"To Each His Own"

"To Each His Own"


A rose must remain with the sun and the rain
Or it's lovely promise won't come true
To each his own
To each his own
And my own is you
What good is a song if
The words just don't belong
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone
To each his own
And my own is you
If a flame is to grow
There must be a glow
To open each door there's a key
I need you I know
I can't let you go
Your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insit and two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own
I've found my own one and only you

[guitar]

If a flame is to grow
There must be a glow
To open each door there's a key
I need you I know

Your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insit and two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own
I've found my own one and only you

"To Make A Long Story Short (She's Gone)"

"To Make A Long Story Short (She's Gone)"



I see nothing to be gained by explanations
No need to try to say who's right or who was wrong
No need to enter into lengthy dissertations to make a long story short she's gone
I won't attempt to explain the things that happened
To put in words why she's not here would take too long
And it's all too far beyond the realm of understanding
To make a long story short she's gone
The way you look at me you don't believe she loved me
But she once loved me with a love so sweet and strong
I won't try to give the reasons why I miss her so
To make a long story short she's gone
To make a long story short she's gone

"Today I Started Loving You Again"

"Today I Started Loving You Again"


Today I started loving you again
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few teardrops that I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
And today I started loving you again...

[guitar]

Today I started loving you again...

"Too Sick To Pray"

"Too Sick To Pray"



I've been too sick to pray, Lord
That's why we ain't talked in a while
It's been some of those days, Lord
I thought I was on my last mile

But I'm feelin OK lord,
And I'm glad taht I called you today
Never need you more
I woulda called you before
But I've been too sick to pray

Remember the family Lord
I know they will remember you
And all of their prayers, Lord
They talk to you just like I do

Well I reckon that's all Lord
That's all I can think to say
And thank you my friend
We'll be talkin' again
If I'm not too sick to pray

"Touch Me"

"Touch Me"


Touch me, touch the hand of a man
Who once owned all the world
And touch, me touch the arms
That once held all the charms
Of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me, maybe someday you may
Need to know how it feels when you lose
And so touch me, you'll know
How you feel with the blues

Watch me, watch the eyes
That have seen all the heartache
And pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though
Standing so close to the world's bluest man
Don't forget me, take a good look
At someone who's lost everything he can lose
And then touch me and you'll know
How you'd feel with the blues

[guitar]

Don't forget me take a good look...

"Tougher Than Leather"

"Tougher Than Leather"



He was Tougher Than Leather,
And he didn't care whether,
The sun shined or not.
When a young kid from Cow Town,
Wanted a showdown,
And he was careless or just maybe forgot.

But he died in the gunfight,
Blinded by sunlight...
Never draw when you're facin' the sun.
And old Tougher Than Leather,
Just carved one more notch on his gun.

And when he turned to go,
The beautiful maiden knelt down,
Where her dead sweetheart lay.
And on his breast, placed a rose,
While the townspeople stared in dismay.

And old Tougher Than Leather,
Should've known better,
But he picked up the rose in his hand.
And the townspeople froze,
When his hands crushed the rose,
And the rose petals fell in the sand.

And old Tougher Than Leather,
Was a full-time go-getter.
The grass never grew beneath his feet.
From one town to another,
He would ride like the wind,
But his mind kept going back to the street.

Where a young cowboy died,
And a young maiden cried,
And rose petals fell in the sand.
And his heart had been softened,
By the beautiful maid,
And he knew he must see her again.

Well he went back to the town,
Where it all had come down,
And he searched but his search was in vain.
He had wanted to find her,
And say he was sorry,
For causing her heart so much pain.

But one night he died,
From a poison inside,
Brought on by the wrong he had done.
And old Tougher Than Leather,
Had carved his last notch on his gun.

Well he was burried in Cow Town,
Along about sundown,
Lookin' good in his new store-bought clothes.
When the young maiden came over,
And knelt down beside him,
And on his lapel placed a rose.

There's a bird in the sky,
Flying high, flying high,
To a place from a place,
Changing skies, changing skies.

"Trouble In Mind"

"Trouble In Mind"


I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
And let that old 2-20 pacify mind
Yeah I'm goin' down to the river I'm gonna take me a rockin' chair
Yeah honey if these blues don't get me I'm gonna rock away from here
Well trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always
Before the sun's gonna shine in my backyard one of these days
[guitar - harmonica]
Trouble in mind that's true I've almost almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin' sometimes I feel like dyin'
Well trouble in mind I'm blue...

"Tumbling Tumbleweeds"

"Tumbling Tumbleweeds"


I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long,
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn.

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

"Twilight Time"

"Twilight Time"


Heavenly shades of night are falling it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling it's twilight time
When purple colored curtain mark the end of day
Hear you my dear at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendour as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the afterglow of day we keep your randezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old day fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you together at last at twilight time
[guitar]
Deep in the dark...
Together at last at twilight time
