Conway Twitty | Born To Lose | /c/conway+twitty/born+to+lose_20512011.html | Born to lose I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losin' you
Born to lose it's been so hard to bear
And when I've waited and I found that you're not there
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losin' you
Mhm all my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm I'm losin' you

Conway Twitty | Born To Sing The Blues | /c/conway+twitty/born+to+sing+the+blues_20822115.html | Born to sing the blues
So tired an' worn, just singin' the blues
Alone right from the start,
I walked alone with blues in my heart.
True love, (true love) I've never known (I've never known.)
Everything (everything) I do is wrong. (all wrong.)
But wrong, I've always been
It's hard to go on when I never win.
My life, (my life) my destiny, (my destiny.)
Is loneliness (loneliness) and misery. (misery.)
My life, I didn't choose.
I guess, I was born to sing the blues.
The lonesome blues,
The weary blues

Conway Twitty | Bring It On Home To Your Woman | /c/conway+twitty/bring+it+on+home+to+your+woman_20512001.html | Oh, I've got a few good words to lay on everybody
It's about a man too blind to understand
The way I've treated my woman was a doggone pity
But we know there's a weakness in every man.
Just like a fool I went and left my baby crying
A different kind of lovin' I had on my mind
But everybody that I met was either cheatin' or lying
When I get a good thing at home all the time.
It's a lonely old feeling when you go from town to town
When you can't get the woman at home off your mind
I'm so tired of livin' in this new world that I've found
Lord I hope I didn't waste too much time.
I gotta put my pride aside and call my baby
Gotta do it now can't wait another day
I dialed a number and then I heard the voice of my lady
It blew my mind when I heard her say.
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
I've got a lot of lovin' a waitin' I hope you ain't forgot
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
And when you get there you better
Give me all the love you've got.
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
I've got a lot of lovin' a waitin' I hope you ain't forgot
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
And when you get there you better
Give me all the love you've got...

Conway Twitty | Burn Georgia Burn | /c/conway+twitty/burn+georgia+burn_20512000.html | From a kiss to a small spark, in a heartbeat a raging fire
With hungry flames burning higher, Georgia gave to her desire
She said no for so long, to temptation 'she finally turned
But when she gave, she gave it all, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Now twenty-five and the first time makes a woman kinda wild
When wall flowers turn to roses, they take on a certain style
Now I ain't sayin' she was wrong, as she took a wayward turn
But I remember the fire I started, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control

Conway Twitty | But I Dropped It | /c/conway+twitty/but+i+dropped+it_20511999.html | I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
It didn't lay there very long I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough I wasn't bear enough and she got lonely
I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
And good things don't just lay around neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket

Conway Twitty | By Heart | /c/conway+twitty/by+heart_20511998.html | Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.
And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.
And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
She knows my heart...

Conway Twitty | By The Time I Get To Phoenix | /c/conway+twitty/by+the+time+i+get+to+phoenix_20511997.html | By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'.
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
'Cause I've left that girl so many time before.
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'.
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin',
Off the wall, that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin',
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
'Tho' time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go...

Conway Twitty | Bye Bye Love | /c/conway+twitty/bye+bye+love_20511996.html | Bye bye love bye bye happiness hello loneliness I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye bye my love bye bye
There goes my baby with someone new she sure looks happy and I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye happiness hello loneliness I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love bye bye
Well I'm through with you Conway I'm through with love
Yeah I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free my lovin' baby is through with me
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...

Conway Twitty | Call It What You Want To | /c/conway+twitty/call+it+what+you+want+to_20511995.html | You tell me that it's over
I'm just someone you think of now and then
And you say that you once loved me
But the love you had for me came to an end.
And you tell me that my memory
Is just a dying ember not a flame?
Well, you can call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name.
Call it what you want to
I still bring out the want to in your eyes
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised.
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing
You can call it what you want to
I still bring out the want to in your eyes.
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing.
Baby, call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name

Conway Twitty | Candy | /c/conway+twitty/candy_20511992.html | Candy came from LA California he was a picture of a perfect man
His hair was styled and his silken suits were tailored
He drove a red imported sports sedan
Candy was a traveling playboy his heart was made of solid stone
He would find them love 'em and then he'd leave 'em
Candy lived upon a throne
My baby fell just like he wanted Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy but candy won't last long
Well baby's gotta sweet tooth for Candy
She's gonna find her taste is not so sweet
She thinks she has found a real Jim Dandy
We'll wait till she finds he's not for keeps
[ steel ]
Candy is a whole lot like him
Candy's sweet but when it's gone it's gone
It'll melt away then tell me who's the sucker
Well that's when my baby will come home
My baby fell just like he wanted Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy oh Candy won't last long
Yeah Candy you won't last long

