CHORUS

I, I, I, I, I AM A DESPERADO.

I'LL SING THE NEXT CHORUS IF YOU’LL FIND ME MY HORSE

AND PASS ME THE PINA' COLADA.

VERSE

I’LL HIT THE TRAIL IF YOU’LL GO MY BAIL

AND PASS ME A PAIL OF TEQUILA.

A LITTLE HUNGOVER, I FEELA, MY CADILLAC DON’T LET THEM STEALA.

VERSE

AT NIGHT WHEN THE MOON IS A BIG GOLD BALLOON

YOU’LL SOON SEE A DESPERADO

CHASING THAT GIRL WHO IS OUT-OF-THE WORLD.

WHEN HE GETS ONE WE ALL SAY 'MUY BRAVO'

ALTERANTE CHORUS

I, I, I, I, I AM A DESPERADO.

I LOVE IT OF COURSE, WHILE RIDING MY HORSE

FROM TEXAS TO COLORADO.

VERSE

I, I, I, I, I AM A DESPERADO.

WE DRINK WITH OUR MIGHT AND STAY UP ALL NIGHT

AND GET HIGH AS A KITE BY MORNING

WE DEPEND ON OUR HORSE, TO KEEP US ON COURSE

WHILE SHOUTING AND SHRIEKING AND MOANING.

VERSE

WHILE WE’RE ON THE WAGON WE’RE NOT ON THE WAGON

AND WE’RE NOT JUST A BRAGGIN' AMEGO.

CASES OF BEER WE DRINK WITH GOOD CHEER

A BEER TRUCK DOES FOLLOW WHERE WE GO.

VERSE

OUT ON THE TRAIL WE DON’T GET MUCH MAIL

BUT THAT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER

WE RIDE THE BEST TO SHOW ALL THE REST

THAT PERFECTION WHAT WE ARE AFTER.

CHORUS

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

IN THE TWILIGHT GLOW, I SEE HER,

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN.

WHEN WE KISSED GOODBYE AND PARTED,

I KNEW WE'D NEVER MEET AGAIN.

LOVE IS LIKE A DYING EMBER,

ONLY MEMORIES REMAIN.

THROUGH THE AGES I'LL REMEMBER,

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN.

SOMEDAY WHEN WE MEET UP YONDER,

WE'LL STROLL HAND IN HAND AGAIN.

IN THE LAND THAT KNOWS NO PARTING,

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN.

COOL WATER

ALL DAY I'VE FACED A BARREN WASTE,

WITHOUT THE TASTE OF WATER, COOL WATER.

OLD DAN AND I WITH THROATS BURNT DRY

AND SOULS THAT CRY FOR WATER, COOL, CLEAR, WATER.

KEEP A'MOVIN DAN, DON'T YOU LISTEN TO HIM,

DAN, HE'S A DEVIL_, NOT A MAN_, AND HE SPREADS

THE BURNING SAND WITH WATER_,

DAN_, CAN YOU SEE THAT BIG GREEN TREE,

WHERE THE WATER'S RUNNING FREE AND IT'S

WAITING THERE FOR YOU AND ME.

CRAZY ARMS

NOW_, BLUE AIN'T THE WORD FOR THE WAY THAT I FEEL_,

AND THE STORM'S BREWING IN THIS HEART OF MINE,

THIS AIN'T NO CRAZY DREAM_, I KNOW THAT IT’S REAL_,

YOU'RE SOMEONE ELSE'S LOVE NOW YOU'RE NOT MINE.

CHORUS

CRAZY ARMS THAT REACH TO HOLD SOMEBODY NEW,

FOR MY YEARNING HEART KEEPS SAYIN' YOU'RE NOT MINE.

MY TROUBLED MIND KNOWS SOON TO ANOTHER YOU'LL BE WED_,

AND THAT'S WHY I'M LONELY ALL THE TIME.

SO_, PLEASE TAKE THE TREASURED DREAMS I HAD FOR YOU AND ME_,

AND TAKE ALL THE LOVE I THOUGHT WAS MINE.

SOMEDAY MY CRAZY ARMS MAY HOLD SOMEBODY NEW_,

BUT NOW_, I'M SO LONELY ALL THE TIME.

AYA_, EN, EL RANCHO GRANDE_,

AYA DONDE VIVIA.

