Traveling Down The Blue Road
Composer(s): Marshall Wilborn
Performer(s): Doyle Lawson



Traveling down the blue road
Wondering, hardly waiting just to get back home again
Winds are blowing down the blue road
Too long a loser, soon he's gonna win

He's worked in wood, worked in steel, call him what you will
Years can never outnumber the miles on his shoes
Been a lover and a fighter, gambler and moonshiner
Call him well-acquainted with the blues

Speak of oil fields, cottonfields, bright lights and city nights
Think about most any place he may have lived or died
There but now there's a lady who can turn back the miles
Gentle as a summer morning air

I Need You So
Composer(s): Ivory Joe Hunter
First release by: Ivory Joe Hunter - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists



I need you so
To keep me happy
If I can't have you
I cannot go on

I need your arms
Around me tightly
Yes, I miss them nightly
When you're not at home

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

Each Time You Break My Heart
Composer(s): Madonna - Stephen Pate Bray
First release by: Nick Kamen - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



Each time you break my heart
Each time you break my heart
I know how it feels to be the talk of the town
I'm not gonna let you go and run around
I need to know that you'll be true to me
'Cause that's the way it's got to be
Why can't you give your promise to me
Is love so blind that you cannot see
I'm trying hard not to walk out the door
Know that I, oh, know that I can't take no more
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you anyway
And if you're so sure that I'm not your kind
How come you can't just walk away
In the beginning we were nothing but glad
Those were the best days that we ever had
There's no compassion, all your warmth is gone
Tell me how, oh, how can I keep holding on
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
I see the look in your eyes
I know you're hurting inside
Let me try to make you love me again
I'll say that I knew you when
You were mine, you were mine
Each time, oh, yeah
In the beginning we were nothing but glad
Those were the best days that we ever had
There's no compassion, all your warmth is gone
Tell me how, oh, how can I keep holding on
I see the look in your eyes
I know you're hurting inside
Let me try to make you love me again
I'll say that I knew you when
You were mine, you were mine
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
Each time you break my heart again
Well I can say I knew you when / each time
You were mine
Break my heart, don't break my heart
Break my heart, don't break my heart...

Travelin' Shoes
Performer(s): Sawyer Brown



Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through
The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay our journey down 

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
The brakeman swings his lantern
Lit with never ending love
And mama I can't thank you near enough 

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

First release by: Eddie Fisher - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



If I ever needed you, I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart but you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart, Honey, you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

Each Time
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Performer(s): The Searchers



Each time you hurt me and desert me
You swear you'll never do it again
Oh each time I catch you lyin' I start cryin'
You say "It's the last time" and then

Oh you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
And like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Each time I say I'll leave you, never see you
You tell me you'll make it all up to me
Oh each time you say "Let's try it just once more"
'Cause I'm all you're livin' for, you'll change, I'll see

Then you call me baby, everything's gonna be fine
Then like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Wish that I felt just like I did before
There was a time I could walk out the door
But I can't go now though I know it's wrong
'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong

Then you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you
Each time, each time, each time, each time

Travelin' Shoes
Composer(s): Elvin Bishop
Performer(s): Elvin Bishop; Hal Singer; Maria Muldaur



Me and my old lady
Ain't been getting along
If things don't get better
I'll soon be long gone

The situation is driving me insane
Somebody fetch me my hat and coat
And hand me my walking cane

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I'm trying to tell you, boys
These hard headed women these days
The way they treat a man
Ain't nothing but a doggone shame

I talked and talked and talked
She didn't hear a word I said

Gonna get somebody's baseball bat
And send her out again

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I Need You
Composer(s): Keith Moon
Performer(s): The Who



Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

We're dancing
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you

Distort my ears when
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

A thousand miles dear a thousand more 
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine 
Please think of me dear each night at nine

I hold your picture close to my heart 
It takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine 
To feel your nearness each night at nine

The bugle's playing out goes the light 
Gee but it's lonely these Army nights
Please tell kiddies I'm doing fine 
Give them my love dear each night at nine

A thousand miles dear a thousand more 
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine 
Please think of me dear each night at nine

Travelin' shoes, I have news for you
We're takin' off tomorrow at ten
I just got a note from a gal who wrote
She wants to see us again

Travelin' shoes, you carried me
Over many wearyin' miles
And you know the route, so don't give out
For a little while

And at the gate, I'll keep a permanent date
With my honey, so sunny
What is more, I'll never stray from her door again
Goin' gome and then

Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you
I'm settin' out to settle right down
I'm gonna lose these homeless blues
Back in my home town

Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you
Takin' off to settle right down
And I'm gonna lose these homeless blues
Back in my home town
Split Lip, Nevada
Back in that one horse town

J'y Pense Et Puis J'oublie
((Adapted from: It Comes And Goes (Burl Ives) - 1963))
((Dutch Version: De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij (Johnny Lion) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Claude François
Performer(s): Claude François - 1964



Tout le monde me demande si je t'aime encore
Et si je pense encore à toi
Ils me demandent de parler de mon cœur
C'est triste depuis de long mois.
Je mens un petit peu, et je dis fièrement
Cette histoire est finie
Mais je dois avouer que certains soirs peut-être
Parfois j'ypense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit
Et quand ton souvenir
Revient me faire souffrir
Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie

