My love was like a seed that you had planted
The root was not as strong as it could be
And as the years went on, you weren't enchanted
So you fell it like a great big tree
Now I'm falling timber
Timber the falling tree....
My heart was not a thing to take for granted
So loosen up your home and let me be
And if I had my way you would be planted
Drowning in the shade with me.
Now I'm calling timber...

Way down in Bowlin' Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To love down in Bowlin' Green
Bowlin' Green folks treat you kind
They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
In Bowlin' Green you walk your own line
Oh Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue Grass is find, Kentucky owns my mind
The fields down in Bowlin' Green
Have the softest grass I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To lie down in Bowlin' Green, yeah
Bowlin' Green girls treat you right
They wear dresses cut country right
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowlin' Green light
Oh Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue Grass is find, Kentucky owns my mind
Bowlin' Green, Bowlin' Green, Bowlin' Green...
Way down in Bowlin' Green

I didn't let go 'cause you hurt me
I didn't let go so you'd stay
I did let you go 'cause I love you so much
And it kills me to see us this way
Love saved my life when you found me
A debt I can only repay
By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours
And I know that you want it this way
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Long are the nights I lay cryin'
Wasn't because you weren't true
I hope you can finally be happy my love,
'Cause I'd give up my own life for you
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Oh, I jettsion all of my years
. . .

I shine like the sun
I'm on fire right now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I've only one heart to take
I've got all of what you're crying for now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I'd only one heart to break
You're crawling on the floor like a fool
And I'm so high on cruel
You'll drown in the light
And I'll burn like a star
Your tears are gonna give me fuel
Pray that your happy
And the years they fall away
Well, I've learned a lesson
. . .

Oh, the path you walk is on fire,
So wild and unashamed
With a passion you inspire
I'm gonna keep those men at bay
Cowgirl you've got that something
Of what all my dreams are made
So come on baby, just say the word,
I wanna be your slave
Yooooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooooo.....
Oh the web you weave is so tender
I'm tangled by your gaze
And you know I need surrender
I never locked you in a cage
Cowgirl I've got that loving that puts all those men to shame
So come on baby, just say you will
Don't lay me in my grave
Yooooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooooo.....
Oh, the path you walk is on fire,
So wild and unashamed
With a passion you inspire
I'm gonna keep those men at bay
Cowgirl you've got that something
Of what all my dreams are made
So come on baby, just say the word,
I wanna be your slave
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sittin' here lost in my senses
Drownin' in old memories
Brought down from on high
When you said goodbye
Seems all that I lived for were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Mind's all tied up with wild senses
It's not how I thought love would be
My heart from inside
Has burst open wide
Seems all that that have lived there were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
In you
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies

I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
When I got home from work
I was feeling pretty fine
'Til I started getting hiccups 'round suppertime
Held my breath 'til I hit the floor
But the hiccups kept coming
Even more more more
I asked my baby to stand up on a chair
And when I wasn't looking
She would give me a scare
I drank a glass of water
And I blew into a bag
But the hiccups kept a-comin
A nag nag nag
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Well I was feeling low
But my baby made me go
Down to the honky tonk and hillbilly show
An hour in the line-up
And I finally made the door
But the hiccups kept a-coming
Even more more more
First I heard the music
And then I felt a beat
And that's when I knew
That the hiccups would retreat
I headed for the dance floor
I really did my best
I did The Rump Jump
I guess the whiskey did the rest
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
The only cure is the hardwood floor

When I was young, I knew a girl
Who wouldn't love god as a test
Or gamble with her happiness
And so led astray
So she did turn
Her father would say,
'You're only a guest of the master'
But passion was her sunday best
And she fell away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
When she grew up, she fell in love
She thought it was all that she wanted
She knew how it felt to be haunted
And he ran away
Picked herself up
And said through her tears
Don't waste anymore of your time
You'll spend it all standing in line
They'll turn you away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
Oh but superstition
And your heart's permission
'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough
To make it alone
Then when she died
She didn't ask god
To take her back into his graces
She'd taken on to many shapes
And too many were strange
And as they lay her in to the ground
Her spirits, they all flew all away
The sun shone so bright on that day
You thought it was spring
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
. . .

It's your bicycle bells
And your Rembrandt swells
You're children like
And still breathing
It's your look of loss
When you're coming across
Makes me feel like a thief
When you're bleeding
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
It's the Persian sea
Running through your veins
You shed your names
With the seasons
Still they all return
With there last remains
As they lay them before you
Like breezes
It's your shimmering dress
It says no
It says yes
It says i've nothing left for concealing
It's your shapeless flesh
And your old girl's grace
It's your young girl's face
That I'm breathing
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
I'm lying
. . .

Thanks
Thanks a lot
I got a broken heart
That's all I've got
You made me cry
Now I cried a lot
I lost your love baby
Thanks a lot
You told our friend
As I was passin' by
That you're not sorry
That you made me cry
You said I deserve
Just what I got
Well if that's how you feel babe
Thanks a lot

We loved a little
& laughed a lot
Then you were gone

You'll come in with the sun in the mornin'
Like you've done so often before
But you won't find me asleep on the sofa
Exhausted from walkin' the floor
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
Somebody led me away
And this time the note on your pillow
Will go a lot more than "I'm through"
For the guilt I'm feeling this time over leaving
Is that it's so easy to do
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
. . .

Don't you misfire to fill me up
With the desire to carry on.
Don't you know honey that love's a game.
It's always hit or miss, so take your aim.
Gotta hold on tight,
Shoot me out of sight.
Don't you misfire to fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Your gun is loaded and pointed my way
There's only one bullet so don't delay
Gotta time it right
Fire me through the night
Come on, take your shot
Fire me higher
Dont you miss this time
