Alabam

I went to a Turkey roast down the street
The people down there are eatin' like wild geese
So I'm on my way I'm goin' back in Alabam
Well you talk about your people havin' a lot of time
Eating up their chickens and drinkin' their wine
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
Now some folks say that a tramp won't steal
But I cought three in my corn field
And I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
Well one had a bushel and one had a peck
And one had a roaster near tied around his neck
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
[ guitar ]
Well there comes Sal walkin' down the street
With the run down shoes tied on her feet
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
When I get ready to leave this earth
I'm going back to my money's worth
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
[ piano - guitar ]

All In The Name Of Love

Big Jim Butcher was the king of the hill
He ran his business with a deadly will
His foreman, John, had a pretty wife
The way she looked cut Jim like a knife

John was weak and his wife was, too
Her name was Kate, and she fell in, too
She let Big Jim do what he had to do
And John stood by and his life was thru

(Chorus:)
It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

John took a bottle one drink at a time
Stared off in space as he lost his mind
Knew who it was on the telephone
He saw it all and he felt so alone

One dark morning, John stood up like a man
He took his shotgun with a steady hand
He went to the motel - broke the door in
He left two holes where two hearts had been

(repeat chorus)

He called the preacher and he called the law
And when they got there it was pretty raw
He said "Boys, you better come and take me away
I've done all I can do in the name of love today"

(repeat chorus 3 times)

All Of Me

All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see that I'm no good without you
Take my arms I want to lose them
Take my lips I'll never use them

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
And I know that I am no good without you
You took apart that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?

All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see that I'm no good without you
Take my arms I want to lose them
Take my lips I'll never use them

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
And I know that I am no good without you
You took apart that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
Why not take all of me?

All The Soft Places To Fall

Most of my lfe I've been runnin' around playin' and
havin' a ball
And maybe I've been on a party too long these mem'ries
are fond to recall
You see we've got thise thing about women smokin' and
good alcohol
Now I'm lookin' for a homelife and clean smellin' sheets
and all the soft places to fall
The women we've known have been many but they don't
understand us at all
Though we've spent amny a long hours hopin' some old love
would call
Surely somebody somewhere still wants us or don't nobody
wants us at all
We're lookin' for a homelife and clean smellin' sheets
and all the soft places to fall
Most of our lives we've been outlaws slept with our backs
to the wall
I'm a rambler I'm a seeker and we're gettin' weaker a
whole lot more likely to fall
We're tired of the rocks and brambles those barbed wire
fences at all
We're lookin' for a homelife and clean smellin' sheets
and all the soft places to fall

[ guitar ]

Most of our lives we've been outlaws...

All The Things You Are

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I'll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

Always

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
And, not for just a year, but, always

Always Late (with Your Kisses)

Always late with your kisses won't you come to my arms sweet darling and stay
Always late with your kisses why oh why do you want to do me this way
How long do you think that I can wait when you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses why why why do you want to do me this way
[ piano ]
How long do you think...

Always Now

It's always now
There never was a used to be
Everything is still with me
And it;s alawys now

So brace your heart
Save yourself some sanity
It's more than just a memory
And it's always now
And here's your part

Sing it like a melody
There's really only you and me
And it's always now

So brace your heart
Save yourself some sanity
It's more than just a memory
And it's always now
And here's your part
Sing it like a melody
There's really only you and me
And it's always now
There's really only you and me
And it's always now

Always On My Mind

Maybe I didn’t love you, quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you, quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best, girl I’m sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you, all those lonely lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, I'll keep you satisfied

(instrumental)

Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Am I Blue

Am I blue am I blue ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you
Am I blue you'd be too if each plan that you had done and fell through
There was a time I was your only one now I'm sad and lonely one I'm such lonely one
Was I gay till today now you're gone and we're through am I blue
