The Black Cowgirl Song
03:34
|
|||
Cowboy life doesn't suit me
Punching doggies isn't easy
Stars ignite and make me hazy
When a prairie tenor sings to me
Life in a saddle gets no glory
My pokes got pop skull guaranteed
Above my bend is Big Sky Country
Every airline road makes me believe
Absquatulate with no direction
They're in the badlands asking questions
Banded, balled up, no persuaders
Pull in your horns and sing to me

Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
Now God stepped out in the cool of the day
Called Adam by his name
But Adam wouldn't answer
Cause he was naked and ashamed
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator

Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
You know Christ had twelve apostles
Three, he led away
He said watch with me
While I go up yonder and pray
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
For Christ rose on Easter morning
Mary and Martha went down to see
He said go and tell my apostles
To meet me in Galilee
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin' John the Revelator
Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals

The Whiskey Wouldn’t Let Me Pray
I fell in to a bottle and nearly drowned
I had to fight not to fade away
I tipped it over slow with my broken heart
‘Cause the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray
Let me pray/Let me pray
I had to fight so hard not to fade away
‘Cause the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray
I swam all the way home through this dirty old town
A bright light to guide the way
I wanna get so high, I’ll tell the world goodbye
‘Cause the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray
Let me pray, let me pray
I had a bright light to show me the way
‘Cause the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray
In my dreams, I saw a city on a hill
The sun shined all the live long day
There's so much light in this heart of mine
But the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray
Let me pray/Let me pray
The sun shined all the livelong day
But the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray
Let me pray/Let me pray
I had a bright light to guide the way
But the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray
The whiskey in the bottle wouldn't let me pray

Oleander

Oleander, Oleander
Won't you stay with me and ease my troubled mind
Oleander, Oleander
Oh, the peace you'd bring might be a friend of mine
Far away from here
Is a place so near
And dear to all who claim
To be glory bound from this evil town
Because the blood done signed our names
SOLO
I feel so much despair
All the live long day
Still it pains me to say
There are moments here and there
When I don't care
If you would carry me away
Oleander, Oleander
Won't you stay with me and ease my troubled mind
Oleander, Oleander
Oh, the peace you'd bring might be a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine

Take It To The Limit
04:38
|
|||
All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue.
I was thinking 'bout a nan who truly loved me
But I never knew.
You know I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life runnin' 'round
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately keep on turning out
And burning out and turning out the same.
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time.
You can spend all your time making money,
You can spend all your love making time.
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in still you're coming back,
You're running back, you're coming back for more.
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

Lonesome Road
02:29
|
|||
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down the lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on
True love, true love, what have I done
That you should treat me so?
You caused me to walk and talk
Like I never did before
Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
SOLO
Weary of totin' such heavy load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on
Before you travel on

This Yearning Thing
03:43
|
|||
This yearning thing I fear will take me under
Like the pull I feel when you are near me
Catastrophic lovely hurting thing I feel for you
This yearning thing
It holds me close and sometimes makes me wonder
When the special one that you adore
Will someday someday soon embrace the heartache that you bring
This yearning thing
This yearning thing is a pain that never goes
This yearning thing it just grows and grows and grows
Evermore alive and lingering
This yearning thing
SOLO
This yearning thing must be some kind of hunger
It shadows me and mesmerizes
Pretty jagged painful bittersweetness on a wing
This yearning thing
It lets me go and never lets me notice
That the time to go has long since passed
Pressing down upon us so with nothing remaininhg
This yearning thing
This yearning thing is a pain that never goes
This yearning thing it just grows and grows and grows
Evermore alive and lingering
This yearning thing
This yearning thing

Our Dying Day
03:07
|
|||
I will never know why
You're with me as time goes by
The love that we feel In time reveals
Hearts broken and bound by His side
The truth will never lead us astray
The dawn will be endless someday
And as we grow/we'll see how little we know
Until our dying day
I will never know why
After so long, you're still by my side
This love can't go away
It's promised to stay
Until the end of time
The truth will never lead us astray
The dawn will be endless someday
And as we grow/we'll see how little we know
Until our dying day
SOLO
The truth will never lead me astray
The dawn will be endless someday
And as we grow, we'll see how little we know
Until our dying day
And as we grow/we'll see how little we know
Until our dying day

All That We Are
04:06
|

Here you come looking for home
No matter how far you get
You still have a million miles to go
God knows how hard you tried
You tried to make it on your own
But no one does anything alone
If you open your heart, you'll fly when your feet touch the ground
Hold my hand and He'll lift us up when the world puts us down
When love is all we have and all that we are
So you think you're the brave ones
In the land of the free
With a heart full of fear and a mouthful of hate
While millions of bullets fill the streets
The truth is, there's so many lies
We're fighting a battle that's over and done
And a war for hearts and minds that 's just begun
If you open your heart, you'll fly when your feet touch the ground
Hold my hand and He'll lift us up when the world puts us down
When love is all we have and all that we are
When love is all we have and all that we are
When love is all we have and all that we are

He Thinks I Still Care
02:37
|
|||
Just because I asked a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy gal I used to be
He thinks I still care
But if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish
Oh where would he get such an idea?
Just because I asked a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
He thinks I still care

Wishin' On The Cars
02:25
|
|||
When your world is on fire
Your feet are out of juice
Losing balance on the wire
And screws are coming loose
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
When your parking lots are empty
Your dinners getting cold
And the wind is stealing whispers
From the stories that we told
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Though some miles may lay between us
I swear I'll never be too far
I'll keep my porchlight burning
And I'll keep wishing on the cars
Til I am there with you
I'll be there for you

I Love You
03:23
|
|||
We had a ways to go before the day he left me
He said he didn’t want to make me blue
Or break my heart in two
Somehow you hurt me so
And that’s a thing you’ll never know
‘Cause I never stopped to tell you that I love you
I had a ways to go before the day I saw him
He looked grim as he was walking down the street
His life seemed so complete
Meet me somewhere in my dreams
And hold me once again
‘Cause I just can’t wait to tell you that I love you
BRIDGE:
I love you for the time we spent away
Into a wonderland of sun and haze
But then your open heart became a maze
And I couldn’t make up for lost yesterdays
We had a ways to go before we said we’re sorry
We left each other dangling on a line
So much wasted time
I promise that I’ll answer when you call me up next time
‘Cause I just can’t wait to tell you that I love you
SOLO
