Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall

(words & music by larry gatlin)
I told her to leave me alone
Thats what shes done, just what shes done
And a house built for two, aint a home
When its lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps, come right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
She caught me lying, then she caught a train
And I caught a fever walking home in the rain
Oh yeah!
But its over and Im done
She left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

The Harder They Come

Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky.
Waiting for me when I die.
But between the day your born and when you die.
They never seem to hear even your cry.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Well the opus are trying to keep me down.
Trying to drag me under-ground.
And they think that they have got the battle won.
Oh! I say forgive them lord the do not what theyve done.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
(yeah!)
(yeah!)
Well Ill keep on fighting for the things I want. (for the things I want.)
Though I know that when you dead you gone.
But Id rather be a free man in my grave.
Then living as a puppet or a slave.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (its true)
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
[instrumental]
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (yes.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.

The Bigger The Fool

(jim rushing/larry cordle)
Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sasheyed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
That i chose to ignore
For the prize i thought i could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh, but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
Beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as i could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And i became another verse
To a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that i've learned to face the truth
The words stick in my craw
Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

The Harder They Fall

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album. it was also released as a live version on the wildlife concert album .
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories hes been runnin around
Said somehow she knows its all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she dont know what to do
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You might say shes caught between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just cant win
Some just cant recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Shes mad because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She dont want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We dont want to be all alone

You think Im yours but Im not at all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
The harder they come, the harder they fall
Your confident but youll lose it all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
Love my freedom, nothings gonna take it from me
Dont want it to end

Thats not my intent
Have some pride, lift your head high
Walk away while you can
Theres nothing I can do to save you now
So take it like a man

The Harder They Come

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
One and all Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done 'Cause as sure
as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
...But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

Teardrops Will Fall

I read your letter, darlin'
Tears filled my eyes
All of the promises you made were nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph around face to the wall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
I'm gonna pray tonight, baby
Hopin' you will hear
And maybe you'll write all those wrongs
And dry each tear
I sit alone tonight
Hopin' you will call
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
When I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

Love Spins

Hold back the night
I wonder what shes doing when shes not in sight
I wonder where shes going who she holds tonight
I wonder if shes sleeping alone
And hold back the pain
I cover up the teardrops in the pouring rain
My heart has been run over by a runaway train
I wonder if shes ever alone
Let it go! let it go! let it go!
Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, shes far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
Its setting me up, and then its kicking me down
Dont fade to gray,
I wonder if shes ever coming back to stay
Shes running on the edge she hit the harder way
I wonder if shes only a dream
So hold back the night,
I wonder what shes doing when shes not in sight
I wonder where shes going who she holds tonight
I wonder if shes lost in a dream
Let it go! let it go! let it go!
Her love spins ...

Teardrops

Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.
In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some
Lovers game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much
The same.
Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.
In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks
Upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought
On him.
Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.

Where Teardrops Fall

Far away where the soft winds blow
Far away from it all
There is a place you go
Where teardrops fall
Far away in the stormy night
Far away and over the wall
You are there in the flickering light
Where teardrops fall
We bang the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
You know the song in my heart
In the turning of twilight in the shadows of moonlight
You can show me a new place to start
Ive torn my clothes and Ive drained the cup
Strippin away at it all
Thinking of you when the sun comes up
Where teardrops fall
By rivers of blindness in love and with kindness
We can hold up a toast if we meet
To the cutting of fences to sharpen the senses
That linger in the fireball heat
Roses are red violets are blue
And time is beginning to crawl
I just might have to come see you
Where teardrops fall

Too Lonely

Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love
Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love.
I got a key chain
Good luck charm
I drive a fast car
Got a strong arm.
Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love
Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love.
Shes got the big lips
Shes got the tight dress
Working for a big tip
She dont go for less.
Shes too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love
Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love.
She wears a fur coat
Shes got a gold ring
Comes from a good home
Lookin for a new thing.
Shes too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love
Too lonely, too lonely
Too lonely to fall in love.

Break Ups, Teardrops, and Lies.

Don’t play sad songs on the jukebox
I’ve got enough misery in my heart.
I’m drowning in a sea of fallen teardrops
and I don’t want my crying to restart.

I guess that I’m an emotional kind of lover
who takes being jilted harder than most men.
It doesn’t take many sad words to upset me
and tear jerker songs do it time and again.

