LOVE YOU LIKE THE EARTH I love you like the earth I love you like the sky on a sunny day Like the moon and like the sun I love you like the earth I love you like the years I love you like the earth MY FATHER I know you were the angel Oh my Father Now there comes a time Oh my Father Now we sit and read together Oh my Father Oh my Father SONG FOR HARLAN I heard your last breath today Your ghost is all over this town The chair is empty now you're gone I heard your last breath today BALL AND CHAIN Ball & chain around my neck I try to give you the best that I can Ball & chain black and blue You treat me so bad, you got no respect Ball & chain around my heart I'm slaving all day to make you feel good I got the ball & chain blues HOLE IN MY LIFE There's a hole in my life where my lover used to be There's a hole in my life where my mother used to be And I pray to god if you take them all away There's a hole in my life where my brother used to be With all these holes I'm barely hanging on There's a hole in my life where my lover used to be And I pray to find a stronger part of me WOODY Woody, I never knew you This machine heals wounds Woody, I never knew you This machine heals wounds You built the roads I travel This machine heals wounds MISSIN MEZ I miss you like the sun during a long winter And I miss you like the feel of rain to a prisoner I miss you like laughter when there's too much hatred And I miss you like the feel of rain to a prisoner
BILLY JOE Billy Joe had a dream So he asked the lord If you're a chunk of coal Now he drowns in blood If you're a chunk of coal When he finds his wings
SHINE Way out in the darkness Way on far horizon And in your eyes I see the shine I feel your shadow And in your eyes I see the shine Is it all that you dream of? ONE EYE I been getting 'round with one eye open most days I been walking a straight line most days I been standing in my own shoes most days I been eating the fat of the land most days I been stomping on hallowed ground most days I been digging my own grave most days END

FAKE LOVE WITH ME Let’s pretend that we’re in love tonight I’m not chasing rainbows anymore Faking believe in forever We’re only faking love tonight We’re not really lonely HILLBILLY DADDY Everywhere I go they try to put me down I see that motel welcome sign The truckers they don’t worry me Well if you ever get the blues TEX & BUDDY Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on Tex Morton was the man who made us understand Buddy Williams travelled down dusty road, outback towns Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on There are two old guitars with scratches and scars Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on THE WORLD CHANGED TODAY I'm filled with tears Cause the world changed today A monument Cause the world changed today It's different now I'm grieving for Cause the world changed today The world changed today In a message to America MOUNTAIN HOME The roots of my home place run deeper Love filled the old wooden home place My spirit belongs on the mountain The cabin burnt down in ‘67 A new home rose from the ashes My spirit belongs on the mountain Now a new family lives in the old place Mother mountain watches her children GOING CRAZY WITHOUT YOU I’m going crazy without you I’m getting lazy since you’re gone I miss they way you hold me tight I hate the morning when it comes I’m going crazy Can’t wait to see your smiling face You’re the reason that I wrote this crazy song 1800 GO-TELL-JOHN The world has been fighting for hundreds of years So if you see a character acting suspicious I’ve got a friend his name is George George will root out all the evil So if you see a package left unattended But if you feel the danger of all this hatred And Johnny’s the one who’s acting suspicious YOU REMIND ME OF A BAD MEMORY You remind me of bad memory I saw you standing there alone You remind me of bad memory I learnt my lesson all too well You remind me of bad memory

