"Mona"

"Mona"

I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere.

I can give you all the love and tenderness
A broken heart can spare
But Mona take the love I give
Don't ask for love I gave away back there.

You could take the hand of any man
And show him how to dream
Why do you look back into my dark
And bitter past, can't you see?

Mona when you found me
All I had was sad and broken dreams
Mona please be satisfied walking
Through tomorrow here with me.

I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere...

"Money (That's What I Want)"

"Money (That's What I Want)"

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Well, now give me money, money
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
I want money
That's what I want

That's what I want
Now give me money, money
You need money, give me money
That's what I want

That's what I want
...

"Money Cannot Make The Man"

"Money Cannot Make The Man"

So long I've been trying to give you the things that you've wanted
But your thirst for riches is more than my pockets can stand
And I know that you're dreaming of things you could have with another
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You like to be seen in the richest and finest of places
You're always embarrassed by the callouses here on my hands
And I know that it's only a matter of time till you leave me
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

[Instrumental]

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

A man can make money but money cannot make the man...

"Must You Throw Dirt In My Face"

"Must You Throw Dirt In My Face"

What is it that brings you to this part of town
Curiosity, conscience or fate
I know it's not love for I once gave you love
And all you gave me was the gate.

I got a feeling you've come back to just rub it in
And it really put me in my place
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Why must you throw dirt in my face?

Must you keep telling me you've got a new love
I don't need you to remind me
Must you keep telling me I look so lonesome
And that my better days are behind me.

Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?

You've already left me and broken my heart
Told me how much you don't want me
Believe I'm happier when we're apart
Why must you come back now and haunt me?

Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?

You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?...

"My Ramona"

"My Ramona"

Everybody's talking bad about Ramona
They say she's changed a lot since I've been gone
They say she may not be too glad to see me
Cause Ramona doesn't know I'm coming home.

But everybody's wrong about Ramona
They're just going by the way she's actin' now
I just can't believe the things they say about her
'Cause Ramona knows the things I wanna allow.

Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore.

They say I may not recognize Ramona
And going by the picture they describe
The life they say she's living sure don't fit her
But I know she's still the same sweet girl inside.

Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore...

"Nashville Bum"

"Nashville Bum"

I've been chasin' the big wheels all over Nashville
Waitin' for my big break to come
Livin' on ketchup soup homemade crackers and coolaid
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

I love good and cowboy clothes and I sing through my nose
Webb said that's the way that getter done
I smoke good old PA like the Opry stars they say
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

[Instrumental]

Well, a friend of a friend of mine is a friend of art divider
And he finally got me on the Opry show
I'll walk up like a star tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Well now here's a song I wrote by myself note to note
With a lot of help it might make No 1
You can change a word or two and I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum...

"Nashville Rebel"

"Nashville Rebel"

They call me the Nashville Rebel
They say leave that boy alone
Don't you give him advice or he'll turn to ice
And you might as well talk to stone.

But I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way
I don't have time for your parties
My love's little guessin' games.

I've got songs to write in the still of night
I was born to write and sing
And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

[Instrumental]

They call me the Nashville Rebel
Little girl don't you waste your time
For I've given my heart to this old guitar
You deserve a better love than mine.

And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way
I'm the Nashville Rebel
I'm alone and I like it fine.

I'd like to have a wife and live a normal life
But I just don't have the time
'Cause I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

I've got things to do and things to say
In my own way...

"Nashville Women"

"Nashville Women"

If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
You know the Nashville women might as well stay home, yeah.

If the blues was booze I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was booze you know I'd stay drunk all the time
Hangin' round bars and takin' you off of my mind.

Going down the alley to see what I can find
Goin' down the Printer's Alley
Gonna look around and see what I can find
Let some Nashville woman
Take me home and blow my mind.

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk.

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk...

"Never Been To Spain"

"Never Been To Spain"

Well, I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.
They don't abuse it,
Can't refuse it,
Never gonna lose it.

Well, I've never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
I was headed for Las Vegas
I only made it out to Needles.
But can't you feel it,
You must believe it
'Cause it feels so good.

Well, I've never been to heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
People tell me I was born there
Lord, I really don't remember.
In Oklahoma or Arizona
What does it matter.

Well, I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.
They don't abuse it,
Can't refuse it,
Never gonna lose it...

"Never Could Toe The Mark"

"Never Could Toe The Mark"

I've always loved the ladies,
Ladies love the games
Seems the things they want the most is
They always want to change.

The only thing that changes
Is my mind
I never could toe the mark
And I never could walk the line.

Some things don't come easy
Others should be free
I'd gladly give my heart to you
But the rest belongs to me.

I don't mean to be
A waste of time
I never could toe the mark
And I never could walk the line.

I like Southern Comfort
It does a thing on me
Takes me home to a gentle touch
And wants what's left to me.

She's got her own space
And I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line.

She's got her own space
And I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line...
