But I Don't Care (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4401)

My dreams have fled, my life has bled, but I don't care
My mind has said your love is dead, so I don't care
My only regret is that you and I met, I swear
My dreams have fled, my life's in shreds, but I don't care

A dream is a thing that comes from out of the blue
I had a dream but it's never seen since I lost you
My mind has said your love is dead, so I don't care
My dreams have fled, my life has bled, but I don't care

- instrumental -

A dream is a thing that comes from out of the blue
I had a dream but it's never seen since I lost you
My mind has said your love is dead, so I don't care
My dreams have fled, my life has bled, but I don't care

My only regret is that you and I met, I swear
My dreams have fled, my life's in shreds, but I don't care
My dreams have fled, my life's in shreds...
But I don't care...
Mexia Texas Girl (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4402)

In a small Texas town Vickie Lynn was raised
A baton in the high school band she would twirl
She had such beauty the whole town was dazed
Which wasn't bad for a young Mexia Texas girl

Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken was where she spent
After school while dreams in her head would swirl
Of glossy magazines and movie screens content
While she was still a country Mexia Texas girl

She quit high school in her eleventh grade
Married young without her starlet's pearls
But soon the married life she would trade
For the fame and money of a Hollywood girl   

- instrumental -

The time would come when Vickie Lynn changed
And Anna Nicole would make the big time whirl
And the folks back home would think it strange
To see and hear about their own Mexia Texas girl

Years went by and a lot happened in between
For the darling of the screen and magazines
At thirty nine Anna Nicole left this world
Was it by design that happiness never find
A Mexia Texas girl
Cowboy Creed (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4403)

Follow that herd, I've gotta follow that herd of longhorns
Keep them dogies movin', movin', movin' along
I've gotta follow that herd wherever the trail may lead
I've gotta follow that herd cause that's the cowboy creed

When that herd gets restless, it's time to move 'em along
When it's time to bed 'em down, a cowboy sings his song
It's like a dream that calls all cowboys true
And there's nothing else a cowboy can do

I've gotta follow that herd wherever the trail may lead
I've gotta follow that herd cause that's the cowboy creed
Keep them dogies movin', movin', movin' along

One of these days I'll find another love for me
Someone who'll ride life's trail with me
And when I've heard her call, there'll be no doubt
That herdin' cattle ain't all that dreams are all about

I've gotta follow that herd wherever the trail may lead
I've gotta follow that herd cause that's the cowboy creed
I've gotta follow that herd wherever the trail may lead
I've gotta follow that herd cause that's the cowboy creed

Keep them dogies movin', movin', movin' along
Keep them dogies movin', movin', movin' along
Movin', movin', movin' along
Follow The Western Trail (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4404)

Follow the western trail
The cowboy trail that went away
Return to me, is what I pray
The cowboy way I miss each day

Follow the western trail
Wherever real cowboys may be
Follow the western trail and you'll find me

At night I feel the pull of the moon
Even the purple sage does its part
The western trail could not come too soon
For a cowboy with an empty heart

Bring back the only love I knew
The way of life that I once knew
Make the western trail come true
And all my cowboy dreams renew

Follow the western trail
Wherever real cowboys may be
Follow the western trail and you'll find me
Mindless Heart (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4405)

I want a love that wants to grow
I want a love that I can know
Will be always there
Will see love through somehow
Will be ready to share

I want a love that will grow strong
One that will keep me from feeling alone
But I wonder about my lonely heart
Whether it will do its part
Or lose its mind again as at the start

Mindless heart, now hear me talking
Better run away, just keep on walking
Mindless heart, take heed of warning
You just think that you were hurt before
Think twice before you open your door

- instrumental -

Your heartstrings are tuning again
Don't go swooning over a love you can't win
Now who's that knocking on your door
Someone with silk stockings as before
You know that if you let her in
Your breaking might begin again

Mindless heart, now hear me talking
Better run away, just keep on walking
Mindless heart, take heed of warning
You just think that you were hurt before
Think twice before you open your door
Cowboy's Shangri-la (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4406) 

Hope you get this telegraph message, darlin'
Cause this may be my last hurrah
Tomorrow at high noon I may be dyin'
At the doorway to the Cowboy's Shangri-la

The cattle drive was over this mornin'
I sent some earnin's on to Ma and Pa
But then I walked over to the bar room
The one called the Cowboy's Shangri-la

The room was noisy, watching can-can girls dance
There were men playin' poker, cowboys all
So, I found me a table, thought I'd take a chance
A grand old place, the Cowboy's Shangri-la

One of them asked me if I had a love
I showed him your picture and he said, aha
His disrespect led to push and shove
At that table in the Cowboy's Shangri-la

I looked him square in the face and told him
Mister, you'll eat those words real soon
And I challenged him in front of all of them
Meet me at the Cowboy's Shangri-la at noon

So, this telegram may be adios, my darlin'
Guns will be clearin' leather outside the law
If I don't return from Virginia City, darlin'
You'll find my boots in the Cowboy's Shangri-la
All My Days And Cowboy Ways (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4407)

For all my days and cowboy ways
I think of all the things I've seen
Mountains so high, the western sky
And I thank heaven for every scene

The prairie stage, the purple sage
I think of every valley stream
At the end of day, I stop and say
A thanks to heaven for every scene

On clouds I gaze, sun painted ablaze
Sometimes it looks like a dream
For all my days and cowboy ways
I thank heaven for every scene

- instrumental -

The prairie stage, the purple sage
I think of every valley stream
At the end of day, I stop and say
A thanks to heaven for every scene

On clouds I gaze, sun painted ablaze
Sometimes it looks like a dream
For all my days and cowboy ways
I thank heaven for every scene
On The Trail To The Sun (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2007) (song#4408)

My pony rides on stormy trails
Faces prairies covered by veils
But the end of the trail's in view
Now that I'm seeing you

I lived this cowboy life so lightly
Never finding a gentle lady
I roamed so freely and completely
Doing things a little shady

But life went on drifting by
Many times I hung my head to sigh
True love I let myself deny
Many times I hung my head to cry

Trails that you ride when you're alone
Speak louder than words in a cowboy song
Gentle lady, these words you now must know
I've been spurred to say that I love you so

Point my pony on the trail to the sun
Feel the warmth of true love just begun
We'll share each and every dream that comes
On the trail to the sun
Kinda Sentimental Love (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4409)

My love for you is kinda sentimental
Please believe me, I beg of you
And if you will be gentle
I'll give my heart to you

I was meant for you
And you were meant for me alone
If you'll give your heart to me
I'll give you mine that's true and strong

Each morning is when I think of you
Each night is when I dream of you
Darling, I'd never be lonely
If you'd only make my dream come true

- instrumental -

My love for you is kinda sentimental
Please believe me, I beg of you
And if you will be gentle
I'll give my heart to you

Each morning is when I think of you
Each night is when I dream of you
Darling, I'd never be lonely
If you'd only make my dream come true
This Desert Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4410)

Please take this desert rose
This tender desert rose
A little flower rare
Far beyond compare

And as the sunlight goes
See the crimson as it glows
And see also there
An emblem of the love this cowboy bears

Please take this cowboy's heart
For in this heart is where true love dwells
And let it become a flame
To warm your life and mine the same

Please take this cowboy's heart
And look into my eyes for they will tell
That in my heart dwells a love I claim
For you and you alone

Please take this desert rose
This tender desert rose
An emblem of the love this cowboy bears
Stagecoach Full Of Love (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4411)

I've got horses pullin' a stagecoach full of love
And I need a cute little cowgirl to ride in thereof
I've got saddlebags full of kisses
Come and be my missus in my stagecoach full of love

We'll explore the prairie wide together
We'll stay dry inside in stormy weather
I've got a golden band for your hand
On your finger it'll fit like a glove
I'll give my horses the stride command
And we'll ride in my stagecoach full of love

- instrumental -
 
My stagecoach full of love is really dandy
We'll raise lots of kids until we're really grandy
I've got horses pullin' a stagecoach full of love
And I need a cute little cowgirl to ride in thereof
I've got saddlebags full of kisses
Come and be my missus in my stagecoach full of love

We'll explore the prairie wide together
We'll stay dry inside in stormy weather
I've got a stagecoach full of love and best wishes
And if you wish I might even help to dry the dishes

I've got a golden band for your hand
On your finger it'll fit like a glove
I'll give my horses the stride command
And we'll ride in my stagecoach full of love
Fade To Black (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4412)

The play is about to end where they throw in the rose
But I know I'll have to leave before the curtains close
It's the final act and there's no chance of turning back
The play is about to end where they throw in the rose
Let the fade to black begin before my heartache shows

The part you played was written by the queen of hearts
The part I played was written by a joker from the start
So, before the final curtain call is sounded by applause
I'm already certain that all my dreams are at a loss
Let the fade to black begin before my heartaches start

- instrumental -

It could have been a joyful ending on a stage of love
But once the lights so bright begin to fade to black
No one turns back the hands of time with a silken glove
The part I played was written by a joker from the start
Let the fade to black begin before my heartaches start
Eternally And Evermore (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4413)

Eternally and evermore
I will love you true
I would wait eternally
For a dream like you
You make me glad
Though sometimes sad and blue
Must I wait eternally and evermore for you

At night I say a silent prayer
And ask that you care for me
If you could only hear my prayer
And your love share with me
All the gold could not compare or buy one thing I need
Eternally and evermore a pair of lovers be

- instrumental -

At night I say a silent prayer
And ask that you care for me
If you could only hear my prayer
And your love share with me
All the gold could not compare or buy one thing I need
Eternally and evermore a pair of lovers be
Forever Spring (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4414)

The winter snow is melting as the new replaces old
And greener days are drawing near
Early spring is coming to replace the cold
Now that you are here

I watch the robbins flying north like springtime gems
A million of them will appear
I am happy, oh so happy, just like them
Now that you are here

Like the springtime wind through the trees in May
Like a song on the breeze you came my way

