Amarillo
The time has come,
Youre really leavinyou always told me that
You wanted to
I guess I never thought
It would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is calling you and
You must answer
But you can take me with you
In you drams
If you ever get back to amarillo
In a shiny new car or
Worn out shoes
If you ever get back to amarillo
Ill be waitinfor you
Your sister told me you were workinat some office out in tinsel town
Dont forget about those who
Love you
Theyll be there for you if you
Get down
I believe in you and all youre after
I hope you end up where you
Want to be
Chorus
Thirty years now have
Gone by quickly
I still think of you from time to time
My wife died early, Ive got children
Im happy and my health is fine
I often wondered if you found your
Freedom
I sometimes wonder if I should
Have gone

Just To See You Smile
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from bein made of gold
I dont know how that I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leavin amarillo
To take that new job in tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I cant forget the way you looked at me
Chorus:
Just to see you smile
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cuz leavin didnt hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance Id lie again
(repeat chorus)
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile

Finding Me
I dont think you notice
When you see my face
I guess youre waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But youre coming back again
You dont mean to waste my time
But youre coming back so
Chorus
Dont tell me
How to be
cause I like some suffering
Dont ask me
What I need
Im just fine
Here finding me
Me
Ive already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who Im talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know its touching
But Ive been out of touch
And its all that I can do
Im a sight for my sore eyes
But its all I am so
Chorus
I dont think you notice
When I cant reach out
I guess youre waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
Its all been said before
Im hearing something
But I wish youd just say more
But youre going off again
When I try to just hold on
But youre going off so

Bleeders
Once upon a time
They called me the bleeder
Well swimmin up this river
With sentimental fever
But this aint my first ride
It aint my last try
Just got to keep a-movin on
If they catch me ever
Theyll throw me back forever
Chorus:
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say youre only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed
I sent it off in a letter
I need somethin better
Than a nail and a hammer
To put me back together
But this aint my first ride
It aint my last try
Just got to keep a-movin on
Got to keep this together
Maybe next time is never
(chorus)
Sometimes I must confess
I do feel a little over dressed
Sometimes its hard to tell the wishing from the well
Where you threw the penny and where it fell
I guess I should I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say youre only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed

What Are You Gonna Do
When you are alone,
You come back cryin and you want to go home;
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Was your idea to pack up and go.
You said you had no life of your own.
Movin in was not too hard to do.
Ya got second thoughts; youre gonna have to choose.
Chorus:
What are you gonna do ?
Forget about your mother and think about you.
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Told you all the secrets that were mine.
The good things that I picked up overtime.
Wont accept the reason why youre here;
Talk things out; overcome the fear.
Chorus
Chorus
Thought that I was all that you need,
You told me things I wanted to believe.
You know that leaving me would be wrong;
Stay with me, Ill help you to be strong.

Back On The Street Again
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself Id get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough
You light up my face
Youre jokes and youre smiles
And the way that you came every night
I dont know whatcha got
But I sure glad I found you
Dont get me wrong it sure feels right
Chorus:
Here I am, Im back on the street again
Here I am, Im back on my feet again
Surprise at myself for the way that I feel
So happy that youre here with me
Some men that Ive known
Have left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be
Chorus
I went down for the count
I was down, I was beat and I was crying
I was caught up in hate
Hiding my face and not trying
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself Id get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough

Id Rather Be You
1986. released as b-side of single throwing it all away, 1987.
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer
And Ill still be here until its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
But youll be back, I couldve told you
Well I always knew
Yes I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now youve got what you wanted
And youre free to be the things
You always said youd be
Youre up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
You know I never wanted to be closer
And Ill still be here until its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but youll be back, I couldve told you
Well it seems to me
That youve got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
Its dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when youre holding the aces
Dont throw it away cos you know
Id rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Hey hey yeah
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
And Ill still be here til its over
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ooh but youll be back, I couldve told you
Its been a long time coming
But at last we seem to be moving on, straight ahead
Were finally getting something done
Time flies and fore you know it
Youll be getting closer to where
You always knew youd be
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ill still be here until its over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)

