I've been riding these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
A weary bone can go no farther
And here's where they'll drop
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
And release me to my journey
As another day grows live
I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is being anywhere on earth you are
I've always been a gypsy
And the road caused me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home
Still got many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is being anywhere on earth you are
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I wanna do
Is being anywhere on earth you are

You called it quits
And hung up the phone
Now go love the one you choose
And my friends say I should be happy
If I'm happy
This is a good imitation of the blues
You've threatened to leave one too many times
I'm getting out a travelling shoe
And now that you are gone
I'm gonna be walking home with this good imitation of the blues
My friends all say you're no good without me
They tell me that's good for you
They say that I'm just doing fine this good imitation of the blues
You've threatened to leave one too many times
I'm getting out a travelling shoe
And now that you are gone
I'm gonna be walking home with this good imitation of the blues

Like red on a rose
When your lips first smiled at me
I was captured instantly
To each his own
Like blue in the sky
The gaze of your willing eyes
Touched something deep inside
The truth be known
That I love you like all little children love pennies
And I love you 'cause I know that I can’t do anything wrong
You're where I belong
Like red on a rose
And I love you like all little children love pennies
And I love you like good times of which I’ve known many
And I love you 'cause I know you give me a heart of my own
You make my blood flow
Like red on a rose

Nobody said that it would be easy
To take away my walkin' shoes
Cause honey I found I can't settle down
On my road there's another town
Where the people wanna hear a man
who sings the blues
Nobody said that it would be easy
Stay at home all alone
Honey I found I can't settle down
With you,
My road, there's another town
I gotta keep movin'
I gotta keep rollin' on
Some say I'm a fool
Crazy fanatic
Dreamer
Drifter
And more
I guess it's true
Like getting static
For a new pair of boots
And the way out the door
Nobody said that it would be easy
Sometimes you'll get confused
But honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people wanna hear a man
Who sings the blues
Some say I'm a fool
Crazy fanatic
A dreamer a drifter and more
I guess it's true
Cause I get ecsatic
For a new pair of boots
and a way out the door
Nobody said that it would be easy
Sometimes you'll get confused
But honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people wanan hear a man
Who sings the blues
Yeah honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people wanna hear a man
Who sings the blues

Girl, you're my sunshine,
Chase away the raindrops,
Make it all worthwhile,
Make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
Keep love flowin',
Don't let our world stop,
Keep it goin'.
I love you just the way you are,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't you change on me,
Girl, you're my lucky star,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't you change on me.
I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness and peace of mind.
Living in darkness,
Then you came,
Bringin' the sunlight
Easin' my pain.
I love you just the way you are,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Girl, don't change on me,
Don't you change on me,
Girl, you're my lucky star,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't you change on me.
If there's a heaven,
This is my prayer,
Lord knows I wanna know you
We should meet there
And then forever
We'll walk together
Nothing but sunshine,
No more stormy weather.
I love you just the way you are,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't you change on me,
Girl, you're my lucky star,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't change on me.
Oh, I love you just the way you are,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Don't change on me,
Don't you change on me,
Girl, you're my lucky star,
Honey, don't change on who you are,
Oh, don't change on me,
Don't change on me.

I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This old man don't run no more
You used to talk
And I used to nod
I don't listen
But I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second
That my key won't fit your door
I don't wantcha like I used to
This old man wants you more
Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin
I used to sing with a young man's voice
A young man's heart
and a young man's choice
Hope my song is what you're longing for
I don't sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more
Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin
Well this crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot
In the end that's what this story shows
I don't love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don't love ya like a used to
This old man loves you more

Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
Far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love
Doin' the road
Get the music done
And move along
What good does it do
To play your songs for her
And hear her say
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love
You're rollin' along
Life's been good to you
An even so
She comes to you
Late at night
The time you hear her say
Once again...
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love
. . .

The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
Or never taking a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you
I wouldn't reach for your arms
When my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands
On a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
I'd get old for sure
Had it not been you
You know there are times
That I can't wait to pick up the phone
When you're callin'
And the three little voices
That always chime in right along
When we're talkin'
Oh I never would see through
eyes of truth
And my heart
would have overlooked
a view that some just talk of
and never find
In a lifetime
It's hard to describe
in just words how I feel
when I hold stand beside you
But I make it known
It's just time that I kill
When I'm alone and without you
I will love all through the night
If you love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I'll know I'm the only one around
For a lifetime
I'd never have taken in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you
. . .

(Alan Jackson)
I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman's love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never understand
All the little things
that make It grand
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never come Face to face
With any thing
that takes the Place
Of a woman's love
Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love
Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A woman's love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love
Well I adore it
Thank god for it
. . .

Ask me any kind of question
Anything you wanna know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter
From a long time ago
Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore
Ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
You know that it's true
Don't ask why
And ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to
And ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
And you know that it's true
Don't ask why
Now don't ask why
. . .

A big moon is risin'
So bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter
Than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me
So bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone
As lovely as you
Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart
So lay down beside me
And hold me tonight
For your love has found me
And it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind
Are so scattered and few
But I won't see anyone
As lovely as you
Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart
In my heart
. . .

Well I came from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Suzanna don't you cry
I got a long way to go
I sure feel it now deep down in these dusty clothes
Through another town backed up with capricious souls
I got a long way to go
I got a lot left to say
To the empty seat that stood beside me
through the fray
Through the midnight moon
Saw fit to light my way
Got a lot left to say
But where do I go from here
When I'm lost out on the road
The way's not clear
To find my way back home
I need to hear
The only voice that leads me on
So I can find my way back to you
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Suzanna
Comin' down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Says I'm comin' from the south
Suzanna don't you cry
Where do I go from here
When I'm lost out on the road
And the way's not clear
To find my way back home
I need to hear
The only voice that leads me on
So I can find my way back to you
Soon we'll be in New Orleans
Then I'll look around
And when I find Suzanna
I'll fall down on the ground
And if I do not find her
Then I should surely die
And when I'm dead and buried
Suzanna don't you cry
. . .

I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation wanes
Like a fog
The fires rolling in
In the wind
I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live
Another day
Cause my bluebird went away
And I'm locked in this room
With my song
No escape
No way to get away
And my only connection
with tomorrow
Is hopin' that you might decide not to stay away
Well I'm out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can't find my bluebird anywhere
I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live another day
Bluebird why'd you go away?
Bluebird why'd you go away?
. . .
