Sail Away
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sailed away with me
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
I see a lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride

There
Must Be Something About Me That She Loves
Oh I know that you're wonderin' what she ever saw in me
There must be something about me that she loves
I ain't pretty, I ain't witty, and Lord knows my kind come free
There must be something about me that she loves
There must be something about me that she loves
There must be something about me that she loves (that she loves)
I can tell the way she's smilin' when we're walking hand in hand
There must be something about me that she loves
I can't fathom why she's always here when I come home at night
There must be something about me that she loves
In the hard times in the tired times Lord knows she treats me right
There must be something about me that she loves

Sometimes The Rain Won't Let Me
Sleep
You always loved the rain you said it made your flowers grow
Your roses bloomed where others died they loved you I supposed
And it rained all night the first time you gave your love to me
Now sometimes the rain won't let me sleep
Sometimes the rain won't let me sleep
Cause each teardrop from heaven brings flooding memories
I can make it through the sunshine pretending you're with me
But sometimes the rain won't let me sleep
You never were as strong as your love was for me
And the night you traded life for life it rained inside of me
And how I love our little boy you trusted me to keep
Ah but sometimes the rain won't let me sleep

I Gotta Get Over This
I gotta get over this, this hurt is lasting much too long
I gotta get over this, get back on the track where I belong
I gotta get over this, this hurt is lasting much too long
I gotta get over this, get back on the track where I belong
You said we were through and I said that I knew this was coming on
I saw it in your eyes that look you can't disguise I've known you much too
long
We thought we'd try to leave it with a smile casue bitter teardrops
Just ain't our style
You've been gone sometime but this feeling in my mind still seems to beat
me down
Now's the time to fill this empty in my heart I'm tired of hangin' 'round
I know our love will never be the same
I've got to pull my head out of this foolish game

My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me
Yeah!
My radi-i-o-i-o-i-o, my radi-i-o-i-o, yeah
My radi-i-o-i-o-i-o, my radi-i-o-i-o, yeah
My radi-i-o sure sounds good to me
My radi-i-o sure sounds good to me
Oh when I wake up in the morning the very first thing that I do
I turn on the radio and I listen to Y - O - U

Dream On
Lay your head down on my shoulder
I won't let the night get colder
I'll protect you, I'll be keepin'
Trouble far from where you're sleepin'
Until you wake in the mornin'
You've got the world to yourself
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven I'll be here to light your way
Someday tomorrow we'll smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
You're a princess chains around you
I'm a hero who just found you
'Til a brand new day must wake you
Let imagination take you
Go where the music is playing
I'll be along in awhile

Leaving Louisiana In The Broad
Daylight
Mary took to running with a travelin' man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She said mom I got to go gotta get outta here
Gotta get out of town tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around nobody knows but the highway goes on forever
That ol' highway rolls on forever
Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelin' man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
She said daughter let me tell you 'bout the travelin' kind
Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
He'll be long gone before you know it
She said never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
There ain't no time for lengthy speeches

Every Now And Then
When we needed help the most we
found each other
And without you I don't know where I'd have been
We have soothed each others quiet desperations
And loved each other every now and then
We have made each other laugh like happy children
You have sometimes felt my teardrops on your hand
And when we can't control our lonely feelings
We love each other every now and then
We're a little less than lovers but a little more than friends
Clinging to each other until the darkness ends
We have held each other time and time again
And loved each other every now and then
Someday I'll find the one who's meant for me
And I know that someday you'll find love again
But we'll always have the very special memory
Of the love we gave each other every now and then

Dig A Little Deeper In The Well
Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
My daddy used to tell me don't be fooled by what you see
If you want to get to the heart of things you gotta look way down deep
Second place don't get it son, a winner's gotta come in first
There's nothin' worse than to take a drink that leaves you with a thirst
A good man needs a good woman she's a rock that'll make him strong
Now she'll be there to lean on when the whole world's done him wrong
Ain't nothin' like good lovin' that's how it's meant to be
So find yourself a good woman son, like your mama's been to me
There's a mighty river flowin' where the water's cool and sweet
Don't be fooled by a muddy stream be careful where you drink
Life is what you make it sometimes it's a living hell
If you want find that promised land dig a little deeper in the well

Dancing The Night Away
Standing beside of the ocean
Looking out across the water
Everything is beautiful here
But I still don't feel like I oughta
Things we wanted
Not so long ago
I got'em all now, baby
But I ain't got you no more, but I remember
The way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancin' the night away
I remember everything
Dresses you used to wear
You were so light and graceful
You seem to float right through the air
Me I looked so funny dancin'
But you loved me anyhow
Aw, I wish I could find somebody
That would love me like that now, but I remember
Standing beside of the ocean
Looking out across the bay
I should look for companionship
But it just gets in my way
Lights are flickerin'
All along the shore
I see people dancin' there
But I just don't dance no more, because I remember
