"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"

"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"



Lord it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It's been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we're all sure that you will
But I don't think Hank done it this way, no
I don't think Hank done it this way, okay

Ten years on the road, making one night stand
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I'll understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way?
Did old Hank really do it this way?

Lord I've seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs, one of his now and then
But I don't think Hank done 'em this way, no
I don't think Hank done 'em this way, take it home

"Armed And Dangerous"

"Armed And Dangerous"



Ran my Chevy through the car wash
Threw the beers cans out
Emptied all the ash trays
Cleaned a little house
Got my Allman Brothers cassettes
Stacked up on the dash
Got some jack back in the trunk
And a tank full of gas

Stopped and bought some roses
To sweep you off your feet
Yes I'm going for the limit, girl
I'm gettin' in the real deep
Dusted off my Dingos
Got my Levis pressed
Gonna break into your heart
And steal what I love best

Yes I'm armed and dangerous
Woman you've made me a desperate man
Armed and dangerous
Comin' for your lovin' yes I am

Take a ride out in the country
Where the grass is tall and cool
And do some barefoot dancin'
How's that sound to you
And I've got some other things
That I might suggest
But if I put them on this record
I'd be under arrest

Yes I'm armed and dangerous
Woman you've made me a desperate man
Armed and dangerous
Comin' for your lovin' yes I am

Yes I'm armed and dangerous
Woman you've made me a desperate man
Armed and dangerous
Comin' for your lovin' yes I am

"As The Billy World Turns"

"As The Billy World Turns"



You get a pen and I'll get a paper
We're gonna write ourselves a song
We'll drive the poetics crazy
I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme.

I got a friend and I think he's goofy
I guess he thinks the same about me
Guess it really takes one to know one
And you look like an old friend of mine.

Out all night and acting crazy
I've been up for two whole days
Turn me over and roll me over
Wind me up for one more rhyme.

Well, he called me friend and he called me brother
I called him back but he was gone
He took my songs and he took my money
But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool
Of a fool, of a fool.

You get a pen and I'll get a paper
We're gonna write ourselves a song
We'll drive the poetics crazy
I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme...

"Baby, Don't Be Looking In My Mind"

"Baby, Don't Be Looking In My Mind"


Baby don't be looking in my mind
You might not like what you find
For honey, I know you better than you think
I do so baby, don't be looking in my mind.

Don't expect sweet I-love-you's on and on
If I didn't love you I'd be gone
Don't change the way I live just take what I can give
And baby, don't be looking in my mind.

Don't expect my every thought to be of you
For I'm a man and men have things to do
I'm proud to be your man and I love you all I can
But baby, don't be looking in my mind.

[Instrumental]

Don't expect my every thought to be of you
For I'm a man and men have things to do
I'm proud to be your man and I love you all I can
But baby, don't be looking in my mind.

Baby, don't be looking in my mind...

"Baker Street"

"Baker Street"



Winding your way down on Baker Street
Lite in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day you drink the night away
And forget about everything.

These city streets make you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.

Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
You're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
One more year and then you'd be happy
You're cryin', you're cryin' now.

Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything.

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
And forget about everything.

But you know he'll always keep moving
Know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
You're goin' you're goin' home...

"Be Careful Of The Stones That You Throw"

"Be Careful Of The Stones That You Throw"


[Chorus:]
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust, it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw.

A neighbor was passing my garden one time
She stopped and I knew right away
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind
And this is what I heard my neighbor say:

"that girl down the street should be run from our midst
She drinks and she talks quite a lot
She knows not to speak to my child or to me."
My neighbor then smiled and I thought:

[Chorus]

A car speeded by and the screamin' of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl lying still.

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out
"oh! who was that brave girl so sweet? "
I covered the crushed, broken body and said
"the bad girl who lived down the street."

[Chorus]

"Be Mine"

"Be Mine"



When the green, green spring
Is waiting for the sun to shine
It knows the sun will shine
In time... in time
How long until the dawn?
Is there any sign?
How long until your love will be mine?

The sweetest dream
I ever dreamed in all my life
Was one of having you
In time... in time
Are you ever gonna wake up
From the sleep you sleep?
How long until your love will be mine?

Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?

I've heard it said
That a thousand years is like a day
Just a twinkle of an eye
In time... in time
Just a moment full of grace
My whole life would be
If you would say your love could be mine

Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?

Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?

"Beautiful Anabel Lee"

"Beautiful Anabel Lee"


I was a child and she was a child
Yet our love was something to see
My parents were poor I was turned from the door
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.

Now the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.

[Instrumental]

But not even the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can't keep me away from my meeting someday
With my beautiful Anabel Lee.

And the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.

My beautiful Anabel Lee...

"Belle Of The Ball"

"Belle Of The Ball"


A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs
Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong
I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball
Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all

[Chorus:]
I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults
The good and the bad I want to remember it all
I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz
The party's all over I came uninvited
I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball

There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be
I guess i should know that someone used to be me
They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same
At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names

[Chorus]

"Best Friends Of Mine"

"Best Friends Of Mine"


I guess Phoenix hard times and hard work helped shape the mold
We pushed an old Chrystler a hell of a lot further than we rode
I remember when our biggest dream
Was breakin' the bank on some pinball machine
Well ol' Jim hit the jackpot in Idaho Falls, Idaho
After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

In Missoula Montana out under that unending sky
There in a valley it would make any southern boy smile
With the stars and the bars and a breeze
Hank and his lady are takin' it easy
Deep in the west you might say colonial style
After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

He was a legend, I was a redneck and green
The first to believe, he took me under his wing
Now the edges are still pretty rough
But when I'm loggin' that guitar and struttin' my stuff
Old Buddy, old friend, you were the start of the dream
And after all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

[BRIDGE:]
All laughin' and jokin' aside
I can honestly say and say it with pride
Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine
I must have done somethin' all right
Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine
I must have done somethin' all right
