Kenny Rogers - If I Could Only Change Your Mind

If I Could Only Change Your Mind
Kenny Rogers


I've found a great deal of satisfaction
Thinking that you think of me
I've found each day
Bring a new sunshine
There is no tomorrow
For us to borrow
Why can't you find
What you are needing in me
If I could only change your mind

I found no effort at all
In showing what I'm feeling you
I find it hard each day just knowing
There's no tomorrow for us to borrow
why won't you find
What you are needing in me
If I could only change your mind

Kenny Rogers - I Will Always Love You

I Will Always Love You
Kenny Rogers


(Dolly Parton)

If I should stay.....
I would only be in your way
So, I'll go but I know
I'll think of you
Each step of the way....
And I... will always love you....
And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me
So goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
And I... will always love you....
And I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all, I wish you love....
And I... will always love you....
And I will always love you
And I will always love you

Kenny Rogers - I'm Missing You

I'm Missing You
Kenny Rogers


By the time you read this letter
I'll be gone
I'm not the man I was when I left home
By the time you see my face
I will have aged
Much more than the passing of the days

This many miles might as well be the moon
It's a desolate place and I'm missing you
My heart can't believe what my eyes they have seen
God knows what's pulling us through
In a world gone insane, I've whispered your name
I'm missing you

Sometimes in the quiet of the night
I reach for you as if you're by my side
When everything around me seems all gone
The thought of holding you keeps me hangin' on

This many miles might as well be the moon
It's a desolate place and I'm missing you
My heart can't believe what my eyes they have seen
God knows what's pulling us through
In a world gone insane, I've whispered your name
Oh,I'm missing you
In a world gone insane, I whisper your name
I'm missing you

Kenny Rogers - I Prefer The Moonlight

I Prefer The Moonlight
Kenny Rogers


When tempting eyes across the road
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
The baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurrily home
Well the hurrying is easy
Because she's waiting up
With all the love I need

I prefer the moonlight
The one right little lady by my side
That's what I like
I prefer a late drive down the turn park
With the moonlight shining so brightly
Got her by my side
That's what I'd like
I prefer the moonlight

I prefer playing quiet song
She's a mother love her daughter
Moonlight dances on the water
The moon is full and so am I
I look at her and feel like I could cry
But my tears contain no sorrow
Because I know
She'll wake up by my side tomorrow

Morning, noon and night
When the feeling comes so right
Somewhere in some sky
Where the moon is surely shining bright

Kenny Rogers - I Don't Need You

I Don't Need You
Kenny Rogers


I don't need you.
I don't need friendship.
I don't need flowers in the Spring.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't want me.

I don't need love and affection.
I don't peace and harmony.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't need me.

CHORUS:
But we both want it bad enough.
Yes, we both want it. Don't we?
I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

I don't need your loving arms around me.
All I need is to be free.
That's what I keep telling myself.
And I tell you, you don't need me.

I don't need children in my old age.
No more cluttered leaves around the tree.
And I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

Rpt. Chorus

And we don't need each other, baby.
We don't need each other, baby.
Or do we?

Kenny Rogers - I Can't Unlove You

I Can't Unlove You
Kenny Rogers


Postcards and letters
And pictures made to last forever
To be boxed up and tossed away
Knickknacks and souvenirs
In an afternoon, they're out of here
They'll disappear without a trace
But what they mean to me
Can never be replaced

I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things
That used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you

Intestates and old songs
Like time they go on and on
I guess I could learn to do the same
I could wake up without you
These two arms not around you
Tell myself it's meant to be this way
No matter how I try I can't change

I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things
That used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you

I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you

Kenny Rogers - I Can Feel You Drifting

I Can Feel You Drifting
Kenny Rogers


You took me out so far that I can't swim to shore
I've been holdin' on but you're not any more
Our love would always lead us home, constant as the Northern Star
Here's a storm we won't get through 'cause it's not in your heart.

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Out there in the distance, there's something else you need
If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting.

