Take Another Swing At Me
=========================================================================
I know I sent you packin'
But now I want you back again
Livin' without you ain't no livin' at all
How I miss your naggin'
And your tongue a-waggin'
And the crash of the coffee cup up against the bedroom wall
In the kitchen early in the mornin'
Midnight walkin' the floor
Without your cryin', cussin' and your moanin'
Home ain't home anymore
Chorus:
So come on, honey
Come home and spend my money
Come back, mama, and take another swing at me
I told my friends how I sent you runnin'
Cause you didn't do me right
But if I looked up and saw you comin'
You could do me wrong all night
Chorus

You Take Me Home
I was blinded by the city lights
LA livin' up the crazy life
Lookin' back on how far I'd come
Not quite sure what I was runnin' from
A million miles away from the world I knew
Who'd ever thought it'd lead me back to you...
Chorus
You take me to front porch swings
Mama singin "Cheatin' Heart"
Yeah what a rush
Catchin' lightnin bugs in a mason jar
You take me to county fairs
Bedtime prayers
Old wooden rockin' chairs
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home
Took awhile to finally come around
And separate all that was lost and found
If there's one thing by now I better know
The grass ain't greener where it doesn't grow
I needed someone who would love me like you do
To lead me back to the simple truth
(repeat chorus)
Summer heat
Life's so sweet
And dancin' on daddy's feet
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home
You take me home

Take Me Back Home
vs.1 Well, I've been missin' the place where I was born.
I lived there for 13 years, so when we moved, my heart was torn.
I feel like there's a missin' piece in the puzzle inside of me.
I really hope that I can find where I'm 'sposed to be.
(chorus)
Take me back home where I grew up,
With my other family and my other friends.
Take me to the place that I love,
Where my life had began.
That's where I wanna be,
Until I'm not alone.
I need someone to take me back..
To take me back home.
vs.2 I don't know what I'd do if I was told I couldn't go back.
I don't think anyone'd tell me that, but if they did, now's the time to pack.
I know Kentucky's not my home, and this isn't where I should be.
But if I don't make it down to Georgia, I'mma headin' to NC or Tennessee.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bridge: If I have to stay here any longer,
I think I just might bust.
I miss my momma just so much,
And Georgia's the place I miss most!
(chorus) x 2
Yeah, I really need someone to take me back..
To take me back home!

Im a long long way from home
Mendin a broken heart
Runnin away from a love gone wrong
Tryin to make a new start
An old friend called me up to say
That youve made some wedding plans
Im comin home on that midhight train
And fight for you like a man
Chorus:
Midnight train make your whistle brlow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on time
Oh the thought of another man holdin you
Is drivin me insane
My only chance is to ride all night
I cant let you change your name
Now hey conductor we cant be late
Rollin on down the track
cause you know tomorrows your wedding day
I gotta win my baby back

Chorus:
Someday i'm coming back, and it won't be long
Before you call me and tell me to come home
Someday i'm coming back, and it won't be long
Before i'm home, home and in your arms
What did i do my darling ? that made you send me running
Told you to cast me down and throw me out
What can i tell you honey, if i don't know what i've done
All i can hope is that you ask me to come back home
Chorus
Even in stormy weather, we always stick together
You always kept me near, we're so sincere
So why so sudden the change of heart
Why do i feel like i've done wrong ?
When all that i want is that you ask me to come back home
Chorus
Someday, someway (i never wanted anyone so much)
Someday, someway
What did i do my darling ? that made you send me running
Told you to cast me down and throw me out

Fade To Blue
Faded curtain, faded moon, through a broken sky
Staring at a photograph, the ghost of you and I
Those were times, yeah, those were good times that we shared
We thought those nights would never end....
(Chorus)
Should've seen it comin', runnin' with a fallen angel
Livin' on a broken promise when the day is through
Tryin' to make a life for us, I only knew it my way
I'm just a shadow on the highway..........Fade to Blue.
I hear you cryin' in your sleep
I can feel it 'cross the miles
Love unspoken runs so deep
Like the tears behind your smile
Those were times, yeah, those were hard times that we had
I'd even take them back again.....
(2nd Chorus)
Should've seen it comin', runnin' with a fallen angel
Livin' on a broken promise when the day is through
Tryin' to make a life for us, I only knew it my way
Another shadow on the highway.......Fade to Blue.
......I fade to...I fade to...I fade to blue
(Every night I fade to blue)
(Refrain)
There'll be times, girl, there'll be good times on the way
I'll always be comin' back again.

