"One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)"

"One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)"



It's quarter to three there's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up Joe I've got a little story you oughta know
We're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode
Just give me one for my baby and one more for the road

I've got the routine so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot but you've got to be true to your code
So give me one for my baby and one more for the road
Just give me one for my baby and one more for the road

"One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)"

"One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)"


One has my name and the other has my heart
With one I'll remain
That's when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other's eyes're blue
To one I am tied
To the other I am true
One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

[steel - guitar]

One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

"One In A Row"

"One In A Row"



If you can truthfully say that
You've been true just one day
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
And if you can look into my eyes
One time without telling lies
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep loving you after all

The things you do
And just one time come into my arms
And be glad that you're in my arms
That will make one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep lovin' you...
One in a row, one in a row

"One Step Beyond"

"One Step Beyond"


I'm just one step before losin' you.
And I'm just one step ahead of the blues.
But I know that there's been pain an' misery.
Long before this old world had ever heard of me.
And I know it will hurt to see you go,
But we'll just add one more heartache to the score.
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

[Instrumental]

Bet that you're surprised that I could feel this way,
After stayin' home an' waitin' night and day.
For someone who cared so much for me,
You'd come home just long enough to laugh at me.
I don't know just when my feelin's changed,
I just know I could never feel the same,
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

"Opportunity To Cry"

"Opportunity To Cry"



Just watch the sunrise on the other side of town
Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down
This would be a perfect time for me to die I'd like to take this opportunity to cry
You gave your word now I return it to you with this suggestion as to what you can do
Just exchange the words I love you for goodbye while I take this opportunity to cry
I'd like to see you but I'm afraid that I don't know wrong from right
And if I saw you would I kiss you or wanna kill you out of sight
It's been a long night so I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares they've been waiting all night long
They'll be the last ones to tell me goodbye
And they'll give me many opportunities to cry
They'll give me many opportunities to cry

"Outskirts Of Town"
(performed with Keb' Mo')



Well I'm gon' tell you baby
We'll move away from here
Gonna sell my icebox and buy me a Frigidaire
When we move out on the outskirts of town
Cause I don't want nobody foolin' or always hangin' round

It may sound funny honey, funny as it can be
If we ever have any children
I want 'em all to look like me
When we move, way out on the outskirts of town
Cause I don't want nobody foolin' there always hangin' round

[Keb' Mo':]
I'm gon' bring me own grocery
I'm gon' bring 'em everyday
I don't like that grocery boy
I gotta keep him away
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
No no, I don't want nobody always hangin' round
Well now, I don't want nobody always hangin' round

"Over The Rainbow"
(originally by Judy Garland)

"Over The Rainbow"
(originally by Judy Garland)



Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

"Over Time"

"Over Time"



Overtime, that's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me, overtime
Overtime, that's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me, overtime

Your blue eyes and your black eyelashes
The way you looked at life in your funny way
I guess out of the blue, you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you overtime

Your pale skin and your sexy crooked teeth
The trouble you'd get in in your clumsy way
I guess one afternoon and you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you, overtime

I guess out of the blue, you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you, overtime

"Over You Again"

"Over You Again"



I gotta get over you again
I gotta get over you again
I had my heart wide open
And you just walked right on back in

You can't imagine
Just how hard It's been
Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

We never really had a chance
We never really had a chance at all
I was carrying more luggage
Than U-haul truck could haul

And I had It all worked out
We'd only be the best of friends
Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

Maybe I never really got over you at all

And I've been looking in the mirror
Lying like a dog
Supposed to be so easy
Like falling off a log
And I started thinking
Thinking about things that might have been

Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
And I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
I had my heart wide open
And you just walked right on back in
And I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

"Pages"

"Pages"



Last evening, I turned by the pages of time.
And tore out the chapters when you were mine.
I attempted to cut out the memories of you.
And paste in some new ones, far better an' true.
True.

I searched through the chapters, referring to hearts,
for the one with the caption: "Till death do us part."
I ripped at each letter an' I tore at each word.
I screamed at your memory an' nobody heard.
Nobody heard.

But your memory's determined, and chances are few,
Of my ever finding a replacement for you.
It depserately clings to the floor of my mind,
And fights for its place in the pages of time.
