A House With No Curtains
Album: Everything I Love
We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part
Oh so well....
But everyone knows
It's just a sad show
And we're only, foolin ourselves
It's like living....in, a house with no curtains
The whole world, can see what's inside
You can turn...out~ the lights, in a house with no curtains
But the heartache, has nowhere to hide
We could pack up and leave, in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows
It's like living in, a house with no curtains
The whole world, can see what's inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtainsBut the heartache has nowhere to hide
You can turn out the lights
In a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
Daddy won a radio
Tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries 'cause she never thought
I'd ever really take it this far
Singing in the bars and
Chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is too pick this guitar and singJust trying to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
An atlas and a coffee cup
Five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Heading down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killing me
Half the time I sing for freeBut when the crowd's into it
Lord it makes this thing I doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight
Chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is too pick this guitar and sing
Just trying to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seenChasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
Daddy's got a radio
He won it thrity years ago
He said 'Son I just now we're gonna hear you singing on it someday'
I made it up to Music Row Lordy don't the wheels turn slow
But I wouldn't trade a minute I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
I'm chasin' the neon rainbow

Dallas
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of Texas
When she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me...
Couldn't take Texas out of her
(Chorus)
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with meThen nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee.......
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground(Chorus)
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

Home
In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Music til she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name
But they believe the one you vow to love
Should always stay that same
And on the land his daddy gave him, a foundation under way
For a love to last forever or until their dying day
They built a bond that's strong enough to stand the test of time
And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind
And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled down on two logsAnd they built walls all around it And they made that house a home
They taught us 'boutgood living They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place In this world I'll call home
My momma raised five children, four girls, then there was me
She found her strength with faith in God and love of family
She never had a social life, home was all she knew
Except the time she took a job, to pay a bill or two
My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars that he repaired
He never earned much money but he gave us all he hadHe never made the front page but he did the best he could
And folks drove their cars from miles around to let him look underneath the hood
And they made their house from a toolshed Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it and they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place in this world I'll call home
No, there'll never be another place in this world that I'll call home

I'll Try
Here we are....Talkin' bout forever
Both know damn well
It's not easy together
We've both felt love....We've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine
Over the rain
(chorus 1)
And I'll try To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true ....Oh darlin', I'll try
So I'm not scared...It's worth a chance to me
Take my hand..Let's face eternity
Well I can't tell you...That I'll never change
But I can swear That in every way (chorus 1)
I'm not perfect Just another man
But I will give you (chorus 1)
All that I am
I'll tryTo be true to you
I'll try......I'll try
To always love you
I'll try

Love's Got A Hold On You
I called my doctor on the telephone
Help me Doc there's something wrong
I can't shake it it's gone too far
He said tell me what your symptoms are
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
I told my buddies I was settlin' down
No more of this running 'roundThey looked at me like I was a fool
And said come on tell us what's wrong with you
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
Well I tossed and turned til the morning lightHolding my pillow hanging on for life
There ain't nothing I can do....
They said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on you
My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on youSounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you

Midnight In Montgomery
Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down
Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
He said 'Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care'
Then the wind picked up and he was gone
Was he ever really there
'Cause it's midnight in MontgomeryJust hear that whipporwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
Well, I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around
Through red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the groundAnd off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
I could hear that whistle moaning
I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whipporwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the airMidnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
He's always singing there
Oh Hank's always singing there

Shes Gone Country
She's been playin' in a room on the Strip
For ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror
And she only ages
She's been readin' about Nashville and all
The records that everybody's buyin'
Says 'I'm a simple girl myself
Grew up on Long Island'
So she packs her bags to try to her hand
Says this might be my last chance
She's gone country, look at them bootsShe's gone country, back to her roots
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
She's gone country, here she comes
Well the folk scene is dead
But he's holdin' out in the village
He's been writin' songs speakin' out
Against wealth and privilege
He says 'I dont believe in money
But a man could make him a killin''Cause some of that stuff don't sound
Much different than Dylan
I hear down there it's changed you see
They're not as backward as they used to be
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, back to his roots
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
He's gone country, here he comes
Well, he commutes to LA
But he's got a house in the valley
But the bills are pilin' up
And the pop scene just ain't on the rally
And he says 'Honey I'm a serious composer
Schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days
This ain't no place for children
Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long
Be back in the money in no time at all'

