1. Someone (J. French)
Don’t say your loves’s gone cause mine is still growing
I just want some one whose love can be true
Don’t say your love’s gone cause mine is still going
I just want some one, that some one is you
Tears filled our eyes when we said goodbye
I didn’t mean it, I never will
I want you to know, I’ve no heart of stone
You can believe it, I love you still
Don’t say your loves’s gone cause mine is still growing
I just want some one whose love can be true
Don’t say your love’s gone cause mine is still going
I just want some one, that some one is you
Memories survive like stars in the night
And on your ceiling, I’ll never lose
I want you tonight, holding you tight
Are you needing, needing me too
All these city lights, they won’t compromise
How my heart can be so blue
All these tears I cry, all alone at night
Crying over you
Don’t say your loves’s gone cause mine is still growing
I just want some one whose love can be true
Don’t say your love’s gone cause mine is still going
I just want some one, that some one is you
2. Just Another Day (P. Smithson)
Pretty girl takes me home
Lets me have my way
Morning comes, baby’s gone
Run off with my pay
Some might call that hard luck
For me it’s just another day
Went to work, sent me home
Nothing left to say
Laid me off, cut me loose
Poor man’s holiday
Some might call that hard luck
For me it’s just another day
Mister Jim, pour me one
I’ll pay you Saturday
Jim said, no, “You gotta go
You ain’t welcome here today”
Some might call that hard luck
For me it’s just another day
Went to church, said a prayer
Asked for better days
Preacher said, “Sorry, boy
Been too long away”
Some might call that hard luck
For me it’s just another day
Pretty girl takes me home
Lets me have my way
Morning comes baby’s gone
Run off with my pay
Some might call that hard luck
For me it’s just another day
3. Hills of Old Kentucky (J. French)
In the Hills of Old Kentucky
Where I wandered as a child
There were streams as fresh as new fallen snow
And the honeysuckle grew strong and wild
But then one night as we lay sleeping
They brought in all those big machines
And they changed the hills of Old Kentucky
Forever in my dreams
They took all that Kentucky coal
For the Pennsylvania steel
Dug up the load and left the holes
As empty as I feel
And now the Hills of Old Kentucky
Have been stolen away for one more automobile
And now the moon, she weeps upon us
Her tears fall into Kentucky soil
For the dream of paradise that once was
Has been lost in diesel, dust and foolish toil
Cause they took all that Kentucky coal
For their Pennsylvania steel
Dug up the load and left the holes
As empty as I feel
And now the Hills of Old Kentucky
Have been stolen away for one more automobile
Stolen away for one more automobile
4. Moving On (J. French)
If I had the power, I would give you hope
I would give you everything you need to get along
But if you know me well girl, you know my hands are tied
I have the best intentions, you know I always try
But I’m moving on
I can’t stay long
I’m moving on, moving on
I could make you breakfast, eggs, coffee, toast
But if you seek perfection you know I ain’t the most
I ain’t the most dependable man upon the earth
But scratch a little deeper, you’ll see I have some worth
But I’m moving on
I can’t stay long
I’m moving on, moving on
We could build a tower, out beside the sea
We could spend our hours, living in a dream
See I’m moving on (I’m moving on)
I can’t stay long (I can’t stay long)
I’m moving on, moving on
See I’m moving on (I’m moving on)
I can’t stay long (I can’t stay long)
I’m moving on, moving on
5. Never Was One (P. Smithson, J. French)
Never was one for staying on script
Life for me has been one long trip
Heading someplace, but I don’t know where
Don’t even know if I’ll ever get there
Never was one for walking the line
Paying my dues or doing my time
Rather be free to do as I please
Ending each day down on my knees
Never was one to stay alone at night
Never want to settle for a leaner life
Never was one to take a mental note
Life’s too short for those
Never was one for holding my tongue
Been that way since I was young
Hired and fired and laid off too
Bought and sold and traded out for new
Never was one for hanging around
Soon I’m gonna leave this one horse town
Loved and lost and been strung along
Trial by fire will make you strong
Never was one to stay alone at night
Never want to settle for a leaner life
Never was one to take a mental note
Life’s too short for those
6. Rough And Rocky Way (P. Smithson)
Raised upon the preacher’s words
Remember all the songs I heard
Rugged Cross, Amazing Grace
Lost my path along the way
Stood my ground, I had my say
Dodged the dogs and ran the race
Left my home, dropped out of school
Fell in love and played the fool
Lessons hard are lessons learned
Never could I settle down
Another day, another town
Another life at every turn
Every night I close my eyes
And again I realize
That nothing’s as it ought to be
And then I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die just let me say
It’s been a rough and rocky way
Living now my middle years
Had my joys, I had my tears
A million memories left behind
But I’ll keep on keeping on
Pack my bags and move along
And find tomorrow down the line
Every night I close my eyes
And again I realize
That nothing’s as it ought to be
And then I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die just let me say
It’s been a rough and rocky way
Every night I close my eyes
And again I realize
That nothing’s as it ought to be
And then I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die just let me say
It’s been a rough and rocky way
But I’m still standing here today
Wouldn’t have it any other way
It’s been a rough and rocky way
7. One Foot in the Graveyard (J. French, P. Smithson, J. Ramirez)
One foot in the graveyard, one in chains
Praying every night that I could live my life again
One bad decision, one trigger pull
One innocent man goes down before a fool
Wish I could take that bullet back’s my every night refrain
One foot in the graveyard, one in chains
I can see my freedom in that tree line out the way
I want to feel that sunlight on my face
If I could be a bird and leave this God-forsaken place
I would spread my wings and sail away…..sail away
I tried to run, I tried to hide, I tried to flee
But you know it’s just no use when the man was onto me
Wish I was a baby Lord, I could live my life again
Wish I was a snake so I could slide right out of my skin
Stuck behind these cold walls, it’s driving me insane
One foot in the graveyard, one in chains
Another day, another sun begins to fall
Another empty hour, shadows on the wall
I count the bars, I count the footsteps down the hall
Knowing everyday that it’s my fault….my own damn fault
One foot in the graveyard, one in chains
Praying every night that I could live my life again
One bad decision, one trigger pull
One innocent man goes down before a fool
Wish I could take that bullet back’s my every night refrain
One foot in the graveyard, one in chains.
