GIRL AT THE END OF THE BAR 

If you'd ever been drinking
I know that you'd seen her
At the end of the bar all alone
She knows what you're thinking
When you try to approach her
And anything you say might be wrong.

She's not there for company
She don't like to remember
She once let herself go too far
She's not there to complain
She just wants to remain
The girl at the end of the bar.

The girl at the end of the bar
Who once let herself go too far
Now carries love like a scar
The girl at the end of the bar

She had so many hard knocks
She don't play the jukebox
She's lived all those sad songs first hand
What's made her so bitter
And why love has quit her
Is because she has loved the wrong man.

The smile she's not wearing
Is the sign she's not caring
And the part of her permanence call
She's not there to complain
She just wants to remain
The girl at the end of the bar.

She's the girl at the end of the bar...

GIRL I ALMOST KNEW 

I'll only miss your tears in my eyes
A tear that's been a prisoner way to long
The fool that's made excuses for your lies
Now confessin' the love he's never known.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger, the girl I almost knew.

--- Instrumental ---

Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow
For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong
Behind my back you planted seeds with sorry
And they grew till the hurt became full grown.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger the girl I almost knew...

GIRL YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO SAY GOODBYE 

(Girl you sure know how to say goodbye)
You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you
You said I was a person you could trust
You told me that you love me in a way that couldn't die
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve
You said that you'd come running day or night
You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
You kissed me in a way...

GIVE AWAY GIRL 

Not long ago while dancin'
Our eyes by chance did meet
Though you were with your boyfriend
You swept me off my feet.

So foolishly as I cut in
To hope for new romance
I hardly had you in my arms
When someone sought your glance.

GIVE ME JUST ONE MORE DAY LORD 

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day Lord, then I'll be comin' home.

Brother James from down the road won't pray in church next Sunday
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one more day
When I tell him what you can do he'll still be prayin' Monday
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day.

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day Lord, then I'll be comin' home.

--- Instrumental ---

You raised money Reverend Brown, preachin' revelations
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day
When I tell them what he can do then he'll make all donations
Give me just one day, Lord, give me just one day.

In thy holy name, won't you give me just another day
There's some thing I need to do before I pass away
I have some friends that's won't live right, but now they're goin' wrong
Give me just one day lord, then I'll be comin' home...

GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE 

I found him by the railroad tracks this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said.

He said they let me out of prison back in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I'd done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
Just to see my Rose and get to know my son.

Won't you tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
And tell my boy to help his mama at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone.

Mister here's the bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose.

Give my love to Rose, won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose...

GLAD TO LET HER GO 

You took her from my side
The day you took her from me
And you though that it would hurt my pride
But there were things you failed to see.
You thought you stole away her love
But I want the world to know
It's the truth she turned her back on me
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you thought that you were foolin' me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you knew that you were cheating me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go...

GO AWAY WITH ME 

Go go go away with me mhm
Far from his heart and eyes I can love you and you'll realize
That your life holds so much in store
When you wanted and loved and adored
Go go go away with me and I know you soon will forget
His false love that's haunting your memories
Go and you'll never regret
You're his plaything and nothing more
He will hurt you he's done it before
Then you'll cry out cry out in vain
For his heart to go wondering again
Go go go away with me...
Go go go away with me mhm

GOD KEEPS THE WILD FLOWERS BLOOMING 

I've been working all day long on some old forgotten
grave
The place where mom and papa rest, beneath the cold,
cold clay
Though the tear may fill my eyes, there's a smile upon
my face
I see God remembered mom and dad, he put flowers on
thier grave.

And there's wild flowers bloomin' on mom and papas
grave
There's no pain now ever brought here any more
For the family they've all gone, I've been in prison
for to long
But God keeps the wild flowers blooming on mom and papa
grave.

--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken)
You know I still remember just as though it was only
yesterday
All the hell that my mom and dad went through to live
on from day to day
But the love that they both gave us, aw, it was surely
heaven
And all the heartache that I know I've caused them, God
knows I'll always be grateful.

(Sang)
And there's wild flowers bloomin' on mom and papas
grave
There's no pain now ever brought here any more
For the family they've all gone, I've been in prison
for to long
But God keeps the wild flowers blooming on mom and papa
grave.

God keeps the wild flowers blooming on mom and papa
grave...

While I was a-drivin' through

But the other night while goin' by the local liquor store