Through the winter's cold and snow I used to tread my way
I always hated that time of year
But now the cold is gone and springtime's on display
Now that you are here

Like the springtime wind through the trees in May
Like a song on the breeze you came my way

I feel a gentle rain from warmer skies
I always welcome this time of year
My life will be forever spring
Now that you are here
Forever In Levi Jeans (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4415)

People like to talk
About your two-step dance, it seems
But with me their talk don't walk
I don't mind if they take a glance
You'll look good in honky tonk scenes
Forever in Levi jeans

Now, sugar is always sweet
Like honey dancin' to a honky tonk beat
If you wanna be a country queen
Say, that's OK with me
As long as you will be
Forever in Levi jeans

- instrumental -

Let's go dancin' tonight
On slow dances I'll hold you tight
Then we'll set the floor on fire
Might create a scene
Darlin', you're my one desire
No room for anyone in between

People like to talk
About your two-step dance, it seems
But with me their talk don't walk
I don't mind if they take a glance
You'll look good in honky tonk scenes
Forever in Levi jeans
Remember Texas (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4416)

Now son, remember Texas always
It will make your dreams come true
Extend the cowboy code to others
And they will do the same for you
You don't have to be a movie star
Your cowboy life has just begun
Just be true to Texas always, son
Remember Texas, remember Texas
And you'll be a favorite Texas son

Now son, always do what is right
All you do is follow the golden rule
Be truthful when you're out of sight
And the Texas sun will shine on you
Son, don't do anything that's wrong
Just be courageous, bold and strong
Just be true to Texas always, son
Remember Texas, remember Texas
And you'll be a favorite Texas son

Now son, with hands working hard
And your feet in boots standing tall
Folks will give you their high regard
And you'll get up every time you fall
These words, son, will bring you joy
Now, remember to be a good cowboy
Just be true to Texas always, son
Remember Texas, remember Texas
And you'll be a favorite Texas son
Well Pardon Me (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4417)

You left me and left me broken hearted
You left me and told me to forget
You thought that you could live without me
Well pardon me, but you don't seem happy yet

Pardon me, but your pain was not my cause
Pardon me, there were no unkind words I said
You thought that you could live without me
Well pardon me, but you've got a broken heart instead

- instrumental -

You say you're sorry you made me blue, darlin'
You say you want to come back now
You thought that you could live without me
Well pardon me, but it's too late, you broke your vow

Pardon me, but your pain was not my cause
Pardon me, there were no unkind words I said
You thought that you could live without me
Well pardon me, but you've got a broken heart instead
Rio Grande Lady (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2007) (song#4418)

An adobe covered in whitewash by the border line
A garden of cactus and hills of ponderosa pine
There I wandered where purple sage and avocado grow
Down a hot and dusty Juarez road

Old wooden wheels warped by the Mexican sun
Cracked adobe walls where lizards playfully run
I sit on the porch and wonder how it all began
I guess I came down here to be a maverick man

I pick my guitar strings and watch the sun go down
I could ride away but I think I'll stay in Juarez town
Rio Grande lady, sing a lovers song for me
Rio Grande lady, with you forever I will be

Candle lights glow on Spanish guitars at night
Bare footed children dance in the moonlight bright
Here Coronado came to conquer and stay a spell
Here my heart was conquered, that I know so well

Time moves on but my movin' on is done
Unsaddle my pony and let him loose to run
Rio Grande lady, sing a lovers song for me
Rio Grande lady, with you forever I will be
I Found Me A Treasure (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4419)

I found me a treasure
A veritable fortune, it seems
It's of a meritable measure
Of a treasure in dreams

Once I was poor
With nothing to spend
Now I'm sure my pockets hold millions
All I have to do is pretend

I dream of night dreams in the daylight
In spite of my schemes, I'm doin' alright

I don't have a Texas oil man's bank account
But I'm frank when I say, that I can surmount
I found me a treasure to help me get by
I measure my dreams and try not to cry

- instrumental -

I've heard and seen that the love of money is evil
So I get all my green from the forest primeval
That way it's as free as the birds up there flying
Someday my eyes won't be blurred with this crying

I don't have a Texas oil man's bank account
But I'm frank when I say, that I can surmount
I found me a treasure to help me get by
I measure my dreams and try not to cry
Warm Texas Winds (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4420)

Warm Texas winds that blow gently
Gulf of Mexico in our sight
Some things seem to never change
From day to day
We had good times when we were young
And now my saddle and spurs are hung
Darlin', you and I have earned this Texas day

Let's ride down to South Padre
We'll watch seagulls and listen to their call
We'll visit with old friends down on that Texas shore
But if you change your mind
We can go there any old time
These warm Texas winds will blow just as before

- instrumental -

We'll get there before the snow birds from up north
Come down and get all the campsites that are good
They always come to where the Texas winds are fair
I suppose they get tired of snowy weather
And I suppose there ain't much for them to do
When those winter winds blow so cold up there

Warm Texas winds that blow gently
Gulf of Mexico in our sight
Some things seem to never change
From day to day
We had good times when we were young
And now my saddle and spurs are hung
Darlin', you and I have earned this Texas day
Old Mule Skinner (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4421)

Mule train, mule train, pullin' so slow
Mule train, mule train, so tired I know
One of these days I'm gonna be movin' on
Boss man's gonna miss this old mule skinner when I'm gone

Mule train, mule train, pull those logs around the bend
Mule train, mule train, one more time and do it again
One of these days I won't be found around
Don't look for me, I'll be homeward bound

Mule train, mule train, pullin' so slow
Mule train, mule train, so tired I know
One of these days I'm gonna be movin' on
Boss man's gonna miss this old mule skinner when I'm gone

There's just one place I'd love to see
Where the pace is slow as slow can be
In those Blue Ridge mountains I'd spend my time
By a creek under a bridge drinkin' sweet sweet wine

And when I die don't pine for me
Just bury me by a tall pine tree
I won't hear tired old mules when they whine
Cause I won't be an old mule skinner when I die

I'm gettin' tired, I'm almost in my grave
I've given and given and gave and gave
There ain't nothin' else for me to crave
I've just been an old mule skinner slave

Mule train, mule train, pullin' so slow
Mule train, mule train, so tired I know
One of these days I'm gonna be movin' on
Boss man's gonna miss this old mule skinner when I'm gone
Boss man's gonna miss this old mule skinner when I'm gone
It's Been So Long (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4422)

It's been a year since you were here
And I'm lonely for you, dear
It's been so long since you were mine
The case I'm in is so severe
I wonder if the end is near
It's been so long since you were mine

I'm gonna keep writin' letters til I know that you've replied
Then if things are better, maybe these tears of mine will dry

It's been a year since you were here
And I'm lonely for you, dear
It's been so long since you were mine

The rain is startin' to pour, and the clock is readin' four
It's been so long since you were mine
My dreams have up and flown for the only love I've known
It's been so long since you were mine

I'm gonna keep writin' letters to the only address I know
I might become a debtor and owe the postal service dough

It's been a year since you were here
And I'm lonely for you, dear
It's been so long since you were mine

I've lost my bride, lost my pride
I'm like jerky that's been dried
It's been so long since you were mine

I've been feelin' like a clown
Like a king who's lost his crown
It's been so long since you were mine

I'm gonna keep writin' letters til I run out of ink
I'm gonna write 'em on paper colored blue instead of pink

It's been a year since you were here
And I'm lonely for you, dear
It's been so long since you were mine
Plain Jane Blues (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4423)

I was born in Georgia in a pauper's shack
City folks had what poor country girls lack
Georgia dirt roads taught me how to cry
Wind in a weeping willow was my lullaby
I've got the plain Jane blues
Oh, mama, I've got 'em down to my plain Jane shoes

I heard a train whistle blow and I had to go
Oh, mama, don't you know
You raised a daughter who's never gonna lose
The plain Jane blues

My daddy was a ditch digger and my mama, dear
Well, she wasn't bigger than a corn stalk ear
My boyfriend was poor and like a worn out joke
It's a cryin' shame when you're born stone broke
I've got the plain Jane blues
Oh, mama, I've got 'em down to my plain Jane shoes
 
I heard a train whistle blow and I had to go
Oh, mama, don't you know
You raised a daughter who's never gonna lose
The plain Jane blues

Well, there was only one place I heard was blessed
So, I took a west bound train to find the Texas best
But everybody there was at the rodeo
And I couldn't go cause I had no dough
Oh, mama, don't you know
You raised a daughter who's never gonna lose
The plain Jane blues
From This Wagon Train (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4424)

I've seen Buffalo soldiers on the march
I've seen Comanches when they roam
I've seen deserts that's dry and parched
And I've seen the last of my old home

Now my lifeline is two thousand miles of wagon tracks
And in my lifetime I doubt if I'll ever be comin' back
From this wagon train
From this wagon train
From this wagon train

I'm on a search for gold that just may be to no avail
I feel the bump and lurch rollin' down this wagon trail
It's too far ahead to have my destination in my sight
I hope these wagon treads don't pass it in the night

From this wagon train, I see the wheels a-turnin'
From this wagon train, I feel my dreams a-burnin'
From this wagon train, I know there's no returnin'
From this wagon train, I'm a-yearnin' for the gold

And if by chance I find a woman along the trail someday
I'll ask her to be my little woman over in Cal-i-forn-i-a

From this wagon train, I see the wheels a-turnin'
From this wagon train, I feel my dreams a-burnin'
From this wagon train, I know there's no returnin'
From this wagon train, I'm a-yearnin' for the gold
Armani Suits And Wrangler Jeans (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4425)

From a Rolls Royce to a cowboy, I had to make a change
From a phony to a pony, saddled up and ridin' the range
From movie stars, discos and bars to cottonwood trees
There's a lot of lies and truth between
Armani suits and Wrangler jeans

The lifestyle I was livin' didn't allow for cowboy boots
And Gucci shoes just didn't fit in with rodeo chutes
I traded my gold plated shades and short term gains
For the cowboy life and I don't need that strife again

