Lazybones
Lazybones, sleepin in the sun....how you spect to get your days work done?
You cant get your days work done......sleepin in the noon day sun
Lazybones, layin in the shade....how you gonna get your cornmeal made?
You cant get no cornmeal made....sleepin in that evening shade
When taters need sprayin, I bet you keep prayin
The bugsll fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin I bet you keep wishin
Them fish dont grab your line
Lazybones, loafin all the day.....how you spect to make a dime that way?
You wont make no dime that way.....loafin in the shade all day

Sleepin Alone
This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it appears on.
For someone whos got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what youre lookin for, theres never quite enough
And all the tea in china wont make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone
There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
Or someone you can call around if youve lost all your pride
Please dont be mistaken. I dont mean to put that down
I know theres times when anything is better than sleepin alone
Sleepin alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
You know its not company you are lookin for
You know its not just pleasure, you know its somethin more
You know its not the answer if its not like comin home
If the one whos there doesnt really care, its worse than sleepin alone
Sleepin alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
For someone whos got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what youre lookin for, theres never quite enough
And all the gold that glitters wont make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone
You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone

Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed
Something's in the air
I answer the phone and there's nobody there
And your changin' the way that you're wearin your hair
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
Something's on my mind
The letters you get, cigarettes that I find
And you know I have to be deaf ,dumb and blind
Not to wonder
Not to wonder
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Gettin' what I get
When I don't get it
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
Who's been sleepin'
Who's been sleepin' in my bed
Little things I miss
The ring on your finger, the fire in your kiss
How the hell could the love that we had come to this
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
I don't understand
The paperboy winks at the telephone man
And the milkman he smiles when he's shakin' my hand
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Gettin'what I get
When I don't get it
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
Who's been sleepin'
Who's been sleepin' in my bed
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Gettin' what I get
When I don't get it
Who's been sleepin' in my bed
Yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
Who's been sleepin'
Who's been sleepin in my bed
Who's been sleepin'in my bed
Who's been sleepin'in my bed
Who's been sleepin'in my bed
Who's been sleepin'in my bed
Who's been

Sleepin
(ron miller/terry erlinger)
Johnnys been runnin hard all his life
cause life never treated him right
Well he aint running now
You see his eyes are closed
They cant hurt him tonight
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Just let him be for a while
Dont wake him, dont take him
To where the people dont smile
Sleepin, my man is sleepin nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, Ill keep him
At home, where hes supposed to be
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
And strugglin, scufflin
Trying to survive
Out there in a richmans world
And now you say my johnny is not alive
But youre wrong, cant you see
Sleepin, hes just sleepin mister
He doesnt rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And Ill just die for his touch
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Without a care to his name
Hes peaceful
Hes quiet
Hes tired of runnin his game
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there
Where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix dont fix a thing
Dont touch him
Johnny put too much in his vanes
And now youre trying to tell me hes gone
I dont believe you
Im just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
Sleepin, hes sleepin
He doesnt rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard

Layin It On The Line
You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that its okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line
Layin it on the line (layin it on the line)
Layin it all, right on the line
Just layin it on the line (layin it on the line)
Layin it all, were livin on the front line
I can see it in the faces
We got trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
And it doesnt matter if youre left or right
You lay it on the line
Layin it on the line (layin it on the line)
Just layin it all, right on the line
Layin it on the line, (layin it on the line)
Layin it all, right on the line
Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Lookin for the voice of reason
Inside this babylon
Got u.s. boys on foreign soil
Spillin their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleepin on the beach
We lay it on the line
Layin it on the line (layin it on the line)
Layin it all, right on the line
Just layin it on the line (layin it on the line)
Layin it all, right on the line
Layin it on the line
Just layin it all
Layin it on the line
Just layin it all

Made In The Shade
(ronnie vanzant)
Well when I was a young-un they used to teach me to play music like this here...
When I look in your face baby
When I look in your eyes
I can tell pretty mama I been wastin time
cause you dont really love me
You just love me for what I am
But you best treat me right, woman
Gonna lose your money man
Well when I first met you baby, you was a red light girl
But I tried to take you to better world
But you would not listen
Still you think I am a fool
Well you had it made in the shade, baby
Dont let that tree fall down on you
Well I work the railroad each and every day
Well I work real hard tryin to make my pay
Lord I never tell you what you supposed to say
Girl you had it made in the shade
Dont let that tree fall down on you

