"Ladies Love Outlaws"

"Ladies Love Outlaws"



Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink
One day she saw him starin' and it chilled her to the bone
And she knew she had to see that look on a child of her own.

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Linda was a lady blonde and built to last
Benny was a no good guitar picker runnin' from his past
She heard all of his songs tellin' nothin' but bad news
But she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose.

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Jessi like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line.

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul...

"Lady In The Harbor"

"Lady In The Harbor"



The snow got much to deep for me in Denver
The rain fell way to hard out in LA
I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas
That's all it took for me to be on my way

Then a friend told me about the beaches down in Georgia
He said the weather's fine boy, the livin' sure fits your style
That's why I'm on this workgame in the hot sun.
Where the red necked judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial

But there's a lady on my mind in New York city
All alone she's burned her torch for me
She stands tall and proud in New York Harbor
And in time I know you'll see that I go free

The man told me I'd better change my way of livin'
He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you
Ain't got time for your kind here in this town
He just wouldn't believe that I was only passing through

Let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes
And he may be right some changes ought to be in me
But the same damn law that put me on this workgame
Give you and me the right to disagree

But there's a lady on my mind in New York city
All alone she's burned her torch for me
She stands tall and proud in New York Harbor
And in time I know you'll see that I go free

"Lay It Down"

"Lay It Down"



Travelin' down on different roads
Tryin' hard to leave the load
Take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down.

Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves disatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Tryin' hard to lay it down.

Lay it down brother, lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down.

Hide in me, confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me should lay it down.

Speak to me, be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just tryin' hard to lay it down.

Lay it down brother, lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down.

Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from myself made hell
Find a way to lay it down.

Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurtin' 'cause I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down.

Lay it down, lay it down
Wish that I could lay it down...

"Leave Them Boys Alone"
(performed with Hank Williams, Jr. and Ernest Tubb)

"Leave Them Boys Alone"
(performed with Hank Williams, Jr. and Ernest Tubb)



Now they say Hank Jr. has strayed away
From all them songs that put his daddy in an early grave
But his daddy would be proud if he could see Bocephus now
Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song?

Oh, Waylon has been known to play half time
He been known to get out of his mind
Don't know whether he's right or wrong
He's got a string of hits about two miles long
Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone let 'em sing their song
You know they're gonna do whatever they want.
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first stone?
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?

[Instrumental]

Hank Williams was the king of country soul
My dad took me to see him in Lubbock but he didn't show
Now the people got mad and they all went home
The first thing we did was put his records on.
I guess we should have left him alone and let him sing his songs.

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song
You know they're gonna do whatever they want.
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first stone?
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?...

"Leavin' Town"

"Leavin' Town"


There she goes again see her smiling
So happy with the new love that she's found
See her whisper in my ear
All those things I used to hear.

Oh, how that hurts me so I'm leavin' town
She's the reason why I'm leavin' town
I'm going far away where no one knows me
When morning comes well, I won't be around.

To see her whisper in his ear
Kiss and call him dear
Oh, I can't stand that so I'm leavin' town
Bet she's even glad I'm leavin' town.

[Instrumental]

I'm going far away where no one knows me
When morning comes well, I won't be around
To see her whisper in his ear
Kiss and call him dear.

Oh, I can't stand that so I'm leavin' town
Packin' up my hurt and leavin' town
Mhm, leavin' town
Bet she's even glad I'm leavin' town...

"Let Me Stay Awhile"

"Let Me Stay Awhile"



Can I stay with you awhile right awhile behind your smile
You don't have to say the things you used to say
Just let me sleep here for a time in the want of your loving mind
And tomorrow I'll be on my way.

Just hold me in the want of your gentle smile
Just tonight hon with you then I'll be going on my way
Just hide me till I have I have the strenght to go
For now all I want to know is morning by your side.

Let me stay with you awhile right awhile behind your smile
You don't have to say the things you used to say
Just let me sleep here for a time in the want of your loving mind
Awhile till I find the strenght to go. mhmm...

"Let Me Talk To You"

"Let Me Talk To You"



Just one more dance
Just one more chance
So I can talk to you
We've both have paid
Don't be afraid
Just let me try to prove
I would do anything
You want me to.

Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you
Don't go too far.
With that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win
Let's fall in love again
Give me your heart
And let me start
To build our life anew.

Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you
Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you...

"Let Me Tell You My Mind"

"Let Me Tell You My Mind"



Some quiet morning let me let me tell you my mind
Before the sun find you here beside me one more time
Let me tell you my mind
How I want you to stay and never think about goin' away
Oh oh, baby let me tell you my mind.
Oh oh, baby let me tell you my mind.

Crazy things keep a running through my head
Let me tell you my mind
When my shoes are under your bed one more time
Let me tell you my mind
Tell you of the thrills I find
They will keep running through my mind
Oh oh baby, let me tell you my mind.
Mhm oh oh baby, let me tell you my mind.

If my mind could write the words to say
Let me tell you my mind
I'd read them to you some better day one more time
Let me tell you my mind
If my story never ends and I never have you again
Oh oh baby, let me tell you my mind.
Oh oh baby, let me tell you my mind...

"Let's All Help The Cowboys (Sing The Blues)"

"Let's All Help The Cowboys (Sing The Blues)"



Cowboys, they are ladies men all right
They'll love 'em up and talk 'em up all night
But they're lonely when there's nothing else to do
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues.

He does a little Shakespeare and he sings
He plays the mandolin and other things
He looks for love beauty and IQ
And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues.

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues.

Cowboys they don't ever understand
This thing between a woman and a man
Until they find the one they always lose
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues.

A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand
And tries to make somebody understand
But she has ears to hear a different tune
And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues.

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues.

Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues...

"Let's Turn Back The Years"



Darling let's turn back my years and go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped and I didn't go away

We had our love to make us happy it wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die so darling let's turn back the years

We had our love...
Darling let's turn back my years...
Darling let's turn back my years...