From a Rolls Royce to a cowboy, I had to make a change
From a phony to a pony, saddled up and ridin' the range
From movie stars, discos and bars to cottonwood trees
There's a lot of lies and truth between
Armani suits and Wrangler jeans

The tan on my face comes from west Texas sunlight
My bar stool is now a log around the campfire at night
Just look in my eyes and there you'll see no disguise
I learned to cook bacon and beans under Texas skies

From a Rolls Royce to a cowboy, I had to make a change
From a phony to a pony, saddled up and ridin' the range
From movie stars, discos and bars to cottonwood trees
There's a lot of lies and truth between
Armani suits and Wrangler jeans
Back To Texas With Love (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4426)

Back to Texas with love, I ride to you
No place is as good as beside of you
I traveled the west and learned a thing or two
Now, I must return, it's true
Back to Texas with love

The places I've seen, faces friendly and mean
There's one face I must see, I know
So, I'll swallow my pride
Untie my pony and ride
Back to Texas to one I love so
Where I'll beg to be your Cowboy Joe

- instrumental -

So, I'll swallow my pride
Untie my pony and ride
Back to Texas to one I love so
Where I'll beg to be your Cowboy Joe

From Texas I rode away with the wind
But then I realized just what I had been
A coward with empty dreams to speak of
Now I must return like a lonesome dove
Back to Texas with love
Let Me Buy You A Sasparilla (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2007) (song#4427)

Let me buy you a sasparilla
On this hot El Paso day
We'll stroll around the villa
And laugh our cares away

And if you want to ride
Down to the Rio Grande
I'll get the ponies untied
And by the Rio we'll land

We'll stop to pick flowers by the trail
And I'll place one upon your heart
Another flower I'll keep without fail
As a token that we will never part

- instrumental -

Let me buy you a sasparilla
On this hot El Paso day
We'll stroll around the villa
And laugh our cares away

And if you want to ride
Down to the Rio Grande
I'll get the ponies untied
And by the Rio we'll land

We'll stop to pick flowers by the trail
And I'll place one upon your heart
Another flower I'll keep without fail
As a token that we will never part
Texas Moon (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2007) (song#4428)

Texas moon, I see you wearing your ten gallon hat
You must think your gold is big and things like that
I know you've been hangin' around forever and a day
But now, Texas moon, you're not as big as people say

Texas moon, I know you've got some hardy power
You pull up the tides and lovers' hearts devour
Texas moon, you never misses with your kisses
But your splendor isn't all that makes love tender

- instrumental -

Texas moon, I know you've got some hardy power
You pull up the tides and lovers' hearts devour
Texas moon, you never misses with your kisses
But your splendor isn't all that makes love tender

Texas moon, I know what your plans are
Just the same as woman and man's are
So, go ahead and tell your tall Texas lies
Cause long after your golden lovelight dies
Her Texas heart and mine will be in love
At The End Of The Trail (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2007) (song#4429)

Up where the Sierras are rugged and dark
Gold sparkles in the stream at a gold digger's run
Then there is heard the unmistakable bark
Of a 44 bullet that's cold from a hair trigger gun

Put on the dead man's best suit and new tie
Bury him in his graveyard boots and goodbye
The deed's done and there's no one to wail
I'll meet the law at the end of the trail

At the end of the trail
At the end of the trail
Just like the Sierras are rugged and dark
In the stream at a gold digger's run
I'll run out of fortune and hear the bark
From a lawman's 44 hair trigger gun

Put on my best suit and my dead man's tie
Bury me in my graveyard boots and goodbye
The deed's done and there's no one to wail
I'll meet the law at the end of the trail

At the end of the trail
At the end of the trail
Just like the Sierras are rugged and dark
In the stream at a gold digger's run
I'll run out of fortune and hear the bark
From a lawman's 44 hair trigger gun
At the end of the trail
His Daddy Is The Dusty Road (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2007) (song#4430)

He said his daddy is the dusty road
I heard him say his mama is the wind
I found out his brothers are the mountains
And his sisters live where the ocean waves begin
I know he said he'd never settle down
Cause none of them would take care of him

He said he would stop to thank the sunshine
That kept him warm today
He thanked me for my tenderness
And said it almost made him stay
He said that he could learn to love me
Until the end of time
But settlin' down was not as strong
As was the leavin' on his mind

- instrumental -

He said that more than once a day
His heart was tempted by my touch
He said that no one else could be the one
That he could learn to love as much
But he didn't want to leave me
With empty promises and dreams
So, that's the reason why he left me
I watched him pass from off the scene

He said his daddy is the dusty road
I heard him say his mama is the wind
I found out his brothers are the mountains
And his sisters live where the ocean waves begin
On A Golden Shore (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2007) (song#4431)

My world was blue, my heart was too
I didn't know what to do
My love had gone, a sad sad song
And I was feeling so alone

Then one day I sailed away
I couldn't take it anymore
I went to where the air was fair
And landed on a golden shore

Palm trees were swaying, breezes saying
You've found what you came for
The sand was warm, your lips were warm
Your eyes said, please adore

The sky is blue, my heart feels new
Now, I will stay here evermore
I bless the day I sailed away
And found you on a golden shore

- instrumental -

Palm trees were swaying, breezes saying
You've found what you came for
The sand was warm, your lips were warm
Your eyes said please adore

The sky is blue, my heart feels new
Now, I will stay here evermore
I bless the day I sailed away
And found you on a golden shore
King Of Broken Hearts (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2007) (song#4432)

Well, it sounds like the game is over
Nothing worked out as we planned
I thought we'd be rolling in clover
I know our friends won't understand

Today is a day of sorrow
You're still the queen of hearts
I've already seen tomorrow
I'll be the king of broken hearts

Our love had its chance, dear
It's hard to know why a quarrel starts
It's the end of romance, dear
For the king and queen of hearts

- instrumental -

Our love had its chance, dear
It's hard to know why a quarrel starts
It's the end of romance, dear
For the king and queen of hearts

Today is a day of sorrow
You're still the queen of hearts
I've already seen tomorrow
I'll be the king of broken hearts

I've already seen tomorrow
I'll be the king of broken hearts
Lake Travis And Austin And Cold Lone Star Beer (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2007) (song#4433)

The bluebirds are singin', bluegills are springin'
All over Lake Travis at fireflies tonight
It's the best lake in the whole Lone Star State
If you wanna go fishin' in the moonlight

My honey and I don't need to get high
On anything more than Hill Country woods
We fell in love deep on old Caney creek
That cowgirl's got beauty under her hood

- instrumental -

Just give me a guitar and a sweet Texas girl
And a cane fishin' pole in the moonlight
Go down to Lake Travis and give it a whirl
Bluegills are jumpin' at fireflies tonight

Tomorrow in Austin, big fish fry they're tossin'
There'll be bluegills and catfish up to our ears
Man, we've got it made right here in the shade
Lake Travis and Austin and cold Lone Star beer

Tomorrow in Austin, big fish fry they're tossin'
There'll be bluegills and catfish up to our ears
Man, we've got it made right here in the shade
Lake Travis and Austin and cold Lone Star beer

Lake Travis and Austin and cold Lone Star beer
Livin' On Pickup Truck Drive (Larry W. Jones 02/15/2007) (song#4434)

Well, I'm not a rich man livin' in a penthouse dive
I'm just a poor cowboy livin' on Pickup Truck Drive
I work longer every day than the old nine to five
I'm just a poor cowboy livin' on Pickup Truck Drive

I'm not a rich man waitin' for his ship to arrive
I'm just a poor cowboy who's tryin' to stay alive
Doin' each day what I know is right is what I strive
I'm just a poor cowboy livin' on Pickup Truck Drive

- instrumental -

I know there's rich folks shoppin' on Rodeo Drive
Buyin' up everything every rich man can contrive
But I've got more that gold and on her love I thrive
I'm just a poor cowboy livin' on Pickup Truck Drive
Yeah, I'm just a poor cowboy
Livin' it up on Pickup Truck Drive
Under The Call Of Love (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2007) (song#4435)

A rich man's chances of getting a pretty girl's glances
Are better than mine, I know
He's got the money, but you better look out now, honey
His love is just for show

He'll give you love that's less and under the call of love
In time he'll just make you cry
He'll give you love that's less and under the call of love
His love's not as true as mine

- instrumental -

When we met at the dance, I could tell at a glance
That your high style would end up a lower destiny
I could offer you true love, but I couldn't get above
The lowest limb that grew on his tall money tree

He'll give you love that's less and under the call of love
In time he'll just make you cry
He'll give you love that's less and under the call of love
His love's not as true as mine

He'll give you love that's less and under the call of love
His love's not as true as mine
Villa So Grand (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2007) (song#4436)

Above the village stands a villa so grand
Far up the hill from this cottage of mine
I still love her more than any man can
But a rich man said that he loved her too
She's above the village in a villa so grand

I know he bought her jewelry and rings
Fancy dresses made for royalty queens
Everything she needs is at her command
Even his love bought with money of green
Up above the village in a villa so grand

- instrumental -

How, under the sun, could she be happy there
I know I'm the one with true love to share
I pray that some day she'll wake up and find
That happiness is not in a villa so grand
And that I still wait in this village of mine

I pray that some day she'll wake up and find
That happiness is not in a villa so grand
And that I still wait in this village of mine
Outbound Side Of Town (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2007) (song#4437)

I'm tired of all my grievin'
I'm wired for all-time leavin'
Don't bother wasting all your time
So, don't call and waste your dime
I'm headed for the outbound side of town

What started good somehow turned bad
You tried to draw a big picture of every little flaw 
You know that's true and it's so sad
This big line I draw is drawn by the last little straw

I'm headed for the outbound side of town
I'll be on the next outbound greyhound
My dreams are dyin', I can't stop cryin'
I'm headed for the outbound side of town

- instrumental -

I'm headed for the outbound side of town
I'll be on the next outbound greyhound
My dreams are dyin', I can't stop cryin'
I'm headed for the outbound side of town

