"Storms Never Last"

"Storms Never Last"

Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine.

You followed me down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road we took God knows
Our search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last.

Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine.

Storms never last do they Jessi
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine...

"Straighten My Mind"

"Straighten My Mind"

A tiger always walks at night
And marks his prey while everything's still
He waits until it's unaware
And then he strikes and makes his kill.

That's the way you've done me girl
You never let me be
Couldn't feel the way I felt
So you'd tried to punish me.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind.

A spider's always busy spinning webs
That no one can get through
Somehow that spider always has
Reminded me babe of you.

You took the love I gave you
But you'll never let it live
That's the hang of girl
You know how to take but not to give.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind.

[Instrumental]

You've kept me like a river
Always clinging to the ground
I've got to get away from you
Before I sink and drown.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind...

"Such A Waste Of Love"

"Such A Waste Of Love"

Oh, such a waste of love
True love and devotion
Oh, such a waste of love
On a heart so cold with no emotion.

I might as well just wrap it up
And wash it down the drain
'Cause the little happiness I knew
Just wasn't worth the pain.

You build me up
And for a little while you let me live
But love is the only thing
I find you never learned to give.

Oh, such a waste of love
True love and devotion
Oh, such a waste of love
On a heart so cold with no emotion.

Oh, such a waste of love
True love and devotion
Oh, such a waste of love
On a heart so cold with no emotion...

"Suddenly Single"

"Suddenly Single"

This place is too damn lonesome I think I'll change and go out for a while
On second thought where could I go with a closet full of clothes that's out of style
It's another night of TV or another night of nothin' on my hands
I gotta change my way of thinkin' 'cause I'm still thinkin' like a married man

Suddenly single
It's hard to break old habits for the bad
If I wasn't over thirty
I might just move back in with mom and dad

I should call on some old flame, oh that ain't as easy as it sounds
My body says I need someone but I heart ain't ready for someone right now
Maybe in the mornin' I'll wake up and see the light
Small consolation Lord for the way I feel tonight

Suddenly single
It's hard to break old habits for the bad
If I wasn't over thirty
I might just move back in with mom and dad

Suddenly single
Someone's always right when someone's wrong
Anyway you look at it
I'm suddenly alone

"Sunday Morning Coming Down"

"Sunday Morning Coming Down"

Well, I woke up Sunday mornin' with no way
To hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for desert.

Then I fumbled through my closet to my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
Stumbled down the stair to meet the day.

Well, I'd smoke my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid
Cussing the can that he was kicking.

Then I crossed the empty street and caught
The Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way.

On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone.

And there's nothing sure to dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

In the park I saw a daddy
With the laughin' little girl that he was swinging
Then I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the songs they were singing.

I headed back for home and somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone...

"Sunset And Wine"

"Sunset And Wine"

I left the old farm down in Texas
And bummed all around for a time
Then one day I found myself staring
At a sign that read Sunset and Wine.

The big cars and the beautiful women
Put beautiful thoughts in my mind
I decided to be a great actor
On the corner of Sunset and Wine.

Then a man with a cigar approached me
And he put his face right to mine
And declared a great star hit this cover
On the corner of Sunset and Wine.

[Instrumental]

Well, I thought he was right for a while
For the band seemed to thrill with each line
And they put my name in the sidewalk
Near the corner of Sunset and Wine.

Now six wives and six divorces later
I'm down to one very thin dime
And I wish I was back home in Texas
And I'd never seen Sunset and Wine.

[Instrumental]

I wish I'd never seen Sunset and Wine...

"Sure Didn't Take Him Long"

"Sure Didn't Take Him Long"

My long and lean and hungry looks
Really used to turn her on
Till she found two hundred pounds
Or true love muscle and bone.

I made up my mind to keep what was mine
He made up mind I was wrong
To take my Ann took a hell of a man
But it sure didn't take him too long.

It sure didn't take him long
Changing her mind
Sure didn't take her long
To leave me behind.

She had breakfast with me met him at three
By suppertime she was gone
To take my Ann took a hell of a man
But it sure didn't take him too long.

Now Ann never was a righteous girl
But you really couldn't call her bad
I'd have to say as long as she stayed
Lord, she gave it all that she had.

One look at them, two looks at him
I knew I'd be a living alone
To take my Ann took a hell of a man
But it sure didn't take him too long.

It sure didn't take him long
Changing her mind
Sure didn't take her long
To leave me behind...

"Sweet Caroline"
(originally by Neil Diamond)

"Sweet Caroline"
(originally by Neil Diamond)

Where it began I can't begin knowin' but I know it's growin' strong
First was the spring and spring became the summer who'd believe you'd come along
Hands touching hands reaching out touching me touching you
Sweet Caroline good times never seemed so good
I'm inclined to believe they never would

Look at the night doesn't seem so lonely fill it up with only two
And when I hurt it runs off my shoulder how can I hurt when I'm holdin' you
Warm touching warm reaching out touching me touching you
Oh sweet Caroline...
Sweet Caroline...
Oh sweet Caroline good times never seemed so good

"Sweet Dream Woman"

"Sweet Dream Woman"

She's the womb that you left and she's the pride that you kept
She's the innocence that you left back in your youth
She's the poems that you read she's the mouth that you feed
And she's the holy and she's truth.

Sweet dream woman of the night
Come and love me in the night
Sweet dream woman come and be
A woman to me.

She's the mother of youth she is sweet baby blue
And she's a love that you once knew but you couldn't hold
She is bad luck and good and she's all that she should be
And I see her reasons all unfold.

Sweet dream woman of the night
Come and love me in the night
Sweet dream woman come and be
A woman to me.

[Instrumental]

Sweet dream woman
of the night
Come and love me in the night
Sweet dream woman come and be
A woman to me.

Sweet dream woman come and be
A woman to me...

"Sweet Music Man"
(originally by Kenny Rogers)

"Sweet Music Man"
(originally by Kenny Rogers)

She said sing a song sweet music man
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a hell of a singer and powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who
Demand so little of you.

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
Even had me singin' along right with you you said I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
Sang the song you had written for me to someone new.

Nobody sings love songs quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel the things are right
When I know they're wrong
Nobody sings love songs quite like you.

Sing your song sweet music man
Travel the world with a six piece band that does for you
What you ask me to
And you try to stay young but the songs are sung
To so many people who've all begun came back on you.

Sing your song sad music man
Makin' your living doing one night stands
They're through with you they don't need you
You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man.

But you'll keep on lookin' for one last fan to sing to
Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel the things are right
When they're wrong with a song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

She said, sing your song sweet music man I believe in you...
