Title
- 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
- 'Cause I'm already gone
- And I'm feelin' strong
- I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo
- 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)
- And I'm already gone
- And I'm feelin' strong
- I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo
- Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
- Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
- So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
- And we never even know we have the key
- But me, I'm already gone
- And I'm feelin' strong
- 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
- Yes, I'm already gone
- Already gone
- All right, nighty-night
- 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
- I can't live with you baby, can't live without it
- 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
- You never move like you used to do
- Pour it out when you're feelin' 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)
- Oo, Midnight Flyer
- Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
- Oo, Midnight Flyer
- I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
- 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
- Oo, Midnight Flyer
- Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
- Oo, Midnight Flyer,
- I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
- 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
- 'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
- Oo, Midnight Flyer
- Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
- Oo, Midnight Flyer
- I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
- I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
- Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
- Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
- Don't feel too bad, you're not all along
- We're all tryin' to get along
- With ev'rybody else try'n' to go their way
- You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
- Just go along 'til they turn out the lights
- There's nothin' we can do to fight it
- No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain
- And we who must remain go on living just the same
- 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
- My man's got it made
- He's gone far beyond the pain
- And we who must remain go on living just the same
- We who must remain go on laughing just the same
- Cruisin' down the center of a two way street
- Wond'rin' who is really in the driver's seat
- Mindin' my bus'ness along comes big brother
- Says, "Son, you better get on one side or the other."
- I'm out on the border, I'm walkin' the line
- Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
- I'm try'n' to change this water to wine.
- After a hard day, I'm safe at home
- Foolin' 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."
- I'm out on the border
- I thought this was a private line
- Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
- I'm try'n' to change this water to wine
- 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
- 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 try'n' to change this water to wine
- On the border
- On the border
- On the border
- On the border
- On the border
- Leave me be , I'm just walkin' 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 tryin to change this water to wine
- Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
- Sick and tired of all your law and order
- Sick and tired of it
- 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 allright
- 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
- Wond'rin' 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
- You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
- You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
- Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye
- Well, my time went to quickly
- I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five
- As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy,
- God knows I was feelin' alive
- And now the sun's comin' up
- I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
- Freeway cars and trucks
- Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
- Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
- Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
- Six in the morning, gave me no warnin'
- I had to be on my way
- Now the cars are all passin' me,
- Trucks are all flashin' me
- I'm headed home from your place
- And now the sun's comin' up
- I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
- Freeway cars and trucks
- Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
- Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
- Lord, don't you know, the feelin's gettin' stronger
- Well, my time went to quickly
- I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five
- As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy,
- God knows I was feelin' alive
- And now the sun's comin' up, yes it is
- I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
- Freeway cars and trucks
- Freeway cars and trucks,
- Ridin' with Lady Luck
- Freeway cars and trucks,
- Ridin' with Lady Luck
- Freeway cars and trucks
- Ridin' with Lady Luck...
- How come you love him when he
- Takes you for a fool
- He's only lookin' 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
- Is it true?
- I can't believe it
- Is it true?
- I just can't see it
- Is it true?
- Is that you?
- 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?
- Is it true?
- You've lost that feelin'?
- Is is true?
- You might be leavin'?
- Is it true?
- Don't wanna find out
- 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
- Is it true- you've lost that feelin'?
- Is it true- you might be leavin'?
- Is it true?
- Is it true?
- She's really leavin'
- She's really leavin'
- Move in,
- Can't you see she wants you
- She has you deep in her eyes
- You been wond'rin' 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
- Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
- And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
- Higher,
- She can keep you loaded,
- Feedin' you whiskey and wine
- Fire,
- The devil's on the phone, he laughs
- And says you're doin' the just fine
- In that big book of names I wanna go down
- In flames
- Seein's how I'm goin' down
- Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
- And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
- Truckin',
- That's all that I've been doin'
- Ev'ry 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
