My Maria
-------------------
My Maria
Don't you know I've come a long long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria
The sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies
Maria, Maria I love you
My Maria
There were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind
Gypsy lady
You're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when the skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
A Man This Lonely
-------------------------------
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing
--------------------------------------------------------------
She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
Yeah the party's on you and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee high boots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said I been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it down to party street
She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
And I'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She's hard to handle, a little high strung
I'll see her bet and I'll raise her one
I love it when she gets wound up
I'm her Jack of Hearts, she's my Lady Luck
We're gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
Set up the shooters and break out the green
Throw a whole roll of quarters in the boogie machine
We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Babe you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
I Am That Man
--------------------------
You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it's hard to be by yourself
You need someone that's true and strong
Baby someone just came along
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am
Talk is cheap, it ain't worth a dime
So don't talk to me, just give me some more time
I'm gonna show you what love can be
My job won't be done until you believe
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am
No I won't give up
'Cause I am that man
How Long Gone
------------------------------
I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldn't mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
Maybe I didn't pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be
The phone ain't ringin', 'cause you still ain't callin'
I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
I Can't Get Over You
---------------------------------
I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it's no use
My heart just can't leave you alone
My mind won't believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade
And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok
I stare at that door that you walked out
It hits me hard and leaves no doubt
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it's no use
My heart just can't leave you alone
My mind won't believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it's no use
My heart just can't leave you alone
My mind won't believe you're gone
I can't get over you
Can't get over you
I can't get over you
South Of Santa Fe
-------------------------------
Where the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
Shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock
Time stood still when she opened the door
I didn't know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wild as the tumbleweed
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
The sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
Bad news tends to travel fast
I was running from my past
I left her when the morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
The sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
If You See Him/If You See Her
-------------------------------------------------
If you see him, tell him I wish him well
How am I doing? Well, sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her, tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to, say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
Oh I still want her
And I still need him so
Oh I don't know why we let each other go
If you see her, tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed, deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever, say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her
Your Love Don't Take A Backseat To Nothing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get down with music and guitars
I fool around with all kinds of fast cars
It takes you baby to keep my motor running
I smoke the tires and watch the rubber burn
It takes your fire to make my wheels turn
Makes my blood run hot and keeps my heart a humming
But your love don't take a backseat to nothing
Temptation always knocking
Get thee behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
Rockin' and rollin' out here on the fast lane
It can get crazy, downright insane
Got me burning down the highway to your front door
But your love don't take a backseat to nothing
My baby's really somthing
She keeps my motor running
Her love don't take a backseat to nothing
Temptation always knocking
Get thee behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
But your love don't take a backseat to nothing
Your love don't take a backseat to nothing
Husbands And Wives
-----------------------------------
Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't
Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
Yeah it's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
When Love Dies
----------------------------
Love conquers all and someday it'll conquer you
There's nothing finer than falling all in it when love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still ain't history
When love dies it don't rest in peace
You can lock your doors and windows to keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone but the past wont go away
It's waiting right around every corner
With a heartache you don't need
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You can't bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
How does love die then come back a ghost rattling chains
It keeps on haunting my broken heart, driving me insane
I hear it whisper my name in the night
Just like it still lives and breathes
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You can't bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
When love dies it don't rest in peace
(When love dies)
(When love dies)
When love dies it don't rest in peace
(When love dies)
(When love dies)
When love dies it don't rest in peace
You're My Angel
-------------------------------
You're my angel, you see me through
Believe in me, I'll believe in you
Oh fill my heart from your loving well
You're my angel
Pick me up when I'm feeling down
When I stumble on shaky ground
Oh you're my answer when I can't tell
You're my angel
Oh you take me up to heaven
When you spread your loving wings
When I am weary and way behind
When I am clearly out of my mind
Oh when I find I'm in my hell
You're my angel
Oh you're my angel