By mornin' I'll be halfway from Texas to Tennessee
A halfway love was never good for you or me
Before another tear that's fallin' hits the ground
I'm headed for the outbound side of town

Before another tear that's fallin' hits the ground
I'm headed for the outbound side of town
Nashville Neon Moody Moon (Larry W. Jones 02/17/2007) (song#4438)

When the sun is sinkin' in Nashville town
My thinkin' sounds like a honky tonk tune
When my drinkin' world comes crashin' down
I fall under a Nashville neon moody moon

I know that I'm not the first lonely
Old cowboy to lose his one and only
There's other cowboys in this saloon
Under a Nashville neon moody moon

- instrumental -

I know the reason why a neon moon is blue
It comes up when love's treason's through
Leon always plays that steel guitar tune
Under a Nashville neon moody moon

Every song the jukebox plays, I find
Plays along with questions on my mind
Why you left me alone and so broody
Under a Nashville neon moody moon

Every song the jukebox plays, I find
Plays along with questions on my mind
Why you left me alone and so broody
Under a Nashville neon moody moon
You I Love (Larry W. Jones 02/17/2007) (song#4439)

You I love, more than the prairie morning so still
More than the purple sage on the hill
More than the western skies of blue, you I love

A heart I have, beating strong for this situation
And lips I have, meeting yours in eager expectation

Darling, you are mine under the western sky ablaze
You please me in over a thousand ways
Let me saddle your pony, get your hat and gloves
And come ride with me, for it's you I love

- instrumental -

A heart I have, beating strong for this situation
And lips I have, meeting yours in eager expectation

You I love
Darling, you are mine under the western sky ablaze
You please me in over a thousand ways
Let me saddle your pony, get your hat and gloves
And come ride with me, for it's you I love
Roy Rogers (Larry W. Jones 02/18/2007) (song#4440)

The thing I remember most when I was a child
Was the matinee movies of when the west was wild
Mama's lettin' me go to the movie show was routine
To see Roy Rogers ridin' Trigger, a golden palomino
Across the silver screen

Saturday morning I'd get in line for the big event
The girl in the admission booth charged fifteen cents
All week long I had to go to school but I would dream
Of Roy Rogers ridin' Trigger, a golden palomino
Across the silver screen

Roy Rogers rode a golden palomino and he was my hero
And I guess you know he's still the same, it seems
I've grown older now, but that doesn't matter anyhow
My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen

My brother and I would ride stick ponies around our home
Mama said we were like wild Indians on the movie screen
But mama knew that wherever we kids would ride and roam
We were just Roy Rogers chasin' bad guys off the scene

Roy Rogers rode a golden palomino and he was my hero
And I guess you know he's still the same, it seems
I've grown older now, but that doesn't matter anyhow
My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen

My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen 
Bob Wills And Texas On My Mind (Larry W. Jones 02/18/2007) (song#4441)

The juke box brings memories
That hover around my heart
It makes me long for Texas
Like a love that's torn apart

Some sweet day when fiddles play
I'll hear that Bob Wills song
And then I'll ride back to Texas
Cause Texas is where I belong

Texas, oh Texas, your skies of blue
And an old Bob Wills song
Keeps Texas close behind
Texas, oh Texas, I'm missing you
When I hear Bob Wills play Texas State of Mind

- instrumental -

Texas, oh Texas, your skies of blue
And an old Bob Wills song
Keeps Texas close behind
Texas, oh Texas, I'm missing you
When I hear Bob Wills play Texas State of Mind

Other loves have called to me
Other places have spoken lovingly
But it seems to always be
That Texas, oh Texas I find
That old Bob Wills' fiddlin' keeps Texas on my mind
Texas Sea Cruise (Larry W. Jones 02/24/2007) (song#4442)

[guitar solo][spoken]

Well, I was gettin' a case of the blues, 
so darlin' said, change the pace, cowboy, 
let's round up a cruise. That sounded mighty fine, 
so we corraled a Carnival line. 
To lose my frown and have some fun, 
we cruised in the pickup down to Galveston. 
To meet any situation, I dressed for the occasion. 
Cowboy boots, shiny shark skin western suit, 
bolo tie, stetson hat and things like that. 
I wore my long tail yellow duster 
to the emergency station muster. 
It matched the life jackets real nice. 
Under my duster I packed my long barrel .45's 
and my silver bullets. 
Now I'll admit I didn't have a permit, 
but I'd heard they shot clay pidgeons 
off the fantail with a lot of pull-its.

We left the dock just fine. 
My pocket clock showed right on time, 
cruisin' the Gulf of Mexico on the Ecstasy. 
I just call the Gulf the "Texas Sea". 
Off we sailed. 
We docked at the dock in Yucatan at Progresso. 
Darlin' asked if I wanted to go to Merida 
and I said I guess so. 
We boarded a van and headed west. 
Now, I kept seein' dark eagles flyin' around, 
some on barb wire fences, 
some on the ground not lookin' the best. 
They showed us Merida, 
tried to sell us all kinds of stuff but I said no, 
just find that van and ride that rough road 
back to Progresso. 
I asked about them dark eagles 
and darlin' said come to your senses, so I did. 
On the way back I shot them buzzards 
off the barb wire fences.

Well, that night was formal night, 
so I thought I'd do it right. 
Darlin' said I looked cute in my cowboy boots 
and shiny shark skin western suit. 
They didn't have no steer horns 
to hang my stetson hat, so I just kept it on 
and that was that. 
The mater-dee said the special 
was stuffed duck and wine 
from the south of France. 
But I wasn't gonna get stuck when I dine, 
so I didn't take no chance. 
I said, just bring me a big 'ol steak here 
and a longneck Lone Star beer. 
Make it a porterhouse 
and make it well done on the flame. 
Darlin' said she'd have the same. 
I had longneck Lone Stars 
'til they started cleanin', 
and when I got up and the whole ship was leanin'. 

After supper, we went to the deck 
that was upper to see the entertainment. 
I told darlin', let's get a front row seat 
and she thought that was neat. 
It was "Extreme Country", a wild west show 
in the purple sage. How it happened, I don't know, 
but half way through they threw me off the stage. 
The audience was great, 
said I was the best part of the show. 
Darlin' found me at the Old Shipwreck bar 
with a new longneck Lone Star.

Next day we docked at the dock in Cozumel. 
Man, it was hotter 'n, well 
let's just say it wasn't too cool. 
The captain could tell I was disappointed 
in Cozumel. It was flatter 'n a flapjack 
and ugly as sin. I swore I'd never go there again. 
There weren't no mountains 
and the lower deck was taller that the trees, 
but they did have good soda fountains 
and a balmy breeze.

On the way back, I signed up 
for skeet shootin' off the fantail. 
Shootin' clay pidgeons would be neat, 
I could tell. They passed out 
twelve gauge shotguns to each contender, 
but I never was a big spender, 
so I opened my duster and 
twirled both long barrel 45's. 
I was first in line and I turned them clay pidgeons 
to dust in the brine. Every time they said pull-it, 
I nailed it with a silver bullet. 
Darlin' gave me a big 'ol kiss, 
said cowboy you never miss, 
you shoot straight as an arrow. 
I said, darlin' it's easy, 
them clay pidgeons are the same size 
as as a Texas sparrow. By the time it was over, 
both pull-its were broken, 
both barrels were smokin' 
and everybody was mad 
'cause that was all the clay pidgeons they had. 
I was kinda glad when we docked at the dock 
back in Galveston.

The Carnival folks started out real nice 
but now they were just like ice 
and said, don't even THINK of bookin' 
another Carnival cruise even if you could. 
So, darlin' and I got in the pickup truck 
and cruised on up to Kingwood. 
I said, darlin', next time we'll round up a cruise 
on Royal Caribbean, maybe that Texaribbean special. 
I'll dress for the occasion. 
Cowboy boots, shiny shark skin western suit, 
bolo tie, stetson hat and things like that. 
Long tail yellow duster, 
long barrel .45's, silver bullets.....
Rover In A Rodeo Of Love (Larry W. Jones 02/25/2007) (song#4443)

I'm a rover in a rodeo of love
I'm a cowboy
Bronco buster
I'm never late
When they open that gate, I just count to eight
And when it's over, I put on my trav'lin' duster
I'm a rover in a rodeo of love

I'm a polished performer in rodeo affairs, the kind
That's never confined
A drover in a pickup truck, solitaire
I'm a rover in a rodeo of love

Yeah, I'm a cowboy
You can blame me, flame me
But don't try to tame me
Cause I'm a rover in a rodeo of love

Real love I've never known, I move along
Love is somethin' they sing about in a song
I just ride to where the next rodeo starts
Tryin' to hide the subject of a broken heart

Yeah, I'm a cowboy
You can blame me, flame me
But don't try to tame me
Cause I'm a rover in a rodeo of love

I'm still at the top of the rodeo game
But since I lost you, I've never been the same
I'm a cowboy and a rodeo star
But I'd rather be somewhere where you are

Yeah, I'm a cowboy
You can blame me, flame me
But don't try to tame me
Cause I'm a rover in a rodeo of love
Give Me A Real Cowgirl (Larry W. Jones 02/25/2007) (song#4444)

Give me a Texas night
Give me a real cowgirl
One that's outta sight
And the rest you can leave to me

Give me a moon that's bright
In a starlit Texas night
And then you will see
That she'll give her heart to me

I'll give my pickup truck a honk
Then take her to a honky tonk
A real cowgirl she's gonna be

- instrumental -

Give me a moon that's bright
In a starlit Texas night
And then you will see
That she'll give her heart to me

I know what I'm talkin' about
A hot Texas night, no doubt
Give me a real cowgirl
And the rest you can leave to me
Just Give Me A Cowboy Hat (Larry W. Jones 02/25/2007) (song#4445)

I've seen folks fussin' and moanin'
Schemin', screamin' and things like that
But I've never been prone to throwin' stones
Just give me a cowboy hat

