ALBUM: Greatest Hits


"Two Pump Texaco"

He was wipin' motor oil off her dipstick
She was pullin' on the hair that got caught in her lipstick
And with the smell of her perfume he forgot the smell of gasoline
As he was toppin' off her tank she said, "How far to Abilene?"

He sees 'em come
He sees 'em go
From the island of his
Two pump Texaco

There's a rusted out Rambler up on the rack
And a pile of bald Goodyear's out in the back
He meets families on vacation, bikers and businessmen
He calls 'em "friend" but he'll probably never see 'em again
No he won't

He sees 'em come
He sees 'em go
From the island of his
Two pump Texaco
He keeps 'em moving
On down the road
Come back real soon
To his two pump Texaco

He's heard about those big city shop-n-go stations
With twenty automated self-service machines
He just feels sorry for them big city people
They must not know what service really means
He's got a sign that says

Last chance stop for at least two hundred miles
Maps, gas, soda pop,
Lucky Strikes and Moon Pies
Yeah, he's a third generation filler-up, full service man
He thanks the Lord for that "star" in the sky and the grease on his hands
Yeah he does

He sees 'em come
He sees 'em go
From the island of his
Two pump Texaco
It's like a place we used to know
Come back real soon
To his two pump Texaco


    




"Miss That Girl"

Cold gray dawn, steel blue day sunset rust tonight
It's the same old picture to a love struck man
Who's suddenly seen the light
And I miss that girl
Yeah I miss that girl

I guess I moved too slow and thought too fast
And lost what might have been
Now I face the pain of a wounded heart
Dyin' to try again

But I missed my chance and now she's gone
Life's too short and the odds too long to miss that girl
Well I miss that kiss and I miss that smile
A miss like this is a million miles
And I miss that girl
Yeah I miss that girl

Sometimes I hear that voice and see those eyes
And I remember when those arms were open wide
It's like I missed the phone by half a ring
I missed the point of this whole dang thing
And I miss that girl

Yeah I miss that kiss and I miss that smile
A miss like this is a million miles
And I miss that girl
Oh I miss that girl

Yeah I miss that kiss and I miss that smile
A miss like this is a million miles
And I miss that girl
Oh I miss that girl
Oh I miss that girl


    




"You're Gone"

I said hello I think I'm broken
And though I was only jokin'
It took me by surprise when you agreed
I was tryin' to be clever
For the life of me I never
Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead
You knew all my lines
You knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain
No medicine can fix

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that He let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good news is I'm better
For the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone

Lookin' back it's still surprisin'
I was sinking you were rising
With a look you caught me in mid-air
Now I know God has His reasons
But sometimes it's hard to see them
When I awake and find that you're not there
You found hope in hopeless
Your made crazy sane
You became the missing link
That helped me break my chains

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that He let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good news is I'm better
For the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone
The bad news is you're gone


    




"What More Do You Want From Me"

I gave you my heart for years and years
What more do you want from me
My laughter and my lonely tears
What more do you want from me

I've been faithful to you beginning to end
Isn't that enough
I gave you my all and I gave it again
What more do you want

Oh love, what else could there be
Oh love, what more do you want from me

I've been fooled by what I believed was you
Oh what a sweet disguise
I pledged my heart forever true
'Cause I thought it was you in her eyes

Oh love, what else could there be
Oh love, what more do you want from me

Oh give me a clue, what is it with you
Is there somethin' that I can't see
What more do you need what more could there be
What more do you want

Oh love, what else could there be
Oh love, what more do you want from me
Oh love, what else could there be
Oh love, what more do you want from me
Oh love, what more do you want from me


    




"Unbelievable"

She's so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
She's a mouthful of anything and everything a man could want
She ain't typical, she's unpredictable, she's available, it's a miracle
How my heart stumbled into someone so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable

Up 'til now my life has been so lonely and boring
I never thought I would find someone so

Elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
She's so beautiful, it's indisputable, it's undeniable, she's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable

There's so many things
I want to tell her
Like I love her
But every time I talk
I start to stutter

She's so elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
She's so beautiful, it's indisputable, it's undeniable, she's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable

Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable


    




"Long Way Back"

