For My Womans Love

Like the first apartment that we had That bumpy little couch that made into a bed The shower down the hall and footsteps overhead She said it's just fine Times were hard for us for quite awhile But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child She tried to ease my mind And for my woman's love For my woman's love Each day I thank the Lord above For my sweet woman's love Through the years of moving town to town Still searching for a dream somehow we nevеr found And wondering if we would evеr settle down Her love never died And if I am anything today I owe it To the love I had along the way No matter what went wrong no matter come what may She stood by my side And for my woman's love For my woman's love Each day I thank the Lord above For my sweet woman's love And for my woman's love For my woman's love Each day I thank the Lord above For my sweet woman's love
Johnstons Motorcar

As down by Brannigan's corner one morning i did stray I met another rebel there, this to me he said "I have orders from our captain to assemble at Dunbar But how are we to get there without a motorcar?" "Well Barney dear be of good cheer I'll tell you what we'll do The British, they are plentiful, the IRA are few We'll send a wire to Johnston before we walk too far And we'll give the boys a jolly good ride in Johnston's Motorcar!" Whеn Doctor Johnston heard the news, soon but on his shoеs He said the case was urgent, little time to lose He wore a fancy castor hat, on his breast a star You could here the din go through Glenfin of Johnston's Motorcar! But when he reached the railway bridge, the rebels he led there And he knew the game was up, so "Dammit!" he declared "I got an English permit to travel near and far!" "You can stick your pass right up your ass we want your motorcar!" "What will my loyal brethren say when they here the news? My car, it's been-a commandeered by the rebels at Dunluce!" They give me a receipt for it, that's signed by Captain Barr "When Ireland gets her freedom, boy, you'll get your motorcar!" They put that car in motion, and filled it to the brim With guns and bayonetts shining, old Johnston hit his grin Then Barney hoisted a Sinn Féin flag, buttered like a star And we gave 3 cheers for the IRA and Johnston's Motorcar!

There's no fool like a young fool I've heard 'em say But I'm not sure that I'm mature enough to walk away even today She's a mistake I made...

There's so many different ways To make a heart out of your hands I'm so sorry that I never learned how And maybe if I had And I had been less sad You'd be holding these hands right now I'm sorry I made you think That I couldn't feel your love I made you feel useless Cause I'm so fucked up And I couldn't fix it And neither could you Nothing either of us said Could get each other through So now I'll cry into my Italian Grinder And I'll save the other half of it for later And I'll scream into my pillow cause we're not together Even though it's so pathetic And I'll grow to regret it I will scream until my lungs collapse I will bend until I break my back Just so I can get some sleep tonight And I'll fall deep into sickly sweet dreams of you Wake up feeling saccharine and blue oh How many nights like this till I get over you Or until I accept the facts that my life is through Cause there's so many different ways To make a heart out of your hands I'm so sorry that I never learned how Maybe if I had And I had been less sad You'd be holding these hand's right now

In the Pines

In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold winds blow My love, my love, what have I done To make you treat me so? You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn You've caused me to lose my home In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold winds blow The longest train I ever saw Went down that Georgia line The engine passed at six o'clock The caboose went by at nine In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold winds blow It's long steel rail and a short cross tie I'm on my way back home In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold winds blow Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Lungs

Now won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that's passing Breath I take and breath I give, pray the day ain't poison Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision My fingers walked the darkness down, mind is on the midnight Gather up the gold you've found, you fool, it's only moonlight If you try to take it home, your hands will turn to butter You better leave this dream alone, try to find another Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who'll kill the raging cancer? Seal the river at its mouth, take the waters prisoner Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answer Now Jesus was an only son and love His only concept Strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep And I for one, and you for two, ain't got the time for outside Keep your injured looks to you, tell the world we tried

[Verse] My bills are all due and the babies need shoes But I'm Busted Cotton's gone down to a quarter a pound And I'm Busted I got a cow that's gone dry And a hen that won't lay A big stack of bills Getting bigger each day The county's going to haul my belongings away But I'm Busted So I called on my brother to ask for a loan Because I was Busted I hate to beg like a dog for a bone But I'm Busted My brother said, "there's not a thing I can do My wife and my kids Are all down with the flu And I was just thinking about calling on you Because I'm Busted Lord, I am not no thief, but a man can go wrong When he's Busted The food that we canned last summer is gone But I'm Busted Now the fields are all bare And the cotton won't grow Me and my family's got to pack up and go But I'll make a living, just where, I don't know Because I'm Busted

The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appears and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night divine, O Holy night, O night divine! A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night divine, O Holy night, O night divine Night divinе

Green Green Grass of Home

[Verse:] There were signs beside the road like "Jesus Saves" And "Relieve yourself the fast and gentle way" I was lookin' for an old man who lived way back in these hills Who just might have a story I could tell Pretty soon the blacktop disappeared I felt the car change to a lower gear I took a drink of liquor just to chase away the chill I was 27 miles from Olive Hill Ahead I saw the bridge where I turned right A dirt road led straight up a mountainside I pulled up to a farmhouse I thought I had seen before An old man and his dog were at the door They told me this old-timer knew this land I told him, "Sir, I just don't understand Why the kids in this state just grow up and move away And leave the land where they were born and raised." He said, "Son, you can't make it on this land Unless you're happy workin' with your hands There ain't no kids today that wanna stay and work it out They wanna see the things they hear about." He said, "I cleared this whole farm off myself And I'd work it now but time has got my health." Then starin' out the window restin' in his easy chair He told me what I'd really come to hear "You know, son, people used to tell their kids 'Now, I don't want you to have to work the way I did.' They don't and some will tell you that it's a shame But you have to think before you place the blame." I guess we must have talked for half a day 'Til I told him that I'd best be on my way He shook my hand and said, "I'm glad I met you, Mr. Hall But I guess there ain't no song here after all."