He's gone country, look at them boots

He's gone country, here he comes
Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk
He's gone country, a new kind of talk
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, oh back to his roots
He's gone country
He's gone country
Everybody's gone country
Yeah we've gone country
The whole world's gone country

SOMEDAY
She looked me in the eye and said its over
I cant take this heartache anymore
She said dont tell me lies and try to please me
Ive heard it all so many time before
And I took her by the arm and said dont leave me
Theres nothin in this world I wouldnt do
Just give me time Ill be the man youve needed
She said I wish that I could take that for the truth
Reff
And I said someday
Ill get my life straightAnd she said its too late
What done is done
And I told her someday
She said I cant wait
cause sometimes someday just never comes
She said all Ive ever wanted was to love u
And somewhere deep inside me I still do
But now I think its time to stopped believin
cause Im never gonna see a change in u
Oh sometimes, someday just never comes....

Livin' On Love
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin on love
She dont care 'bout whats in style
She just likes the wayhe smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhymeLivin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin on loveHe cant see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Just livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
No it doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

I Don't Even Know Your Name
Well I was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41
You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done
I konw you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth
Of course you weren't my waitress mine was missing her front tooth
So I flagged you down for coffee
But I couldn't say a thing
But I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name
I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name
I've never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way
I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name
So I ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot
I asked you for a date and then I asked to tie the knot
I got a little wasted, yeah I went a little far
But I finally got to hug you when you helped me to my car
The last thing I remember I heard myself say
I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name
I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name
I've never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe it's just better if we leave it this wayI'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name
The next thing I remember, I was hearing wedding bells
Standing by a woman in a long white lacy veil
I raised the veil, she smiled at me without her left front tooth
And I said 'Where the heel am I and just who the hell are you?'
She said 'I was your waitress and our last name's now the same'
'Cause I;m married to you baby and I don't even know your name
I'm married to a waitress, I don't even know her nameI've never been to good at all these sexual games
I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way
Hey I'm married to a waitress and I don't even know her name

Summertime Blues Lyrics
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom 'n' papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well I called my congressman and he said quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollarSometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
No there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Another Good Reason
I woke up the other night
Lying on the floor
Right beside someone
I've never seen before
She said my name's Juliet And Romeo you ain't
Thats another good reason not to drink
Thats another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
Thats another good reason not to drink
I cant go see my best friend
He said stay away
Just because of what I said
On his wedding day
He oughta call a sherman
Cause she looks just like a tank
Thats another good reason not to drink
Thats another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saintIf I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
Thats another good reason not to drink
I'm gonna sue to city
About that policeman
Last night as I left the bar
He stepped right on my hand .....
He said 'Are you drunk or blind?'
I said 'Let me think'.Thats another good reason not to drink
Thats another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
Thats another good reason not to drink
Thats another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saintIf I keep going on like this

She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)
This old bar stools feeling higher
As a started sinking lower
The minute that she waltzed right through that door
Not long ago I held her
Like a fool I went and left her
Now she's with somebody else out on that floor
And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
And she's showing me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the blues
Well that music's gettin' louderAs my heart keeps beatin' faster
As she spells out regret in perfect time
Well I thought I wanted freedom
But that ball and chain I needed
'Cause when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize
And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
And she's showing me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the bluesWith her every little move she's telling me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

Chattahoochee
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught
Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love
Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready
So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone
Dropped her off early but I didn't go home
Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minuteYeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Don't Close Your Eyes Lyrics
Songwriters: MCDILL, BOB
I know you loved him, along time ago
And even now in my arms, you still want him I know
But darlin' this time let your mem'ries die
When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool, holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday.....that you'll see the light~~
Let it be tonight, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonightAnd don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
And don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight when you love me tonightAnd don't close your eyes...

