The Weight
I pulled into nazareth, was feelin about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, and no!, was all he said.
(chorus:)
Take a load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin for a place to hide;
When I saw carmen and the devil walkin side by side.
I said, hey, carmen, come on, lets go downtown.
She said, I gotta go, but mfriend can stick around.
(chorus)
Go down, miss moses, theres nothin you can say
Its just ol luke, and lukes waitin on the judgement day.
Well, luke, my friend, what about young anna lee?
He said, do me a favor, son, woncha stay an keep anna lee company?
(chorus)
Crazy chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, I will fix your rack, if youll take jack, my dog.
I said, wait a minute, chester, you know Im a peaceful man.
He said, thats okay, boy, wont you feed him when you can.
(chorus)
Catch a cannon ball now, ttake me down the line
My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time.
To get back to miss fanny, you know shes the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

Don't Let Her Get Away
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.

Goodbye Carmen
And her eyes are like skies that will rain
But theres work to be done, and she does not complain
Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you pray
Now you must go, and its so hard to say
Chorus:
Goodbye, carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while [with your pretty smile]
And someday youll get home again
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or who knows when (it all depends)
Goodbye...
Were convinced our intentions are good
But we live in this world often misunderstood
Can you feel it? (uh-huh)
I can feel it (d-doh)
And no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say
(chorus)
Carmen...careful what you do, be careful what you see, carmen
We will always be with you
Turn around but shes lost in the sun
There was so much to say, but shes already gone, so
Thank you carmen, dont be afraid this is not the end,
So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again.
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or never again
But youre my friend carmen
Goodbye...goodbye...goodbye..........

Bounce Right Back
I was walking down the street
With my old friend luke
And the strangest thing we saw
There was a flash like dynamite
And we fell down to the floor
And as we looked up this weird dude stood
I guess he was standing about four feet five
With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre
His face was grinning from side to side
Chorus
Well he said button up and tighten your lip
Keep a check on what you say
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth
Are going to bounce back on you some day
Now several years pass
I thought nothing more
It was down to a nine to five grind
I was shuffling round to my old friends house
I had party on my mind
While chatting this chick
A guerilla muscled in
A brace of henchmen right behind
My blood boiled hard
Ill give you a piece of my mind
And this guy appeared by my side
Dont you know what he said
Chorus
I was walking down the street with my old friend luke
We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene
He say yes and I say no
He say what do you mean
I pulled my piece and he pulled his
We stared each other right in the eye
There was a flash like dynamite
And this guy appeared by our side

Miss Me Blind
Miss me
I know youll miss me
I know youll miss me blind
Chorus 1:
I know youll miss me
I know youll miss me
I know youll miss me blind
Bet you got a good gun
Bet you know how
To have some fun
And then
You turn it around on me
Because Im better
Than the rest of the men
Chorus 2:
I say youll miss me
And you always do
I say youll miss me
Now would I lie to you
Now theres no need
To demand
Grab my golden hand
Ill teach you
And youll never be sure
If the way that you need
Is too much like greed
Decide if you are rich or youre poor
(chorus 1)
Bet you make the fool run
Bet you know how
To make it last 4 ever
But you know
Im never really sure
If youre just kissing to be clever
(chorus 2)
Because this love
That I have to give
Must be better than thet kind
It can make you rich
It can make you poor
But I know that
Youll miss me blind

Lovin' On The Side
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it
CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide
You're takin everything she gives for granted
You got it all and still I don't know why
You're lovin' on the side
If somebody told her 'bout your secret ways
Do you think you'd ever find another
who could take her place
I'd give everything I own
Just to have what you got at home
But still you are never satisfied
Why do you keep lovin' on the side when you know
REPEAT CHORUS
Tell me what I've gotta do
To make you see that she always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do,
well think about it
You're lovin' on the side
Lovin' on the side
REPEAT CHORUS

Deliver Us From Temptation
Freedom" this cry of all slaves will be heard
And the tyrants will feel the steal of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth
Forever to be free from their load
Time has run out for all you tyrants on earth
Your slaves are heedin\' the call
Makin\' an end to all this terror and pain
An end to your lies and your law
Takin\' away all your gold and your money
\'cause dead men don\'t need it anymore
Much too long we felt the slash of your whips
So now you will feel or swords
Freedom the eternal cry will echo high in the sky
The day will come when all power has been broken
Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell
Satan will wait for your souls
Pray to your god he won\'t help you he\'s dead
He won\'t fool our minds and our soul... anymore

Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth

Come on over---come on in
Pull up a seat--take a load off your feet

Same Ol' Situation
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now i used to call her cindy
She changed her name to "sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing
(pre-chorus)
All around the world
Girls will be girls

It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no, no, no
No, no, no
Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time i saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells

Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd,
They want you to speak but the music is louder than -
All of their roar, with the heat of the planets core, but..
The shadows are on your side,
As soon as the lights go down.
In the darkest place you can find,
You belong to the hands of the night..
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend -
To a tune of its own, hey youll never hear that voice again.
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that youre having the time of your life -
When your life is on the slide, but..
(chorus) (chorus)
-
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar..
Whichever way you can be sure, that...

The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side

Do It Again
In the mornin you go gunnin
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isnt hangin
And they put you on the street
Chorus:
You go back jack do it again
Wheel turnin round and round
You go back jack do it again
When you know shes no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And youre sure youre near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know shes smilin
Youll be on your knees tomorrow
Chorus
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That youre not a gamblin man
Then you find youre back in vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when youre able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

Nothin But The Taillights
Blue kentucky highway, headin for the line
She hadnt said a word all night,
But the wheels are turnin in her mind
Now I was ridin shotgun,
And I knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off
At the side of the road
And she let that gravel fly
Chorus
Now Im walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right,
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As the highways ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
Was it somethin that I did to her,
Or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if I even make it back to town
Before the sun comes up
Im gonna hit every parking spot around
til I find that pick-up truck
Chorus
Now Im talkin in the moonlight
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind
Well Ill bet right now shes laughin
At how she brought me to my knees
But she wont be laughin half as loud
When she gives me back my keys
Chorus
Shell be walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
She wont ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin but the taillights
And I know thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
There she goes, here I come
