If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
If you love somebody enough
You'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me 'cause you are my friend
Now, I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
If you tell me that she's not here
I'll follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
She would get mad and she used to say
She'd come back to Memphis someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
Now, I haven't eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
And I'll never rest 'til I find out why she had to go
Thank you for your precious time
Forgive me if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

These Days
03:03
|
|||
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to
I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days
These days I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
Well, it's just that I've been losing for so long
Well, I've stopped my dreaming
I don't do too much scheming
These days, these days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them

The sun is surely sinking down
And the moon is slowly rising
But this old world must still be spinning round
And I still love you
So, close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's alright
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song when I'm gone
It won't be long before another day
And we’re gonna have a good time
And no one's gonna take that time away
And you can stay as long as you like
So, close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's alright
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song when I'm gone
So, close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's alright
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song when I'm gone

If You Ain't Got Love
02:28
|
|||
You can be a prince
You can be a king
You know you can do anything
But you can’t hear the birdies sing
If you ain’t got love
You can buy a house
And put it on your land
A pretty white place on the purty white sand
But you’re a pauper with an empty hand
If you ain’t got love
If you ain’t got love
You ain’t got nothing
You ain’t living at all
If you aint’ got love you got nobody
To catch you when you fall
You can live it up
And you can hit the town
You can be the biggest playboy around
But you ain’t nothing when the lights go down
If you ain’t got love
If you ain’t got love
You ain’t got nothing
You ain’t living at all
If you aint’ got love you aint’ got nobody
To catch you when you fall
You can live it up
And you can hit the town
You can be the biggest playboy around
But you ain’t nothing when the lights go down
If you ain’t got love
You ain’t nothing when the lights go down
If you ain’t got love
You ain’t nothing when the lights go down
If you ain’t got love

There's A Rugged Road
03:36
|
|||
There's a rugged road on the prairie
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
There a stranger strives solitary
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
He can blaze a trail, though the rumblin'
Dims his guiding light to just a spark
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
When the moon is high he gives his heart
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Gainin' steady till this round is won
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
People far below chasin' pleasure
Offer him directions on the run
Prophets on the path offer treasure
Though he's mighty hungry he takes none
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Blindly faithful but followin' none
On the long & lonely road to kingdom come
When the sun goes down at the right time
Comes a-windin' through the purple haze
Just a feather's touch in the night time
It'll color all my weary days
Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come

I Will
01:50
|
|||
Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
How you know I will
I will

I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course, I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is the same
I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart
Could kid the moon
What's in store?
Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I just stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

Feelin' Good Again
03:31
|
|||
Standin' down on Main Street
Across from Mr. Blues
In my faded leather jacket
And my weathered Brogan shoes
A chill north wind was blowin'
But the spring was comin' on
As I wondered to myself
Just how long I had been gone
So, I strolled across old Main Street
Walked down a flight of stairs
I stepped into the hall
And saw that all my friends were there
Well, the neon sign was flashin' saying "Welcome come on in"
It feels so good feelin' good again
My favorite band was playin'
An Otis Redding song
And when they sang the chorus everybody sang along
And Dan and Margarita
They were swayin' side by side
And I heard they were divorcin'
But I guess they let it slide
And I wished I had some money
So that I could buy a round
And I wished I'd cashed my paycheck
Before I came to town
But I reached into my pocket
Found three twenties and a ten
It feels so good feelin' good again
Well there goes old man Perkins
Just sittin' on his stool
Watchin' Butch and Jimmy John
Talkin' loud and playin' pool
And the boys from Silver City
Were all standin' by the fire
Singin' like they thought
Themselves the Tabernacle choir
And I wanted you to see them all
I wished that you were there
I looked across the room
And saw you standin' on the stair
And when I caught your eye
I saw you break into a grin
It feels so good feelin' good again
And I wanted you to see them all
I wished that you were there
I looked across the room
And saw you standin' on the stair
And when I caught your eye
I saw you break into a grin
It feels so good feelin' good again
It feels so good feelin' good again

Waltzing’s For Dreamers
03:56
|
|||
Oh play me a blues song
And fade down the light
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Just let me dream on
Oh just let me sway
While the sweet violins
And the saxophones play
And I know you don't know me
But can we pretend
That we care for each other
Till the band reach the end
And it’s one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step’s for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Now they say love's for gamblers
And the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So, don't send me home now
Put a shot in my arm
And we'll sing ‘bout old memories
And drink till the dawn
And hey there bandleader won't you play one more time
For I've got plenty money in this pocket of mine
And it’s one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step’s for sighing, and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
And I know you don't know me
But can we pretend
That we care for each other
Till the band reach the end
And it’s one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step’s for sighing, and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

High Sierra
03:07
|
|||
I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
And I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
The way I feel, I can't explain
So much passion turned to pain
The sun still shines most of the time
Did you know the sun shines when it rains?
And I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
And I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
And I've been cursed and I've been praised
And I've been nothing these days
But I'll come back, time will see
If I'm wrong about you, right about me
I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
And I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
Wrong about you, right about me

Blue Virginia Blues
03:49
|
|||
Have you ever been to Richmond in November?
When the cold Virginia rain is coming down
Friends, I'm here to tell you it's no pleasure
When you're all alone and a stranger to the town
Don't get me wrong, I do like east Virginia
And Richmond's full of hospitality
Except for one Virginia girl I know of
That made a perfect love wreck out of me
Blue Virginia blue
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blue
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blue
Well, she called me up in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Said "I need you here in Richmond, right away"
"Take the bus and I'll meet you at the station"
"Bring some clothes I might want you to stay"
Well, my bus pulled in the station late this evening
And there ain't a soul around this place but me
She must have changed her mind or she'd forgotten
And her name ain't in the phone directory
Blue Virginia blue
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blue
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blue
Well, I wish I had some money for a taxi
Or a warm and cozy place to lie down
Instead of standing all alone in Richmond
When the cold Virginia rain is coming down
Blue Virginia blue
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues

Flower's Grave
02:55
|
|||
Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland
I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland
Tell me who will put flowers on a flower's grave?
Who will say a prayer?
Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland?
Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland?
Are these days forever and always?
And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloom
For a faded rose
Will I be the one that you save?
I love when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
One rose blooms and another will die
It's always been that way
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower's grave
