Every Mothers Son
(allen collins -- ronnie vanzant)
Well Ive been ridin a winning horse for a long, long time
Sometimes I wonder is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage of who they are
No man has got it made
If he thinks he does, hes wrong
(chorus)
Every mothers son better hear what I say
Every mothers son will rise and fall someday
Ive seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesnt worry no more
Or hes got such a pretty woman thatll treat him fine
Well my friend has been a fool
It happens everytime
(chorus)
Im not tryin to preach to no one, to no one at all
Ive seen so many of my good friends just rise to fall
cause they got so much money or a woman so fine
Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time
(chorus)
What I say
(chorus)
What I say
Oh, every mothers son will rise and fall someday

Hello Big Man
(carly simon/peter wood)
He started a company
When he was a young man
Handsome, and like a reed so tall
With a face like an old photograph
She would fall for him
Fall for him
She would fall
She wore her mothers cocktail dress
With saddle shoes
She was pretty and she was small
She worked the switchboard
Down the hall from him
Down the hall
Chorus:
He said: hello little woman?
She said: hello big man?
And that was how the wooing
And the winning began
He said: hello little woman?
She said: hello big man?
Of course new york in those days
Was carriage rides and matinees
He took her to a ball
At the waldorf astoria
He would fall for her
Fall for her, he would fall
Chorus
You could hear them laugh
As they danced in their room
And the shadows on the avenue
Rose into a jealous moon
Which swung low in the dawn like
To see what was going on with those two
You keep on expecting
Something to go wrong
And nothing does
They still live in the house
Where we were born
Pictures of us kids
Hanging up all over the walls
And some say he built his empire
For wealth and toil
But, if you ask him why
Hell say he did it all for her
All for her
All for her

Trust
(allen collins -- gary rossington -- ronnie vanzant)
Id like to tell yall a story
About a friend of mine
Who liked to drink good whiskey, oh lord
And have a real good time
His woman, you know she left him
And stole that boys brand new car
And ran out of town with a guitar picker
Said he gonna be a superstar
Sure you are
(chorus)
You cant alway trust your woman
You cant always trust your best friend
Beware of the ones that you need yall
cause those might be the ones that do you in
Dont talk no stuff to no slicker
Dont tell your feelings to your friend
Dont tell your woman that you love her, because
Thats when your trouble begins
There are many ladies here among us
Thatll stab you in the back when you aint around
There are many, so many of your very best friends
Thatll kick you in the head when you are down
Yes they will
(chorus)
Dont you backtalk the police
cause its his job to put you in the jail
Theyll lock you up, boy and throw away the key
And your best friend wont even go your bail
There are many slickers here among us
That are all dressed up in suits and ties
But dont you show your pain, lord in front of them
cause if you do you kiss yourself goodbye, alright

And I recall drinkin wine with one of my friends
Lord, I cant go back again
(chorus)
Am I losin my own way back home
Am I losin a good friend that Ive known

Now my friend wont talk to me let me tell you why
He thinks I ve changed because of a dollar sign
(chorus)
And its so strange when you get just a little money
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny
Theyll blame you
But Im not the one thats here to blame
Its you my friend thats really changed
Its a shame, such a shame
Am I losin once again
Why these things happen, lord I dont understand

Every Time We Fall
(k. hain/m. goldenberg)
Here we are at the crossroads again
And neither of us knows the right way
So here we go trying to get by
The limits of our yesterdays
And if it brings us down
It wouldnt be the first time
Over and over, we put our hearts on the line
Chorus:
Everytime we fall
We get a little stronger, baby
Everytime we walk away
It hurts a little more
Someday we may find
We can make it last this time
Until then, we give it all
Everytime we fall (ohh)
When youre gone
Still burning me
And Im jealous of the sun that warms you
And still I know
Im walkin in your dreams
And I aint seen the last of you
Coz theres a part of you
That never really leaves
Over and over
You keep coming back to me
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
When one road ends
Theres always another one to try
So were goin through these changes
Time and time again
You and me, theres no good-bye
No good-bye
(instrumental)
Coz theres a part of you
That never really leaves
Over and over
You keep coming back to me
Everytime we fall, ohhh
I feel its getting stronger, baby
Stronger, baby. stronger, baby
(repeat chorus)
Everytime we fall
(only makes us stronger)
Everytime we walk away
(hurts just a little bit more)
Someday we may find
(we can make it last this time)
Until then we give it all
Everytime we fall
Everytime we fall
(we get a litle stronger baby)
Everytime we walk away
(hurts just a little bit more)
Someday we may find
We can make it, we cam make it
Until then we give it all
Everytime we fall

As dear to me as You
There will never be another
Closer than a brother
Friend always worth the wait
Faithful as the day

You satnd at the end
And yet You remain
Faithful to say I'm Your friend

Everytime You call me friend

Dangerous Times
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
These are dangerous times
Nothing to care or die for
These are dangerous times
What you want, someone will buy for you
Dont get away
Its so easy to wait
Youve been wearing the green
Ive been wearing the fall
And you said that all was just agreed
(chorus)
Dont get away
Dont get away
I saw a guy out on the street
Said, I know what you need, boy
I can set you fine
I didnt buy his line, because
These are dangerous times
I dont want to get old
You say that everythings fine
Then you leave me standing in the cold
(repeat chorus)
Its so easy to fall
Youve been trying to gain
Ive been trying to stop
But its catching up with me again

Don't Let Her Get Away
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.

