Do You Mind Too Much If I Don't Understand

I'd be the last one to tell you that you shouldn't go
And the first to say be happy if you can
But you lie and hurt someone who needs and loves you so
Do you mind too much if I don't understand

I suppose that you're convinced this is the thing to do
Life is short and sweet break all the hearts you can
I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's all a game to you
But do you mind too much if I don't understand

Forgive me but it all seems so unreal to me
And my heart and me we'd made so many plans
But that's all over now there's nothing left to do
But do you mind too much if I don't understand

Do you mind too much if I don't understand

Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age

Don't be ashamed of your age
Don't let the years get you down
That old gang you knew
They still think of you
As a rounder in your old home town

Don't mind the grey in your hair
Just think of the fun you had puttin' it there
And as for that old book of time
Boy, you never skipped a page
So, don't be ashamed of your age
Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

Now, listen Mr Smith and Mr Brown
Don't let the years get you down
'Cause life ain't begun until you're forty some
That's when you really start to go to town
Now don't wish that you were a lad
Why boy, you've lost more girls
Than they've ever had
And once more you've graduated
From that ol' stubborn stage
So, don't be ashamed of your age
Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

Don't Fade Away

When the world is crashing down
And you're left alone on shaky ground
It seems like losing hope's
The only way to cope
But you can turn around and see
That every precious memory
Is still inside of you
Just let it shine on through
Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
But you'll find yourself again
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Take your time and think it through
You've got everything in front of you
It's like a brand new page
Each and every day
Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
You'll find yourself again
Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
The tide will turn again
Don't fade away
All that you've seen
All that you've done
Don't say it's over
You hold the key
Unlock the sun
Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
But you'll find yourself again
Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
The tide will turn again
Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
And all that really means
Is that you'll find yourself again
Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
Tide will turn again
Don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away
When the world is crashing down
Don't fade away
And you're left alone on shaky ground
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away

Don't Fence Me In

Oh give me land lots of land under starry skies above don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me out forever but I ask you please don't fence me in
Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences don't fence me in
[ guitar - keyboards ]
Just turn me loose...
Don't fence me in don't fence me in

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

[ guitar ]

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Don't Give Up

In this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight taught to win I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up cause you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet
Don't give up I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around I never thought that I could be affected
I thought that we would be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home the place that I was born on the lakeside
And as daylight broke I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up you still have us
Don't give up we don't need much of anything
Don't give up cause somewhere there's a place there's a place where we belong

Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore
I'm gonna stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come and whatever may go
That river's flowing that river's flowing

Moved on to another town tried hard to settle down
For every job so many men so many men no one needs
Don't give up cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one
Don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us
Don't give up now we're proud of who you are
Don't give up you know it's never been easy
Don't give up cause I believe there's a place there's a place where we belong

Don't Go To Strangers

Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers, darlin'
Come to me

Play with fire 'til your fingers burn
When there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darlin'
Come to me

For when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart, I know
'Cause I'm an old hand, I've been through it all
I'll understand if you go

So make your mark for your friends to see
When you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darlin'
Come to me

For when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart, I know
'Cause I'm an old hand and I've been through it all
I'll understand if you go

So, make your mark for your friends to see
When you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darlin'
Come to me

Don't go to strangers, darlin'
Come to me

Don't You Ever Get Tired (of Hurting Me)

You make my eyes run over all the time and you're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think that I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have one in such a long long while
Still I keep running back how can this be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
[steel]
You must think that I look bad...
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me

Down To Our Last Goodbye

This was my last mistake
That's all her heart could take
Now we're down to our last goodbye

Her lips won't kiss me now
The lips that I taught how
Now we're down to our last goodbye

What can I tell her
That I haven't told her
That would change her mind
Cause she heard that line before
Now all that's left for me
Is just the memory of all
Those happy days gone by
Now we're down to our last goodbye
What can I tell her
That I haven't told her
That would change her mind
Cause she heard that line before
Now all that's left for me
Is just the memory of all
Those happy days gone by
Now we're down to our last goodbye

Dreamer's Holiday

Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!
