Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused Yes, and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused Oh but I'm alright, I'm alright Just weary to my bones Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant So far away from home So far away from home Don't know a soul who has not been battered Don't have a friend who feels at ease I don't know a dream that's not been shattered Or diven to its knees Oh, but it's alright, it's alright For we've lived so well so long Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on I wonder what's gone wrong I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly Looking back down at me, smiled reassuredly I dreamed I was flying High up above my eyes could clearly see The statue of liberty sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying We come on the ship they call the Mayflower Come on the ship that sails the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hours And sing an American tune Oh but it's alright, it's alright Can't be forever blessed Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day And I try to get some rest That's all I'm trying, to get some rest |

Why do I still write why do I still call
Why do I still think there's hope for us at all These are the tings I hate but they're the things I do to get over you Sunsets make me cry old pictures make me grin But I don't really care to see your face again These are the things I say but they're so hard to do like gettin' over you You gotta believe that there's a reason that we surrender up our hearts But there's a vantage point and it takes some time to find Where you can see how all the pieces fit as you watch 'em fall apart Now I don't think it's right and you don't know what's wrong My heart keeps asking me just where do we belong It's not as though my life ain't hard enough to do try gettin' over you [ guitar ] You gotta believe that there's a reason... Now other people say stop living in the past But when there's nothin' left it's your memory that lasts It's later than you think but still this isn't through this gettin' over you Now it's later than you think and still this isn't through this gettin' over you |

In this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose Don't give up cause you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around I never thought that I could be affected I thought that we would be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home the place that I was born on the lakeside And as daylight broke I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up you still have us Don't give up we don't need much of anything Don't give up cause somewhere there's a place there's a place where we belong Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore I'm gonna stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below Whatever may come and whatever may go That river's flowing that river's flowing Moved on to another town tried hard to settle down For every job so many men so many men no one needs Don't give up cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one Don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us Don't give up now we're proud of who you are Don't give up you know it's never been easy Don't give up cause I believe there's a place there's a place where we belong ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SCHMIT, TIMOTHY B <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

There's a home place under fire
Tonight in the heartland And the bankers are taking my home And my land from me There's a big achin' hole in my chest Now, where my heart was And a hole in the sky Where God used to be There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland There's a well where the water's so bitter Nobody can drink Ain't no way to get high and my mouth Is so dry that I can't speak Don't they know that I'm dyin' Why's nobody cryin' for me? My American dream Fell apart at the seams You tell me what it means You tell me what it means There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland And bankers are taking the homes And the land away There's a young boy closin' his eyes Tonight in the heartland Who will wake up a man with some land And a loan he can't pay His American dream Fell apart at the seams You tell me what it means You tell me what it means My American dream Fell apart at the seams You tell me what it means You tell me what it means There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland There's a home place under fire Tonight in the heartland |

There's a land where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline When it's time to take your turn Here's a lesson that you must learn You could lose more than you'll ever find When you reach the broken promise land Every dream slips through your hand You'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you paid the price to come to far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Up and down the Rio Grande A thousand footprints in the sand Reveal the secret no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Who's the next to cross the borderline? Hope remains when pride is gone And it keeps you moving on Calling you across the borderline When you reach the broken promise land Every dream slips through your hand You'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you paid the price to come to far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline And you're still just across the borderline |

The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar
I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the Civil War I'm going to Graceland Graceland in Memphis Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poorboys and pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland My traveling companion is nine years old the child of my first marriage But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland She comes back to tell me she's gone As if I didn't know that as if I didn't know my own bed As if I'd never noticed she way she brushed her hair from her forehead And she said losing love is like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart everybody feels the wind blow I'm going to Graceland Graceland in Memphis Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poorboys and pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets ghosts and empties But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland There is a girl in Austin Texas and she calls herself the human trampoline Sometimes when I'm falling flying tumbling in turmoil I say this is what she means She means we're bouncing into Graceland And I see losing love ss like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart everybody feels the wind blow And I'm going to Graceland in Memphis Tennessee I'm going to Graceland For reasons I cannot explain some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend every love every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland Oh oh Graceland I'm going to Graceland |

Let's have a hand for that young cowboy and wish him better luck next time
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo or somewhere farther down the line This time he sure drew a bad one one that nobody could ride By the way he pulled his hat on you know he'd be there for the fight And it's the classic contradiction the unavoidable affliction And it don't take much to predict son the way it always goes Cause one day she'll say she loves you and the next she'll be tired of you And push'll always come to shove you on that midnight rodeo [ guitar ] He almost made it to the buzzer somehow he gave up in the end He put one hand around the other and let that pick up man on in It was his last chance to ride it now he'll have to move along But he knows back in his mind that he won't be away for long And it's the classic contradiction... So let's have a hand for that young cowboy and wish him better luck next time I hope we'll see him up in Fargo or somewhere farther down the line |