HABIA UNA RANCHERITA

QUE ALLEGRE ME DESEA

QUE ALLEGRE ME DESEA.

TE VOY HACER TUS CALZONES_,

COMO SE USA EL RANCHERO

COMIENZA DE LLANA_,

Y SE ACABA DE CUERO.

HOME ON THE RANGE

GIVE ME A HOME WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM_,

AND THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY.

WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD_,

AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY.

HOME_, HOME ON THE RANGE.

WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY_,

WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD_,

AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY.

WHERE THE AIR IS SO PURE AND THE ZEPHYRS SO FREE,

AND THE BREEZES SO BALMY AND LIGHT_,

THAT I WOULD NOT EXCHANGE MY HOME ON THE RANGE

FOR ALL OF THE CITIES SO BRIGHT.

ON_, GIVE ME A LAND WHERE THE BRIGHT DIAMOND SAND

FLOWS LEISURELY DOWN THE CLEAR STREAM_,

WHERE THE GRACEFUL WHITE SWAN GOES GLIDING ALONG_,

LIKE A MAID IN A HEAVENLY DREAM.

I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN

CHORUS:

TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN_,

I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I'VE REALLY ALWAYS BEEN.

I GOT OVER YOU JUST LONG ENOUGH

TO LET MY HEARTACHE MEND

THEN TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN.

WHAT A FOOL I WAS TO THINK I COULD GET BY,

WITH ONLY THESE FEW MILLION TEARS I'VE CRIED.

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE WORST WAS YET TO COME_,

AND THAT CRYING TIME FOR ME HAS JUST BEGUN.

CAUSE: CHORUS (REPEAT)

(IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)

TODAY I PASSED YOU ON THE STREET,

AND MY HEART FELL AT YOUR FEET.

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

SOMEBODY ELSE STOOD BY YOUR SIDE_,

AND HE LOOKED SO SATISFIED.

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

A PICTURE FROM THE PAST CAME SLOWLY STEALING.

AS I BRUSHED YOUR ARM AND WALKED SO CLOSE TO YOU.

THEN SUDDENLY I GOT THAT OLD TIME FEELING.

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

IT'S HARD TO KNOW ANOTHER'S LIPS WILL KISS YOU_,

AND HOLD YOU JUST THE WAY I USED TO DO.

ON_, HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH I MISS YOU,

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY HONEY

IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY HONEY_, I'VE GOT THE TIME.

WE’LL GO HONKY TONKIN' AND WE'LL HAVE A TIME.

WE'LL HAVE MORE FUN BABY_, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE.

IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY HONEY_, I'VE GOT THE TIME.

THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO TARRY, WE’LL START OUT TONIGHT.

WE’LL HAVE FUN_, OH BOY_, OH BOY_, AND WE’LL DO IT RIGHT.

BRING ALONG YOUR CADILLAC LEAVE MY OLD WRECK BEHIND.

IF YOU’VE GOT THE MONEY HONEY_, I’VE GOT THE TIME.

WE’LL GO HONKY TONKIN' BABE, MAKE EVERY SPOT IN TOWN.

WE’LL GO TO THE PARK WHERE ITS DARK AND WE WON’T FOOL AROUND.

IF YOU RUN SHORT OF MONEY, I’LL RUN SHORT OF TIME.

IF YOU’VE GOT NO MORE MONEY HONEY I’VE NO MORE TIME.

(ON THE BAYOU)

GOOD-BYE JOE_, ME GOTTA GO_, ME OH MY OH

ME GOTTA TO POLE THE PIROGUE DOWN THE BAYOU

MY YVONNE_, THE SWEETEST ONE_, ME OH MY OH

SON OF A GUN_, WE’LL HAVE BIG FUN ON THE BAYOU.

*JAMBALAYA AND A CRAWFISH PIE AND FILLET GUMBO

CAUSE TONIGHT I’M GONNA SEE MY MACHERAMIO

PICK GUITAR, FILL FRUIT JAR AND BE GAY-O

SON OF A GUN_, WE’LL HAVE BIG FUN ON THE BAYOU.

