Part Time Man

If I could be your full-time man I'd tell you what I'd do
I would not dare to close my eyes or turn my back on you
Can we go around the world or just out to a show
Can we go to places fast and places not too slow
If I were just your part-time man well that wouldn't be so bad
I would not waste one second more deciding what to have
I would lie in your arms or in the by and by
I would lie to keep things fresh and keep you by my side
You can tell how much I care by looking at the clothes I wear
And I'm dressed to the nines for you
And though I hate the telephone, I sure would love to get a call from you
If I could only be your man or even slow your search
Believe me I would prove exactly what these words are worth
Can you see, I'm tired of doing nothing in the wings
Can you see, there's nothing hiding underneath my sleeve

Gone

Well there’s one quick thing that I got to know
Cause you drive me wild, hit me way down low
So please, won’t you tell me so
Oh please, won’t you tell me so
I know you said that you got some place to go
But that place could be right here, you know
Is it just for show, or is it set in stone?
Well I got to know, is it set in stone?
There’s a certain thing, with certainty, that you feel down low
Without recalling what’s come before, or what will go
What has come before, or what will go
I wink to block the sunlight out, so I can see your smile
Until you’re gone, gone, gone
Yeah you’re gone, gone, gone
Well, people always ask you where you think you’ll be 10 years from now
Now I can’t see just where I am, but I can feel you next to me
I feel you standing next to me
To simplify, to clarify, I’ll be the guy, never make you cry
I’ll meet you at the end of the aisle
I’ll be standing there by your side
Well there’s one quick thing that I got to know
Cause you drive me wild, hit me way down low
So please, please, please won’t you tell me so
Oh please, please, won’t you tell me so

Steppin' Out
04:15

Well I went to a dance in downtown Birmingham
Where the women shake it and the trumpets play the band
Well you can't go wrong, it's no surprise, do the mash potato, kick the roof up high
Won't you get up, get up, won't you get up now
Well I sure do miss the times back in the day
I'd harmonize that second line all day
Now I'm steppin' out while I'm steppin' in, one foot down and I'm sinkin' in
Can I get up, get up, can I get up now
Well I shoulda stuck with it, blown my horn out loud
Coulda joined a band and made my mama proud
In hindsight I can see it now, what to do next time around
And I can get up, get up, I can get up now
Well I went to a dance in downtown Birmingham
Where the women shake it and the trumpets play the band
In hindsight I can see it now, what to do next time around
And I can get up, get up, I can get up now

Wrong Way Home
03:33
|

|
Well I'm feeling tired
But I'm wide awake me up
I wasn't sleeping I'm just looking towards the floor
I think I missed
The turn back long ago
But I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next sign
And I know that I have added miles to this night
I took the wrong way home tonight
You have to pay
Your dues until they'll pay for you
But I can't say for sure when that will be
I'm telling you
I don't know when I'll be back around
And it's still harder now to figure out
And I know that I have added miles to this night
I took the wrong way home tonight
Well I'm feeling tired
But I'm wide awake me up
I wasn't sleeping I'm just looking towards the floor
I think I missed
The turn back long ago
But I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next sign
And I know that I have added miles to this night
I took the wrong way home tonight
Yeah I took the wrong way home tonight

Follow Far Behind
03:37
|
|||
|
Surprise, surprise
You came into my life
With a fragile heart
Drying on the line
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind
The biggest thing
It seems to me
Is to just walk tall
And to just breathe in
To just ask why?
Cause pride’s a prize
But just enough
To speak your mind
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind
And there’s a highway in the distance
And perhaps a light or two that shines my name
Though my words might appear to be twisted
It’s these lines that’ll take me home again
Surprise, surprise
You came into my life
With a fragile heart
Drying on the line
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind

Push & Shove
04:00

Well I’m not here to fall in love
And I’m not here to push and shove
No I’m not here to do most anything at all
Well I’m not here to call your name
And I’m not here to fill your shame
With words of tenderness to quell your pain
Chorus:
And I’m not asking for your love
And I won’t beg the stars above
No I’m not here to push and shove
Well I’m not here to bring you flowers
And I won’t wait for you for hours
No that’s just not what I am here to do
No I don’t understand your faces
And I’m not one to tie your laces
No that’s just not what I am here to do

One After 909
02:29

My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I begged her not to leave and I begged her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong
Well I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 909.

Down the Line
06:00

I was dreaming about you, my love
Caught in between what my head made up
I don’t recall what had happened in the next part
I was trying to run, but my legs they got caught
Was trying to wave, but my arms were in knots
I wish I remembered, but I forget a lot
Your words echoed out as I lay down last night
A little too hot for my cold worried mind
I tried to be sure that I feel asleep on my side
Well I knew I was wrong, And I know you were right
I should have just said that, instead of my pride
I wish I remembered, but I forget in stride
My history needs to stick with me as a road map, a guide
Stay with me on down the line
I was dreaming without you, my love
Sliding between all my wandering thoughts
I try and I try, but it’s hard to erase the next part
I’m trying to run, but my legs they get caught
Trying to wave, but my arms are in knots
I wish I’d forgotten, but I remember too much

They're gonna tear down the grand old opry
They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song
They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry
Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on
Well there were campers
And there were busses
Parked all around, where there used to be a door
But that place
Called the grand ole opry
It just ain't there
Just ain't there no more
They're gonna tear down the grand old opry
They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song
They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry
Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on
Right across from the wax museum they used to line up around the block
From east Tennessee and back down home again
All of a sudden there's nothing to do where there once was an awful lot
Broad Street will never be the same
They're gonna tear down the grand old opry
They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song
They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry
Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on
I've been in love with the grand ole opry
And I guess I have now for a good many years
When I hear the grand ole opry
It makes me sad that it's gonna disappear, gonna disappear
