Hard Life Of Hustling
03:42
|
|||
You know that I
Got a drinking problem
I hope it don't get
Between you and me
Come and sit down
Don't you go and leave
But by the end of this bottle
I'm gonna feel so free
It's the hard life of hustling
Just to make ends meet
It takes a toll
On you and your needs
I got to go
And see my baby son
For he's the reason
I gotta quit having fun
Sat right by the fire
Smoking my cigar
I've traveled the whole wide world
But I haven't got far
It's the hard life of hustling
The cards aren't stacked up right
But when I get home to you
You know we'll be alright
To make some money in this godforsaken town
A good man's gotta be feeling down
And it's the hardest life
That I ever could have found
Yes it's the hard life of hustling
That's got me moving around

Sorcerer's Ways
03:58
|
|||
I'm sitting down on the street
The grass is near
There's so much to see without you here
There comes a time when I must
Make my intentions known
You can't expect me to take the blame
Now I've just been thinking it over
How I've been sweet before, you hear
Now you don't know what it's like
Or how it's been
And I know that you're
One game I can't win
There's something new with you every time
You're someone else's love
But you're not mine
I can't understand the way you tell me
That I can't
If you've got what's coming, I'm your man
Now I've just been thinking it over
How I've been reelin' in the years
Now you don't know what it's like
Or how it's been
And I know that you're one game I can't win
We'll walk across Texas
To see the Stars game
And if that isn't what you think well
I've had everything
You and your sorcerer's ways
Can count me out
Me and my Jedi friends are gone

Carter Family Song
02:57
|

Now I know what it means
To be lonely and blue
And I know what it means
To be lonesome
When I miss you
I can't tell you enough
How I can't go a day
Without you and your love
Which is mine anyway
Oh this time we've got it made
No more nights of dark and fear
You are here and I'm in first
So give me more than just sixth gear
County lines and cities scattered
Cannot keep my love from me
And when I tell you I've never seen
A girl as fine and bright as she

Heartaches By The Number
03:01
|
|||
Heartache number one
Was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two
Was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay
Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end
Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you was coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited
For your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way
Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Well I'm walking down the road
Ain't no grass around
Well I'm walking down the road
Ain't no grass around
I went to go get some
But he didn't have a pound
Gone right up the train track
I am headed East
Gone right up the train track
I am headed East
I got thirty-five dollars in my pocket
Don't you mess with me
It was always much better
When you were around
Losing you has got me down
Sitting by myself tonight
Watching the T.V.
Wishing you were still with me
I got it in the morning
And I lose it by evening time
I got it in the morning
And I lose it by evening time
I don't care what you say baby
I can't lose what's mine
I've been looking in my kitchen
I've been looking in my room
I'm gonna lose my mind if I can't find you soon
Gonna lose my mind
If I can't find you soon
I don't know what I was thinking
When I said yes to you
Well I'll look in the streets
I'll look in the alleys
I'll climb the highest mountain
I'll search the lowest valley
Headed for the chariot
Black and white makes the dash
I looked inside my jacket
But all I had was cash

I'll Always Be Yours
03:32
|
|||
As I made my evil way across East Texas
The rear view saw a black and white next to me
Now I knew right then and there he could probably smell us
But the piece in the glovebox he could not see
If it's not too late, I'll come by
Tell him I want that sticky green
Now if not he won't come back alive
Take the pound, I'll grab the wheel
And I'll always be yours
There ain't no one's I'd rather be
'Til the tide comes in the shore
I'll be yours and you'll be me
There I thought the cold and rain was out to get me
I should have known the threat was real
They might try to take me without a warning
But they are no match for something steel
And I'll always be yours
Any fear I had is gone
You're back in my arms
Now where you belong
How many times do I have to tell you?
I didn't know about any guns
You see I am just a country singer
Only tryin' to have a little fun
And I'll always be yours
There is no was or when
Just like ole Buck Owens
You and I are Together Again

You know that I'd be hurt to find out sooner
If you didn't think that I loved you the same
But I can't help but hear that old song
And all the tears to blame
I didn't make it to bed last night
I just slept on the floor
Well at least I'm not like you
Crying for more and more
If your spam account could talk
You know she'd hurt every day
Keep crying, crying, crying 'til it's over
I can't drink enough to leave you anyway
If your spam account could talk
You know she'd have something to say
Oh please don't let them find out
All the times I cried today
I know that I deserve that something
That makes me wake up sad
And you tell me every day
That you want what they had
I recall last Sunday evening
When you left me sad and lone
Where I looked up from my glass
To see you had gone back home
If your spam account could talk
Oh she'd have to tell me
All that attention ain't for free
If your spam account could talk
You know she'd have something to say
Oh please don't let them find out
All the times I cried today
I've always had a flower I could turn to
And lately I've been turning every day
But the shit don't take effect the way it used to
Now I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way
If your spam account could talk
You know that she'd have something to say
Please, please stop this crying
All night long
Before I get away

I'm gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Well I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
Hey I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Well I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Now where were you last Saturday night
While I was lyin' in jail
Hey walkin' the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail
Well I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
(Do it, Luke)
Hey now mama's a baby operator
Brother can drink and can spin
Hey now daddy owns an interest in the old cattle pen
Watch that all money roll in
Well I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Hey I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Looking To You
03:40
|
|||
Well I woke up this morning and I don't know what to do
Everything I see looks a little like you
Looks a little like you
I can't quit you baby you're all I wanna do
Well I love you so much that I can't say no
But I gotta quit you 'cause you're bad for my soul
'Cause you're bad for my soul
Well I gotta quit you
'Cause it's growing old
Well I'm looking at me and I'm looking at you
Look at yourself and tell me what you gotta do
Tell me what you gotta do
I'm sick and tired of being here with you
I left this morning with the drizzling rain
I waved my hand for a passenger train
I was travelin' when I met her
Now I'm travelin' again
I never thought I would leave her but here I am
Here I am
