(M.Mikuláš, L.Holmes)

I been runnin down roads that I already ran
Gonna let my hair down and find a place to start again
Too long time since I felt some affection
Headin‘ dead west till I find a direction
All I can do is do the very best that I can

Oh lord I can’t afford to stay here another day
You bringin‘ me down and there’s got to be a better way
Ain’t in the mood for nothin fancy
Just an old roadhouse and a night of dancin
I got my motor runnin and you ain’t gonna treat me this way

I can’t help feelin that I’m just spinning my wheels
You want to sit around but I gotta kick up my heels
I had enough of your long cold shoulder
I’m one day wiser you’re another day older
I hope some day you know the way it feels

I’m singin,
Oh lord I can’t afford to stay here another day
You bringin‘ me down and there’s got to be a better way
A longneck bottle and freehand pour
A real gone band and a sawdust floor
I got my motor runnin and you ain’t gonna treat me this way

(M.Mikuláš, L.Holmes)

Always been your song and dance
You won’t ever take a chance
All that Talk ‚bout how you’d like to stay
And then you throw’t away

Had it all a dozen times
All you want’s a mountain to climb
Reach the top and have a look around
You runnin‘ downhill now

Savannah, Voodoo Runner, in the night.

All you do is lay the blame
You just call it playin‘ the game
I ain’t sure that you know the rules
Girl, you keep actin‘ the fool

Say you want to settle down
Stop your runnin‘ from town to town
You ain’t gettin‘ no younger, my friend
But then you runnin‘ again

Savannah, Voodoo Runner, in the night.

Never waitin‘ out the morning light
And runnin‘ just for spite.
What’ll ya do when the tables turn
And you get your heart broke:
Ain’t you ever gonna learn?

I got your letter in my hand
You gon‘ make me understand
This time you know it’s the real thing
Cause how you bought him a ring

You fell for him like they fell for you
So what you gonna do when the bills come due
You swear that you won’t never leave him blue
But what if he runs on you?

Savannah, Voodoo Runner, in the night.

Never waitin‘ out the morning light
And runnin‘ just for spite.
What’ll ya do when the tables turn
And you get your heart broke:
Ain’t you ever gonna learn?

(Keith Sewell)

I would have given anything to make you want my love,
Only to see you walk away and leave me in the dust.
But for who I blame those bitter tears, Girl, you´re not the one,
Cause you can´t break a heart when it´s already been done.

So Darlin´, I´m still paralyzed by the sound of her goodbye,
Nothin´ to lose this time I´m too far down to fall.
I´m runnin on wounded pride, no need to sympathize,
Cause you didn´t make me cry, I was too far down to fall
Too far down to fall.

I can´t stop her memory from spinnin´ in my head,
My whole worldturned on every word she said.
So I could never blame you, Girl, for leavin´ me this way,
She left me a loser with nothing at stake.

So Darlin´, I´m still paralyzed by the sound of her goodbye,
Nothin´ to lose this time I´m too far down to fall.
I´m runnin on wounded pride, no need to sympathize,
Cause you didn´t make me cry, I was too far down to fall
Too far down to fall.

(Daryl Keith Norman/Glenn Faulkner)

I don’t want you in my life if there’s alibis and lies
I’d rather be alone than love like that
You see deception’s just a game – a lonely heart by another name
Can I trust the truth I see from where I’m at?

Just say the words – no alibis and lies
Just say the words – no fear of compromise
I’ll be yours forever – don’t make me say goodbye
I won’t return to alibis and lies

Every heartache that I’ve known
came from alibis and lies
Somehow honesty was always left behind
Giving love unselfishly –
alone again and I would be
Left picking up the pieces one more time

Just say the words – no alibis and lies
Just say the words – no fear of compromise
I’ll be yours forever – don’t make me say goodbye
I won’t return to alibis and lies

So now my heart is in your hands
I hope and pray you understand
I just couldn’t bear to hear you say goodbye
It would tear my world apart
And completely break my heart
But not as much as living with a lie

Say the words – no alibis and lies
Just say the words – no fear of compromise
I’ll be yours forever – don’t make me say goodbye
I won’t return to alibis and lies
No I won’t return to alibis and lies

(H.Allen, B.Long)

He really liked flannel with biboveralls
If you looked in his closet it was all that you saw
He’d dress up on Sunday and thought he looked ne
In a green leisure suit with wingtips on his feet

And I hated the music he played in the car
It was hard to believe he called those people stars
They sang through their noses like they all had colds
I guess it’s hard to be cool hen your forty years old

And I was fifteen and real hip with long hair
And I’d ask my mama why’s daddy so square
And I could’t believe all that he didn’t know
I guess it’s hard to be cool when your forty years old

The night I turned twenty she came with the news
Scared half to death and didn’t know what to do
I told her I’m sorry, but it’s not too late
There’s a doctor I’ve heard of that fixes mistakes

And I thought he was working and I was alone
But he was standing behind me when I hung up thephone
He said Son there’s a few things you don’t know about
If you listen real close we can figure this out

Cause I was eighteen and as wild as they came
When one night a young girl told me the same thing
And you would’t be here if she hadn’t said no
You see, It’s hard to be cool hen your twenty years old

These days I like flannel and old Levi jeans
And I look at my young boy who just turned fifteen
I know what he’s thinking but it’s ok you know
You see, It’s hard to be cool when your fifteen years old

(Daryl Keith Norman/Corey Barker)

Another cold and lonely moon
fillin‘ up this empty room
Chasin’ off your mem’ries one by one
I’ve finally come to see the light –
I won’t be losin’ sleep tonight
Though my world has slowly come undone
The writing’s on the wall
The silence says it all

My heart’s still a mess but I’m dryin‘ my eyes
I’m learnin‘ to say hello to goodbye
Your ring finally left it’s mark today
And it’s better off this way
(better off this way)

Chains cut loose – hands untied –
time is almost on my side
So if you think I’m gonna fall apart
I guess you’d better think again –
it’s over but it’s not the end
Life goes on beyond a broken heart
You did the walkin‘ – I did the cryin‘
Now that you’re gone there’s no denyin‘

My heart’s still a mess but I’m dryin‘ my eyes
I’m learnin‘ to say hello to goodbye
Your ring finally left it’s mark today
And it’s better off this way

My heart’s still a mess but I’m dryin‘ my eyes
I’m learnin‘ to say hello to goodbye
Your ring finally left it’s mark todaaay

My heart’s still a mess but I’m dryin‘ my eyes
I’m learnin‘ to say hello to goodbye
Your ring finally left it’s mark today
And it’s better off this way
better off this way
