King of The Road
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
no phone, no pool, no pets I ain’t got no cigarettes ah, but
two hours of pushin’ broom buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means king of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train destination Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around I’m a man of means by no means King of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
all of their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
and every lock that ain’t locked when no one’s around
I sing, trailers for sale or rent rooms to let, fifty cents
no phone, no pool, no pets I ain’t got no cigarettes
ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means King of the road.
Trailers for sale or rent rooms to let fifty cents
no phone no pool no pets I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

Forever And Ever Amen
You may think that I’m talking foolish you’ve heard that I’m wild and I’m free
You may wonder how I can promise you now this love that I feel for you always will be
You’re not just time that I’m killing I’m no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give is gonna be yours until the day that I die oh baby
I’m gonna love you forever forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever, amen
They say time takes its toll on a body makes the young girl’s brown hair turn gray
Well honey I don’t care I ain’t in love with your hair and if it all fell out well I’d love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory make people forget things they knew
Well it’s easy to see it’s happening to me I’ve already forgotten every woman but you oh darling
I’m gonna love you forever forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful just listen to how this song ends
I’m gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever, amen
I’m gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever forever and ever forever and ever, amen

Wichita Lineman
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
searchin’ in the sun for another overload.
I hear you singing in the wires, I can hear you through the whine
and the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
I know I need a small vacation but it don’t look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south won’t ever stand the strain.
And I need you more than want you and I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
And I need you more than want you and I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line

The Gambler
On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with a gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
’Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
He said, "Son, I’ve made a life out of readin’ people’s faces,
And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don’t mind my sayin’ I can see you’re out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice."
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you’re gonna play the game boy ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold ’em know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.
Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
is knowin’ what to throw away knowing what to keep.
’cause every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
And when he’d finished speakin’, he turned back toward the window,
crushed out his cigarette faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
but in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold ’em know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’ve never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die?
Like me he’s lost the will to live I’m so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder as I wonder where you are I’m so lonesome I could cry

Your Cheatin’ Heart
Your cheating heart will make you weep you’ll cry and cry and try to sleep
but sleep won’t come the whole night through your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you’ll toss around and call my name
You’ll walk the floor the way I do your cheating heart will tell on you
Your cheating heart will pine someday and crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you’ll be blue your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you’ll toss around and call my name
You’ll walk the floor the way I do your cheating heart will tell on you

Ring Of Fire
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire.
I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child oh, but the fire went wild.
I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire.
I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire, the ring of fire.

Help Me Make It Through The Night
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall,
Laying soft against upon my skin like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I’m takin’ is your time help me make it through the night.
I don’t care who’s right or wrong I don’t try to understand.
Let the Devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight
And it’s sad to be alone help me make it through the night.
Lord it’s sad to be alone help me make it through the night.

ix Days On The Road
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin’ down that Eastern Seaboard.
I’ve got my diesel wound up and she’s a running like never before.
There’s a speed zone ahead, well all right, I don’t see a cop in sight.
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
I got me ten forward gears, and a Georgia overdrive.
I’m taking little white pills, and my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a ’Jimmy’ and a ’White’ I’ve been a passin’ everything in sight.
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby good-bye.
I could have a lot of women but I’m not a like a some other guy.
I could find a one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it’s all right.
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
I.C.C. is a checking on down the line.
Well I’m a little overweight and my log book’s way behind.
But nothing bothers me tonight I can dodge all the scales all right,
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
Well my rig’s a little old but that don’t mean she’s slow.
There’s a flame from her stack, and that smoke’s a blowing black as coal.
My hometown’s a coming in sight, If you think that I’m a happy you’re right!
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road and I’m a gonna make it home tonight.

Kiss An Angel Good Morning
When ever I chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to feel this way
I’ve always got a smiling face, anytime and any place
And every time they ask me why I just smile and say
You’ve got to kiss an angel good morning and let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning and love her like the devil when you get back home
Well people may try to guess the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn it’s a simple thing
The secret that I’m speaking of is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing
You’ve got to kiss an angel good morning and let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning and love her like the devil when you get back home
Kiss an angel good morning and let her know you think about her when you’re gone
Kiss an angel good morning and love her like the devil when you get back home

The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The Devil went down to Georgia he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind cause he was way behind he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn’t know it but I’m a fiddle player too
And if you’d care to take a dare I’ll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy but give the devil his due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul ‘cause I think I’m better than you
The boy said my name’s Johnny and it might be a sin
But I’ll take your bet your gonna regret cause I’m the best that’s ever been
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell’s broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold but if you lose the Devil gets your soul
The Devil opened up his case and he said I’ll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this
When the Devil finished Johnny said well you’re pretty good ol’ son
But sit down in that chair right there let me show you how its done
Fire on the mountain run boys run the devil’s in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny does your dog bite no child no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet.
Johnny said Devil just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch I’m the best there’s ever been
He played fire on the mountain run boys run the devil’s in the house of the rising sun
A chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny will your dog bite no child no

The Dance
Looking back on the memory of the dance we shared ’neath the stars above.
For a moment all the world was right how could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye?
And now, I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain but I’d had have to miss the dance.
Holding you I held everything for a moment wasn’t I a king?
But if I’d only known how the king would fall hey who’s to say you know I might have changed it all.
And now I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives, are better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I’d had have to miss the dance
Yes my life it’s better left to chance.
I could have have missed the pain but I’d had have to miss the dance.
