WALKING THROUGH YOUR TOWN IN THE SNOW
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I've got no place to go –
All the trains are running slow
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
I'm so cold I can't think –
I could really use a drink
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
How the freezing winds they blow
When the mission doors are closed
Now I'm walking through your town in the snow
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
They're cooking up down there
And I've nothing left to share
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
Maybe I can rustle up a job
Maybe I can rustle up a job
But there's nothing I can do
My best working days are through
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
I can see my golden years
Shining through these tears
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I've got no place to go –
All the trains are running slow
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
I carry my home on my back
I carry my home on my back
But the police only frown
Every time I lay it down
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

Albuquerque
04:26
|

Well they say that Santa Fe
is less than ninety miles away
and i've got time to roll a number and rent a car
Oh Albuquerque
I've been flying down the road
and I've been starving to be alone
Independent from the sea that I've known
So I'll stop where I can
Find some fried eggs and country ham
I'll find somewhere where they don't care who I am.

Don't let the sun go down on your grievances
Respect love of the heart over lust of the flesh
Do yourself a favor: become your own savior
And don't let the sun go down on your grievances
And when you wake up in the morning
You'll have a brand new feeling
And you'll find yourself healing
So don't let the sun go down on your grievances
Sometimes you might want to give up
But keep that chin up
Cause you're gonna find
You're gonna find
Sometimes you might be alone
But don't feel lonely
'Cause you're gonna find
You're gonna find
And yet if you find yourself in the dark
And you're left holding the bag
Then take care of it right away
And don't let the sun go down on your grievances again
Don't let the sun go down on your grievances
Respect love of the heart over lust of the flesh
Do yourself a favor: become your own savior
And don't let the sun go down on your grievances

Waterloo Sunset
03:09
|

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunsets fine
Terry meets julie, waterloo station
Every friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunsets fine
Millions of people swarming like flies round waterloo underground
But terry and julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunsets fine

Counting My Lucky Stars
04:23
|

"Counting My Lucky Stars"
Like a pebble at her window
She knows I'm back for more
in through the sliding door
Then a rustle at her curtain
I rush to meet her now
We found each other somehow
Counting my lucky stars tonight
Lying in loving arms
and it feels all right
Counting my lucky stars
I hear the beat of another heart
Lying in loving arms tonight
Bedside candle softly burning
No place we gotta go
Ray Price on the stereo
Sharing love and words of kindness
My nerves are settled
the fever's left my brow
My nerves are settled
she does that for me somehow
Counting my lucky stars tonight
Lying in loving arms
and it feels all right
Counting my lucky stars
I hear the beat of another heart
Lying in loving arms tonight
And it feels all right

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

Fancy Free

"Fancy Free"
I'm sitting fancy free, because she was to go
She's tired of loving me, she told me so
I guess she don't know just how much she means to me
But along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Oh lord you just don't know how it hurts to say goodbye
She did her best to stay I can't say she did not try
I just hope the road she takes leads back to me
So along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free

Don't Pay 'Em No Mind
03:12

If people laugh
each time they see us walking by
and their whispering
just makes you seem like you wanna die
Keep on walking by my side
don't look behind
Remember that I love you
so don't you pay 'em no mind
People say
our love ain't gonna last too long
And they point at us,
just like we've been doing something wrong
keep on walking by my side
don't look behind
Remember that I love you
so don't you pay 'em no mind
Stay with me and let em' see,
let em' know that you love me, that you love me, if
It's true who cares what they do?
Cause I don't need anyone
but you
Just you and me,
we're gonna make it all alone.
Let them laugh at us,
we're gonna build a world all our own,
keep on walking by my side
we'll be fine
Remember that I love you
so don't you pay 'em no mind

Me and Paul

"Me and Paul"
Almost busted in Laredo,
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose,
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave,
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.
And at the airport in Milwaukee,
They refused to let us board the plane at all,
They said we looked suspicious,
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul.
It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standing upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind’s still fairly sound.
I guess that Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul
And on a package show in Buffalo
With us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride.
The show was long and we was just sittin’ there
And we’d come to play and not just for the ride.
Well we drank a lot of whiskey,
So I don’t know if we went on that night at all.
But I don’t think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain’t geared for me and Paul.

Air I Breathe
03:08
|

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you

She Belongs To Me

She's got everything she needs,
She's an artist, she don't look back.
She's got everything she needs,
She's an artist, she don't look back.
She can take the dark out of the nighttime
And paint the daytime black.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees.
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees.
She never stumbles,
She's got no place to fall.
She never stumbles,
She's got no place to fall.
She's nobody's child,
The Law can't touch her at all.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks.
She's a hypnotist collector,
You are a walking antique.
Bow down to her on Sunday,
Salute her when her birthday comes.
Bow down to her on Sunday,
Salute her when her birthday comes.
For Halloween buy her a trumpet
And for Christmas, bring her a drum

Night Owl
03:21
|
|||
The moon, the stars, the stillness of the night
Has always cast a spell on me
I'm not ashamed to say
I'd rather sleep all day
The lights, the fun
The things that can be done
But one who needs the sun can't see
I'm like that wise old bird
Whose song you've often heard
Oooo oooo- I'm a night owl
I wake up just as soon as the sun goes down
Oooo oooo- I'm a night owl
I start out and I do the town up brown
I make light of the darkness
Like my friend in the tree
Round about three
I'm Hootin'... still hootin'...
Oooo - oooo I'm a night owl
Just like that great bird
I am a late bird too
