Like Red On A Rose
Like Red On A Rose Tracks

(Tim Krekel, Danny O\'Keefe)
I\'ve been ridin\' these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
My weary bones can go no farther
And here is where they\'ll drop
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Then release me to my journey
As another day grows light
(Chorus)
I\'ve got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
I\'ve always been a gypsy
And the road calls me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home
(Chorus)
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

You called it quits
And hung up the phone
Now go love, the one you choose
And my friends say I should be happy
But if I\'m happy
This is a good imitation of the blues
You threatened to leave one too many times
Now I\'m gettin\' out my travelin\' shoes
And now that you\'re gone
I\'m gonna be walkin\' on
With this good imitation of the blues
Friends all say you\'re no good without me
And they tell me, that\'s good for you
And they say that I\'m, just doing fine
And this good imitation of the blues
You threatened to leave
One too many times
Now I\'m gettin\' out my travelin\' shoes
And now that you\'re gone
I\'m gonna be walkin\' on
With this good imitation of the blues

Like red on a rose
When your lips first smiled at me
I was captured instantly
To each his own
Like blue in the sky
The gaze of your willing eyes
Touched something deep inside
And the truth be known
That I love you
Like all little children love pennies
And I love you \'cause I know that
I can\'t do anything wrong
You\'re where I belong
Like red on a rose
And I love you like
Like all little children love pennies
And I love you like
Like good times of which
I\'ve known many
And I love you cause
\'Cause I know you give me
A heart of my own
You make my blood flow
Like red on a rose

Nobody said that it would be easy
To take away my walking shoes
\'Cause honey I found I can\'t settle down
At the end of my road there\'s another town
Where the people wanna hear
A man who sings the blues
Nobody said that it would be easy
To stay at home all alone
But honey I found I can\'t settle down
At the end of my road there\'s another town
And I gotta keep moving
I gotta keep rolling on
(Chorus)
Some say I\'m a fool, a crazy fanatic
A deamer, a drifter and more
I guess it\'s true \'cause I get ecstatic
For a new pair of boots and the way out the door
Nobody said that it would be easy
And sometimes you\'ll get confused
But honey I found I can\'t settle down
At the end of my road there\'s another town
Where the people wanna hear
A man who sings the blues
(Chorus)
Nobody said that it would be easy
And sometimes you\'ll get confused
But honey I found I can\'t settle down
At the end of my road there\'s another town
Where the people wan to hear
A man who sings the blues
Yeah honey I found I can\'t settle down
At the end of my road there\'s another town
Where the people want to hear
A man who sings the blues

Girl, you\'re my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop
Just like a river
Keep love flowing
Don\'t let our world stop
Keep it going
(Chorus 1)
I like it just the way you are
Honey, don\'t change who you are
Don\'t change on me
Don\'t you change on me
Girl, you\'re my lucky star
Honey don\'t change who you are
Don\'t change on me, don\'t change on me
I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness
And peace of mind
I was living in darkness
But then you came
Bringing the sunlight
Easing my pain
(Chorus 2)
I love you just the way you are
Honey, don\'t change who you are
Don\'t change on me
Don\'t you change on me
Girl, you\'re my lucky star
Honey, don\'t change who you are
Don\'t change on me, don\'t you change on me
If there\'s a heaven
Then this is my prayer
Lord knows I wanna know you
If we should meet there
And then forever
We\'ll walk together
Nothing but sunshine
No more stormy weather
(Repeat Chorus 2)

I used to run in a young man\'s boots
With a young man\'s heart
And a young man\'s roots
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don\'t run like I used to
This ol\' man don\'t run no more
You used to talk and I used to not
I don\'t listen but I hear a lot
Don\'t believe for a second that my key won\'t fit your door
I don\'t want you like I used to
This ol\' man wants you more
(Chorus)
Hey hidey ho...I used to go where the devil wouldn\'t go
Where the river run still and the water don\'t flow
Heaven couldn\'t stop me then
Hey hidey hi...good Lord willin\' and the creek don\'t rise
Life goes by like the firefly\'s
Where the devil sits with a grin
I used to sing with a young man\'s voice
A young man\'s heart and a young man\'s choice
I hope my song is what you\'re longing for
I don\'t sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more
(Chorus)
This crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar\'s knot
And in the end that\'s what this story shows
I don\'t love you like I used to...
This ol\' man loves you more
I don\'t love ya like a used to...
This ol\' man loves you more