Satin In A Coffin
You were laying on the carpet
like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.
Well you disappeared so often
like you dissolved into coffee.
Are you here right now
or are there probably fossils under your meat?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.
Now the blow's been softened,
since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened,
since the ocean is our coffin.
Often times you know our laughter
is your coffin ever after.
And you know the blow's been softened,
since the world is our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened
since we are our own damn coffins.
Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists.
Everybody's talkin' about death.
You were laying on the carpet
like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Lovin You
If youve been wonderin what Im gonna do
While you are sleepin, am I sleepin, too
Well I just sittin here lovin you
Close my eyes an lovin you
Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
An I have been wonderin just what I would do
If I werent sleepin, had I not found you
Well Id be outside findin you
Id be walkin on the avenue findin you
Well, Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
Now the reason that you never see me runnin round
Fingers on my forehead couldnt calm me down
An he cant even get me up and on my feet
When Ive got to take care of some business on the street
I have been walkin all my streets alone
But I wont keep walkin to keep from goin home
Couldnt quite barely concieve of you
Aw, an Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
If youve been wonderin what Im gonna do
While you are sleepin, am I sleepin, too
Well I just sittin here lovin you
I just close my eyes an lovin you
Aw, an Im just sittin back sittin here lovin you

Poison Ivy
She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
Well you can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around
Measles make mumpy
Mumps'll make you lumpy
Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
Common cold'll cool you
Whooping cough will fool you
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean ah
Of Calamine lotion ah
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around

They Don't Make Hearts (Like They Used To)
When my grandad fell in love with my grandma
Hearts were made to last, Hearts were strong
But over the years they must have changed somehow
Look at us now - something must be wrong.
Chorus:
They dont make hearts like they used to
These days a heart aint worth a dime,
They dont make hearts like they used to
Theyre breaking all the time.
When my folks fell in love, They had no doubt
Whatever came their way, They would just work out
Now someones breaking up, Everytime you turn around
No one seems to know what love is all about.
Chorus:
They dont make hearts like they used to
These days a heart aint worth a dime,
They dont make hearts like they used to
Theyre breaking all the time.
It theres any hope for us to last for long
Then weve got to find the kind of love
Old hearts were built upon.
Chorus:
They dont make hearts like they used to
These days a heart aint worth a dime,
They dont make hearts like they used to
Theyre breaking all the time...

Acquiesce
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe

Wind Wave
Written by dewey bunnell, 1973
Found on hat trick and horse with no name.
Sometimes when Im down on my luck, feelin dizzy
My mind reels back to those days in the city
When early in the morning take a trip, its so pretty
I could never understand why it wasnt so grand
I got a hankerin for a wind wave
I got it through and through
I got a hankerin for somethin home made
Its got to be brand new
Early in the morning when the sun comes up
Im gonna grab a fishin pole and a sleepin bag roll
Head out for the land of the dumb but the pretty
I wont stay long but you never know
I got a hankerin for a wind wave
I got it through and through
I got a hankerin for somethin home made
Its got to be brand new
I got a hankerin for a wind wave
I got it through and through
I got a hankerin for somethin home made
Its got to be brand new
Sometimes when Im down on my luck, feelin dizzy
My mind reels back to those days in the city
Sometimes when Im down on my luck, feelin dizzy
My mind reels back to those days in the city
Sometimes when Im down on my luck, feelin dizzy
My mind reels back to those days in the city ...

You'll Never Know
Why am I here all alone
I'm gettin' growing pains
And I'm feeling so old
I'm gettin' tired,
Walking in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now life has taken it's toll
And now my sanity is gettin' harder to hold
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now don't take advice from a stranger
You can't live your life by what other's do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
How can I make it alone?
It's such a crazy world
And I'm feelin' so stoned
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Just sleepin' in the sand
You can't see the light from an angel
You can't add the price of what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was

And I think that things for me will never work out,
But where, where, where the heart is true,
Ya know lord, your god, will never forsake you.