Sitting in a cafe at the corner of Broad and Grand
Stirring up old memories and the coffee in my hand
The waitress stopped and asked me
Honey do you know what you want
I had to stop myself from telling her the truth
What I really need is another chance with you
But this temper train I'm on just ran away too fast
It's a long, long, way back to you baby
It's a long, long, way back

The neon clock is humming showing sign of wear
I've lost all sense of time since I've been sitting here
The waitress asked again
Is there something else you need
I need to take the hands off that clock above my head
Reset the time and take back everything I said
If I could turn around, then I would erase my tracks
But it's a long, long way back, to you baby
It's a long, long way back

It is a lonely road a fool travels down
I guess I oughta know 'cause that's where I'm headed now
And it's a long, it's a long, way back

Sitting at the cafe just Ruby Lee and me
I get feeling she's waiting on me to leave
She stopped askin' hours ago if I know what I want

Yeah but it's a long, long way back, to you baby
It's a long, long way back
I miss you darlin'
It's a long, long way back


    




"I Thought I'd Seen Everything"

Here I am a single guy
I've seen a lot in this crazy life
There you are, what can I say
I guess you took my breath away
Something in your eyes took me by surprise
'Cause when I looked at you something you do
Is telling me more than I ever knew, oh baby

I thought I'd seen everything, 'til I saw you
I thought I'd seen everything baby I thought I knew
Now here I am alone with you
What am I supposed to do
Should I stay or should I go
Something tells me I should know

It's something in your touch that makes me feel so much
You took me by surprise I realize
And now I can't believe my eyes, oh baby

I thought I'd seen everything, 'til I saw you
I thought I'd seen everything, baby I thought I knew
I've been around the world, seen a lot of girls
In and out of love 'til I had enough

I thought I had everything, 'til I had you, oh baby
Baby let your lovin' take me all the way
I thought I'd seen everything, 'til I saw you
I thought I'd seen everything, baby I thought I knew
I thought I'd seen everything, oh baby


    




"Hold Me Now"

Oopsie daisy I'm losin' my mind
Hold me now, hold me now
Clock on the wall says
I'm outta time
Hold me now, hold me now

I gotta reason but
I'm all outta rhyme
Hold me now, hold me now
Sometimes the answers are just so hard to find
Hold me now

When my grip on the day
Starts slippin' away
If I'm gonna fall at all
I'm gonna fall in love with you

Here I go I'm fallin' again
Hold me now, hold me now
It always happens when your love comes in
Hold me now, hold me now

My hopes and dreams have been left out in the cold
Hold me now, hold me now
Feels like the world is spinnin' outta control
Hold me now

When my grip on the day (when my grip on the day)
Starts slippin' away (starts slippin' away)
If I'm gonna fall at all
I'm gonna fall in love with you

Here I go I'm fallin' again
Hold me now, hold me now
It all gets better when your love comes in
Hold me now

I'm gonna fall in love with you

Here I go I'm fallin' again
Hold me now, hold me now
It always happens when your love comes in
Hold me now, hold me now

Here I go I'm fallin' again
Hold me now, hold me now
It all gets better when your love comes in
Hold me now, hold me now
Hold me now


    




"I Know How The River Feels"

They say for everyone, there's that certain one
Out there, somewhere
I'd been looking hard, searching every heart
Getting nowhere
Didn't know I was making my way to you

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense
Here beside you
Tears like water fall, it was worth it all
Just to find you
And yours are the last arms I'll run to

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Oh, I know how the river feels


    




"I Will (Start All Over Again)"

The lights of the city
Look good when you're leaving
You don't even count what you lost

The streets and their madness
Make my heart so sad
They will never be worth what they cost

Take me to the mountain
I want to see the other side

Oh give me one golden day
And I won't care where I've been
Oh let this world slip away
And I'll start all over again
I will start all over again

I'm through with the struggle
And tired of the trouble
It's high time I left it behind

I've walked the mean streets
Just counting my heartbeats
It's easy to lose your mind

I'll break the chains that bind me
For my soul is deep and wide

Oh give me one golden day
And I won't care where I've been
Oh let this world slip away
And I'll start all over again
I will start all over again

As sure as the sun keeps rising on me
I'll find a place where I ought to be

Oh give me one golden day
And I won't care where I've been
Oh let this world slip away
And I'll start all over again
I will start all over again
And I won't care where I've been
Oh let this world slip away
And I'll start all over again
I will start all over againOver again
