El Paso 02:36
C Em El Paso I love you F C Though I've never been there C Em El Paso it's true F G Guess what I just don't care Am C You sound like a fun time F C Like a girl with a smile Am You can have my last dime F G And my heart for a while C Em El Paso I love you F C Like a sailor loves the sea C El Paso show me how to Be a man who's really free You sound like an old friend And a night on the town Like the rules we will bend When no one's around El Paso I love you Like the memory of a dream El Paso I love you Like the coolness of a stream You look like the fire That's missing from my life Like the curves I admire On someone else's wife

I live in occupied northern Mexico I live in a land that was stolen decades ago They want to build a wall They're afraid their empire might fall I live in a land where love just won't grow She comes from a land where people don't say no Her daddy drives a truck from Shreveport to Amarillo She don't talk in a Southern drawl She's got no friends at City Hall She lives in a land where love can glow She takes me in her arms at night She says all the words that feel so right Feel so right Moved South of the border, to Durango We live in a small house, we live, low and slow We sit outside and watch our kids kick a ball We sit outside with not a care, for it all

Laundromat 02:27
she and i sat in the laundromat we stayed a while but no one smiled They're looking for change We're looking for strange They all look down In this part of town She said to me it wouldn't be wrong if you forgot me I could be on the tip of your tongue She and I sat Like an acrobat Walkin' a tight rope His heart full of hope Looking for lust In this city of dust Looking for trouble To come burst our bubble She said to me it wouldn't be wrong if you forgot me I could be on the tip of your tongue The sun is rising It's so surprising We stayed up all night Doing it right She and I parted Not broken hearted For tonight she'll belong On the tip of my tongue.

My Gal 03:08
I met my gal when I was 8. I first held her hand on our first date I married her when I was 22 She's the one for me like I'm the one for you I first met you when I was 38 Sorry to say, but that's a little too late I love her just as much as when I was 22 She's the one for me like I'm the one for you You say we can live for the islands tonight You say you know how to make it all feel all right You say we can be there tomorrow at first light But she's the one I wanna hold tight One night with you and I'll forget about fate One night with you and I'll forget my soul mate One night with you and I'll never feel blue She's the one for me like I'm the one for you

Train Man 02:40
Am C They call him a hobo F E But he's more of a train man Guitar in tow He's working on his master plan C G Hitching a ride across the south F E They know he's coming from word of mouth They'll buy him a shot or two He'll play his guitar and they'll dance and they'll scream They won't feel so blue They'll forget they're not living the dream Am - C - F - E x2 C G Hitching a ride across the south F E They know he's coming from word of mouth Am C They call him a hobo F E But he's more of a train man Working his mojo The hellhounds are barking as loud as they can C G They say he traded his soul The Devil's waiting for him down a dark, dark hole

Am C There's words you say when you're at home Am C There's words you say when you're all alone F Am G There's words you say when you hang up the phone There's thoughts you have when no one's there There's thoughts you'd never dream to share There's thoughts you hide 'cause no one will care C And through it all you still believe That the day won't come when she will leave As she did last xmas eve And through it all you have to know That she'll be strong and just say no When that guy asks her to go There's fears you have when you don't drink There's fears you have when you start to think There's fears you have when you're standing on the brink

I Can't Help 03:29
C G And I can't help but think, Am F What would Waylon do? Would he pour you another drink? Would he write a song for you? Oh I can't help but wonder, What would Johnny do? Would he let you buckle under? Would he help you break through? Em - Am - Am - Em I can't help but worry, What would Willie do? Would he tell you a story, Eyes in the rain, so blue? I can't help but question What would Old Kris do? Would he talk about depression? Would he share his point of view? There's wisdom in them all songs, There's love in there too. And if you can't right all your wrongs, At least you know that I love you.

Again 02:58
Life is calm and life is peaceful Lying there on the ground Life is funny and wistful As I listen to every sound As I smile and feel I no longer look for shelter I no longer need a roof I'm at peace with mother nature No longer need the proof That god is real Em G And as I look up at a star C Shining so bright from afar D No matter where we are I think about my life of sin I think about the peace within I think about falling in love... again I no longer look for gold I no longer need for things Got no story to be told Don't care what tomorrow brings If we can love, we can heal

She ain't the kind you bring to mama No, she ain't the kind you bring to church She ain't the kind to bring good karma She's more likely to leave you in a lurch But she does things to you when no one's looking And sometimes when they are Some people claim that she might be hookin' But that's just jealousy tainting a shooting star She whispers in your ear 'cause she likes your shivers And she likes your giggles too Well in life there's takers and there's givers And she'll play either one for you She's not the kind to just cuddle on the couch in the kitchen While you gently rub her head She'd rather wear high hells that she calls bitchin' And ride you all night long instead
10.
She smiles at me in the dead of night I wanna hold her with all my might But I know she's not real She comes to me when I'm, all alone She comes to me from parts unknown But I know she's not real C G But I need her to be Em I need her here with me Am D I need her to see C D G That we can set each other free She says it's love gone wrong I say it's love gone strong She says it can't be real She is promised to another one She says her life she can't outrun Her life she can't "unreal"
