Lovesick Blues

Lovesick Blues


I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
I don't know what I'm gonna do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord

That last long day, you said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would cry
He'd do me, he'd do you
He's got that kinda lovin'

Lord, I love to hear it when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar mama now
I'm so lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues

I'm in love, I'm in love with a good looking guy
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a good looking guy
He don't care about me

I've tried and I've tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
Now that he is leavin'
This is all I can say

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
I don't know what I'm gonna do
All I do is sit and cry, oh Lord

That last long day, he said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would die
He'd do me, he'd do you
He's got that kinda lovin'

Lord, I love to hear it when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar mama now
I'm so lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues

Lovin' Arms

Lovin' Arms


If you could see me now the one who said that she would rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone if you could only see me now
If you could hold me now just for a moment if I could really make you mine
Just for a little while turn back the hands of time
if I could only hold you now
I've been too long in the wind too long in the rain
taking any comforts that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
Laying in your lovin' arms again

If you could hear me now singing somewhere through the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight if you could only hear me now
I've been too long in the wind...
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
I can almost feel your lovin' arms again

Loving You Could Never Be Better

Loving You Could Never Be Better


Here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where the lights're dim and true love is coming through
There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're concerned
We built ourselves a fire so let it burn

Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame
'Cause loving you the way I do stays the same
This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be
And love could never be better for you and me

When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces
Because I know what's on your mind it's just me
You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've
had so many time and how
Loving you could never be better than it is right now

You've got that love-me-look...
Loving you could never be better than it is right now

Makin' Love Don't Always Make Love Grow

Makin' Love Don't Always Make Love Grow


The first time that I said let's start our family
He said, "Hon I've got the whole wide world to see
So come along and be this drifter's lady
The best next thing to love is bein' free"

And I said, "Don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down?"
He said not while there's some places left to go, yeah
I'd like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
I said, "Makin' love don't always make love grow oh didn't you know"

Acapulco and the Mexicaly sunshine, Hawaii on a rooftop in the rain
Out of Rio De Janeiro on a tramp liner and just outside of Paris on a train
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
He said not while there's some places left to go

I'd like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin' town
I said, "Makin' love don't always make love grow oh didn't you know
And one day walkin' on the beach of Monterey"
A little girl came up and took me by the hand

And said, "Mom is it okay if I go swimmin'?"
But when he saw her mistake he blushed and ran
He laughed and reached for me but I just stepped away
I fought away the tears and tried to smile

Suddenly I knew I'd wait for him no longer
Just as suddenly he changed his style
He said, "Don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down?"
Someday everybody leads a home

Yes, I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
But makin' love is hard to do alone
I said, "Don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down"
Babe, I'm gonna take it on my own

See I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
Why makin' love might even make love grow
Didn't you know didn't you know?

Missing Piece Of Puzzle

Missing Piece Of Puzzle


You're the sunshine
That warms my heart each day
You're the rainbow
When gray clouds roll away

You're the melody for the words
That my heart's been tryin' to think of
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love

You're the paint on the canvas
Where an artist spilled his dream
You're something to believe
In an answer prayer for me

You're my guiding angel
Sent from heaven above
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love

You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to make my life complete
You're something to remember when I'm down
And need to get back on my feet

You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love

My Arms Stay Open All Night

My Arms Stay Open All Night


I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know
When all the laughter's ended there's still somewhere you can go

My arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all night

Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time
So if it's after midnight or just before the break of day
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late

'Cause my arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all night

When all your so-called friends go home
You don't ever have to be alone

'Cause my arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all night

My arms stay open all night

My Cowboy's Getting Old

My Cowboy's Getting Old


Years ago he was the handsomest devil in town
Well, I know 'cause I've seen his pictures laying around
But he's gettin' old and can't ride them broncos no more
It makes me sad my old man just hit sixty-four

Years ago his home was the wild rodeos
But his scars are the only trophies that he's got to show
Now he's gettin' old his spurs are all rusty and brown
Oh, it makes me sad my old man is fast slowing down

He's my father, my friend and I love him
That was hard to say just a few years ago
Funny but I guess I have mellowed 'cause my cowboy's getting old
'Cause my cowboy's getting old

Years ago I was always there by his side
He'd saddle my pony and off in the sunset we'd ride
Now he's getting old and I have gone off on my own
It makes me sad how my old man's years have flown

He's my father, my friend and I love him
That was hard to say just a few years ago
Funny but I guess I have mellowed 'cause my cowboy's getting old
'Cause my cowboy's getting old, 'cause my cowboy's getting old

My Song

My Song


I wasn't lookin' for no one, I was just out tryin' to have some fun
When, baby, you walked in my world that day
Then you looked right into my eyes
And a voice that could make the devil cry
You just sang my poor heart away

Friends may come and friends may go
But lovers either stay or break your heart, oh, you just fall apart
I thought I could take it or leave it but I can't hardly believe it
But nobody ever sang a song about me before
And I begged you, baby, as you walked out the door

Please don't play my song for somebody else
It's so beautiful, let me keep it for myself
Please don't change the chorus and put in another man's name
Please don't take my song away, oh baby
Please don't take my song away

Sittin' here in my lonely room with the radio on one afternoon
I heard a voice that made me shiver
Oh, no one could sing that way if they didn't mean just what they say
And my tears fell like a river

Sang, "Oh baby, I love you, I was such a fool not to stay
We may never see each other again
But I'll never take your song away, oh baby
I'll never take your song away, oh baby
I'll never take your song away"

New York City Song

New York City Song


I'm sittin' in this New York City hotel room alone
Wishin' I was somewhere else or on my way back home
Nashville Tennessee I know that's where I do belong
Cause I don't know no New York City song

They know I'm from Dixie when I open up my mouth
They don't treat the ladies here the way they do down south
I thought I could make it here but I can't get along
Cause I don't know no New York City song
And Lord I'd like to tell you just how much I'd like to leave
Cause in my mind that south bound song is tuggin' on my sleeve

New York City ain't the place a country girl should be
New York City ain't the place for me
Today I walked a New York City avenue downtown
I've never seen so many people hurryin' around
And when I smile they look as if to say that smiling's wrong
No I don't know no New York City song
I'm sittin' in this New York City...
Cause I don't know no New York City song

No Man's Land

No Man's Land


Many years ago in Brushcreak Georgia
Molly Marlo was a virgin girl
She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson
Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world

He caught her after church one Sunday morning
And took her body with his rough hard hands
And walked off laughing as she lay there crying
Since then she's been known as No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In No Man's Land

Molly grew into a luscious beauty
Each man's head would turn as she walked by
And as their hot eyes watched her body moving
They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh

Molly went to school and studdied nursing
Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact
The first year that she nursed at Millards Clinic
Six men pretended they had heart attacks

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In No Man's Land

Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison
In feaverish pain that suffering shell of a man
He was glad to see the nurse from Millards Clinic
'Till he saw the burning eyes of No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
Barney cried but she denied him
And he prayed and wrung their hands
Now his soul's walking
Through No Man's Land
