"I'm Movin' On"

"I'm Movin' On"


That big eight wheeler a rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
'Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin' on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

"I'm Only Sleeping"

"I'm Only Sleeping"


When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream

Please don't wake me
No don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find, there's no need

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream

Please don't wake me
No don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

"I'm Ragged, But I'm Right"

"I'm Ragged, But I'm Right"


I've come here to tell you boys
I'm ragged, but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler
I stay out late at night

Got a porterhouse steak
Three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer
In this big town can afford

I got a big electric fan
To keep me cool while I sleep
Little baby boy playing around at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler
And I lead a dirty life
I tell you boys I'm ragged, but I'm alright

When I got married I knew I'd settle down
Build a little love nest
Right here in my hometown
Now I've got a family
One that I'm proud of
I know that we'll be happy
Because they're the ones I love

"If I Were A Man"

"If I Were A Man"


If I were a man. I'd be so sweet.
I'd give me everything I need.
I'd be so glad to go this deep,
If I were a man.

If I were the moon, I'd hang so low.
I'd bring sweet love to all below.
I wouldn't change and hurt you so,
If I were the moon.

Well it goes on and on forever,
and there's just no way to know.
I can change just like the weather,
I'm solid as a stone.

If I were the wind, I'd blow and shout.
I'd clean our souls and bodies out.
I'd shake the memories from this house,
If I were the wind.

If I were God, I guess I'd know.
I guess my friend's would tell me so.
It would be a heavy line to tow,
If I were God.

Well, it goes on and on forever,
and there's just no way to know.
I can change just like the weather.
I'm as solid as a stone.

[Repeat last verse]

If I were a man, I'd be so sweet.
I'd give me everything I need.
I'd be so glad to this deep.
I'd change the way the whole world thinks.

If I were a man....if I were a man

"If There's A God On My Side"

"If There's A God On My Side"


I walk through the wind, the snow and the rain
And no one is there when I fall
The sound of my heartbeat
Is all I have left
But you know once I had it all

The prayers of a fool are spoken in haste
And I'm just the one who would know
But I'm sending signals
'Cause I'm falling deeper
Than I though I could go

If there's a God on my side
Why don't she show me her face
If there's a God on my side
Could she live in this place?
If there's a God on my side
Is she inside these walls?

If there's a God on my side
Why don't she show me her face?
If there's a God on my side
Could she live in this place?

If there's a God on my side
Is she inside these walls?
If there's a God on my side
Could she not hear me call?

And I keep on calling
Oh I keep on calling

"If You Change Your Mind"

"If You Change Your Mind"


If you change your mind
And leave the past behind
You know where you'll always find me

And if she breaks your heart
And tears your world apart
You can always count on me

And when your heart's in doubt
And things aren't working out
I can be the one who makes you happy

Call me on the telephone
Darling, I'm always home
If you ever change your mind

When the time is right
I can hold you tight
You know I can wait forever

And time is on our side
And we can surely find
All the love we'll ever need

And take a chance on this
Seal it with a kiss
I can be the one who makes you happy

Call me on the telephone
Darling, I'm always home
If you ever change your mind

All I have is love to give you
Baby, I could be there with you
If you ever change your mind

Call me on the telephone
Darling, I am always home
If you ever change your mind

"It Hasn't Happened Yet"

"It Hasn't Happened Yet"


You said that I would be sorry
If you went away
You said I wouldn't be happy
Without hell to pay
You said the teardrops would fall
Between the bedroom walls
You said that I would regret
But it hasn't happened yet

Your friends come over and offer
To take me to eat
They seem so sorry I'm sufferin'
So much misery
They say to just give a call
Next time that I start to crawl
I always say yeah you bet
But it hasn't happened yet

I don't have anyone
I'm havin' fun
Nobody's into me
No one's a mystery
I see you on the street
My heart don't miss a beat
Love and hostility
Don't mean a thing to me

I find it hard to remember
The good times we had
Call me insensitive
Now that it's over, I'm glad
You said when big shadows fell
It would be too hard to tell
My life from your silhouette
But it hasn't happened yet

Don't hold your breath, baby

"Land Of Nightmares"

"Land Of Nightmares"


I love you till I just can't feel I need you till it makes me numb
We hang on a noose of subtle abuse like there's nothing to fear
Living in the land of nightmares
The ocean's calm outside my door the storm rages inside my head
In perfect control so no one could know I smile but I'm not even there
Living in the land of nightmares

A vision full of sound and light I think she's holding back the night
With bitter desire she stoops to conspire she is the reason I'm here
Living in the land living in the land of nightmares

"Last Stop Before Home"

"Last Stop Before Home"


I am the keeper of a very old flame.
It's long been ignored, but it's not been completely in vain.
And all that I was, I gave that to you.
And if it's not enough, oh, there's nothing more I can do.

I guard the well to a century of tears.
I let them fall after hours and all through the years.
And all that I am as I stand here today,
Seems more than enough, there's nothing more I will say.

You're the last stop before home,
An' I always go home.
You're the last stop and everything I know,
That I always go home.

[Instrumental]

I'm not the sleeper who waits for a kiss.
But who is the God who designed me to love you like this?
An' if I break in two and fall to my knees,
An' tell you the truth, would you then believe you have been this to me.

The last stop before home,
An' I always go home.
You're the last stop and everything I know,
That I always go home.

You're the last stop before home,
An' I always go home alone.

"Like A Wave"

"Like A Wave"


My memory is filling with smoke
Such a relief not to know
Except for the body and soul
There's nothing here I want to own

But I gave my love and it rolls like a wave
Back through my history on past the grave

My taxi is waiting outside
Sure we'll begin right on time
Now you are still writing your lines
But I will not open my eyes

But I gave my love and it rolls like a wave
Back through my history on past the grave

But I gave my love and it rolls like a wave
Back through my history on past the grave
