Playin' For Keeps
I'm playin' for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
I'm playin' for keeps
I'm sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

Jane
Jane you say its all over for you and me
Theres a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane youre playin a game
Called hard to get by its real name
Makin believe that you still dont feel the same
Jane youre playin a game you never can win girl
Youre stayin away just so Ill ask you where youve been baby
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and house to house
Dont you pretend you dont know what Im talkin about
Were all those nights we spent together (hey hey)
Only because you didnt know better
Oh jane youre playin a game, youre playin a game, playin a game
Jane youre playin a game of hide and go seek
Jane youre playin for fun but I play for keeps (yes I do)
Oh jane thats a game on me
Oh jane thats so plain to see
Jane jane jane

Quit Playing Games
Even in my heart I see
You're not being true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Chorus
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got in my heart
I live my life the way
To keep you coming back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see?
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
You better quit playin' games with my heart
Chorus
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby, the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin here forever
Oh baby, baby, this is not right
Lets stop this tonight
Baby, quit playin games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could
So bad, baby
Quit playin games with my heart

Carnival Game
It was a masquerade at Mardi Gras
That was the only trip that I recall
Everytime I turned around at all
There was you
Some days are easier said than done
Always expecting something's wrong
I'd rather live alone than drag this on
Take your time- please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind the face and then you're gone
Oh,yeah- comes a time when you're better off alone
You're on your own
I've got a kaleidoscope of memories
Visions of you locked up inside of me
Can't you see
We once collided like a broken wheel
So undecided what was real
Maybe a crash somehow has sex appeal
Whatever turns you on
Take your time- please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind a face and then you're gone
Oh yeah- comes a time when you're better off alone
One down- one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
Your time is gone
One down- one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
You're all alone
One down- one to go
Oh no, you're on your own

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
You say that you love me
But you still be wylin' out
All of this yellin', all of this fussin'
Over just nothin', in my house
I pray to my Savior
And hope He will just help me out
'Cause all this confusion got me just bluesin'
I know what I should be doin' now, yeah, yeah
I can't lie, I (Don't wanna waste no more time)

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
I try to be patient
To see if you could figure out
With all of your lyin', all your denyin'
I cannot keep you around
You know that I love you
It's gonna hurt me to see you leave
I can't go through bein' misused
'Cause you know that that ain't me, yeah

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
Cool with whatever 'cause it's been so long
All this nonsense you're doin' only made me strong
But if we stay together there's got to be some change
I don't even wanna hear another call your name
Cool with whatever 'cause it's been so long
All this nonsense you're doin' only made me strong
I don't think we'll be together 'cause you'll never change
Already stuck inside your ways, you'll always be the same
You say (You really love me)
I say (I really love you)
You say (We don't ever have to fight)
I say (I don't ever wanna cry)
You say (You will never play the field)

Piano Picker
Everybody always ask me
How I got to play so fine
And friends, Im gonna tell ya
It really did take some time
Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
While the other guys were out playin with the football
I was home bangin on the keys
And it got me
(*) right where I am
This is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what I do
Its for you
And Ill try and sing right too
I guess Im really very lucky
That Ive got this thing to play
cause it can really make me feel good
Even when its cloudy and grey
Yes, after years and years of practice
And awful allergies that made me sneeze
And now the other guys are out playin with their girlfriends
And I was still bangin on the keys
And it got me

Playin In The Band
Some folks trust to reason others trust to might,
I dont trust to nothin, but I know it comes out right.
Say it once again now, whoa, I hope youll understand
When its done and over, lord, a man is just a man.
Playin, playin in the band. daybreak, daybreak on the land.
Some folks look for answers others look for fights,
Some folks up in treetops just a looking for their kites.
Whoa, I can tell your future just look whats in your hand,
But I cant stop for nothin Im just playing in the band.
Playin, playin in the band. daybreak, daybreak on the land.
Standin on a tower world at my command
You just keep a turnin while Im playing in the band.
And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band.
Playin, playin in the band. daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Second Hand Devotion
Here you go playin' with my heart again-
Practicin' your second hand devotion-
Stirrin' me into a lovin' hope again-
You're playin' with my emotion;
Why'd you have to come back anyway?
Messin' with my wore out heart?
Drivin' hope into my lonely soul-
Only-to take it all apart;
You say and do all kinds of lovin' things-
But then you begin to sorta' wear thin-
Actin' bored and our loved you ignore-
And im wonderin' just where your heart has been;
Here you go playin' with my heart again-
Practicin' your second hand devotion-
Stirrin' me into a lovin' hope again-
You're playin' with my emotion;
You're a tried and true Casanova ya know-
A gigalo of the love starved and those alone-
Playin' all of us fast and loose now-
Who invited you back into my heart and home?
'Cause home is where my heart truly is-
And ya know what you're feelin' ain't true-
So why don't ya just go-'cause ya know-
That my world is better without you;
Here ya go playin' with my heart again-
Practicin' your second hand devotion-
Stirrin' me into lovin' hope again-
You're playin with my emotion;

