Slow Down Old World

Slow down slow down old world
There's no hurry cause
My life ain't mine anymore
I lived too fast
Now it's too late to worry
And I'm too blue to cry anymore
I once was a fool for the women
Now I'm just a fool nothing more
So slow down slow down old world
There's no hurry cause
My life ain't mine anymore

[steel - strings]

I once had a way with the women
Till one got away with my heart
So slow down slow down old world
There's no hurry cause
My life ain't mine anymore
Cause my life ain't mine anymore

Slow Movin' Outlaw

All your stations are being torn down a high flying trains no longer roar
The floors're all sagging with boards at a suffering from not being used anymore
Things're all changing the world's rearranging a time that will soon be no more
Where has a slow movin' once quickdraw outlaw got to go
The whiskey that once settled the dust tasted so fine now taste so faint
And the mem'ries that once floated out come back stronger
And more clearly with each drink you take
And the women who warmed you once thought so pretty now look haggard and old
So where has a slow movin' once quickdraw outlaw got to go
[ guitar ]
This land where I travel once fashion with beauty now stands with scars on her face
The wide open spaces are closin' in quickly from the ways of the whole human race
And it's not that I blame them for claming her bounty
I just wish they're takin' her slow
Cause where has a slow movin' once quick draw outlaw got to go
Tell me where has a slow movin' once quick draw outlaw got to go

Slowly

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
[ harmonica - guitar ]
Slowly I'm falling...

Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold with the ways of a gentleman I've been told
A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met that guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
That ain't that I don't smoke myself and I don't reckon they'll injure your health
I've smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same at a pheasant party or a poker game
Everythin's gotta stop when they have that cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette puff puff puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

Now at a game of chance the other night ol' Dame Forson wasn't doin' me right
Them kings and queens just kept on comin' round
Well I got a full and I bet it high but my plug didn't work on a certain guy
He just kept a risin' and a layin' that money down
He's raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood I had to sink or swim
He finally called and he didn't raise the bet
I said ace is full pal how about you he said I'll tell you in a minute or two
But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
[ guitar - steel ]
The other night I had a date with the cutest gal in the fifty states
A highbred uptown social little dame
She said she loved me and it seemed to me that things were like they oughta be
So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane
She was oh so far from a chunk of ice and our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice
So help and I think I'd've been there yet
But I give her a hug and a little squeeze and she said Willie excuse me please
But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
Just gotta have another cigarette

So Much To Do

My oatmeal tastes just like confetti the coffee's too strong so forget it
The toast is burning well let it there's just so much to do since you've gone
Too much to do all alone
My tie's lost I can't find the sweater there's the doorbell I hope that's your letter
My head aches I hope I feel better there's just so much to do since you've gone
Too much to do all alone
So much to do since you've gone too much to do all alone
And time time rolls on like a river and oh there's just so much to do
And I just can't do without you

So You Think You're A Cowboy

So you think you're a cowboy but you're only a kid
With a mind to do everything wrong
And it starts to get smoother when the circle begins
But by the time that you get there it's gone

So you think you're a winner but you're losing again
The cards are all lucky but then
And the hand that you're holding means nothing at all
Just knowing is all that is there
So you think you're a cowboy...
[ guitar ]
So your life is a fun the best that you can tomorrow is not right or wrong
And don't wait for tomorrow to bring you your dreams
Cause by the time that they get there they're gone
So you think you're a cowboy...
Yeah but by the time that you get there it's gone

Soft Rain

Soft rain was falling when you said goodbye
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
A love born in heaven had suddenly died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by man
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried

The rain started falling when you said goodbye
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to gray
And the angels cried with me as you walked away

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by man
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried
And the soft rain was teardrops, for the angels all cried

Some Enchanted Evening

Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know you know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again
Some enchanted evening someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams
Who can explain it who can tell you why
Fools give you reasons wise men never try
Some enchanted evening when you find your true love
When you feel her call you across a crowded room
Fly to her side and make her your own
All through your life you may dream alone
Once you have found her never let her go
Once you have found her never her never her let go

Some Other Time

Some other time, I'll forget you.
And start my life anew.
But not just now, I won't forget you,
'Cos I've spent too much time loving you.
I know I could forget you if I wanted to.
But there's still ten thousand dreams that I must dream
of you.
Some other time, I'll stop rememberin',
The love that came my way.
Then I'll forget I ever loved you.
Some other time, but not today.
I know I could forget you if I wanted to.
But there's still ten thousand dreams that I must dream
of you.
Some other time, I'll stop rememberin',
The love that came my way.
Then I'll forget I ever loved you.
Some other time, but not today.

Some Other World

Some other world has all the sunshine
'Cause there's no sunshine in mine
Out of the darkness came thunder and rain
Leavin' my dreams all in vain

Some other world there sleeps my darlin'
There, where the skies are always blue
Why don't they take me out of this world
And let me find my sunshine with you?

Some other world there sleeps my darlin'
There, where the skies are always blue
Why don't they take me out of this world