(Chorus)
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you\'re going far away again?
Try to change it
I can\'t take the lonely nights without your love
Doing the road
Get the music done and move along
What good does it do
To play your songs for her and hear her say
(Chorus)
You\'re rolling along
Life\'s been good to you and even so
She comes to you
Late at night\'s the time you hear her say once again
(Chorus x 2)
Try to change it
I can\'t take the lonely nights without your love

The girl\'s wouldn\'t look anything like they do
Can\'t imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I\'d never taking a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I\'d been alone for sure, had it not been you
I wouldn\'t reach for your arms when my dreams don\'t come true
Never sit holding hands on a crowded church pew
I wouldn\'t smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
I\'d get old for sure, had it not been you
You know there are times that I can\'t wait to pick up the phone
When you\'re calling
And the three little voices that always chime in right along
When we\'re talking
Oh I never would see through eyes of truth
And my heart would have overlooked
A view that some just talk of and never find in a lifetime
It\'s hard to describe in just words how I feel when I\'m home
And beside you
But I make it known it\'s just time that I kill when I\'m gone
And without you
I\'m up all through the night if you love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I\'ll know I\'m the only one around
For a lifetime
I\'d never have taken in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I\'d been alone for sure, had it not been you

I have felt it and I have held it
I have known a woman’s love
And I have tasted and I have wasted
A woman’s love
(Chorus)
And I know I’ll never understand
All the little things that make it grand
A woman’s love
And I know I’ll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of A woman’s love
Well I have kissed it, tried to resist it
I have missed a woman’s love
And I have hated, taken for granted
A woman’s love
(Chorus)
Well I have needed and I have pleaded
And I have lost a woman’s love
I have worshiped and I have cursed it
A woman’s love
(Chorus)
And I know I\'ll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
of a women\'s love

Ask me any kind of question, anything you wanna know
Tell you all about my lovers, heartaches and laughter
From a long time ago
Ask me if I\'m finally happy
I\'ve never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I\'ve told all my secrets
I don\'t have anymore
(Chorus)
Ask me now and I won\'t tell a lie
Ask me how I\'ve been feeling inside
When somebody loves you and you know that it\'s true
Don\'t ask why
And ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I\'ll tell you forever if you want me to
(Chorus)
Don\'t ask why

A big moon is rising so bright in the sky
But it won\'t shine brighter
Than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me so bright and so blue
And I won\'t see anyone as lovely as you
(Chorus)
Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you more than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart
So lay down beside me and hold me tonight
For your love has found me and it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind are so scattered and few
But I won\'t see anyone as lovely as you
(Chorus)
In my heart

Well I came from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I\'m goin\' to Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Suzanna don\'t you cry
I got a long way to go
I sure feel it now
Deep down in these dusty clothes
Through another town
Backed up with capricious souls
I got a long way to go
I got a lot left to say
To the empty seat
That stood beside me through the fray
To the midnight moon who saw fit to light my way
I got a lot left to say
(Chorus)
But where do I go from here
When I\'m lost out on the road
And the way\'s not clear
To find my way back home
I need to hear
The only voice that leads me on
So I can find my way back to you
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Suzanna
Comin\' down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Says I\'m comin\' from the south
Suzanna don\'t you cry
(Chorus)
Soon we\'ll be in New Orleans
Then I\'ll look around
And when I find Suzanna
I\'ll fall down on the ground
And if I do not find her
Then I should surely die
And when I\'m dead and buried
Suzanna don\'t you cry

I\'m lost in the night
The icy wind is howlin\' out your name
And desolation lingers like a fog
The fire is growing dimmer in the wind
(Chorus)
I\'m out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
And I can\'t stand to live another day
\'Cause my bluebird went away
And I\'m locked in this room with my sorrow No escape, mo way to get away
And my only connection with tomorrow
Is hoping that you might decide not to stay away
(Chorus 2)
Oh, I\'m out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can\'t find my bluebird anywhere
(Chorus)
I\'m out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
I can\'t stand to live another day
Bluebird why\'d you go away,
Bluebird why\'d you go away
