"Just In Case"

"Just In Case"


It's over I know you're going
If you can't stay I don't want you too
I won't miss you no I don't care where you go
But where you goin' just in case I do
I'm glad you've got friend there in town
And I hope he'll be good to you
Don't you worry I won't worry bout you
But what's a number just in case I do
It's good you're gonna be happy
You're right it's the right thing to do
And you couldn't really be happy
If you thought I still care for you
I know you don't love me anymore
Well that's all right cause I don't love you
And I don't care if you'll ever come back again
But I'll be here just in case you do
Yeah I'll be here just in case you do

"Let My Love Be Your Pillow"

"Let My Love Be Your Pillow"


When you need a good friend well here I am
And if you have a problem I'll be your helping hand
If you have a bad day I'll make you a good night
And if you ever lose your way you know I'll be your guiding light.
Just let my love be your pillow
Lay your worries down and rest your head on me
Just let my love be your pillow
And let me turn your life into a beautiful dream.
Well, I won't promise you there won't be hard times
We'll share whatever comes down each road of life
And if things turn out wrong you can turn to me
Let my arms be your blanket when you sleep.
Just let my love be your pillow
Lay your worries down girl rest your head on me
Just let my love be your pillow
And let me turn your life into a beautiful dream.
Just let my love be your pillow
Lay your worries down and rest your head on me
Just let my love be your pillow
And let me turn your life into a beautiful dream...

"Let's Take The Long Way Around The World"

"Let's Take The Long Way Around The World"


In the daily rush of things
If we stop to think it seems
We never have time alone

Doing things we have to do
Not much time for me and you
Before me know it, it will all be gone

Let's take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let's take the long way around the world
And let's take it real slow

I get hungry just to talk
Take your hand and take a wake
I never have you to myself enough

The two of us are really one
And when it's all said and done
The only thing that really lasts is love

Let's take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let's take the long way around the world
And let's take it real slow [repeat twice to fade]

"Like Children I Have Known"

"Like Children I Have Known"


They're dividing up their playthings
This is yours, this is mine
They're dividing up the bedroom
With an imaginary line.
One is running back to mother
One just wants to be alone
They will cry and pout and walk out
Just like children I have known.
Just like children I have known.
They're not wiser, they're just grown
It's not a chocolate ice cream cone
It's not a doll-house, it's a home
Just like children I have known.
Almost down to sticks and stones
They'll be lost out on their own
Just like children I have known
Just like children I have known.
And they're gonna cry their eyes out
Once they find out what they've done
Cause their hearts aren't made of candy
That they eat what the other wants.
It could be a happy ending
They don't have to live alone
They could kiss and hug and make up
Just like children I have known
Just like children I have known.
They're not wiser, they're just grown
It's not a chocolate ice cream cone
It's not a doll-house, it's a home
Just like children I have known...

"Linda On My Mind"

"Linda On My Mind"
(originally by Conway Twitty)



Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her cryin'
She know I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
Yes I know that I once loved her and I place no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plans the way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me
She said I've loved you for such a long time but you're married to a friend of mine
And I try hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger and I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind...

"Local Girls"

"Local Girls"


Oh, I was kicked back in a rented cabana,
Easin' my mind with some old Carlos Santana,
Nibblin' on banana moon pie,
When I swore I saw an angel from Heaven floatin' by.
Then I thought: "No, no way: she must be from around here."
She got one of those tans you just know she wears all year.
Swayin', sashayin', flip-floppin' along,
Like wherever she may be is right where she belongs.

An' I thought: "Oooh, I love the local girls."
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
"I love the local girls.
"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local girls."

I said: "Madam, if you have nowhere to go,
"Can I interest you in an ice-cold Pacifico?"
An' she said: "As luck would have it,
"I got nothin' but time,"
She reached in her back-pack,
Said: "Down here you'll find,
"That a lady don't leave home,
"Without a couple of limes."

An' I said: "Oooh, I love the local girls."
"Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
"I love the local girls.
"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local girls."

Later on she took me to this bar built out of cinder blocks,
One of those joints with a notice to shell park in line.
While we were dancin', she whispered: "I like you a lot."
An' I said: "My, my, my, go on: say that one more time."

Five years later, here I am intermittent
With a couple a-toaheads as that big ol' orange sun is settin'.
I can't believe how good it's stuill gettin',
As I watch my daughters splashin' in the water.

An' I thought: "Oooh, I love the local girls."
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
"I love the local girls.
(Here she come, now.)
"Lo, lo, local; (Hey.)
"Lo, lo, local; (Here she come, now.)
"Lo, lo, local girls.
"Lo, lo, local; (Ooh.)
"Lo, lo, local; (Whoo.)
I love the local girls.
"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local;
I love the local girls.
I love the local girls.
I love the local girls...

"Long Distance Memory"

"Long Distance Memory"


To her I'm just some time she spent in '74
Just a closet she never opens anymore
It's sad to know that all we've become
Is just a long distance memory.
A now and then call to San Antone
Well, it hurts to know I'm just a friend she'll forget
Just a piece of her life that didn't fit
And tears fill my eyes when I realize she's gone
Now I'm a long distance memory.
She's a now and then call to San Antone
Will time be a healer, it's just a friend
And nothing ever fills the space where love has been
And I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone.
I'm just a long distance memory.
She's a now and then call to San Antone
No, I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone
I'm just a long distance memory.
She's a now and then call to San Antone...

"Looking Out My Window Through The Pain"

"Looking Out My Window Through The Pain"


I watched from the window as she slipped from the house
Once again she's leaving but Lord she's not to blame
This morning a mem'ry phoned her and he's a habit she can't break
So till she returns I'll wait for her looking out my window through the pain.
The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again, she's chasing mem'ries and I'm losing everything
But Lord, I love her so, I'll wait for her looking out my window through the pain.
I'll pick up her pieces when he lays her down again
With love and forgiveness I'll give her reasons to stay
Then I close my eyes pretending maybe someday she'll change
And when I won't be left lonely looking out my window through the pain.
The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again, she's chasing mem'ries and I'm losing everything
But Lord, I love her so, I'll wait for her looking out my window through the pain...

"Lost In The Fifties (In The Still Of The Night)"

"Lost In The Fifties (In The Still Of The Night)"


Close your eyes, baby, follow my heart,
Call on the mem'ries, here in the dark.
We'll let the magic take us away,
Back to the feeling we shared when they'd play.

In the still of the night, hold me darling,
Hold me tight, oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be do.
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight.

These precious hours, we know we can't survive
Love's all that matters while the past is alive.
Now and for always, till time disappears,
We'll hold each other whenever we hear:

In the still of the night, hold me darling,
Hold me tight, oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be do.
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight...

"Lost In The Fifties Tonight"

"Lost In The Fifties Tonight"


Close your eyes, baby
Follow my heart
Call on the memories
Here in the dark
We'll let the magic
Take us away
Back to the feelings
We shared when they played
In the still of the night
Hold me darlin', hold me tight, oh
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight
These precious hours
We know can't survive
But love's all that matters
While the past is alive
Now and for always
Till time disappears
We'll hold each other
Whenever we hear
In the still of the night
Hold me darlin', hold me tight, say
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight
Oh, so right, say
Oh, so real, so right
So real, so right
