1.Husbands And Wives
Two broken hearts lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives,
It's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man, a man and a woman some can,
And some can, and some can't.
Two broken hearts lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives,
It's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives
Husbands and wives
2.I've Been A Long Time Leavin'(But I'll Be A Long Time Gone)
I've been a fool, i've been a foo-ooo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time you done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but i'll be a long time gone
Loved you so much, loved you so mu-u-huuuch
I stayed around when i should've moved along
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but i'll be a long time gone
I say hi there high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he whoops the big legs on my levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop
I've been a fool, i've been a foo-oo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but i'll be a long time gone
I say hi there high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he's whoopin' the big legs on my levi's
Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop
I've been a fool, i've been a foo-oo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but i'll be a long time gone
Gone gone gone
Gone gone gone
3.Little Green Apples
And i wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and
she says hi
And i stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going
off to school, goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it and says
how you feeling hon？
And i look across at smiling lips that warm my heart, and see my
morning sun.
And if that's not loving me, then all i've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in
indianapolis in the summer time.
And there's no such thing as dr. seuss or disney land and mother
goose, no nursery rhymes.
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in
indianapolis in the summer time.
And when myself is feeling low, i think about her face and go
and ease my mind.
Sometimes i call her up, at home, knowing she's busy.
And ask her if she can get away, meet me and maybe we can grab a
bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doing and she hurries down to meet me,
and i'm always late.
But she sits waiting patiently, and smiles when she first sees
me, because she's made that way.
And if that ain't loving me, then all i've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't snow in
minneapolis when the winter comes.
And there's no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs or autumn
leaves, no bb guns.
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't snow in
minneapolis when the winter comes.
4.Loving Her Was Easier
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the
skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she
flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as i lay
dying
Healing as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her
eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and places that i've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that i never thought of
tring
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling that i've never known
before
In my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
And i don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every
door
In my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again
5.Me And Bobby Mcgee
Busted flat in baton rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly
faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all
the way to new orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song that
driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy lord when bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and bobby
mcgee
From the coal mines of kentucky to the california sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me lord through everything i done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near salinas lord i let her slip away
Lookin' for the home i hope she'll find
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday holdin'
bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy lord when bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and bobby
mcgee
6.My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died
My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died
Who'll bid me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys
Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries
I'll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then i need a ride
(thanks steve)
My uncle used to love me but she died
My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to live me but she died
Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligater
One more time around free on the ferris wheel ride
My uncle used to love me but she died
My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to live me but she died
Apples are for eatin and snakes are for hissin
I've heard about a'huggin and i've heard about kissin
I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide
My uncle used to love me but she died
My uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to live me but she died
Well my uncle used to love but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to live me but she died
7.Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted
hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Ruby, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
But i was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And it's true i'm not the man, ruby, that i used to be
Ruby, i still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, ruby i realize
But it won't be long i've heard them say until i'm not around
Oh ruby, don't take your love to town
She's leavin' now 'cause i just heard the slamming of the door
The way i know i've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if i could move i'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Ruby, don't take your love to town
For god's sake turn around
Don't take your love to town
8.South
Hot afternoon, sometime in june
Sittin' on the front porch waitin' on the moon
Talkin' to my neighbor next door ain't never ever very much fun
Go get my car, and my guitar, ride through town with the top
down
Maybe i could buy me some beer, run out and look at the farms
And they call it the south, it's the land of the free
It lost the only war it ever fought in history
But i love the south, it's the land of the free
It's the land of hush your mouth, 'n joe south
And that's home to me
She was born in '52, she finished in a mississippi school
And something about her that turns you on
She's different, like another world
And you can tell she's not a new york girl
And something about her kiss that takes you home
But she was born in the south, memphis, tennessee
She was rich in looks from a poor memphis family
But she will stay in the south, it's the land of the free
It's the land of hush your mouth, 'n joe south
And that's home to me
California, i love you, your hills are high and your oceans blue
In la there's always something to do, and you're never alone
But i like fall,and i like spring, i love snow and i love rain
And there's something about la i can't call home
I guess i'll stay in the south, it's the land of the free
It lost the only war it ever fought in history
But i love the south, it's the land of the free
It's the land of hush your mouth, 'n joe south
And that's home to me...
9.The Tom Green County Fair
10.Tomorrow Night In Baltimore
Her head rolls back and forth
Against the billows of her long black shiny hair
As she contemplates the ecstasy
Of some other love that now she wished was there
If she could only realise that the love i have could beckon her
command
Instead of laughing endlessly and pushing back advances with her
hands
Every night i see her leaves a nightmare of illusions when she's
gone
And it leaves a longing feeling in a man with a pain that
lingers on
The gaudy goodbye can't replace the girlish giggle of her sweet
hello
But tonight i've made my crumbled mind up that i'll never ever
let her go
Too many nights i've watched her tease
By shifting all her weight from hip to hip
And with her hands brush back the falling strands
That cover up her satin lips
She struts upon the stage and her fallen victims are calling out
for more
But she leaves them stranded helplessly and exits to her
dressing room door
Tonight i'm gonna take her, i've infiltrated past the guarded
door
But she just hurries by me carrying all those scanty costumes
that she wore
And she asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat if he would open up
the door
Then she told him to load the baggage
Because they open tomorrow night in baltimore
God' if i have to crawl, i'm gonna be there tomorrow night in
baltimore
11.Walking In The Sunshine
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
La la la la la dee oh,
Whether the weather be rain or snow
Pretending can make it real
A snowy pasture, a green and grassy field
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
La la la la la dee oh,
Whether the weather be rain or snow
Pretending can make it real
A snowy pasture, a green and grassy field
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
Think about a good time had a long time ago
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes
Walking in the sunshine, sing a little sunshine song
Walking in the sunshine, singing a little sunshine song
Put a smile upon your face as if there's nothing wrong
