Take Me Back To Tulsa
[chorus]
Take me back to tulsa, Im too young to marry
Take me back to tulsa, Im too young to marry
You see that girl with the red dress on,
Some folks call her dinah
Stoled my heart away from me
Way down in louisiana
[chorus]
The big bee sucks the blossom
And the little bee makes the honey
Poor man throws the cotton
And the rich man makes the money
[chorus]
We travel all over this country wide
Playing music by the hour
Always wear this great big smile
We never do look sour
[chorus]
Would I go...
You ...
Let me off ...
And Ill walk down to greenwood

Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa
Love is so beautiful
When everything is fine
But when it is like hers and mine
It lives and dies at least
Ten Thousand
Times
Chorus:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
How those old oil wells
Smell in the wind
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I wont have to go back
Believing I belong there
Again
Eyes as blue as Tulsa skis
I kept getting lost in when I met her
Hair like Oklahoma sand
I could run my hands through forever
But all good things must end
All rivers have to bend
I keep runnin out
But she keeps pullin me back in
REPEAT CHORUS:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I wont have to go back
Believing I belong there
Again

Tulsa Time
I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine
My baby said I was crazy
My moma called me lazy
I was gonna show'em all this time
Cause you know I ain't no fooling
I don't need no more school'in
I was born to just walk the line
Chorus:
Livin on Tulsa time, livin on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin on Tulsa time
Where there I was in Hollywood
Wishing I was doing good
Talking on telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking
Man I'm really sinking
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to Tulsa time

I Wanna Marry You
I see you walking, baby, down the street
Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
I see the lonely ribbon in your hair
Tell me I am the man for whom you put it there
You never smile girl, you never speak
You just walk on by, darlin week after week
Raising two kids alone in this mixed up world
Must be a lonely life for a working girl
(chorus)
Little girl, I wanna marry you
Oh yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you
Yes I do
Little girl, I wanna marry you
Now honey, I dont wanna clip your wings
But a time comes when two people should think of these things
Having a home and a family
Facing up to their responsibilities
They say in the end true love prevails
But in the end true love cant be no fairytale
To say Ill make your dreams come true would be wrong
But maybe, darlin, I could help them along
(chorus)
My daddy said right before he died
That true, true love was just a lie
He went to his grave a broken heart
An unfulfilled life, makes a man hard
Oh, darlin
Theres something happy and theres something sad
bout wanting somebody, oh so bad,
I wear my love darlin, without shame
Id be proud if you would wear my name

Tulsa Time
By danny flowers
Well, I left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says Im crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But Im gonna show them all this time
cause you know I aint no fool and
i dont need no more damn schoolin.
I was born to just walk the line.
Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
cause you know that Ive been through it.
Living on tulsa time.
So there I was in hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They dont want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my babys doing fine.
So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see Im on tulsa time.

Country Gentleman
Country gentleman walked a crooked mile,
Got our money in his pocket.
Did it all with a very handsome smile.
Now, he's livin' it up in a great big office.
He ain't a-gonna help no poor man.
He ain't a-goona help no poor man.
He ain't a-gonna help no poor man.
He's just gonna help his rich friends.
He ain't a-gonna help no women.
He ain't a-gonna help no children.
He's just gonna help his rich friends.
Country gentleman, we see him on T.V.,
Glad handin' folks and chattin' to the nation.
We never knew what really to believe.
Just word upon slogan with emotional connection.
Chorus:
He ain't a-gonna help no poor man.
He ain't a-gonna help no children.
He ain't a-gonna help no women.
He's just gonna help his rich friends.
And in the papers all we'd ever read is
So and so big-shot signed his resignation.
Now, country gentleman he wants us to believe
That he's kind and honest with the best intentions.
Chorus
Country gentleman, now there's a bird that flew
High above his nation, prayed on its weakness.
Picked our bones and threw it in his stew.
Thank God he went back to California.

