Dreams Come True

I just thought, that you would like to know
That I would, do anything, just to make your dreams, just to make your dreams come true


Well I just thought, that you would like to know, that I... I would climb the highest tree
Just to make your dreams, just to make your dreams, come true


I know, that it seems like, I am full of hot air
But my heart is in the right place
I swear, I swear


I just thought that you, would like to know, that I... I would do anything
Just to make your dreams, just to make your dreams come true



Now I know that it seems like, I'm full of hot air
But my heart
My heart is in the right place
I swear, I swear


And I just thought that you, would like to know
That I... I'd do anything... anything, just to make your dreams


Just to make your dreams come true


Just to make your dreams, just to make your dreams...
...
Come true

Drinking Champagne

I'm drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning
Dining and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
And I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Guilty conscience I guess though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine
So I'll keep drinking champagne...
Guilty conscience I guess...
So I'll keep drinking champagne...
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you

Well, my sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
So I started drinking for past time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you

Now you've turned me down and you don't want me
There's nothing left now to lose
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
And I just can't quit drinking that old booze

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
Just drivin' those nails over you

Dry Lightning

I threw my robe on in the morning
Watched the ring on the stove turn red
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee
Pulled on my boots and made the bed
Screen door hangin' off its hinges
Kept bangin' me awake all night
As I look out the window
The only thing in sight

Is dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind.

I chased the heat of her blood
Like it was the holy grail
Descend beautiful spirit
Into the evening pale
Her appaloosa's kickin'
Kickin' in the corral smelling rain
There's a low thunder rolling
'Cross the mesquite plain

But there's just dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind

I'd drive down to Alvarado Street
Where she'd dance to make ends meet
I'd spend the night over my gin
As she'd talk to her men

The piss yellow sun
Comes bringin' up the day
She said "Ain't nobody can give nobody
What they really need anyway."

Well you get so sick of the fightin'
You lose your fear of the end
But I can't lose your memory
And the sweet smell of your skin

And it's just dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind

Dusty Skies

Dusty skies I can't see nothing in sight
Good old Dan you'll have to guide me right
For we lose our way the cattle will stray
And we lose them all tonight
With all of the grass and water's gone
We'll have to keep the cattle moving on
Sand blowing I just can't breathe in this air
Thought it would soon be clear and fair
But the dust storms were bad they took all we had
I've got to be moving somewhere

I hate to leave the old ranch so bare
But I've got to be moving somewhere
So get along doggies we're moving off of this range
Never thought as how I'd make the change
But the blue skies have failed we're on our last trail
Underneath these dusty skies
These ain't tears in my eyes just sand from these dusty skies

Each Night At Nine

A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine

I hold your picture close to my heart it takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine to feel your nearness night at nine
[ guitar - piano ]
The bugle's playing out go the lights even it's lonely these army nights
Go tell kids I'm doing fine give them my love dear each night at nine
A thousand miles dear...
I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine

Eight More Miles To Louisville

I've traveled o'er the country wide a seekin' fortune fair
I've been down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East and Portland West and back along the line
I'm goin' now to a place that's best that old home town of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come in to my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I 'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville the home town of my heart
[ banjo - keyboards ]
There's sure to be a girl somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a rambling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
Oh eight more miles and Louisville...
[ banjo - keyboards ]
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love site is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
Eight more miles to Louisville...

End Of Understanding

Each time you hurt me you say you're sorry I try to understand and say okay
But there must be an end to understanding and the end of mine can't be too far away
I try to understand you're only human and we all make mistakes every day
But there must be an end to understanding and I know that I just can't go on this way
Don't you know that love and understanding go together
Ask too much of one and both will die
And there must be an end to understanding
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine

Everybody's Talkin'

Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes in my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the fallin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
And sailin' on summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

[guitar]

Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind

Everything But You

I've got a new car, an' it drives just like a dream.
I've got money, an' can buy most anything.
I've got places to go an' things to do.
I've got everything, everything but you.
I've got a date book that's just bulging at the seams.
I've got the numbers of all the local queens.
They give me memories that last a day or two.
I've got everything, everything but you.
But this new car I drive don't mean anything,
Which reminds me: there's a payment overdue.
An' they say that I'm a man who's got everything.
Yeah, I've got everything, everything but you.
Instrumental break.
An' this new car that I drive don't mean anything,
Which reminds me: there's a payment overdue.
An' they say that I'm a man who's got everything.
Yeah, I've got everything, everything but you.
