You've got the eyes I've been looking for
You're the only one that I see
And you've got the ears that need to hear
That together we've got love, yes indeed
And you've got the hands that I long to hold
You've got 'em any time that you need
And you've got the arms that embrace all your charms
And together we've got love, yes indeed
Together we've got love and you know it's all we need
Ain't nothin' in this world that'll ever come between
Together we've got love and I think we'd both agree
That together we've got love, yes indeed
You've got the mind I've been dreamin' of
And you're always in my dreams
And you've got the heart that had me from the start
And together we've got love, yes indeed
Together we've got love and you know it's all we need
Ain't nothin' in this world that'll ever come between
Together we've got love and I think we'd both agree
That together we've got love, yes indeed
You've got the legs I've been running to
Well run those long legs over to me
And you've got that smile that has put men on trial
And together we've got love, yes indeed

Verse: Em/G/D/C
Pre Chorus: D/Em/G / D/C/D
Chorus: G/C/G/C/D/C/G
Every night I’m a wreck on the highway16 going on 31
Never knew when to stop before it’s too late
Flashes of blue and green cut the breaks
No I ain’t gonna pray to Jesus
Or the stars up in the sky
‘Cause my questions don’t need answers
When I know the reasons why
Cops on my trail looks like they’re closing in
If I don’t make it to the city tonight
Well I wish you well as far as I can tell
I wasted my precious life
But I ain’t gonna pray to Jesus
Or the stars up in the sky
‘Cause my questions don’t need answers
When I know the reasons why
I’m an unwanted man
Try and catch me if you can
I wouldn’t blame you if you won’t
If you care or if you don’t
‘Cause I understand why no one wants an unwanted man
(solo)
The jury’s still out but the hangman’s in
He’s got my neck in a noose
He pulled that rope so damn hard
He lost control and I got loose
But I ain’t gonna pray to Jesus
Or the stars up in the sky
‘Cause my questions don’t need answers
When I know the reasons why
I’m an unwanted man
Try and catch me if you can
I wouldn’t blame you if you won’t
If you care or if you don’t
‘Cause I understand why no one wants an unwanted man

Verse: E/B/A/E/B7
Pre Chorus: G#7/A/E/B7/E
Chorus: A/E/A/E/A/E/F#m/B7/E
I often lie awake at night with nothing on my mind
‘Cept finding someone to ease my pain and keep me back in line
So I’ve been drinking all my days away, haven’t been to work in weeks
I just lay my head on down where she would rest her cheek
But I want more from this life
And that ain’t askin’ much
‘Cause in my dreams she’s so close that I could touch
And that was the night I met her
And that same night I knew
That she was the one I’ve been dreaming of
And that night that dream came true
I never got her name or number
Just her scent and her smile
And I’ll take it with me to the grave
Down that lonesome country mile
I got home poured me a drink
And I laid myself to bed
And took comfort in the fact
That I’ll see her when I’m dead
But I want more from this life
And that ain’t askin’ much
‘Cause in my dreams she’s so close that I could touch
And that was the night I met her
And that same night I knew
That she was the one I’ve been dreaming of
And that night that dream came true
(solo)
But I want more from this life
And that ain’t askin’ much
‘Cause in my dreams she’s so close that I could touch
And that was the night I met her
And that same night I knew
That she was the one I’ve been dreaming of
And that night that dream came true

Verse: C/F/C
Chorus: Dm/C/Dm/C/Dm/C/Am/G/G7
Bridge: Am/C/G/F (x3) Am/G/C
Where’d my baby go? I don’t know
And where’s my baby stay? She stays away
Will I get a second chance? Not a chance
Has she found somebody new? I don’t know but it ain’t you
Somebody’s gone and took my place
He’s got money to burn and a better face
He’s got it all he’s got it now
And I ain’t too proud to beg
What’s on my baby’s mind? Leaving you behind
Has my baby got a plan? A tall, dark, and handsome plan
I heard she’s happy is it true? Happier than you
Will you tell her I said hello? I did and she just goes
Somebody’s gone and took your place
He’s got money to burn and a better face
He’s got it all he’s got it now
And I ain’t too proud to beg
That’s alright, That’s alright now babe
You deserve to be happier than me
That’s alright, that’s alright now babe
was only a matter of time ’til you saw I had no spine
That’s alright, that’s alright now babe
I’ve been here before looks like I’ll be sticking ‘round some more
That’s alright, that’s alright, that’s all-right
Where’d my baby go? I don’t know
Will I ever love again?