In the silence that's become the company we keep
I realise how far we are from what we used to be
A part of you has gone somewhere that I can't seem to touch
I could stay and take what's left, but, baby, that's not us.

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Out there in the distance, there's something else you need
If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting.

If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting.
I can feel you drifting.
You're out of reach...

Kenny Rogers - I Am The Greatest

I Am The Greatest
Kenny Rogers


little boy in a base ball hat
stands in the field
with his ball and bat
says I am the greatest
player of them all
puts his bat on his sholder
and tosses up his ball

and the ball goes up and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
the world so still you can hear the sound
the baseball falls to the ground

now the little boy doesn't say a word
picks up his ball he is undeterd
says i am the greatest there has ever been
and he grits his teeth
and he trys it again

and the ball goes up and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
the world so still you can hear the sound
and the baseball falls to the ground

he makes no excuses
he shows no fear
he just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

now the little boy
he adjusts his hat
picks up his ball
stares at his bat

says i am the greatest the game is on the line
and he gives his all one last time

and the ball goes up the moon so bright
swings his bat with all his might
the world's so still as still can be
and the baseball falls
and that's strike three

now it's supper time and his mama calls
little boy starts home
with his bat and ball

says i am the greatest that is a fact
but even i didn't know
i could pitch like that

says i am the greatest that is understood
but even i didn't know
i could pitch that good

Kenny Rogers - Homeland

Homeland
Kenny Rogers


There`s a piece of prairie with a white picket gate.
The geographic center of the lower 48.
How long it`s been in our family is anybody`s guess.
We were riding these plains before the pony express.

There`s a sycamore tree all spintered and brown.
Well, it used to touch the sky `til the twister came around.
It`s got this one green branch pointing in the air.
Yeah it`s still hanging on, just like the people around here.

You can hold back the rain, bring on the wind.
Knock us right down, we`ll get up again.
We`ve dug in deep, made our stand.
This is our homeland.

I can feel their spirit deep in my bones.
Up on the hill we carved in in stone.
Been a long line before us, and little ones to come.
Yeah, it`s a family thing that we`re carrying on.

You can hold back the rain, bring on the wind.
Knock us right down, we`ll get up again.
We`ve dug in deep, made our stand.
This is our homeland.

We`ve dug in deep, made our stand.
This is our home...

This is our homeland

Heed The Call
Kenny Rogers


Have you been listening, (Listen to the music)
Have you been sleeping (The sermon's in the music)
(The man standing next to you, he must surely be your brother)

(So brother please) heed the call

(The piper he's still piping)
The magic in the music
(The drummer he's still drumming)

There's still time for singing
Let's not waste our morning
Join in the singing
The outlaw of the midnight
He all too soon comes winging

(So brother please, please) heed the call

(Listen to the music) (Listen to the music) yeah
(Listen to the music) (Listen to the music) oh oh
(Listen to the music) oh oh oh (Listen to the music)

Kenny Rogers - He Will, She Knows

He Will, She Knows
Kenny Rogers


A two room house on an acre lot
It ain't much, but it's all they got
Boy, sometimes it sure seems a lot
To keep up on her own
Pile of bills, a load of clothes
Wipin' tears from a two year old
Makin' sure supper's on before he makes it home

In her mind she hears him say
I'm gonna make it better someday
He will, she knows
He's going to build their dreams a little further down the road
Her faith, it shows
Even if the whole world says he won't
He will

He spends all day underneath the hood
Makin' Chevrolets run like they should
He don't like it much, but the pay is good
And that's enough to make him stay
He's workin' lots of overtime
Cause he's got a little plan in mind
For a hill off Highway 109, that he drives by everyday
Sometimes money's hard to save
But if anyone can find a way

He will, she knows
He's going to build their dreams a little further down the road
Her faith, it shows
Even if the whole world says he won't
He will, she knows

And every night he holds her close and she believes
If anyone can make it more than just a dream

He will, she knows
He's going to build their dream a little further down the road
Her faith, it shows
Oh, it shows
Even if the whole world says he won't
He will, oh he will
He will
Yes, he will
She knows

