I built a big pile of peanut shells on the sawdust floor
I winked at every pretty girl comin' in and out the door
Yellin', ?Hey bartender, how 'bout two more??
Bottle by bottle I'm clearin? off that shelf
And I feel so good that I'm not quite myself
Now, they're tellin? me that I gotta find someplace else
Well, guess what
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
If you wanna pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Well, I spent my dollar and drank up my last dime
Now, they're actin? like havin? fun is some kind of crime
If it'll make you feel better mister, I'll tell you one more time
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
Why don't you pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Now, you can call me a taxi
And you can call me a cab
I know you're gonna call me something
When I can't pay this tab
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
If you wanna pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Why don't you pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss

When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Yeah, it's my life

WILLIE NELSON:
In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
SHANIA TWAIN:
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
BOTH:
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

I'm sittin' in the railway station got a ticket for a destination
On a tour of one night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one man band
Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me for movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound...
[ guitar ]
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness and harmony I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound...
[ guitar ]

Well a man come on the 6 oclock news
Said somebodys been shot, somebodys been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didnt get too far yeah
They didnt get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
Weve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
Its time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send em all to their maker and hell settle em down
You can bet hell set em down cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue
I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new
(bridge)
worry
why do I let myself worry
wondring
what in the world did I do
crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias
To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before...

I'm not here to forget you
I'm here to recall the things we used to say and do
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
I haunt the same places we used to go
Alone at a table for two
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
They oughtta give me the Wurlitzer Prize
For all the silver I let slide down the slot
Playin' those songs sung blue
That help me remember you
I don't wanna get over you
A fresh roll o' quarters, same old songs
Missin' you through and through
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
They oughtta give me the Wurlitzer Prize
For all the silver I let slide down the slot
Playin' those songs sung blue
They help me remember you
'Cause I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

She don't love me, she love my automobile.
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down
I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.
Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.
Well she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk,
Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk.

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tried to keep your spirits up
**CORRECTION** And your fever down
Chorus:
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up
Than see you down
Leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Well I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watchin'
Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you
And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
No one more important to me darling can't you please see through me
Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth with holding nothin'
You came out in front but I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
And we were alone and I was singing my song for you
. . .

Well, last night I came home an' I knocked on my door,
An' I called to my love as I oft had before.
An' I knocked an' I knocked: no answer thee came.
No kisses to greet me or voice call my name.
An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord.
Couldn't believe it was true.
An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years,
An' I couldn't believe it was true.
Instrumental break.
Well, the shock was so great, I am quiverin' yet.
An' I'll try to forgive but I cannot forget.
My heart breakin' loss is another man's gain.
Her happiness, always, I hope will remain.
An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord.
Couldn't believe it was true.
An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years,
An' I couldn't believe it was true.

The postman delivered
A "past due" bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
And this morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night you came home late
And I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, "It don't matter
'Cause it's the holiday season"
And you fill such a big empty space
But then I laid down beside you
And I wanted your lovin'
Because your love makes my life complete
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for lookin'
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for lookin'
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for livin'
And being forgiving
So just go on if you want to be free
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
. . .

Run that by me one more time
To make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
And I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time?
Well, you're late again, I see
What's your excuse this time?
Don't you try to kiss and make up
When you smell so strong from wine
Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
You need to wind Big Ben
Honey, that's not wine you smell
That's aftershave for men
Would you run that by me one more time?
What happened to the money
I gave you to pay the rent?
The rent is overdue
And we ain't got one red cent
I put it in the cookie jar
The day you brought it home
One day when I came back from town
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
Would you run that by me one more time?

A one, two, three, two, two three.
I let love die, broke a woman's heart
Have only myself to blame
Fate ran its course, I suffered a loss
I learned a lesson in pain
I cheated and lied, I took love for granted.
Acting as cold as ice
But it's all in the past
I won't make the same mistake twice
Once is enough
It's one time too many
Change is rough
Ooo once is enough
Love went through such a sudden change,
Takin' a turn for the worst
Joy turned to fear, the pain got so severe
Lord, I thought I was cursed.
You get what you give, it comes 'round full circle
Ooo and I paid the price
I lost love so fast
I won't make the same mistake twice.
Brrrr Hoo!
I let love die, broke a woman's heart
And only myself to blame
Fate ran its course, I suffered a loss
Learned a lesson in pain
I cheated and lied, and took it all for granted
Acting as cold as ice
But it's all in the past
I won't make the same mistake twice
Once is enough
It's one time too many
The change is rough
Ooo once is enough
Love went through such a sudden change,
Takin' a turn for the worst
Joy turned to fear, the pain got so dear
Lord, I thought I was cursed.
You get what you give, it comes around full circle
Ooo and I paid the price
I lost love so fast
I won't make the same mistake twice.
Once is enough
It's one time too many
The change is rough
Ooo once is enough
Guitar, Yow!
I cheated and lied, and took it all for granted
Acting as cold as ice
But it's all in the past
I won't make the same mistake twice
Once is enough
It's one time too many
The change is rough
Ooo once is enough
One more time!
Once is enough
It's one time too many
The change is rough
Ooo once is enough
Aye yeah!
The change is rough
Ooo once is enough
Yeah yeah!
The change is rough
Ooo Once is enough
Yeah!
Yes!