[Verse 1] She was storming through the house that day And I could tell she was leaving And I thought, aw, she'll be back Till she turned around and pointed at the wall and said [Verse 2] That picture from our honeymoon That night in Frisco Bay Just give it away She said, give it away And that big four-poster king-size bed Where so much love was made Just give it away She said, just give it away [Chorus] Just give it away There ain't nothing in this house worth fighting over Oh, and we're both tired of fighting anyway Just give it away [Bridge] So I tried to move on But I found that each woman I held Just reminded me of that day Hmm [Verse 3] When that front door swung wide open She flung her diamond ring Said, give it away Just give it away And I said, now, honey, don't you even want Your half of everything She said, give it away Just give it away [Chorus] Just give it away There ain't nothing in this house worth fighting over Oh, and we're both tired of fighting anyway Just give it away [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 4] So I'm still right here where she left me Along with all the other things She don't care about anymore Mmm, like that picture from our honeymoon That night in Frisco Bay She said, give it away Well, I can't give it away And that big four-poster king-size bed Where all our love was made She said, give it away Well, I can't give it away [Outro] I've got a furnished house, a diamond ring And a lonely broken heart Full of love and I can't even give it away

Shady Tree

In a lazy little town just about a mile from nowhere There's an old man sitting under a shady tree As the hot sun makes its round he just sits there on the ground In the shade he can let his mind run free Inside his head there's music playing Old time songs way from good days gone by Sometimes he smiles at the echo of a saying Sometimes he looks up to the sky On the porch across the street, in a red old rocking chair Sweet old women keeps looking at the shady tree As the evening sun goes down, old man gets up from the ground She smiles she knows his mind is free Inside his head there's music playing Old time songs way from good days gone by Sometimes he smiles at the echo of a saying Sometimes he looks up to the sky

Sad Ole Shade Of Grey

We've had some good we've had some bad but mostly in-between Used words like love words like hate and words we didn't mean We've put it down we've patched it up we both have had our say Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray Neither one of us was always right neither one was always strong We never put I love you in the place where it belonged When one was up the other was down and love can't grow that way Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray You'll find a love to take my place and I'll find me someone For when it's all been said and done more was said than done So you take yours and I'll take mine We'll go our separate ways Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray
Barney

Yesterday morning, the snow came at last The cattle all came down from the hill Barney, he's been crippled for quite a long while now His old legs stiffened there in the chill Since coming up from Texas, he's been owned by many And he's been rodeo'd and knocked all around So to bury him deep, before the ground got too hard That morning I put Barney down We walked up the hill through the dead brown grass Barney, a rifle, and I And tying him quickly, I took aim and I fired In hopes he'd feel nothing and die But with a heart such as he had, he clung so to life Busted his halter and staggered away He was coughing his blood, still fighting to stand He pitched forward and died where he lay As I drove into town, I started to cry Where no one could see or could care And the sadness cut through me as I stared through my tears At rush hour's oncoming glare And I wept for my season of youth past and done And for things that I thought I forgot But mostly I cried for an honest brown horse Who gave me much more than he got

What a Mans Got to Do

There's six hundred dollars tucked into his jeans Burnin' a hole in his heart He stares at the phone in a cheap motel And he knows that it won't get him far Got a half-busted shoulder on a bull down in Houston There once was a time that he didn't mind losin' But it's all on the line now and then some too And he just don't know what to do There's a Greyhound Station with a midnight ride That'd take him back home before dawn And he could pick up that phone and hear her voice on the line And like a flash of wild lightnin' be gone But another bus leaves for Laredo at sunrise As he fights back the tears fallin' down from his blue eyes He whispers her name and a prayer to get through 'Cause he just don't know what to do It's a hundred year story of struggle and strife It's the pain and the glory of every cowboy's life When there's just enough money to ride or go home You fall down for good or you get back on There's a chute flyin' open down in Laredo Texas The crowd comes alive with the rush There's a cowboy spinnin' and a Brahma-cross buckin' He's ridin' all out or bust He's fightin' and spurrin' They're twistin' and turnin' And inside the fire it just keeps on burnin' And he calls when it's over to say I love you But a man's got to do what a man's got to do

[Verse 1] Anyone caught speaking Esperanto Is thought crazy or headed for jail There's peace in the wilds of West Texas Where the sun and the sky prevail Take no notice of the rising waters Take no notice where rivers run dry They'll be digging through the landfills To find evidence of our great demise [Chorus] There's a changing pattern before us And the past tells the story quite well By the time we make it to Barstow We'll be more than halfway to hell [Verse 2] Waves of adverts that promise revival Trinket-ware that batters the brain The devil bought the key to Branson Drives a backhoe and wears a gold chain Now we're living in the unnamed time frame Bets in Reno are on the human race Woke up in another test market With a new headache filter in place [Chorus] There's a changing pattern before us And the past tells the story quite well By the time we make it to Barstow We'll be more than halfway to hell [Outro] (Ooh, ooh, mmm) By the time we make it to Barstow We'll be more than halfway to hell
