"Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)"

Would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake to make
A bridge to burn to get to someone knew hey pass me by if you're only passing through
You sure look like the traveling kind to me
Don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
I don't know what you think you've run into
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
[steel + harmonica]
I'm not gonna be your stepping stone among the other hearts that you've walked on
Lord help me if I fall in love with you hey pass me by if you're only passing through
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
 
"Teach Me The Words To Your Song"

I hope it's all that I'd found
This may be my last time around
I tried so long but it's always gone wrong
'Cause I don't know the words to your song

Teach me the words to your song
Teach me and I'll sing along
I don't care anymore if it's right or it's wrong
Just teach me the words to your song

I've been hurt time after time
I've laid my heart on the line
I want to stay while the feelin's so strong
So teach me the words to your song

Teach me the words to your song
Teach me and I'll sing along
I don't care anymore if it's right or it's wrong
Just teach me the words to your song
Just teach me the words to your song
 
"Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)"

Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
If my needs were strong
Would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour
If my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dieing hands
If I give myself to you

Will you bathe with me
In the stream of life
When the moon is full
Will you bathe with me

Will you still love me
When I'm down and out
In my time of trial
Will you stand by me

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dieing hands
If I give myself to you

(cannoned)
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
Should my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear
Would you bathe with me
In the stream of life
Would you still love me
When I'm down and out
 
"How Can I Tell Him"

He knows when I'm lonesome he's there when I'm sad
He's up in the good times he's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged he knows just what to do that boy doesn't know about you
I can tell him my troubles makes 'em all seem right
I can make up excuses not to hold him at night
We can talk of tomorrow I tell him things I wanna do
But boy how can I tell him about you
How can I tell him about you boy please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So boy won't you tell me how to tell him about you ah ah ooh

How can I tell him I don't miss him whenever I am away
How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
But when is it easy tellin' someone we're through oh boy help me tell him about you
How can I tell him about you...
 
"Let Me Be There"

Wherever you go, wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know I'll always wanna be there
Holdin' your hand and standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through in everything you do

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there

Watching you grow and going through the changes in your life
That's how I know I'll always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on here I am
Whenever you call you know I'll be there

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there, all I ask you is let me be there
 
"Bed Of Rose's"

She was called a scarlet woman by the people
Who would go to church but leave me in the street
With no parents of my own I never had a home
And a fifteen year old girl has got to eat

She found me outside one Sunday morning
Begging money from a man I didn't know
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
That woman of the street this lady Rose

This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man
This bed of roses where I'm livin' is the only kind of life I'll understand

She was a handsome woman just thirty-five
Who was spoken to in town by very few
She managed a late evening business
Like most of the town wished they'd do

I learned all the things a man should know
From a woman not approved of I suppose
She died knowing someone really loved her
From life's bramble bush I picked a rose

This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man
This bed of roses where I'm livin' is the only kind of life I'll understand
 
"The Man That Turned My Mama On"

I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you now

Mama was no prude but she was proper
Never wore her dress too short
She didn't care if you did
But she'd never taken a drink

Grandma Kate did the best she could
To see mama grew up right
So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'
And to wear some gentleman's ring

I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

I hear he came to town one day
In a rusty old '49 Ford
Sellin' ladies shoes
And assorted greeting cards

He was killin' good lookin' and easy to like
And turnin' all the ladies heads
But he saw mama first
And Lord knows how some of them travelin' men are

I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

Mama seemed to forget the things
That grandma Kate had always told her
She ran away one night
With that traveling man

They bought gas at Reba's Truck Stop
And drove to Deseto County
But he brought her home
With a ring upon her hand

Mama's told me how the fever took him
When I was barely five
But I remember him pitchin' me up
And catchin' me

And I love to sit and listen to her
Tell me about my daddy
She says she thought
The sun must surely rise and set in me

I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

"I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again"

Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at fourty four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor share-croppers shack
The Jacksons down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black

But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shacks stood once before
I see sons and daughters of share-croppers
But they're not picking cotton anymore

But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing 'cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood

Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh, but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
 
"Old Dan Tucker's Daughter"

Mama died havin' me and papa tried to raise me
And then he took to drinkin' when I was only three
I'd follow him and his guitar along the streets of Mobile
Where he'd sing for just a drink and a lollipop for me

Then at night he sat me on the bar while he did some singin'
I played with his old railroad watch when I was a dancin'
And I passed around his worn out hat, they're pitchin' down some quarters
Oh how proud I was to be old Dan Tucker's daughter

Things seemed to go from bad to worse as I grew sadly older
And papa looked so down and out failin' more each day
And pride I always felt to him slowly turned to pity
And Lord you know it broke my heart each time I hear them say

Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter

Papa died just today a cold gray Mobile mornin'
Now here I stand all alone cryin' on his grave
Not a single soul from Mobile came to wish him well his journey
But at least for papa's goin', no one there will say

