"WELCOME TO THE CLUB" I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' to yourself How she slipped right through your hands And in between all of the four letter words You said you're never gonna understand You gave her everything you thought she wanted Now all you want is gone You're just one of many broken hearted Wonderin' what went wrong CHORUS: Welcome to the club Don't be thinkin' you're the only one Whose heart was in a hit 'n' run While you look the other way As you're howlin' at the moon Take a look around the room At all your fellow fools of love Welcome to the club Over in the corner is old Larry John Gettin' over wife number two And sittin' next to him is a regular heir They're as lonely as me and you We got one thing in common when we walked in A memory we're tryin' to kill Swearin' up and down we'll never try again, but We know we will (Repeat chorus) Welcome to the club Welcome to the club Welcome to the club "TWO STEPPIN' MIND" Swingin' doors Neon lights Hardwood floors It's Saturday night All my dancin' doves I got a cold long start I've got a two steppin' mind And a honky tonk heart CHORUS: I've got a two steppin' mind And a honky tonk heart I need a five-peice band With my fiddle and steel guitar Someone to hold When the music starts I've got a two steppin' mind And a honky tonk heart It's at the hour When I get there Pretty girls And they're everywhere There ain't no way To keep us apart I've got a two steppin' mind And a honky tonk heart (Repeat chorus 2x) Hey, I've got a two steppin' mind And a honky tonk heart
"THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE LEFT" Some people say I'm one of those guys With blessings in life over looked Sometimes I feel like the tatter torn pages Of some old paperback book All the places I've played and the money I've made Still I've got nothing to show And the only thing that I have left In the whole wide world Is you You put your whole life into somethin' you love And you never get that one big break Gotta take you out of the back street bars And put you on center stage But a million tears and a million beers Have just about washed me up And the only thing that I have left In the whole wide world Is you CHORUS: I gave it all I had Every night for all these years Pourin' out my soul Till it was gone I spread myself so thin And I'm just barely hangin' on But tonight I'm with you And you can carry me through Just lo---ve me Cuz the only thing that I have left In the whole wide world Is you (Repeat chorus) Oh, is you "YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU (WHEN YOU GO)" Well, I'm gonna hafta get a new mail box Cuz all she left me was a hole And I'm gonna hafta get a new washin' machine As soon as I get some new clothes Well, I could close my eyes and run through this house And never once stub my big toe It was a man who'd never been left Who said, "You can't take it with you when you go" CHORUS: Well, she took everything but the kitchen sink If I had me a glass, Lord, I'd pour me a drink It's a lesson hard learned But it just goes to show You can take it with you When you go Well, I'm sittin' here on this hard floor Where a big, soft couch used to be And I'm starrin' at a bug on the wall Where there used to be a TV Well, I'd kill that sucker in a heartbeat If I could find me anything to throw I was so naive To have ever believed You can take it with you when you go (Repeat chorus 2x) I oughta call somebody But I ain't got a phone Just goes to show You can take it with you when you go
"AIN'T NO ANGELS" I've lead a liftime Fightin' this land Workin' for nothin' With these dry, callus hands I'm a slave to the sun It ain't cuttin' me no slack Gets me beggin' whenever I look back CHORUS: Ain't no glory in this livin' Ain't no runnin' from your sins I hope there's angels where I'm goin' Ain't no angels where I've been Three generations Countin' on me To work this farm Keep it in the family Well, I've done all I can And it's past becomin' clear That I can't hold out Much longer here (Repeat chorus 2x) Ain't no angels where I've been "MEMORY LANE" People ask me, "Whatchya doin' son, You're gonna drive yourself insane You'll never find the sunshine When you're followin' the rain." Seems like I take a new road After all these years But I wind up on that same old trail of tears CHORUS: I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane Cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you Reminiscin' through the pain Recallin' things we used to do I'm lookin' up an old flame Down on Heartbreak Avenue I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane Cuz I know I'll be runnin' Into you I hate the way I loved you But my mind keeps goin' back My train of thought Just won't get off That same old worn out track It's an every night occasion Me and your memory meet On that endless lonely street of broken dreams (Repeat chorus 2x) [Here she comes now] I'm still walkin' Down Memory Lane I'm still walkin' Down Memory Lane I'm still walkin'(walkin') Down Memory Lane Lord, I'm walkin' Down Memory Lane Oh, I'm walkin'(walkin') Down Memory Lane
"TEARS IN THE RAIN" It was rainin' hard in Houston When I ran into her I searched for conversation But I was lost for words Then a cloud of tear-filled memories Came crashin' down on me If it hadn't been for the pourin' rain I'm sure she would have seen... CHORUS: Tears in the rain Pattin' the pain Maybe she'd come back If she could see me cry She thinks I'm so strong Oh, but she's so wrong She just couldn't see these tears in the rain Now, I'll regret that moment Cuz I didn't let her know How much I still loved her I was hopin' it would show But the raindrops and the teardrops Ran together on my face Now she'll never, ever know No one could ever take her place (Repeat chorus) she thinks I'm so strong Oh, but she's so wrong She just couldn't see these tears in the rain "WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND" She took the TV and the toaster She took the curtains and the car I guess she took for granted I wouldn't take it very hard And for someone in a hurry She took her own sweet time But it's not what she took that hurt It's what she left behind CHORUS: A bedroom full of memories That time cannot erase Photographs of the two of us That she said, "Throw away" She took my heart and soul And left me here to lose my mind No, it's not what she took that hurt It's what she left behind She said, "I've given you my best But I can't take no more" She said, "I've run outa reasons" Then she walked out the door It's gonna take a lot of doin' To get over her goodbye Cuz it's not what she took that hurt It's what she left behind (Repeat chorus) She took my heart and soul And left me here to lose my mind No, it's not what she took that hurt It's what she left behind
"WHAT ROOM WAS THE HOLIDAY IN" * You've got a glow That's not a suntan And a new gleam In your eyes Oh, it must have been One grat vacation Girl, you look So satisfied CHORUS: Tell me what room Was the holiday in Was I outta your mind When you turned to him What a good time It must have been Tell me what room Was the holiday in You said you needed A small vacation Just a couple of days All by yourself So, off you went In a new direction And what you found Was someone else (Repeat chorus 2x) Tell me what room (what room) Was the holiday in Was I outta your mind When you turned to him (Repeating while slowly trailing off) "I KEEP IT UNDER MY HAT" It looks a little leather So it looks good on me But since you've left I'm wearin' This old hat differently Hang when rainin' some It keeps out all but one CHORUS: I keep the brim pulled down Whenever those teardrops come around So nobody else can see Just what your memory does to me I know I can't hide But, baby, I still got my pride When your memory comes back I keep it under my hat Last night, I thought I'd go out I don't know where my head was at I had to turn around, Go back and get my hat And I was glad I did When I saw you with him (Repeat chorus replacing "keep" with "kept") When your memory comes back I keep it under my hat (Produced by James Stroud and Byron Gallimore) (*Produced by James Stroud and Doug Johnson)
