- Gasoline Alley
Letra
I think I'm goin' mad and it's makin' me sad, It's a yearnin' for my old back door. I realize maybe I was born to lead, better swallow my silly country pride. Goin' home, running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I started from. Goin' home, and I'm running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I was born. When the weather's better and rails unfreeze, And the wind won't whistle 'round my knees, I'll put on my weather suit and catch you in the rain. I'll be home before the milk's upon the door. Goin' home, running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I started from. Goin' home, and I'm running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I was born. But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong, Should I stray to the house on the hill, Let it be known that my intentions were good, I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm goin' away and it's my turn to go,' Should the blood run cold in my veins, Just one favor I'd be askin' of you, Don't bury me here it's too cold. Take me back carry me back down to Gasoline Alley where I started from. Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from. Take me back carry me back down to gasoline Alley where I started from. Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to - It's All Over Now
- Only a Hobo
Letra
As I was out walking on the corner one day I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to carry it on Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Only a hobo, but one more is gone A blanket of newspaper covered his head The step was his pillow The street was his bed One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come and a fistful of money showed the coins that he'd bummed He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry it on Only a hobo, but one more is gone Does it take much of a man to see a whole life go down To look on the world from a hole in the ground Too late for your future like a horse that's gone lame To lie in the gutter and die with no name He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry it on Only a hobo, but one more is gone - My Way of Giving
Letra
I've been told it's just a matter of time before you meet someone who opens your eyes But time's on my side so nevertheless I know the pain of too much happiness [Chorus] It's all part of my way of giving and I'm giving it all to you More than love it's a way of living and what more would you have me do Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt and if at times it seems our love won't work I tell you honey, you must surely realize See all confusion in my cloudy eyes [Chorus] Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt and if at times it seems our love won't work I tell you honey you must surely realize See all confusion in my cloudy eyes [Chorus] - Country Comfort
- Cut Across Shorty
Letra
Now a country boy named Shorty And a city boy named Dan Had to prove who could run the fastest To wed Miss Lucy's hand Now Dan had all the money And he also had the looks But Shorty musta had that something boys That can't be found in books Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across That's what Miss Lucy said Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across You know it's you that I want to wed Wait a minute Now Dan had been in training About a week before the race He made up his mind old Shorty Would end in second place You know Dan with his long legs flying He left Shorty far behind Shorty heard him holler out Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across That's what Miss Lucy said Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across You know it's you that I want to wed But Shorty wasn't worried There was a smile upon his face 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race And just like that old story About the turtle and the hare, you know that thing When Danny crossed over the finish line He found Shorty waiting there Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across That's what Miss Lucy said Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across You know it's you that I want to wed It's you that I want to wed, no no And oh Lord it's you I want to wed It's you that I want to wed - Lady Day
Letra
North winds have made my face a little older And my back is bent through trying too hard My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture To place upon your white-washed wall I'd like to stay but you have not asked me Still I don't really expect you to Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day Are we really that far apart I wish the world could see you now Lady Day Laughing down at your oldest friend The one who shared just about all he had In a one-sided love affair I get scared when I remember too much Wasted time I suppose you could say that Strange it don't seem that way to me But wait a minute I don't even think you're listening Just let me tell you how I really feel I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day When you wanted to be shown the way I loved you then as I love ya now girl - Jo's Lament
