Thunderhead Hawkins
I know a cabin down there in Tennessee
Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees
And Old Perry Foster he got something to say
And you can smell the pigs cuz' they been cookin' all day
[CHORUS]
I don't need no critics
I don't need no suits
I just need somebody who can tell me the truth
You can keep your opinions
You can keep on walkin'
I'm gonna raise my glass yeah to Thunderhead Hawkins
[REPEAT TWICE]
Miss Mary Jane she always looks like a star
But the rock n roll banker likes to sleep in his car
You won't hear no opry you'll hear six strings
And you won't know what to do when you hear Thunderhead sing
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Now Mr. Hawkins got a family tree
He got that their legendary cabin down in Tennessee
You know he'll hook up that guitar everybody gather round
You stay close to the fire when the sun goes down
Old Brother Merle he's always waiting in the wings
Only man up in them woods wearin' all them gold rings
Old Mr. Hawkins he won't do nobody wrong
But he'll he'll tear your heart out with one sad song
[REPEAT CHORUS]

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:

Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Platinum Blonde Life
I'm closing all the curtains
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
But who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way
[Chorus:]
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
Where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna sleep all trough the day
I'm gonna asleep my life away
I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it'll go away

I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it will go away

Please Come To Boston
Please come to Boston
For the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends
And they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said no, boy you come home to me
Chorus:
(And) She said, hey ramblin' boy
Why don't you settle down
(Boston, Denver, L.A.) ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold
And there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan
Of the man from Tennessee
Please come to Denver
To see the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains
So far that we can't be found
And throw I love you echos
Down the canyons
And then lie awake at night
Until they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said no boy you come home to me
Repeat Chorus:
Now this drifter's world
Goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
And of all the dreams
I lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I need someone I can cling to
Somebody i can sing to
please come to L.A.
To live forever
A California life alone
Is just too hard to live
We'll live in a house that
Looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars
That fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to L.A.
She said no
Boy, you come home to me

Miss You
Chorus:
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do

I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
and who's been with you
Is you're heart still mine
I want to cry sometimes
I miss you
Verse 1:
Off to college
Yes you ran away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends
Awesome lovers
Did everything for one another
Now you're gone
And I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow
Come back to me

Hear me (callin' for you)
For you

Now I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still care
I don't want to let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life
You got to concentrate
Baby
Come back to me
Can you hear me (callin')
Hear me (callin' for you)
For you
(repeat chorus 2x)

Cowgirl & The Dandy
In the airport lounge, he sat with his cane and durby hat
The grandest man that i had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So i asked him if he'd like some company
In my rhinestone-studded suit
And my cowgirl high-heel boots
I must have been a site for him to see
But he said, "pull up a chair"
As i fumble with my hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see
I was mogan david wine
He was chablis fifty-nine
But there we sat
The cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in aspen
And summers in paris
I was grand ole opry nashville, tennessee
Chorus:
The cowgirl and the dandy
As different as can be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in tennessee
Then somewhere in between
His harvey's bristol cream
And the beer that i kept sippin' at his table
We somehow came together for a night of stormy wheater
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cabin
An' there's a little country in the dandy
Repeat chorus
I was mogan david wine
He was chablis fifty-nine
But there we sat

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves
Chorus:
Id like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
Id like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(thats the song I hear)
Id like to see the world for once
(let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
Thats the song I hear
(thats the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

Put your hand in my hand
Help me find a way

Tennesee Homesick Blues
New york city ain't no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at you funny
They take it wrong
The greenest state in the land of the free
And the home of the grand ole opry
Is calling me back to my smoky mountain home
I wish i had my old fishin' pole
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite
Life ain't as simple as it used to be
Since the big apple took a bite out of me
And lord, i'm so tennessee homesick that i could die
Chorus:
But i ain't been home in i don't know when
If i had it all to do over again
Tonight i'd sleep in my old feather bed
What i wouldn't give for a little bitty taste
Of mama's homemade chocolate cake
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head
Mama you can fluff my feather bed
Just as soon as i can i'm gonna head
Back to the tennessee hills and it better be soon
Daddy you can load the rifles up
We're gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck
And take off to calhoun country and catch us a coon
Repeat chorus
Eatin' grits and gravy and country ham
Go to church on sunday with dinner on the grounds
Tennessee homesick blues are runnin' through my head
Repeat chorus
Good lord have mercy on a country girl
Tryin' to make a living in a rhinestone world
It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
With tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head
I've got those tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head

Phony roses blossomed where he bled
Then all the cheering angels shook my hand and said...

Before you throw me in your dungeon dark
You oughta film me putting statues up in every park

That Im the one who freed us from this mess
Love wont be calling at your address

Dont want to surrender anymore to the likes

Dont want a pretender to show me what
To do.

When there aint no hope.
Theres no political system gonna satisfy me.

Is all that virtue gonna save your skin.

Therell be no turning back.
Then what of your gold and your shammy

Winter sounds the crying
Like an old man slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon
And though it never seems too soon
A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze
(chorus)
Im mr blue
Im here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When youre lonely - Ill be lonely too
(repeat)
A young girl, she is shaded
Bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on christmas day
While the heavens sing their song
A childs life is never long
cos the food supplies will only last a day
(chorus repeat)
Patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion
After all theres really no-one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders, cos we must defend the borders
Of our nation (and the other sides the same)

When all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you, till the early morning dew
You cant hear me, you cant see
But you can feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you

(This Is) A Song For The Lonely
When your standing on the edge of no where,
And there's a litle love way up,
so your hearts gotta go there,
through the darkest night,
see the light shine bright,
when hero's fall,
in love or war,
they live forever,
(Chorus)
This is a song, for the lonely,
can you hear me tonight,
for the broken hearted,
battle scared,
i'll be by your side,
and this is a song, for the lonely,
when your dreams wont come true,
can you hear this prayer,
coz someones there,
for you...
Love don't need a reason,
she can pick you up and leave you bleeding,
ive seen a strong man cry,
i no the reason why,
we all forgive,
we all forget,
and just keep believing...
(repeat chorus)
dont give up,
so let it find you,
just hold on,
where ever you may go,
here me now,
im right beside you,
you dont have to look no more
you dont have to look no more
oh no
(repeat chorus)
its gonna be alright
its gonna be alright
its gonna be alright
coz this is a song, for the lonely,
can you hear me tonight,
and thats not you lonely,
this is a song, for the lonely,
through the darkest night,
your gonna see the light,
this is a song, for the lonely,
love just picks you up,
can you hear me tonight,
to leave you bleeding,
and this is a song, for the lonely
when your dreams wont come true,
can you hear this prayer,
coz someones there,

I Will Be Waiting For You
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
Then how can we say forever
CHORUS:
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can't you see it baby
You got me going crazy
REPEAT CHORUS:
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive this romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
