1.River In The Rain
River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care
If you're on the run winding someplace
Just trying to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River i love you just the same
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more than i did the day before
River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more, than l did the day before
River in the rain,
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River i've never seen the sea
2.Some Hearts Get All The Breaks
Some hearts have all the fun
They fall in love with one
And once is all it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks
Some people never cry
Life just goes flying by
They don't make no mistakes
Some hearts get all the breaks
Then there are foolish hearts like mine
Time after time, and time again
They play the game
But they never seem to win
I guess i'll never learn
Some hearts got love to burn
I guess that's what it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks
Then there are foolish hearts like mine
Time after time, and time again
They play the game
But they never seem to win
I guess i'll never learn
Some hearts got love to burn
I guess that's what it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks
3.Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go
Do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
Maybe lay and let your feelings grow accustomed to the dark
And by morning's light, you might solve the problems of the
heart
And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings everyday
Tell me not to reach and i'll go away
Do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
4.Guv'ment
Well, you dad-gum government

5.You Oughta Be Here With Me
If you think it's lonesome where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me
If you think there's heartaches where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me

So if you think about me where you are tonight

If teardrops are fallin' where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me
Loneliness calling where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me

6.Hand For The Hog
Well, i always heard but i ain't to sure
That a man's best friend is a mangy cur
I kinda favor the hog myself
How about a hand for the hog
Ya say, a hog ain't nothin' but a porky thing
Little forked freet with a nosy ring
Pickle them feet folks
How about a hand for the hog
If you took a notion i'll bet
A good hog would make a hell of a pet
You could teach him to ride and hunt
You could clean him up and let him sit up front
In the scheme of things the way things go
You might get bit by the old fido
But not by the gentle porker friend.
How about a hand for the hog
A feller and a hog had a comedy act
The feller was terrible as a matter of fact
That hog was a funny sucker though
How about a hand for the hog
If you took a notion i bet
You could teach a hog to smoke a cigarette
Well it might take a little bit of time
But hell, what's time to a hog
Well, the way i see it' it looks like this
Either you ain't or either you is
A true blue lover of the swine, folks
How about a hand for the hog
7.Arkansas
Well, i aint never travelled much
But someday when the money's such
I'd like to see the world and all
And maybe go through arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But i just love ole arkansas
I'd like to get my picture took
Put it in my memory book
And someday hang it on my wall
To say that i'd seen arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But i just love ole arkansas
My grandpa was always good
I'd play horsey on his foot
He'd tell me when i'd get tall
We'd both go see arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But i just love ole arkansas
Arkansas, arkansas
I sure love old arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But i just love ole arkansas
8.Indian Giver
I'm giving up on you
And i've been feeling that way for a day or two
Somehow i think you know good and well why
I sit here all alone, cryin'
Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in
I'll go away somewhere
And wether or not you miss me, i won't care
And somehow i think you know good and well why
I won't be cryin' when i say goodbye
Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in
I'll be satisfied
When i know you know all the tears i've cried
Somehow i think you know good and well we
Could've been together for eternity
Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in
9.Days Of Our Wives
She watches the soaps and pins all her hopes and her dreams
She lets her mind drift with the scripts that unfold on the
screen
She can't live like they live but each day she sits there and
tries
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our wives
One life to live, one heart to give to her man
She's raising her babies and doing the best that she can
So she watches the soaps and sometimes just sits there and cries
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our wives
So fly away heart on the wings of make believe things
It's nice to pretend and maybe cry at the end
So she watches the soaps and sometimes just sits there and cries
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our wives
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our wives
10.Muddy Water
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And i got a need for goin' someplace
And i got a need to climb upon your back and ride
You can look for me when you see me comin'
I may be runnin' i don't know
I may be tired and runnin' fever
But i'll be headed south to the mouth of the ohio
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And i got a need for goin' someplace
And i got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Well, i been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrow's comin' in
But i put my pole to the river bottom
And i've got to hide someplace and find myself again
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And i got a need for goin' someplace
And i got a need to climb upon your back and ride
