Women Be Wise
Sippy Wallace
(Additional lyrics by John Beach)
Olwen Music- BMI


Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good
They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day
What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away
She's loving your man in your own damn bed
You better call for the doctor, mama, try to investigate your head
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around, girl, telling all your secrets,
telling all those good things he really can do
If you talk about your baby, you tell me he's so fine
Lord honey, I just might sneek up and try to make him mine
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Don't be no fool, don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)

12. All at Once
(Bonnie Raitt)

Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off in a rage
Third time this week
Don't tell me it's the age
Don't know how I lost her
I only know that it's a shame
Ever since her Daddy left
The girl ain't been the same.

Chorus
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they can say could hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.
Ah, who am I kiddin'
I should have known he'd never leave
The time we spend together
Is harder than the time between
You wouldn't think it could hurt so
To see 'em out the other day
If that's what he calls leavin'
I guess I threw it all away.

Chorus
They say women, we're the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't how I feel right now
I don't even think it's true
Looks to me there's lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
Is just a mystery to me.

Angel from Montgomery
John Prine
Cotillion Music, InclSour Grapes Music-BMI

I am an old woman
named after my mother
an old man is another
child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder
lightning was desire
this old house it would've burned down
a long time ago

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
it wasn't much to look at
it was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
no matter how I tried
the years they just rolled by
like a broken down dance

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
go on to work in the morning
to come home in the evening
and have nothing to say

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

6. Blue for no reason
(Bonnie Raitt/Paul Brady)

When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?

Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reaso

7. Meet me half way
(Bonnie Raitt/Annie Roboff/Beth Neilsen-Chapman)

You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it aint on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able

You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
You say you're tired, well so am I
Baby you've got to try and

Meet halfway or we aint gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway if you want to get it right
Meet halfway cause I aint gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway in the middle of the night

Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it aint about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect

I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and

Meet halfway, aint no doubt about it baby
Meet halfway and we're halfway home
Meet halfway, got to scream and shout it, baby
Meet me halfway and I'll shake you to the bone

8. I'm on your side
(Bonnie Raitt)

Baby, won't you come and tell me
Tell me what we're gonna do... yeah, baby
I've tried everything I know just to,
Just to try and get along witn you
Wake up in the morning and already
You are aimin for a fight
No matter what I say or do
I'm never gonna get it right

But aint we gettin kind of tore down
Always layin it on the line
I don't think that when they called it love
This is what they had in mind

(Chorus)
(Hey) Baby, don't you know that
I'm on your side
All you got to do now, darlin...
Take my little heart and open wide
Hey baby, I know we can work it out
Might take a little mojo workin, baby
But aint that what love is all about?

Hey Baby, must be somethin bout this
push and pull
makes me wonder if we stir it up...
just to make sure things'll never get dull.

Come on baby take the gloves off
and then untie those shoes
I got somethin more tantalizin
For you left and right to do

(Chorus)

9. Fearless love
(Dillon O'Brian)

Come my love
Come bravely to me
Let your heart be still
For our time
Has come my tender one
To be free of will

And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go

Skippin' stones
Across the great unknown
Safe at water's edge
Don't look down, baby
We're gonna leave this losin' town
(and) leap out from the ledge

And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go

10. I need love
(Joey Spampinato)

I need love
And I search it everywhere I go
And lately I been in a zone
It's got a will of its own
But right now I'm here to discuss
Just what you think about us

I need love, I need love
And I'm checkin everything I see
You know at times I wanna take on three
That's just the way I could be
I let you know about that
Just so you know where I'm at
I need love, I need love

It's always been this way and ain't nothin'
Gonna change it
And ain't nothin' you can try

I need love, I need love
And I'm takin every chance I may
And baby you could make my day
There's just one thing I should say
Now that it's all said and done
You know I do need to run
I need love, I need love

4. Cool, clear water

I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
Till' I'm rootless and unbound
I want to feel my body tremble
When there's no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin'
In this love that I've found

Hey baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself tome
I'll come runnin'

I want to feel myself go under,baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under,darlin'
Until it drops me to my knees
I want to know that I can findyou
When there's no more eyes tosee
In this cool, clear water runnin'
You'll come runnin' to me

hey baby
All my life I have known there'ssomething more
A love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that you're the one

When I feelmy babycallin'
It's like awhisper inAnd whenthe softestrain is fallin', darlin'
I will crumble in your hand
And when all that's left is wonder
And no need to understand
Well this cool, clear waterrunnin'
Will be all that I am...

5. Circle Dance

I dont' know why it should be sohard
Givin' up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
don't give love a chance

It's a bitter heirloom handed down
these twisted parts we play
I'm not her and you're not him
It just comes out that way

Can't go back to make things right
(though I) wish I'd understood
time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could

I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves

I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me

Can't go back to make things right
(though I) wish I'd understood
Time has made things clearer now
You did the best you could

Now that this has occurred tome
I just wanted you to know
I've been too faithful all my life
It's time to let you go
