I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes.

Atta way to go you finally broke it off
Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry
Or even wonder why that a way to go

Didn't you believe me when I loved you
I guess you thought we were playing games
All this time I tried to think I've known you
I guess I really only knew your name

My heart is out of control
This ole love struck soul
Just lives for the moment you're around
When I hold on to you
It is all I can do just to keep my feet on the ground

CHORUS:
Desperately, Loving you desperately

Don't you think it's time for us to work it out
Don't you think you know what it's all about
Don't you think it's sad livin' all alone
So don't you think it's time for us to get along

We know the songs of all the wrongs love that dies nobody tries
But here and now I know what's true I can't live without you
So don't you think it's time for us to work it out

Fair weather friends, fair weather sailors,
Will leave you stranded on life's shore.
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures.

We never know which way the wind will blow,
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be.
But He's a solid rock when troubles grow,

I should take my time, I know, take it easy, take it slow
Every heartache needs to mend, before you love again
So I hold on for awhile and try to keep this old heart free
And then I look across a room and someone smiles at me

[Chorus]
Oh and heaven help me here I go again
Before I've even had the time for this old heart to mend

Love be gentle love be kind as I give this heart of mine
To a new love I hope will never end
It seems like only yesterday love was here and went away

Out of love again but now I'm fallin' in
Fallin' in love again I'd fallen out but there's no doubt I'm fallin' in love again
I know that love won't always last when you fall in love too fast
I should know better but here I go again

Fly, fly away, fly away in the morning
Fly, fly away, just don't give me no warning

Go on, girl, fly away
If that's what you want to do
'Cause whatever's left to say, girl
It won't come from me and you

Follow me back to Louisville
If you care I think you will
I'm not trying to hurt you
I never want to hurt you
Just want to find out if you care

Follow me back to Louisville
And I'll see by the light in your eye

When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
He talked about honor and things I should know
Then he staggered a little as he went out the door
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Hank and Tennessee

"Harry And Joe"

Harry and Joe moved south with their wives
Enjoying the golden years of their lives
But life doesn't always give back what it owes
Suddenly there was just, Harry and Joe.

Now Joe'd been a teacher gentle and calm

"Healing Hands"

My Grandma and Grandpa had wonderful hands
With callouses and wedding bands.
They taught me that where there was love
There was always a way.

The picture of the two of them

How much time does it take to get it right
How much time does it take to get along
Well you worry me about it day and night
How much time does it take to get it right

I've heard that life is like a song
when you find a friend well the world just sings along
But something's wrong with you and me

I don't believe in superstars, organic food and foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold, the certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong
That north and south can't get along
That east is east and west is west, and being first is always best

But I believe in love
I believe in babies

No, no, no, I don't want to love you
And oh, oh, oh, I'm tryin' not to
No, no, no, I don't want to love you
But oh, oh, oh, I think I do.

This heart of mine it's been mistreated
Love's done me wrong time and again
After the way I've been cheated

I'll be your spring
When it feels like winter
I'll be your sweet
When life gets bitter
When the world gives in
I won't surrender
I won't give up on you
When the rain won't stop

I was sittin' here thinkin' about some old times
Some old times, some old friends
And suddenly it came across my mind
I would like to see you again

Remember how we used to walk and talk
Walk and talk, holdin' hands
We said we love each other I recall

Sometimes you may think I take you for granted
And granted, sometimes maybe I do
'Cause I've grown so used to you lying next to me
That I wouldn't want to live if you didn't love me

[Chorus]
No I wouldn't want to get up in the morning if you weren't there
To kiss me and start my day off right

You can write your own ticket now
I'll get by without you somehow
Don't you worry about what I'll do
I'll be fine without you
You say, you think the change will do you good
If you feel that way well I guess it would
I can live my life without you
I've got places to go and things to do.

"I'm Just A Country Boy"

I ain't gonna marry in the fall
I ain't gonna marry in the spring
'Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring.

