Track Lyrics

Already Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
[Post-Chorus]
Woo hoo hoo, my my
Woo hoo hoo
[Verse 2]
The letter that you wrote me
Made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(That's right)
[Chorus]
And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
[Post-Chorus]
Woo hoo hoo, my my
Woo hoo hoo
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
[Chorus]
But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing (I will sing) this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
[Outro]
Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone

You Never Cry Like a Lover Lyrics

[Verse]
You never cry like a lover should
Sigh when it feels real good
Or see the sky through the stone and wood
You never cry like a lover
I thought i saw somebody i loved
Sleeping deep inside you
If i could catch you in an unguarded moment
I'd stay right here beside you
You never smile at me late at night
Laugh out loud when we get it right
You can't get loose if there's too much light
You never smile like a lover
Try a little harder
I can't live with you baby, can't live without it
Try a little harder
And sometimes i believe in love
Sometimes i doubt it
But your life goes on
Like a broken down carousel
Where somebody left the music on
[Bridge]
I was hoping you were the one [x4]
[Outro]
You never move like you used to do
Pour it out when you're feeling blue
Somebody must have put some pain on you
You never cry like a lover
(you never cry like a lover)
Cry
(you never cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)
Come on and cry
(you never cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)

Midnight Flyer Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and i feel like traveling on
[Verse 1]
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another man
And pull him down your way
Make him into someone who can take the place of me
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe
Maybe San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound
Any way to get me gone
Don't think about me
Never let me cross your mind
Except when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
[Chorus][x2]
[Outro]
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on

My Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me , how do you feel?
Like you're rolling so fast that you're spinning your wheels?
Don't feel too bad, you're not all along
We're all trying to get along
With everybody else trying to go their way
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
Just go along until they turn out the lights
There's nothing we can do to fight it
[Chorus]
No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
[Verse 2]
I once knew a man, very talented guy
He's sing for the people and people would cry
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind
Called him home
[Chorus][x2]
[Outro]
We who must remain go on laughing just the same

On the Border Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cruising down the center of a two way street
Wondering who is really in the driver's seat
Minding my business along comes big brother
Says, son, you better get on one side or the other
[Chorus]
I'm out on the border, i'm walking the line
Don't you tell me about your law and order
I'm trying to change this water to wine
[Verse 2]
After a hard day, i'm safe at home
Fooling with my baby on the telephone
Out of nowhere somebody cuts in and
Says, "hmm, you in some trouble boy, we know where you're been."
[Chorus]
I'm out on the border, I thought this was a private line
Don't you tell me about your law and order
I'm trying to change this water to wine
[Bridge]
Never mind your name, just give us your number, mm
Never mind your face, just show us your card, mm
And we wanna know whose wing are you under
You better step to the right or we can make it hard
[Chorus]
I'm stuck on the border
All I wanted was some peace of mind
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
I'm trying to change this water to wine
[Outro]
On the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
Leave me be , i'm just walking this line
On the border
On the border
All i wanted was some peace of mind, peace of mind
I'm out on the border
On the border
Can't you see i'm trying to change this water to wine
On the border
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
Sick and tired of all your law and order
On the border
Sick and tired of it
On the border
I'm the man on the border
On the border

James Dean Lyrics

12 ContributorsJames Dean Lyricsā€œJames Deanā€ was first written as for an album originally intended to have a theme on anti-heroes. According to Glenn Frey, he together with Don Henley, Jackson Browne, and J. D. Souther were jamming together… Read MoreĀ James Dean, James Dean
I know just what you mean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look alright
If I could see it on the silver screen
You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen
We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules
James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen
Little James Dean, up on the screen
Wondering who he might be
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye

Ol’ 55 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, my time went too quickly
I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
[Chorus]
And now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Lord, don't you know the feelings getting stronger
[Verse 2]
Six in the morning, gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Now the cars are all passing me
Trucks are all flashing me
I'm headed home from your place
[Chorus]
And now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Lord, don't you know the feelings getting stronger
[Verse 1]
Well, my time went too quickly
I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
[Outro]
And now the sun's coming up, yes it is
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Freeway cars and trucks
Riding with lady luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Riding with lady luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Riding with lady luck

Is It True? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How come you love him when he
Takes you for a fool
He's only looking for a good time
How can he love you when he
Treats you mean and cruel
He's not the best thing that you could find
[Chorus]
Is it true?
I can't believe it
Is it true?
I just can't see it
Is it true?
Is that you?
[Verse 2]
When we were young, we didn't really have a care
You were hung up, i had a good line
I never knew it then but, man, i was in love
How could i know it was the right time?
[Chorus]
Is it true?
I can't believe it
Is it true?
I just can't see it
Is it true?
Is that you?
[Verse 3]
Yes, i was so wrong
For leading you on
There wasn't much i could do
I was a wild one, but i can change some
If that's important to you
[Outro]
Is it true- you've lost that feeling?
Is it true- you might be leaving?
Is it true?
Is it true?
She's really leaving
She's really leaving
She's really leaving

Good Day in Hell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Move in
Can't you see she wants you
She has you deep in her eyes
You been wondering why she haunts you
Beauty in the devil's disguise
She can tell you all about it
She sees it in the stars
She'll burn you if you try to put her down
[Chorus]
Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
[Verse 2]
Higher
She can keep you loaded
Feeding you whiskey and wine
Fire
The devil's on the phone
He laughs and says you're doing just fine
In that big book of names
I wanna go down in flames
Seein's how I'm goin' down
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Truckin', that's all that I've been doin'
Every girl's a fork in the road
Stuck in some sticky situations
Feelin' like I wanna explode
All this gratification
And sick conversation
Someone get me out of town
Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
And tomorrow I'll be glory bound

The Best of My Love Lyrics

[2022 Remaster] Lyrics[Verse]
There he goes
Have you ever seen such perfection?
There he goes
My one and my only selection
He can make most any dream come true
Let me introduce him
Ah, let me introduce him to you
[Chorus]
Meet the beat of my heart
Meet the reason I beam so
Why I'm happy and seem so
Delighted, excited, got such a glow
Oh, meet the beat of my heart
Meet the time and thе weather
The tick that holds mе together
Without him beside me, I never could go on
[Post-Chorus]
Why do birdies sing all day?
What started spring on its way?
Oh, if you wanna know the inspiration
Meet the beat of my heart
Meet the song I'm rehearsing
You're gonna meet heaven in person
When you meet the beat of my heart
[Chorus]
Meet the beat of my heart
Meet the reason I beam so
Why I am happy and seem so
Delighted, excited, ignited
With a lovely glow
Oh, meet the beat of my heart
Meet the time and the weather
The tick-tick-tick that holds me together
Without him beside me, I never could go on
[Post-Chorus]
Why do birdies sing, "Tweet-tweet-tweet"?
What started spring? Tra-la-la
Oh, if you wanna know the inspiration
I would like you to meet the beat of my heart
Meet the song I'm rehearsing
You're gonna meet heaven in person
When you meet the throbbing beat
The beat of my heart
