Nothing I Can Do About It Now

I've got a long list of real good reasons for all the things I've done,
I've got a picture in the back of my mind of what I?ve lost and what I've won
I've survived every situation knowing when to freeze and when to run
And regret is just a memory written on my brow and there's nothing I can do about it now.
I've got a wild and a restless spirit I held my price through every deal
I've seen the fire of a woman?s scorned turn her heart of gold to steal
I've got the song of the voice inside me set to the rhythm of the wheel
And I've been dreaming like a child since the cradle broke the bow and there's nothing I can do about it now.
Running through the changes going through the stages coming round the corners in my life, leaving doubt to fate, staying out to late waiting for the moon to say goodni----ight And I could cry for the time I've wasted but that's a waste of time and tears, and I know just what I'd change if went back in time somehow, but there?s nothing I can do about it now
Running through the changes going through the stages coming round the corners in my life, leaving doubt to fate, staying out too late waiting for the moon to say goodni----ight And I could cry for the time I've wasted but that's a waste of time and tears, and I know just what I'd change if went back in time somehow, but there?s nothing I can do about it now.
I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow and there's nothing I can do about it now

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark street shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight
Yet in Thy dark street shineth...

O'er The Waves

At a time when the world seems to be spinnin' hopelessly
out of control
There's deceivers an' believers an' old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go
Well, it's the same old song, it's right an' it's wrong
An' livin' is just somethin' that I do
An' with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes
An' I found myself in you

I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
An' I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real
An' I feel like I'm goin' home

An' in the shade of an oak down by the river
Sit an old man an' a boy
Settin' sail, spinnin' tales an' fishin' for whales
With a lady they both enjoy
Well, it's the same damn tune, it's the man in the moon
It's the way that I feel about you
An' with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes
An' I found myself in you

An' I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
An' I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real
An' I feel like I'm goin' home

Ocean Of Diamonds

Some people drink champagne out under the stars
While others drink wine leaning over a bar
But all that I need dear to make me feel fine
Is to know that your love will forever be mine

I'd give an ocean of diamonds or a world filled with flowers
To hold you closely for just a few hours
Hear you whisper softly that you love me too
Would change all the dark clouds to bluest of blue

I don't drink their champagne and I don't drink their wine
So if you refuse me my poor heart will pine
I'll be so lonely till the day that I die
And as long as I live dear you'll still hear me cry

Oh What It Seemed To Be

It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade wall, with costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me

It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars through Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me

And when I kissed you, darlin'
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darlin'
All the things that fate had will for me

It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair with everyone there
'Cause you said, "Yes, I do" to me

It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair with everyone there
'Cause you said, "Yes, I do" to me

Old Age And Treachery

Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.
Ain't too much that we won't do;
What Waylon won't, Willie will.

Even though we've spent our lives,
Chargin' up the wrong side of the hill.
Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.

Some people say that our,
Get up and go's got up and gone.
(I don't know 'bout you Willie but,)
I can still jump as high.
I just can't stay that high that long.

Even though we've spent our lives,
Chargin' up the wrong side of the hill.
Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.

Young bull says: "Old bull,
"Let's run that heiffer down and have a ball."
("Let's make her squawl")
Old bull says: "Young Bull,
"Let's just ease on adown and love 'em all."

Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.
Ain't too much that we won't do;
What Waylon won't, Willie will.

Even though we have spent our lives,
Chargin' up the wrong side of the hill.
Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.

Rosie loves the raquet ball,
She won't do it but her sister will.
Damn, what'd you say that for?
Ain't got a thing to do with this....
I know what you're tryin' to do.
Your tryin' to get half a song.
Ok, we'll put your name on it.

Rosie loves the raquet ball,

She won't do it but her sister will.

Old Five And Dimers Like Me

I've spent the lifetime making up my mind to be
More than the measure of what I thought others could see
Good luck and fast bucks they're too few and too far between
There's catalog buyers and old five and dimers like me
She stood beside me letting me know she would be
Something to lean on if everything ran out on me
Well fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not ever will be
The reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
[ harmonica - guitar ]
It's taking me so long now that I know I believe
All that I do or say is all I ever will be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to see
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be

Old Fords And A Natural Stone

Papa's words ringin' in my ears son you got to get tighter with your tears
Just because she's leaving don't start believing
That your rock'n roll days are gone
Cause nothing lasts forever but old Fords and a natural stone
And when those sad songs and slow hurtin' songs
Get you down while you're alone it won't hurt long
Cause nothing lasts forever like old Fords and a natural stone

Diamonds are forever and these old cars they still keep rolling on
And all those I love you forever's they're just words that can't be depended on
Cause when they're wrong they're wrong and when they're gonethey're gone
Cause nothin' lasts forever but old Fords and a natural stone
Papa's words ringin' in my ears son you got to get tighter with your tears

Old Friends

Old friends pitching pennies in the park
Playing croquet till it's dark old friends
Mhm old friends swapping lies of life and loves
Pitching popcorn to the doves old friends mhm
[ guitar ]
Old friends looking up to watch the birds holding arms to climb a curb
Old friends oh old friends
Old friends Lord when all my work is done bless my life and grant me one
Oold friend at least one old friend
[ sax ]
Old friends looking at the whites...

Old Timer

You had your run
It's been a good one
Seems like the world is passing you by
Oh Father Time
He just keeps on ticking
Still got a lot of life and a song to sing

You fell in love
Back in the day
Can't forget her face
Can't remember her name
She was a beauty
A shining star
Just when you weren't looking she broke your heart

You been down every highway
Burned your share of bridges
You found forgiveness
You think that you're still a young bull rider
Until you look in the mirror and see an old timer

One by one
Your friends have crossed over
You pray for mercy and a few more days
Still got dreams inside your head
Someday it's a struggle just to get out of bed

You been down every highway
Burned your share of bridges
You found forgiveness
You think that you're still a young bull rider
Until you look in the mirror and see an old timer