Conway Twitty | C'est Si Bon | /c/conway+twitty/cest+si+bon_20177977.html | Oh, c'est si bon (c'est si bon)
Lovers say that in France (do do do)
Aw, when they thrill to romance (c'est si bon)
It means it's, oh, so good (do do do)
Oh, c'est si bon (c'est si bon)
So I say it to you (do do do)
Like the French people do (c'est si bon)
Because it's, oh, so good (do do do)
Every word, every sigh
Every kiss, dear
Leads to only one thought
And is this, dear
Oh, it's so good (it's so good)
Nothing else can replace (do do do)
Just your slightest embrace (c'est si bon)
And if you only would
Be my own for the rest of my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, c'est si bon
(C'est si bon)
Now how about saying that in English, honey
(Lovers say that in France)
Sounds like Greek to me, baby
(When they thrill to romance)
Romance, now I got you, honey
(It means that it's so good)
Oh, now my own for the rest of my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, c'est si bon
(Ooh, c'est si bon)
Lemme hear it again, baby
(Ooh, c'est si bon)
I'm beginning to like this French jazz
(Ooh, c'est si bon)
Yeah, one more time
(Ooh, c'est si bon)

Conway Twitty | Child With Child | /c/conway+twitty/child+with+child_20165940.html | She was still just a baby in her mama's eyes
Daddy's little girl only yesterday, oh my how time flies
She learned all about romance from watching tv
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.
Child With child, mother to be
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep
Child With child, lying awake
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her, growing each day.
Child With child. Mother to be
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep
Child With child, lying awake
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
She's just a child with child...

Conway Twitty | City Lights | /c/conway+twitty/city+lights_20511994.html | A bright array of city lights as far as I can see
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
The cabarets and honky-tonks their flashing signs invite
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.
Lights that say forget her name in a glass of sherry wine
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine
They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.
The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night
But God who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights

Conway Twitty | Close Enough To Love | /c/conway+twitty/close+enough+to+love_20512007.html | Your eyes reflect the sadness
Inside your broken heart
You're afraid to love again so openly
I'd gladly spend my lifetime
Repairing every part
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
And if you're hung up on the memory
Of some other man
When you close your eyes, if it's still him you see
If I can't have you completely
I'll cherish what I can
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
Pickin' up the pieces
Is hard to do alone
And now your mind is set on stayin' free
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me...

Conway Twitty | Clown | /c/conway+twitty/the+clown_20170098.html | You love the way it makes me feel when I can't catch my breath
Like walkin' on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death
You're always high above me and I'm always fallin' down
Our love's just a circus baby, and I'm just the clown
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause our loves a circus and I'm just the clown
Everyone's in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's just an act
Ah, but someday when it's over and we bring the big top down
You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause you love the circus, but you don't love the clown

Conway Twitty | Coal Miner's Daughter | /c/conway+twitty/coal+miners+daughter_20512006.html | Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
Mommie rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light
And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'.
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain there was no need
She'd smile in Mommie's understanding way.
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from sellin' a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere.
Yeah!, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well - the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler.
Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore
Except the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter.

Conway Twitty | Comfy 'N Cozy | /c/conway+twitty/comfy+n+cozy_20455821.html | Here we are in a warm embrace
As cozy as a kitten by a fireplace
The lights are dim with a mellow glow
The musics playin' soft 'n low.
And everything's rosy, oh yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm
Let's forget the whole world outside
Nothing else matters just you and I
Let's unhook the old telephone
'Cause we just want to be left alone.
With everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh, huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Wanna put another log on the fireplace
But I can't stand leavin' your embrace, hmm, hmm, hmm hmm
Baby now, everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy

Conway Twitty | Country Bumpkin | /c/conway+twitty/country+bumpkin_20455820.html | (Don Wayne)
He walked into the bar and parked his lanky frame upon a tall bar stool
With a long soft southern drawl said I'll just have a glass of anything that's
cool
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes slowly looked me up and down
And she said I wonder how on earth that country bumpkin found his way to town
And she said hello country bumpkin how's the frost out on the pumpkin
I've seen some sights but man you're somethin'
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
Just a short year later in a bed of joy filled tears and death like pain
Into this wondrous world of many wonders another wonder came
That same woman's face was wrapped up in a raptured look of love and
tenderness
As I marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy child feeding at her breast
And she said hello country bumpkin fresh as frost out on the pumpkins
I've seen some sights but babe you're somethin' mommy loves her country
bumpkin
Forty years of hard work later in a simple quiet and peaceful country place
The heavy hand of time had not erased the raptured wonder from my woman's face
She was lying on her death bed knowing fully well her race was nearly run
Byt she softly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband and her son
And I said so long country bumpkins the frost is gone now from the pumpkins
I've seem some sights and life's been somethin' see you later country bumpkins
See you later country bumpkins

Conway Twitty | Crazy Arms | /c/conway+twitty/crazy+arms_20512141.html | Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach

Conway Twitty | Crazy In Love | /c/conway+twitty/crazy+in+love_20177904.html | Ain't it funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
It ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly just watch it fade away
Neither will admit it, we're both aching to say
Ooh, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooh, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love
Oh, it used to be so easy
One touch and you were high
And I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you
Ooh, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooh, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love
We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
Crazy in love
Crazy in love

Conway Twitty | Cry Baby Heart | /c/conway+twitty/cry+baby+heart_20511988.html | I'd say that I don't worry
And our parting brought no pain
I'd say that I'd be happy
If we'd never meet again
About the time I get 'em fooled
And think I'm really smart
I realize that I can't hide
My cryin' baby heart
Cry baby heart
I wished you were at home
So I could really laugh and say
I'm better off alone
But like an actor cannot play
I fumble through my part
I realize that I can't hide
My cry baby heart

Conway Twitty | D-I-V-O-R-C-E | /c/conway+twitty/d+i+v+o+r+c+e_20511989.html | Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...

