1. PARADISE

(John Prine)

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

When I die let my ashes float down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waiting
Just five miles away from wherever I am

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away


2. NEVER ENDING SONG OF LOVE

(Bonnie Bramlett, Delaney Bramlett)

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you, yeah

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Live for each other from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you
I've got a never ending love for you

3. GARDEN PARTY
(Rick Nelson)

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
And over in the corner much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said, hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky tonk it was time to leave

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang I'd rather drive a truck

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself


4. I DON'T CARE (just as long as you love me)

(Buck Owens)

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if the bells don't chime just as long as you love me
And I don't care if the tops don't spin
I don't care if the jinns won't gin just as long as you love me

So darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north wind blow just as long as you love me
North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test just as long as you love me

Well, I don't care if the birds don't sing
I don't care if the bells don't ring just as long as you love me
And I don't care if the world don't turn
I don't care if the fire don't burn just as long as you love me

So darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north wind blow just as long as you love me
North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test just as long as you love me, alright


5. BACK HOME AGAIN

(John Denver)

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
The whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on your road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burnin', supper's on the stove
But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes and hey, it's good to be back home again

There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time?
What's the latest thing the neighbors say?
And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes and hey, it's good to be back home again

But the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that livin' with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burnin', supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that makes me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes and hey, it's good to be back home again

Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Hey, it's good to be back home again
I said hey, it's good to be back home again


6. I'LL BE THERE (if you ever want me)
(Ray Price, Rusty Gabbard)

There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
Now there ain't no rope strong enough to bind me

Look for me, honey you will find me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

Well, there ain't no jail tight enough to lock me

There ain't nobody big enough to stop me
I never have seen a road too rough to ride
I'll be there ready and a waitin'
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side.

So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a road too rough to ride
I'll be there ready and a waitin'

There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side


7. CHANGE IN THE WEATHER

Aaah!

[Chorus:]
Change in the weather, change in the weather,
Somethin's happenin' here.
Change in the weather, change in the weather,
People walkin' round in fear.

Uh huh, you better duck and run,
Get under cover 'cause the change has come.
Storm warning, and it looks like rain,
Be nothin' left after the hurricance.
This here's a jungle, ain't no lie,
Look at the people, terror in their eyes.
Bad business comin', can't be denied,
They're running with the dogs, afraid to die.

[Chorus]

Uh huh, you best believe it's true,
The levee's busted, badness comin' through.
Oh no, there ain't no place to hide,
Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride.
Sea of frustration, take everything in sight,
Won't be no blessing if we make it through the night.
Down on your knees, go ahead and pray,
But every demon has to have his day.

[Chorus]

Well! Oh, God!

High noon, I can't believe my eyes,
Wind is ragin', there's a fire in the sky.
Ground shakin', everything comin' loose,
Run like a coward but it ain't no use.
Edge of the river, it's an ugly scene,
People gettin' pushed, people gettin' mean.
The change is comin' and it's gettin' late,
Ain't no survivin', and there ain't no escape.

[Chorus]
Oh!
[Chorus]
Well! Oh, no!

8. MOODY RIVER

(Gary Daniel Price)

[Chorus:]
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life

Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me
It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free"
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin.
I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"

[Chorus]

I looked into the muddy water and what could I see?
I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips

[Chorus]

9. HEAVEN'S JUST A SIN AWAY

(Jerry Gillespie)

Heaven's just a sin away, oh, oh, just a sin away
I can't wait another day, I think I'm giving in
How I love to hold you tight, oh, oh, be with you tonight
That still won't make it right 'cause you belong to him

Oh, way down deep inside I know that it's all wrong
Your eyes keep tempting me and I never was that strong

Devil's got me now, oh, oh, gone and got me now
I can't fight him anyhow, I think he's gonna win
Heaven's just a sin away, oh, oh, just a sin away
Heaven help me when I say I think I'm giving in

Oh, way down deep inside I know that it's all wrong
Your eyes keep tempting me and I never was that strong

Devil's got me now, oh, oh, gone and got me now
I can't fight him anyhow, I think he's gonna win
Heaven's just a sin away, oh, oh, just a sin away
Heaven help me when I say I think I'm giving in

Heaven's just a sin away, oh, oh, just a sin away
I can't wait another day, I think I'm giving in
How I love to hold you tight, oh, oh, be with you tonight
That still won't make it right 'cause you belong to him

10. FALLIN' FALLIN' FALLIN'

(Bud Deckleman, Glenn Gould, J.D. Miller)

My heart is breakin' darlin' and many tears are fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin' just for you
My eyes are burnin' darlin' while my heart is sad and yearnin'
Yearnin', yearnin', burnin' just for you

Oh, you didn't have to go and leave me all alone
I'm sure you think that breakin' hearts is fun
But someday you may find out when your new love is gone
That deep down in your heart I'm still the one

I need you with me darlin', always with me darlin'
Need you, need you, need you, I'm so blue
Oh, hear my callin' darlin' and stop these tears from fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin' just for you, yeah

My heart is breakin' darlin' and many tears are fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin' just for you
My eyes are burnin' darlin' while my heart is sad and yearnin'
Yearnin', yearnin', burnin' just for you

Well, you didn't have to go and leave me all alone
I'm sure you think that breakin' hearts is fun
But someday you may find out when your new love is gone
That deep down in your heart I'm still the one

I need you with me darlin', always with me darlin'
Need you, need you, need you, I'm so blue
Oh, hear my callin' darlin' and stop these tears from fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin' just for you, yeah


11. HAUNTED HOUSE

(Robert L. Geddins)

I just moved in my new house today
Moving was hot but I got squared away
When bells started ringing and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house

Still I made up my mind to stay
Nothing was a gonna drive me away
When I seen something that gave me the creep
Had a one big eye and two big feet

I stood right still and I did the freeze
The thing came strolling up to me
Made a noise with the feet sound like a drum
Saying don't be here when the morning comes

Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no hate gonna run me off

In the kitchen my stove was a blazing hot
The coffee was a boiling in the pot
The grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat right in my hand

From out of space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans
Say that's hot, I began to shout
He drank a hot coffee right from the spout

He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the frying pan
He said to me, well you better run
And don't be here when the morning comes

Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no hate gonna run me off


12. WHEN WILL I BE LOVED

(Phil Everly)

I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
I've been pushed down, I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved?

When I find a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

I've been made blue, I've been lied to
When will I be loved?

Oh man, I just wanna know when
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

When I find a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time, oh whoa

I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?
