Me And Paul

It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standing upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound.
I thought Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.

Almost busted in Laredo,
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose,
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave,
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.
And at the airport in Milwaukee,
They refused to let us board the plane at all,
They said we looked suspicious,
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul.

And on a package show in Buffalo
With us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride.
The show was long and we was just sittin' there
And we'd come to play and not just for the ride.
And we drank a lot of whiskey,
So I don't know if we went on that night at all.
But I don't think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Paul.

It's been rough and rocky traveling
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound.
I thought Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.

Medley:

These are difficult times these are difficult times
Lord please give me a sign for these are difficult times
REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES
(Willie Nelson)
« © '71 Full Nelson Music »
Remember the good times they're smaller in number and
easier to recall
Don't spend too much time on the bad times
Their staggering number will be heavy as lead on your
mind
Don't waste a moment unhappy invaluable moments gone with
the leakage of time
As we leave on our own separate journeys
Moving west with the sun to a place buried deep within
our minds
And remember the good times...
[ dobro ]
Remember the good times...

Mendocino County Line

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away
I orchestrated paradise, couldn?t make you stay
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County line

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I?m doin? fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

The two of us together felt nothin? but right
Feeling near immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I?m doin? fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

I don?t talk to you too much these days
I just thank the lord pictures don?t fade
I spent time with an angel just passing through
Now all that?s left is this image of you

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I?m doin? fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

Message

I'm writing you this note to say I'm sorry
That spells S-O-R-Y ever coming home
Can you find it in your heart dear to forgive me
That spells F-O how I miss you since you're gone
There are so many things
That I want to say tonight
But my mind keeps moving faster
Than my pen can write
But I hope and pray somehow
The message still gets through
That spells M-E-S-S-A-GE I love you

Midnight Rider - Toby Keith

I gotta run to keep from hidin';
I?m bound to keep on ridin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

Well, these ain't my clothes I?m wearin',
An' this ol' road goes on forever.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

Well, I've gone by the point of carin';
Some ol' bed, I?ll soon be sharin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let ?em catch the midnight rider.

Milk Cow Blues

Well I woke up this mornin', looked out my door
I can tell my milk cow, could tell by the way she lows
So if you see my milk cow, won't you drive her on home
Cause I ain't had no milk and butter, since my cow's been gone

"Francine Reed"
"Now you gotta treat me right, baby
Day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray
Cause you gonna need, you gonna need my help someday
And you goin' to be sorry, that you treated me this way"

Well I said sail, sail on
I said sail on pretty gal, sail on
Well I said sail, sail on
I said sail on pretty gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing
Until you lose your happy home
(Let me hear you make it)

Well I tried everything little woman, to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
Gon' quit my cryin', leave you alone
If you don't think I'm leavin'
You can just count the days I'm gone
Cause you ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more

And you goin' to be wondering
Where in this world I'm gone
Milk Cow Blues

Miss Molly

Oh, have you seen Miss Molly? Her cheeks are rosy red
Now when Miss Molly's smilin' the sun is dim a spell
I'll trade my horse and saddle Cow drivin' I'll resign
Now listen dear Miss Molly I've told you this before

Her lips are soft as satin and they taste like gingerbread
And when she laughs her voice is like a little silver bell
If only Miss Molly will say that she'll be mine
And even tho' I told you so I'll tell you just once more

[Chorus:]
Oh, Oh, Oh, me, oh, my Miss Molly I'm in love with you
Oh, me, oh, my Miss Molly won't you say you love me too

Mom And Dad's Waltz

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them I want them to know
How I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

CHORUS
In my heart joy tears start cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

I'd fight in wars - do all the chores
For my mama and daddy
I want them to live on - till they're called
I'd work and slave - and never rave
For mama and daddy
Because i know I owe them my all.

CHORUS

Moment Of Forever

Was it wonderful for you
Was it holly as it was for me
Did you feel the hand of destiny
That was guiding us together

You were young enough to dream
And I was old enough to learn something new
I'm so glad I got to dance with you
For a moment of forever

Sometimes when you're cryin you're happy
And sometimes you're just cryin
I know I know

And come whatever happens now
Ain't it nice to know that dreams still come true
I'm so glad that I was close to you
For a moment of forever

Sometimes when you're cryin you're happy
And sometimes you're just cryin
I know I know

And come whatever happens now
Ain't nice to know that dreams still come true
I'm so glad that I was close to you
For a moment of forever

Mona Lisa

Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
Youre so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Mona lisa, mona lisa
