"Exactly Like You"

"Exactly Like You"



I know why I waited
Know why I've been blue
I've been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you

Why should I spend some money
On a show or two
When nobody sings these love songs
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
You make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
Baby you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Yes she knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you

"Faded Love"

"Faded Love"


When I look at the letter that you wrote to me
It's you that I'm thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love

[Chorus:]
I miss you darlin' more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love

As I think of the past and all the pleasure we had,
As I watch the mating of a dove,
And it was in the springtime that we said goodbye.
I remember our faded love.

[Repeat Chorus]

"Family Bible"

"Family Bible"



There's a family Bible on the table
Each page is torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memories
At the end of day when work was over
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
I can see us sittin' round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages
Rock of ages cleft for me

Now this old world of ours is full of trouble
This old world would also better be
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
I can see us sittin' round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me

"Fan It"

"Fan It"



If the sun's too hot cool it if you can
Better go out and get yourself a five cent fan
And fan it, fan it, you gotta fan it and cool it
Honey till the cows come home

Just met myself a new girl and her name was Sue
She said, "To make love to you, honey tell you what to do"
You gotta fan it, fan it, you gotta fan it and cool it
Honey till the cows come home

My mamma's in the kitchen, I just heard that back door slam
Come out of that kitchen honey, quit scorching that ham
And let's just fan it, fan it, you gotta fan it and cool it
Honey till the cows come home

Well, I got six months in jail, my back turned to the wall
Fannin' that thing was the cause of it all
So fan it, fan it, gotta fan it and cool it
Honey till the cows come home

"Far Away Places"

"Far Away Places"



Those far away places with strange sound and names far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound and names are calling calling me
I go into China or maybe Siam I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' bout in a book that I took from a shelf
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else way on a train
I pray for the day I can get under way and search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer well maybe I am but I'm never longin' to see
The strange far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me
Calling calling me

I keep wishin' I was somewhere else waiting on a train
And I pray for the day I can get under way and search for those castles in Spain

They call me a dreamer, maybe I am but I'm never longin' to see
Those far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me

I keep wishin' I was somewhere else waiting on a train

They call me a dreamer, maybe I am but I'm never longin' to see
Those far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me

"Farther Along"

"Farther Along"



Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why it should take us
All the day long
While there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Though in the wrong.
Farther along
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.

When we see Jesus
Coming in glory
When he comes down from
His home in the sky
Then we shall meet him
In that bright mansion
We'll understand it
All by and by.
Farther along
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.
We'll understand it
All by and by

"Farther Down The Line"

"Farther Down The Line"


Let's have a hand for that young cowboy and wish him better luck next time
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo or somewhere farther down the line
This time he sure drew a bad one one that nobody could ride
By the way he pulled his hat on you know he'd be there for the fight
And it's the classic contradiction the unavoidable affliction
And it don't take much to predict son the way it always goes
Cause one day she'll say she loves you and the next she'll be tired of you
And push'll always come to shove you on that midnight rodeo
[guitar]
He almost made it to the buzzer somehow he gave up in the end
He put one hand around the other and let that pick up man on in
It was his last chance to ride it now he'll have to move along
But he knows back in his mind that he won't be away for long
And it's the classic contradiction...
So let's have a hand for that young cowboy and wish him better luck next time
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo or somewhere farther down the line

"Feed It A Memory"

"Feed It A Memory"



They said that my heart wouldn't have long to live
To lose you was more than it could stand
And that your love was all that could make it survive
But I'm doing all that I can
I just feed it a mem'ry to keep it alive a taste of the love that we once knew
And when my heartbeat gets weak and it's starting to die
I just feed it a mem'ry of you

I must keep my heart living someway and somehow
In case that you might change your mind
So if you can give it the love that it needs
Just come by and see it sometime
And feed it a mem'ry to keep it alive...

"Fire And Rain"

"Fire And Rain"



Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susan and the plans they made put an end to you
Walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd see you again

You gotta look down upon me Jesus you gotta help me make a stand
You just gotta see me through another day
My body is aching and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way
Oh I've seen fire...

I've been working my mind through an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
And there's hours of time on the telephone lines to talk about the things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines and pieces on the ground
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd see you baby one more time again
I always thought I'd see you baby one more time again
