The road is my mistress, she lays herself down And she spreads herself out just for me And I love the road And I love everything that she brings me And tonight the road... Breakfast in a small town Spinning wheels, black on grey Plug it in, do my show Never twice the same way And I love the road And I love everything that she brings me And tonight the road... Driving hail, starlit skies Canyons deep, prairies wide, New skylines, friends new and old Even the loneliness And I love the road And I love everything that she brings me And tonight the road... Oh the road is my mistress, she lays herself down And she spreads herself out just for me And I love the road And I love everything that she brings me And tonight the road... Brought me you.

Scott's Song 03:10
Well maybe it's alright if you leave and nothing happens between you and me. Maybe it's alright if you stay, if you just stay you, and I'll just stay me. I just wanna reach out and touch ya, babe, but I don't want to get burned. I can see you're still on fire from the last girl. Well OK, maybe just one more month. We could play house and then you could head South and just leave me alone. Quit singing your pretty songs and I'll quit trying, babe, I'll quit trying to sing along. Something deep down inside me, babe, said you shouldn't leave yet. I've got a fistful of sand you could sift through your records for rent.

Devil in a blue dress I'd sing 'em 'Tougher Than The Rest' Since she got through with me, It seems my heart's been torn out of my chest I go through the motions but it ain't like before Although I may be laughing loud I'm lying flat upon the floor My heart won't sing no more The sun is getting low And all my friends are putting on their party clothes Me I'm sitting wondering if I oughta stay or oughta go Whether I sit right here Or drag my bones out there I know I ain't goin' nowhere.

Please Baby 05:34
Capo 2. A D E7 Please Baby Plee-ease Baby Won't you come back to your daddy one more time? Please Baby Plee-ease Baby When I get my money I will give you my last dime When you left me babe, you left me feelin' blue You know that I didn't love no one but you Please Baby Plee-ease Baby Won't you come back to your daddy one more time? I'm so blue Baby I'm sooo blue Baby Can't sleep at night can't hardly talk for cryin' You know Baby You know Baby! You're always forever on my mind Since you left me babe I can't sleep at night I go to take my meals I can't eat a bite Please Baby Plee-ease Baby Won't you come back and leave that other man alone? Please Baby Plee-ease Baby I need you here to carry my lovin' home I know babe that I didn't treat you right I need your lovin' both day and night Please Baby Plee-ease Baby Won't you come back to you daddy one more time?

Wayside 04:46
My friend Wait by the wayside Linger awhile by the wayside and see I will come wandering by there in no time Wait by the wayside for me When we Walk along singing When we walk along singing we'll see Voices are stronger and sweeter in harmony Wait by the wayside for me Sometimes Things can get dangerous Sometimes it can be so hard to see But the road's not so dark when we walk it together Wait by the wayside for me

Well you're just another night on the town and I'm just a drunk buying the next round. You're just another sad country song and I'm the slow dancers singing along. You're just a sinner looking to disappear and I'm just your ticket getting out of here. I'm just what daddy calls bad news and I'm what your mother calls an inviation to the blues. So please stop pulling on my heart strings, baby and I'll stop pulling on your heart strings, baby. You're just another back country road and I'm an old dog trying to find my way home. You're just that song thats always stuck in my head and I won't be happy till I hear you again. You're just a boy with a sweet melody and you're just the girl singing my harmonies. We could watch the sunrise, see what tomorrows gonna be. Oh cause darlin' you strink a chord in me. So don't stop pulling on my heart strings, baby and I won't stop pulling on your heart strings, baby.

Gold 05:04
All the friends that we have knowed Will always stay as we grow old I've seen them last, I've seen them fold I would not trade you for gold Im gonna lay down, sleep for a long time once I leave this place behind Im gonna wake me, when I'm ready gonna let that sunshine open up my eyes once I leave this place behind When Im rested, Im gonna love you early in the morning till the night has come When its night time I'll lay beside you and we will dream through till the morning sun early in the morning till the night has come All the friends that we have knowed will always stay as we grow old I've seen them last, I've seen them fold I would not trade you for gold If you ruled heaven, I'd be your angel If you were Queen, I'd be your bee If you were sunshine, I'd be the ocean And that way your smile would Shine down on me If you were Queen, I'd be your bee All the friends that we have knowed Won't always stay as we grow old I've seen the last and I've seen them fold I would not trade you for gold

Well its quarter to four and my mind is awake Its finding the pathways that memories take I find you the way I remember you best On Burnt Island lake in your blue mermaid dress I remember you sitting there in the door It was August of nineteen ninety four The summer we swam in the green reservoir There was a song in the hollow of every guitar All our love yet unmade, all our wine yet to drink All the fresh garden basil in your kitchen sink I remember you sitting crouched in the door And there's no you to even sing this to anymore Where you are now I can't even guess But I remember you in your blue mermaid dress Your blue mermaid dress always got in our way Like your hair in our mouths in the heat of the day I remember you loved to jump from rock to rock I remember you on your cottage dock Where we rolled and made love and laughed all day Our laughter ricocheted all around the bay Your blue mermaid dress all around your waist I wanted you so long and you gave me a taste I built us a fire, you remember that? Sam Cooke was singing That's Where Its At Aretha knew just how I made you feel And suddenly all of their music was real But songs all resolve, the come back to the one While people just live with the damage they've done Every song that I've loved I count as my friend Not even the band knows how this one will end Cause where you are now I can't even guess But I remember you in your blue mermaid dress Its quarter to five and my friends are asleep These are the hours that memories keep I was always a nighthawk, but I'm sleeping less Remembering you in your blue mermaid dress

Old Lovers 05:06
Where do you meet an old lover? A crowded well lit public place. You can not lie to old lovers, its written all over your face. What do you ask an old lover? What their life's like without you. Why do you need an old lover feeling so sorry for you? What do you say to old lovers, that they don't already know. If I knew what to say to old lovers, I'd have no old lovers no more. When do you meet an old lover? How long does your heart take to heal? You can't deceive your old lover, they already know how you feel. Why do you call your old lover when you get kicked out of the bar? What makes you think your old lover gives a good goddamn where you are? What do you say to old lovers, that they don't already know? If I knew what to say to old lovers, I'd have no old lovers no more. Who do you call an old lover? Is that anyone who's ever seen you undressed? Or is it the role of old lovers to remind you how much you've been blessed? Does it hurt you to see me old lover, happy with somebody else? Do you love me old lover, enough to get over yourself? What do you say to old lovers, that they don't already know? If I knew what to say to old lovers, I'd have no old lovers no more.