I Thought I Told You That (feat. Faith Evans)
Theres a boy that Im into, hes so fly, so cute
I dreamt of, him every night, he had me, on cloud nine
Thought I could trust him, why?, he said to me when I needed him
He was there for me, then I found out he did the same
For every girl, with a pretty face
I just wanted to believe that
He was so innocent, so sweet
He did everything for me and
People told me all along, he was wrong
But I was so naive
Dont let him do to you what he did to me
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
He played me the whole time, thats why Im warning you
Im not the jealous type
cause Ive already been there done that
And nothing that he says will make me want him back
It does matter what he sends me
A dozen flowers or a diamond thats bling bling
Its all good but Im not the one to be staying home while hes having fun
I just wanted to believe that
He was so innocent, so sweet
He did everything for me and
People told me all along, he was wrong
But I was so naive
Dont let him do to you what he did to me
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought i told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
Girlfriend, Im just trying to make you see
That its not about you, its not about me
You cant let him get the best of you this way
You gotta love yourself and just walk away
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone
Thought I told you that, he would break your heart
He was no good for you, from the start
Thought I told you that, he had another girl
Youre not the only woman in his world
Thought I told you that, he would make you cry
I dont see how you believe his lie
Thought I told you that, I hate to say that I told you so
Take it from me, you better leave him alone

Waitin For Your Love
Well Ive been spendin all my spare time
Sittin home alone
Listenin for the front door
And starin at the phone
Ever since that night in texas
Youre all thats in my brain
And long distance aint the answer
My little heart cant stand the strain
Chorus:
Im a waitin for your love
Waitin every night and day
Hopin youll come by and get me, baby
Take me far away
Im a waitin for your love
Girl, I aint afraid to say
That youre all I ever wanted
So come and steal my heart away
Well I was never one to beg
You know I always played it cool... so cool
But youve got me on my knees now
Youre the exception to the rule
Well there aint no turnin back
You know Im too far gone
So I keep the front door open
And keep the porch light on

Youre all I ever wanted
So come and steal my heart away

I Told You So
Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized youre all I ever wanted
And its killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day youd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now Ive found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that youve missed me too
And that youve been so lonely
And youve waited for the day that I returned
And wed live and love forever
And that Im your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...

If You Needed Somebody
(howe/thomas)
Should have told you by now, but I cant find the words, oh no
If I could show you somehow, but I dont have the nerve, oh yeah
You dont see me looking at you, how can love be so blind
Somehow you dont notice me, sooner or later there will come a time, baby
Chorus:
If you need somebody, the way that I need you
If you wanted somebody, the way that I want you
Oh yeah, the way that I want you
If I could hold you tonight, it would last me forever
But the times never right, when will we be together, oh no
If I could make you understand, what youre doing to me
Maybe there will come a time, when sooner or later I will make you see, baby
Chorus:
If you need somebody, the way that I need you
If you wanted somebody, the way that I want you
Ooh, if I could tell you now, the way you make me feel
Ooh, if I could show you somehow, dont you know my lovin is oh so real

My Side Of Town
(wade hayes/chick rains)
Well I heard it through the grapevine
I guess it must be true
I heard that crowd youre running with
Has changed your attitude
Its been a month of sundays
Since youve been around
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
I knew that you were born to
The finer things in life
Caviar and foreign cars and bright big city lights
Now youre out there dancin
In a fancy evening gown
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
And Ill be right there waitin
til you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
I still dream about you
Every time the music starts
I still hold you close to me
Even though were far apart
If I ever cross your mind
You know where Im bound
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
Ill be right here waitin
till you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
You always had a good time
On my side of town

Look Away
When you called me up this morning,
Told me bout the new love you found,
Im said Im happy for you,
Im really happy for you.
Found someone else,
I guess I wont be coming round.
I guess its over, baby;
Its really over, baby, whoa...
And from what you said
I know youve gotten over me;
Itll never be the way it used to be.
So if its gotta be this way,
Dont worry, baby, I can take the news okay.
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the streets someday,
And I dont know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Dont look at me;
I dont want you to see me this way.
When we both agreed as lovers,
We were better off as friends,
Thats how it had to be,
Yeah, thats how it had to be.
I tell you Im fine
But sometimes I just pretend;
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, whoa...
I just never thought,
That I would be replaced so soon;
I wasnt prepared to hear those words from you.
I know I wanted to be free;
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be.
But if you see me waling by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the streets someday,
And I dont know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Dont look at me;
I dont want you to see me this way.