LOSING FAITH You were an oasis And you gave me bread and fishes You were singing my song And you gave me bread and fishes Losing faith, saving face And there’s nothing between us And you gave me bread and fishes There was I DENIED I thought you were someone That there’s love like we’ve never known before So we stumble on unknowing Of a love like I’ve never known before You love me and I love you OUR LADY OF SORROWS Our lady of sorrows You’d call me a sinner I have wandered the valley for too long Our lady of sorrows I have wandered the valley for too long Our lady of sorrows NOT WHO I AM Do you need a lot of women to feel like a man? Do you create a great reality to throw it all away? Do you aim, divide and conquer to cause another war? Do you make all those who love you live a lie as well? Do you stand before your maker and never feel the shame DOIN’WELL You say go to Austin You tell me in Santa Cruz You say New York City Now I know about Nashville And what about New Orleans And I say yeah I’m doin’ well TRASHIN’DA BLUES Yeah I’m going out again Trashin da blues I got sorrow coming on Trashin da blues Trashin da blues Crowded rooms and noisy bars You’ll be just a memory YOUR EYES You don’t know what to say when people ask about me Your mind is cracked and your heart is broken If the windows to my heart are so wide open Now the chambers of my heart hold all your secrets As the flames die I watch the phoenix rise B-GRADE AFFAIR She’s not silk, she’s nylon He’s more generous than handsome It’s a B-grade affair He’ll be gone in the morning It’s a B-grade affair She’s not silk, she’s nylon NEXT BIG NOTHING I’m a gonna be the next big nothing Once I thought that I would be a big star But I’m a gonna be the next big nothing Mama said that I was gonna make it So I’m a gonna be the next big nothing HEARTACHE I get myself so twisted up I’m trying to find an easy way The hell ahead looks better than I’m crying like a little girl Your eyes of blue fire burn into mine And when the silence comes at night
AIN’T NO JOY There ain’t no joy in this heart of mine I work so hard trying to get ahead There ain’t no one to love a weary heart There ain’t no joy in this heart of mine When I die who will mourn for me? There ain’t no joy in this heart of mine There ain’t no joy in this heart of mine

I’D LEAVE ME TOO So your bags are packed Don’t think I don’t understand So darling you’re the lucky one But there’s no door that I can slam So darling you’re the lucky one No I won’t stop you when you go BLACK CLOUD I been feeding the crow of sorrow I been walking old black dog Black cloud I been dreaming of a long black snake Black cloud SHOVE IT Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it Ever since you met me So you can shove it cause I don’t love it Well it aint shakin’ Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it
TO THE BONE Don’t stir the fire of loneliness I’d swim the ocean deep and wide When it’s heaven here on earth If I could fly I’d spread my wings So keep a candle burning bright Don’t stir the fire of loneliness Well it must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that Cooking in the kitchen to keep him satisfied He sits on the table, cause he broke the chair He’s my fatty, look at that jellyroll He’s built for comfort, not for speed WITHOUT YOU When dreams come to haunt me in the middle of the night Still holding on Lonely and forsaken, nothing means a thing Still holding on I don’t have a future living in the past Still holding on Still holding on TOO FAR TO FALL Don’t tell me to smile Once I was happy Down on the bottom So don’t try to cheer me STILL HOLDING ON When dreams come to haunt me in the middle of the night Still holding on Lonely and forsaken, nothing means a thing Still holding on I don’t have a future living in the past Still holding on Still holding on MISSING YOU Train whistle moans in the distance The house stands quiet as a tombstone Then I get to missing you The rain on the water in the morning Then I get to missing you SONG FOR CLAX You lived your life If music is the food of love And though I never cried I’m crying now The very thing that got me through And though I never cried I’m crying now

SUGAR DADDY I wanna be your sugar daddy You can be my sugar daddy Sugar daddy I think you know I wanna give you everything I’m gonna take you dancing Sugar daddy I think you know I wanna give you everything HONKY TONK FOOL Saturday night and I’m falling apart Lovin’ leavin’ and lyin’ Downtown tonight where the music plays loud Lovin’ leavin’ and lyin’ Lovin’ leavin’ and lyin’
ROAD OF REGRET I lay with temptation Path of destruction Travelling the sorry way Path of destruction The party’s all over YOU OPENED MY EYES Shadows on the wall The silence just hung there You opened my eyes Just a flickering candle You opened my eyes WHAT’S IN OUR HEARTS You’re the kind of girl I always dreamed of It takes a thousand tears to make a rainbow Once I couldn’t see The darkest clouds won’t always hide the sunshine Somehow we always knew MEET ME UP THERE Cold is my heart as the night wind blows Mother don’t weep Heaven please take this mournful soul Mother don’t weep Gentle breeze take my very last breath Mother don’t weep
