Waylon Jennings

[Chorus:]
You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
All I wanted was love to stay

The girl I love, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night, for just one hour
When daylight comes she's gone again

[Chorus]

When you're stuck with the wrong woman
There ain't much that you can do
Just dig a hole and crawl right in it
Then pull the ground right in over you

[Chorus]

Life without love is might empty
But confession is good for your soul
I'd rather have love for just one hour
Then have the world and all it's gold

[Chorus x2]

[Chorus:]
You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
All I wanted was love to stay

The girl I love, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night, for just one hour
When daylight comes she's gone again

[Chorus]

When you're stuck with the wrong woman
There ain't much that you can do
Just dig a hole and crawl right in it
Then pull the ground right in over you

[Chorus]

Life without love is might empty
But confession is good for your soul
I'd rather have love for just one hour
Then have the world and all it's gold

[Chorus x2]

[Chorus:]

I'd rather have love for just one hour
Then have the world and all it's gold

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning 'til the sun went down,
And then he'd fill him a jug mmm-hmm and pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's home-squeezin'
Bwsh, white lightnin'

[Chorus]
Yeah the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book 'im but my pappy kept on cookin'
Bwsh, white lightnin'

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin'
Bwsh, white lightnin'

[Chorus]

Well a city slicker came and said "I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff"
He took one shlug and he drank it right down
And I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's home-squeezin'
Bwsh, white lightnin'

Yeah the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book 'im but my pappy kept on cookin'

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning 'til the sun went down,
And then he'd fill him a jug mmm-hmm and pass it around

You take the lady...I'll take the lesson
I can't say that anyone's...Doin' me wrong
Cause I allways knew....That the girl had a weakness
For whistlers and jugglers....and singers of songs

Now she was a child...Back when I first met her
And the woman inside her...Was just bein' born
And I knew she'd come with me...Cause she had a fever
For whistlers and jugglers...and singers of songs.

And the whistler will whistle her...A song she can dance to
And jugglers will cheer her...When she starts to cry
The singer will sing her.....A bed of red roses]
Where she might let you....lie by her side



She'll laugh in the face...of the wealthy and famous
And you'll never lose her..To the handsome or strong
But all of your life son...Watch over your shoulder
For whistlers and jusgglers...and singers of songas..

Repeat the chorus..........

Well, I woke up this mornin' it was drizzlin' rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he's dead, he's been a long time gone.
Been a long time gone, a long time gone.

If you want to get to heaven, gotta D-I-E
You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
want to get the rabbit out of the L-O-G
You gotta make a cold motion like D-O-G
Like D-O-G, like D-O-G, yeah.

Well, I got a good woman, what's the matter with me?
What makes me want to love every woman I see?
I was trifling when I met her now I'm trifling again
And every woman she sees looks like the place I came in.
Looks like the place I came in place I came in.

I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude
I don't have to work
I don't have to work

Well, I woke up this mornin' it was drizzlin' rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he's dead, he's been a long time gone.
Been a long time gone, a long time gone.

If you want to get to heaven, gotta D-I-E
You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
want to get the rabbit out of the L-O-G
You gotta make a cold motion like D-O-G
Like D-O-G, like D-O-G, yeah.

Well, I got a good woman, what's the matter with me?
What makes me want to love every woman I see?
I was trifling when I met her now I'm trifling again
And every woman she sees looks like the place I came in.
Looks like the place I came in place I came in.

I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude
I don't have to work
I don't have to work

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to lately I've been turning every day
But the booze don't take effect the way it used to
I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down

Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin
Never gone so long as far telling lies to you oh what you've seen is what I've been
And there is nothing I can hide from you you see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now there are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now till I can gain control again
[ steel ]
Just like a light house you must stand alone and mark the sailors journey's end
No matter what sea I've been sailing on I'll always roll this way again


Out on the road...

Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin

This time if you want me to come back, it's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line
This time will be the last time

This time if I should feel unwanted, I won't stay
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today
It's all up to you to keep in mind
This time will be the last time

This time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time

If this time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time

This time if you want me to come back, it's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line

Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today

I came down with broken heart, just to start to my summer.
Boy when you lose the one you love, it's a stone cold bummer.
I just called you up to tell you I don't know what to say.
I wish you knew the way I felt.

[Chorus]
This is gettin' funny, but their ain't nobody laughin' honey,
Come on back home.

Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all.
Can't you see its a mystery, I thought I was your lover.
Yes I could fly, I could lay down and die,
Six one way, half a dozen of the other.
I could say I'm sorry baby, enough's enough.
I'm gonna break right down and ball.

[Chorus]

Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all.
I was out to show you what I good man I could be,
You were out to hurt somebody.

Now I'm going crazy. Really did, and I ain't lying.
Get's so lonesome here in L.A., my summer's turned to autumn.
I don't if you heard it way out there were you you stay,
My heart just hit rock bottom.

I'm runnin' round in circles, I don't know where I am.
Won't you at least give me a call.

[Chorus]

Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all.
How do you feel? I can't stand this all.

I came down with broken heart, just to start to my summer.
Boy when you lose the one you love, it's a stone cold bummer.
I just called you up to tell you I don't know what to say.
I wish you knew the way I felt.

[Chorus]
This is gettin' funny, but their ain't nobody laughin' honey,

Six one way, half a dozen of the other.

How do you feel? I can't stand this all.

Just two good ole boys,
Never meaning no harm.
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Straightenin' the curves,
Flattenin' the hills.
Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will.
Makin' their wayyyyyy, the only way they know how.
Well, that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just two good ole boys,
Wouldn't change if they could.
Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods. [Yee-haw]

Down the dusty Dixie road my old Levi's draggin' tracks
Nobody cares about where I'm going they all know I'm coming back
Wish I had me a true fine woman let her rock me all night long
Baby we could get it together like people do in them old love songs

I can hear somebody laughin' funny how it makes me sad
Lord I wish it was Sunday morning Saturday night sure looking bad
Wish I had me a true fine woman...

I wish I had me a true fine woman...
Yeah baby we could get it together like people do in them old love songs

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I can't offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
And I can't offer you clothes your young body crave
But if you'd love me and say that you'll always be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save honey

When you are weary and tired of another man's gold
If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own
But don't try to answer though I've suffered sorrow untold
If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone

<i>Lyrics &copy; Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i>

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child.

Like a butterfly in springtime
Searching every field for loving's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers
Still could not release her from the hold.

In the backstreets and the bedrooms
All she's found is disappointments bitterly
While the love that she's too often found
Was enough to satisfy her needs.

She's older than the years she holds
And ageing fast with each day passing by
On a downhill run to nowhere
'Cause the hunger never can be satisfied.

The reflection in her mirror's not the image
She remembers in her mind
Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger
And the acid winds of time.

She has danced the tune her demons played
And payed the piper dearly for his song
Empty now of all her pride but still inside
Her hunger's just as strong.

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight, when the Eagle flies

Lately I've heard rumors that the Eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost
I can fly when I have to, if they turn the Eagle loose

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight, when the Eagle flies

Lately I've heard rumors that the Eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost
I can fly when I have to, if they turn the Eagle loose

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