Conway Twitty | Danny Boy | /c/conway+twitty/danny+boy_20185689.html | Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and even down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and even down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Put your arms around me baby please
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Kiss me one more time before you leave.
If you must go be on your way
Before I start in begging you to stay with me
I am getting weak from being strong
The first thing that you know I'll be down on my knees.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Always in my heart and in my thoughts
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Havin' loved you once I've never stopped.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Put your arms around me baby please

Conway Twitty | Darling Days | /c/conway+twitty/darling+days_20511991.html | If I never love again I won't feel cheated
You gave me more than I knew how to use
On the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autumn years won't be with you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my hand
I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh, what I'd give to live those darling days again.
Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yesterdays we knew
If I knew for sure the world would end tomorrow
I have to spend my last days loving you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my hand
I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh, what I'd give to live those darling days again.
Oh, what I'd give to live those darling days again

Conway Twitty | Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie | /c/conway+twitty/darling+you+know+i+wouldnt+lie_20188110.html | Here I am late again for the last time
And like I promised I just told her goodbye
Please believe me for this time, it's really over
And darling you know I wouldn't lie
Didn't I come and tell you about her
How temptation lured she and I
But now I know it was only fascination
And darling you know I wouldn't lie
I had to led her down easy as slow as I could
After all she's got feelings too
But it took a little longer than I thought it would
But this time she knows we're really through
She wanted to hold me forever
And this lipstick shows her final try
And these tears on my shoulders are provin' that she failed
And darling you know I wouldn't lie

Conway Twitty | Desperado Love | /c/conway+twitty/desperado+love_20186822.html | Should I just ride in and steal you away
Don't know what else to do
I got a desperado love for you
They say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I'd have a desperado love for you
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperadoes do
I got a desperado love for you
It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperadoes do
I got a desperado love for you
I got a desperado love for you

Conway Twitty | Diana | /c/conway+twitty/diana_20805914.html | I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please, stay by me, Diana.
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me?
Oh Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please, stay with me, Diana.
Oh my darlin', oh my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart.
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, ho ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with a-all your might
Oh, please, stay by me Diana.
Oh, please, Diana...

Conway Twitty | Did We Have To Come This Far | /c/conway+twitty/did+we+have+to+come+this+far_20511982.html | When you were only friendly on my mind
Before your love became my way of life
You knew that it would rain on down the line
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye
Why did you keep puttin' off your leaving
When staying was the last thing on your mind
You could have turned around and spared my feelings
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye
What made you give my love a chance to live
Just long enough to be afraid to die
You knew I wanted more than you would give
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye
Why did you keep puttin'

Conway Twitty | Dim Lonely Places | /c/conway+twitty/dim+lonely+places_20813353.html | Dim lonely places, old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember that night in December
When she walked right out of my world
And now it's all over, it's ending, it's over
When I want to be with my girl.
I go back to those dim lonely places
Old familiar faces stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember that night in December
When she walked right out of my world
And now it's all over, it's ending, and it's over
When I want yo be with my girl.
I go back to those dim lonely places
Old familiar faces stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection
A picture of what used to be...

Conway Twitty | Donna's Dream | /c/conway+twitty/donnas+dream_20869853.html | Dream Donna dream
Dream Donna dream.
In a sleepy little border town
Lives the cutest girl
For miles around
Never dreamed of things
Like wealth and fame
Oh Donna is her name.
Every night when she's fast asleep
Donna always dreams a dream of me
I know all her little plans and schemes
I'm the boy in Donna dream.
Every night
When the moon is bright
I meet my Donna
And I hold her tight
Her angel eyes
And her golden hair
When Donna needs a dream lover
I'll be there.
When she wakes up
And I'm all alone
I lose my Donna
With every dawn
I'll be with her
Once again you see
When my Donna dreams of me.
She gonna meet me
Someday for sure
I may even be the boy next door
And if she finds me
She's gonna to know
That I'm her dream lover
And I need her so.
But until I am reality
I know my Donna's
Gonna dream of me
I know all her little plans and schemes
I'm the boy in Donna's dream
Dream Donna dream
Dream Donna dream...

Conway Twitty | Don't Call Him A Cowboy | /c/conway+twitty/dont+call+him+a+cowboy_20184016.html | So you came from New York city
And you want to see the sights
You've heard all about those cowboys
And their crazy Texas nights
I see you've got your eye on something
Leaning on the bar
But the toughest ride he's ever had
Was in his foreign car
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and them fancy boots
Don't tell you what's inside, no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
He was a Hollywood idea
Of the wild and wooly west
In his French designer blue jeans
And his custom tailored vest
You're thinkin' he's the real thing
But I think you oughta know
He can't even make it through
A one night rodeo, no
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and them fancy boots
Don't tell you what's inside, no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and them fancy boots
Don't tell you what's inside, no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride

Conway Twitty | Don't Cry Daddy | /c/conway+twitty/dont+cry+daddy_20511983.html | Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing around my head
My pillow still wet
From last nights tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee cup
Keeps crying out
And ringing in my ears.
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Johnny
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry.
Why must children be the first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true somehow it don't seem right
And ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight?
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Joni
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again.
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Well daddy, please don't cry

Conway Twitty | Don't Cry Joni | /c/conway+twitty/dont+cry+joni_20184310.html | Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Savin' all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Savin' all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say
Joni, Joni, please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen I'm twenty two
Joni I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But her words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni said to me
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Savin' all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say
Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.