Life On Your Own
Winter is approaching
Theres snow upon the ground
Its good of you to visit me
Im glad you came around
I dont know how you found me
I didnt let you know
I only moved to this address
About a week ago
I guess you think I ran out
But thats not true
Other people settle down
I never do
I always have to move on
Just have to go
Ive often wondered why that is
Id like to say but I just dont know
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
Up here the summers shorter
And winters very cold
Im looking forward to the peace
My lonely life will hold
Im really glad you came here
Thank you for the talk
Its funny how my problem stopped
When we went for a walk
Standing here together
Means so much
I wont forget your confidence
I wont forget your touch
You know Ill come to see you
Passing through
Well always be a world apart
Ill travel on but I will be true
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own

Amarillo By Morning
Amarillo by morning, up from san antone.
Everything that Ive got is just what Ive got on.
When that sun is high in that texas sky
Ill be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, amarillo Ill be there.
They took my saddle in houston, broke my leg in santa fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well Ill be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And Im hoping that judge aint blind.
Amarillo by morning, amarillos on my mind.
Amarillo by morning, up from san antone.
Everything that Ive got is just what Ive got on.
I aint got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I aint rich, but lord Im free.

Dont Let Me Down
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I cant believe that youre still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but Im comin round
The scars are still fragile
Dont let me down
Chorus:
So dont blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
Dont blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it

Time after time
Its just too much to take
Ive waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now

Swingin Doors

You have worn a path
Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you dont stay
And Ive come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away
Chorus:
You must think my heart has swingin doors
The way that you keep comin back and forth
I can feel its getting close to closing time
And I wont be leavin my heart open any more
Well, Ive heard youre back in town
I suppose youll come around
When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
You always seem to wait
til all the pieces are in place
Then you walk back in and rearrange my life

So if youre walking down my street just keep on walking by
Im hangin out a sign sayin this well has run dry

The Rick Springfield Song
(the szuters)
Took all this time
I never thought it would be like this
I guess the best is best forgotten
Now and then I come back to that dream
Where if I set you free
Youd come back to me
And say that its not all for nothing
All I wanted was one hit record
All I wanted was a chance to be a star
All I wanted was a happy ending
Dont want to hear about the money youre making
Dont want to hear about the young girl shaking
All I wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Well, my good friends talk about
The things theyve done
And look around where I am now
Lately in bed
With this worry in my head
Sometimes wish that I were dead
Just like robin saunders said
All I wanted was one hit record
All I wanted was a chance to be a star
All I wanted was a happy ending
Dont want to hear about the money youre making
Dont want to hear about the young girl shaking
All I wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line
All I wanted was one hit record
All I wanted was a chance to be a star
All I wanted was a happy ending
Dont want to hear about the money youre making
Dont want to hear about the young girl shaking
All I wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line...oh yeah

Oh yeah

Waiting For Your Love
Hands, dont let her go, cause then the midnight icy winds will blow
Eyes, give every drop, this aint the way that shouldve made her stop
Arms, just let her know, no one fills the place she used to grow
Smile, dont leave me now, cos youre the reason shes here anyhow
Words, be gentle when you speak into her heart
cos if it breaks, she may not come again

Ive been waitin for your love and its been here all the time
Right in front of me
Ive been sittin, waitin for your love, and all the time its been here
Right in front of me
Look, forget your pride, she might kiss as youre like even tide
Song, be in her heart, especially when were apart
Love, be by my side, cos if she leaves there aint no place to hide
Soul, be with her now, cos youre the first one she knew anyhow
Words, be gentle when you speak into her heart
cos if it breaks, she may not come again
Chorus

Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
cos if it breaks, she may not come again

Ive been sittin, waitin for your love, and all the time its been here
Right in front of me, yeah

Guess I neednt tell you that Im not around, Im inside, you got me, yeah
