The Last Cowboy Song
Composer(s): Ed Bruce - Ron Peterson
Performer(s): The Highwaymen 
and multiple other artists



All:
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's lost

Waylonn Jennings:
He rides the feed lots, clerks in the markets
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer
And his dreams of tomorrow, surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

Kris Kristofferson:
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball, old Wyatt backed down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the 7th when Custer went down

All:
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's lost

Willie Nelson:
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis L'Amour has told us his tale
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

Johnny Cash:
The old Chisolm trail is covered in concrete now
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
They roll by his markings and don't even notice
Like living and dying was all he ever did

All:
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's lost

This is the last cowboy song
The end of...

Changing Partners
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Larry Coleman
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists



We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out "Change partners"
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

From Russia With Love
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Matt Munro



From Russia with love, I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've traveled the world to learn
I must return from Russia with love

I've seen places, faces, and smiled for a moment
But oh, you haunted me so
Still my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say no

To Russia I flew, but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I fly to you from Russia with love

The Last Cheater's Waltz

Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
and multiple other artists



She was going to pieces when he walked in the door
She had to see him she can't wait no more
Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
Oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

He tells her he loves her as the music plays on
He tells he loves her but someone's at home
The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
Oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

Changing My Tune
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and multiple other artists



Castles were crumbling and daydreams were tumbling
December was battling with June
But on this bright afternoon
Guess I’ll be changing my tune
Kept on despairing beyond any caring
If I jumped out of a balloon
But I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune

At last the stars are bright and shiny
It’s a human world once more
Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
What was I worried for? 

Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
To grumble and glare at the moon
But I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune

At last the stars are bright and shiny
It’s a human world once more
Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
What was I worried for?

No more resentment, I’m full of contentment
Afloat on a dreamy lagoon
And I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune

From Our House To Yours
Composer(s): Angela Kaset
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Angela Kaset



When I was just a little kid 
You became my very best friend 
Soon as I had done my chores 
I beat a path from our house to yours 

One Christmas we both asked for bikes 
One in red, one blue and white 
I'll never forget that magic morn 
My first ride from our house to yours 

From our house to yours 
Twenty-one mailboxes 
Twenty-one doors 
For ten years or more 
It was back and forth from our house to yours 

One summer we both had a crush 
On a boy who lived down the road from us 
He liked me but he liked you more 
I watched him go from our house to yours 

I remember the day you turned thirteen 
Thought you had grown too old for me 
But I taught you make-up and you taught me boys 
We burned up the phone lines from our house to yours 

From our house to yours 
Seven numbers 
Twenty-one doors 
For ten years or more 
I knew the way from our house to yours 

I'll never forget that awful day 
When the moving van took you away 
I cried 'til my eyes were red and sore 
Five-hundred miles from our house to yours 

It had been a while since you crossed my mind 
Then a card in the mailbox at Christmas time 
With an evergreen wreath on a red front door 
Saying lots of love from our house to yours 

From our house to yours 
Too many years 
Too many doors 
For ten years or more 
I knew the way from our house to yours 
I knew the way from our house to yours

The Last Blues Song
Composer(s): Cynthia Weil - Barry Mann
Performer(s): Helen Reddy
and multiple other artists



I've been cryin' and my-oh-my-in' since she's been gone
But I've done some thinkin' and it's startin' to sink-in that life goes on
So if you're somebody who's feelin' sorry for yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

Now a little bitty bit of self pity can really sing
But it keeps on growin' and you know woe-woe-in' don't change a thing
So, if you're a person who's hooked on hurtin' on yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, my oh my
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I'm fit to die
Baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't go
Mama, I think I'm gettin' high on feelin' low-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh

All you losers and full time blues'ers get out of bed
Don't you go and give in, don't you give up on livin' before you're dead
Come on now, brother, if you've been motherin' yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be, this is gonna be the last blues song

Changing Horses
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Country Comfort



Changing horses in the middle of a stream 
Gets you wet and sometimes cold 
Changing faces in the middle of a dream 
Gets you old 
Oh, gets you old

Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see 
Takes you places you don't know 
Search for someone you can't ever hope to be 
And still you go 
Oh, still you go

Don't you think it's kind of sad to say
Don't you think it's gonna change? 
Makes you think you'll have to stay inside 
For a while

Changing horses in the middle of a stream 
Gets you wet and sometimes cold 
Changing faces in the middle of a dream 
Gets you old

From Monday On
Composer(s): Harry Barris; Bing Crosby
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



From Monday on, my cares are over
From Monday on, I’ll be in clover
We pick on Monday because it’s washday
And we’ll wash our blues away
From Monday on, the skies will look bright
Don’t tell me different, I know I’m right
I’m gonna start shouting Hey Hey
When he says Love Honour and Obey
I’ll be happy, from Monday on

The Lass Of Swansea Town
(Traditional)



It was down by Swansea barracks
one May morning I strayed
A-viewing of the soldier lads
I spied a comely maid
It was o'er her red and rosy cheeks
the tears did dingle down
I thought she was some goddess fair
the lass of Swansea town

I said, "Fair maid, what brought you here
what brought you here to mourn?"
"Oh I'm in search of Willie dear
my bonny young sailor boy
Eight years ago he left me here
for Bermuda he was bound
He said he would prove faithful to
the lass of Swansea town"