Conway Twitty | Don't It Make You Lonely | /c/conway+twitty/dont+it+make+you+lonely_20185978.html | Couples walking in the park
Seeing them just breaks my heart in two, right in two
Wonder how you spend your time?
Do you know that I'm still missing you, missing you
Am I the only one who can't stand a midnight train
Or do you hear that whistle moan and want my love again?
Ah, don't it make you lonely?
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud?
Don't it make you want me?
Don't it make you wanna work it out?
Don't it make your heart ache?
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
When you hear a sad song play
Does a teardrop lay there in your eye, do you cry?
When you're alone and the day is done
Don't you wish we'd give it one more try
Ah, just one more try?
And do you reach out in the middle of the night to find me gone
'Cause if you feel the way I do then baby why don't you come home?
Ah, don't it make you lonely?
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud?
Don't it make you want me?
Don't it make you wanna work it out?
Don't it make your heart ache?
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?

And you're still thinking bout the things she had to say
She said leaving you was hard to do and it's sad we had to part
But don't let it go to your heart
So she told you she thinks of you now and then
Now you're thinking she might take you back again
But it's only cause she's lonely and she's about to fall apart
So don't let it go to your heart
Cause I'm your heart and I can tell you that it doesn't mean a thing
She's just like you she hangs on to a helpless hopeless dream
She's made the break and it's hard to take
As you watch her teardrops start
But don't let it go to your heart

Seeking to find love's treasures untold
And just when I reached the end of my journey

The first step was heartache I took when you cheated
The next step was heartbreak he held you so near
The last step I'm taking now that you love another
Because you lie I cry these eternal tears.
My fortune to love like rain from above
I never know eternaly I love you so.
My journey is over now and I realized
These eternal tears forever I'll cry.

And songs about the heroes of our land
But there's one guy around who never lets us down
The every day family man
He works hard to pay the mortgage and the taxes
And there's lots of things that he don't understands
While we spend millions on the moon when the world may blow out soon
The every day family man
You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home he's a king of his Rome
The every day family man

He won't be there when awards and all are given
But he's close by when his neighbor needs a hand
When he tells his kids goodnight the whole world for him is right
The every day family man
Yeah you won't read it in the headlines...

It's always hard for me to compromise
I get to thinkin' 'bout my freedom
And all the ways that I could start another life
And I wonder if our forever could be coming to an end
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
I've finally come to realize
That ups and downs are all a part of love
And, there's just no better feelin'
When the angers dies, and we start making up
And, from that new beginning we come back to being friends
And, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win

Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you darling

And only been in love a night or two

And all they see is a weekend rendezvous
Guess we look like cheaters
Lovers lyin' low
We must be deceivers
'Cause baby they don't know
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on for years
You make it easy to be a one woman man
Just look at you sitting there
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere
It don't take a rainy night
Or music in the dark
But baby when your body sends
A message to my heart
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves

On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the you. S. A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be

Never believed that they'd end up like me.

It's not my fault that I was just
Born with a case of wonder lust.
But, I'm changing fast
You'll put it all in my past
No more running around
Feel like I'm fit to be tied down.
I've loved some women in my time
So, I'll leave some broken hearts behind
I know they'll cuss me that much more
But, I've found what I've been searchin' for.
Cause, I'm changing fast
You'll put it all in my past
No more running around
I'm finally fit to be tied down.

Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Oh we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
But neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da la da da da
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your
fate
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board
Lotten da la da da da
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a lot

Wash her pretty face dry her eyes

Just sorta kinda took it for granted.
And never did ask again
So just hold her hand God that's all
And if she should stumble please don't let her fall
God bless America again.
You know I don't understand every thing I'm readin' here
About what's wrong with America
But when you don't have a lotta book learnin'
I guess there's a lotta things you don't understand.
But let me say this God she's like a mother to me
And all I am or ever hoped to be I owe to you and to her
Wash her pretty face dry her eyes

Conway Twitty | Good Time Charlies Got The Blues | /c/conway+twitty/good+time+charlies+got+the+blues_20870559.html | Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town.
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasted mine.
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at forty-three
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long you lose your life.
I'm hopin' time will ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and setlle down
But everybody's leavin' town.
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues.

Conway Twitty | Goodbye Time | /c/conway+twitty/goodbye+time_20203566.html | Goodbye Time
It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything
You say it's different now
And you keep staring at the door
How can you walk away
Don't I matter anymore
[Chorus]
If being free
Is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late
For love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts
The hurt of wasted years
Well it's been fun
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway
[Chorus]

Conway Twitty | Green Eyes | /c/conway+twitty/green+eyes_20870565.html | It's not easy
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...

