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

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" 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 03:06
"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

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 03:10
"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.

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'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
