Back To Hell
Verse1:
A woman of her word is hard to find
An baby I can’t get you off my mind
If I never got in trouble, had to roam
Well darlin’ I’d a made you for my own
Chorus:
Oh but now I’m here “in this prison cell”
And we can’t make a home, in this living Hell
So I’ll keep writing letters, in hopes they find you well
And maybe you could write me back
Just post them back to Hell
Verse2:
At night sometimes when I dream
Well I dreamed of the stars in your eyes
But the jailer will awake me from my sleep
And I can feel the cold steel shackles on my feet
Chorus:
Oh but now I’m here in this prison cell
And we can’t make a home, in this living Hell
So I’ll keep writing letters, in hopes they find you well
And maybe you could write me back

Who Closed The Honky Tonks
Chorus:
Who closed the honky tonks, there's no more hardwood floors
And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore
Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know
That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal
Verse1:
Now you might seem to think, a guy could find a drink
But her memory haunts me every place I go
There's nobody left in town, an' no music for miles around
Oh how Hank an' Lefty would sure be good to hear
Chorus: Modulation
Who closed the honky tonks, no more hardwood floors
And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore
Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know
That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal
Verse2:
Tried a different place every night, but the bar stools don't feel right
And the best bar singer just passed away last year
There's nobody left in town, an' no music for miles around
Oh how Hank an' Lefty would sure be good to hear
Chorus:
Who closed the honky tonks, no more hardwood floors
And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore
Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know
That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal

Under The Influence Of The Blues
Verse1:
Well I'm leaving this damn town, I can't stand to hang around
Since I seen you and him go down my street
So I'll hop in this ol' car, might not make it very far cause I was under the influence of the blues
Verse2:
Well they kicked me out last night, cause I started a barroom fight
The bartender said I had, too much to drink
Yeah, but what he didn't know, it was cause I loved you so that I was under the influence of the blues
Chorus:
Under the influence of the blues
An' now I can barely stand, but it ain't from the booze
Under the influence of the blues
An' now how much more can I stand to lose
Verse3
I was arrested the other day, they're going to lockme away
They said, if I didn't walk their line.
Yeah, but when I walked their line, well they thought that I was fine but I was under the influence of the blues
Chorus:
Under the influence of the blues
Now I can barely stand, but it ain't from the booze
Under the influence of the blues
Now how much more can I stand to lose

In my mind there's a door that leads to sorrow, Darkened stairs, lead deep into my heart
There's a room that's only for regrets dear, and inside I find you waiting there

In my mind *there's a room where I'll* keep your memories
And every *night we're alone locked* inside without a key
And I'll make believe, *we're doing fine*
Yes we're doing fine
In this prison of my mind

The Workingman
Verse1
A good man goes to work, and bloodies up his hands
Trying to make a dollar to feed his family, doin the best he can
Born to lose, he's the workingman
Verse2
Well the rich mans mind won't change, too much money in the land
And don't you know greed is a powerful thing, and we'll never understand
They get all the wealth not the workingman
Chorus
Oh the workingman, he's the worried kind,
Ya the workingman, hes got trouble on his mind
This life that he's leading, won’t spare him the blues
And he won’t rest easy, until his days are through
Verse3
The union pays its dues, the deal just won't go down
And I've been told that the 1% it makes this world go round
But what comes down, is for the workingman
Chorus
Oh the workingman, he's the worried kind,
Ya the workingman, hes got trouble on his mind
This life that he's leading, won’t spare him the blues
And he won’t rest easy, until his days are through

Pages Of My Heart
Verse 1:
O you told me when I met you darlin, right from the start
That I was just an open book, and so was Heart
Now I see that much was real, and I’m so sad and blue
Time has turned the pages, is this story ending soon?
Only you
Only you
Only you can write the pages Of My Heart
Bridge
Verse 2:
If I read to much into it, there’s things that we don’t say
Silence here has said it all, now we’ve go astray
Page by page, you’ve torn away, this fairytale of mine
Time has come, with pen in hand, write your final line
Only you
Only you
Only you can write the pages Of My Heart
Break
Verse 3:
If I could, I’d erase these chapters from my heart
Hand the pen to someone new, an make a brand new start
But on and on in every line there’s a fool that’s never free
Time will tell, I’ll always be, yours eternally
Only you
Only you
Only you can write the pages Of My Heart

Lonesome In A Crowd
Verse1:
Well it's Saturday night where the lights are bright and there's so many good friends to see
But here I'll stand in this darken crowd, alone with just my memories
Well it was just last night I was a holding you tight in a dream of lonesome yesterday
But now I see you with the other guy while my heart inside begins to die
Chorus:
*It gets so lonesome in a crowd sometimes, with someone on your mind
When it feels like your guts are routed clean*, when you're lonesome in a crowd
I get so lonesome in a crowd, I get so lonesome in a crowd
Verse2:
Well I'll bet she doesn't feel like me drinking and having lots of fun
And *she'll probably go home with the lucky guy and I'll spend the night alone*
Bridge:
Doesn't *anybody see what's wrong why do they dance and carry-on
And why do they play those happy songs* when you're lonesome in a crowd
I get so lonesome in a crowd, I get so lonesome in a crowd
Chorus:
*I get so lonesome in a crowd sometimes, with someone on your mind
When it feels like your guts are routed clean*, when you're lonesome in a crowd
I get so lonesome in a crowd, I get so lonesome in a crowd