Hang up the phone before I die.)
Well I just called you up to say hello (hello)
And to say that I still love you so
Then heard a voice and asked who's there with you
Heard you answer just my brother Louie.
Well, hang up the phone before I cry
Oh, hang up the phone before I die
For our love can never ever be
And by the way your brother's here with me.
There's nothing you can do to ease the pain
Let's both forget and try to start again
Go tell the guy that's takin' you from me
That he can have you now I set you free.
Well, hang up the phone before I cry
Oh, hang up the phone before I die
For our love can never ever be
And by the way your brother's here with me.
Hang up the phone, hang up the phone.

It seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo on a string
I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growing 'cause your love keeps a showing
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on
A love that's strong as mine will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams
You've got me where you want me you keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on

Conway Twitty | Hearts | /c/conway+twitty/hearts_20870550.html | Eyes, you can trust your eyes
If you see someone across the room
You know it's still too soon if you say don't
Your eyes won't.
Hands they'll understand
And if you tell them not to touch
The last time hurt too much
You can depend on your hands.
But love'd get you anyway hey, hey, hey
Cause no matter what you say
Hearts, don't pay no mind, oh hearts
Rush right in every time and then hearts get torn apart
What can we do with our foolish hearts?
Your minds a trustworthy kind
If you say don't start dreamin' now
It'll try not to somehow
And you'll find you can trust your mind.
And your voice won't let you down
If you don't want to say hello
Well, that's alright you know
You can count on your voice.
But love'd get you anyway hey, hey, hey
Cause no matter what you say
Hearts, don't pay no mind, oh hearts
Rush right in every time and then hearts get torn apart
What can we do with our foolish hearts?
Hearts, don't pay no mind, oh hearts

Conway Twitty | Heavy Tears | /c/conway+twitty/heavy+tears_20870551.html | One day you're happy the next day you're blue
You feel like the whole world's comin' right down on you
There ain't nothin' wrong but then there ain't nothin' right
It's just the kind of thing that keeps you up all night
Heavy tears in your eyes
Lord don't they hurt you when you cry
Heavy tears in your eyes
And when they hit the ground don't they make a terrible sound
Maybe she loves you and maybe it's a joke
And maybe that fire was just a whole lot of smoke
You don't feel warm but then you don't feel cold
You're just gettin' weary you're just gettin' old
Heavy tears in your eyes
And your mind can't take this worry and your heart feels underfed
Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow or maybe you'll just stay in bed
Don't call the doctor and ask his advice
Cause he's felt the same way himself once or twice
And there ain't no cure for the tear in your eye
You just gotta sit there you just gotta cry
Heavy tears in your eyes

Let me hold you , in my arms one more time
Thank ya, darlin', may God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the thing you seek to find

Gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart ta forgive me
Come back, darlin', I'll be waiting for you

Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon your skin
Like the flowers on the wall.
Come and lay here by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong
And I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong

Help me make it through the night.
You know it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night...

Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean
It's the stillness it's the silence that I can hardly take
For I can hear I can hear my heart break.
Now these arms are mighty lonesome guess they're missing you
And I have to admit it honey I miss you too
I sit here in the silence half asleep half awake
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.
Empty days without number lonely nights I can't bear
That old world's gone right on by me who's to know who's to care
I keep listening for your footsteps little sound you used to make
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.
My heart break...

Counting Crows | 40 Years | /c/counting+crows/40+years_20033526.html | I was born in the jungle
With the sickening smell of cinnamon in the air
I was born in a white hole and I can't believe the colors here today
Stalk on a circle
Well I've never been blessed with elephant's memory
Riding a red line nowhere
If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for
If it takes 40 years I'll put the money away
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir
If it takes 40 years I'll walk the thunder and the rain
I was born in a good home
Where the rising cost of raising children
Was not a factor and you can't believe the things it does to me
I'm filled with the white noise
Well I never did much of anything anyway
Jump on a big train no where
[Chorus:]
I wanna buy me a good heart, and a conscience,
And maybe raise some children
I wanna get me a good wife,
And a garden, garden, garden, garden.
Wanna start me a new life with a six foot color television-
Wanna start me a new life somewhere.
I was born on a warm night
On the right coast, of southeastern America.
Dead on arrival, but you can't believe the things you hear today.
I'll fly me a white plane over
Water -over blue and green and land in the ocean somewhere.
[Chorus:]

Counting Crows | 4 White Stallions | /c/counting+crows/4+white+stallions_20815280.html | She had four white stallions coming up around the bend
Four strong angels at her command to send
Four more seasons, for all that's broken to mend
I got four good reasons why I cant go back there again
She had skin like a statue, milky white and pure
Carved by an artist who's hand is demure
Got a mind like a saber
Razor sharp and sure
God how I hate myself for still wanting her
Tell me it's nicer dreaming, visions soft and sure
No way to find there's nothing left to me and her
Nothing more but a heart still at war
She had four white stallions coming up around the bend
Four strong angels already sent
Four more seasons for all that's broken to mend

