Rainy Girl

Rainy Girl


Maybe you wish I was someone else
I've tried so hard to be myself
But I can see you need a change
Some folks get tired of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain

One sunny day you'll change your mind
And look for clouds but you find
Your rainy girl won't rain no more
Some folks get tired of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain

Hope you find those sunny days
As bright as you thought they would be
Remember who wanted what a change
It was you babe, not me

My love will last forever more
Just like the rain my love will pour
And when you go I'll love again
Some folks don't tire of the rain
Some folks don't tire of the rain
Some folks get tired of the rain

Ramblin' Fever

Ramblin' Fever


My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
And I don't leave the highway long enough
To bog down in the mud 'cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood

Well, I caught this ramblin' fever long ago
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow
If someone said I ever gave a damn, well they damn sure told you wrong
'Cause I've had ramblin' fever all along

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease

There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa
Let some good looking man rub my back
Spend the early morning drinking coffee
Talkin' about when I'll be coming back

'Cause I don't let no man tie me down
And I'll never get too old to get around
I'm gonna die along the highway and rot away like some old high line pole
Finally rest this ramblin' fever in my soul

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Oh, ramblin' fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
Well, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease

Ridin' Out The Heartache

Ridin' Out The Heartache


Sixty-six Chevrolet
Windshield full of rain
Four wheels that I can trust
To take me outta here

Truck stop in Buffalo
Fueled up and food to go
One lonely trucker
Said he had to bend my ear

Hey there, where you headed?
I told him, I don't really know

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day
I'm ridin' out the heartache

No need to read the signs
Not keepin' track of time
Maybe a new direction's
Gonna change my luck

Turned around and heard south
Feel a little better now
Seems like those old gray clouds
They may be breakin' up

He was my only reason
The one thing keepin' me around

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day
I'm ridin' out the heartache

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache
Until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache
Until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache, ridin' on

Ridin' Rainbows

Ridin' Rainbows


I never thought the time would come,
When I would want to have someone
To take your place, and love me while your gone.
I promised I would stay with you,
And that's just what I want to do,
But a woman can't spend this much time alone.

There'll always be just one more hill,
You'll have to climb, I know you will.
And I would never try, to change your way.
But just this once, lets think of me,
Now try to listen closely,
There's something on my mind of got to say.

While you're out there riding rainbows,
I get awful lonely on the ground.
So I was thinking, maybe,
We could have a little baby,
That I could love, when you're not around,
Not around.

Sometimes my hearts an empty place,
And I need love to fill that space.
Those lonely nights, a smile could get me through.
Each time I'd see that silly grin
And smaller image of your chin,
I'd be content to hold a part of you.

While you're out there riding rainbows,
I get awful lonely on the ground.
So I was thinking, maybe,
We could have a little baby,
That I could love, when you're not around,
Not around.

Right About Now

Right About Now


Right about now you'd be saying sweet nothings
And I'd be hanging on your every word
My lips would be wet with your kisses
And we'd be lost in our own little world

Right about now, I'd be feeling your heartbeat
And your fingers touching my skin
What I wouldn't give to be back in your arms somehow
Right about now

Right about now, you'd promise forever
And swear I hadn't felt nothing yet
Then you'd pull me a little bit closer
And I'd play just hard enough to get

Right about now, we'd be under the covers
Making love that knew no shame
What I wouldn't do to be with you somehow
Right about now

Baby

Now, the clock on the wall keeps ticking
But time's sure been passing slow
And it's myself that I've been kicking
For ever letting you go

But darling, you know where to find me
Should you have a change of heart
I sure could use a little of you no doubt
Right about now

I sure could use you, baby, right about now
Since you've been gone there's nothing, right about now
I sure do need your touching, right about now
Right about now

Rodeo Girls Don't Cry

Rodeo Girls Don't Cry


Get your horse waylem

on the side of the highway
trying to sleep
dreaming of a new love
she knows she can't keep
hes back down the road
3 or 4 rodeos
might have been her dream cowboy
but she'll never know

riding like the wind
feeling so alive
the wind in her hair
and the dust in her eyes
spotlights are turning
night into day
and just for a little while
the pain goes away

cowboys tell them they love them
but their gone by the dawns early light

they come and they go
but the pain never shows
cause rodeo girls don't cry
awwww

she's giving it up
and gone home before
but it felt like a part of her died
no one could know
but the lord up above
rodeo girls don't cry

cowboys tell them they love them
but their gone by the dawns early light
they come and they go
but the pain never shows
cause rodeo girls don't cry
rodeo girls don't cry
i thought everybody knew
rodeo girls don't cry

Romeo

Romeo


A cross between a movie star
And a hero in a book
Romeo comes struttin' in
And everybody looks
'Cause he's just got that special thang
That everybody needs
And everybody wants him
But not as bad as me

Hey, Romeo, where art thou
Get out here on the floor
I want to dance you darlin'
'Til you forget wherefore
Let's two step to a new step
We'll keep it all in line
And we'll call this the Romeo
'Cause you're so mighty fine

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo come dance with me

That sexy little body
Beats all I've ever seen
I ain't never seen a cowboy
Look that good in jeans
My temperature keeps risin'
Every time we meet
I may not be in love
But let me tell you
I'm in heat

Romeo, Romeo, I just know I'll get you yet
Romeo, Romeo, I want to be your Juliet

So step it high, step it low
Step it out and in
Step to the side and let it slide
Then steppin' up again
Step on toes, it all goes
Steppin' as you please
But I'm one step away from love
So don't step out on me

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo with the magic feet

So step it high, step it low
Step it out and in
Step to the side and let it slide
Then steppin' up again
Step on toes, it all goes
Steppin' as you please
But I'm one step away from love
So don't step out on me

Romeo, Romeo
I just know I'll get you yet
Romeo, Romeo
Won't you be my Juliet
Romeo, Romeo
Romeo, Romeo
(Fade & Repeat)

San Antonio Stroll

San Antonio Stroll


When I was a child down in South Carolin'
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin' to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a'singin' the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They'd be hummin' a song,
Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl.
Like the San Antonio Stroll.

Well the day finally come
When my momma said hun
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll.

I've been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.

Save Me

Save Me


I'm not very big and I'm not very strong
I never have hurt you or done you wrong
I'm just a newborn baby and I'm startin' to grow
Trying to survive in my home in the snow save me

Mama she can only give me her love
There's a man over me and he's holding a club
They say that my fur begins a high price
For the boots that they line I must give up my life so save me

Save me save me save me save me

Please be my friend and lend me your hand
I'm close to the end you've got to understand
This thing that they're doin' you know that it's wrong
If you don't stop them soon then some day I'll be gone

Save me won't you save me help me now save me you've got to save me
I'm pleadin' to you save me oh won't you save me
Don't take me away save me save me

Silence Is King

Silence Is King


She tests every word like a fine wine
She holds every thought like her last dime
You can hear a pin drop from miles away
You can hear a heart stop as plain as day

We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here

Where are the dreams, we were after
Where is the joy and the laughter
Were they only habits we were doomed to lose
Or is destiny not ours to choose

We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here

Desperate measures come from desperate times
I don't regret what I have done
If my actions made you speak your mind
Angry words are better than none

We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here
