You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girls still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your kentucky girls been waiting patiently
Why not me?

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when youre growin old?
Why not me?

You've been searchin' from here to singapore
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
Why not me?
You had to see if the world was round
Its time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
Why not me?

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girls still free?

1. I got just as lonesome as a man can be, Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=n43UZJ0TVIs

Along about eighteen twenty-five,
I left Tennessee very much alive.
I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee Stud.
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa,
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw.
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Bud,
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
The color of the sun, and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood,
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud.
One day I was riding in a beautiful land
I run smack into an Indian band
They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell
And away we rode like a bat out of hell.
I circled their camp for a time or two,
Just to show what a Tennessee horse can do.
The redskin boys couldn't get my blood,
'Cause I was a-riding on the Tennessee Stud.

We drifted on down into no man's land,
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande.
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold.

Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree,
We got in a fight over Tennessee.
We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud,
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud.

I got just as lonesome as a man can be,
Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a-dreamin' of a sweetheart, too,

We loped right back across Arkansas;
I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa.
I found that girl with the golden hair,
And she was a-riding on the Tennessee Mare.

Stirrup to stirrup and side by side,
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide.
We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud.

A pretty little baby on the cabin floor,
A little horse colt playing 'round the door,
I love that girl with the golden hair,
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.

2. Its our reflection in a little pool of water

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXTnYCg8v8o

Always alone never with a herd
Prettiest mare Ive ever seen
You'll have to take my word

I'm gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand

Well I was up on stony ridge after this chestnut mare
I'd been chasin' her for weeks
Oh, Id catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
Takin' her meal, or bathin'
A fine lady

This one day I happened to be real close to her
I saw her standin over there
So I snuck up to her nice and easy
And I got my rope out
And I flung it in the air

I'm gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
I'm gonna catch that horse if I can

Well I got her, and Im pullin on her, shes pullin' back
Like a mule goin' up a ladder
I take this chance and I jump up on her
Damned if I don't land right on top of her
Well she takes off, runnin' up on to that ridge
Higher than Ive ever been before
Shes runnin' along just fine, till she stops
Something spooked her
Its a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
She doesn't know what to do for a second
But then she jumps off the edge
Me holding on

Above the clouds
Higher than eagles were gliding
Suspended in the sky

Over the moon
Straight for the sun we were riding
My eyes were filled with light

Behind us black walls
Below us a bottomless canyon
Floating with no sound

Gulls far below
Seemed to be suddenly rising
Exploding all around

I'm gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
I'm gonna catch that horse if I can

And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down
Id say! I look down and I see this red thing below us
Its our reflection in a little pool of water
About six feet wide, and one foot deep
And were comin' up real fast
Crawling down right through it
We hit and we splashed it dry
Thats when I lost my hold and she got away
But I'm gonna try to get her again some day

I'm gonna catch that horse if I can
And when I do Ill give her my brand
And well be friends for life
Shell be just like a wife
I'm gonna catch that horse
I'm gonna catch that horse
I'm gonna catch that horse if I can
I'm gonna catch that horse if I can

3. Chelsea Morning

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cPBJoIHNoFM

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I heard
Was the song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringin' up like Christmas bells
And rappin' up like pipes... and drums...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'til the night comes

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Red, green and gold to welcome you
And crimson crystal beads... to beckon...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun shower every second

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my se...enses...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses

8. yeah..got a thing about neils in the family

mother loves diamond, i leaned towards young

http://youtube.com/watch?v=u_66g8T_ibQ


Think Ill pack it in and buy a pick-up
Take it down to l.a.
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.

The woman Im thinking of, she loved me all up
But Im so down today
Shes so fine, shes in my mind.
I hear her callin.

See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Cant relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Cant begin to say.

She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now Im running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.

The woman Im thinking of, she loved me all up
But Im so down today
Shes so fine shes in my mind.
I hear her callin.

See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Cant relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Cant begin to say.

9. "I Scare Myself"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kiERMbv4AMs

I scare myself
just thinking about you
I scare myself
when I'm without you
I scare myself
the moments that you're gone
I scare myself
when I let my thoughts run

and when they're runnin'
I keep thinking of you
and when they're runnin'
what can I do?

I scare myself
and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself
it can get frightenin'
I scare myself
to think what I could do
I scare myself
it's some kinda voodoo

and with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
and with that voodoo
what can I do?

but it's oh so, so, so different
when we're together
and I'm oh so so much calmer, I feel better
for the stars have crossed our paths forever
and the sooner that you realize it, the better

then I'll be with you
and I won't scare myself
and I'll know what to do
and I won't scare myself
and then I'll think of you
and I won't scare myself
and then my thoughts'll run
and I won't scare myself

then I'll be with you
and I won't scare myself
and I'll know what to do
and I won't scare myself
and I'll think of you
and I won't scare myself
and my thoughts will run
and I won't scare myself...