Counting Crows | A Good Year For The Roses | /c/counting+crows/a+good+year+for+the+roses_20033527.html | I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
Lying cold the way you left them,
But at least your lips caressed them
While you packed.
Or the lip print o a half-filled cup
Of coffee that you poured
And didn't drink.
But at least you thought you wanted it
Which is so much more than I can say for me.
Refrain
It's been a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there.
The lawn could stand another mowing
It's funny, I don't even care
But as you turned and walked away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I thought to say
Was what a good year for the roses
After three, four years of marriage
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking,
Is there's so little left to say that we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I guess I haven't said a word
From the bedroom, the familiar sound
Of our one baby's crying goes unheard

Counting Crows | A Murder Of One | /c/counting+crows/a+murder+of+one_20033480.html | Blue morning Blue morning
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, Kitten, doesn't have to mean you're on your own
Your can look outside your window
He doesn't have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Are you happy where you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver
Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames
of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
I walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

Counting Crows | All My Love | /c/counting+crows/all+my+love_10071213.html | Got a message in my head
That the papers had all gone
Richard Manuel is dead
And the daylight's coming on
I've been wandering through the dark
Now I'm standing on the lawn
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
But I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
Of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
Of a clock that tells the time
That is running out on you
Well it was cold when I woke
And the day was halfway done
Nearly spring in San Francisco
But I cannot feel the sun
You were sleeping next to me
But I knew that you'd be gone
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
But I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
Of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
Of a clock that tells the time
That is running out on you
Take some time before you go
Think of monday's coming down
And the people that you knew
The ones that aren't around
You've been fading day to day
I've been moving town to town
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
But I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
Of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
Of a clock that tells the time
That is running out on you

Counting Crows | Atlantic City | /c/counting+crows/atlantic+city_20513594.html | (Original by Bruce Springsteen)
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly
Last night now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk
They're gettin' ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin'
In from outta state and the D. A.
Can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by
The skin of it's teeth
[Chorus:]
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
[Chorus:]
Now our luck may have died
And our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out
Where the sand's turnin' to gold
So put on your stockin's baby 'cause
The night's getting cold
And everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now I been lookin' for a job
But it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that
Line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So honey last night I met this guy and
I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

You're better than the world
They took a lot of time
Getting it right on this girl
I said, Mary-Ann
You're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Had a lot of girlfriends
I should have known them
Click your heels and count back from there
Do you want to go back?
You should have known
That the butterfly in reverse here is me
Mary-Ann
You're better than the world
They took a lot of time
Getting it right on this girl
I said, Mary-Ann
You're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Where'd you want to go to
With nothing beside you
But webbing and curfews and rain?
And everything that hurts you
Is locked up inside you
Like butterflies with wings
And other perfect things
We go swimming in the sunshine
Dangling from clotheslines
Separate and fall into me
But did you ever see me?
Me, absolutely?
Me, but all you, but still me?
Mary-Ann
You're better than the world
They took a lot of time
Getting it right on this girl, I said
Mary-Ann
You're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl

Counting Crows | Caravan | /c/counting+crows/caravan_20033533.html | And the caravan is on it's way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama, Mama, oh will you never run away?
She laughs playing with her radio
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
And the caravan has all my friends
And they will stay with me until the end
Gypsies robbing sleep in the road
Tell me everything I need to know
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Turn up your radio
Let me hear your song
Switch on your electric light
So we can get down to what is really wrong
Because I long just to hold you tight
So that I can feel you
Sweet lady, oh Mother Night
I shall revere you
Turn it up
Turn it up
Little bit higher radio
Turn it up

Counting Crows | Carmelita | /c/counting+crows/carmelita_20033534.html | Well, I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down...
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down...
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
At the Pioneer Chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Counting Crows | Carriage | /c/counting+crows/carriage_20033535.html | If anything it should have been a better thing,
From underneath you
Staring at the ceiling
It's another world of chocolate bars
And baseball cards and it hides
Inside of all this tension that I'm feeling
But it's all inside of you
And it's all inside of you
Surprise, Surprise
I miss your hair, you miss my eyes
And this solitude is my confidence eroding
So We slide inside of someone's mouth
And someone's eyes until
There's a sound of something intimate exploding.
But it's all inside of you
It's all inside of you.
I wish that I'd had anesthetized and sterilized and then
I wouldn't have this evidence congealing
Surprise, surprise
Another pair of lips and eyes
And that's the consequence from actually feeling.
But it's all inside of you
It's all inside of you

Counting Crows | Chelsea | /c/counting+crows/chelsea_20033467.html | I never go to New York City these days
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me
Maybe in a month or two,
Maybe when things are different for me,
Maybe when things are different for you
You know all of this shit, just sticks in my head
Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyway
Maybe things are different these days
It's good for everybody to hurt somebody once in a while
The things I do to people I love shouldn't be allowed
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me
Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out,
I never had light in my eyes anyway
Maybe things are different these days
I dream I'm in New York City some nights.
Angels flow down from all the buildings
Something about an angel just kills me
I keep hoping something will
Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out,
I never had light in my eyes anyway
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe maybe things are different,
Maybe things are different these days
The light goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyway
Maybe things are different?these days.

