I Still Sing The Old Songs

I Still Sing The Old Songs


Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again

Daddy wore his purple heart so proudly
Long before he turned into a man
Buried with our flag across his casket
I was still too young to understand

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again

Mama spent her last years in the garden
While brother took his turn behind a gun
Lord, I'd give my life to find the freedom lost
Within the old songs that you sung

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again

I Wont Take Less Then Your Love

I Wont Take Less Then Your Love


How much do I owe you said the husband to the wife,
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life,
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I bring you furs,
Say the word and it's yours, and the wife said,

(chorus)

I won't take less than your love, sweet love,
I won't take less than your love,
All the riches of the world could never be enough,
And I won't take less than your love,

How much do I owe you to the mother said the son
For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed
And a pillow for to rest your weary head (and the mother said)

(Chorus)

I won't take less than your love, sweet love
I won't take less than your love,
All the comforts of the world could never be enough,
And I won't take less than your love,

How much do I owe you said the man to his Lord,
For giving me this day and every day that's gone before,
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice,
Tell me Lord and I will pay the price, and the Lord said,

(chorus)

I won't take less than your love, sweet love,
I won't take less than your love,
All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
And I won't take less than your love,

I'll Come Back As Another Woman

I'll Come Back As Another Woman


You never gave me back the love I gave to you
You just gave me half your heart and that half was untrue
So I'll leave you with a promise, from a heart that's heard enough
Someday you'll find out that you can't escape my love

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart

Some day you'll wake up with your arms around a dream
The love that she will make to you will be too good to believe
You'll say, "I love you", and for once it will be true
You'll fall too fast to realize who you're talking to

You'll give your heart and soul, she'll be the only one
You'll be hers completely, there'll be no way you can run
Then with a smile she'll break your loving heart in two
Baby, you'll recall the one who said these words to you

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
And I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart

You'll hear the echo of my promise, ha, ha, ha
How you laughed and how I cried
The one you finally give your heart to, ha, ha, ha
Will leave you crying in the night

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart

I'll come back, I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
You got a devil heart
(I'll come back another woman)
I'll come back another woman, woman, woman
I'll come back

I'll Take The Memories

I'll Take The Memories


There's a van out in the drive
It's time to divide everything up
We've taken down the bed
Where so many nights we made love

We've gone through everything
And given back the rings
We once cherished
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
Well, I know we've had some bad times
But our good times were the best

There's, oh, so many keepsakes
After all that we've been through
But I'll take the memories
If I can't have you

I don't know just what I'll do
I've been so used to loving you
Such a long time and even though I'll try
There's no way that I'll get you off my mind

So while we're packing up our lives
And saying our goodbyes, I won't tell you
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
I know we had some bad times
But our good times were the best

There's so many keepsakes
After all that we've been through
Yes, I'll take the memories
If I can't have you

I'm In Love And He's In Dallas

I'm In Love And He's In Dallas


Mama said,
"Tell me what's wrong child,
You didn't eat enough
To keep a bird alive,
And you haven't said
Two words to me all evening."

She said,
"Girl, you've got your long face on,
Your eyes are red,
And your smile is gone."
So I broke down,
And I told my mama the reason.

I'm in love and he's in Dallas.
I'm as blue as a girl can be.
Is he down there thinkin' about my love,
Or driftin' away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's s'pposed to be.
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennesee?

I really shoulda heard
From him by now,
He promised he'd write
When things settled down.
And send me money
For a ticket when things got better.

And mama I guess
He's just workin' hard
And you know how
Those cowboys are.
But it's been three weeks
And I ain't got a letter.

I'm in love and he's in Dallas,
I'm as blue as a girl can be.
Is he down there thinkin' about my love,
Or driftin' away from me?
And I'm in love and he's in Dallas,
And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be.
Can a promise reach from Texas,
All the way to Tennesee?

Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas,
I'm as blue as a girl can be.
Can a promise reach from Texas,
All the way to Tennesee?

I'm Not Lisa

I'm Not Lisa


I'm not Lisa, my name is Tanya
Lisa left you year's ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Til the sun light has
touched your face

She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each risin' sun

And then one winter day
His hand lead her's away
She left you here
Drownin' in your tears here

Where you stayed for years, crying Lisa

Lisa

I'm not Lisa
My name is Tanya
Lisa left you, years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Til the sun light
Shines through your face

I'm not Lisa, my name is Tanya

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry


Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've Got Somebody

I've Got Somebody


Everybody take a big long listen I've got somebody to love

Everybody take a big long listen cause I've got somebody to love

I used to worry bout tomorrow but tomorrow never came

Somebody with a crystal ball said you'll never be happy at all

Well that's one point for me and none for the ball

I've got somebody to love I've got somebody to take care of

I've got somebody to love

Everybody take a big long listen I've got somebody to love

[ guitar ]

I used to comb my hair for hours tryin' to make it look just right

I used to make fancy plans just to find someone and have a one night stand

Well that's all over now and here's the reason why

I've got somebody to love...

I've got somebody to love...

I've got somebody to love...

I've Learned To Live

I've Learned To Live


Like a child lost in the wilderness
I knew not where to go
Surrounded by the emptiness
Of a love that left me cold
I stumbled through that darkness
Of nights that have no stars

And days that have no sunshine
To warm my naked heart
Like a bird in flight brought down by stones
From an unknown assailant's sling
A stranger took you from my arms
And I lost everything, In days to come I nearly ran

Out of ways to stay alive
But through it all I never lost
The will to survive
(And)

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you

Like a thief who takes just what he needs
And leaves the rest behind
You took the heart right out of me
And left me with my mind

And I've almost went out of it
At times believed I did
But gradually I learned you're someone
I'll have to live with
('Cause)

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you

I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you

If It Don't Come Easy

If It Don't Come Easy


I know a man
A good friend of mine
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right
But the woman he loves
She don't feel the same no
I don't know much about love
But at least I learned one thing

If it don't come easy, you better let it go
Cuz when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart
You might be better off alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it go (yeah)

I know a woman
She's got a heart of gold
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home
But the man she loves he's a restless kind of guy
I wish there was a way I could make her realize

If it don't come easy, you better let it go
Cuz when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart
When you might be better off alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it go

(Instrumental Break)

Let it go
Though it's hard I know
Turn it loose
I tell you it's no use

If it don't come easy, you better let it go
Cuz when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart
When you might be better off alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it
You better let it go

If it don't come easy, you better let it go yeah
Cuz when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow

If it don't come easy, oh you've gotta let it go
Cuz when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
