in my head
There's a whole lot of things that should have never been said
This new ground feels solid that I'm standing on

I have done some things that might amaze you
But then again most things don't even phase you
You got a way of standing steadfast
I've got a way of running dead last

Yes, I've had my trouble trying to start over
No, I didn't give it all I could
Now I get a chance to know what love can heal
And if you want to know the feeling
Why don't we talk about it now

If you want to know the feeling
Why don't we talk about it now

"Wish You Were Her"

"Wish You Were Her"


Booked passage on an ocean liner
Went out on the sea
Sat at the captain's table
She was seated next to me
She brushed my arm discretely
With the pearls around her neck
She looked like Rita Hayworth in her low cut black silk dress
We went up to her cabin
And laughed the whole night through
Over champagne and jet planes and hot cars broken into
Having a wonderful time
Wish you were her

I traveled to the south of France
Checked into a pink hotel
She was standing by the croupier
The dice were in her spell
I staked my whole fortune
On a hand of baccarat
She moved around behind the bank
And she brought me luck
We got into a fast car
And sped into the night
And watched the sun come up over St. Paul de Vence
Having a wonderful time
Wish you were her

I set sail for Egypt
The great pyramids
I crawled into the darkness
To where the pharaohs lived
Walked out into the evening
She was bathing in the Nile
She took me to her caravan
Where she danced around the fire
I've never been so happy to be so miserable
I've tried hard to forget you, but I can't run fast enough
Having a wonderful time
Wish you were her

Having a wonderful time
Wish you were her
Wish you were her
I wish you were her

"You Been On My Mind"

"You Been On My Mind"


Guess it's time for me to say just how it is that I feel today
Today is just like any other day 'cause you've been on my mind
It really hasn't been that long but it's funny where the time has flown
Old memories just keep holding on and you been on my mind

You been on my mind sometimes
I think I must be going blind
I've seen a world baby without you
But I don't see myself there too

Hardly does a day go by when I don't see your clear blue eyes
Many nights I just wonder why and you been on my mind

You've been on my mind so long I've been thinking that something was wrong
I've told myself I should forget but I don't seem to have it yet
I don't dream that you might change I don't think that I'm acting strange
I tell myself it's all in vain and you been on my mind

You've been on my mind I've said
Till it's all that's in my head
Yes I know what I must do
But I don't think you'll be there too

Guess it's time for me to go but as it is I'll never know
Just what it is that I long for so and you been on my mind

"You Can't Say We Didn't Try"
(with Rodney Crowell)

"You Can't Say We Didn't Try"
(with Rodney Crowell)



Just because we're scared
Doesn't mean we're wrong
The world won't end today
If both of us move on

But didn't we have a time
You can't take that away
We'd had a change of mind
I think it's safe to say

That I've been holding on to you
And you've been holding on to me
'Cos neither of us wants to be
The first to say goodbye
And so it goes we must admit
How we both thought that this was it
Though we couldn't make the pieces fit
You can't say we didn't try

Close the window, pull the shade
Turn the key and lock the door
We'd best forget the plans we made
We don't live here anymore

Maybe somewhere down the line
We'll remember who we were
Another place, another time
Some old feeling starts to stir

But I've been holding on to you
And you've been holding on to me
'Cos neither of us wants to be
The one to say goodbye
And so it goes we've grown apart
Guess you could say we lost a heart
And even though we came up short
You can't say we didn't try
