Ain't Got You
I got the fortunes of heaven in diamonds and gold
I got all the bonds baby that the bank could hold
I got houses 'cross the country honey end to end
And everybody buddy wants to be my friend
Well I got all the riches baby any man ever
knew. But the only thing I ain't got honey
I ain't got you
I got a house full of Rembrandt
and priceless art. And all the little girls they wanna tear me apart. When I walk down the street people stop and stare. Well you'd think I might
be thrilled but baby I don't care
'Cause I got more good luck honey
than old King Farouk
But the only thing I ain't got baby I ain't got you
I got a big diamond watch sittin' on my wrist
I try to tempt you baby but you just resist
I made a deal with the devil babe I won't deny
Until I got you in my arms I can't be satisfied
I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice
I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise
I got a hundred pretty women knockin' down my door
And folks wanna kiss me I ain't even
seen before. I been around the world and all across the seven seas. Been paid a king's ransom
for doin' what comes naturally
But I'm still the biggest fool honey
this world ever knew
'Cause the only thing I ain't got baby I ain't got you
Tougher than the Rest
Well It's Saturday night
you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out
left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan
or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark
and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know
I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby
maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance
all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
baby I'm tougher than the rest
All that Heaven will Allow
I got a dollar in my pocket
There ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket
that says baby I love you
Well if you didn't look then boys
then fellas don't go lookin' now
Well here she comes a-walkin'
all that heaven will allow
Say hey there mister bouncer
now all I wanna do is dance
But I swear I left my wallet
back home in my workin' pants
C'mon Slim slip me in man
I'll make it up to you somehow
I can't be late I got a date
with all that heaven will allow
Rain and storm and dark skies
Well now they don't mean a thing
If you got a girl that loves you
and who wants to wear your ring
So c'mon mister trouble
we'll make it through you somehow
We'll fill this house with all the love
all that heaven will allow
Now some may wanna die young man
young and gloriously
Get it straight now mister
hey buddy that ain't me
'Cause I got something on my mind
that sets me straight and walkin' proud
And I want all the time
all that heaven will allow
Spare Parts
Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby it wasn't any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away
Jane moved in with her ma out on Shawnee Lake
She sighed Ma sometimes my whole life
feels like one big mistake
She settled in in a back room time passed on
Later that winter a son came along
CHORUS
Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
Now Janey walked that baby across the floor
night after night
But she was a young girl and she missed
the party lights. Meanwhile in South
Texas in a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard 'bout his son bein' born
and swore he wasn't ever goin' back
CHORUS
Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
Put her baby in the river let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed
Mist was on the water low run the tide
Janey held her son down at the riverside
Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home
As he lay sleeping in her bed
Janey took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau
and got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress
tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the pawn shop man
and walked out with some good cold cash
Cautious Man
Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road
He walked lookin' over his shoulder
and remained faithful to its code
When something caught his eye
he'd measure his need
And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl in the early days of May
It was there in her arms
he let his cautiousness slip away
In their lovers twilight as
the evening sky grew dim. He'd lay back
in her arms and laugh at what had happened to him
On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love
and on his left hand was the word fear
And in which hand he held his fate was never clear Come Indian summer he took his
young lover for his bride
And with his own hands built
a great house down by the riverside
Now Billy was an honest man
he wanted to do what was right
He worked hard to fill their lives
with happy days and loving nights
Alone on his knees in the darkness
for steadiness he'd pray
For he knew in a restless heart
the seed of betrayal lay
One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream
callin' his wife's name
She lay breathing beside him
in a peaceful sleep, a thousand miles away
He got dressed in the moonlight
and down to the highway he strode
When he got there he didn't find nothing but road
Billy felt a coldness rise up
inside him that he couldn't name
Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles
he knew would always remain
At their bedside he brushed the hair from
his wife's face as the moon shone on her
skin so white. Filling their room with the
beauty of God's fallen light
Walk like a Man
I remember how rough your hand felt on mine
On my wedding day
And the tears cried on my shoulder
I couldn't turn away
Well so much has happened to me
That I don't understand
All I can think of is being five years old
following behind you at the beach
Tracing your footprints in the sand
Trying to walk like a man
By Our Lady Of The Roses
We lived in the shadow of the elms
I remember ma draggin' me and my
sister up the street to the church
whenever she heard those wedding bells
Well would they ever look so happy again
the handsome groom and his bride
as they stepped into that long black limousine
for their mystery ride
Well tonight you step away from me
And alone at the alter I stand
And as I watch my bride coming down the aisle
I pray for the strength to walk like a man
Well now the years have gone and I've grown
From that seed you've sown
But I didn't think there'd be so many steps
I'd have to learn on my own
Well I was young and I didn't know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now I'll do what I can
I'll walk like a man
And I'll keep on walkin'
Tunnel of Love
Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand
while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love
There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
It's easy for two people to lose each other
in this tunnel of love
It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above, if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love
Two Faces
I met a girl and we ran away
I swore I'd make her happy every day
And how I made her cry
Two faces have I
Sometimes mister I feel sunny and wild
Lord I love to see my baby smile
Then dark clouds come rolling by
Two faces have I
One that laughs one that cries
One says hello one says goodbye
One does things I don't understand
Makes me feel like half a man
At night I get down on my knees and pray
Our love will make that other man go away
But he'll never say goodbye
Two faces have I
Last night as I kissed you 'neath the willow tree
He swore he'd take your love away from me
He said our life was just a lie
And two faces have I
Well go ahead and let him try
Brilliant Disguise
I hold you in my arms
as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I've got
in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby
but I just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me who I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby
struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter
the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
One Step Up
Woke up this morning my house was cold
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each other some
hard lessons lately. But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back
Bird on a wire outside
my motel room. But he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
But all I'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up
and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
And me well honey I'm pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up and two steps back
When You are Alone
Times were tough love was not enough
So you said sorry Johnny I'm gone gone gone
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing honey
So you let out on your own
Now that pretty form that you've got baby
Will make sure you get along
But you're gonna find out someday honey
CHORUS
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you ain't nothing but alone
Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets
of the city. And I fought to make 'em my home
With just the shirt on my back I left
and swore I'd never look back
And man I was gone gone gone
But there's things that'll knock you down
you don't even see coming. And send you
crawling like a baby back home
You're gonna find out that day sugar
CHORUS
I knew some day your runnin' would be through
And you'd think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
You'd forget all the bad and think only
of all the laughs that we had
And you'd wanna come home
Now it ain't hard feelings or nothin' sugar
That ain't what's got me singing this song
It's just nobody knows baby where love goes
But when it goes it's gone gone
CHORUS
Valentines's Day
I'm driving a big lazy car
rushin' up the highway in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel
and one hand's tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding baby like it's gonna
bust right on through. And it ain't gonna stop
till I'm alone again with you
A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light
of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my girl mister
tonight I miss my home
Is it the sound of the leaves
left blown by the wayside
that's got me out here on this spooky
old highway tonight
Is it the cry of the river
with the moonlight shining through
That ain't what scares me baby
What scares me is losing you
They say if you die in your dreams
you really die in your bed
But honey last night I dreamed
my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared
and breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom
I felt rushing over me.
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream
that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields
I felt rushing through my arms
No, no baby, it was you
So hold me close honey
say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
