Old Records

You sent me some records from way back when
I didn't play them
Don't want to hear them again
But these worn out old love songs were still on my mind
So tonight I dropped the needle and flipped the switch to forty-five
The needle on the record is like a needle in my heart
It skips and it scratches till I fall apart
Back when I loved you there was so much unsaid
I want you, I need you
Come back to bed
So you sent these old records for me to play
Hoping I'd hear all the words you couldn't say
I fall to pieces, you're always on my mind
Loving in vain, crying time
Those old country love songs
Still ring in my ears
The grooves in the records are filled with my tears
So I gathered them up and smashed them in two
Just like my heart was broken into pieces by you
The needle on the record...
I've learned to be careful
Of foolish young men
Who think that old vinyl
Can win me again

Dance Hall Built for Two

Well, I’ve two stepped across Texas
And all over Louisiane
Waltzed my way from the bayou out to the Rio Grande
But nothing can compare to when I come home to you
And our own little dance hall built for two
Well, it’s back step, two step, jitterbug too
Swing and turn and pull me
Right in close to you (last time go to vi and hold extra measure)
Nothing can compare to
When I come home to you
And our own little dance hall built for two
I remember when I met you
Just like it was last night
Whirling by the bandstand
You smiled and caught my eye
When I woke up the next morning
I’d lost my dancing shoes
I didn’t care, I’d left my heart there too
I’ve crossed a hundred dance floors
In the arms of a thousand men
Danced until the sun come up
And done it all again
But I’d sit out on the sidelines
If when the night was through
I could waltz right home to be with you

I Have Your Name

Pennies on the railroad tracks
Counting train cars for luck
You can hitch out to Santa Fe
Just to save a buck
Just to save a buck
Standing by the Hudson River
Watching the tugboats go
You know, they're all engine
I know, you told me so
I know, you told me so
Sometimes, I want to catch a train
Disappear, just fade away
I know you feel the same
I have your name
Oh, I have your name
A good man is hard to find
He's a great man in his own mind
But I know you still remember when
Your daddy pulled the shotgun out again
Your daddy pulled the shotgun out again
Sometimes, I want to catch a train
Disappear, just fade away
I know you feel the same
I have your name
Oh, I have your name
