"It's Not Supposed To Be That Way"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

"It's Not Supposed To Be That Way"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you.

And like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you.

It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you.

When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
Play with real fire till the dawn.

It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you...

"It's Only Rock And Roll"

"It's Only Rock And Roll"

Well, it's only rock and rollkeep you running from yourself
When the only way to slow down is to fall
It's only rock and roll that caused you to leave home
When the only way to get back is to crawl.

But the record people love you they can get you on the bill
Change your name to money dress up fit to kill
People all around you everywhere you go
Don't worry they love you son, it's only rock and roll.

Well, it's only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time
When you really ought to sit this one out
And it's only rock and roll keep on messin' with your mind
When you don't know what they're talkin' about.
All around the world everywhere you go
People got to have it, it's only rock and roll.

Only rock and roll only rock and roll
People all around everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll.

[Instrumental]

Well, it's only rock and roll when your money's in the mail
And your love is on the back of the bus
And it's only rock and roll when your records start to sell
And you don't know why they're making such a fuss.

Telephone receiver ringing off the wall
Can I get a witness each and every call
Second that emotion chased into your soul
Don't worry lest you linger son, it's only rock and roll.

Only rock and roll only rock and roll
People all around everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll.

Only rock and roll only rock and roll
People all around everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll...

"It's So Easy"

"It's So Easy"

It's so easy to fall in love.
It's so easy to fall in love.

People tell me love's for fools
So here I go breaking all of the rules
Well it's so easy, so dog-on easy
Well it's so easy
Where you're concerned my heart's concerned.

It's so easy to fall in love.
It's so easy to fall in love.

It's so easy to fall in love.
It's so easy to fall in love.

Look into your heart to see
What your love book has set apart for me
Well it's so easy, so dog-on easy
Well it's so easy
Where you're concerned my heart's concerned.

It's so easy to fall in love.
It's so easy to fall in love...

"It's The World's Gone Crazy (Cotillion)"

"It's The World's Gone Crazy (Cotillion)"

It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front men all want to go home
The johnny-come-lately's are comin' in early
The early bird's showin' up late
The straight men all want to be funny
And the funny men all want to get straight
Villians have turned into heroes
Heroes have turned into heels
The dealers all want to be lovers
And the lovers all want to make deals
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front men all want to go home
The meek they ain't inheirited nothin'
The leaders are fallin' behind
So I'm singin' my song to the deaf man
And dancin' my dance to the blind
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front men all want to go home
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front men all want to go home

"Ivory Tower"

"Ivory Tower"

I've been a believer in many things
I've past a sign post or two
I never could see why the bad folks don't change
Or why the good ones want to.

Everyone's left us alone
to our ways thinking we might have been right
But I'm not so fond of this being alone
especially this time of night..

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind.

I've tried to look to myself for my strength
Look to a song for release
Kept all the people I could at arms lenght
The ones that I never could please.

I've been refining the way that I feel
Towards all the ones who are near
I've been refining the way that I look
For all the women for years.

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind.

[Instrumental]

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind...

"Jack-A-Diamonds"

"Jack-A-Diamonds"

Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, take my money
You can have my life of luxury
You can have my precious silver, studded saddle, ohh
But you can not take my soul, can not take my soul today

Sweet mamma, oh sweet mamma, won't you say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Please tell me I'm not really falling to pieces
Keep me tender mamma, tender now, keep me warm

Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, I still got my ace
If you want me to do it I can through it, right in your face
Go and take my precious silver, studded saddle, yeah
But you can not take my soul Lord, you can not take my soul today
Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, I'm gonna be alright

"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"

Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou

And I'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap my mon, to buy Yvonne what she need-oh

"John's Back In Town"

"John's Back In Town"

John does some singin' they call him a star
He plays with a hillbilly band
He goes lots of places picks his guitar
Old John ain't a home lovin' man.

John's got a woman he calls her his queen
He buys her them city made clothes
And she's 'bout the sweetest that I've ever seen
There is someting that John never knows.

When John is out croonin' I'm out with his queen
Passin' his money around
But if you look for me and I can't be se
You'll know that John's back in town.

[Instrumental]

When John's out a tourin' I wear his best suits
Smoke up his old big cigars
I lie with his woman, wear out his boots
Shauffer his limousine cars.

When John's making money he keeps on the go
So if you should hear he's around
Buy one of his records or go see his show
Help me keep old John out of town.

When John is out croonin' I'm out with his queen
Passin' his money around
But if you look for me and I can't be seen
You can figure that John's back in town...

"Julie"

"Julie"

When I married Julie
She was just seventeen
Pretty as the answer
To any man's dream.

[Instrumental]

From the start I gave Julie
All the love that I've had
Though everyone told me
That Julie was bad.

Julie liked parties
And clothes that fit tight
Drinking and dancin'
Around late at night.

She was everything evil
With the face of a child
But I sat home and waited
While my Julie went wild.

I had built me an empire
With my own two hands
With the money and power
To break any man.

But with all my possessions,
Power and gold
Julie was one thing
I couldn't control.

I gave Julie
All my money could buy
Begged her to love me
But she wouldn't try.

She'd only laugh
Then walk out the door
Each time she'd hurt me
Made me love her more.

[Instrumental]

Now I'm locked in this room
They say I'm insane
And I guess that I'll never
See my Julie again.

I'm a man with a heart
And a tormented soul
And the mind that Julie
Drove out of control...