Kenny Rogers - Harder Cards

Harder Cards
Kenny Rogers


Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer
And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right

She just looked to me as she finished her tale
The blank expression went another pale shade of gray
There was nothing to say

In the shadows of her face I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said

Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well, I put the cuffs on her and sat her in the car
Walked inside, he was layin' on the floor stone dead
Been shot in the head

There were whiskey bottles and dope by the chair
A starving baby with nothing to wear but tears
So the picture was clear

He had finally pushed her way across the line
And the badge I wore was losing all its shine
And she said

Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

I just stood there thinkin' how justice is blind
But after thirty five years you learn to read the signs
So I made up my mind

I took the cuffs of her and I walked her back in
Wiped the gun off and wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should've been

And the morning paper read in black and white
It's just another senseless case of suicide
Suicide

Oh, but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile along my beat
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer
And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight

Kenny Rogers - Handprints On The Wall

Handprints On The Wall
Kenny Rogers


The wait turned into hours,
Before you came my way.
The smile that filled a daddy's heart,
On that special day.
The moment left me speechless,
I didn't know what to say.
Then you took your first breath,
An' that took mine away.

Days go by so quickly;
Summer turns to fall.
Seems like only yesterday,
That you began to crawl.
So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you when you fall.
I don't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall.

I can't describe this feeling,
Way down deep inside
"The Itsy-Bitsy Spider",
Was the first thing that we tried.
An' "Patty Cake, The Baker's Man,"
With your hands, so very small.
You could always stay this young,
And I wouldn't mind at all.

Days go by so quickly;
Summer turns to fall.
Seemed like only yesterday,
That you began to crawl.
So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you when you fall.
An' I don't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall.

So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you if you fall.
An' I won't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall.

Kenny Rogers - Half A Man

Half A Man
Kenny Rogers


I can chop wood from dusk till dawn
I can swing a hammer till the daylight's gone
I can build a barn, I can make a home with these two hands
But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can fly a plane up in the big blue sky
Blaze a trail through the woods in my four-wheel drive
With a team of horses or an old John Deere, I can plough this land
But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon
Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots
I can run a train till it runs out of track
With the weight of the world laid across my back
My life still wouldn't be worth a damn
If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can build a fire with nothin' but a stick
If I put my mind to it, there ain't much I can't fix
I can read an' count, I can figure things out if you give me a chance
But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon
Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots
I can run a train till it runs out of track
With the weight of the world laid across my back
An' my life still wouldn't be worth a damn.
If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

Whoa, I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon
Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots
I can run a train till it runs out of track
With the weight of the world laid across my back.
(Across my back.)
But my life still wouldn't be worth a damn
If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.
Ah ha.
Whoa, yeah.
Mmm, mm, mm...

Kenny Rogers - Gambler

Gambler
Kenny Rogers


On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Kenny Rogers - Every Time Two Fools Collide

Every Time Two Fools Collide
Kenny Rogers

You want things your way
And I want these mine
And now we don't know
Just where you draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep cheers and sights
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I put the balme on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything you do
And how long can we keep right in wrongs
So cut and cry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
But we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

Kenny Rogers - Don't Look In My Eyes

Don't Look In My Eyes
Kenny Rogers


All my memory is safely packed
And my dreams are neatly folded away
I've got nothing to show
To a love that might have told okay
All the tables and chairs
They're standing empty and bare
And there isn't any sign
You were here
So jsut walk out of the door
Try not to get too near

You might look in my eyes
And see all the pain
And sadness deep inside
Don't look in my eyes
That's where I keep the tears I can't hide
If you've just gone, it'll be alright
I know I'll get through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don't look in my eyes

All our photographs are stored away
And our letters are there burned in the fire
There's nothing left here
That make me believer
We had nights of tender love and desire
If this seems to be gray
I'd like to hide away
There's nothing to remind me of you
When you walk out of the door
Just be sure whatever you do

Don't look in my eyes
And see all the pains
And sadness deep inside
Don't look in my eyes
That's where I keep the tears I can't hide
If you've just gone, it'll be alright
I know I'll make it through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don't look in my eyes

Kenny Rogers - Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer

Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer
Kenny Rogers

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times
I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door
And wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy
To tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll break you every time

So put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Now it's morning
and the phone rings and ya say
You gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave
Before you change your mind
And you know
What I was thinking I'd turn around
If you'd just ask me one more time
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll break you every time
so put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Kenny Rogers - Daytime Friends

Daytime Friends
Kenny Rogers


And he'll tell her - He's working late again
But she knows to well there's something goin' on.
She's been neglected - and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone.