And I'm just a country boy

Don Williams - I'm Still Looking for You

Love comes once they say
If it's the real thing
Me I feel that way
Knowing you must be there
Waiting for me somewhere
Some people say that I'm a fool

Darling if you ever leave me well I'll just put my heart away
I couldn't love again believe me no one could please me anyway
And if another ever came along I'd just turn them down cause after all
I've been loved by the best I can't settle now for less why bother with the rest
Baby I've been to the top I guess with you I have been blessed
I won't take nothing less I've been loved by the best

[Guitar]

I oughta know, what it’s like to loose at love
I’ve done it enough and I oughta know
But then you came my way
And tore away, the fear of pain
I won’t loose again, this time I know

I’ve got a winner in you

If I were free what I would do
I'd run and lock myself away with you
And turn a ring into a key
Oh I know that's what I'd do
If I were free
If I were strong I would be so mild
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
I would turn a cry into a song

No more nights sleeping alone
In an empty bed, in an empty home
Someone to talk to
Someone to hold in my arms
Imagine that, how sweet it'd be
To have you here again with me
Oh lord, I wish I had you back
But all I can do is imagine that

First I get cold then hot
Think I'm on fire
But I'm not
Oh, what a pain I've got
It must be love.

There's nothin' I can do
All that I want is you

"It's Who You Love"

Lying here beside her I've come to understand
If you want to be happy you can
It don't take living like a king, it doesn't cost you anything
All it takes is a woman and a man.

Because, it's who you love and who loves you

I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile

So lay down beside me, love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat

"Leaving For The Flatlands"

Sweetly flows the water from the mountain
Softly falls the rain upon the leaves
Gently blows the breeze among the cedars
Quietly my heart is on its knees.

How could anything in all creation

I guess as a lover I have a ways to go
When someone wants you they should just say it's so
But you'll understand if you'll take my hand
Then we can dance real slow.
To something on the radio.

Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio.

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Lord, have you forgotten me?
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord, I hope you understand

Maggie's up each morning at four am
By five at the counter at the diner
Her trucker friends out on the road will soon be stoppin in
As the lights go on at Cafe Carolina

Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
The mountains around Ashville she's never seen the other side

Miller's Cave
Bobby Bare
Written by Jack H. Clement

Peaked at #33 in 1964

Way down in the State of Georgia

Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and the everglades
There's a big hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave

I had a girl in Waycross Georgia
But she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel like I wasn't wanted

You give to me what life should be for everyone.
You're my pepper, you're my salt, my favorite tea.
You're my sunset on the ocean, my desert dawn.
So much of you is now a part of me.

I know a greater power must have noticed me,
And decided I would meet someone like you.
No-one on this planet thought we could ever be,

Nighttime finds me reaching out to you
Days are only waiting time, it's true
Lovely lady, you're so warm and fine
I just can't believe that you're all mine

Even in my dreams you're calling me
Saying things I just can't believe
'Cause everything you say is oh-so fine

The weather vane out on the shed is looking to the west
I reckon I'll head that way; it's good as any way I guess
Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode
'Cause there's no use running when you're on the wrong road

Gal, it wouldn't take much for someone to define
All the contradicting flashes that burn across our minds
But there's no way to communicate if you don't know the code

Oh misery, coming down all over me
Oh can't you see, you're the one that I need

You don't seem to notice, the way I feel
You don't seem to understand ,my love is real
You don't seem to care at all, how hard I try
And I do try, Lord knows I try.

You are my sunshine, you are my rain

You make me happy, (and you) never complain

When life gets tested, and all disarranged

"Only Water (Shining In The Air)"

Not that long ago I was on the run
People telling me I should be someone
And the things I'd learned were forgotten in my haste
Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased.

It was only water shining in thin air

It's hard to hide a lingering disappointment
But most of the time I wear it well
But there are times when I just can't help remembering
The night you left, that rainy night when my whole future fell

Rainy nights and memories go together
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading, on the night you were leaving

"Ride On"

Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rocking horse
Straight into the pale moonlight, make-believe of course
But what's a little girl of eight
Supposed to do when she's up so late
She can't sleep 'cause it sounds like hate
Coming from her momma and daddy's room.

Running in the fast lane, movin' on through
Doin' the best that I can, just to get home to you
I've got my radar lookin' for trouble ahead
Running in the fast lane, looking for my bed

Life out on this highway gets me weary to the bone
I feel like some ole cowboy, who was born to be alone
You told me just last evening you're so tired of telephones

Back in the innocent days there was a young Cowboy
Who was in love with a Mexican girl,
Only she didn't know it,
And he would watch her when she walked back,
In the cotton dress which danced in the wind
And her eyes held the stars
Now, she was the most beautiful thing
That cowboy had ever seen

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned the song
It took so long to realize
I just can't make it all alone

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
I'm so glad I found my way

Once I had a heart cold as ice
Love to me was only for a fun
I'd make a mark for each broken heart
Like notches on the butt of a gun

Once I had a trick up my sleeve
And a reputation all over town
I was heartless and cold wherever I'd go

"Some Broken Hearts Never Mend"

Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest,
First thing every morning that I do,
Is start missing you

Some broken hearts never mend,

I realize you got plans of your own
you could never stay with me
No one could be like a love you have known
I understand, you must be free.

