Too many broken promises
Too many Trail of Tears
Too many times you were left cold
For oh so many years

Too many times you walked away
And was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give
You were often blamed

How can this world be so dark
So unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life
Fold right on top of you

God in Heaven, hear my prayer
If you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams
And lots and lots of love
For this I only ask of you
To conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles
Across the Trail of Tears

Scratche a heart on your door then I shoved myself outside
Lashed my soul cross this twin horse and rode off in the night
Guess you noticed I'm gone and the low morning sun's
Cast some shadows with questions inside
So the truth is his letter at dawn will send a new light

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said,"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Truth is las t night when you tore my heart apart my mind begin
Never thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that you fill me kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
I was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside
Now the morning and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some other town
Where we'll never care wheather this truth was lost or found

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said,"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Truth is las t night when you tore my heart apart my mind begin
Never thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that you fill me kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Truth is I lied

Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
I remember the night that I got lucky
I saw you and you saw me
Where the Cumberland River meets the Tennessee
It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

Heard the call of a whippoorwill
I thought I smelled a moonshine still
Train whistle moan on down the track
Taking me back
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

Heard the call of a whippoorwill
I thought I smelled a moonshine still
Train whistle moan on down the track
Taking me back
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

Little boy running through the yard
Fell and skinned his heart
And later climbed up in a tree
As he looked into the sky,
He began to cry
And said, "Daddy why'd you leave?"

Call Me Daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Call Me Daddy, I need to talk to you
Call Me Daddy, Help me through
And then he bowed his head to pray
"Call Me Dad"

The little boy became a man
Found a bride and took her hand
And made a baby all their own
As he looked in that baby's eyes,
As the baby cried
He swore, "You'll never be alone"

Call Me Daddy when you're feelin' blue
Call Me Daddy and I'll talk to you
Call Me Daddy and I'll help you through
And then he bowed his head to pray
"Call Me Dad"

Another life has come and gone
Another baby's grown
And stands alone against the world
As he looks into the sky,
He begins to cry
And says, "Daddy I miss you"

Call Me Daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Call Me Daddy, I need to talk to you
Call Me Daddy, help me through
And then he bowed his head to pray
"Call Me Dad"

The warden led a prisoner down a hallway to his doom
I stand up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar playing friend do my request"

Let him sing me back home with song I used to hear
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a chair fromm off the streets
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers,"There's a song my momma sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?"

Let him sing me back home with song I used to hear
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die

"And sing me back home before I die"

Do I love you? Yes a thousand times
Lately I've been goin' out of my mind
Get the feelin' your pullin' away
Ut's gonna hurt me if you wont stay
Can't stand the thought of bein' alone, you need to be there when I get home
If you can tell me one more time it would surely ease my mind

Three little words will be fine
I love you
I love you
I need you
To know that your still mine
Three little words will be fine

It's gotten crazy I don't understand
How can love get so out of hand?
I've never been so uncertain before
I have to know if I'm right or wrong
With mixed emotions I can't go on
I've got to know that I'm not blind
Just lay it on the line

Three little words will be fine
I love you
I love you
I need you
To know that your still mine
Three little words will be fine

Can't stand the thought of being alone
You need to be there when I get home
If you can tell me one more time it would surely ease my mind

Three little words will be fine
I love you
I love you
I need you
To know that your still mine
Three little words will be fine

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
She said Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
The note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild
And we don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.
Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon
They were sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say
She said, I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A.
Well there's Bobby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date
Misses Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And Mister Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?
Well Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did , it happend just this way
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.

Though I let you down you stayed by my side
Knowing the truth each time I lied
Though I nearly left you, you stayed till the end
I am here now, you were there then

You were there then, I am here now
You believed in forever and were here somehow
You were my lover, my loyal friend
I am here now, you were there then

There was a time when you should have been gone
I was so weak and you were so strong
I saw the light through the long, endless nights
Thank God I found my way home

You were there then, and I am here now
You believed in forever and were here somehow
You were my lover, my loyal friend
I am here now, you were there then

I am here now, you were there then
I am here now, you were there then
I am here now...

I been feelin? very weak
I been turnin? pretty pale
First I?m fallin? to my knees
Then I?m hangin? by my tail

Asked the doctor for some medicine
He said, "There?s nothin? we can do"
Preacher said, "It?s gonna kill you, son"
Mama dropped the chicken soup

I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you
I?m just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you

Ever since you made me leave
Can?t remember wrong or right
When I?m up, I wanna sleep
When I?m asleep, I wanna fight

Dialed the number for emergency
Sheriff said to tough it out
I called my psychic friend on Channel Three
And she confirmed without a doubt

I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you
I?m just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you

Bells are ringin? in my ears
Wolf is howlin? in the yard
But the only thing I hear
Is the poundin? of my heart

I saw my picture in the evening news
I had a caption by my head
They polled the people for the public view
And nearly everybody said

I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you
I?m just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you

I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you
I?m just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you

I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
While I?m gettin? over you
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help
I?m gonna need a little help, help, help

I can feel your teardrops on my shoulder
I don't know what to say or what to do
You're the one who told me it was over
You said this love affair was all but through
Well I know that there's two sides
To every story
And that's what's going on inside my soul
'Cause my heart is saying
"Leave and you'll be sorry"
But my mind is saying it's time for me to go

And my heart says I should stay
But my mind says I should go
Should we end our love today?
Or should we let it grow?
And my heart says I should stay
But my mind says I should go
Tell me if you love me, let me know
Tell me, Should I Stay or Should I Go?

To think of me without you, I'm so lonely
'Cause you're the one
Who helped me for so long
All the nights we'd lay to love each other
With the radio playing our favorite song
And I remember when you told me
You first loved me
With teardrops in my eyes I said
"I love you too"
And my heart still feels the same
And will forever
But my mind is tellin' me
That we're all through

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Tell me please
I need to know

Crazy mama, where you been so long?
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
Been hiding out, know that's true
Crazy mama, I sure need you
Crazy mama, where you been so long?

- Instrumental -

Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Lord have mercy, can I see
That crazy mama coming back to me?
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