Some find it's choice to drive a Rolls Royce
And own the baseball team at bat
But that life I'll chuck with my pickup truck
Just give me a cowboy hat

- instrumental -

A place that's not confined is all I ask for
A Texas state of mind that makes me smile
A small ranch house where love is the decor
And the mailbox is on the road about a mile

Some like to make the dough, I make the rodeo
That's where the real life is at
Sometimes it gets rowdy, but boy howdy
Just give me a cowboy hat
Just give me a cowboy hat
Let Me See A Sign (Larry W. Jones 02/25/2007) (song#4446)

Darlin', let me see a sign
That your little heart beats with mine
Darlin', let me see a sign
That will last until the end of time

Darlin', all my love is just for you
There's no rust 'cause it's brand new
I'll do what you want me to
Darlin', let me see a sign

Let me kiss your lips
Touch your fingertips
Hold your hand in mine
Show you love divine

Give me a trail to guide me
Let me see you ride beside me
Darlin', let me see a sign

- instrumental -

Let me kiss your lips
Touch your fingertips
Hold your hand in mine
Show you love divine

Give me a trail to guide me
Let me see you ride beside me
Darlin', let me see a sign
Cowboy Jack And Cowboy Joe (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4447)

Two rode out three years ago
Cowboy Jack and Cowboy Joe
They set out for parts unknown
To pan for gold and bring it home
In forty nine Cowboy Jack was doin' fine
So he saddled up for home one day
Now Cowboy Joe was a friend of Jack
So Joe asked Jack to take this message back

Give this letter to Bonnie, Jack
And tell her it's from me
That Texas girl gives my heart a whirl
I'm sure you must agree
Now Jack, don't you forget
That Bonnie I love well
Tell dear Bonnie that I'm pannin' yet
So we can hear a wedding bell

For Cowboy Joe another year had passed
Before he had enough gold to ride
Joe saddled up and rode the trail at last
To make Texas Bonnie his bride
But Cowboy Joe was fit to be buried
Cause his Bonnie, Jack had married
All broken hearted, Cowboy Joe departed
Wishin' he could take these words back

Give this letter to Bonnie, Jack
And tell her it's from me
That Texas girl gives my heart a whirl
I'm sure you must agree
Now Jack, don't you forget
That Bonnie I love well
Tell dear Bonnie that I'm pannin' yet
So we can hear a wedding bell

Well, that's the story that's been told, oh
Of Cowboy Jack and Cowboy Joe
Jones Of The Dow (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4448)

Dismayed, betrayed, tormented endlessly
Pain, no gain, I can't explain the hurt on me
I thought I'd found a gold mine
But the gold was the kind for fools, you see
Dismayed, betrayed, tormented endlessly
 
I was told that she had the motherload
I was told that she was the Jones of the Dow
But let me tell you, my balloon was blowed
Cause she had the bones of a Jersey cow

- instrumental -

I was told that she had the motherload

I thought I'd found a gold mine
But the gold was the kind for fools, you see
Dismayed, betrayed, tormented endlessly

I was told that she was the Jones of the Dow
Jones of the Dow

Raining Sunny Days (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4449)

How can it be raining when skies are blue
When I tell you, then you'll know it's true
Don't you laugh now when I'm through saying
It's raining sunny days when I'm with you

The sun is up, dear, that I can see
I see sunbeams falling to the ground
It's raining sunny days for you and me
Any dark or bright day you're around

Cloudy skies have disappeared, dear
I'm near to singing out with song
It's raining sunny days of cheer, dear
For a love that's growing strong

- instrumental -

It's raining sunny days of cheer, dear
For a love that's growing strong
Sunny Arkansas Morning (Larry W. Jones 02/26/20070 (song#4450)

Well, it's a sunny Arkansas morning
Afternoon's gonna be sunny too
Yeah, it's a sunny Arkansas morning
Afternoon's gonna be sunny too

Well, I never did like rainy weather
I would run from every cloud I saw
Yeah, I never did like rainy weather
I would run from every cloud I saw
But now all I see is sunny weather
And I'm gonna ask your Ma and Pa
If they don't mind as to whether
I take you away from Arkansas

Sun, keep shining instead of rain
Sun, keep shining instead of rain
I'm gonna take you back to Texas
Never gonna see Arkansas again

- instrumental -

Well, I saved my nickles and saved my dimes
Yeah, I saved my nickles and saved my dimes
I saved 'em for a cold rainy day
But when I saw you, the sun was climbin'
The sun chased the clouds away

But now all I see is sunny weather
And I'm gonna ask your Ma and Pa
If they don't mind as to whether
I take you away from Arkansas

Sun, keep shining instead of rain
Sun, keep shining instead of rain
I'm gonna take you back to Texas
Never gonna see Arkansas again
Gonna Float Down A River (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4451)

Gonna float down a river
Float down it all day long
Cause my love's an Indian giver
And she done me wrong

Gonna float down to the ocean
Sail out across the blue
Cause my heart has the notion
That I'm through with you

I remember the time when love words were spoken
My heart was sublime, and grey days were few
But now the words don't rhyme and the song is broken
Love words unspoken, because of you

- instrumental -

Gonna float down a river
Float down it all day long
Cause my love's an Indian giver
And she done me wrong

Gonna float down to the ocean
Sail out across the blue
Cause my heart has the notion
That I'm through with you
Summer Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4452)

Once a bluebird loved a summer rose
But his song turned despondent eventually
Oh, my summer rose, your blush I see
But I cannot stay, for winter's near
Oh, my summer rose, my lovely flower
From your bower I must fly, my dear

Came the springtime and the bluebird returned
For his summer rose his poor heart yearned
From a tree he sang his summer song in vain
For his summer rose he could not find again
The winter snows had come and oh, the pity
There lay froze, the summer rose, once pretty

Goodbye, summer rose, the sun is shining
For you, my love, my broken heart is pining
Now summer's gone, winter snows' domain
Perhaps another spring and a seed will grow
And I will sing to my summer rose again
Buenos Noches Senorita (Larry W. Jones 02/26/20070 (song#4453)

A full Texas moon is shining on old El Paso
Its beams are lining banks where the Rio flows
Whippoorwills are calling from the valley below
El Paso night has come and we must part

But senorita, let me hold you in one embrace
My heart with yours has found a resting place
A full Texas moon lights the love in your face
Like the reflection of a mirror of your heart

Bright Texas stars shine from heavens above
My heart no longer must pine for the one I love
Cottonwood trees invite the cooing turtle dove
To come to her nest as the shadows creep

Listen to the stillness of the Texas desert air
Know that flowers grow even in darkness there
Oh why, my darling, leave this place so rare
Though now has arrived the time of sleep

Buenos noches, senorita, the shadows fall
Bright Texas stars above will be watching all
See the dying embers of the Texas sun's glow
Listen to the night winds as they whisper low 

Buenos noches, senorita, good night
Buenos noches, senorita, my love
Buenos noches, senorita, my love
High Trail And The Low (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4454)

Darlin', how can I forget you
Darlin', how can I forget you
I can't forget what we vowed that day
To love one another come what may
And we vowed we'd never say goodbye

Now it seems that was so long ago
How dreams are forgotten, I'll never know
There's no use to ask or wonder why
This adios and goodbye I offer with a sigh
Darlin', how did we let a good love die

Though this is the end of giving
Could it also be the end of living

Darlin', you'll be riding the high trail
But I can tell I'll be riding the low
The time has come that we be parted
Broken hearted, that I know
So, I beg one kiss before we go
On the high trail and the low

- instrumental -

Though this is the end of giving
Could it also be the end of living

Darlin', you'll be riding the high trail
But I can tell I'll be riding the low
The time has come that we be parted
Broken hearted, that I know
So, I beg one kiss before we go
On the high trail and the low
Date With A Honky Tonk Angel (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4455)

I've got a date with a honky tonk angel
Can't wait to meet her at Joe's at seven
I've got a date with a honky tonk angel
Feel like I'm goin' to honky tonk heaven

She'll be doin' the two step beside me
There's nothin' she's ever denied me
She's a honky tonk angel to guide me
Feel like I'm goin' to honky tonk heaven

We'll listen to that old juke box ring out
When those good 'ol Texas boys sing out
And old Bob Wills' playboys swing out
Honky tonk angel in honky tonk heaven

- instrumental -

We'll listen to that old juke box ring out
When those good 'ol Texas boys sing out
And old Bob Wills' playboys swing out
Honky tonk angel in honky tonk heaven

I've got a date with a honky tonk angel
Can't wait to meet her at Joe's at seven
I've got a date with a honky tonk angel
Feel like I'm goin' to honky tonk heaven
Old Grandfather Clock (Larry W. Jones 02/27/20070 (song#4454)

The old grandfather clock stood by the door
For ninety years it tocked and not one more
It was first wound the day of his first breath
And it wound down on the day of his death
That old grandfather clock was his pride
Faithfully it ticked and tocked until he died

Ninety years of faithful chiming
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock
His whole life eventually timing
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock
That was the way the clock would divide
Every minute of every day until he died

As a boy, he watched the pendulum swing to and fro
In childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know
The clock shared both his grief and his greatest joy
For one day it chimed out twelve twice at twenty four
That was the day he brought through the door his bride
And it never stopped chiming until the day he died

The clock rang an alarm at the stroke of midnight
An alarm that had never before been heard
It was a signal that the old man gave up the fight
And everybody knew without saying a word

Ninety years of faithful chiming
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock
His whole life eventually timing
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock
That was the way the clock would divide
Every minute of every day until he died
Gray Morning (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4455)

Slowly the night shadows disappear
And slowly the prairie is seen so clear
In among the hills a whippoorwill trills
Here in the light of a gray morning

Ever lighter the morning glows
Ever brighter the morning rose
From the night shadows and gloom
The morning rose bursts into bloom

But a gray morning has come
Though the sun is ascending
For the whippoorwill's song
Has sad notes in it blending