Well we are two of kind I know
We've been in love and left behind before
but I beg of you before you go

I had everything, lost it all.
I built towers of gold, watched em fall.
I tried my best
But I guess my best just wasn't good enough.

I made promises. Broke em.
I've laid loved ones lives wide open.
And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far

"Such A Lovely Lady"

Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
Such a lovely lady to be mine.

Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else

Take my hand for awhile explain it to me once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart
Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand
Our love I counted on was never there
You see I've thought that you might love me
So you caught me it seems off valums with the heart so full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share

"That Song About The River"

I have seen the paddle wheelers
Rolling south on a summers' day.
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
With stars in their lemonade
And I've heard the hobos gather,
Heard their banjo's brace the blade.

THAT'S THE THING ABOUT LOVE LYRICS

Sometimes you feel lost and far from home
Then with just one kiss you're a king on a throne
It can make you soar like an eagle
Or it can make you feel as meek as a dove
Whoa, that's the thing about love

O're the life of me
Ya know I can't recall
My father giving mighty words of wisdom
But the more I live I see
The greatest gift of all
Is how I always knew for sure
He was Listening
To a million questions

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
That leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower

Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day sweetheart I find
These are the ties that bind

The little things you do that please me so
The way you always understand
When simple joys bring peace of mind

Everyday of my life until forever
Is spoken for when you looked at me.
Now that you're gone my life goes on
But all of the heart is out of me.

[Chorus:]
And I've got time on my hands, you on my mind.

From the film "Smokey And The Bandit II" (1980)

Be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
It's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can

I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac

Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California

Where all the people live so fine

You, You got me
We got somethin' everybody else can see
Me, I got you
We got a good thing honey you know we do

Friends, they all know
'cause we can't help but let it show
Smiles, we can't hide

I think about you
When I don't want to
Dream about your smiling face
I keep trying not to love you
But I love you anyway

We should be together, together
We should be walking side by side

If I could write about the way you make me feel
I wonder what I'd write
Cause of all the words there are to use
That never say it right
When I only have a minute and
It'd take a thousand hours
And some new words too
But my nights are never blue

Where is the sun where is the day I'm looking for?
Where is the moon where are the stars that'd shine before?
Where are you where are you?

Where is the time when hours were like minutes here before?
Where are the nights when it was warm even on the floor?
Where are you where are you?

I went to see my honeydew; she lived just down the way
I got stuck, and the truck froze up; and I only got half way
Sittin' here on the muddy road, stuck here all alone
The rain won't stop it's a-beatin' on the top, and I should have stayed at home

I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac

The moon is on the rise it stares at me tonight. I'm reminded of the arms that held me tight. Last time I held you it ended all to soon we were lying underneath a yellow moon.

There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky oh I wonder if you're watching it too. There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky wherever you are it's watching over you. Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon.

Sometimes we sit and talk me and that old moon. I ask him are you happy or if you're blue. I start to reminisce to summers night in June, we fell in love underneath a yellow moon.

There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky oh I wonder if you're watching it too. There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky wherever you are it's watching over you. Oh shine on, shine on yellow moon.

Some days I seem so far away from where I want to be
And the things that I've accomplished seem so small
When I'm weary of the struggle and I feel I can't go
You love me through it all
Your love gives me a balance when I'm standing on the edge
You keep me going when my dreams have stalled
And you're always building bridges even when I'm building walls
You love me through it all

You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I've never known
You gave life to our children
And to me a reason to go on

You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean

You're the only one that's ever understood
You're the only one that makes the bad times good
You're the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You're the only one that heals me with your smile.

And I smile to think you love me
And to feel you need me too
As for me I know where I'll be

There are those to tempt me if I'd let 'em
There are times it gets so hard for me
Don't ever make me feel you've left me wishin'
Don't ever make me feel you're not with me

Your sweet love, love, love
I place none above
Your sweet love, love, love
