This Heart Of Mine (Larry W. Jones 08/21/2006) (song#4002) This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you Our love was a song that I thought would never end But something went wrong that I can't comprehend I gave you my heart and my everything You tore it apart and broke every string This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you I sit here alone with my memories Thinking of you as free as the breeze This heart of mine cries but nobody hears And here in my eyes are nothing but tears This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you Back In Country Texas (Larry W.

Jones 10/15/2006) (song#4067) I met her up in Texarkana Underneath that Texas moon Not far from Louisiana Her heart and mine in tune I tried to see her next morning Wanted to call her my very own Now I pine for my Texarkana darling She went and left me all alone Oh, moon over Texarkana Shine over Texas clover with your light Oh, moon over Texarkana Where is my Texarkana darling tonight Beam down upon her my love Let her know I'll never go away I'm waiting for my Texarkana dove Begging that she'll return some day Oh, moon over Texarkana Shine over Texas clover with your light Oh, moon over Texarkana Where is my Texarkana darling tonight Hank Williams Shoes (Larry W. Jones 10/15/2006) (song#4068) There's never been country music Like Hank Williams used to play And I guess that's why I still pick Hank's kind of music to this day The words that Hank put his pen to Were about lost love and blues No wonder the places I've been to Got me walkin' in Hank Williams shoes Romance would always play a part Even though it was a cheatin' heart Honky tonk blues and broken dreams Were infused in his song's themes Every time I put Hank's records on They seem to give me another clue As to why it is that I am drawn To walkin' in Hank Williams shoes Now as I travel with my band I think that somehow I can see Something about his writing hand Wrote some of those songs of me Hank sang about the common man The way of life that some men choose And tonight that's why I understand I'm walkin' in Hank Williams shoes Western Desert Breeze (Larry W. Jones 10/15/2006) (song#4069) I hear the western desert breeze Blowing through the mesquite trees Whispering of love from long ago Of dreams that grew as in a garden Promises that might have been Whispering of love I used to know As the branches they are swinging I can hear the breezes singing Of how the purple sage does grow I hear the western desert breeze Blowing through the mesquite trees Whispering of love from long ago My life's been filled with good things Where the western breeze does blow But I wish there had been gold rings And vows between a bride and beau I hear the western desert breeze Blowing through the mesquite trees Whispering of love from long ago Of dreams that grew as in a garden Promises that might have been Whispering of love I used to know Drifter Of The Plains (Larry W.

If it's dead, deep-six it But if you fall in love with a cowgirl You must treat her like a precious pearl That's cowboy philosophy, the way it's got to be The truth is in his song, it's either right or wrong That's cowboy philosophy, the way it's got to be If the cattle stampede, then chase 'em If they're a contrary breed, just face 'em And if you get thrown down in the dirt Get up and dust off your cowboy shirt That's cowboy philosophy, the way it's got to be The truth is in his song, it's either right or wrong That's cowboy philosophy, the way it's got to be Happy Trails Are Here Again (Larry W.

Jones 10/17/2006) (song#4077) Somewhere out on the western range Just west of the mighty Rio Grande They tell of a cowboy known for fame And the wild mesa ponies he'd command He talked to the ponies that he would ride Told them not to worry about their hide Upon the ponies' backs he would slide To run with the wind o're the Great Divide When thunder rolled in the stormy distance The wild mesa ponies' eyes would flame Running like the wind was their insistence And upon their back, the cowboy of fame He talked to the ponies that he would ride Told them not to worry about their hide Upon the ponies' backs he would slide To run with the wind o're the Great Divide Indian Summer (Larry W. Jones 10/17/2006) (song#4078) If only Indian summer would stay here longer If only the cold of winter I could suspend If only old cowboys wouldn't move so far along I'd ride with them in Indian summer once again But the cold of Winter replaces Indian summer And old cowboys just take it on the chin Maybe next year when comes the old cowboys I'll ride with them in Indian summer once again For now I'll just say adios 'til they return Hold these words close, for cowboys learn When it's time to part, loyalty goes along It won't depart, for cowboy's hearts are strong But the cold of Winter replaces Indian summer And old cowboys just take it on the chin Maybe next year when comes the old cowboys I'll ride with them in Indian summer once again Maybe next year when comes the old cowboys I'll ride with them in Indian summer once again For Another You Love (Larry W.

Jones 10/23/2006) (song#4085) That cowboy's broken one too many And he brags a little too much out loud He thinks he's still a cowboy of twenty And I'll admit he still wows the crowd But I can see the clouds that brand him And I know they don't understand him He's breakin' horses with a broken heart Searchin' for a dream in a two bit rodeo He won't admit that he should let her go He's a cowboy breakin' horses with a broken heart He's still the center of attention Every time the rodeo comes around But I noticed he never mentions The reason why his tears come down There's a cowgirl out there somewhere That's in every broken hearted cowboy's prayer He's breakin' horses with a broken heart Searchin' for a dream in a two bit rodeo He won't admit that he should let her go He's a cowboy breakin' horses with a broken heart A lonesome cowboy breakin' horses with a broken heart Lost Trail Of Pain (Larry W.
