After The Thrill Is Gone
Same dances in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose There's no telling what a man might lose, After the thrill is gone The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone, oh, After the thrill is gone What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned? What have you done to be losing the one You held it so tight in your hand well Time passes and you must move on, Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of the song After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well Same dances in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone, oh After the thrill is gone ------------------------------- I Can't Tell You Why Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live through years in the dark? Ahh... Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay And I can't tell you why When we get crazy, it just ain't to right, (try to keep you head, little girl) Girl, I get lonely, too You don't have to worry Just hold on tight (don't get caught in your little world) 'Cause I love you Nothing's wrong as far as I can see We make it harder than it has to be and I can't tell you why no, baby, I can't tell you why I can't tell you why No, no, baby, I can't tell you why I can't tell you why I can't tell you why |

Life In The Fast Lane
He was a hard-headed man He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally pretty She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heart of the cold, cold city He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude They had one thing in common, they were good in bed She'd say, 'Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red." Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind, mm Are you with me so far? Eager for action and bot for the game The coming attraction, the drop of a name They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills. There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race Out every evening, until it was light He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it Life in the fast lane Surely make you lse your mind Life in the fast lane, everything all the time Life in the fast lane, uh huh Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst. She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine ring.We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddam thing." He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash." "The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash." They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off And it was life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane |

The Sad Cafe
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Cafe Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom" We were part of the lonely crowd Inside the Sad Cafe Oh, expecting to fly, we would meet on that shore in the sweet by and by Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away And some of the stayed behind inside the Sad Cafe. The clouds rolled in and hid that shore Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more Now I look at the years gone by, and wonder at the powers that be. I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall But things in this life change very slowly, if they ever change at all There's no use in asking why, it just turned out that way So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Cafe. Why don't you meet me at midnight baby, inside the Sad Cafe. |

Victim of Love
What kind of love have you got? You should be home, but you're not A room full of noise and dangerous boys still makes you thirsty and hot I heard about you and that man There's just one thing I don't understand You say he's a liar and he put out your fire How come you still got his gun in your hand? Victim of love , I see a broken heart You got your stories to tell Victim of love, it's such an easy part and you know how to play it so well Some people never come clean I think you know what I mean You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire Looking for love in between Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine This ain't no time to be cool And tell all your girlfriends, you "been around the world" friends that talk is for losers and fools Victim of love, I see a broken heart I could be wrong, but I'm no Victim of love, we're not so far apart Show me, what kind of love have you got? Victim of love, you're just a victim of love I could be wrong , but I'm not Victim of love, now you're a victim of love What kind of love have you got? What kind of love have you got? What kind of love have you got? |

Seven Bridges Road
There are stars In the Southern sky Southward as you go There is moonlight And moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child And I have loved you in a tame way And I have loved you wild Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn form here and go Running like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road There are stars in the Southern sky And if ever you decide You should go There is a taste of time sweetened honey Down the Seven Bridges Road |

Heartache Tonight
Somebody's gonna hurt someone before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone. There's nothin' we can do. Everybody wants to touch somebody if it takes all night. Everybody wants to take a little chance, Make it come out right. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight, I know. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know. Lord, I know. Some people like to stay out late Some folks can't hold out that long But nobody wants to go home now. there's too much goin' on. This night is gonna last forever. Last all, last all summer long. Some time before the sun comes up The radio is gonna play that song. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, A heartache tonight, I know. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, A heartache tonight, I know. Lord I know. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, the moon's shinin' bright so turn out the light, and we'll get it right. There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know. Heartache baby, Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody) Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone, There's nothin' we can do (Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody if it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance To make it come out right There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight, A heartache tonight ,I know Let's go. We can beat around the bushes; we can get down to the bone We can leave it in the parkin' lot, but either way, there's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know. There'll be a heartache tonight a heartache tonight I know. |

Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before 'Relax,'said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave |

I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot I used to stay out till the break of day Oh, that didn't get it, It was high time I quit it I just couldn't carry on that way Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you You can go the distance We'll find out in the long run (in the long run) We can handle some resistance If our love is a strong one (is a strong one) People talkin' about is they got nothin' else to do When it all comes down we will still come through In the long run Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better do the crazy things that you do 'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby, couldn't hold a candle to you Did you do it for love? Did you do it for money? Did you do it for spite? Did you think you had to, honey? Who is gonna make it? We'll find out in the long run (in the long run) I know we can take it if our love is a strong one (is a strong one) Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin' Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin' in the long run Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run in the long run in the long run, etc.. |

