Making Believe

I'm making believe that you still love me and it's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love now and you'll never be mine
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
[steel]
I'm making believe...

Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away
Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mams' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama Tried

I can hear the wind blowing in my mind
Just the way it used to do through the Georgia pines
And you were there to answer when I called
You and me, Lord knows, we had it all

Remember how I used to touch your hair, baby
Looking for the feeling, it was always there
You're the best thing in my life I can recall
Yeah baby, you and me, we had it all

I know that we can never live those times again
And I get old feelings that I'll be there back again
And I'll stay with you girl just as long as I can
'Cause it was so good, oh, it was so good, you know
Yes, it was so good when I was your man

And I'll never stop believing in your smile
Even though, you didn't stay, it was all worth while
And I know that beneath of it all, baby
Just you and me, we had it all

You and me, we had it all

Man With The Blues

If you need some advice in being lonely
If you need a little help in feelin' blue
If you need some advice on how to cry all night
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

I'm the man with a hundred thousand heart aches (a good selection all in blue)
And I've got most any color of the blues
So if you need a little shove in foulin' up in love
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

You have a trusting man you can depend on
He tells you youA're the one he dearly loves
Your not content to be his wife you long for the restless life
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

Mansion On The Hill

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

[dobro]

I've waited all through the years, love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know that you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window
And the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill

Maria (shut Up And Kiss Me)

That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my light on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'

Chorus:
Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

That's my favorite shirt, you always had on.
Man, It sure looked good, ev'ry time you walked on.
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could.
You're good.
Somethin' I can't explain.
You tell me lately I've changed.
If you feel better tell me why are you cryin'?

(Repeat Chorus)

Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone.
Come to bed.

Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down.
Maria just calm down
In these situations I've found it's best not to be proud
and say that you're sorry.

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
on and on and on and on......

Marie (the Dawn Is Breaking)

Marie, the dawn is breaking,
Marie, you'll soon be waking
To find, your heart is breaking
And tears, will fall, as you recall

The moon, in all its splendor,
Your kiss, so very tender,
The words "will you remember me"
My Marie

Maybe You'll Be There

Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there

I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place to look for you
But maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this?
Some day if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this?

Some day if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll be there
And maybe you'll be there

Me And Bobby Mcgee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
And with the windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
And body that was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[ guitar ]
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word...
[ guitar - harmonica ]