And introduce your heart to mine and be my Valentine Summertime we could run and play like summertime With storybooks and nursury rhymes so be my Valentine Candy heart if anyone could you could have a candy heart You're the sweetest of all sweethearts won't you give your heart to me Can't you see I love you valentine won't you be my Valentine And won't you share your space with mine and be my Valentine Candy heart if anyone could... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By NELSON, WILLIE <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

What was it you wanted?
Tell me again so I'll know What's happenin' in there? What's goin' on in your show? What was it you wanted? Could you say it again? I'll be back in a minute You can get it together by then What was it you wanted? You can tell me, I'm back We can start it all over Get it back on the track You got my attention Go ahead, speak What was it you wanted When you were kissin' my cheek? Was there somebody lookin' When you gave me that kiss? Someone there in the shadows? Someone that I might have missed? Is there somethin' you needed Somethin' I don't understand What was it you wanted? Do I have it here in my hand? Whatever you wanted Slipped out of my mind Would you remind me again If you'd be so kind? And has the record been breakin' Did the needle just skip? Is there somebody waitin'? Was there a slip of the lip? What was it you wanted? I ain't keepin' score Are you the same person That was here before? Is it somethin' important? Maybe not What was it you wanted? Tell me again I forgot Whatever you wanted What could it be? Did somebody tell you That you could get it from me? Is it somethin' that comes natural? Is it easy to say? Why do you want it? Who are you anyway? Is the scenery changin'? Am I gettin' it wrong? Is the whole thing goin' backwards? Are they playin' our song? Where were you when it started? Do you want it for free? What was it you wanted? Are you talkin' to me? |

I LOVE THE LIFE I LIVE written by Willie Dixon
I see you watchin' me just like a hawk I don't mind the way you talk But if you touch me something's got to give I live the life I love and I love the life I live My diamond ring and my money too Tomorrow night they could belong to you The girl move me at their will I live the life I love and I love the life I live I may lay a hundred on a bet this time Tomorrow night can't cover your dime Next week I could be over the hill I'm just tryin' to tell you people how I feel You see me rockin' as I pass you by Don't talk about me cause I could be high Just forgive me if you will I live the life I love and I love the life I live Well, I may lay a hundred on a bet this time Tomorrow night can't cover your dime Next week I could be over the hill I'm just tryin' to tell you people how I feel You see me rockin' as I pass you by Don't talk about me cause I could be high Just forgive me if you will I live the life I love and I love the life I live |

They all sat around in a circle laughing and all telling lies
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar se said boys I've got nothing to hide The King and the Queen stood together then the ace he would not be to blame And if the cards were all laid on the table then love could be more than a game And if the stars didn't shine on the water then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am And I have seen my share of long nights and I have told my share of lies And I have run into the darkness when I saw the look in your eyes But if the night didn't lie in the darkness then the daylight would be hard to find And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness I would have never have spoken my mind And if the stars didn't shine on the water... [ guitar ] So if you're going out to Carolina then don't linger in New Mexico And if you think of the one there behind you then you might not feel so alone And if the stars didn't shine on the water... And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am |

Pay no mind to her
She only wants to play But she's not for you She's not for you And I'm the only one Who would let her act this way But she's not for you She's not for you So she told you she found Heaven in your eyes Well I think it only fair To warn you that Sometimes she lies But it's your heart I can't tell you What to do But she's not for you She's not for you She just looks for Greener pastures now and then And when she grows tired She knows Old Faithful Will just take her back again So just leave her here I'm used to feeling blue She's not for you She's not for you She's not for you She's not for you |

Still is still moving to me
And I swim like a fish in the sea all the time But if that's what it takes to be free I don't mind Still is still moving to me Still is still moving to me And it's hard to explain how I feel It won't go in words but I know that it's real I can be moving or I can be still But still is still moving me Still is still moving to me And it's hard to explain how I feel It won't go in words but I know that it's real I can be moving or I can be still But still is still moving me Still is still moving to me And it's hard to explain how I feel It won't go in words but I know that it's real I can be moving or I can be still But still is still moving me Still is still moving to me Still is still moving to me Still is still moving to me |
