I'd Love To Live With You Again

Loneliness has made me
Weak enough to meet you here
The warmest thing that?s touched my lips
Since your lips, is a tear
You say you love me
And want me back again
But oh you?re wrong you see
Oh I?d love to live with you again
Then I couldn?t live with me.

Your lips are as soft as ever
And so is your hair
But still the thrill is gone
Because another has been there
It breaks my heart to walk away
From one I need so desperately
Oh I?d love to live with you again
But then I couldn?t live with me.

Your lips are as soft as ever
And so is your hair
But still the thrill is gone
Because another has been there
It breaks my heart to walk away
From one I need so desperately
Oh I?d love to live with you again
But then I couldn?t live with me.

If I'm A Fool For Leaving

This morning I am leaving
I've been up all night long
You're right, I'm tired of waiting
For you to come home

I've begged and tried to change you
But you've grown worse each day
If I'm a fool for leaving
I'd be twice the fool to stay

I'd rather be called foolish
And find somebody else
Than to be a fool forever
And not forgive myself

I'm exactly what you've made me
But I hope to change someday
If I'm a fool for leaving
I'd be twice the fool to stay

I'd rather be called foolish
And find somebody else
Than to be a fool forever
And not forgive myself

I'm exactly what you've made me
But I hope to change someday
If I'm a fool for leaving
I'd be twice the fool to stay

If I'm a fool for leaving
I'd be twice the fool to stay

John's Back In Town

Well, John does some singin', they call him a star
He plays with a hillbilly band
He goes lots of places, picks his guitar
Old John ain't a home lovin' man
John's got a woman, he calls her his queen
He buys her them city made clothes
She's 'bout the sweetest that I've ever seen
There are some things that John never knows

When Johnny's out tourin' I'm out with his queen
Flashin' his money around
So If you look for me and I can't be seen
Well, you can figure that old John's back in town

When John's out a-tourin' I wear his best suit
Smoke up his four-bit cigars
I lie to his woman and wear out his boots
Chauffer his limosuine cars
When John's makin' money he keeps on the go
So if you should hear it around
Please buy one of his records or go see his show
Help me keep old John out of town

When Johnny's out tourin' I'm out with his queen
Flashin' his money around
So If you look for me and I can't be seen
Well, you can figure that old John's back in town
(you can figure that old John's back in town)

Just How Little I Know

I remember my grand daddy carvin' on a block of pine
He shortly laid his old knife down and opened up his mind
He said we never know how long we'll be around
I wanna share with you a nugget of truth
Somethin' that an old man found
Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed
You need room to grow and room to breathe
There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road
'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know
He said I wish I had a dollar for every bridge I've turned
But there's nothin' that'll substitute
For the things we live and learn
And Lord knows I've lived and I'm still alive
And the school of hard knocks has taught me
A little horse sense i'll get you by
Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed
You need room to grow and room to breathe
There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road
'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know
Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed
You need room to grow and room to breathe
There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road
'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know
How little I know

Leavin's Been Comin' (for A Long, Long Time)

It's never over 'til it's really over
And someone's left standing behind
It goes without sayin' it's too late for stayin'
When leavin's been comin' for a long, long time.

Chorus:
I packed up my suitcase and started my p*****
So many times in my mind
It's a hard road to travel from blacktop to gravel
And the next hill is the hardest to climb.

I've got all the answers for most of the questions
And some that ain't easy to find
There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time.

Little By Little

Little by little, round by round
We?ve been caught in the middle
Two hearts breakin? down
We?ve been fightin? each other
With our backs to the wall
And little by little, we?re losin? it all

We saw it comin?, the end of the line
We?ve been hurting each other, time after time
Over and over, we ignored what we saw
And little by little we?re losin? it all

Your fault or my fault, nobody cares
It no longer matters, there's just nothing there
But a few tiny pieces waiting to fall
And little by little we're losin' it all

We saw it comin?, the end of the line
We?ve been hurting each other, time after time
Over and over, we ignored what we saw
And little by little we?re losin? it all

Lonely Me

Everything was beautiful, everything was fine
All the world was me and you and then there came a time
I realized the plans we made were never gonna be
And there'd just be your memory
And lonely me

Memories begone, why can't you go on
And leave me to my dreams of how it was with her
And lonely me

I'd like to tell you how I feel when words are hard to
find
If I had only given more, most often comes to mind
But this world's not built on dreams and it's never gonna
be
So this house just holds some could-have-beens
And lonely me

Memories begone, why can't you go on
And leave me to my dreams of how it was with her
And lonely me
And lonely me

Love In The Hot Afternoon

From somewhere outside, I hear a
Street vendor cry "filet gumbo"
From my window I see him, going
Down the street and he don't know
That we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon
Now the bourbon street lady,
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(in the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery,
But now I know (but know I know)
That she's just a girl,
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot afternoon
We got high in the park,
This morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then she came back here,
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
Where under her breath,
She hummed to herself a tune
Of Love in the hot afternoon

Maybe I Should Have Been Listening

Here you are back on my mind where you stay quite a lot
Bringing back all the old memories I thought I'd forgot
I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye

I can't believe how you keep hanging on to my mind
Now I know leaving means one goes and one stays behind
I can't escape from you no matter how hard I try
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye

Maybe, I should've been watching when you walked away
Maybe, you wouldn't keep turning up day after day
If I'd paid attention I'd know you didn't lie
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye
Maybe, I should've been listening you said, goodbye

Memories To Burn

Lady, lately you've been gettin' under my skin
I hope I don't have to say, there she goes again
Please don't be another lesson I'll have to learn
'Cause I've got memories to burn

Please don't make me have to think about you when you're gone
I've had enough to think about before you came along
If you're just makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn
'Cause I've got memories to burn

Lately maybe you've been stringin' me along
But if you plan on writing to me after you're gone
Just address your memories to whom it may concern
'Cause I've got memories to burn

Please don't make me have to think about you when you're gone
I've had enough to think about before you came along
If you're just makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn
'Cause I've got memories to burn

Well, if you're makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn
'Cause I've got memories to burn