Pre chorus: Em/D (x3) A
Chorus: G/D (x3) A G/D (x3) A/D
Well I met Loretta down at the fisherman’s hall
She was slammin’ ‘em back with the best of them all
So I walked up to her and I bought her a beer
She said this’ll do but whiskey’d be better my dear
And then some time passed
My head in the clouds
I wandered the streets
And walked through the crowd
To find my Loretta
And bring her back home safe and sound
But you can’t change the weather
And you can’t change the time
You can turn back the clock
But you won’t change her mind
Nothin’ I wouldn’t give
To get her to stay
Those wild whiskey women
And their wild whiskey ways
From one end of town to the other I go
Searchin’ the barrooms for someone who’d know
Where she ends up at the end of each night
I know it ain’t my home I’ve turned out that light long ago
And then some time passed
My head in the clouds
I wandered the streets
And walked through the crowd
To find my Loretta
And bring her back home safe and sound
But you can’t change the weather
And you can’t change the time
You can turn back the clock
But you won’t change her mind
Nothin’ I wouldn’t give
To get her to stay
Those wild whiskey women
And their wild whiskey ways

Verse: Em/G
Chorus: Am/B7/C/D
Bridge: C/G/Em (x3) Am (F#/G/) D
If you’ve got yourself a good one
Don’t let go don’t look down
The heights of our successes
Look much better from the ground
You’ve got that look upon your face
Like you’ve got something you wanna say
You gotta want it, babe
You gotta want it, babe
These are uncertain times
And you put your faith in me
Am I different from the other men
Well I guess we’ll wait and see
You’ve got that look upon your face
Like you’ve got something you wanna say
You gotta want it, babe
You gotta want it, babe
It’s the little victories
That keep us from the ledge
It’s the little victories
That keep us balanced on the edge
It’s the little victories
Well it’s you that I see in the end
(solo)
I saw it in a dream the kids, the car and the machine
It startled me at first but now I know it’s what I need
You’ve got that look upon your face
Like you’ve got something you wanna say
You gotta want it, babe
You gotta want it, babe
You gotta want it, babe
You gotta want it, babe

As Long

I waited up all night just to see you come home
You know the way you treat me isn't right
And any other man would just be gone
But I don't require that you be true to me just as long as you come home
Sometimes I cry in my sleep, it's such a burden on my chest
You really know how to get to me when I lay down to take my rest
But I don't require that you be true to me just as long as you come home
These indentions in your pillow, where you used to lay your head
That's all I have to look at, when I lay me down to bed
I waited up all night just to see you come home
You know the way you treat me isn't right
And any other man would just be gone
But I don't require that you be true to me just as long as you come home

Verse: D/D/G/D/A/D
Chorus: G/F#7/Bm/G/D/A/D
I lost my faith in the setting of the sun
It hid behind a mountain and ran off with a nun
Now I’m halfway to Jasper I’ve come completely undone
I’ve got no one to blame ‘cept the man in these shoes
And I got a funny feelin’ these ain’t no part time blues
When I get through Alberta I’ll get through to you
So tell me a story that even I can understand
About a boy who ain’t yet a man
And send ‘em to jasper
With the sunset in his hands
(solo)
Road weary traveler white knuckles on the wheel
I don’t know where I’m going but I’ll get there still
And I guess if I don’t make it Hell we’ll know it’s god’s will
And as the sun goes down and the day goes dark
One headlight shining at an unfamiliar ark
Now I’m wading in the water trying to find a place to park
So tell me a story that even I can understand
About a boy who ain’t yet a man
And send ‘em to jasper
With the sunset in his hands
So tell me a story that even I can understand
About a boy who ain’t yet a man
And send ‘em to jasper
With the sunset in his hands
Yeah send ‘em to Jasper with the sunset in his hands

The Other Only Tried

I've got an angel on my shoulder, the devil right beside
Well they say one is good, and I say I can't decide
Only one broke my heart, thank God, the other only tried
Where do you go when you've got no place to go
Those you know well they don't know
And if they knew well, you'd know, too
If it were true well we'd be through
I can only speak for myself, and I stutter every time that I try
If I had a drink for every word I never said
My mouth wouldn't be so damn dry
Well I'd gladly drink it down
Scotch, bourbon, beer, wine, whiskey, gin, and rye!
Where do you go when you've got no place to go
Those you know well they don't know
And if they knew well, you'd know, too
If it were true well we'd be through

Beer & Blow
04:33

Well some love's tough and some love's rough, and some love don't even count
Well sure enough it'll bring you up but twice as hard it'll knock you down
I don't mind when you do me so, I've got no other place to go
I don't mind your heart so cold, I've got the beer if you've got the blow
29 years and I'm all out of luck I think I wasted all my precious time
Well I had a little money but I spent it real quick
I guess I had some fun along the line
I don't mind when you do me so, I've got no other place to go
I don't mind your heart so cold, I've got the beer if you've got the blow
How do you know when you're too old, you're bettin' when you should fold now
I've got mistakes I could learn from but half the time I'm too drunk to care
Too drunk to care
Well some love's tough and some love's rough, and some love don't even count
Yet sure enough it'll bring you up but twice as hard it'll knock you down
I don't mind when you do me so, I've got no other place to go
I don't mind your heart so cold, I've got the beer if you've got the blow
How do you know when you're too old, you're bettin' when you should fold now
I've got mistakes I could learn from but half the time I'm too drunk to care
Too drunk to care