Tout le monde me demande si j'ai pleuré
Et si je pleure encore pour toi
Mais s'ils me le demandent
C'est tout simplement pour pouvoir rire de moi
Si je mens un petit peu et que je dis fièrement
Je n'ai jamais pleuré de ma vie
C'est tout juste si mes yeux me picotent un peu
Lorsque j'y pense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit
Et quand ton souvenir 
Revient me faire souffrir
Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie

J'y pense et puis j'oublie
Mais j'y pense beaucoup plus que je n'oublie
Car tout au fond de moi
Je sens que cet amour
J'y pense j'y penserai toujours
J'y pense j'y penserai toujours

Travelin' Man
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



The sun brings up another day 
near the little fishin' town
The nets are hung out in the wind
The sails are down
A seagull flies above my head
spinning slowly toward the sea
He seems so free, and just like me he rides the wind

I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Won't you share the load? 

Lonesome shepherd in the field ahead
Moonlight flows across the grass 
The rocky hills catch the light 
above their shadows cast
Lonely by the day, drifting late at night 
The wind is creepin' through my ragged coat 
What a life! 

I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Won't you share the load?  

I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Won't you share the load? 

I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Nothin' left behind me but the road
I'm a trav-'lin' man 
Won't you share the load?

I Need You
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America



We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why

But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

Début de week-end
Dans mon H.L.M.
C'est la fuite
Et je glande
Au flipper d'à côté
Y a le R.E.R.
Je vais me le faire
Et rôder
Du côté
Des vieux Champs-Elysées
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
Vignette moto
Bonjour la galère
Et amis
Des maifs
Rendez-vous au métro
Vignette landau
Pour toutes les mères
Il n'y a pas de quoi rire
C'est sûr'ment pour bientôt
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas venu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
Du côté joggin'
Y a sûrement à faire
Un impôt
Sur la sueur
Sur tous ces buveurs d'eau
Complet le parking
Amende et fourrière
Samedi soir à Paris
Vive les paranos
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'provoquer
J'vous dérange
J'suis pas v'nu vous chercher
J'vous dérange
Fallait pas m'inviter
J'vous dérange
Mais j'n'ai rien demandé

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty senorita waitin' for me down in old Mexico
And if you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fräulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

Oh my sweet Fräulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man

Well the talk on the street 
Says you might go solo 
A good friend of mine 
Saw you leavin' by the back door

I need to know (I need to know)

J'Veux Pas Qu'Tu Partes
Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; Anne-Marie D'Gaspard
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti



Moi qui n'ai su aimer vraiment
Aucune des femmes de ma vie
Je crois que je sais maintenant
Pourquoi je n'ai jamais grandi
À force de toujours chercher
À travers elle une autre toi
Je crois que je me suis trompé
D'histoire d'amour à chaque fois

Si j'ai toujours été, c'est vrai
De tes deux fils le mouton noir
Dieu sait combien tu m'as aimé
Tu n'as jamais cessé d'y croire...
On a fait les quatre cents coups
Et toi tu nous pardonnais tout
Et tu trouvais toujours les mots
Pour excuser tous nos défauts

Et si le temps t'arrache à moi
Faut vraiment que tu saches, crois-moi
Tu resteras comme une flamme
Tu resteras la seule femme

{Refrain:}
Je veux pas que tu partes, non pas maintenant
Demain ... plus tard... on a le temps
Débrouille toi comme tu voudras
Mais surtout, non, ne t'en va pas...!
Je veux pas que tu partes c'est bien trop tôt
On doit fêter tes noces d'or
Sarah s'est choisie un chapeau
Tu ne peux pas partir encore
Là-haut, là-haut, là-haut
Pas de fleurs, pas d'oiseaux
Là-haut, là-haut
Pas d'enfants, de cerceaux
Là-haut, là-haut
Là-haut y'a rien à voir
N'y va pas, je ne veux pas
Reste avec nous, reste avec moi!

Sur les routes de nos voyages
C'est toi qui montrais le chemin
Toi qui avais tous les courages
Et qui tenais tête au destin!
Je t'en ai fait des cheveux blancs
Des rides au creux de ton visage
Toi qui as dompté tous les vents
Montré de quoi tu es capable!

Et si le temps t'arrache à moi
Faut vraiment que tu saches, crois-moi
Tu resteras comme une flamme
Tu resteras la seule femme

{au Refrain}

Travelin' Man

Up with the sun, gone with the wind
She always said I was lazy
Leavin’ my home, leavin’ my friends
Runnin’ when things get too crazy
Out on thr road, out ’neath the stars
Feelin’ the breeze, passin’ the cars

Women have come, women have gone
Everyone tryin’ to cage me
Some were so sweet, I barely got free
Others, they only enraged me
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul

Travelin’ man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand ’cause I’m goin’
Travelin’ man, catch if you can
But sooner or lare I’m goin’
Travelin’ man... travelin’ man, yes I am

Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul

I Need To Be In Love
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter; Albert Hammond
First release by: The Carpenters - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time 
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time 
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time 
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