It tells of a yearning and longing
A message so heartless of warning
That a love is no more belonging
Here in the light of a gray morning

Slowly the night shadows disappear
And slowly the prairie is seen so clear
In among the hills a whippoorwill trills
Here in the light of a gray morning
Eight By Ten Face (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4456)

I've still got the eight by ten of when you were here
It's a treasure that I'll keep until the day I die
But there's no happiness in this eight by ten, dear
Because you took it all away when you said goodbye

Your hair looks just as gold as it did back then
Before love turned as cold as this eight by ten
But that love I just can't seem to erase
When I kiss your sweet eight by ten face

- instrumental -

Ever since that day when you broke my heart
There's been a river of tears from my eyes
It's been so long since we've been apart
But there's something that I've realized

Your hair looks just as gold as it did back then
Before love turned as cold as this eight by ten
But that love I just can't seem to erase
When I kiss your sweet eight by ten face

No, that love I just can't seem to erase
When I kiss your sweet eight by ten face
Galveston Harbor Lights (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4457)

Galveston harbor lights
Lit up the waves as you were leaving
Galveston harbor lights
Were there to watch you go
Now in dark Texas nights
I feel the waves of grieving
Under Galveston harbor lights
On the Gulf of Mexico

I guess I'll never know
Where you'll be when dawn is breaking
But this I'll ever know
My broken heart will be forever aching
No more kiss at night
No arms to hold me as before
No more sweet delight
On the gulf of Texas shore

Galveston harbor lights
Lit up the waves as you were leaving
Galveston harbor lights
Were there to watch you go
Now in dark Texas nights
I feel the waves of grieving
Under Galveston harbor lights
On the Gulf of Mexico
Hole In My Ace In The Hole (Larry W. Jones 02/27/20070 (song#4458)

I thought I had an ace in the hole
I thought I knew how to roll with the flow
So I took a gamble on a sure thing, as they say
But then I had to scramble just to get away

I know I played my cards right
But there was one thing I didn't know
She left me crying in the night
I had a hole in my ace in the hole

Sometimes love is like a one way street
But there's two ways that love can go
By the time I knew I felt the pain
It was like money down the drain
Through a hole in my ace in the hole

- instrumental -

Sometimes love is like a one way street
But there's two ways that love can go
By the time I knew I felt the pain
It was like money down the drain
Through a hole in my ace in the hole
 
Well, I thought I was a big time broker
But in love I was on the dole
Now I know I was just the big joker
With a hole in my ace in the hole
Anywhere In Texas (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4459)

Are you going to east Texas
Where the piney woods are green
I'd like to see the Big Thicket
Hear the crickets that I've seen

Are you going to far west Texas
Where El Paso meets the Rio Grande
I'd like to see El Paso and the Rio
If you would please hold my hand

Are you going to big Dallas
Where the cowboys say howdy do
I'd like to see 'ol Big-D
Take in a big 'ol rodeo or two

I'd like to go with you, baby
All around that lone star state
From Amarillo to Louisiana
From El Paso to Texarkana
Baby, anything it takes

- instrumental -

I'd like to go with you, baby
All around that lone star state
From Amarillo to Louisiana
From El Paso to Texarkana
Baby, anything it takes

If you're going anywhere in Texas
I know I'd like the view
Cause I'd go anywhere in Texas
Just so I could be with you
All By My Lonesome (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4460)

All by my lonesome in the daytime
All by my lonesome when it's night
Sitting all by my lonesome is no fun
Playing solitaire with a deck of fifty one
It just don't seem right

All by my lonesome with nothing else
Except a lonesome clock upon the shelf
It has a face that it can keep to itself
I'm all by my lonesome by myself 

- instrumental -

Sitting all by my lonesome is no fun
Playing solitaire with a deck of fifty one

All by my lonesome with nothing else
Except a lonesome clock upon the shelf
It has a face that it can keep to itself
I'm all by my lonesome by myself
Make Believe Rodeo (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4461)

I've got on my dressy cowboy boots
My shiny shark skin western suit
My wranger jeans, shirt and fancy bolo
I'm all duded up for a make believe rodeo

Now, I could go and play some pool
Over at Joe's Place I'd look kinda cool
But then they might think I'm a fool
All duded up for a make believe rodeo

So I'll just stay home and make believe
That there's a pretty cowgirl by my side
That way nobody will have to ask me why
Why I've got all these tears in my eyes

I'll just look at your old photograph
It's in my bill fold somewhere I know
But then I might see you laugh, because
I'm all duded up for a make believe rodeo

- instrumental -

So I'll just stay home and make believe
That there's a pretty cowgirl by my side
That way nobody will have to ask me why
Why I've got all these tears in my eyes

I'll just look at your old photograph
It's in my bill fold somewhere I know
But then I might see you laugh, because
I'm all duded up for a make believe rodeo
Precious Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4462)

A precious rose should grow
In the glow of morning light
Not under the smoky glow
Of a midnight neon light

A precious rose should feel
The touch of love that's real
Something not found in a bar
Or in strings of a steel guitar

But you are my precious rose
And I want everyone to know
No matter from where the glow
I love you, my precious rose

- instrumental -

But you are my precious rose
And I want everyone to know
No matter from where the glow
I love you, my precious rose
Old Memories Of You Are Hard To Hold (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4463)

Another night of crying will be over soon
Thank goodness for a day that's brand new
Another day of trying to escape the cold
Old memories of you are hard to hold

Memories are only seconds one by one
Memories of you are minutes of a song
Memories turn into hours once begun
My memories of you last all day long

I still have your memory inside my heart
Most of them are the color of pure gold
But my color's blue since we're apart
Old memories of you are hard to hold

- instrumental -

Memories are only seconds one by one
Memories of you are minutes of a song
Memories turn into hours once begun
My memories of you last all day long

I still have your memory inside my heart
Most of them are the color of pure gold
But my color's blue since we're apart
Old memories of you are hard to hold
Everything That Was Right Got Up And Left (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4464)

When into my lonely life you came
It was really something to proclaim
But now that both of us are apart
Both of us have a broken heart
And I proclaim that I'm to blame

Everything that was right got up and left
The best girl in the whole world is gone
I thought I was right but I'm by myself
Everything that was right got up and left
It's only right that I'm left here alone

What right does a man have to be right all the time
When all he might do is lose the one he adores
Now at night I feel like I've done some kind of crime
And I must be right because she left out the door

- instrumental -

What right does a man have to be right all the time
Now at night I feel like I've done some kind of crime

Everything that was right got up and left
The best girl in the whole world is gone
I thought I was right but I'm by myself
Everything that was right got up and left
It's only right that I'm left here alone
Most Of Me Loves Most Of You (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2007) (song#4465)

Darlin', most of me loves most of you
Mostly because I love all of you most of all
Darlin', my eyes are mostly fixed on you
And my heart mostly ticks for your loving call

I used to search from coast to coast
But finding love was like searching for a ghost
Then I met you and that's when I knew
Darlin', most of me loves most of you

Oh, I had heard many tender words
But something was always missing
Then a bluebird's tender song was heard
And I felt the splendor of your kissing

- instrumental -

Then a bluebird's tender song was heard
And I felt the splendor of your kissing

Darlin', most of me loves most of you
Mostly because I love all of you most of all
Darlin', my eyes are mostly fixed on you
And my heart mostly ticks for your loving call

I used to search from coast to coast
But finding love was like searching for a ghost
Then I met you and that's when I knew
Darlin', most of me loves most of you
All My Lone Stars Are Gone (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4466)

All the country stars are in the bars
And all my Lone Stars are gone
All the gang stopped by just to say hi
And talk over old times that are past
They got a bang out of it and so did I
Sharing my Lone Stars was a blast

When they all said bye, the fridge was dry
And I was getting ready to go to sleep alone
But the last song on the radio made me cry
All the country stars are in the bars
All the country stars are in the bars
And all my Lone Stars are gone

- instrumental -

I used to feel like the star in a bar
But I don't feel that way anymore
Now I stay at home with my Lone Stars
Cause night and day I miss you more

All the old gang are the country stars
I just tell them I've found somebody new
But I'm really talkin' bout my Lone Stars
Cause you're not here for me to talk to you

All the country stars are in the bars
And all my Lone Stars are gone
All My Blues Are Over Now (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4467)

Today you said you love me
And all my blues are over now
Never go away and leave me
That would not be true anyhow

Today you said there is no other
I will hold you to that sacred vow
Your love dispels my every bother
And all my blues are over now

- instrumental -

Today you said there is no other
I will hold you to that sacred vow
Your love dispels my every bother
And all my blues are over now
 
Say hello to all good fortune
I'll thank all creation somehow
It's good to know love has begun
And all my blues are over now
Yes, all my blues are over now

One Who Owns The Heart Of Me (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4468)

I could leave if I pleased
I could be as free as the breeze in the trees
But islands calling from the seven seas
Could never call sweet enough
For me to leave the one who owns the heart of me

There's guiding stars both large and small
There's far away islands with a siren call
But islands calling from the seven seas
Could never call sweet enough
For me to leave the one who owns the heart of me

- instrumental -

Trails that lead a man to roam
Ships that sail across the foam
Only a foolish person would I be
To leave what here is dear to me
And islands calling from the seven seas
Could never call sweet enough
For me to leave the one who owns the heart of me
Along The Brazos (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4469)

You and I grew up in Waco along the Brazos
We were happy friends back then with no load
We'd float down along the bend in the Brazos
And race each other back along the dusty road

I bought five acres along the Brazos
And we talked about our future plans
You were like the free flowing Brazos
And that's how your roaming began

- instrumental -

Now when I walk down along the Brazos
I think back of how things had been
How long must I walk along this dusty road
Before I'll see you coming round the bend

I built a ranch house on five acres
Down along the Brazos like I said
How long must I wait along the Brazos
Before you and I are wed

How long must I wait along the Brazos
Before you and I are wed
Purple Grows The Sage (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4470)