Counting Crows | Children In Bloom | /c/counting+crows/children+in+bloom_20033468.html | Children in bloom cooking in the sun
Waiting for a room of our own
Leave my sister alone
She don't deserve this
She is a flower and I am a flower and
We are all alone
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
All these wasted dreams
Waiting for the sun to open up my heart to anyone
Bring me some rain
Because I'm dying and I can't get this damn thing closed again
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
Where's the funhouse this year?
The fairground's deserted and the skies don't seem as near
Nicole's my oldest friend
But the altar is empty and she'll never be a little girl again
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
I can't find my way home

Counting Crows | Cigarettes And Alcohol | /c/counting+crows/cigarettes+and+alcohol_20165249.html | (original by Oasis)
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found
Something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top. ..
You've gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job
When there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top. ..
You've gotta make it happen!
You've gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it

Looking back, it seems so clear now
Everything you wanted in your life
Everything is certain
Try and understand
Put a checklist on your wall
I am not what you think I should be
[Chorus:]
But you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
Yeah you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
When you're trying to make decisions
When you try to water this thing down
Look up once in a while
You'll see it's not so clear
The things you believe in
Are the things that's worth keeping
Make a promise, stand right by your word
But you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
Yeah you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
(guitar solo)
But you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
Yeah you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
Your circle of friends
Your circle of friends

Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready,
I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready,
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready,
I am fine
I am fine
I am fine

Counting Crows | Come Around | /c/counting+crows/come+around_20731304.html | Have you seen the little pieces of the people we have been?
Little pieces blowing' gently on the wind
They have flown down California
They have landed in L.A.
Little pieces slowly settling on the waves
I'm one of a million pieces fallen on the ground
It's one of the reasons when we say goodbye
We'll still come around We will come around
I have waited for tomorrow from December 'til today
I have started loving sorrow along the way
I am calling from some city
And I won't be there too long
I could wait and I could waste away
But what comes back is I hear you say we're gone
For all of the times that I go spinning up and down
When all of the things have died between us
Well, we'll still come around We will come around
After I've been missing for a while
And you hear that summer's song
Haven't all the fading lines lingered on?
What I know is: she's going
When you know it, it's alright
So you put yourself between you and your pride
If you wait for what's coming
And you listen to her lies,
Then she'll say the things you need to hear
And the only one who'll disappear is you
And one of the million lies she said
Is "All of the things you love are dead."
But I've seen what she thinks is love
And it leaves me laughing so we'll still come around

Counting Crows | Come Pick Me Up | /c/counting+crows/come+pick+me+up_20171214.html | (Original by Ryan Adams)
When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face?
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter?
I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
fuck me up
Steal my records
screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there?
Do you wish it was me?
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine?
You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
fuck me up
Steal my records
screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
I wish I could

Counting Crows | Cowboys | /c/counting+crows/cowboys_20734690.html | Cowboys on the road tonight,
Crying in their sleep,
If I was a hungry man,
With a gun in my hand and some promises to keep.
Wanted to change the world,
Watch as easy as murder,
Its all headlights and vapor trails,
And circle K killers.
And I know I could look at anyone but you now,
I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now, now, now, now
So come on, come on, come on, oh come on through now,
Come on, come on, come on now come on through now.
[Chorus]
This is a list of what I should have been
But I'm not.
This is a list of the things that I should have seen,
But I'm not seeing.
Look in your eyes as these fingertips slip on your neck and make you shiver,
I am just turning away from where I should have been
Because I am not anything!
Oh! anything...
Oh!
The president is in bed tonight,
But he can't catch his sleep.
Cause all the cowboys on the radio,
Are killers.
And I am gonna leave fuel of you cause you never
Make her feel like anything,
She said I want him to feel a thing
But I can feel, I can't feel.
I know I could look at anyone but you now
I could fall into the arms of anyone but you now, now, now, now.
So come on, come on, come on, come on oh come on through now,
Come on, come on, come on oh come on through now.
[Chorus]
Look in your eyes as these fingers on slip in your dress and make you shiver.
I am just turning away from what I shouldn't see,
Because I am not anything!
Oh! Anything...
Oh!
[Guitar Solo 1]
Everyone's is in bed tonight,
But nobody can sleep,
Cause all the satellites,
Are watching through our windows.
She says she doesn't love me,
Like-but shes acting- but its just,
If she isn't talking,
Mr. Lincoln's head is bleeding,
On a front row while she's speaking.
I said come all you cowboys,
All you blue-eyed baby boys,
Oh come on all you dashing gentlemen
Of summer.
I'll wait for you,
And Saturday's a memory,
And Sunday comes to gather me,
Into the arms of God and welcome me
Cause I believe, I believe.
And I know I could look at anyone but you now,
I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now, now, now, now
So come on, come on, come on,oh come on through now,
Come on, come on, come on oh come on through now.
[Chorus]
You look in me... and so please won't you look at me,
Cause I am not seeing you
Look at me,
I want to make you, look at me,
Or I am not anything!!
Oh! anything...
No!, no!,
No, no.