Way Back Home
A little girl was cryin
For her mama and her daddy
She couldnt understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl cant find her way back home
A little boy went walkin
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin to a stranger
Now the boy cant find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin
Is anybody listening?
Wont you be the childrens eyes
Theyre all alone
The hardest parts not knowing
Where they are or where theyre going
Wont you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Wont you help the children find
The way back home

Wont you help the children find
The way back home

Modern Man Blues
Im tired lord and Im drawn
And Im chilled right to the bone
I crawled home from my work
And this note said she was gone
Said your dinners in the cat
And your love is out the door
Im goin back to my momma
And I dont want you no more, no more
She said she dont want me no more
Shes gone back to her momma
Said shes never never comin back no more
Now a man can take so much
And only heaven knows his limit
But a naggin bitchin woman
Digs a hole and puts him in it
A sophisticated man
Needs a little something on the side
So what you dont get at home
Youve gotta get outside, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Now time goes marching on
And it wont wait for you
Youve gotta take it when its offered
And get it when its due
Now a man can move much faster
Without a millstone around his neck
So if you get the chance to lose it
Youve gotta drop it and run like heck, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone

Tell Mama
TELL MAMA"
Tell Mama why I just come and go
Tell her that I'm just looking for
Some other faces, other names
And that if I'm cold it's not the rain
It's not the rain
CHORUS
When I feel cold, when I feel cold
I miss my home, I miss my home
I miss my home.
When I feel cold, when I feel cold
I miss my home, I miss my home
I miss my home.
I hide my face, beyond my tears
I'd never thought I could miss you dear
It seems to feel so ...
My face near the window dreams far away
What should I do against this pain?
Against this pain?
CHORUS 2x
Tell Mama that time goes by and by
Like the summer rain you'll meet sometimes
So close your eyes and let it rain
Tell her, after sunshine you'll meet the rain
You'll meet the rain
When I feel cold, when I feel cold
I miss my home, I miss my home
I miss my home.
Tell Mama, tell her, tell her I feel cold
(I --- feel cold ---)
When I feel cold, when I feel cold
I miss my home, I miss my home
I miss my home.
When I feel cold, when I feel cold
I miss my home, I miss my home
I miss my home.

I Am Not Hiding
I was runnin from paradise
Busy dancin across thin ice
Then lookin up
I thought somebody called my name
But I kept on walkin on down
On my own way
I was livin but not enough
Turnin my face
From the face of love
Then lookin up
Im certain I saw your eyes
And I dont know how
And I dont know why
But I know Im home
Chorus:
I am not hiding
This time Im deciding
Now Im showin up
To give it all my love
I am not hiding
Now Im standing here
Shoutin out to heaven
Runnin no more
Freedom was overdue
I was starvin for a dream
And the dream was you
Then lookin up
Big love was pourin down
n I dont know how
n I dont know why
But I know Im home
Chorus
The dream of love was more
Than I could have
Id almost given it up
But darlin now its back
I am here
You are real
This time Im learnin to feel
I have found
Paradise
Showin up in your eyes
This is all I know
No more sad goodbyes
Kiss it all hello
Im showin up for my life
Oh, love is what its all about
You gotta go in
To get out
For once in my life
Ive found my home
Home in your arms, darlin
All I know is that Im finally home
Strong enough to see the truth
You gotta go in
To get out

Rosy won't you please come home?

Oh my Rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it please come back.
Rosy won't you please come home?
Since you've joined the upper classes,
You don't know us anymore.
Live and let your troubles pass.

If you don't want to come back?
I would sacrifice all I have
To have a happy home once more.
Rosy won't you please come home?
Two long years have passed away.
Since you tried to change your life,
Christmas wasn't quite the same.
Rosy, Rosy, got any answers?
You are miles across the sea,
And I'll bake a cake if you tell me
You are on the first plane home.
Rosy won't you please come home?
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home?
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

The Pilgrim;Chapter 33
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin yesterdays misfortunes like a smile--
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was goin outa style--
And he keeps right on achangin for the better or the worse,
Searchin for a shrine hes never found--
Never knowin if believin is a blessin or a curse,
Or if the goin up was worth the comin down--
Chorus:
Hes a poet, hes a picker--
Hes a prophet, hes a pusher--
Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when hes stoned--
Hes a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin evry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And hes traded in tomorrow for today--
Runnin from his devils, lord, and reachin for the stars,
And losin all hes loved along the way--
But if this world keeps right on turnin for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around--
>from the rockin of the cradle to the rollin of the hearse,
The goin up was worth the comin down--
Chorus:
Hes a poet, hes a picker--
Hes a prophet, hes a pusher--
Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when hes stoned--
Hes a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin evry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
Theres a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