Purple grows the sage
Covered by morning dew
I'm in mourning, my darling
By the parting of you
But should we meet again
I'll beg you to be true
Purple grows the sage
Royal color of love we knew

Purple grows the sage
To remind me of royal love
The kind that can only be blessed
From skies above
The prairie stage is wide enough
For dreamers too
Purple grows the sage
Royal color of love we knew

Purple grows the sage
Wind waving every hour
Sweet is its perfume
Like a lovely prairie flower
Oh, please turn a page
And return to love true
Purple grows the sage
Royal color of love we knew
Forever In My Heart (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4471)

Darling, you will be forever in my heart
Even though I may be far away
The music of our song of love will start
The one, darling, that I sang to you

You will be forever in my heart
You will hear our song when skies are gray
Darling, just remember that I care
And you will see fair skies breaking through

- instrumental -

Every night before I go to bed
I repeat the lovers vows we said
And dreams in the night that come
I hold close though we're apart

When you and I meet again, dear
My same love will begin again, dear
And until that sweet rendezvous
Darling, you will be forever in my heart

Darling, you will be forever in my heart
Right On Time With Sweet Kisses (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4472)

You're always right on time with sweet kisses
Everytime I hold you in my arms
I enfold all your charms and beg you stay

You're always right on time with sweet kisses
My heart will never sound alarm
As long as you treat me in your sweet way

- instrumental -

You're always right on time with sweet kisses
My heart will never sound alarm
As long as you treat me in your sweet way

Since I found you, I no longer have to wait
The way that I used to do
You're always right on time with sweet kisses
It's great to be in love with you
Rambling Vine (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4473)

Ramble back to me, rambling vine
Ramble only to me, rambling vine
How I yearn to have your feet rambling by mine
Please return and ramble home to me, rambling vine

It's hard to believe that love is gone and done
That you have rambled to a new one instead of mine
There can never be love as true as mine under the sun
Please return and ramble home to me, rambling vine

- instrumental -

There can never be love as true as mine under the sun
Please return and ramble home to me, rambling vine

Ramble back to me, rambling vine
Ramble only to me, rambling vine
Please return and ramble home to me, rambling vine
The Face Of You (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4474)

Now that you've found somebody new
I'll have to stop my loving you
But I can't seem to find a way
To end a love that once was true

There's no one who I will ever find
Who could take the place of you
The one regret that will be mine
Is that I'll not forget the face of you

- instrumental -

There's no one who I will ever find
Who could take the place of you
The one regret that will be mine
Is that I'll not forget the face of you

The day you left my love behind
I lost someone I thought divine
How I regret my losing you
I'll not forget the face of you
I Don't Worry About Another Bridge To Burn (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007 ) (song#4475)

I was gettin' good at burnin' bridges that I crossed
I knew that I would have to burn more when I lost
But then I met you and my future took a good turn
Now I don't worry about another bridge to burn

Well, I set a lot of bridges afire and I moved on
Some of them burned higher but none too long
But then I met you and there's no way to return
Now I don't worry about another bridge to burn

- instrumental -

Well, I set a lot of bridges afire and I moved on
Some of them burned higher but none too long
But then I met you and there's no way to return
Now I don't worry about another bridge to burn

I've been crossed by too many loves untrue
All of my dreams were lost until I found you
Your love replaces those bridges of no return
Now I don't worry about another bridge to burn
Rosalie Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4476)

Rosalie Rose, please be my darling
Rosalie Rose, won't you please be my dream
Since that night in Texas when stars shone above
My delight so bright was for you to be my love

Oh Rosalie rose, have mercy on this heart of mine
Rosalie Rose, can't you see, you must not decline
All my dreams would be so fulfilling
My whole life would be so thrilling
If you would give me just a little sign

- instrumental -

Rosalie Rose, can't you see, you must not decline
All my dreams would be so fulfilling
My whole life would be so thrilling

Be Sure To Bury Me In Texas (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4477)

When I die, be sure to bury me in Texas
Cause that's where real cowboys and cowgirls are
When I die, be sure to bury me in Texas
And on my stone carve for me a big 'ol Texas star

I've been to New York City
But that old place stays too cold too long
I've been to Detroit City
But I never heard a jukebox country song

So, if I die along some lonesome trail
Just send me back to Texas in the mail
Send my wage to the overland stage in San Antone
I wanna be on hand to be raised in my Texas home

- instrumental -

As Long As It's Written In Stone (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4478)

Any old time is a good time
If you decide to come back home
And old line is a good line
As long as it's written in stone

You took a chance and went to play
And the way you played was so unfair
Though I know you've left, sweetheart 
In my heart and thoughts, I do still care 

I just don't know what to do
Now that I find that you're gone
Just drop me a line any old time
As long as it's written in stone

- instrumental -

Any old time is a good time
If you decide to come back home
And old line is a good line
As long as it's written in stone

Just drop me a line any old time
As long as it's written in stone
Any Part Of Anything Of You (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4479)

I kept all the letters that you sent
I went to places where we went
I'm still looking everywhere too
For any part of anything of you

I kept your old pair of shoes
But they can't repair my blues
I'm looking for my old heart too
For any part of anything of you

- instrumental -

I kept all the mem'ries I could store
Even, you don't love me anymore
I'll keep whatever you don't need
Even though you don't need me

Now, I'm looking for a reason to live
Cause I don't have anything to give
I'd give anything, you know it's true
For any part of anything of you
Down To Texas Where I'm Bound (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4480)

I'm sitting in the station in another dirty town
Looking through my tears as they tumble down
Waiting for a bus they call a big greyhound
To take me down to Texas where I'm bound 

Where that old dog is going, I don't give a hoot
Just as long as when I stop, I see cowboy boots
I can't wait for that old hound to come around
To take me down to Texas where I'm bound 

- instrumental -

Where that old dog is going, I don't give a hoot
Just as long as when I stop, I see cowboy boots
I can't wait for that old hound to come around
To take me down to Texas where I'm bound 

I used to have a love that I could call my own
I heard that she's somewhere around San Antone
Well, hello driver, get that big 'ol diesel wound
To take me down to Texas where I'm bound
Texas Love (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4481)

A Texas love is for young, old and everyone
A Texas star becomes a wishing star for you
A Texas love is a wonder under the Texas sun
A cowgirl's kiss makes a cowboy's heart miss, it's true

A Texas day in May will bring a rainbow's showers
Everything's in bloom, including bluebonnet flowers
Don't let a Texas love slip right through your hands
Take your stand and put your brand on a Texas love

- instrumental -

A Texas love is a wonder under the Texas sun

Everything's in bloom, including bluebonnet flowers
Don't let a Texas love slip right through your hands
Take your stand and put your brand on a Texas love
Midland-Odessa Waltz (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2007) (song#4482)

I danced with a senorita under west Texas stars
Cowboys and gauchos were strumming guitars
They had us all humming such a beautiful waltz
It was out in west Texas, the Midland-Odessa waltz

The air was sweet and her lips whispered to me
Amor, amor mio, my love for you will always be
Then she was gone, I knew her words were false
As we danced to the Texas Midland-Odessa waltz

- instrumental -

The air was sweet and her lips whispered to me
Amor, amor mio, my love for you will always be
Then she was gone, I knew her words were false
As we danced to the Texas Midland-Odessa waltz

Then she was gone, I knew her words were false
As we danced to the Texas Midland-Odessa waltz
Room Full Of Roses (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2007) (song#4483)

Today I got another rose from you
Your note said I'd made you blue
Now I've got a room full of roses
The roses that you send are bright
But dear, you know it's not right
To blame me when love's door closes

As I look at these rose petals
Each one tears my heart apart
I wish that we could settle this
And maybe make a brand new start

Your note said I made you blue
That's the way I'm feeling too
Dear, I don't know what to do
With this room full of roses

Dear, if we could start anew
Love would replace what's blue 
Like this room full of roses
So, if you're feeling that way too
Here is what I'll say to you
Dear, my empty heart discloses
That my arms still have room for you
Another Broken Cowboy In Abilene (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2007) (song#4484)

Well, I rode into Abilene on the Chisholm trail
Three months fightin' cows and rain and hail
Spent all my earnin's somewhere in between
Another broken cowboy in Abilene

Well, I knocked around as best I could
Begged 'em all for work but nobody would
My stomach's empty, saddlebags are lean
Another broken cowboy in Abilene

I can't telegraph the folks back home that I failed
I'd rather be locked up in the Abilene jail
I might stay here and live on bread and beans
Another broken cowboy in Abilene

- instrumental -

I can't telegraph the folks back home that I failed
I'd rather be locked up in the Abilene jail
I might stay here and live on bread and beans
Another broken cowboy in Abilene
Yeah, I'm just another broken cowboy in Abilene
I Don't Have Another Heart That You Can Break (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2007) (song#4485)

Darlin', I don't have another heart that you can break
This one's already broken and cannot smile
Even though a broken heart is so in style today
I wasn't cool and I sure did play the fool
And I hope I don't make the same mistake
Cause I don't have another heart that you can break

- instrumental -

I wasn't cool and I sure did play the fool
And I hope I don't make the same mistake
Cause I don't have another heart that you can break

Darlin', I don't know when your love for me died
But I know my heart is an empty shell inside
There's nothing left for me but an empty memory
So darlin', even if you came back again
I couldn't win, and that would be another big mistake
Cause I don't have another heart that you can break
I Don't Have To Be Lonesome (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2007) (song#4486)

I don't come here just to hear the jukebox
I'm just tryin' to get a mem'ry off my mind
I just hang around with buddies at the bar
But I always leave when it's closing time

I try to put on an act like a gentleman
My shirt is clean and free from grime
I'm not your average honky tonk hero
I just like company when it's crying time

- instrumental -

I try to put on an act like a gentleman
My shirt is clean and free from grime
I'm not your average honky tonk hero
I just like company when it's crying time