Everything I love
Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep
And when I drink too much then I can't eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killing me
Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me
I guess I made a big mistake
Thinkin' you're a habit I can breakWell, I'm addicted to you now I see
Everything I love is killing me
Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me

Its Time You learned about goodbye
Well I've been on the wrong side
Of the front door too often
Watched you slam it in my face
Well I may have learned the hard way
I'm not a soft one
Tonight I'm standin in your place
Cause you taught me a lot about leavin
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin
And a chance for you to cry
Cause it's time you learned about goodbye
I've stood behind you
And I've laid beside you
But I won't do that anymore
Cause I'm tired of bein
Just here when you want me
Tonight I'm walkin out that door
Cause you taught me a lot about leavin
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievinAnd a chance for you to cry
Cause it's time you learned about goodbye
It's time you learned about goodbye

Bring on the Night
It's twilight and the streets Light, are coming onI'm in a stream of cars
On this Boulevard, headed home
I can hardly wait
You can make what went wrong today ..Seam right
It's been a long hard day
So bring on the night
Bring on the night...
And pull down the shades
Lock the world out sideAnd throw the key away
Turn on the feelings
And turn out the lights
Lets call it a day
And bring on the night
From 9 to 5 ...it's the same ole grind
All weeklong
And the only thing
That keeps sane, is coming homeWhen the sun goes down
You know how to set things right
Lets put the day behind us
And bring on the night
Bring on the night
And pull down the shades
Lock the world out side
And throw the key away
Turn on the feelingsAnd turn out the lights
Lets call it a day
And bring on the night
Lets call it a day
And bring on the night

"When Somebody Loves You"
When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so longWhen it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
When it's late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves youThe way I love you
So let's put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree we're just no good
At bein' on our own
'Cause when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
The way I love you

"Don't Rock The Jukebox"
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling StonesI don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonelyEver since she left
Before you punch that number
Could I make one request
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's goneSo don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
I ain't got nothin'
Against rock & roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
Ain't nothin' like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money babyPlay a song for me
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear George Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

"Little Bitty"
Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
A little bitty dog and a little bitty car.
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while.
A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
A big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look.
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while.
(Yeeeaaahhhh)
You know you got a job and a little bitty check
A six pack of beer and television setLittle bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence and a little bit of sound.
A good ole boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
Little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It's all part of a little bitty scheme.
It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old cityMight as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while.
It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while.
(Whoooo)...

"In The Garden"
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God disclosesAnd He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'd stay in the garden with Him
'Tho the night around me is falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is callingAnd He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
To let them drive my old Jeep across a pasture in our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memoryAnd think of me and smile, and say
Just an old worn-out Jeep
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, turn it left and steer it right
Straighten up girl now you're doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When Daddy let me drive
When Daddy let me drive
Oh he let me drive
Daddy let me drive
It's just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

"So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore"
Ill be the bad guy,
Ill take the black eye,
When I walk out,
You can slam the door,
Ill be the S.O.B,
If thats what you need fromme,
So you dont have to love me anymore.
When you and our friends talk,
Make it all my fault,
Tell em Im rotten to the core,
Ill let it all slide,
Get em all on your side,So you dont have to love me anymore.
I will keep,
All those memories, of the good times.
Yeah, there were some good times.
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They wont even cross your mind.
If the wine youre drinkin,Leads you to thinkin,
That you want what we had before,
Girl you can call me,
Ill let it ring and ring,
So you dont have to love me anymore.
Yeah, I will keep,
All those memories, of the good times.
Yeah, there were some good times.
So when you think,Of you and me,
They wont even cross your mind.
If you need me to make you cry,
I dont want to but Ill try,
So you dont have to love me anymore.

Tropical Depression Lyrics
Now here I sit on the beach
Watching the tide ebb and flow
I booked my room for a week
But now I'm ready to go
I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away
This should be paradise
Heaven down by the sea
Without you here by my side
It feels like hell to me
I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoesThis forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away
