1. BABY YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND

It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Cause baby you've been on my mind

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
Or saying I can't forget you
Well it don't even matter who you awaken with tomorrow
Cause baby you've been on my mind

When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'll just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind

It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Cause baby you've been on my mind

Baby you've been on my mind

Baby you've been on my mind


2. SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine


3. BET NO ONE EVER HURT THIS BAD

Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane
All the troubles I had
Bet no one ever hurt this bad

My baby left me all alone
Wait for a letter sit by the phone
It makes me so sad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad

Since you went away
I can't face the day
Night brings nothing but pain
I thought I could go on
I see that I was wrong
Baby please come home
I just can't to be alone

Somebody somewhere hear my plea
Send my baby home to me
It would make me so glad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad

Since you went away
I can't face the day
Night brings nothing but pain
I thought I could go on
I see that I was wrong
Baby please come home
Well I can't stand to be alone

Somebody somewhere hear my plea
Send my baby home to me
It would make me so glad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad

Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane
Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane


4. A NUMBER AND A NAME

How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way

Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time


5. THE ONLY MAMA THAT'LL WALK THE LINE

Well everybody knows you been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you on the head with a pan of cornbread
If you had any sense you'd quit

[Chorus]
Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
I said you were the only man in this whole world
So now you'd better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only mama that'll walk the line

Well I'm a-workin' every day all you wanna do is play
I'm gettin' tired of staying home all night
Well I'm a-coming unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right

[Chorus]

Well I'm a-packin' up my clothes
Nearly everybody knows that you're still just a-puttin' me on
And when I start a-walkin' gonna hear you start a-squawkin'
And a-beggin' me to come back home

[Chorus]

You got the only mama that'll walk the line
You got the only mama that'll walk the line


6. THE LONG WAY AROUND

It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around

Take a look how young we are
A month has changed the moon and the stars
Changing the things we do
You've been lookin' for something strong
When other things don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around

Well I can't see beyond the doubt that's in your eye
It's on the outskirts of my fading alibi

It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around


7. BREAK ON MY MIND

Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

[Chorus]
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about high flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind

[Chorus](x2)

Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind


8. I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT

Close your eyes close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight


9. IT'S ABOUT TIME

It only seems like yesterday
You got a restless look
Said goodbye in the same old way
Like I knew you would

You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind

I always wondered where you went
To find some peace of mind
You never seemed to give much thought
To leaving me behind

You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind


10. WE NEED A LOT MORE OF JESUS

Well you can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
Crime is sweeping the nation
This world is about to go

We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll

We need more old time camp meetings
And a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain
Save our souls from the burning waste

We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll

We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
When you're in their presence
Well you know that the Lord is there

We need a nationwide revival
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll

We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll


11. THE DOLPHINS

This old world may never change
Not the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all hate is gone

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the times
When we were running wild

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

This old world may never change
This old world may never change
