PLEASE REMEMBER ME
AS I MOVE AWAY FROM YOU TOO SOON
TELL YOUR CHILDREN NOW
ALL ABOUT ME AND HOW
MUCH I MEANT TO YOU
LOOK FOR ME SOMEDAY
AS DUSTY PICTURES FADE
IN THE CORNERS OF YOUR MIND
THINK ABOUT ME SOMETIME
WITH A SMILE INSIDE
AND AS THE CROW FLIES
THAT OL CLAPBOARD HOUSE
WINDOWS BROKEN OUT
WAS ONCE A PRIZE
NEWSPAPER COVERED WALLS
HEARD VOICES IN IT’S HALLS
OF DREAMS AND FOOLISH PRIDE
OUTSIDE THE DUSTY ROAD
LIKE TALCUM POWDER ROSE
THROUGH BAREFOOT CHILDRENS TOES
MY SPIRITS FLYING HIGH
OVER GREEEN FIELDS, BLUE SKIES
AS THE CROW FLIES
IF EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY
AND THE WORDS ARE REALLY TRUE
WOULD YOU HEAR WHAT I WAS SAYING
WHEN MY PICTURE SPOKE TO YOU?
FAVORITE BLUE
Debra J Ohlinger/Rick Hayes
All rights reserved
THAT IS MY FAVORITE BLUE
COME HERE I’L SHOW IT TO YOU
COBALT SKIES
MILES HIGH
THAT IS THE COLOR OF HOPE
LOOK UP AND PRAY HOLY GHOSTS
WILL SPARE US
OUR BLUE NOTE
CHORUS
SLUMP SHOULDERED LOVERS
MOONLIGHT BLUE SKIN
FIX SKIPPING RECORDS
COME BACK AGAIN
NOW MIDNIGHT BLUE FILLS THE SKY
CLOUDS BURTS WITH TEARS AS THEY SIGH
BLUE LOVERS
TAKE COVER
BLUE LOVERS SHUFFLE ALONG
HUMMING THEIR FAVORITE SONG
SO LONESOME
I COULD CRY
CHORUS
SLUMP SHOULDERED LOVERS
MOONLIGHT BLUE SKIN
FIX SKIPPING RECORDS
COME BACK AGAIN
SOLO
NOW ENDS THE TRYING TOO HARD
START A NEW SONG FROM YOUR HEART
COBALT BLUE
HERE’S TO YOU.

STORIES FROM LONG AGO
STORIES FROM LONG AGO
KEPT IN THOSE OL' PAPER BAGS
COVERED WITH OILY RAGS
STORED IN THE TRUNKS BELOW
THOSE DIRTY TRUNKS BELOW
CHORUS
STOP THAT NOW YOU'LL RUIN OUR DINNER
AFTER ALL YOU'RE JUST A BIG SINNER
HOW DO WE KNOW YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH?
PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE JUMPING OFF ROOFS
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW
STORIES FROM LONG AGO
STORIES FROM LONG AGO
SOLO
CHORUS2
YEARS AND YEARS HOT SALTY TEARS
DRIP LIKE WAX ON COLD DEAF EARS
HOW DO WE KNOW YOU'RE TELLIN' THE TRUTH?
PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE JUMPING OF ROOFS!
NOBODY WANTS TO MOVE
NOBODY WANTS TO MOVE
THE FURNITURE 'ROUND THE ROOM
THE FURNITURE 'ROUND THE ROOM
IT'S JUST FINE WHERE IT IS
YOU'LL ONLY BOTHER THE KIDS
YOU'LL MAKE US MISS OUR SHOW
WE'RE GONNA MISS OUR SHOW
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW

SAW THIS HOTTIE LATE ON NIGHT
HAVE TO SAY HE LOOKED JUST RIGHT
LATER WHEN I WAS ABLE
I MOSEYED OVER TO HIS TABLE
AND SAID..HEY THERE BABE...I SING THE BLUES
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE CRUISE
HE LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN
NARROWED THOSE BABY BLUE
THEN HE SAID , SORRY HON, BUT TO ME
ITS ALL ABOUT THE SHOES
ITS ALL ABOUT THE SHOES
IF YA DONT WANNA LOSE
BEFORE YOU DOAN YOUR THREADS A NIGHT
CONSIDER THE SHOES
NOW CLEAN RAGS AND A PROPER LID
MEAN ONE THING TO A MAN
BUT IF YOU WANT TO SCORE AT NIGHT
YOU BETTER GET YOURSELF A BETTER PLAN
CHORUS
AFTER THAT NIGHT I VOWED THAT I
WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE
UNLESS I DOANED A PAIR OF SHOES
MEANT FOR STEPPIN OUT

