(Johnny Cash)
One of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me
I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry
And the warm sunshine is like a stranger there's a cruel violation with the dawn
Lord my pain can't stand illumination
And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone
[ harmonica ]
One of these cold lonesome mornings dark and early
Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly
While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you I'll wake up and I can't
cry
But I know my heart can't stand another tremor
Now it's holding together I don't know
But just before the dawning's first glimmer
One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go
[ harmonica - guitar ]

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows
That stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman

Without love I am half human without love I'm all machine
Without love there's nothing doin' I will die without love
Without love I am an island all by myself in a heartbreak sea
Without love there's no denyin' I am dyin' without love
For there is nowhere I can run and there is no hiding place
Sticking out like a sore thumb by that gloomy look upon my face
Without love I'm incomplete without love I am not whole
Without love I'm barely on my feet I am dyin' without love
[ guitar ]
For there is nowhere I can run...

(Billy Joe Shaver)
The legs on the lady a walkin' was tanned to a dark berry brown
Her body was made like a song to be played to the tune of a million a pound
So was a wonder of a woman I reckon and she's who screwed her head on right
The toast of the world was the long legged girl and the cowboy who started the
fight
He'd just pulled into town in an old green 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck
With whiskey bumps all over it and the right front fender falling off
He coasted on into a no parking zone
Got out and took the keys and chunked 'em down a gutter
Turned around and just walked off
He allowed how his time had been wasted or drinking and running around
He spent half his life searchin' barrooms at night
For the sweetheart that he never found
It was plain from the moment their eyes met they'd wind up in each others arms
The lady's young life was laid open that night
And the cowboy drank deep of her charms
Singing hey-hi-de-he from the depths of the sea to the mountains so hollering
high
I've found the best one under God's given sun yeah the cowboy got lucky tonight
While the angel beside him lay sleeping he silently thanked God above
For being a kind hearted father and blessing his love with her love
For one night of love with that woman was more than he knew he deserved
So he found all he had left worth givin' and he gave all he had left to her
He slid back inside his ole levi's and he filled up his boots with his feet
While the subways beneath New York City screamed through the veins of the street
For the lady gave up without question the trophy she saved all her life
Then she curled up beside his old weather worn hide
And the cowboy just laid down and died
Hey-hi-de-hi when a whoop through the street as his soul slowly winged out of
sight
The lady was torn from the child bein' born and the cowboy found heaven that
night
The lady was torn from the child bein' born and the cowboy found heaven that

Buck in 1899 everybody sang Auld Lang Syne
A hundred years would take a long long time for every boy and girl
Now there's just one thing that I would like to know where did the 20th century
go
I swear it was there just a minute ago all over this world
All over this world all over this world
The 20th century is almost over almost over almost over
The 20th century is almost over all over the world
[ banjo ]
Does anyone recall the great depression I read all about it in the true
confession
Sorry I was late for the recording session but somebody put me on hold
Did anybody see those linoleum floors petroleum jelly and the two world wars
They went around in revolving doors all over this world
All over this world...
[ banjo ]
Old Father Time is a rumblin' and a rappin'
Standin' at the window thumpin' and a tappin'
Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen hope it don't happen to you
You know the Judgement Day is gettin' nearer there it is in the rear view mirror
If you duck down I could see a little clearer all over this world
All over this world...
All over this world...

I took a tour to Texas and from Waco I called you
But day by day no answer and I'm Big Bluebonnet blue
I'm singin' and they're dancin' but I'm feelin' Big D bad
I'm Sweetwater beat and I'm Texas City sad
The rhythm keeps me livin' but have you heard the news
There's a sad song singer comin' with the rockabilly blues
[ guitar ]
It's hard to keep on singin' when you're lonesome to the bone
Ten thousand happy people but I'm San Antone alone
One night stands and the man demands that I get up and go
I'm Odessa desperate and San Angelo low
The rhythm keeps me livin'...
[ harmonica ]
It's the same old tune in Temple bout the lovin' I ain't had
I'm gettin' Beamont bitter and Amarillo mad
Givin' up on callin' you cause you're evading me
I'm coming home and if you're gone I'm gonna be Tennessee free

(Kris Kristofferson)
Darling the seasons are changing see now the leaves how they die
Love needs no reason for ending come kiss your baby goodbye
Darling the last time you lied was it really the last time
Have all the tears that you've cried simply dried up and gone
All in the world you can hurt anymore is my feeling
Whatever love ever was never lasted too long
Maybe the best of our life was a beautiful dream babe
That conscience was destined to crumble like castles in sand
All there is left of our love is a little girl's laughter
Let her keep making believing as long as she can
Now and again I still hear some old songs I don't want to
Is it the same over there where you found your new friend
Sometimes at night I still wake up and feel something missing
Maybe I'll never believe in forever again
Darling the seasons are changing see now the leaves how they die

Well I think that I should tell you she's a go-er
And when she goes she won't come back no more
There ain't nothing like it when you've got her all alone
And there's not anything that can replace her when she's gone
Oh I envy you until the day she walks back out your door
And that she's gonna do cause she's a go-er
Now don't let her stay too long she'll take the heart right out of your song
You'll pay the price for her one time but she won't be back anymore
I just thought I'd tell you she's a go-er
[ guitar ]
Yes I guess I should have told you she's a go-er
I should have told you that way back long before
But I was trying to overcome the pain she put me through
I was fightin' to forget her when she got around to you
Oh you'll be heaven high till she don't want you anymore
Then she'll be gone again cause she's a go-er

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

[ duet with June Carter ]
Now you're off and runnin' run just like you're scared
Run just like a grey dog run just like a deer
Something in the bushes starin' out at you starin' at your feelings feelin' like
you do
One way rider one way down the road baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go
Lovers save your secrets trust not into fools
Don't go look for trouble it will come to you
Like some long lost passage fly in broken lines
Here in the fleeting moment really gone this time
One way rider one way down the road baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go
[ ac.guitar - dobro ]
Once upon a victim circumstance is due tend to take a hold on everything you do
First we follow leaders next we follow fools now we follow footsteps sneakin'
upon you
One way rider one way down the road baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go
One way rider one way down the road baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go
