Willie Nelson Album

That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my light on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'

Chorus:
Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

That's my favorite shirt, you always had on.
Man, It sure looked good, ev'ry time you walked on.
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could.
You're good.
Somethin' I can't explain.
You tell me lately I've changed.
If you feel better tell me why are you cryin'?

(Repeat Chorus)

Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone.
Come to bed.

Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down.
Maria just calm down
In these situations I've found it's best not to be proud
and say that you're sorry.

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
on and on and on and on......

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

Scarce as Monday morning feeling washed away
I orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I use to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

The two of us together felt nothing but right
Feeling we're immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions lips stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I use to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

I don't talk to you too much these days
I just thank the Lord, pictures don't fade
I spent time with an Angel just passing through
Now all that's left is this image of you

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
We use to be so happy once upon a time
(Once upon a time)
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line

I guess my heart has settled back to Earth.
I rode a dream so wild and free for all that dream was worth.
But true love is both a blessing and a curse.
Today my heart just settled back to Earth.

Now I know just how you felt that night so long ago.
But the dream for you had ended and you let me know.
So I bounced from sky to sky,
tryin' to keep the dream alive.
But everything I did just made it worse.
Guess my heart just settled back to Earth.

Love created songs that I still sing.
Love we knew still makes the rafters ?red?.
Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth.
For all the hearts that settle back to Earth.

Songs our love created I still sing.
Love we knew still makes the rafters ?red?.
Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth.
For all the hearts that settle back to Earth.

Our song will never have a final verse,
our hearts just finally settled back to Earth

(Jimmy Cliff)

[Originally from The Harder They Come soundtrack]

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

Lyrics'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

I gotta get over you again
I gotta get over you again
I had my heart wide open
And you just walked right on back in

You can't imagine
Just how hard It's been
Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

We never really had a chance
We never really had a chance at all
I was carrying more luggage
Than U-haul truck could haul

And I had It all worked out
We'd only be the best of friends
Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

Maybe I never really got over you at all

And I've been looking in the mirror
Lying like a dog
Supposed to be so easy
Like falling off a log
And I started thinking
Thinking about things that might have been

Now I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
And I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again
I had my heart wide open
And you just walked right on back in
And I gotta get over you
I gotta get over you again

(C. Walker & E. Arnold)

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
LyricsThe chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside that lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside that lucky guy
Who'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
No, You don't know me

You'll never, ever know
No, you don't know me

I'm a rollin stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine

A womans lies make a life like mine
On the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
I started rolling down that lost highway

Now boys don't start to ramblin round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
I started rollin' down that lost highway

Started rolling down that lost highway

Well a man come on the 6 oclock news
Said somebodys been shot, somebodys been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didnt get too far yeah
They didnt get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
Weve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
Its time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send em all to their maker and hell settle em down
You can bet hell set em down cause

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

WILLIE NELSON:
In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

SHANIA TWAIN:
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

BOTH:
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

Overtime, that's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me, overtime

Overtime, that's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me, overtime

Your blue eyes and your black eyelashes
The way you looked at life in your funny way

I guess out of the blue, you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you overtime

Your pale skin and your sexy crooked teeth
The trouble you'd get in in your clumsy way

I guess one afternoon and you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you, overtime

I guess out of the blue, you won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you, overtime

Today I made a point to go somewhere I knew you'd be
I had to know if you still had the same affect on me
And the moment that I saw you there, I knew

No matter what I do, I'm still not over you
I'm still not over you that feeling's still the same
I'm still not over you, I find that nothing's changed

And perhaps some day I'll find somebody new
But now it's much too soon, I'm still not over you

Today I made a point to go somewhere I knew you'd be
I had to know if you still had the same affect on me
And the moment at that I saw you there, I knew

No matter what, I'm still not over you
I'm still not over you that feeling's still all the same
I'm still not over you, I find that nothing's changed

And perhaps some day I'll find somebody new
But now it's much too soon, I'm still not over you
No matter what, I'm still not over you

Too many pain pills too much pot
Tryin to be something that I'm not
Superman Superman
Tryin to do more than I can
I ain't Superman

Well I blew my throat and I blew my tour
I wound up sippin on soup d'jour
I wasn't Superman I wasn't Superman
Try to do more than I can
I wasn't Superman

Well the doctor said son It's a cryin shame
But you ain't Clark Kent and I ain't Lois Lane
You ain't Superman you ain't Superman
Tryin to do more than you can
You ain't Superman

And when I die put it on my stone
God said sucker get your bad ass home
You wasn't Superman you ain't Superman
Tryin to do more than you can
You ain't Superman
Tryin to do more than than you can
But you ain't Superman

Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
Scenes from the past rise before me
Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

(Chorus:)
Visions of someone who loved me
Brings a lone silent tear to my eye
And I know that my life's been a failure
Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

I'm seeing the road that I travel
A road filled with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

(Repeat chorus)

(As Performed by Ray Price on
"San Antonio Rose - A Tribute To The Great Bob Wills)

Tonight in a bar room I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
The scenes of my life pass before me
While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

CHORUS:
A vision of someone who loved me
Brings a lone, silent tear to my eye
I know that my life's been a failure
Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer

I'm seein' the road that I travel
A road paved with heartaches and tears
I'm seein' the past that I've wasted
While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

CHORUS:
I think of the heart that I've broken
And the golden chances that have passed me by
The dreams I once made now are over
As empty as the bubbles in my beer

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue

I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new

(bridge)
worry
why do I let myself worry
wondring
what in the world did I do

crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

[No lyrics]

Well, there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas.
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend.
And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes.
No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

And I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine.
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women.
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other.
Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother.
And inside every cowboy there's a lady that'd love to slip out.

And there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper.
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead.
So when you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister.
You can't fuck with a lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other.
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother.
And inside every lady there's a cowboy who wants to come out.
And inside every cowboy there's a lady that'd love to slip out.
