I'm Movin' On
Written by Hank Snow
That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
And I'm movin' on
Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To deep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on
You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on
But someday baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on
It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)
Written by Glen Martin & Hank Cochran
He was always there each time I needed you
Holding on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No, it's not love, but it's not bad
No, it's not love, not like ours was
It's not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who he's had
No, it's not love but it's not bad
I turn to him when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you're here you're still gone
He's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No, it's not love, but it's not bad
No, it's not love, not like ours was
It's not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who he's had
No, it's not love but it's not bad
No, it's not love but it's not bad
So Sad (To Watch The Good Love Go Bad)
Written by Don Everly
We use to have good times together dear
But now I feel them slip away
It makes me cry
To see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad
Remember how you used to feel dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart
To see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad
Is it any wonder
That I'm feeling so blue
When I know for certain
That I'm losing you
It breaks my heart
To see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad
So sad to watch good love go bad
Return Of The Grievous angel
Written by Gram Parsons
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or step into your parlour
And I'll tell you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
We flew straight across that river bridge
Last night half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day
As we went roling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
And I saw my devil
And I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
But I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Restless
Written by Carl Perkins
Well, I walked up to the counter and I said
"Give me a ticket please."
He said, "Where to, Cisco?"
I said, "That's alright by me."
I'm just restless
Yeah, I got to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Now that's where I'll be found
I'm traveling light 'cause of my poor car
Take nothing but the clothes off my back
And this big old guitar
You tell that driver
Put his big foot on the gas
Drive this Greyhound
As far as it will last
Run this Greyhound
As far as it will last
Drive this country girl
A little farther down the road
Racing In The Street
Written by Bruce Springsteen
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna blow `em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast states
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Now some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back
And drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs, "Baby did you make it all right?"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares out alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street
Long May You Run
Written by Neil Young
We've been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run
Long may you run Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
Well it was back in Blind River in 1962
When I last saw you alive
But we missed that ship on the long decline
Long may you run
Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singin' "Caroline"
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time
Long may you run Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
Long may you run Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
We'll Sweep Out The Ashes (In The Morning)
Written by Joyce Allsup
We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us
We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me
So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone
Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Each time when we meet we both agree that it's for the last time
But out of your arms I'm out of my mind
So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Yes we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And we'll sweep out the ashes
We'll sweep out the ashes
We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Juanita
Written by Gram Parsons & Chris Hillman
No affection were the words that stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me for the very last time
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done to be treated this way
In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed
Then an angel appeared she was just 17
In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
Devil In Disguise
Written by Gram Parsons & Chris Hillman
She's a devil in disguise
you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise - in disguise
Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise - in disguise
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise - in disguise
Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's alright to call her but I'll bet you
The moon is full and you're just wasting time
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise - in disguise
(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date
Written by Floyd Cramer & Conway Twitty
It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
His sweet love no more I'll share
Now he's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took me home on our last date
I search for a single way
To tell him what I had to say
I kissed him watched him walk away
Set him free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date
Took the ring from my trembling finger
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know
That I'd soon miss him so
Guess I was too young to realise
So blind I couldn't see
How much he really meant to me
And that soon he would always be
On my mind in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost love on our last date
Love's Gonna Live Here
Written by Buck Owens
Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Thing's are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bells a ringing I hear birds a singing
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bees a humming
And I know the days a coming
Love's gonna live here again
Another Pot Of Tea
Written by Paul Grady
Put on another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me
Well they say that now you don't talk straight
And that of late it's been my lot to be afraid
To remember you by anything
But memories I already keep
So put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm love with the Irish accent to your story
And now I need some sympathy
It's harder when it takes so long to leave
The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve
Over the pain that came so close to you
It comes so close to me today
So put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me
Maybe Tonight
Written by Shirley Eikhard
Maybe tonight
I'll get lucky
I've been lonely too long
Maybe tonight
Some dark stranger will hear me singing this song
I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Oh, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight
Maybe this time
I'll be saying the words that I wanted to say
Maybe this time
I'll be staying for more than just a day
I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight
