Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad
And cry myself to sleep You showed me how this town can shatter dreams Another lesson about a naive fool That came to Babylon And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on There ain't no glamor in this tinseled land Of lost and wasted lives And painful scars are all that's left of me But thank you girl for teaching me Brand new ways to be cruel And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music And lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on |

(alan rose, don helms)
One day the train was passing, i caught it comin' by To look this old world over, under god's blue sky My darlin' stood there weepin' as i was lookin' back I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track I like to keep on goin', it helps me when i'm blue I get the urge to travel, that's all i want to do I know i just can't settle down because i like to roam And when i hear that whistle blow i gotta move along: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track I know my baby loves me, i love my baby too But she don't understand me when i'm feelin' blue And when i hear that whistle blow i hurry home to pack And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track: Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track It's callin' me Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way I'll always be Now when i get this feelin' Don't try to hold me back I'll only leave you cryin' In the smoke along the track |

Chorus:
What I don't know might not hurt me If I stay dumb and no one tells But if I find out that you've been cheatin' What I don't know might get you killed Death row in prison don't look half as bad As a life filled with heartache over you So if you're a playin' those dirty little games You better pray that I don't find out the truth Chorus: Smith and Wesson juries hold a real mean, nasty court And the verdict that they pass is never slow So keep on a wearin' that little poker face 'Cause soon enough your cards will have to show Chorus |

Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the road all losers use If you can wade in through the teardrops of my friend I'll meet you at the home of the Blues I walk and I cry as my heartbeat Keeps in time with the drag of my shoes The sun never shines through this window of my mine It's dark here at the home of the Blues But this place is filled with sweetest memories Memories so sweet that I cry Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad That I just want to lay right down and die So if you just lost your sweetheart And you ain't got no good way to choose Come follow me, misery loves company I'll meet you at the home of the Blues But this place is filled with sweetest memories Memories so sweet that I cry Dreams that I had left me feeling oh so bad That I just want to lay right down and die So if you just lost your sweetheart And you ain't got no good way to choose Come follow me, misery loves company Welcome to the home of the Blues I'll take you at the home of the Blues |

Runway Four, Flight 209
Teardrop falls, we start to climb This window seat proved a poor choice It shows the dream that's been destroyed A little baby starts to cry Hey, I would too, if not for pride I owe so much to pride, it's true It brought an end to me and you Chorus: But if I could, I'd turn around Set my feet back on the ground 'Cause all this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery --- Instrumental --- I hear the engines, watch the clouds The whole damn world looks distant now But I can't seem to put no space Between my cold heart and your sweet face Across the aisle they're holding hands Revealing brand new wedding bands But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust Now my life has turned to dust Chorus: But if I could, I'd turn around Set my feet back on the ground 'Cause all this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery All this plane ride holds for me Is a thousand miles of misery... |

You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down To look at you and me, no one would ever know The pain that i've endured 'cause i won't let it show My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew The truth about how i am just your lovesick fool Chorus: You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you There've been rumors of the truth but i've kept it quiet 'cause i'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry Chorus: You've got your little ways to hurt me You know just how to tear me up And leave me in small pieces on the ground You've got your little ways to hurt me They're not too big but they're real tough Just one cold look from you can knock me down Yeah your little ways can knock me to the ground |

Chorus:
Well I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home Now I'm living wild and dangerously But I've got plenty of company When the moon comes up And the sun goes down I can't wait to see the lights of town Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home A pretty little girl and a jug of wine Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds I can't wait to lay my money down Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man And I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl To the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey hey mama can your daddy come home |

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody Just want a chance to be myself I've done a thousand miles of thumbin' I've worn holes in both my heels Trying to find me something better On the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Spent sometime in San Francisco Spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell Took fifteen dollars from that man Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and I headed for the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? How many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? |

She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies I never knew him but he took her away And on my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind I searched til I found them, then I cursed at the sight Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead |

I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died He said way down yonder in the land of cotton Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are On this damned old L.A. street Then he drew a dying breath And laid his head against my chest Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie Chorus He said listen to me son while you still can Run back home to that Southern land Don't you see what life here has done to me? Then he closed those old blue eyes And fell limp against my side No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie Chorus: I sang Dixie as he died The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died I sang Dixie as he died |