Hey, get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter
 
"No Man's Land"

Many years ago in Brushcreak Georgia
Molly Marlo was a virgin girl
She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson
Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world

He caught her after church one Sunday morning
And took her body with his rough hard hands
And walked off laughing as she lay there crying
Since then she's been known as No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In No Man's Land

Molly grew into a luscious beauty
Each man's head would turn as she walked by
And as their hot eyes watched her body moving
They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh

Molly went to school and studdied nursing
Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact
The first year that she nursed at Millards Clinic
Six men pretended they had heart attacks

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In No Man's Land

Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison
In feaverish pain that suffering shell of a man
He was glad to see the nurse from Millards Clinic
'Till he saw the burning eyes of No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
Barney cried but she denied him
And he prayed and wrung their hands
Now his soul's walking
Through No Man's Land
 
"The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor"

Among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries and the rent
Among the local women there'll be a lot less cheatin'
'Cause Jesse won't be steppin' out again

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord

The scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the law will soon be well

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord

From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And tell them how much Jesse's took up with little Jim
Now Jimmy's got a daddy and Jesse's got a family
And Franklin County's got a lot more man

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord
 
"What If We Were Running Out Of Love"

Everybody's wonderin' how this world will get around
Now that we're all runnin' out of gas
But me, I'm kinda happy that this world is slowin' down
Seems to me we were movin' much too fast

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's thinkin' that this world will fall apart
If we ain't got no fuel to feed the flame
What if we all lost the love we used to fill our hearts
Seems to me life wouldn't be the same

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's wonderin' just how cold it's gonna get
And how they're gonna keep each other warm
The simplest solution to the problem I've seen yet
Is cuddle up with someone in your arms

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?
 
"Lizzie And The Rainman"

He came ridin' in on the sunrise of a hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon with some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks need some water, well water is my game
And for the small price of $100 I betcha I can make it rain

Step back non believers or the rain will never come
Somebody start that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
You know some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are gonna see some rain

They all just stood there a-staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzie Cooper who said he was a lying cheat
You say you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
Starting all these people dreamin', thinking you can make it rain

Step back non believers or the rain will never come
Somebody keep that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
You know some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are going see some rain

Hey Lizzie, well a mans got to have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me, I'll meet you in between
Oh come with me Lizzie and the stars will right your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you, look younder there comes the rain

Step back non believers for the rain will never come
Somebody keep that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
You know some folks think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are going see some rain

[Repeat and fade]
 
"San Antonio Stroll"

When I was a child down in South Carolin'
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin' to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a'singin' the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They'd be hummin' a song,
Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl.
Like the San Antonio Stroll.

Well the day finally come
When my momma said hun
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll.

I've been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.
 
"I'm Not Lisa"

I'm not Lisa, my name is Tanya
Lisa left you year's ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Til the sun light has
touched your face

She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each risin' sun

And then one winter day
His hand lead her's away
She left you here
Drownin' in your tears here
Where you stayed for years, crying Lisa

Lisa

I'm not Lisa
My name is Tanya
Lisa left you, years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Til the sun light
Shines through your face

I'm not Lisa, my name is Tanya
 
"Son Of A Preacher Man"

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

[Chorus:]
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oooh, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

[Chorus:]
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was

(Yes he was!)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was

The only boy who could ever reach me
was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man

oh yea, ah hah, oh yea!
 
"Someday Soon"

Someday soon

There's a young men that a know
His age is 21
He comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service
And he's looking for his fun
Someday soon going with him someday soon

My parents cannot stand him
Cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me crying
I would follow him right down
The roughest road I know
Someday soon going with him someday soon

And when he comes to calm
My pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess its cause he was just as wild
In his younger days

So blow you ol' blue northern
Blow my love to me
He's drivin' in tonight from California
He loves his darn ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon going with him someday soon

[Solo]

"Pride Of Franklin County"

All through school he did real well
Got a good job in the sawmill, yeah
But he wanted more so he went away
As he stepped on board the 802
He could hear his daddy say

"Listen to the big bell a ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
And you're the pride of Franklin County
Don't you leave your natural home" Oh, yeah

A small town kid with the big city blues
A yearnin' heart and taped up shoes, yeah
He wanted more so he went astray
Took a gun and he stole a car and he was on his way

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high, high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
But the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own

Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah
He robbed a bank, oh, he didn't see the guard
The guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin'
People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say

"Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home"

Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, yeah
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, finally comin' home
 
"Depend On You"

Broken glass lies on the bedroom floor
A broken dream lies in my head
I was counting on a big surprise
But I got a big surprise instead

I didn't know people could change
So fast I didn't see the game you played
Now the morning finds me somewhere
In the past hanging on the promises we made

I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
But I thought I could depend on you, yeah

Weatherman says it's gonna rain today
And yes, I believe, he's right
My face is feeling just a little bit wet
With a big storm coming through tonight

I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
But I thought I could depend on you, yeah
