Who Do I Know In Dallas

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Who do I know in Dallas
Who can I call on the phone
Who do I know in Dallas
Who’ll make me forget she’s gone

I can’s spend the night without someone
The loneliness will drive me insane
Who do I know in Dallas
Who’ll make me glad I came

It was Shirley consoled me in Phoenix
And Jeannie...

Someday We’ll Look Back

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Someday when our dream world finds us
and these hard times are gone
We’ll laugh and count our blessings
in a mansion all our own
If we both pull together tomorrow’s sure to come
Someday we’ll look back and say it was fun

We live on love and pennies
and the day dream out of sight
And I’m amazed...

Swinging Doors

Friday, June 17th, 2011

This old smoke filled bar is something I’m not used to
But if gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I’ll be living
It’s not much but I feel welcome here inside

And I’ve got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has got a flashing neon sign
Stop by and...

A Good Year For The Roses

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

(by George Jones)

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 on a half-filled cup
of coffee that you poured
and didn’t drink.
But at least you thought you wanted it

In My Next Life

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The Blood Red Sun Beat Down And Baked The Red Clay Ground
Dust Kicked Up Around His John Deere Wheels
No Trace Of Rain In Sight A-gain He’ll Lose The Fight
And Have To Watch His Crops Die In The Fields

They Stood There Both In Tears — His Wife Of Many Years
Said John You Know I Hate To Lose Our Farm
He Looked Into Her...

Here Comes The Freedom Train

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

All aboard America here comes the freedon train
All aboard America here comes the freedon train

The freedom train is rolling down two hundred years of track
Two hundred years of glory never to turn back
The train is called America your ticket is a dream
That left the torture of freedom for all the world to see
She left the station...

Sing Me Back Home

Friday, October 15th, 2010

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
‘Let my guitar playing friend do my request.’ (Let him…)

Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away...

Ramblin’ Fever (In My Soul)

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My hat don’t hang on the same nail too long
My ears can’t stand to hear the same old song
And I don’t leave the highway long enough
To bog down in the mud
Cause I’ve got ramblin’ fever in my blood

I caught this ramblin’ fever long ago
When I first heard a lonesome whistle...

Let’s Chase Each Other (round the room tonight)

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Let’s chase each other ’round the room tonight
Let’s play the games we played on our wedding night
To lock and bolt the door is only right
Let’s chase each other ’round the room tonight

Seems like lately people love to play with fire
The other games they play are just as bad
I’d rather stay at...

What Have You Got Planned Tonight, Diana

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

It all started in 1929 me and Diana had gone to Alaska
To homestead some of that free government land

Forty miles from the nearest gravel road
we cut our life in the ponderosa pines
We sweated hard to beat the winter snow
But the cabin’s up and we’ve got lots of times

What have you got planned tonight Diana
would...