THIGODAUX, FONTAINEAU, THE PLACE IS BUZZIN'

KINFOLK COME TO SEE YVONNE BY THE DOZEN

DRESS IN STYLE AND GO HOG WILD_, ME OH MY OH

SON OF A GUN_, WE’LL HAVE BIG FUN ON THE BAYOU.

*CHORUS

SETTLE DOWN FAR FROM TOWN_, GET ME A PIROGUE

AND I’LL CATCH ALL THE FISH IN THE BAYOU

SWAP MY MOM TO BUY YVONNE WHAT SHE NEED-O

SON OF A GUN_, WE’LL HAVE BIG FUN ON THE BAYOU.

YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYIN'_,

SOMETIMES IT SEEMS SO USELESS TO REMAIN.

BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL BE DARLIN', DARLIN'

YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS_,

YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD ANYMORE,

EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE ON MY FIGHTIN' SIDE.

CHORUS

SO I’LL HANG ROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME_,

AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING IN THE RAIN.

AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN'_, DARLIN'_,

YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME.

I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON_,

AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN,

BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK_,

SHE GOT RUNNED OVER BY A DAD-GUMMED TRAIN.

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL MAKE YOU WEEP.

YOU’LL CRY AND CRY AND TRY TO SLEEP.

BUT SLEEP WON’T COME THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL TELL ON YOU.

WHEN TEARS COME DOWN LIKE FALLIN' RAIN

YOU’LL TOSS AROUND AND CALL MY NAME.

YOU’LL WALK THE FLOOR THE WAY I DO

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL TELL ON YOU.

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL PINE SOMEDAY

AND CRAVE THE LOVE YOU THREW AWAY.

THE TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU’LL BE BLUE

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL TELL ON YOU.

WHEN TEARS COME DOWN LIKE FALLIN RAIN

YOU'LL TOSS AROUND AND CALL MY NAME.

YOU’LL WALK THE FLOOR THE WAY I DO

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART WILL TELL ON YOU.

DESPERADO

DESPERADO, WHY DON’T YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES?

YOU BEEN OUT RIDIN' FENCES FOR SO LONG NOW.

OH_, YOU’RE A HARD ONE_, I KNOW THAT YOU GOT YOUR REASONS_,

THESE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASIN' YOU CAN HURT YOU SOME-HOW.

DON’T YOU DRAW THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS_, BOY, SHE’LL BEAT

YOU IF SHE’S ABLE. YOU KNOW THE QUEEN OF HEARTS IS ALWAYS

YOUR, BEST BET.

NOW IT SEEMS TO ME SOME FINE THINGS HAVE BEEN LAID UPON

YOUR TABLE, BUT YOU ONLY WANT THE ONES THAT YOU CAN’T GET.

DESPERADO, OH, YOU AIN’T GETTIN' NO YOUNGER, YOUR PAIN

AND YOUR HUNGER_, THEY’RE DRIVIN' YOU HOME.

AND FREEDOM_, OH FREEDOM_, WELL, THAT’S JUST SOME PEOPLE

TALKIN', YOUR PRISON IS WALKIN' THROUGH THIS WORLD ALL

ALONE. DON’T YOUR FEET GET COLD IN THE WINTER TIME?

THE SKY WON’T SNOW AND THE SUN WON’T SHINE_, IT’S HARD TO

TELL THE NIGHT – TIME FROM THE DAY.

YOU’RE LOSIN’ ALL YOUR HIGHS AND LOWS. AIN’T IT FUNNY

HOW THE FEELIN' GOES A WAY?

DESPERADO_, WHY DON’T YOU COME TO YOU SENSES? COME DOWN

FROM YOUR FENCES_, OPEN THE GATE. IT MAY BE RAININ'

BUT THERE’S A RAINBOW ABOVE YOU. YOU BETTER LET SOMEBODY

LOVE YOU_, YOU BETTER LET SOME BODY LOVE YOU, BEFORE IT’S

TOO LATE...

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

I AM WEAK BUT THOU ART STRONG_,

JESUS KEEPS ME FROM ALL WRONG.

I'LL BE SATISFIED AS LONG

AS I WALK_, LET ME WALK_, CLOSE TO THEE.

CHORUS

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE_,

GRANTED JESUS IS MY PLEA.

EVER WALKING CLOSE TO THEE_,

LET IT BE_, DEAR LORD_, LET IT BE.

