1.I Got You
(dwight yoakam)
I've had to buy back damn near everything i own
From a little man who's name is saul
And has a lot of money to loan
I drive a beat up '67 chevrolet
With a torn up seat
That pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day
I got a letter from the folks over at bell
Just to let me know for my next phone call
I could walk outside and yell
Hey, i know my life seems a mess
But honey, things to me still look real swell
Chorus：
'cause i've got you to see me through
Yeah, i've got you to chase my blues
I've got you to ease my pain
Yeah, i've got you, girl, to keep me sane
So let them do what they want to do
'cause it don't matter as long as i've got you
I've got the landlord breathing down my neck for rent
He don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent
And after all those years of payin' union dues
It sure didn't seem to count for much when we got our layoff
news
I got a note from the man over at the bank
Said the next 10 gallons of gas i buy won't be going in my tank
Hey, i know i might seem near dead
But honey, i think i might just get well
Chorus：
'cause i've got you to see me through
Yeah, i've got you to chase my blues
I've got you to ease my pain
Honey, i've got you, girl, to keep me sane
So let them do what they want to do
'cause it don't matter as long as i've got you
Yeah, let them go right ahead and sue
'cause it don't matter as long as i've got you
2.One More Name
(dwight yoakam)
My friends tried to tell me you were steppin' around
But i wouldn't hear it, i shut them all down
But now i'm a thinkin' you've made a fool out of me
'cause the words that are slippin' spell grief and misery
Chorus：
One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and i'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die
Haunted and tortured by the rumors about you
Listening in silence to whispers of truth
Deceived by the soft kiss you forge every day
While each night those same lips give your secret away
Chorus：
One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and i'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die
Repeat chorus
3.What I Don't Know
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
What i don't know might not hurt me
If i stay dumb and no one tells
But if i find out that you've been cheatin'
What i don't know might get you killed
Death row in prison don't look half as bad
As a life filled with heartache over you
So if you're a playin' those dirty little games
You better pray that i don't find out the truth
Chorus：
'cause what i don't know might not hurt me
If i stay dumb and no one tells
But if i find out that you've been cheatin'
What i don't know might get you killed
Smith and wesson juries hold a real mean, nasty court
And the verdict that they pass is never slow
So keep on a wearin' that little poker face
'cause soon enough your cards will have to show
Chorus：
And i don't know might not hurt me
If i stay dumb and no one tells
But if i find out that you've been cheatin'
What i don't know might get you killed
4.Home Of The Blues
(johnny cash, glenn douglas, lillie mcalpine)
Just around the corner there's a heartache
Down the road all losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops my friend
I'll meet you at the home of the blues
I walk and i cry as my heartache
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
It's dark here at the home of the blues
But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that i cry
Dreams that i've had left me feeling so bad
That i just want to lay right down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
I'll meet you at the home of the blues
But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that i cry
Dreams that i've had left me feeling so bad
That i just want to lay right down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
You're welcome at the home of the blues
I'll take you to the home of the blues
5.Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room(She Wore Red Dresses)
(dwight yoakam)
She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies
I never knew him but he took her away
On my knees like a madman for vengeance i prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind
I searched till i found them, then i cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence i placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead
6.I Hear You Knockin'
(j.d. miller)
Chorus：
I hear you knockin'
I hear you callin'
I hear you every time you say my name
But it's too late, baby
Your calling's all in vain
I hear you cryin'
You done the lyin'
You tried to cheat
Baby, you're to blame
But it's too late, baby
Your cryin's all in vain
I packed my suitcase
I bought my ticket
It won't be long and i'll be on my way
'cause i'm a leavin', yeah i'm a leavin'
And i'm going away to stay
Chorus：
I hear you knockin'
I hear you callin'
I hear you every time you say my name
But it's too late, baby
Your calling's all in vain
I packed my suitcase
I bought my ticket
It won't be long and i'll be on my way
'cause i'm a leavin', yeah i'm a leavin'
And i'm going away to stay
Chorus：
I hear you knockin'
I hear you callin'
I hear you every time you say my name
But it's too late, baby
Your calling's all in vain
I hear you knockin'
I hear you callin'
I hear you every time you say my name
But it's too late, baby
Your calling's all in vain
I hear you knock, knock, knock
I hear you call, call, call
I hear you every time you say my name
But it's too late, baby
Your calling's all in vain
7.I Sang Dixie
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
I sang dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as i cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So i sang dixie as he died
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there aren't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old l.a. street
Then he drew a dying breathe
And laid his head against my chest
Please lord, take his soul back home to dixie
Chorus：
I sang dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as i cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So i sang dixie as he died
He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me？
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, now he's safe back home in dixie
Chorus：
I sang dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as i cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So i sang dixie as he died
I sang dixie as he died
8.Streets Of Bakersfield
(homer joy)
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, i'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of bakersfield
Chorus：
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield？
Spent some time in san francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that i'd steal
Then i thanked him as i was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of bakersfield
Chorus：
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield？
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield？
How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield？
9.Floyd County
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
It's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans
'cause it's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
The six children he raised are all weepin'
For this soft-spoken mountain man
Who fed them with the money he earned in those black mines
And the food he could raise with his hands
Chorus：
It's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans
'cause it's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom
Or the honest and simple things he did
There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today
That know about the humble way he lived
Chorus：
It's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans
'cause it's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Now this house in the holler stands empty
Though his presence in my memory is plain
You know i'd swear that i just saw him walkin' up that hill
I guess this place just won't never be the same
Chorus：
It's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans
'cause it's a sad day in floyd county, mr. jones
10.Send Me The Pillow
(hank locklin)
Chorus：
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that i still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So, darlin', i can dream on it, too
Each night while i'm sleeping, oh so lonely
I'll share your love and dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So, darlin', i can dream on it, too
Chorus：
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So, darlin', i can dream on it, too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory is all that is left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So, darlin', i can dream on it, too
So, darlin', i can dream on it, too
11.Hold On To God
(dwight yoakam)
Written and performed for my mother, ruth ann, without whose
love and support i would not have survived at three months or
thirty years of age. your hands will always guide my heart.
Chorus：
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In his everlasting word
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
In this life's storm-tossed sea
Cling to jesus, his lifeline
It will salvation bring
Satan shall lead down a pathway of sin
Away from your heavenly home
With many great wonders, many great signs
Deceiving all but the strong
Chorus：
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In his everlasting word
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
In this life's storm-tossed sea
Cling to jesus, his lifeline
It will salvation bring
Be not misled by miraculous deeds
Performed in the name of the lamb
For he shall return as a thief in the night
To claim his own once again
Chorus：
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In his everlasting word
Hold on, hold on, hold on to god
In this life's storm-tossed sea
Cling to jesus, his lifeline
It will salvation bring
