Nobody Dies From A Broken Heart

Nobody Dies From A Broken Heart


Nobody told me
It could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way
Now that you're gone

It's hurting me more
Than any pain I've ever had
I don't know how I can go on

Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart

Everyone tells me
It's gonna take a little time
Before you find your heartaches slipping away

I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
And it doesn't help to hear them say

Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart

There nothing anybody's gonna say
That'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anyone can do
To take away my love for you

I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
It doesn't help to hear them say

Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart

Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart

Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you

Not Fade Away

Not Fade Away


I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your loving to me
Love that lasts more than one day

Love is love and not fade away
Love is love and not fade away

My love is bigger than a Cadillac
I try to love you but you drive me back
Your love for me just got to be real
For you to know just how I feel

I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your loving to me
Love that lasts more than one day

Love is love and not fade away
I said love is love and not fade away
Not fade away, not fade away

Love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away
Not fade away, not fade away

Love is real and not fade away
Not fade away, not fade away

I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is love and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away

I said love is real and not fade away
Not fade away, not fade away

I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away
I said love is real and not fade away

Get it

Oh, Lonesome Me

Oh, Lonesome Me


Well, everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how he set me free
Oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging 'round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see
Oh, lonesome me

But I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
He's flirting with the girls with all his charms
Yeah, I still love him so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me

Well, I bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
He's flirting with the girls with all his charms
Oh, but I still love him so and honey don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

Oh, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me

Old Dan Tucker's Daughter

Old Dan Tucker's Daughter


Mama died havin' me and papa tried to raise me
And then he took to drinkin' when I was only three
I'd follow him and his guitar along the streets of Mobile
Where he'd sing for just a drink and a lollipop for me

Then at night he sat me on the bar while he did some singin'
I played with his old railroad watch when I was a dancin'
And I passed around his worn out hat, they're pitchin' down some quarters
Oh how proud I was to be old Dan Tucker's daughter

Things seemed to go from bad to worse as I grew sadly older
And papa looked so down and out failin' more each day
And pride I always felt to him slowly turned to pity
And Lord you know it broke my heart each time I hear them say

Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter

Papa died just today a cold gray Mobile mornin'
Now here I stand all alone cryin' on his grave
Not a single soul from Mobile came to wish him well his journey
But at least for papa's goin', no one there will say

Hey, get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter

Old Weakness (Comin' On Strong)

Old Weakness (Comin' On Strong)


Two in the morning, too hot to sleep
Tossin' and turning and twistin' the sheets
I feel an old weakness coming on strong

Window wide open in the back bedroom
Smell of sweet honeysuckle in full bloom
I feel an old weakness coming on strong

Feel like I'm running real low on willpower
Can't get you out of this heart of mine
From the break of dawn till the midnight hour
I keep fighting to let you go
But your love is beyond my control

Took down that picture of you and me
But every time I look up where it used to be
I feel an old weakness coming on strong

Still got your number next to the phone
Just when I believe, I can leave it alone
I feel an old weakness coming on strong

Feel like I'm running real low on willpower
Can't get you out of this heart of mine
From the break of dawn till the midnight hour
I keep fighting to let you go
But your love is beyond my control

It's an old weakness coming on strong
I feel an old weakness, an old weakness
I feel an old weakness coming on strong

One Love At A Time

One Love At A Time


It makes me weak
and in a hurry
All night long I lay
and I worry
I'm so afraid I'm gonna talk in my sleep
Who do I love
Who am I using
Which one is which can get so confusing
I've got to chose one and set the other one free

One love at a time thats all I can handle
Burning both ends of the candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
and one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time

Ones got a birthday
Its in December
Which ones in July
I can't remember
I get em mixed up
What am I gonna do
It keeps me uptight
driving me crazy
They're both believing
They're both my baby
Sometimes I wonder
Whos been playing with who

One love at a time thats all I can handle
Burning both ends of the candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
and one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time
Yes it can tear this girl apart
I just need one love at a time

Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)


Would you look at what came down the road today

Wanting me to be one more mistake to make

A bridge to burn to get to someone knew hey pass me

Pecos Promenade

Pecos Promenade


If you've got a road map of Texas,
You can see that it's a wide open state.
From Amarillo down to Boulder,
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place.

They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas,
Or disco down on Galveston Bay.
But when God made them West Texas cowboys,
He gave them the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Big sign hangin' by the door,
Sawdust on an old dance floor.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade.

When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie,
And the starlight, falls on the state.
That's when this cowgirl needs me a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

Tonight's the first I saw him,
We can hear those twin fiddles play.
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar heaven,
As we dance the Pecos Promenade.

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe,
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade.
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade

That's when this cowgirl needs a cowboy,
To do the Pecos Promenade.

Pride Of Franklin County

Pride Of Franklin County


All through school he did real well
Got a good job in the sawmill, yeah
But he wanted more so he went away
As he stepped on board the 802
He could hear his daddy say

"Listen to the big bell a ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
And you're the pride of Franklin County
Don't you leave your natural home" Oh, yeah

A small town kid with the big city blues
A yearnin' heart and taped up shoes, yeah
He wanted more so he went astray
Took a gun and he stole a car and he was on his way

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high, high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
But the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own

Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah
He robbed a bank, oh, he didn't see the guard
The guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin'
People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say

"Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home"

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, yeah
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, finally comin' home

Rainbow Rider

Rainbow Rider


Out of the shoot he sits tall as the timber
One hand on the horse and one hand on the sky
Eight seconds later he lands in the money
And winning's a feeling that money can't buy
The kids love a hero and big silver buckles
The girls love the dream of a rodeo man
He loves the backroads and fields without fences
And I guess he loves me because I understand

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider

A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
Winter in Tucson and spring in Savanna
Reno in June then off to Cheyenne
He remembers the fall that he took last September
He's hopin' he draws that ol' burr again
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rode girl by his side

Lately he's talking about having a son
Someone who'll learn from the things that he's done
A young bronc bustin' a-buckaroo

A trailer behind an old white Eldorado
A red western sunset and a blue mountain range
Some things in this life he'd like to do over
But livin' with him is something I'd never change

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride
He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side

He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
