"Things To Remember"

"Things To Remember"

I've cried so much lately
That I've made out of list
The things to remember
Things to forget

But my mind can't separate
Joy from regret
I always remember the things
To forget

Things to remember
With the day that we met
The day that we parted
Things to forget

Well, why won't my heart
Let me do it this way?
With just things to remember
Today

Things to remember
Plans that were set
Plans didn't work out
Things to forget

Well, why won't my heart
Let me do it this way?
With just things to remember
Today

"This Cold War With You"

"This Cold War With You"

The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you
Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

[guitar - steel]

Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

"This Face"

"This Face"

This Face is all I have, worn and lived in
And lines below my eyes are like old friends
And this old hearts' been beaten up
And my ragged soul has had things rough
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

The fairest they can fall bored in believing
Something to achieve, this peaceful feeling
After all these tears are only true
And your silver spoons can't dig up my roots
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

[Chorus:]
Worn and lived in
Through the tides of time
Worn and lived in
This face of mine
And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

I never looked like you, cool and streamlined
I have this honesty that grows with time
And when cracks appear they suit me fine
Like a good old dog you won't hear me whine
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

[Chorus:]
Worn and lived in
Through the tides of time
Worn and lived in
This face of mine
And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

Sins and lies, they take the place of truth and answers
You can trade a glance and call it second sight
You can't buy sympathetic mirrors,
And honesty is an answer you can't find

And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

"This Is How Without You Goes"

"This Is How Without You Goes"

This is the first time that I've ever had this much time
To sit and watch the grass grow and wonder why you left me
And oh, I've often wondered how I would take this feeling
That I'm feeling today, would it really be despair if you ever went away?

So this is how without you goes
Watching re-runs of old memory shows
Even at my best the worst is yet to come
God knows, this is how without you goes

I never thought that I would sit and watch the sunrise
And not care if there were blue skies 'coz you were always with me
But now we're not together and come fair or stormy weather
Everything is tear clouds and no matter what I do
They keep falling from me now

So this is how without you goes
Watching re-runs of old memory shows
And even at my best the worst is yet to come
God knows, this is how without you goes
So this is how without you goes

"Three Days"
(originally by Faron Young)

"Three Days"
(originally by Faron Young)

Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
'Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread be alive
Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
'Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Three days
Three days
...

"Till I Gain Control Again"

"Till I Gain Control Again"

Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin
And I have never gone so long just for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing that I can hide a few you see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now there are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now till I gain control again

Just like a lighthouse you must stand alone and mark the sailors journey's end
And no matter what sea that I've been sailing on I'll always roll this way again
Out on the road that lies...

"Till The End Of The World"
(originally by Jim Reeves)
(with Shelby Lynne)

Till the stars in the sky cease to shine
Till the sand in the desert grows cold
Till the last petals fall from the roses
And the silver in your hair turns back to gold

Till the sun and the moon hide in darkness
And we wait for that great light to shine
Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

Till the star in the sky cease to shine
Till the sand in the desert grows cold
Till the last petals fall from the roses
And the silver in your hair turns back to gold

Till the sun and the moon hide in darkness
And we wait for that great light to shine
Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

"Time After Time"

"Time After Time"

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new

Flashbacks, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said

Then you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay

Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

When you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you and I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you and I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
After time, after time

"Time Of The Preacher"

"Time Of The Preacher"

It was the time of the preacher
When the story began
With the choice of a lady
and the love of a man

How he loved her so dearly
he went out of his mind
When she left him for someone
she'd left behind

He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
and went for a ride

It was the time of the preacher
in the year of 01
Now the preachin' is over
and the lesson's begun

[Guitar music]

"Tired"

"Tired"

My name is Jackson, I was named after my father
I followed in his footsteps down here to this factory
And I ain't complainin', wouldn't waste my breath to bother
This work ain't hard, it's only borin' as can be

I married Rebbecca back in seventy-seven
And I still love her and I guess she loves me too
We go to church on Sunday 'cause we want to go to heaven
Me and my family, ain't that how you're supposed to do?

But I'm tired, Lord I'm tired
Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
And I'm tired

Only missed six days and nights of twenty years of working
Money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time
Raise I got six months ago don't meet the cost of living
Selling my body for these nickels and these dimes

The smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this morning
I showered and I shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on
Walked in the kitchen, and she was starin' out of the window
And the way she said good morning
Made me ask, "Is something wrong?"

She said, "I'm tired, I woke up tired"
Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
And I guess we'll just keep goin' till we're gone
And I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired
Said, "I'm tired", Lord, I'm tired
