San Antonio Rose
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the spirit album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old san antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendour
Hear only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of san antone
Lips so sweet and tender
Like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart
For the moonlit pass by the alamo
And rose, my rose of san antone

San Antonio Rose
(bob wills)
Oh you and all your splendor
It knows only me heart
Call back my rose
Rose of san antone
Oh lips so sweet and tender
Just like petals fallin apart
Speak once again of my love
My ol broken songs
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit path
Oh beside the alamo
And rose my rose of san antone
Oh my rose my rose of san antone
Take a bow boys!
You know a lot of people ask me all the time,
Who were my musical influences.
Well I guess its just kinda natural,
Since I was raised in oklahoma,
That one of my musical influences was bob wills music.
When I was in college we used to
Sneak down to the oklahoma and texas border and go to dances.
And it didnt get any better than dancing to bob wills music.
But you know there was another guy from oklahoma.
I had every album he ever put out.
My older brother
Pake and my little sister susie and me, we sang every song he did
Cause merle haggard was a great influence on all of us.

Be sure its true when you say I love you
Its a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken

If you break my heart Ill die
So be sure its true

Its a sin to tell a lie
Be sure its true when you say I love you

Is It Love
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the a portrait album. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert album.
I know how it feels to be head over heels
To be lost in true love and the light of the moon
When everything seems to be coming up roses
And every word seems to be rhyming with june
Suddenly, all of your dreams have come true
Happiness lives in your heart
Then out of nowhere, one becomes two
And everything seems to be falling apart
Is it love? when your heart, feels like its broken
Is it love? and you just cant take anymore
Is it love? when theres nothing left to be spoken
Is it love? and theres nothing worth listening for
Is it love? ooh ooh
I know what it means to get caught up in dreams
And in prayers that are answered with each passing day
When loving and laughter are birds of a feather
And sharing and caring is one simple way
You know youll never be alone
That someone will always be near
Then you turn around when your best friend is gone
Oh, where do they go? when they just disappear?
Is it love? when your heart, feels like its broken
Is it love? and you just cant take anymore
Is it love? when the good times have all been forgotten
Is it love? and you fear there wont be anymore
Is it love? ooh ooh
Theres no answer, there seems to be nothing to say
In your anger would you even hear anyway
It was magic but somehow youve broken the spell
It was heaven and somehow its turned into hell
Is it love? when you know that your heart has been broken
Is it love? and you just cant take it anymore
Is it love? when you feel more than you could imagine
Is it love? now theres nothing thats worth living for
Is it love? ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Another expression of love....
You could be falling in love...
Oh, to be in love.... I want to be in love....
Cmere darlin letss talk about it......
Come on right over here
Sit down....it could be....love....i want to be in love

Home In San Antone
Havent got a worry
Havent got a care
I havent got a thing to call my own
Though Im out of money
Im a millionaire
I still have my home in san antone
When I greet my neighbor with a hi yall
Im wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
Ill just take my home in san antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
Ive been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin
I just up and say
Im a native son of san antone
Theres a sweet somebody by the alamo
Someday shes going to be my very own
And well buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in san antone

Kisses
Sweet, can I sing you the song of your kisses?
How soft is this one, how subtle this is,
How fluttering swift as a bird's kiss that is,
As a bird that taps at a leafy lattice;
How this one clings and how that uncloses
From bud to flower in the way of roses;
And this through laughter and that through weeping
Swims to the brim where Love lies sleeping;
And this in a pout I snatch, and capture
That in the ecstasy of rapture,
When the odorous red-rose petals part
That my lips may find their way to the heart
Of the rose of the world, your lips, my rose.
But no song knows
The way of my heart to the heart of my rose.

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
And I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish that I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that Id like to say
Say em loud say em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love thats in my heart
Remove every doubt
It keeps us apart
And I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then youd see and agree
Every man should be free
I wish I could live
Like Im longin to live
I wish I could give
What Im longin to give
And I wish I could do
All the things Id like to do
You know theyll still miss part of you
Yes sir...
And Im way way over due
I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found out I could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon ihe sea
And I sing because I know
I would see you
I sing because I know
I would see you
And I sing because I know
I would see you
To be free yea

And Ive been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times

Im sorry for the way things are in china
Im sorry things aint what they used to be
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
cause youre not here with me
Our friends ask all about you
I say youre doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know Im crying
I cant sleep at night
They all know Im dying down deep inside
Im sorry fro all the lies I told you
Im sorry for the things I didnt say
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
I cant believe you went away
Im sorry if I took some things for granted
Im sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
For living without you

Its funny how you sound as though youre right next door
When youre really half a world away
I just cant seem to find the words Im looking for
To say the things that I want to say
I cant remember when I felt so close to you
Its almost more than I can bear
And though I seem half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And lovers who long for home
Oh, I couldnt leave you even if I wanted to
Youre in my dreams and always near
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evenings sweet caress
Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai

In My Heart
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
I dont know why
We still live together
Were so far apart
So much of the time
I dont know why
This beautiful weather
Is breaking my spirit
And tearing my mind all apart
Are you so lonely
Are you so sad
Have you lost your purpose
The faith that you had
If life is a question
I dont understand
If time is the reason
Then nobody can
In my heart it is just an illusion
Its not even real
Much more than you think
Its much more than you feel
My ears are still ringing
Theres nothing to say
Why look to the ocean
To wash me away
There goes my best friend
There goes my last dime
If love is the answer
Im wasting my time
In my heart it is just an illusion
Its not even real
Much more than you think
Its much more than you feel
Do you feel
Is this real
How I feel
In my heart

