A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man Composer(s): Carrie Rodgers - Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Did you ever wakeup on a Sunday morn With the blues all around your bed I bet you have, yes and I have too Lord youd have an achin head
Your friends would come around and give advice And then youd have to stall But if your bottle was insight Lord they wouldnt leave you none at all Do you hear me Brother? They wouldnt leave you none at all
Ill tell you brother and I wont lie Whats the matter in this land Theres too many women just like old Eve Theyll fool you if they can
Theyll make you love them and then break your heart Mess up all of your plans A Woman Lord has ruined many a good man I said it brother Lord has ruined many a good man
Now mister bartender dont be so slow Cause I need another drink And after all this is my dough And you aint getting paid to think
So wipe that frown from off your face And please try to understand That a Woman Lord has ruined many a good man I said it brother Lord has ruined many a good man
So as you travel though this life What ever be your goal This old world is full of grief and strife And all that glitters sure aint gold
So if youve got a loving gal Brother, keep her if you can But a Woman Lord has ruined many a good man Im glad I said it Lord has ruined many a good man
Watching The Wildlife Composer(s): Peter Gill; Holly Johnson; Brian Nash; Mark O'Toole Performer(s): Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Watching the wildlife On my way home, the state of rome People gliding on the floor Pleased with life not needing more Sunset on the river People go home in the rain Familiar faces on the train Running scared, and staying sane
If you live by the sword Well thats your own reward So dont walk with me Watching the wildlife The beast within you Eats your heart out Get free from hate and get in love
Boys in the backyard The girls are hanging out the lines Washing the day, wash your troubles away Its game we have to play Ghosts are chasing you round Things that happened in the past Dont make that mistake again The sun beats down the streets of passion
If you live by the sword Well thats your own reward So dont talk with me Watching the wildlife The beast within you Eats your heart out Get free from hate and get in love
Your own worst enemy Get free from hate and get in love
If you live by the sword Watching the wildlife Watching you The beast within you too Watching the wildlife
Get in love, get in love
Watching the wildlife We all live in a dream in home We watch tv and drive a car We go outside, but not too far Watching the wildlife We walk the water like a sun Living cuts you like a knife Living here watching the wildlife
A Woman Can Change A Man Composer(s): Frank Farian - Fred Jay Performer(s): Boney M.
A woman can change a man If she loves him, the way that I'm in love with you I know it, I know that I can If it's the last thing, the last thing I'd ever do
So you may still feel the same old yearning Believe me the flame will soon stop burning
A woman can change a man If she stays with him whatever maybe in store for her So just put, your trust in me I'll never hurt you baby, I'll never desert you babe
It feels so good just to be near you To feel your lips, to see and hear you Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
I'll be forever your shadow, walking next to you Caring for you, is what I won't do for you baby A woman can change a man Make him want her, and make him wanna be with her Oh baby I've no secret plans I just hope in my heart, someday you'll be free of her
So you may still feel the same old yearning Believe me the flame will soon stop burning
Watching The Wheels Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; and various other artists
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
People asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry... I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
A Winter Romance Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Ken Lane Performer(s): Dean Martin; Beegie Adair
I never will forget the station where we met You dropped your skis....a happy circumstance No one would have guessed we had started Started a winter romance
And all the way to Maine, on that enchanted train The passing scenery didn't get a glance We held hands, completely light hearted Off to a winter romance
We danced that night, by candle light The world was white with snow The way we felt, we never felt The snow could melt and go
But though the snow is gone, the romance lingers on And those that said it didn't stand a chance Will know when they see us together That love's not been controlled by the weather
And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance (Though the snow is gone the romance lingers on) (And those that said it didn't stand a chance) Will know when they see us together That love's not been controlled by the weather And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance
Watching The River Run Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina Performer(s): Loggins & Messina
If you've been thinking you're all that you've got Then don't feel alone anymore When we're together, then you've got a lot 'Cause I am the river and you are the shore
And it goes on and on, oh, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run
Winding and swirling and dancing along We pass by the old willow tree Where lovers caress as we sing of our song Twisting together when we greet the sea
And it goes on and on, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run
And it goes on and on, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run

