Railroad Lady

She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker but the fast rails they took her
Now she's trying just trying to get home again

South station in Boston to the stockyards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
She's trying just trying to get back home again
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady spending her days on a train
Once a pullin' car traveler now a breakment won't have her
She's trying just trying to get home again

Once a high-balling loner thought he could own her
And he bought her a fur coat and a big dimaond ring
But she hug in for cold cash left down on the Wabash
Never thinking never thinking of home way back then
But the rails are now rusty and the dining car's dusty
The gold plated watches are taking their gold
The railroads're dying and the lady is crying
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal
She's a railroad lady...
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again

Rainin' In My Heart

Rainin' in my heart
Since we've been apart
I know, I was wrong
Baby, please come home
You got me cryin'
'Bout to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain
Try my love just once again
Honey, I need your love
Darlin', you know why
If you would come back home
There'll be no need for me to cry
Rainin' in my heart
Since we've been apart
I know, I was wrong
Baby, please come home

Rainy Day Blues

Well it's cloudy in the morning gonna be raining in the afternoon
Cloudy in the morning and it's gonna be raining in the afternoon
If you don't like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move

But if you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
If you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
Is the road that leads to nowhere and nowhere is a fool like me

Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Ain't never seen so much rainy weather guess I'll never see the sun again

[guitar + harmonica]

Save those dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day
Save your dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day
It ain't gonna keep the rain from coming but at least you know you've paid your way

Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Ain't never seen so much rainy weather guess I'll never see the sun again

Ramblin' Fever

My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
I don't leave the highway long enough
To bog down in the mud
I've got ramblin' fever in my blood

Caught this ramblin' fever long ago
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow
If someone said, I ever gave a damn
Man, they damn sure told you wrong
I've had ramblin' fever all along

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease

There's times that I'd like to bed down on a sofa
And let some pretty lady rub my back
And spend the early mornin' drinkin' coffee
Talkin' about when I'll be comin' back

But I don't let no no woman, tie me down
And I never get too old to get around
I want to die along the highway and rot away
Like some old high-line pole
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease

Ramblin' fever
Ramblin' fever

Red Headed Stranger

The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana,
Rode into town one day.
And under his knees was a ragin' black stallion,
And walkin' behind was a bay.
The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder,
And his lips, they were sad and tight.
His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside,
And his heart was heavy as night.
Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.

A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window,
An' watched as he passed her way.
She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion,
But cast greedy eyes on the bay.
But how could she know that this dancin' bay pony,
Meant more to him than life.
For this was the horse that his little lost darlin',
Had ridden when she was his wife.

Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.

The yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern,
An' looked up the stranger there.
He bought her a drink, an' he gave her some money,
He just didn't seem to care.
She followed him out as he saddled his stallion,
An' laughed as she grabbed at the bay.
He shot her so quick, they had no time to warn her,
She never heard anyone say:

"Don't cross him, don't boss him.
"He's wild in his sorrow:
"He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
"Don't fight him, don't spite him;
"Just wait till tomorrow,
"Maybe he'll ride on again."

The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset;
The stranger went free, of course.
For you can't hang a man for killin' a woman,
Who's tryin' to steal your horse.
Tthis is the tale of the red headed stranger,
And if he should pass your way,
Stay out of the path of the ragin' black stallion,
And don't lay a hand on the bay.

Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.

Release Me

I heard the old man say we need the rain
And I can feel it in my bones they're aching
I watched the sky and wait and wish these waters ease my pain
Because my will is breaking

If you get next to me and help me find simplicity
Then you could be the one to take me,
To break me and find my soul

Could you be the one to release me? (oh release me)
Waiting for your love
Oh to free me, so release me

Grey clouds, they infiltrate as every move you make
Gets me closer to clarity
While droplet drummers lead a complex beat increasing speed
Somehow accompanies our intensities

At first this cloud burst is pulling us under
Lightning and thunder, rain falls and you take me under
And find my self

Could you be the one to release me? (oh release me)
Waiting for your love
Oh to free me, so release me

So take off your shoes and stay awhile
This might be the right time tonight
If it makes you feel good
Then it makes me feel alright

We should take down the curtains now
And make blankets here on the floor
The torrential downpour, the potential for more
I seize to fight this tension that ignites us in the dark
Cause tension causes friction and this friction leads to sparks

The rain has filled this cup and, before it over flows,
I wanna take you in now here it goes

Could you be the one to release me? (oh release me)
Waiting for your love
Oh to free me, so release me

Could you be the one to release me? (oh release me)
We have just begun
You release me, oh release me

Remember Me (when The Candle Lights Are Gleaming)

You told me once that you were mine alone forever
And I was yours till the end of eternity
But all those vows are broken now and we will never be the same except in memory
Remember me when the candle lights're gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me
[ guitar - piano ]
A brighter face may take my place when we're apart dear
Another love with a heart more bold than free
But in the end fearweather friends may break your heart dear
If they do sweetheart remember me
Remember me when the candle...
Just to know you still remember me

Remember The Good Times

Remember the good times they're smaller in number and easier to recall
Don't spend too much time on the bad times
They're staggering in number and will be heavy as lead on your mind

Don't waste a moment unhappy invaluable moments gone with the leakage of time
As we leave on our own separate journeys
Moving west with the sun to a place buried deep within our minds
Remember the good times...

Ridin' Down The Canyon

When evening chores are over at our rach house on the plains
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
To watch the desert sun go down

Ridin' down the canyon just to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artis ever could paint
White faced cattlow lowin' on the mountain trail
I hear a coyote whinin' for its mate
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush everywhere
Granite spoires are standing all around
I tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail
To watch the desert sun go down
[ guitar ]
Cactus plants are bloomin'...
To watch the desert sun go down
