"Transistor Rodeo"

"Transistor Rodeo"


Now she's waiting in the swing under the front porch light
The girls from work are going out tonight
All week long they've been making plans
Gonna look for love and find a man oh man

[Chorus:]
At the transistor rodeo they've got
Cowboys and cowgirls just for show
They ride em hard and they hold on tight
And they dance and they dance
And they dance real slow
At the transistor rodeo

Expectation was a none too great
They dance every dance and now it's getting late
They'll be back next week and try again
They want to dance the dance that never ends

[Chorus:]
At the transistor rodeo they've got
Cowboys and cowgirls just for show
They ride em hard and they hold on tight
And they dance and they dance
And they dance real slow
And they dance and they dance
And they dance real slow

And there's always a chance you can find it tonight
If you go where the lonely go
And you search every heart and you look in the eyes
And you know they come and they go
And they dance

[Chorus]

[Chorus:]
At the transistor rodeo they've got
Cowboys and cowgirls just for show
They ride em hard and they hold on tight
And they dance and they dance
And they dance real slow
At the transistor rodeo

"Travelin' Band"

"Travelin' Band"



They were searchin' for stars when we came along
It was rock 'n roll in a country song
There were five of us thinking that we can
This is the life and times of a traveling band
Hollywood had a funny face
So we took our chances and we got away
Back to Nashville, Tennessee
Hobie, Bobby, Jim and Joe and me

No the west coast life
Didn't fit just right

You could see us on the television
It ain't easy bein' all that grand
So we put on our blue jeans and our t-shirts
And made off with our guitars in the van
And took our place
Out on the stage
In a travelin' band

We heard our song on the radio
Along with the "Gambler" we hit the road
All across the USA
We were gypsies on parade
We were all about three chords and the truth
We wrote our songs on the bus, in the booth
Some go fast like "Some Girls Do"
Some go slow like "Used to Blue"

When the lights went down
We could hear the crowd

We headlined our first show in Salt Lake City
We still make a stop there now and then
They've got all our faces on their t-shirts
You should have seen our hairdos way back when
We took our place
On the stage
In a travelin' band

Fame and fortune don't mean much
Without someone to hold and someone to touch
Some wives left, some stayed on
So who do you love when the beat goes on
Now we're 27 years and a million miles
Shifting gears and changing styles
We said goodbye to old DC
Now it's Hobie, Shayne and Jim, the Joes and me

And when "The Race is On"
They all sing along
Now I'd like to take this time to thank you
Though it's been a long and winding road
I count my blessings when I see those faces
And I look down at this guitar in my hand
And I take my place
On the stage
In a travelin' band

I'm in a travelin' band

"Travelin' Shoes"

"Travelin' Shoes"


Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through
The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay are journey down

[Chorus:]
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
The brakeman swings his lantern
Lit with never ending love
And mama I can't thank you near enough

[Chorus x2]

We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

"Treat Her Right"

"Treat Her Right"


A lot of people breaking hearts these days
Giving up and just walking away
Forever's just another word
That you hear young lovers say
I know it may be old fashioned, but I still believe
Love stays when the strong winds blow
Even when it hurts, don't let go

[Chorus:]
You've got to treat her right, understand
That she's your woman and you're her man
Tell her that you need her
Like the desert needs the rain
And if you treat her right, show her you care
When you need her she'll be there
Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night
If you love her, treat her right

A good woman ain't easy to find
The faithful and the loving kind
And if you don't hold her tight
She'll slip right through your hands
Love gives more than it takes
So be willing for her sake
Stand by her when the strong winds blow
Even when it hurts, don't let go

[Chorus]

She's your best friend and your lover
So if you want to keep her
Take good care of her

If you treat her right, show her you care
When you need her, she'll be there
Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night
If you love her treat her right

Treat her right
Treat her right

"Trouble On The Line"

"Trouble On The Line"


Operator we must have a bad connection
If you got someone wantin' me
I changed my number when she changed her mind
Operator can't you see

[Chorus:]
There's trouble on the line
Tears are gonna fall
It happens every time
She's up against the wall
Somebody broke her heart
Now she's after mine
The minute that she calls
There'll be trouble on the line

Operator now if we've been disconnected
How does she keep gettin' through
I won't have a choice
If I hear her voice
Operator can't you see

[Chorus]

The minute that she calls
There'll be trouble on the line

"Tryin' To Find (A Way To Make It Last)"