Not so long ago, I packed my bags a hundred times
Didnt seem to know how to stop or to unwind
Goin nowhere, a man without a dream
Guess my lucky star fell the day you came along
To my lonely heart you are like a special song
Singing sweetly your tender melody
Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where Im goin and what I want to do
Thanks to you
Lying in you arms I found my greatest pleasure
I look into your eyes and dream about forever
Wakin up with you and lookin forward to the day
What we plan to do, knowin anything at alls okay
A life has a meaning
Love has got a name
Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where Im goin and what I want to do

See the sun rise
Open up your eyes
Today is the very first day
Watch the morning come
Now the night is gone
Yesterdays so very far away
Trouble you get out of my sight
You know I cant look at you
When the sun is so bright
You know everythings coming together now cant you see
And I live my life in celebration
That Ive got a life to live
And I sing my song in revelation
That Ive got a song that I can give to you
And you know I do
La la la
I was blind now I can see
You know Im just learning how it feels to be free
You know I never really knew just what it could be
Before
And I live my life in celebration
That Ive got a life to live
And I sing my song in revelation
That Ive got a song that I can give to you
And you know I do
And you know its true

A Song For All Lovers
This song was first released on the the wildlife concert album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
Imagine the morning no longer alone
The arms of another, a place to belong
No longer the struggle, no longer the night
And ever becoming in the quickening light
To see the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song
In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?
And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

T album.
This is what its like falling out of love
This is the way you lose your very best friend
This is how it feels when its all over
This is just the way true love ends
First of all theres no one to talk to
When there is they just dont seem to hear
Words dont seem to matter much anyway
They cant describe the pain
They cant explain the fear
Then the nights grow cold and hard to live through
Still you hate to see the morning come
Somehow tomorrow doesnt matter much anymore
The future holds no promise
Your lifes already done
This is what its like falling out of love
This is the way you lose your very best friend
This is how it feels when its all over
This is just the way true love ends
The you find your heart no longer flutters
You no longer look through a lovers eyes
Whats to see when the world falls down around you
You simply cant believe it
But it comes as no surprise
This is what its like falling out of love
This is the way you lose your very best friend
This is how it feels when its all over
This is just the way true love ends
Whats the sense of failure
Its such an incredible loss
Its all the things youll never do
And all the dreams that will never come true
This is what its like falling out of love
This is the way you lose your very best friend
This is how it feels when its all over
This is just the way true love ends
Oh this is just the way a true love ends
I dont believe a true love ever ends

Islands call out to me
Like the highlands that I always see
In my dreams of home
I am never alone when I am there
Islands like so many dreams
Are like canyons but off the main stream
And theres no one there
The dreamer is always alone
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands
Islands belong to the sea
Like the dark sands of my memory
When the morning comes
They are stepping stones to the sun
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands

The Nightingale and the Rose
The song, it echoed sweetly
This melody of purity so fine
To cause this bud to life
To cause this rose to form
The price to pay… the thorn
This precious price to pay with life
Pressed against the heart of purity
So pure this gentle heart
For in the name of love was formed
This rose so red, so rare
And with this blood so red
This sad song so sweet this night so long.
Until the thorn so sharp did pierce
This gentle feathered heart
And spilled the blood to form
This red rose, so rare.
And as her song of love grew faint
And as her life it spilled unto the rose
The dawn approached to quicken this endeavour
Lest this rose of love be less than perfect formed
As wilder grew her song so sweet of love
As bitter grew the pain as life it ebbed
So slowly born this death that does not die
So one heart grew the other passed away.
Borne on the wind this melody of song
This song so sweet to cause to life
This rose of blood, of love, of pain and tears
And yet so easily cast into a gutter.

Of course we have our differences
You shouldnt be surprised
Its as natural as changes
In the seasons and the skies
Sometimes we grow together
Sometimes we drift apart
A wiser man than I might know
The seasons of the heart
And Im walking here beside you
In the early evening chill
A thing weve always loved to do
I know we always will
We have so much in common
So many things we share
That I cant believe my heart
When it implies that youre not there
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
So I dont know how to tell you
Its difficult to say
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way
But sometimes I just dont know you
Theres a stranger in our home
When Im lying right beside you
Is when Im most alone
And I think my heart is broken
Theres an emptiness inside
So many things Ive longed for
Have so often been denied
Still I wouldnt try to change you
Theres no one thats to blame
Its just some things that mean so much
And we just dont feel the same
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
True love is still the only dream I know

Sunday and its rainin in alaska
Seven days, I havent seen the sun
Flyin bush, flyin low along the shore lune
Doin everything I can to make it home
I cant wait to see the wrangle mountain
I cant wait to do what I will do
Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly
When I cant wait to get back home to you
Three years from the war and settled down now
I did my time and served my country well
In the freedom I defended I fly beneath the north star
And I just dont know a better way to feel
I cant wait to see the wrangle mountain
I cant wait to do what I will do
Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly
When I cant wait to get back home to you
Its a quiet life out here among the mountains
In a cabin that was built with these two hands
Mccarthey lies asleep beside the glacier
Its colder now, winters in the air
If you think theyre wild its just because they cant be broken
Its a strong and gentle people living there
I cant wait to see the wrangle mountain
I cant wait to do what I will do

When I cant wait to get back home to you
