"Rhiannon"

"Rhiannon"

Rhiannon rings like a bell throu the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

She rings like a bell throu the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

Oooooh

Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky

Dreams unwind
Loves a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Loves a state of mind

"Ride Me Down Easy"

"Ride Me Down Easy"

This highway she's harder than nine kinds of hell
Light there it scares as the rain
When you're down to your last shop with nothing to sell
And too far away from the train.

It's been a good month of Sundays and a guitar to go
Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a lot of good friends some sheeps in the wind
And satisfied women behind.

Ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy, come easy go
And easy to love when I stay.

Put snow on the mountain, raise hell on the hill
Lock horns with the devil himself
Then the rodeo bum, a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown.

Ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy, come easy go
And easy to love when I stay.

Ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy, come easy go
And easy to love when I stay...

"Right Before My Eyes"

"Right Before My Eyes"

You do the things that hurt me
So right before my eyes
Just because I love you so
I overlook your lies.

Let you make a fool of me
Yes, that's what I'll always be
'Cause I pretend not to see
What's right before my eyes.

Everyone keeps telling me
What's right before my eyes
Love is blind and I can't see
What's right before my eyes.

[Instrumental]

I can't make myself believe
What's right before my eyes
I thought your love belonged to me
But now I realize.

You couldn't care and act this way
There's nothing I can do or say
Just watch my dream will fade away
Right before my eyes.

Everyone keeps telling me
What's right before my eyes
Love is blind and I can't see
What's right before my eyes...

"Right For The Time"

"Right For The Time"

Almost out of adolescence and into a world we didn't know
Not necessaryly love but in trouble with a fire down below
Looking back for a feeling it's just something far away and long ago
I can still recall the name but she's really someone I don't even know

But she was right for the time
She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on

I do recall a gypsy lady and a younger man in over his head
I was her believer taken in by every loving word she said
It was there for the first time the sweet and the bitter taste of love
When you're young and alive too much never seems to be enough

It seems the young and the innocent are drawn like a moth to a flame
To the wild and the reckless believing they are one in the same
She never found a way to separate the good from the bad
And she never understood that love was all we ever really had

She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on
With her eyes on tomorrow one day she turned around and I was gone
I'd have to say in a way she just might be better off alone
She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on

"Rings Of Gold"

"Rings Of Gold"

I remember when you said
With this ring I Thee wed
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns these rings of gold to rust.

Love before was clean and pure
Never more can I be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Plans we made just yesterday
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Rings of gold have turned to rust...

"River Boy"

"River Boy"

I was born and raised on the river
It's the only life that I know
People 'round here have put a name on me
And I hear it wherever I go
They call me river boy, river boy
Good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
To make my livin' you see
When I take my catch to the market place
The people call out to me
And they say, river boy, hey river boy
You got any fish today there, river boy
I sell my ware, but nobody cares
About the feelin's of the river boy
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
I see her there everyday
But when I try to talk to her
I can hear her papa say
Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy
Nothin' but riff-raff, them river boys
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
On a good for nothin' river boy
So I head my boat back up the river
Back to my old fishin' place
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow
From the tears a-fallin' down my face
I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
River boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
River boy [fade]

"Rock, Salt And Nails"

"Rock, Salt And Nails"

By the banks of the river where the willows grow cold
Wild birds warble the strange soundin' song
By the banks of the river where the waters run cold
Well that's where I first listened the lies that she told.

He lays there each night all alone and he weeps
Nothing ain't worse than a night without sleep
The letters she wrote him they were written in vain
But I know that her conscience still echoes my name.

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were fishes
I'd lay there for hours in the cold rainy matches
If the ladies were squirrels yeah with a big bushy tail
I'd fill up my shotgun with a rock salt and nails.

We'd fill up our shotgun with a rock salt and nails...

"Rocks From Rolling Stones"

"Rocks From Rolling Stones"

There's a road runs clear to the sky
Calls to my spirit calls to my heart
She's been a harbor a port in a storm
She's got one more sundown and one more dawn

Fiddles don't make violins
Motel rooms don't make homes
You can't turn water into wine
You can't make a rock from a rolling stone

You'd be a liar if you said you'd changed
There's a river of freedom running through your veins
But she'll be there in your heart and your mind
Till the last song fades and the music dies

Fiddles don't make violins...
You can't make a rock from a rolling stone

"Rose In Paradise"

"Rose In Paradise"

She was a flower for the takin',
Her beauty cut just like a knife...
He was a banker from Macon,
Swore he'd love her all his life...

Bought her a mansion on a mountain
With a formal garden and a lot a land...

But paradise became her prison,
That Georgia banker was a jealous man!

Every time he'd talk about her,
You could see the fire in his eyes...
He'd say,
"I would walk through Hell on Sunday,
To keep my Rose in Paradise..."

He hired a man to tend the garden,
Keep an eye on her while he was gone..
Some say they ran away together...
Some say that gardner left alone...

Now the banker is an old man...
That mansion's cum-ble-ing down...
He sits all day and stares at the garden...
Not a trace of her was ever found...

Every time he talks about her,
You can see the fire in his eyes...
He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday,
To keep my Rose in Paradise.."

Now there's a rose out in the garden...
Its beauty cuts just like a knife...
They say that it even grows in the winter time...
And blooms in the dead of the night...

"Rough And Rowdy Days"

"Rough And Rowdy Days"

You keep barrelin' on and you don't look back
your mind is gone
and you're losing track of who you want to be
and you think you're free [x2 fading out at end]

when you still want more and you've done it all
you're kickin' doors and climbin' walls
you've gone far enough
you need to straighten up [x3 fading out at end]

[Chorus:]
Girl you came along and just in time
to show me the way
while I was wadin' through
my rough and rowdy days [x1 rough and rowdy days]

How can you know what life's about
when upside down is inside out
you know you need some help
you can't help yourself [x2 fading out at end]

[Chorus x2]