On the bound
All my life is on me now, hail the pages turning And the future's on the bound, hell don't know my fury You're all I need, you're all I need, you're all I need You're all I need, you're all I need, you're all I need You're all I need - and maybe some faith would Do me good I don't know what I'm doing, don't know should I Change my mind, I can't decide, there's too many Variations to consider No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me More to do, It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time Tell me you belong to me Baby say that it's all gonna be alright I believe that it isn't. |

Every time to fools collide
You want things your way And I want these mine And now we don't know Just where you draw the line How can love survive If we keep cheers and sights And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide You lay the blame on me And I put the blame on you But why do we keep finding faults In everything you do And how long can we keep right in wrongs So cut and cry And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide We can save our love We still have the time Oh, I know there must be a way But we still haven't tried To keep our hearts from breaking Every time two fools collide |

Through the years
I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years I've never been afraid I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I stayed Right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted whom, I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years Through all the good and bad I knew how much we had I've always been so glad To be with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years When everything went wrong Together we were strong I know that I belong Right here with you Through the years I never had a doubt We'd always work things out I've learned what life's about By loving you Through the years Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years |

The Vows Go Unbroken
From the moment I met you, You made my life complete. This wave of pure devotion, Has swept me off my feet. And tonight when we kissed, You still took my breath away. It goes without saying, But I'll say it anyway... The vows go un-broken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. Though I have been tempted, Oh I have never strayed. I'd die before I'd damage, This union we have made. The vows go unbroken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. I knew from the first - that for better or worse, I'd stand by you all my life. And the go vows unbroken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. |

The coward of the county
Everyone considered him The coward of the county He'd never stood one single time To prove the county wrong His mama named him Tommy But folks just called him yellow Something always told me They were reading Tommy wrong He was only ten years old When his daddy died in prison I looked after Tommy 'Cause he was my brother's son I still recall the final words My brother said to Tommy Son my life is over But yours has just begun Promise me, son Not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can Now it don't mean you're weak If you turn the other cheek And I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man There's someone for everyone And Tommy's love was Becky In her arms he didn't have To prove he was a man One day while he was working The Gatlin boys came calling They took turns at Becky N'there was three of them Tommy opened up the door And saw Becky crying The torn dress, the shattered look Was more than he could stand He reached above the fireplace Took down his daddy's picture As his tears fell on his daddy's face I heard these words again Promise me, son Not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can Now it don't mean you're weak If you turn the other cheek And I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man The Gatlin boys just laughed at him When he walked into the barroom One of them got up And met him half way cross the floor Tommy turned around they said Hey look, old yeller's leavin' You could've heard a pin drop When Tommy stopped and locked the door Twenty years of crawling Was bottled up inside him He wasn't holding nothing back He let 'em have it all Tommy left the bar room Not a Gatlin boy was standing He said, This one's for Becky As he watched the last one fall N' I heard him say I promised you, Dad Not to do the things you've done I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek Papa, I should hope you understand Sometimes you gotta fight When you're a man Everyone considered him The coward of the county |

CRAWLING BACK TO YOU
Everybody knows that I was such a fool To ever let go of you, but baby I was wrong Yeah I know I said we'd be better off alone It was time that we moved on I know I broke your heart I didn't mean to break your heart But baby here I am Banging on your front door My pride spilled on the floor My hands and knees are bruised And I'm crawling back to you Begging for a second chance Are you gonna let me in? I was running from the truth And now I'm crawling back to you I know you're in there And you can make me wait But I'm not gonna wait It's the least that I can do Just to tell you face-to-face I was lying to myself Now I'm dying in this hell Girl I know you're mad I can't blame you for being mad But baby here I am If you can save these tears from crying Touch these hands that can't stop shaking Hear my heart that's barely beating You will see a different man But baby here I am Banging on your front door My pride spilled on the floor I was running from the truth Now I'm crawling back to you Now I'm crawling back to you (Crawling back to you) Crawling back to you Crawling back to you |

Hard to say I'm sorry
Hard To Say I'm Sorry "Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other." "Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other." Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all that's been said and done, You're just the part of me I can't let go. Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body. Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love. Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know. Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all that's been said and done, You're just the part of me I can't let go. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. You're gonna be the lucky one. |