"If eight years ago he left you
it is useless for to mourn
For perhaps he is in some battle slain
or in the ocean drowned"
"Oh God forbid, young man," she said
"By what token will he be known
if he ever do return to the
lass of Swansea Town"

"On his left breast he wears a scar
where he received a wound"
"If by that token your Willie is known
it's him I know right well
The cannon-ball which made him fall
gave him his deathly wound
He told me to take care of you
the lass of Swansea town"

Soon as she heard him say these words
she fell in deep despair
Wringing of her lily-white hands
and tearing of her hair
Saying, "Take me to my Willie
else give me my death wound
For no other man will ever enjoy
the lass of Swansea town"

On coming to herself once more up
from the ground she rose
His waistcoat it blew open and
the scar it did expose
They walked till they reached his cottage
and there they settled down
Young Willie of the royal blue and
the lass of Swansea town

Changing All The Time
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Kevin Savigar
Performer(s): Peter Frampton



You're doing what you think is right
Yeah, like it's black and white
Then you're not so sure
'Cause everything's changing all the time

You're digging deep inside
In me you can always confide
You have to trust in yourself
'Cause everything's changing all the time
When in your darkest days
You are the light that shines the way
....Gotta leave it all behind
'Cause everything's changing all the time

When you're put to the test
And you need some tenderness
Don't let yesterday haunt you
'Cause everything's changing all the time
'Cause everything's changing all the time

When things don't seem to go as planned
And your hopes seem out of reach
Don't let your fears surround you
You can't give up now
And loose what's inside you

If there's anything I can do
Just call on me and I'll send it along

The Language Of Love
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; R.J. Wagsmith



She says no 
When she means yes 
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess 
When we want more, you know we ask for less 
Such is the language of love... 

I say leave 
When I mean stay 
But she don't see and so she moves away 
What we really want, you know we rarely say 
Such is the language of love 

It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye 
We hide our hearts & then we won't say why 
It's truth for truth & lie for lie 
Such is the language of love 

One cries foul 
And will not speak 
The other claims a little victory 
And all the time 
You know we fail to see 
This is the language of love 

When a love begins to wander 
No one ever knows 
But we feel it deep inside us 
Long before it shows 
Long before it shows 

We hem & haw 
We balk & bluff 
Our words don't ever seem to say enough 
But a simple smile 
A tender touch 
Speaks the true language of love 

She says no 
When she means yes 
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess 
When we want more, you know we ask for less 
Such is the language of love... 
Such is the language of love... 

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists



I took off for a weekend last month   
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places   
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long 
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we wound up drinkin' all night

It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning 
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches I've seen more than I can recall

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands 
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder so I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me and I know that I just can't go wrong

With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning 
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

From Levi's To Calvin Klein Jeans
Composer(s): R.D. Runyeon; R. Lathrop
Performer(s): Brenda Lee



From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

The life that your living don't fit cowboy boots
But you fit fight in with your new Gucci shoes
Your wearing gold plated glasses and solid gold chains
I doubt if the country will see you again

From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

The tan on your face has turned cally white
Riding those bar stools don't let in sun light
I can tell by the look that I see in your eyes
You yearn for the country and wide open skies

From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

Land Of Milk And Honey
Composer(s): John Hurley - Ronnie Wilkins
Performer(s): The Vogues



Yes it's true for most of my life I spoke devil 
And I did my best to dodge anything that looked at all like work
I was prone to standing on corners smokin' cigarettes
and talkin' about anything I didn't know
Oh, how I needed to go

Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey, Please take me

Time passed and I got a little older
Takin' on trouble just a little bit harder and a little bit bolder
I was thinkin' colder, fightin', lyin', cheatin' & cryin', I gave up
Givin'-up the voices of evil that were pullin' me down
You know, I was givin' up ground

Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey, Please take me

Then it came and it sounded like thunder
Shot of light in the dark of the night and you were really there
Tellin' me that you care, your warm love took away the cold
And were you walked the cobblestones turned to gold
And when you touch my hair you know take me there

Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey 
Please take me

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

I need your loving I can't wait long
I get this feeling it comes on strong
I try to see you youre always gone
from home girl
from home girl

you're always out in fancy clothes
down in clubs and late night shows
where you get your money no one knows
from home girl
from home girl

you run a big expensive car
you come and go like a movie star
and with your money you could stray far
from home girl
from home girl

I need your loving I cant wait long
I get this feeling it comes on strong
I try to see you youre always gone
from home girl
from home girl

The Lamp On The Corner
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara



Ask the lamp on the corner how lonely my life is without you
Ask the lamp on the corner how often I've spoken about you
With what's left of my heart in my hand
Like a troubadour lonely I stand 
And the light in your window keeps calling me in
Though I dare not obey its command
Ask the lamp on the corner if I haven't told (him/her) I love you
Just a miserable mourner who knows that he's not worthy of you
I forgot how we parted or why
Just a word or some little white lie
But life won't be worth livin' 'till we've been forgiven
The lamp on the corner and I

Changes

Everyone is going through changes

No one knows what's going on
And everybody changes places

But the world still carries on

Love must always change to sorrow

And everyone must play the game
It's here today and gone tomorrow

But the world goes on the same

Everyone is going through changes

Now love must always change to sorrow

Everyone is going through changes

Now love must always change to sorrow

Everyone is going through changes

But the world still carries on