"Tryin' To Find (A Way To Make It Last)"



He keeps his mouse ears hangin’ on the post of his bed
So he can put em on and live it all again in his head
All the rides and parades it was such a great day
Now my little man won’t let it go he’s

Tryin’ to find a way to make it last
Tryin’ to make it last forever
It’s a matter of time, if you seek you will find a way to make it last

I brought you flowers and you knocked me out with that first kiss
We said forever, we would have a love like this
And if you’ll take a look in the guiness book
We’ll go down in history

Tryin’ to find a way to make it last
Tryin’ to make it last forever
It’s a matter of time, if you seek you will find a way to make it last

I talked to an old man and he’d been down on his knees,
Said he learned who to turn to
And where it all leads

Tryin’ to find a way to make it last
Tryin’ to make it last forever
It’s a matter of time, if you seek you will find a way to make it last

Tryin’ to find a way
Tryin’ to find a way to make it last
Tryin’ to find a way to make it last
We’re all tryin’ to find a way to make it last

"Used To Blue"

"Used To Blue"



I got your postcard from Dallas
And you say you wonder if I'm doing alright
I'm glad you still think about us
You don't have to worry now
It hardly ever gets me down

I'm getting used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue

I'll get me an unlisted number
And I'll draw the curtains
Like there's nobody home
Find me a cloud to sit under
Baby turn the tv on
I gotta have a little fun

I'm getting used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue

You know it's gonna take some tears
It's gonna take some time to get this feeling I keep by my side oh the way it had to fly

I'm getting used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue

Used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue

"Walk Out Of The Rain"

"Walk Out Of The Rain"



Girl I know you have been through a lot
Your heart's broke in two, yeah I ain't forgot
I've been hangin' on and waitin'
But I'm tired of hesitatin'
When it comes to us

Girl I think I might have what you want
Maybe I do and maybe I don't
But I'm willing and I'm able
And my cards are on the table
So let's fall in love

You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes
You gotta try and make a change sometimes
From underneath the clouds the sun ain't ever gonna shine
You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes

Girl I think I might just be the one
To brighten your sky and bring out the sun
From the cup of life you're sippin'
And it's time you started livin'
So let's drink it up

Girl I think you have waited so long
You might've forgot just how to go on
That's why I'm here to remind you
That all this stuff is behind you
And it's time for love

You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes
You gotta try and make a change sometimes
From underneath the clouds the sun ain't ever gonna shine
You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes

You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes
You gotta try and make a change sometimes
From underneath the clouds the sun ain't ever gonna shine
You gotta walk out of the rain sometimes

"We're Everything To Me"

"We're Everything To Me"



Standing on the corner and unsuspecting
My heart out, left unprotected
You walked in, right at home
Didn't take long for me too know

We're the best thing
That ever happened to me
We're everything, everything
Only took you for me to see
We're everything to me

Ought to hear 'em talk
About our condition
Lost in love beyond recognition
When I see you, I see me
We don't say "I", girl, we say, "we"

We're the best thing
That ever happened to me
We're everything, everything
Only took you for me to see
We're everything to me

We're the best thing, the best thing
We're everything to me

We're the best thing
That ever happened to me
We're everything, everything
Only took you for me to see
We're everything to me

We're everything, everything

We're everything to me

We're everything, everything

We're everything to me

We're everything, everything

We're everything to me

"What Am I Going To Tell My Heart"

"What Am I Going To Tell My Heart"



Everybody thinks that I'm doing fine
They think that I finally got you off my mind
I fooled them all, oh babe, I'm playing it cool
But there's a part of me that I can't seam to fool
With out gettin' over you.

So what am I going to tell my heart
While I'm lying here alone in the dark
And your memory steps in and tears it all apart
What am I going to tell my heart?

You'd think by now that I'd be over you
I could tell you that but my heart knows the truth
That lies convincing, girl, for everyone but me
And everyday that goes by somethings telling me
That part of me ain't free.

So what am I going to tell my heart
While I'm lying here alone in the dark
And your memory steps in and tears it all apart
What am I going to tell my heart?

So what am I going to tell my heart
While I'm lying here alone in the dark
And your memory steps in and tears it all apart
What am I going to tell my heart?

So what am I going to tell my heart
While I'm lying here alone in the dark
And your memory steps in and tears it all apart
What am I going to tell my heart?
