LYRICS
WANTED MAN
Guess I never mentioned I’m a Wanted Man
Two days out of Texas and I’m on the lamb
Doin’ all I can – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Guess I never mentioned that I’m on the run
Lovin’ too hard to be your only one
Why can’t you understand – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Baby, don’t try to find out why I’m rockin’ in an outlaw band
Nowhere to hide – ready to ride – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Bet you never noticed that I’m in too deep
Way too many promises I just can’t keep
All across this land – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Bet I never mentioned I just can’t be true
All these lovin’ women – babe, it’s not just you
Won’t you understand – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Baby, don’t cry I don’t know why I’m rockin’ in an outlaw band
Hired gun – ready to run – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Guess I never mentioned I’m a Wanted Man
Runnin’ from your lovin’ since it all began
Why can’t you understand – baby, I’m a Wanted Man
Bet they’ll never catch me while I’m on the run
Lovin’ too hard to be your only one
You’ll never understand – that I’m a Wanted Man
Baby, don’t cry I don’t know why I’m rockin’ in an outlaw band
Nowhere to hide – ready to hide – baby, I’m a wanted man
A Wanted Man – Wanted Man – baby, I’m a Wanted Man

Haunted by those eyes so blue

He Was A Good Man
03:53
|

LYRICS
HE WAS A GOOD MAN
He was a Good Man honest and true
Livin’ hard along the Texas range
Yes, a Good Man doin’ all that he knew
Workin’ for a better day
She was a Good Gal
In love with the man she called her very own
Just a new bride in that west Texas land
Never meant be alone
He was a Bad Man wanted dead or alive
Chased across the Texas plain
Through the Badlands desperate to survive
Ridin’ hard to getaway
When that Bad Man stole the lady away
Said, I’m takin’ you for my own
But that Good Man drew his side arm and said
“You better leave my woman alone”
Standin’ by her side fightin’ for his bride
Fearless as the western wind
Good can win the day love will find a way
He’s a Good Man to the end
Now that Bad Man drew his Colt 45
Unloaded a barrage of flame
But that Good Man stared him straight in the eye
And returned his fire with deadly aim
As that Bad Man fell to the ground
A single shot had found its home
But that Good Man lay dyin’ in the dust
Told you, "Leave my woman alone"
Fightin’ for his bride dyin’ by her side
Fearless as the western wind
A Good Man’s lost love will pay the cost
He’s a Good Man to the end
He was a Good Man true to the last
Her hero bold and brave
Yes, a Good Man on the west Texas flats
Where they laid him in his Texas grave
And she’s a Good Gal still in love with the man
Livin’ in their Texas home
She’s on her own now in that west Texas land
Forever more to be alone
He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man

LYRICS
CARRY ON
Carry on, my son, she told me
Carry on, someday, and you’ll see
Carry on, my son – just turn and follow me
One night my soul was fadin’ so lost, and so alone
I saw a sight like none I’d ever known
And there she stood, just smilin’ a vision, to my eyes
I turned around and much to my surprise
Carry on, my son, she told me
Carry on, yes, the legend’s true
Carry on, you’ll find – a miracle is comin’ through
Her voice so soft and soothing her spirit took control
And all at once a new hope filled my soul
And now lookin’ back, I see her that vision is ever near
And her voice keeps callin’ out so loud and clear
Carry on, my son
Carry on, the truth will set you free
Carry on, my son, just turn and follow me
Carry on, my son, she told me
Carry on, someday, and you’ll see
Carry on – her voice keeps callin’ me
Yeah, carry on, my son
Carry on, someday, and you’ll see
Carry on, my boy – just turn and follow me
Turn around (mmm) carry on (mmm)
Carry on, my son, turn and follow me
Yeah, turn around – turn around
Carry on, my boy, just come and follow me
Turn around (turn around) – carry on (carry on)
Carry on (mmm) – carry on
Just turn around (turn around)
Carry on (carry on) – carry on (mmm) – carry on
Oh, turn around (turn around)
Carry on (carry on) – carry on (mmm) – carry on