Watching The River Flow Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say Daylight's sneaking' through the window And I'm still in this all night cafe Walking to and fro beneath the moon Out to where the trucks are rolling slow Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow
Wish I was back in the city instead of this old bank of sand With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go But right now I just sit here so contentedly And watch the river flow
People disagreein' on just about everything, yeah Makes you stop and wonder why Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street Who just couldn't help but cry
Chorus Oh, but this old river keeps on rollin' though No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow And as long as it does I just sit here And watch the river flow
People disagreein' everywhere you look Makes you want to stop and read a book Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook
[Chorus]
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow Watching the river flow Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand And watch the river flow
A Wilderness Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Laura Nyro
Cinnamon hills Sweet child And waves of whisper blue Earth calls to you Every day in every way Momma's puttin' on some warpaint For a little bit of combat You asked the reason You gotta fight for your freedom Sometimes everyday In every way
Many people pass by Caught up in roles and rules Many rivers run free I don't wanna' crush The wilderness in you child Or the wilderness in me How do we keep them both alive? Somehow they must survive Somehow they must survive
We go together Through the changing seasons Hearts afire You know the world needs it Everyday in every way Little darling Zap Touch the earth child Heaven and earth child Ahm ahm ahm Is that a monster? Yep - no, a crocodile Ee's eatin' the bed See im? Ahm ahm ahm I'm ona eat mommy And bed all up! Ahm ahm ahm
A whole new world That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me

Lookin' at the face Of a clock on the wall It said, 'Don, your baby Won't be home again tonight at all' Just another night For waitin' for you, honey Watchin' the late, late, show
I'm just ten cent away By telephone But you won't call You won't bring it home The ceilins' are easin' down My walls are movin' in I got you on my mind Don't know what picture I'm watching In the midnight hour Wanting you in my arms, honey Watching the late, late, show

Watching The Detectives Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello; and various other artists
Nice girls, not one with a defect cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs She is watching the detectives, ooh - "he's so cute" She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the tear-drops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign Visible shivers running down my spine Cut the baby taking off her clothes Close-up of the sign that says "We never close" You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake She is . . .
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now your fear is here to stay Love is here for a visit They call is instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scratching at the window I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay it only took my little fingers to blow you away
Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute It's just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the tear-drops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart Watching the detectives It's just like watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives

Watching My Past Go By Composer(s): Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
I'm sitting here alone So many years have gone And yet it seems like only yesterday That you were by my side We laughed dear and we cried Those memories refused to go away
There's memories that always bring me sorrow And memories I'll treasure till I die No matter what they bring I wouldn't change a thing I'm sitting here Watching My Past Go By
Ah heres Leon
There's smiling eyes of blue Would love light shining through Then like a flash those eyes seem strange and cold The picture that I see is only meant for me Just memories Ive locked within my soul
There's memories that always bring me sorrow And memories I'll treasure till I die No matter what they bring I wouldn't change a thing I'm sitting here Watchin' My Past Go By
A Wink And A Smile Composer(s): Ramsey McLean - Marc Shaiman Performer(s): Harry Connick Jr. and multiple other artists
I remember the days of just keeping time of hanging around in sleepy towns, forever Back roads empty for miles well you cant have a dream and cut it to fit but when I saw you, I knew we go together, like a wink and a smile Leave your old jallopy by the railroad track we'll get a hip, double dip, tip toppy, 2 seat pontiac So you can rev her up don't go slow It's only green lights and alright let's go together with a wink and a smile
Give me a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile Now my heart is music such a simple song singing again, the notes never end this is where I belong Just the sound of your voice the light in your eyes Your so far away from yesterday Together, with a wink and a smile We go together, like a wink and a smile
Watchin' Joey Glow Composer(s): Steve Goodman; Sean Kelly Performer(s): Steve Goodman
Down here in the shelter, we've got everything we need Mom put up her peach preserves Pa's got a book to read Sister knits some bandages, and we turn the lights down low And play some Scrabble, watching Joey glow
At breakfast Mom hands Joe the bread, and he turns it into toast Last night he hugged a leg of lamb, and soon we had a roast You should see him heat the coffee up when he stirs it with his toe We all get hungry, watching Joey glow
You have to wear dark glasses if you look at him a while Or he'll fry your little eyes out with his incandescant smile
At Chistmastime, it sure felt strange, but it was great to see The way we decorated Joe as if he was our tree And his star was shining brightly underneath the mistletoe So we blew him kisses, watching Joey glow
I hope the world's not over, for my sake and for his I'd love for everyone to know how brilliant Joey is
We've been down here for six months now, and we're proud to be alive We owe it to America to sit here and survive So we listen to the static on the short wave radio And count the shock waves, watching Joey glow