DEAR OL SOMETIMES LONG LOST FRIEND
YOU LET THAT DAMMED OL' PHANTOM IN
WHILE YOU FED YOUR COWS AND CHICKENS
HE WAS UPSTAIRS IN YOUR KITCHEN
EATING ALL YOUR CHOCOLATE CAKE AND PIE

MUDDY BOOTS ON YOUR CLEAN SHEETS
HE'LL BE LAYIN THERE FOR WEEKS
SMOKIN' DOPE AND WATCHING GOMER PYLE
CHORUS
YOU BETTER GET HIM OUT
YOU BETTER SCREAM AND SHOUT
YOU BETTER GET HIM OUT

HERE HE COMES AGAIN
ASKING WHERE U BEEN

LOOKIN FOR A WAY TO GET INSIDE

I MET A FELLA SAID HE’D GIVE ME SOME ATTENTION

YOU SEE SWEET BABY, SHES REALLY MEAN TO ME
I TOOK HIM HOME TO MEET MY DEAR OL’ FASHIONED MAMA
SHE TOOK ONE LOOK AND THEN SHE GRABBED ME BY THE COLLAR

THEN YOU’LL BE CRYIN’…MAMA HE’S MEAN TO ME
MAMA HES MEAN TO ME
DOES EVERY WOMAN HE SEES
I CAUGHT HIM RUNNIN’ AROUND W EVERY HUSSY IN TOWN
HE’S JUST SO MEAN TO ME
ONE DARK NIGHT I REALIZED
ALL HIS LINES WERE GREAT BIG LIES
VISIONS BY THE DASH BOARD LIGHT
ROBBED ME OF MY SLEEP AT NIGHT
SOLO
ONE DARK NIGHT I REALIZED
ALL HIS LINES WERE GREAT BIG LIES
VISIONS BY THE DASH BOARD LIGHT
ROBBED ME OF MY SLEEP AT NIGHT
I GUESS I GOTTA WEAR THIS STUPID SCARLET LETTER
IT GOES SO WELL WITH STICKY TAR AND ALL THESE FEATHERS
MAYBE SOME DAY I’LL FINALLY GET WITH SOMETHIN’ BETTER
THEN I’LL BE CRYIN’ ‘BOUT SOME OTHER FINE YOUNG FELLA
THERE’LL BE NO CRYIN’
MAMA HE’S MEAN TO ME
MAMA HES MEAN TO ME
DOES EVERY WOMAN HE SEES
I CAUGHT HIM RUNNIN’ AROUND W EVERY HUSSY IN TOWN
HE’S JUST SO MEAN TO ME

KILLER WATER ROSE
ROUND MY KNEES AND FROZE
FEAR INTO MY BONES
SHOULD I STAY OR GO?
STAY OR GO
SHOULD I STAY OR GO?
SAID MY BUDDHIST PRAYER
LEFT YOU STANDING THERE
SEARCHED FOR ME EVERYWHERE
EVERYWHERE
SOAKING WET EVERYWHERE
I KEPT CALLING OUT TO YOU
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO
JUMPED THAT SAD TRAILWAYS
SIDEWAYS RAIN FOR DAYS
DIESEL IN MY MOUTH
ANYWHERE BUT SOUTH
ANYWHERE BUT SOUTH
ANYWHERE SOLID GROUND
EYES AS BLACK AS COAL
WINDOWS TO THE SOUL
WHY’D YOU LET MY HAND GO
WHY DID YOU LET GO
KILLER WATER LET GO
YOU SHARED YOUR MEAGER MEAL WITH ME
IT TASTED LIKE INTEGRITY
KILLER SOLO
CHIPPED ENAMAL CUP
BARELY STRENGTH TO HOLD UP
FRUITLESS DEED IN THE MUD
STUCK IN MUD
NEVER HOLD MY HEAD UP
I KEPT CALLING OUT TO YOU
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO
EYES AS BLACK AS COAL
KILLER WATER WILL FLOW….vamp
