Wanton Way of Loving
03:26
|

|
this old town's been talking about my round town ways
whole town's been talking about my round town ways
my wanton way of loving / putting numbers on my days
baby when I met you I was on a spree
baby when I met you I was on a spree
you can't get me down on my bended knee
I saw you walking / walking by
I tried to catch your / catch your eye
why didn't I leave you / didn't I leave you alone
my wanton way of loving / now I'm bound to roam
don't you bat your eye / don't you tell me no lie
don't you bat your eye / don't you tell me no lie
some country boy you ain't got no disguise
I saw you walking / walking by
I tried to catch your / catch your eye
why didn't I leave you / didn't I leave you alone
my wanton way of loving / now I'm bound to roam
I'm bound to roam
I'm bound to roam
I'm bound to roam

The Game
05:04
|

|
come alive
baby I've changed
don't you know that love
is just a game
and feelings never
feel the same
come alive
come to me
in my most secret, tender dreams
now your voice is haunting me
come alive
and I wake to find you sleeping
in the deepest reverie
my heart is burning and aching
do you want to be free?

Lightning Strikes!

hey pretty baby I know what you're thinking
thinking that I think the same thing, too
get up, go get ready / we're going dancing
light it up / we're staying out past two
see me in the corner / lead me out, dear
take me by the hand out to the floor
hold me in your arms / we'll go sailing round and
today is gone / tomorrow nevermore
lightning strikes!
turn it upside down
lightning strikes!
spin me baby, spin me 'round
lightning strikes!
never hits the same place twice
lightning strikes!
you're not taking my advice
turn the key / babe we're starting over
throwing out the things we thought we knew
look my in the eyes / I'm getting older
I hope I'm getting wiser darling too
lightning strikes!
and it's burning on the ground
lightning strikes!
spin me baby spin me 'round
lightning strikes!
never hits the same place twice
lightning strikes!
you're not taking my advice

This Time Last Night
03:59
|
|||
|
two chairs in the kitchen / two cups in the sink
candle wax is dripping / and the sky is turning pink
you were sitting at my table / and drinking all my wine
darling, this time last night you were mine
days they are repeating / as days they tend to do
your memory is fleeting / oh my man, I'm missing you
I'll walk down to the quarter / and I'll purchase number nine
darling, this time last night you were mine
you only hurt the one you love
some people say that's true
but now I know you only hurt
the one who's loving you
now it's raining in Louisiana / the river it will rise
darling, this time last night you were mine
you only hurt the one you love
some people say that's true
but now I know you only hurt
the one who's loving you
now I'm sitting at my table / as the stars begin to shine
darling, this time last night you were mine

Starting Over
02:30
|
|||
|
do you like the life you've got?
maybe sometimes / maybe not
young and gay / you're getting older
do you want another man?
try and find him if you can
say goodbye / you're starting over
people getting stuck in their routine
do you know what living really means?
if you're in a rut / depression really got your gut
say good bye / you're starting over
well I've been to Mexico
seen the Swiss Alps bathed in snow
been around the world a few times over
now the desert beckons me
somewhere I have never seen
au revoir mon cheri / I'm starting over
or we can build a fire in our own backyard
bring the dog and our two guitars
sitting out under the stars / right here where we always are
we'll be fine
it's all right
we're starting over

Friend or Foe
03:40
|
|||
|
are you friend or foe?
see i've really gotta know
friend i'll meet you at the river bend
foe must walk down that road alone
stars are burning / stars they fall
stars aren't even stars at all
in the city / in the street
going to the place we used to meet
baby you smoke yours / i'll smoke mine
in my heart there's no denying
it's your company that i keep
at the bend where the water runs deep
back to the city where the rain falls hard
you'll be strumming on your old guitar
you won't be found if you ain't lost
but i found my baby in Holy Cross
i think i found a brand new day / now i'm really on my way
friend or foe baby tell me straight / we'll be walking to the pearly gates
canyon deep / mountain wide
you and me baby side by side
desert sky and the air so clear
we are far from the city out here
the river's got rhythm and it sings aloud
here it calling out its river sound
lightning flash and i feel the fire
i am searching for my heart's desire
i am ready for my heart's desire
i think i found a brand new day
now i'm really on my way
friend or foe / baby tell me straight
we'll be dancing to the pearly gates

Jump Down Baby
03:14
|
|||
|
well i've got something / something to say
if you wanna hear it well you gotta walk my way
gonna be somebody / someday soon
cause if you think we're really living then we must be dying, too
quit your job now honey / it's up to you
gotta lay around in bed 'cause there's nothing to do
gonna build me a rocket ship / fly to the moon
gonna bring down a star / just for you
you gotta jump down baby
work it out
give me a little shimmy
that's what it's all about
gotta jump down baby
work it out
a little boogie woogie
that's what it's all about

The Yard Dance

|
scratch chicken / whatcha missing
i am just a lonely hen
keep digging through the midden
and i'll find it once again
the old rooster come around
and i told him 'better go'
fancy feathers / he's so proud
look, he's putting on a show
scratch chicken / strut chicken
do the yard dance all day long
scratch chicken / strut chicken
cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song
well the hen's life is a sad life
mean old farmer steal my young
when i'm laying / comes a'praying
puts his hand where it don't belong
scratch chicken / strut chicken
do the yard dance all day long
scratch chicken / strut chicken
cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song

The Key
03:03
|
|||
|
the key is in the switch where it belongs
i have got an itch to go beyond these low lands
if i can
say darling, won't you come along with me?
i know you've been around but there's so much for me to see
through your eyes
i will call my boss down at the bar
tell him, "keep last week's pay because i'm leaving today"
i'm going far
far as i can
been working in a kitchen since i was fourteen
waiting tables, tending bar and everything in between
as a young girl
and if there's one thing i have learned from all this waiting
you've got to go whenever you can
just leave it all behind
the key is in the switch where it belongs
i have got an itch to go beyond these low lands
if i can
if i can
if i can
if i can

Money Tree
02:28
|
|||
|
you put a little money down / a little money down
put a little money down
digging deeper in the ground / deeper in the ground
digging deeper in the ground
we could be so free
under the money tree
dollars grow like leaves
but it's just a dream
she's got the moves downtown / moves downtown
got the moves downtown
shake it all around / shake it all around
shake it all around
we could be so free
under the money tree
dollars grow like leaves
you put a little money down / a little money down
put a little money down
digging deeper in the ground / deeper in the ground
digging deeper in the ground
we could be so free
under the money tree
dollars grow like leaves
but it's just a dream

i want to thank you lord for giving me my mind
want to thank you lord
i want to ask you lord, is it all worthwhile?

i want to ask you lord