WHEN MY FEEBLE LIFE IS O’RE

TIME FOR ME WILL BE NO MORE.

GUIDE ME GENTLY SAFELY HOME_,

TO THAT KINGDOM SHORE_, TO THAT SHORE.

REPEAT CHORUS

OH, LONESOME ME

EVERYBODY'S GOING OUT AND HAVIN' FUN_,

I'M JUST A FOOL FOR STAYIN' HOME AND HAVIN' NONE.

I CAN’T GET OVER HOW SHE SET ME FREE_,

OH, LONESOME ME.

A BAD MISTAKE I’M MAKIN' BY JUST HANGIN' 'ROUND_,

I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE SOME FUN AND PAINT THE TOWN.

A LOVE SICK FOOL THAT’S BLIND AND JUST CAN’T SEE.

ON, LONESOME ME

I BET SHE’S NOT LIKE ME_,

SHE’S OUT AND FANCY FREE

FLIRTING WITH THE BOYS WITH ALL HER CHARMS.

BUT, I STILL LOVE HER SO,

AND BROTHER DON’T YOU KNOW_,

I’D WELCOME HER RIGHT BACK HERE IN MY ARMS.

THERE MUST BE SOME WAY I CAN LOSE THESE LONESOME BLUES_,

FORGET ABOUT THE PAST AND FIND SOMEBODY NEW.

I’VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z_, OH_, LONESOME ME.

RELEASE ME

PLEASE RELEASE ME_, LET ME GO.

FOR I DON’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE.

TO WASTE OUR LIVES WOULD BE A SIN_,

RELEASE ME AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN.

I HAVE FOUND A NEW LOVE, DEAR,

AND I WILL ALWAYS WANT HER NEAR.

HER LIPS ARE WARM WHILE YOURS ARE COLD_,

RELEASE ME_, MY DARLING_, LET ME GO.

PLEASE RELEASE ME_, CAN’T YOU SEE_,

YOU’D BE A FOOL TO CLING TO ME.

TO LIVE A LIE WOULD BRING US PAIN_,

SO RELEASE ME AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN.

AMAZING GRACE

AMAZING GRACE_, HOW SWEET THE SOUND

THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME.

I ONCE WAS LOST_, BUT NOW AM FOUND

WAS BLIND_, BUT NOW I SEE.

‘TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,

AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIVED.

HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR,

THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED.

WHEN WE'VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS_,

BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN:

WE'VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD'S PRAISE

THAN WHEN WE FIRST BEGUN.

THAT'S MY STORY

THAT'S MY STORY_, THAT’S MY STORY

I AIN’T GOT A WITNESS AND I CAN’T PROVE IT

BUT THAT’S MY STORY AND I’M STICKING TO IT

I CAME IN AS THE SUN CAME UP

SHE GLARED AT ME OVER HER COFFEE CUP

WHERE YOU BEEN SO I THOUGHT REAL HARD

I FELL ASLEEP IN THE HAMMOCK IN THE YARD

SHE SAID_, YOU DON’T KNOW IT BUT YOU JUST BLEW IT

WELL_, THAT’S MY STORY AND I'M STICKIN TO IT

CHORUS

I GOT THAT DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT LOOK

SHE READ MY FACE LIKE THE COVER OF A BOOK

DON’T EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE ALL THAT STATIC

JUST LAST WEEK I THREW THAT HAMMOCK IN THE ATTIC

MY SKIN GOT SO THIN YOU COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT

(AND I STUTTERED) WELL_, THAT’S MY STORY AND I’M S S S STICKING TO IT

CHORUS

YOU KNOW THE TIME COMES WHEN A WISE MAN KNOWS

THE BEST THING THAT HE CAN DO

IS JUST LOOK HER IN THE EYES_, BEG FOR MERCY

AND FACE THE BITTER TRUTH

WELL_, HONEY ME AND THE BOYS PLAYED CARDS ALL NIGHT

THERE WASN’T NO HANKY PANKY_, NOT A WOMEN IN SIGHT

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE CALLED AND BABY_, I’M REAL SORRY

LET’S GET A CELLULAR PHONE AND THEN YOU WON’T HAVE TO WORRY

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND DARLIN’ I’M READY TO PROVE IT
