Night Watch

Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps
Shepherds watch over the little white sheep
The lighthouse is shining for ships out of sea
And God keeps the night watch for you and for me

So sleep, sleep in peace and rest
Don't be afraid of the darkness
All's well for over the land and the sea
God's keeping the night watch for you and for me

So sleep, sleep in peace and rest
Don't be afraid of the darkness
All's well for over the land and the sea
God's keeping the night watch for you and for me
God's keeping the night watch for you and for me

No Love Around

(Phases and stages circles and cycles and scenes that we've all seen before
Let me tell you some more let me tell you some more)

I come home last Saturday morning I come home and found you gone
Well there was a note tacked on my door said your baby don't love you anymore
Well I got dressed up and I went downtown I got dressed up and I went downtown
Well I walked up and I walked down
Well there weren't no love there weren't no love around

There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around

Well I come home and I lay down I felt my head spinning round and round
Lord I poured my dreams and I drank 'em down no there weren't no love
There weren't no love around
There weren't no love around....

No Love At All

Read in the paper nearly everyday people breaking up and just walking away
From love and that's wrong don't you know that's wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed
To get along and you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
And neither one of them try to love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt

A little bit of love is better than no love even sad love's better than no love
Even bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love even bad love's better than no love
Any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standin' on the corner with his hat in his hand
And thare's no place to go and he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat
On the tennament row and that's a rough row to hoe
No love at all is a scared young girl standin' on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a pretty short fall
A little bit of love is better than no love...
A little bit of love is better than no love...

No Place But Texas

God painted the bluebonnets in the fields
By a tough little scrub oak on an East Texas hill
And he plucked the star from a lone star sky
And he put it in the twinkle of a cowboy's eye

The wide open spaces he made wild and free
Texas as far as any eye can see
And he made her sons grow tough and strong
They still cry when they hear a sad song

(Chorus:)
No place but Texas
Would I ever roam
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home

When I die I hope they bury me
By the Pedernales River 'neath a white oak tree
Where I can see the longhorns graze
And the cactus flowers blooming in the morning haze

(Repeat chorus)

No Reason To Quit

There's a circle of people where I'm no longer welcome
I'm ashamed to say that I'm no longer fit
I could sober up tomorrow and face my friends again
But I've got no reason to quit
No I've got no reason for living right and there's no other way to forget
I could sober up tomorrow and face my friends again
But I've got no reason to quit
[ guitar - mandolin ]
I've got no reason for living right and there's no other way to forget
I know down deep inside me I'm man enough to change
But I've got no reason to quit

No Tomorrow In Sight

The children are sleepin',
Our talk can begin.
We've waited until they've gone to bed.
We knew they would cry,
When we said goodbye,
And I'd rather leave quietly instead.

We can never be happy,
We both know it's true.
We've quarrelled from the day that we met.
Our love was too weak,
To pull our dreams through,
But too strong to let us forget.

I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.

In our efforts to break through,
The thick walls of pride,
With harsh words that burned to the core.
The wall's still remainin',
But the words broke inside,
And strengthened the walls even more.

I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.

Nobody Slides My Friend

Nobody slides my friend it's a truth on which you can depend
If you're living a lie it will eat you alive and nobody slides my friend
Nobody slides my friend you can try it but you'll never win
You can scream you can shout but it all evens out
And nobody slides my friend
[ guitar ]
Nobody slides my friend listen I'll say it again
You can run you can hide but it's still waitin' inside
And nobody slides my friend

Nobody There But Me

I wish I could laugh when I look way back
Find out who stole all my dreams
Oh I wish it was easy to face the past
There was nobody there but me
And it's hard not to smile when I'm back on high ground
And I'm wishing that someone could see
Then the sun comes up and the dreams die down
There's nobody there but me
[ guitar - piano ]
It feels so good to be back on dry ground
After drifting so long at sea
And when the sun comes up and the dreams die down
There's nobody there but me there's nobody there but me

Nobody's Fault But Mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Had good love in my home
Had a good love in my home
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Loves my sugar in my tea
Loves my sugar in my tea
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Love will cry when I leave
Love will cry when I leave
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Not That I Care

So you saw her last night with her new love
Yes they tell me they make quite a pair
And that they both look happy together
I just wonder not that I care

Tell me did she look lovely as ever
Like an angel with golden hair
Does she still close her eyes when she dances
I just wonder not that I care

Once I thought I couldn't live without her
Funny how wrong I could be
Now I hardly ever think about her
What she does doesn't mean a thing to me

Well it's late so I guess I'll be going
Too much smoke what I need is some air
By the way did she ask you about me
I just wonder not that I care
I just wonder not that I care