Nobody Gets Out Alive

LYRICS
NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE
Been a long time – since you come around, baby
Nothin’ much left – they finally “made” me
Nowhere to hide – I guess – nobody gets out alive
Lookin’ back now – all the times I loved you
Don’t mean a thing – couldn’t get enough of you
Nothin’ left to say – nobody gets out alive
Always on the run – never thought I’d see the day
Always out-gunned – all my time – runnin’ away – won’t you stay
Such a long time – since you loved me, baby
Everyone says – now the law’s re-paid me
Nowhere to hide – I guess – nobody gets out alive
Headin’ there soon – down a door I’m hatin’
Cold black room with a chair awaitin’
Guess I always knew – nobody gets out alive
When you look back, Babe – always remember
Nothin’ ever lasts – return to sender
Now everybody knows – nobody gets out alive
I’ve done my time – I never knew it ended this way
I never believed – I’d ever hear the preacher pray – and he’d say
(Spoken): You’re gonna have to pay, boy!
Headin’ there now – no more hesitatin’
Cold black room – with a chair awaitin’
They’re takin’ me away – nobody gets out alive
Such a long time – since I held you, baby
Everybody knows – now – the law’s re-paid me
Nowhere to run – nobody gets out alive
I done my time – now – I never knew it ended this way
No, I never believed – we’d ever see it end this way
I’m sayin’ goodbye – nobody gets out alive
Baby, goodbye – nobody gets out alive

LYRICS
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
Early Sunday mornin’
As the train rolled into town
I thought of how – you left me last
That distant day – in the distant past
You left me stranded – a shell – of who I’d been
And standin’ at the station
Just your notice – in my hand
I thought on back – to long ago
When you were mine – and we were so
In love – together once – makin’ all those plans
But you – never knew – what I knew
That true love – never ends
With you – love – just depends
Ya just walked away – leavin’ me alone – once again
Early Monday mornin’
As that train rolled out of town
I came for you – but you had gone
When love is lost – the hurt lives on
And both hearts lose – when love has – finally gone
And lookin’ back – I remember
All those words – I just – couldn’t say
The days get short – the nights get long
What’s right is right – what’s wrong is wrong
I still can’t believe that you’d leave – and just – walk away
But you – never knew – what I knew
That true love – never ends
With you – love – just depends
Ya just walked away – leavin’ me alone – once again
No, you’ll – never know – what I know
That true love – never ends
Broken hearts – never win
Only true love lasts – forever – ‘til the end

ISLAND NIGHTS
Kissin’ – island kissin’
You in my arms lost in the charms of your smile
Wishin’ – reminiscin’
Moonlit nights soft island lights in your eyes
I’m missin’ – our Island Kissin’
Aloha nights our hearts takin’ flight until dawn
Listen – my ambition
To hold you again rememberin’ when you were mine

Our hearts together all night
And someday soon

You’ll turn and hold me tight

Our hearts took a chance
For endless romancin’ it’s true (with you)
So listen – my premonition
I’ll hold you again never pretendin’ with you

Soft moonlight’s never endin’
Island romancin’ midnight dancin’ with you (yes, it’s true)

And you were mine
Our hearts together all night
And someday again you’ll remember when
And turn and hold me tight
Kissin’ – island kissin’
You in my arms lost in the charms of your smile

LYRICS
CAN'T QUIT HER
I can’t quit now – Lord, I’m fadin’ away
Lady keeps a-callin’ night and day
Chasin’ me around I’m in such a bad way
But I just can’t quit her
No! I Can’t stop now – Lord, I’m fadin’ fast
Lady still a-callin’ I just can’t last
Whatever she’s a-wantin’ brother don’t ask!
I just can’t quit her
Met her on a Tuesday – lookin' so fine
Married on a Wednesday – made her mine
Haven’t felt free in such a long time
But I just can’t quit her
Turn around once – turn around twice
Lord, I’m payin’ the price
Seems so sad when the lovin’ so nice
Oooh! – sugar ‘n spice
Leavin’ here soon – nothin’ more to say
Lordy, if you’re listenin’ come ‘n drag me away
I oughta be a prayin’ ‘cause I’m sure to pay
But I just can’t quit her
I’m wrapped around her finger and she knows it, too
Anything she asks she knows I’ll do
Hard to leave the woman when the lovin’s so true
No! I just can’t quit her
Now, I’m tellin’ you once – tellin’ you twice
Oh, Lord – it’s like paradise
Runnin’ from her lovin’ – but the lovin’s so nice
Oooh! – I’m rollin’ the dice
Gotta move along – nothin’ left to say
If you can keep a secret I’ll be sneakin’ away
But If she calls again, well, I guess I’ll stay
‘Cause I just can’t quit her
(phone rings)
Lady has my number – change of plan
One last time I’m such a lady’s man
Here I am a-fallin’ for her charms again
No, I just can’t quit her
No! I can’t quit now – Lord, I know what’s wrong
Hangin’ with this lady way too long
My Heart’s too weak but the lovin’s so strong
I just can’t quit her

