If I Were The Man You Wanted

They all sat around in a circle laughing and all telling lies
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar se said boys I've got nothing to hide
The King and the Queen stood together then the ace he would not be to blame
And if the cards were all laid on the table then love could be more than a game
And if the stars didn't shine on the water then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am

And I have seen my share of long nights and I have told my share of lies
And I have run into the darkness when I saw the look in your eyes
But if the night didn't lie in the darkness then the daylight would be hard to find
And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness I would have never have spoken my mind
And if the stars didn't shine on the water...
[ guitar ]
So if you're going out to Carolina then don't linger in New Mexico
And if you think of the one there behind you then you might not feel so alone
And if the stars didn't shine on the water...
And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am

If It's Wrong To Love You

If it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be
And though the world may scorn me
Darling, can't you see
If it's wrong to want you
When my day is through
Gladly I will pay for
All my dreams of you
And though we met too late, dear
And you'll never know
That without a right to
I have loved you so
I can't change my heart now
You're a part of me
So if it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be

[guitar]

And though we met too late, dear
And you'll never know
That without a right to
I have loved you so
I can't change my heart now
You're a part of me
So if it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be

If You Could See What's Going Through My Mind

If you could only see what's going through my mind
And if your ears could hear the rhythms and the rhymes
If you could see our love directing time
If you could only see what's going through my mind

And if you only knew the values of unknowns
And if you could see transitions going on
And if my lips could speak the words, the truth you'd find
If you could only see what's going through my mind

If you could only see what's going through my mind
And if your ears could hear the rhythms and the rhymes
And if you could see our love directing time
If you could only see what's going through my mind

If you could only see what's going through my mind
If you could only see what's going through my mind
If you could only see what's going through my mind

If You Could Touch Her At All

Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by my bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love can't make up for six nights alone
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
And sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weak and weary as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love can't make up...
[ guitar ]
And sometimes it seems...

If You Really Loved Me

If you really loved me
You wouldn't treat me this way
And you'd be kind enough
To leave some life while I'm away
And I might cry when you go
But I won't die when you go
And someday someone just might come along

If you really loved me
You wouldn't test me this way
You wouldn't leave the choice of leaving up to me
But I'm too proud to survive
Cause I'm more dead than alive
Cause someday someone just might come along

If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time

If you Got The Money, Honey
I've Got The Time

If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
We'll go honky-tonkin'
And we're gonna have a time
We'll make all the night spots
Dance to the music, fine
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
Well, there ain't no use to tarry
So let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy, boy, oh boy
And we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun, baby
All the way down the line
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time

We'll make all the night spots
Dance to the music, fine
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time

If you got the money, honey
I've got The Time
We'll go honky-tonkin'
And we're gonna have a time
Bring along your Cadillac
Leave my old wreck behind
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time

Well, we'll go honky-tonkin'
Make ev'ry club in to-own
We'll go to the park where it's dark
We won't fool around
But if you run short of money, honey
I'll run short of time
'Cause you with no more money, honey
I've no more time

In God's Eyes

Never think evil thoughts of anyone
It's just as wrong to think as to say
For a thought is but a word that's unspoken
In God's eyes He sees it this way
Lend a hand if you can to a stranger
Never worry if he can't repay
For in time you'll be repaid ten times over
In God's eyes He sees it this way
In God's eyes we're like sheep in a meadow
Now and then a lamb goes astray
But open arms should await it's returning
In God's eyes He sees it this way

[guitar]

In God's eyes we're like sheep in a meadow
Now and then a lamb goes astray
But open arms should await it's returning
In God's eyes He sees it this way

In The Garden

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'd stay in the garden with Him
'Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

In The Jailhouse Now

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

I had a friend named Rambling Bob who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse...
[ steel ]
I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man in town
She started to call me honey she started to spend my money
We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
