Dixie Lullaby (feat. Bruce Hornsby)
Clint Black & Bruce Hornsby
(Leon Russell - Chris Stainton)
Why don't you gather round me people, got a song to sing
About that sweet magnolia thyme
Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew
And papa brought some homemade wine.
All you southern children like to rock'n roll
The TV mamas tell you why
They got it on the boat from Africa
It's that Dixie Lullaby.
Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine
Stand down on Beale Street
And Willie would stop and just to say hello
All the shoes he'd meet.
Why are you so happy said the clean white buck
You got no reason to be happy Mr Time
And Willie would stop and just pop his rag
With a Dixie Lullaby.
--- Instrumental ---
So now you know the story of my southern home

A Lover's Clown
Tiny peices of my heart
Like confetti everywhere
Hidden sorrows in the dark
You can feel it in the air
The spotlight finds me
I can no longer hide my frown
Say hello to a lover's clown
Distorted mirror images
Turn the good to bad
If that's not the way it is
Why am I so sad?
Strangers laughter is the only sound
Silence from a lover's clown
Girl that's me everybody's laughing at
With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act
Comedy, tragedy, reality
It all plays the same
If you don't want me
Tumbling from the high wire
Without a net

Under The Mistletoe
Theres no telling how far a kissll go
Wish on the highest star that thisll go
On right here where we are under the mistletoe
On christmas night, it seems so right
That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me
If love is this, its my favourite recipe
The kind that fits to remind the rest of me
Theres room to grow, under the mistletoe
But I made this mist as a christmas wannabe
With a christmas list that insists Ive gotta be
Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me
On christmas night and every night
Just right here, in the doorway where they found us
Theyd like to leave but theres no way around us
I believe theres a spell that bound us
Ive gotta know, is it only the mistletoe
Gotta know, Im afraid to go
Dont want out if were in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And Ive gotta know, is it only the mistletoe

Desperado
Desperado
Why dont you come to your senses
Ben out ridin fences, for so long now
Oh, youre a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow
Dont you draw the queen of diamonds boy
Shell beat you if shes able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
But it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you cant get
Desperado
Oh, you aint gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger, theyre drivin you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well thats just some people talkin
Your prison is walkin through this world all alone
Dont your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
Its hard to tell the nighttime from the day

Who I Used To Be
(Clint BlackHayden Nicholas)
The memories and emotions that I've been through
Are things I can't unlearn
But I won't go on standing on the bridges
You've tried so hard to burn
I can't put those fires out and let somebody in
If everything my life's about is who we might've been
Till we forget the love we lost we won't remember
How to love again
That's who I use to be holding onto nothing
Giving everything I use to be to belong to someone
That I know is who I use to see when I looked at you
You were never I use to be and I'm not who I use to be
Coming to my senses now I'm feeling things
I thought I couldn't'dt feel
I don't take for granted if it feels like love
It must not be real
I still find myself out on some bridges now and then
I'm stuck out in the middle trying to reach the other end
But I'm through holding back the flames

I'll Take Texas
=========================================================================
There's no reason I should go
When I really want to stay
There's no place that I know
I'd go to anyway
If you ask me, I'll take Texas any day
There's folks who travel 'round
Ain't no place they will stay
And they never can be found
Anywhere but on their way
But you can find me here in Texas any day
There's everything and more than you could hope to find
From the sandy beaches to the mountains and the pines
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas any day
There's no reason I should go
And you really ought to stay
By now you've got to know
There's only one thing I could say

My Imagination
Standing there with her arms around no one
No one who'd die for her right where he stands
Looking around like she's looking for someone
Looking like she's got time on her hands
Funny how much you can see in someone
Across the room who you don't even know
Telling you things she would tell to no one
Taking you places she's wanted to go.
Like a walk in the rain, a place in the sun
With a lifetime of love that has only begun
Doing all of the things only lovers can do
My imagination is running away with you.
Walking away and I'm walking beside her
Into forever here in my mind
Deraming a dream that we're dreaming together
Finding the things only lovers can find.
Like a walk on the moon, a dance in the stars
With a love light that finds us wherever we are
And our own happy ending will always come true
My imagination is running away with you.

The Shoes Youre Wearing
Weve all seen enough wrong and right
To know everythings not black and white
Theres always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You dont get anything you dont give
Still no slate is clean
For better or worse, anybody can
Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how hes faring
No matter what kind of shoes hes wearing
The shoes hes wearing
They dont make the man
So many people out running around
Handicapped before they hit the ground
Thinking theres nowhere to go
Shouldnt we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
Were not chained to what we know
But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
Theres no tellin what a man can be

One More Payment
Aint that the way the luck goes
Seems like it never can be found
Break my back to make those bank notes
Payin on an almost always broken down
Fix that car nine ways to sunday
And it wont start again when monday rolls around
Aint that the way the rent goes
Seems like its never goin down
And that bankers bound to foreclose
At this rate, Ill lose my interest in this town
Paint the walls mend the windows
bout the time the roof comes crumblin to the ground
Ive been footin the bill for some time
Stretchin my credit out of line
Well I may not get ahead but now I wont be far behind
Ive got one more payment and its mine
Were gonna swing it
Aint that the way the heart goes
Seems they just attack without a sign
My minds been on vacation

Wherever You Go
Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if theres something to soothe
Its a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it dont matter what youre leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do its the same old you
Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you wont get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are
Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When youre out on a wire its a matter of time
Changing every moment when youre taking the fall
Theres everything to gain when youre losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and its keeping you down
Think youre gettin higher but youre still layin low
You dont want to be anyone you know
