From Luckenbach to Lubbock,
Seguin to San Antone
Terlingua to Odessa
Houston to Amarillo
I’ve known every cowgirl in Texas
Every girlfriend and older sister’s been checked off my list
And if I’d known how much I was gonna miss ya
I would have never let you go
Sweet Marissa
Sweet Marissa
You were a red-headed stranger
With a dangerous smile
I was a good ole boy from town
Alright, alright, alright
And I’ve known every cowgirl in Texas
Every girlfriend and older sister’s been checked off my list
But if I’d known how much I was gonna miss ya
I would have never let you go
Sweet Marissa

L-I-V-I-N, you’re just living, living, living
L-I-V-I-N, your love is slipping away from me
L-I-V-I-N, you’re just living, living, living
L-I-V-I-N, your love is slipping away from me
L-I-V-I-N, you’re just living, living, living
L-I-V-I-N, your love is slipping away from me
L-I-V-I-N, you’re just living, living, living
L-I-V-I-N, your love is slipping away from me

Worms

I had a dream I was under the ground
My friends and family were buried all around
A worm took a bite of me, then he washed it down with a bite of you
Nibble on my feet and they nibble on my toes
All becomes the same when our bodies decompose
We all turn into dirt someday
The same dirt as me
Like one becomes a two, and two becomes a three
The same worms that eat me will someday eat you too
They’re gonna eat you too
I had a dream I was under the ground
My friends and family were buried all around
A worm took a bite of me, then he washed it down with a bite of you
The same worms that eat me will someday eat you too
They’re gonna eat you too
Same worms that eat me
Gonna nibble on your toes, gonna nibble on your clothes
I had a dream I was under the ground
Same worms that eat me
Nibble all around you

Oh the legend lives all the way down
On the water they call the north sea
The sea it is said never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early
When the skies of November turn gloomy
When your ship comes in, you’ll be happy
When your ship comes in
Does anyone know where the love of God goes,
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay
If they’d put fifteen more miles behind her,
If they’d put fifteen miles behind her
Oh they might have split up, or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
Of the sons and the wives and the daughters
When your ship comes in, you’ll be happy
When your ship comes in
The sea it is said never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early
When the gales of November come early
When the gales of November come early

In The Navy, yes you can sail the seven seas!
In The Navy, yes you can put your mind at ease!
In The Navy, come on now people make a stand!
In The Navy, can’t you see we need a hand!
In The Navy, come on, protect the motherland!
In The Navy, come on and join your fellow man!

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you’ve ever seen a one-trick pony then you’ve seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street
If you’ve ever seen a one-legged dog then you’ve seen me
You’ve seen me, I come and stand at every door
You’ve seen me, I always leave with less than I have before
You’ve seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, friend

Live and Let Die
01:33

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(you know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can't make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
There she goes, there she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can’t explain
The feeling that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can’t explain
The feeling that remains
This will be an everlasting love
This will be the one I’ve waited for
This will be the first time anyone has loved me
I’m so glad you found me in time
I’m so glad that you rectified my mind
This will be an everlasting love for me, oh,
Loving you is some kind of wonderful
Because you showed me just how much you care
You’ve given me the thrill of a lifetime
And made me believe you’ve got more thrills to spare, oh
This will be, you and me
Yessiree, eternally
Hugging and squeezing and kissing and pleasing
Together forever through ever whatever,
Yeah, yeah
You and me
So long as I’m living true love I’ll be giving
To you I’ll be serving ‘cause you’re so deserving
From now on, yeah, from now on
From now on, yeah, from now on
From now on, yeah, from now on

These Days
02:46
|

|
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 for you
And all the times I had the chance to
I had a lover
It’s so hard to risk another these days
These days
Now if I seem to be afraid to live the life that I have made in song
It’s just that I’ve been losing for so long
I’ll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improvising these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
Count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Please don’t confront me with my failures
I’ve not forgotten them

Farewell and adieu, you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain
For we’ve received orders to sail back to Boston
And nevermore shall I see you again