Someday
Lying herethinkin' about
When you told me that you just don't care
Sleep alone every night I'm dreaming
'bout the love we used to share
Something's lost, it's a feeling that's gone
Inside I know that it won't be long
Chorus:
Someday
Love will find you girl you'll be with me again
Someday
Will remind you and then we'll be together again
Loving you, everything you wanted
Why'd you have to break my heart
All along both of us remaining
But you chose to let it fall apart
Holding back what you're feeling inside
When I know you can reach out and find
(Chorus)
This time, this time I know we can make it
This time, come on and reach out and take it

Erase 'em All
Building the walls around it
Created self with nothing much
Without a cost to find it
Feeling avoid and losing touch
The borrowed taste his novelty
Could be a product of another's humility
Don't worry your loss wil be his gain
He wouldn't hesitate to turn his back on you
And it might be true
Erase 'em all - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall befoer you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em all
The warning's out it's gonna come to an end and I
Hate to see him label me as a friend tonight
Never question my intentions without the right
Showing me another way to turn his back on you
And it might be you
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em all, Erase 'em all, Erase 'am all,
Erase 'em all
Erase 'em all, Erase 'em all, Erase 'am all,
Erase 'em all
You wanna stay you'd better run
When I catch up you better have a gun
I'm so wound up from playin' dumb
This time it's real and real isn't fun
You never saw this side before
Don't test the water for what's in store
I drew the line and I learned a rule
What's good for me isn't good for you
Erase 'em all
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta

Something In The Way She Moves
Something in the way she moves
Theres something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Evil Woman
You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
Hey woman, you got the blues, cos you aint got no one else to use.
Theres an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
Between here and there.
Theres a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha ha woman its a crying shame,
But you aint got no one else to blame.
Chorus
E-evil woman, e-evil woman, e-evil woman, evil woman
Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin in a daze,
Ha ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the lord gave you,
Its so good that youre feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.
Chorus:repeat
Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now youre tryin to wail a different song,
Ha ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
Drink the cup,
I came runnin every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin in your eyes,
Ha ha very nice to know, that you aint got no place left to go.

Why (Are We Still Friends)
We do almost everything that lovers do,
and that's why it's hard just to be friends with you.
Everytime your heart is broken by the fool,
I want you to know that it hurts me too.
It's hard to wipe your tears away.
I know and that you should be with me.
Now tell me why..
Chorus:
Why, why are we still friends,
when everything says we should be more than we are?
and tell me why,
everytime I find someone that I like,
we end up just being friends.
I would hate for you to find somebody new,
Who you really love, cause it would mean losing you.
But am I a fool girl not to see,
if I'm always scared I'll lose you anyway.
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it's win or lose.
Now tell me..
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like your brother,
I don't wanna be your best friend.
I only wanna be your lover.
When will this end?
If i told you that I wnat to be in your life,
then you could be the woman in mine.
Now tell me

Dont Ask Me No Questions
(gary rossington - ronnie vanzant)
Well everytime that I come home nobody wants to let me be
It seems that all the friends I got just got to come interrogate me
Well, I appreciate your feelings and I dont want to pass you by
But I dont ask you about your business, dont ask me about mine
Well its true I love the money and I love my brand new car
I like drinkin the best of whiskey and playing in a honky tonk bar
But when I come off the road, well I just got to have my time
cause I got to find a break in this action, else Im gonna lose my mind
(chorus)
So, dont ask me no questions
And I wont tell you no lies
So, dont ask me about my business
And I wont tell you goodbye
Thats right
Well, whats your favorite color and do you dig the brothers, is drivin me up a wall
And everytime I think I can sleep, some fool has got to call
Well dont you think that when I come home, I just want a little peace of mind
If you want to talk about the business buddy, youre just wastin time
(chorus)
I said dont ask no stupid questions and I wont send you away
If you want to talk fishin, well I guess thatll be ok

Made In The Shade

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

Dont let that tree fall down on you

Someday Never Comes
First thing I remember was askin papa, why? ,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin, someday youll understand.
Chorus:
Well, Im here to tell you now each and evry mothers son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
cause, someday never comes.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didnt know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
And, someday youll understand.
Chorus
And then, one day in april, I wasnt even there,
For there were many things I didnt know.
A son was born to me; mama held his hand,
Sayin someday youll understand.
Chorus
Think it was september, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And I still see him standing, tryn to be a man;
I said, someday youll understand.

Crown Of Scars
Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
cause youve already won
Forget the pain and the tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of whats been left behind
cause you have got a long a long way to run
But now you dance the rest of the way
And you dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Chorus: now you fly away
And you dont look down now
And you laugh till you cant laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice that you know you know you should not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through
Chorus
And now you laugh
And your tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothings ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good
But now you dance the rest of the way
You dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