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
(chorus)
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

Croquet by Moonlight
On a moonlight evening, in the month of May,
A number of young people were playing at croquet,
They mingled together, the bashful with the gay,
And had a pleasant time and chat, while playing at croquet.
CHORUS:
This play they call croquet, croquet,
This play they call croquet,
It is amusement for the young,
This play they call croquet.
On that pleasant evening, the moon shone clear and bright,
And every heart among that crowd was filed with great delight.
It was a merry party, for lady Dell was there
Her merry laugh above the rest was heard by all, so fair.
CHORUS: This play, etc.
She was the belle that evening, admired by great and small,
And all the boys liked to play with the girl and blue ball.
She was a splendid player, so lively and so gay,
For she was skilled in playing that pleasant game croquet.
CHORUS: This play, etc.
Two young men among them, that loved this pretty Dell;
Although I write about them, their names I will not tell.
They were fine young fellows, so bashful, and yet so gay;
They tried to beat the girl that with the blue ball play.
CHORUS: This play, etc.
Ah! with those handsome fellows, Dell thought she'd have some fun,
"The one of you that'll catch me, may see me safely home."
The play began in earnest, between those fine young men,
To catch the girl with the blue ball, was impossible for them.
CHORUS: This play, etc.
She went around the play-ground, so full of life and gay,
She left them at the farther arch, so she beat them at croquet.
It was late that evening, and as I went away,
I know not how they came out, in that pleasant game, croquet.
CHORUS: This play, etc.
So croquet by moonlight is pleasant, as you see,
For business cares were laid aside, in that little company.
So playing at croquet, croquet, so playing at croquet,
It is amusement for the young folks, this play of croquet.

Scaring Myself
She slams the front door
Cuz she knows that I cant stand it
Gives me the finger
Cuz she knows Im wrapped around it.
She calls me sweetheart
Cuz she knows it makes me weak.
She stepped in dog pooh
And Im still kissing her feet.
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[chorus:]
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an std
And if she comes home,
I hope that shell marry me.
I want to tell her that its over now
Hey look, Im arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend
Is bad for my mental health
And now Im scaring myself.
The roller coaster makes me sick and she knows it.
Thats why she always insists that I go on it
She told my friends that I need therapy
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?

Im waking up
Im getting out.

Go West Young Man
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
Im blazing a trail that leads to vice
So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice
I hear that one still voice
Call to me
Chorus:
Go west young man
Go west young man
When the evil go east
Go west young man
Go west young man
Find a heart thats golden
Why must I wander like a cloud
Following the crowd
Well I dont know
But Im asking for the will to fight
To wear the crown of life
And you say go

The mind is weak the heart is frail
When it goes beyond the pale
So unwise

Never thought what a mess itd get you in

Sweet girls school stuff and
A country smile and charm
Out in the back
Of my 58 chevy
She said shed do me no harm
You know she makes me feel good
Just like a bad girl should

She goes down
She goes down

Down, down, down
All night long
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
Sassy little lassie
Walking right past me
Down in tennessee
Always a lady
I love southern ladies
They just know how to please
Its like connecting the dots
Start at the bottom, lick it to the top

You know she makes me feel good
Everyday, any way
She goes down
All night long
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
All of the day
All of the night
Lick those lips
Do you up right
Up and down
Round and round
Round the world
Scream it out
You know she makes me feel good
Cya out in hollywood

Flat on my back she goes down
For backstage pass, she goes down
With all of my friends, she goes down
She gives heart attack, she goes...

We Had It All
We closed down the Border Cantina
And drank margaritas till dawn
You were my sweet senorita
And I was your handsome Don Jaun.
We danced like there was no tomorrow
We laughed and we lived and we loved
That moment in time that we borrowed
Never did last long enough.
Chorus:
Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again.
We thought we were too young to marry
Slowly we drifted apart
Well baby, I miss you like crazy
Those memories still burn in my heart.
Oh, let's find a way to rekindle
That flame that burned long ago
These days just can't hold a candle
To those sweet nights in old Mexico.
Chorus:
Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again.

Love Or Money
Verse1:
You might be a small town boy
But your livin large in my world
When you wrap your love around me,
You know Im your number one girl
Traveled across the sea
But it didnt mean that much to me
Youre the star that makes me shine
No matter where my heart may be
Do you need to know
Anything more than this?
Chorus:
I wouldnt leave you for love
Wouldnt leave you for money
Wouldnt leave you for anything in this world honey
Wouldnt do it for diamonds
Wouldnt do it for gold
Baby next to your lovin, they just leave me cold
Verse2:
A millionaire from london
Tried to sweep me off my feet
A lear jet, a fancy car,
But still you got them beat
If valentino courted me
To marry him in rome
It might be tempting,
But you know Id rather stay home with you
cause youre still the one
Who makes me feel like a queen
Chorus
Breakdown:
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Would you do it for money? ( wouldnt do it for money! )
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