Counting Crows | Dancing Days | /c/counting+crows/dancing+days_20513589.html | (Original by - Led Zeppelin)
Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows.
Chorus
I said it's alright
You know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin' boze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.
Chorus
I told your mamma I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.
Chorus
Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.
Chorus

Counting Crows | Einstein On The Beach | /c/counting+crows/einstein+on+the+beach_20033536.html | Albert's always sincere, he's a sensitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
If everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?
And Albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
All his wings are slowly sinking
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again
Einstein's down on the beach staring into the sand
Cause everything he believes in is shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again
Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field American
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again
Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling, falling
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again
No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

Counting Crows | Friend Of The Devil | /c/counting+crows/friend+of+the+devil_10071197.html | I lit out from Reno,
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
'Till the morning came around.
Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe,
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin' but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And vanished in the air.
Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
Got two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night,
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
And she's my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, baby,
The sheriff's on my trail,
And if he catches up with me,
I'll spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in Chino, babe,
And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child,
But it don't look like me.
Set out runnin' but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
You can borrow from the devil
You can borrow from a friend
The devil'll loan ya twenty
But your friend got only ten

Counting Crows | Goodnight Elizabeth | /c/counting+crows/good+night+elizabeth_20204140.html | I was wasted in the afternoon
Waiting on a train
I woke up in pieces and elisabeth had disappeared again
Well I wish you were inside of me
I hope that you're ok
I hope your resting quietly
I just wanted to say
Good, goodnight elizabeth,
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight
We couldn't all be cowboys
Some of us are clowns
And some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers
Then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again
And I say
Good, goodnight elizabeth,
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight
I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
I'll miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
And i'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodills
I will wrap myself in pain
And if you're the queen of California
Baby I am the king of the rain
And I say
Good, goodnight elisabeth,
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight
The moon's a satellite yeah
Now wont you fall down
On me now
Wont you fall down on me
Come fall down
On me now
Wont you fall down on me
'till I'm all alone
You aint coming home
You just settle down down down into bones
I said I'm all alone
You aint coming home
You just settle down down down into bones

Counting Crows | Have You Seen The Girl With Yellow Roses | /c/counting+crows/have+you+seen+the+girl+with+yellow+roses_20639881.html | She was only seventeen and I was twenty-one
Chasing dreams we left Topeka following the sun
We were kids still growing up with rainbows in our mind
So off we went into the world not knowing what we'd find
The first few days were filled with fun and laughing her and I
We'd stop from place to place to try the good times on for size
She always wore a yellow rose to show her love for me
A yellow rose so everyone could see
Have you seen the girl with yellow roses in her hair
She's as pretty as could be
She always wears a yellow rose so everyone can see
She always wears a yellow rose for me
Now the days have past so quickly and the living got so rough
Suddenly we found we couldn't live just on our love
Just two kids alone with thought of Kansas in our mind
Thinking of the families loving arms we left behind
Of each new day I found that we grew more and more apart
Though she tried to cling to me with love still in her heart
Then one day I hurt her like a fool I made her cry
I noticed that the yellow rose had died
Have you seen the girl with yellow roses in her hair
Help me find her won't you please
She always wore a yellow rose so everyone could see
She always wore a yellow rose for me

Counting Crows | If We Are The Body | /c/counting+crows/if+we+are+the+body_20513582.html | It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carying farther than they know
Farther than they know
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgemental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
Jesus paid much to high a price for us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His word teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
Jesus is the way

She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me She holds my head when I'm crying
She comes to me She shuts my eyes
She brings me home
But I'm not sleeping anymore
She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me She lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering She lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me
and she locks all the doors
But I'm not sleeping anymore
1-2-3-4-5-6-7a.m.
All alone again
But I've been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore
I see her on the TV I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance inside my head
I'll follow you down baby Down into this valley
I'll follow you down baby But I won't come up again
But I'm not sleeping anymore

Counting Crows | Insignificant | /c/counting+crows/insignificant_20730769.html | Can you see me up on a building
From down on the pavement
Or out in the crowd?
Can you see me, in the glare of the lamp post?
Cause I am walking a tightrope
Into the moon.
[Chorus]
I don't want feel so different,
But I don't want to be insignificant
And I don't how to see the same things different now.
Oh, can you see me? I am one in a million
Yeah, I'm Icarus falling, out of the sun.
She sees me falling, a line of spotlights and chalk lines.
Through night black as a bedroom
And white as a lie.
[Chorus]
Diving through the dark, while the night turns blue
And you wear your intentions, as I wear my intentions
So clear.
[Guitar Bridge]
If you see me, wading through water
Or come drowning a river
Right in front of the world
Hey you can wash your face and hands in the stream of my anger
Cause it's as bright as white paper
As dark as a girl
[Chorus: x2]

Counting Crows | Love Song | /c/counting+crows/love+song_21003766.html | If tonight's the night then today's my day
And I should hang it all on display
Yours is just a losers game
And I decided that I should play
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Instrumental]
Felt the wind's direction bringing change
Clouds so softly it will rain
And summer fell and the winter spring
And now it's all a feeling I can't get back again
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Instrumental]
Plotting thoughts against the clear blue sky
And the feeling came I felt like getting high
No sense to try to find my piece of mind
Cause maybe baby I was born to win dissatisfied
And you know your caring never dies so
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Ah no ah no ah no
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Instrumental]
Come on yeah
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Come on come on and try
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Not gonna have a rise
Throw your arms around my neck
Hold me hold me hold me
I won't be soon to forget
Gotta get out of my life
Throw your arms around my neck
Come on come on now shine
I won't be soon to forget