8. Showdown (J. French)
Better get your guns, best get your knife
Have you heard the news, troubles on the rise
I might be wrong, but I might be right
There’s gonna be a showdown tonight
Dark clouds race, in the pale moonlight
Dark Riders ride, there’s very little time
So if it comes to a fight, stay right by my side
There’s gonna be a showdown tonight
Down to the river, we might find
Just a little shelter, from the coming night
But if we see trouble, don’t look back just ride
There’s gonna be a showdown tonight
I might be wrong, but what if I’m right
There’s gonna be a showdown
There’s gonna be a showdown
There’s gonna be a showdown tonight
9. Every Step (P. Smithson)
You might think it’s all over
You might think we are through
But there’s something you should know, girl
You can never run away from you
You’re off looking for something better
And I hope that’s what you find
But there are no greener pastures
Just the weeds you leave behind
For every step we take into tomorrow
Is built on where we stand today
And every day we spend, beg, steal, or borrow
Is just a day we leave behind
Every step and every time
So I sit here in the shadows
Of a dream I’d hoped we’d be
All I have are old worn pictures
Of the days of you and me
But I’ll not be here forever
Soon I’ll move on down the line
Not pretending I’ll find better
Than the weeds I leave behind
For every step we take into tomorrow
Is built on where we stand today
And every day we spend, beg, steal, or borrow
Is just a day we leave behind
Every step and every time
10. Heading Home (P. Smithson)
I’m taking back the life I own
I’m taking back the life I own
You won’t see me
I’m heading home
I’ve done my time
I’ve paid my dues
Damn near wore out
My walking shoes
Now all that’s left is nothing to lose
I’m taking back the life I own
I’m taking back the life I own
You won’t see me
I’m heading home
Not once or twice
But many more
I’ve watched my love
Walk out the door
And kick my heart across the floor
I’m taking back the life I own
I’m taking back the life I own
You won’t see me
I’m heading home
Don’t weep for me
Don’t say goodbye
When I’m gone
You will know why
May not have won, but at least I tried
I’m taking back the life I own
I’m taking back the life I own
You won’t see me
I’m heading home
11. Don’t Come Crying (J. French)
Wasn’t I always good to you baby?
I never gave you any cause for grief
Now you say you want some new horizons
Well, I guess that’s my cue to leave
Oh you better be careful darling
Going where the grass looks green
Cause when you find yourself on your knees
Don’t come crying to me
There’s a little bit of something missing
Kinda like there’s a hole in your heart
It ain’t hard to miss when you’re so distant
So here’s a lesson if we should part
Oh you better be careful baby
Going where the grass looks green
Cause when you cut yourself and your bleed
Don’t come crying
Don’t come crying to me
I been thinking you been sneaking around it
Faking feelings that you just don’t feel
Got a world of trouble when you doubt it
So come on out with it and make it real
Oh you gotta watch out baby
Going where the grass looks green
Cause when the money gets low and lean
Don’t come crying
Don’t come crying
Don’t come crying to me.
12. We Were Happy Then (P. Smithson)
We were happy then
Shared a love we knew would never end
More than lovers, we were best of friends
We were happy then
You know the seasons change
I remember dancing in the summer rain
Picking flowers when the spring began
You know the seasons change
And the story that was meant to be
The one made up of you and me
Was one for the all the world to see but then
Soon there came the second part
The one where there’s a change of heart and then
There came the story’s end
I had to let you go
I watched you leave for reasons I don’t know
There’s not a day that I don’t miss you so
I had to let you go
And the story that was meant to be
The one made up of you and me
Was one for the all the world to see but then
Soon there came the second part
The one where there’s a change of heart and then
There came the story’s end
We were happy then
If I cross your mind when you look back again
Do recall that you were my best friend
We were happy then