Play something that’s tuneful and happy,
something to take my mind off cloudy skies.
I don’t want to listen to lonely hearts music
full of break ups, teardrops, and lies.

Missing Me

When Im standing on the stage I see a girl in front of me
I dont know what she wants but I know she cries for me
Shes too young to start a fire but she cant hide her desire, oh no
So she turns away and cries covering her face with her hands
In her dreams I kiss her eyes and this moment never ends
But she knows that dream s not real and I know what she will feel
Cause shes missing me
Teardrops in the dirt
Oh shes missing me
We all know love can hurt
Cause shes missing me
Well Im a poster on the wall
Yes shes missing me
Buy our records, we love you all
Well a hundred million dollars thats exactly what we want
Little girls are little victims and were always on the hunt
When the horn blows huntings over theres no lonely girl to see, oh no
Im a little bit confused bout the letters that you write
Seems you think Im a hero and everything I do is right
You know Ive tried to explain but it seems that was in vain
Cause shes missing me
Teardrops in the dirt
Oh shes missing me
We all know love can hurt
Cause shes missing me
Well Im a poster on the wall
Yes shes missing me
Buy our records, we love you all
Cause shes missing me
Teardrops in the dirt
Oh shes missing me
We all know love can hurt
Cause shes missing me
Well Im a poster on the wall
Yes shes missing me
Buy our records, we love you all
Cause shes missing me...

Holdin On To Something

(tom shapiro/thom mchugh)
Theres a little girl
Wanna make her mine
What she wants I dont know
If red means stop
An green means go
Her light is always yellow
Im wrapped around her finger
Shes slipping through my hands
Every time I think I got her
I gotta think again...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
She calls me on the phone
Says shes all alone
Felling kinda lonely
Says she cant wait
So dont be late
I promise her I wont be
Ten minutes later Im standing at her door
Shes saying, never mind, I aint lonely anymore...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go

Teardrops

Teardrops running down your face
Teardrops running down your face
Diamonds of water, and salt from your body
Coming down to meet my kisses
Teardrops running down your face
Teardrops running down your face
Staining your skin and my skin and beginning
The stories that you cant begin
The way I feel could be despised but its a vision that I prize
Teardrops teardrops
Im not trying to make you feel pain
Or joy to make the tears flow
But when they roll unashamed - they move me so
Teardrops running down you, face
Teardrops running down you, face
Let me, let me brush them with my fingers
Comfort you and say its alright
Its so strong this way I feel sometimes I want to beg or steal
Teardrops teardrops.

Caught Up

Caught Up"
I'm the kind of brotha
Who been doin' it my way
Gettin' my way for years
In my career
And every lover
In and out my life
I've hit, love and left the tears
Without a care
Until I met this girl who turned the tables around
She caught me by surprise
I never thought I'd be the one breaking down
I cant figure it out why
I'm so
Caught up
Got me feelin' it
Caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems shes got me twisted
I'm so
Caught up
Got me feelin' it
Caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold on me
Let me go baby
Now listen
My momma told me
Be careful who you do cuz karma comes back around
Same ol' song
But I was so sure
That it wouldnt happen to me
Cuz I know how to put it down
But I was so wrong
This girl was mean
She really turned me out
Her body was so tight
I'm lookin' for her in the daytime with a flashlight
My homies say this girl is crampin' my style
And I can't figure it out but
I'm so
Caught up
Got me feelin' it
Caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems shes got me twisted
I'm so
Caught up
Got me feelin' it
Caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold
I'm so
Caught up
Really feelin' it
Caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems shes got me twisted
I'm so
Caught up
Really feelin' it
Caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold on me
And I think I like it baby
Oh nooo, oh no
Ooh, yeaah, oh my
This girl was mean
She really turned me out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, suga
My homies say this girl is crampin' my style
I'm so

Don't know what it is
But it seems shes got me twisted

Go On Home Baby

Here she comes on a midnight train,
She says shes gotta see me again,
Shes so young, I know I should send her away.
Leave me alone, I say leave me alone, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well, I feel so broke up Im choked up, go on home, baby.
Her hair hangs down so straight,
When she moves she looks so great
And nobody elses lips have touched hers but mine.
Leave me alone, I say leave me alone yeah, yeah, yeah,