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMEONE
Everybody’s got someone
Everybody’s got a place to stay
Since you’ve gone I’ve got no one
Nobody – no way

Everybody’s got a part to play

All alone here – growin’ old

Somebody’s gonna take ‘em home
Since you’ve gone I’ve got no one
Left me standin’ here – all alone

Nobody – no way
Nobody – no way

LYRICS
I REMEMBER HOW YOU HELD ME
I remember how you held me
I remember how you cried
That morning when they found me
That evening when i died
On a battlefield in England
Twenty thousand lay by my side
I took the road they always showed me
But now i can’t remember why
All my life they bought and sold me
But they never took my side
Oh, time – i've lately been on your mind
Now you find – you’ve worked your way back home
I’ve come to you – what you hoped could see you through
I can’t fight – you know i’m lying here feeling uneasy
I can’t run – you know i never quite felt this before
I remember how you loved me
I remember how you cried
That morning when you left me
That evening when i died
When the fightin’ finally ended
Fifty thousand lay by my side
I took the road they always showed me
But now i can’t remember why
All my life they bought and sold me
But they never took my side
Oh, time –i've lately been on your mind
Now you find – you’ve worked your way back home
I’ve come to you – what you hoped would see you through
I can’t fight
You know i’m lying here
Feelin’ so empty (feelin' so empty)
I can’t run
I feel my life blood
Drippin’ away (driftin’ away)

LYRICS
HEADIN' HOME AGAIN
Things keep lookin’ up ain’t it funny how life can turn
One day we think life’s got us down seems we’ll never learn
But if things keep lookin’ up – right on up around the bend
Someday soon I’ll be headin’ home, yeah, headin’ home again
Out here on my own and Lord, it’s been too long
Some days, you know I just don’t know how life could go so wrong
Bridges burned and lovers lost but all along the way
I always knew somewhere somehow I’d be headin’ home someday
And I’m headin’ home, yeah, I’m headin’ home
Yeah things keep lookin’ up ain’t it funny how life can turn
One day we think life’s got us down seems we’ll never learn
But if things keep lookin’ up right on up around the bend
Someday soon I’ll be headin’ home yeah, headin’ home again
Dreamin’ of you darlin’ let’s just forget the past
Life’s too short and now I’ve learned it’s only love that lasts
I long to hold you close, Babe love will show the way
I’m headin’ home to hold you, darlin’ Babe, I’m on my way
And I’m headin’ home I’m headin’ home
Yeah things keep lookin’ up ain’t it funny how life can turn
One day we think life’s got us down seems we’ll never learn
And if things keep lookin’ up right on up around the bend
Someday soon I’ll be headin’ home yeah, headin’ home again
– INSTRUMENTAL –
Yeah things keep lookin’ up ain’t it funny how life can turn

So long one last time and I’ll be leavin’
I’m movin’ on tomorrow’s waitin’ no use tryin’ to pretend
Good-bye lookin’ back I’m still believin’
All the times we shared our love we thought would never end

Adieu one last time our story’s endin’
But the love I’m sendin’ to you forever is true
And you know the summer’s gone and I’ll be goin’
We may meet again don’t know when I’ll be passin’ through
Though we always knew our love was true no one could hold me
My whole world’s waitin’ no hesitatin’ but
My heart’s still breakin’ – for you
Adieu