This way I don't have to be lonesome
I could do that by myself at home
This way I don't have to be lonesome
Cause lonesome's what I've been too long
Whatever Your Heart Craves (Larry W. Jones 03/03/2007) (song#4487)

Dear, whatever your heart craves
I would be your slave, my love
Whatever in the world, to you I'd give
I'd unfurl the moonbeams up above

Now, I don't own a moonlit view
Nor the stars up in the blue
But what I give is love that's true
Dear, I will give you all my love

- instrumental -

Dear, whatever your heart craves
I would be your slave, my love

Now, I don't own a moonlit view
Nor the stars up in the blue
But what I give is love that's true
Dear, I will give you all my love
Last Trail Of Summer (Larry W. Jones 03/04/2007) (song#4488)

A time to be ropin', a time to be brandin'
The last trail of summer is callin' me home
I was then a young cowboy, a drover was I
When dogies were rompin' under Wyomin' skies

A time just for herdin', a time few have known
A time to be singin' a cowboy's love song
I was then a young cowboy, full of laughter and mirth
I rode old cattle trails across the good earth

A time for corralin', a time to be movin' on 
The last trail of summer is callin' me home
I was then a young cowboy, a twinkle in my eye
Like the stars in the night time a-passin' by

A time just for herdin', a time long gone by
For cowboys to be livin', for cowboys to die
I was then a young cowboy, full of laughter and mirth
Now, the last trail of summer is callin' me home

I was then a young cowboy, full of laughter and mirth
Now, the last trail of summer is callin' me home
April Roundup (Larry W. Jones 03/04/2007) (song#4489)

April trail, where did you disappear to
Wonderful April trail
Where have you gone

An April roundup was on
And I thought spring would forever dawn
But a young cowboy's a dreamer
And when I opened my eyes
My April trail was gone

Old cowboys say, real love is hidden
Somewhere in late Autumn
After April's roundup is passed
So, I'm looking to find
Somewhere upon prairies vast
An April roundup
That leaves old cowboys behind

- instrumental -

April trail, where did you disappear to
Wonderful April trail
Where have you gone

Old cowboys say, real love is hidden
Somewhere in late Autumn
After April's roundup is passed
So, I'm looking to find
Somewhere upon prairies vast
An April roundup
That leaves old cowboys behind
Gypsy In My Cowboy Boots (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4490)

If I go riding fancy free
Like I don't have no roots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots

A lonesome trail is calling me
One that has no roots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots

The only way to unleash my burning
Is to release my pony's reins for running

Nothing can beat the cowboy life
I go where my six shooter shoots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots

No worries
No strings
My pony has wings

- instrumental -

If I go riding fancy free
Like I don't have no roots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots

A lonesome trail is calling me
One that has no roots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots

The only way to unleash my burning
Is to release my pony's reins for running

Nothing can beat the cowboy life
I go where my six shooter shoots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots
It's just the gypsy in my cowboy boots
My Sweet Gypsy Cowgirl (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4491)

Whippoorwills on the prairie are calling for you
The purple sage in the glade looks so lonely
Summer is here for all glad hearts to cheer
And you are the one missing only

All the birds nesting in the cottonwood trees
Sing for you and wish to kiss you
All the desert roses yearn for your return
And most of all I miss you

Slumber on, my sweet gypsy cowgirl
Dream of the prairie and woodland cove
Can you see me, my sweet gypsy cowgirl
Wherever your dreams may rove

- instrumental -

Slumber on, my sweet gypsy cowgirl
My wild prairie dove
Listen to my heart song, my prairie pearl
For you are my love

The doe that you tamed has saddened eyes
Eyes that say you have been too long parted
Songs by the old corral of cowboys reprise
Somehow just don't sound as light hearted

All the birds nesting in the cottonwood trees
Sing for you and wish to kiss you
All the desert roses yearn for your return
And most of all I miss you
My sweet gypsy cowgirl
Heart Now Put Out Your Flame (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4492)

Heart, now put out your flame
Heart, you know she is to blame
Her love's not the same anymore

This new life to you I've shown now
I know you don't like being alone now
You keep bringing up things you miss
And you keep singing about her kiss

Heart, now put out your flame
Heart, you know she is to blame
Her love's not the same anymore

- instrumental -

Heart, I'm taking you to see the lights
Heart, now quit making lonely nights
You know I've gotta find somebody new
But heart, you keep me feeling so blue

Heart, now put out your flame
Heart, you know she is to blame
Her love's not the same anymore
 
Heart, now try to forget the past
Heart, some things just never last
Her love's not the same anymore
Somewhere Upon That Mountain (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4493)

As long as there's a mountain
There's gotta be a valley
And where there's a mountain valley
There's gotta be a stream that's flowing free

As long as there's a prairie
There's gotta be a trail
And where there's a prairie trail
There's gotta be a destiny for you and me

Somewhere upon that mountain
Somewhere across that prairie
Somewhere down that valley stream
There's gotta be a secret place
Where you and I will find our dream

- instrumental -

Somewhere upon that mountain
Somewhere across that prairie
Somewhere down that valley stream
There's gotta be a secret place
Where you and I will find our dream
As Time Flies By (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4494)

Now lovers, in your mem'ries you must file
A smile is still a smile after all the miles
Such basic things apply as time flies by

Now when you lovers said, I do
You said that forever, I love you
On such basic things you must rely
As time flies by

Sunlight and moonlight sets the date
There's only room for love, not hate
You must be kind to your mate
That you cannot deny

That same old love story
Is still found in life's inventory
It's there for every girl and guy
As time flies by

- instrumental -

Sunlight and moonlight sets the date
There's only room for love, not hate
You must be kind to your mate
That you cannot deny

That same old love story
Is still found in life's inventory
It's there for every girl and guy
As time flies by
Around Sundown (Larry W. Jones 03/05/20070 (song#4495)

It's that time of the evening again
When my mind starts to grieving again
Dreams begin weaving around sundown

It seems that you're still near
But that dream was of yesteryear
I can't seem to stop tears around sundown

That's the time of the day
It's sublime but I must say
The colors around sundown
Have all turned to grey

- instrumental -

It's that time of the evening again
When my mind starts to grieving again
Dreams begin weaving around sundown

It seems that you're still near
But that dream was of yesteryear
I can't seem to stop tears around sundown
Around sundown
Around sundown...
Back To Western Trails (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4496)

If you see this sadness in my eyes
You might surmise why I have to leave
This city life I could never understand
There's nothing here I want to see

So, I'm ridin' back to western trails
Where grows the purple sage
Back to where the wind blows free
Back to another age

Yes, I'm ridin' back to western trails
Where valley streams run steep
Back to where the whippoorwill
Will sing me into peaceful sleep

- instrumental -

Here most people never smile
Their looks are sad and cold
So, I'm ridin' back to western trails
Back to where I left my soul

So, I'm ridin' back to western trails
Where grows the purple sage
Back to where the wind blows free
Back to another age

Yes, I'm ridin' back to western trails
Where valley streams run steep
Back to where the whippoorwill
Will sing me into peaceful sleep
Good Good Day For Me (Larry W. Jones 03/05/2007) (song#4497)

This has been a good, good day for me
Yes, it's been a good, good day for me
My darlin' said she's on her way
There's nothing left for me to say
This has been a good, good day for me

The sun is shining in the sky, I see
No more tears I have to weep
This has been a good, good day for me

Anywhere I walk, sunshine greets me
I don't even balk when trouble meets me
Just how sweet can really sweet be
My darlin' said she's on her way
This has been a good, good day for me

There's nothing left of my old used to be
It sure feels good to be out of the cold
This has been a good, good day for me

- instrumental -

Anywhere I walk, sunshine greets me
I don't even balk when trouble meets me
Just how sweet can really sweet be
My darlin' said she's on her way
This has been a good, good day for me

There's nothing left of my old used to be
It sure feels good to be out of the cold
This has been a good, good day for me
This has been a good, good day for me
Yes siree...
Apply Some TLC To My Heart (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2007) (song#4498)

Apply some TLC to my heart
Can't you see it's breaking apart
My heart feels like it's been burned
Just like a lover who's been spurned
Apply some tender loving care
Some TLC to my heart

You said your love for me was strong
So, what was it that went wrong
You should have said goodbye at the start
Can't you see you made me cry
But I'll still take you back if you apply
Apply some TLC to my heart

- instrumental -

My heart feels like it's been burned
Just like a lover who's been spurned

You said your love for me was strong
So, what was it that went wrong
You should have said goodbye at the start
Can't you see you made me cry
But I'll still take you back if you apply
Apply some TLC to my heart
Orchid And The Rose (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2007) (song#4499)

The velvet shade of night that's falling
Bids goodbye to the sun in the west
And as I drift off to sleep, I see
The one who makes my life feel blessed
She has the beauty of the orchid there
And perfume of roses that fill the air

Now, the orchid will lose its splendor
And the rose will wilt when you're away
The moon at night hides out of sight
Because it knows I miss you each day
My garden knows what all know is true
Because the orchid and the rose are you

The orchid and the rose are you, dear
You grow in my garden of love
The flowers tell a story that's so clear
Of someone from heaven above
And the story is of beauty true
For the orchid and the rose are you
For the orchid and the rose are you
My Pony And Me (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2007) (song#4500)

Sometimes a cowboy gets lonely
The way a cowboy's life can be
Here I go riding through life only
With just my pony and me

But I try not to worry
Though at times I'm sad
I don't ride trails in a hurry
Take the good with the bad

Over cattle trails I wander
Under skies grey or fair
Chasing dreams over yonder
Tomorrow I'll be there

One horse town or Dodge City
Never know where I'll be
But I ain't lookin' for pity
For my pony and me

Here we go, just us two
Wandering trails so free
Out here, needs are few
For my pony and me

We've ridden trails together
From mountains to the sea
At home in sage and heather
Just my pony and me

Over cattle trails I wander
Under skies grey or fair
Chasing dreams over yonder
Tomorrow I'll be there