One More Time
(gary rossington -- ronnie vanzant)
How can you stand there smilin
After all youve done
You know it seems to make you happy
When youve hurt someone
Twice before you fooled me
With your deceivin and lyin
Come in and close the door
One more time, one more time
Yeah youve been gone so long
No one knows where
And you say that you still love me
Then show me you care
cause you got what it takes sweet mama
To make a man feel fine
So Ill take the word of a liar
One more time, one more time
Girl youve got me hungry
Losin my mind
I know Im playin with fire
Get burned everytime
Yes Im a fool for you baby I cant deny
But I got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time
Girl youve got me hungry
Losin my mind
I know Im playin with fire
I get burned everytime
Yes Im a fool for you mama I cant deny
But I got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time
Yes Im her fool once more
I can read her brown eyes
But when the rooster crows tomorrow
Well its her turn to cry
Im headed down that old road
She lost her free ride
So tonight Ill take what I paid for
One more time, one more time
One more time

You Cant Deny It
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Weve got it together darlin, were ready for it
You see Im smilin
Hmm weve got the people talkin, they know how we feel
And its no big deal
And were not playin games and were not playin lovers
We mean a lot more than that
Hear what Im sayin boy, let go and be my joy
I have to love you
Chorus:
You cant deny it baby, we drive each other crazy
You cant deny it, no two people ever felt this way
You cant deny it baby, we drive each other crazy
Weve just got to let it out
Let it out
Let it out
Let it out
The more were with each other, its so exciting
And its getting stronger
The way you touch me darlin, Ive never been
Touched like that before
And were not playin games and were not playin lovers
We mean a lot more than that
Youre all I need my love, youre there to push me on
I have to love you
Chorus
We can shout let it out
We can shout let it out
We can shout let it out

Stranded on a Sandbar
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan Im sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
cause weve both got our own different ways
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth
Now I used to go crazy for days at a time
Now Im takin my time with my days
Havent found the answers like some that I know
Im just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin up and down on me
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Baby Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Sugar Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth

Just Playin Possum
(alan jackson/jim mcbride/gary overton)
I parked my car round back
Ive got the shades pulled down
I told everybody including my mama
I was leaving town
But Ive been right here
Since youve been gone
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to george jones
And just playin possum
Laying low
Ive got hundred watts of hurtin
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Dont want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Im just playin possum
And laying low
Im gonna hide my heart
And be a love recluse
Oh I could cry on my best friends shoulder
But there aint no use
I need an expert on
The pain Im going through
So Ill keep george on the old turntable
til Im over you
And just playin possum
Laying low
Ive got hundred watts of hurtin
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Dont want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Im just playin possum
And laying low
Hes playin possum
And hes laying low

Lovin' her right

And theres a song they played the night we met
And theres a song we first made love to
Thats a song Ill never forget

Down On The Corner (feat. Lance Diamond)
Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel won't ya lay your money down
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Played Yourself
All you do is tell me lies
Cant you see I'm not suprised
That you think that im a fool
Hey
'Cause you think that no one sees
And you think you're playin' me
I just think that you're confused
you're playin' you baby
(chorus)
You didnt think that i would catch you
you didnt know how i knew
you didnt think your girl would tell
on you
you played yourself that way
Repeat
She was your best friend in your eyes
But she told me the flip side
Guess she wanted in my life
If you've seen her plan
You would know i was the man
That she desired to have
You were too blind to see
I waited
Long enough for you to
throw you cards
You played it
But playin' didnt get you very far