And Lord, it hurts her - doin' this again
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew.
When she's lonely - he's more than just a friend
He's the one she loans her body to.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers -
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go - What they do -
In their secret hideaway

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers -
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love - In the nighttime -
And shake hands in the light of day.

And when it's over - there's no peace of mind
Just a longin' for the way things should have been.
And she wonders - Why some men never find
That a woman needs a lover and a friend.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers ...

Kenny Rogers - Crazy

Crazy
Kenny Rogers


Girl, there are no words to say
What I feel in my heart
You, you're on my mind night and day
And it hurts me when we're apart
When you're not here by my side
There is nothing in this world for me
I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see
And although you may think it's crazy
Here is where I want to be
I will always need your love
Now, I can see every dream
When I look in your eyes
And though things never are what they seem
There is one thing that I realize
That there's no doubt in my mind
We can make this love go on forever
I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see
And although you may think I'm crazy
Here is where I'll always be
And I need you with me 'cause you are the dream
That finally came true for me
And all my life there'll be no one else
If I looked all my life there could be no one else
And for the rest of my life all I need is you

Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County

Coward Of The County
Kenny Rogers


Everyone considered him
The coward of the county
It never stool one single time
To prove the county's
His mama named him Tommy
The folks just called him Yellow
Something always told me
They were reading Tommy's wrong
He was only ten years old
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy
Because he's my brother's son
I still recalled the final words
My brother said to Tommy,
"Son, my life was over,
But yours just begun.
Promised me son,
Not to do the things I've done,
Walked away form troubles if you can
It won't mean your weak
If you turned the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
There's someone for everyone."

And Tommy's love was working
The gambling boys came calling
They took turns of Veckie
And there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door
Saw his Veckie crying
The torn dress, the shattered look
Is more than he could stand
He reached above the fire place
And took down his daddy's face
He heard these words again
Promised me son
Not to do the things I've done,
Walked away form troubles if you can
It won't mean your weak
If you turned the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
The gambling boys just laughed at him
When he walked into the barroom
One of them got up
And meet him halfway cross the floor
When Tommy turn around
They said,
Hey look old Yellow's leaving
But you could have heard a pin drop
When Tommy stop and lock the door
The bottle up inside him
He let them have it all
He wouldn't hold nothing back
He let them have it all
When Tommy left the barroom
Not a gambling boy was standing
He said this one's for Veckie
As he watched the last one fall
I heard him say
I promised you dad
Not to do the things you've done,
I walked away form troubles when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak
I didn't turn the other cheek
And papa I surely hope you understand
Sometimes you got to fight when you're a man
Everyone considered him
The coward of the county

Kenny Rogers - Coat of Many Colors

Coat of Many Colors
Kenny Rogers


Back through the years
I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall the box of rags
Someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was away down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together
So in every piece with luck
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors Joseph wore
And then she said,
Perhaps this coat
Will bring you good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And my mama blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors
That my mama made for me
Made only from rags
That I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
Well, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My mama made for me
And no, I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them all the story
Mama told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
"But one is only poor
Only if he chooses to be."
Now I know we had no money
In my coat of many colors
My mama made for me
Made just for me

Kenny Rogers - Buy Me A Rose

Buy Me A Rose
Kenny Rogers

He works hard to give her all He thinks she needs
Three car garage
Her own credit card
He pulls in late to wake her up
with a kiss goodnight
If he could only read her mind
She'd say:
Buy me a rose
Call me from work
Open a door for me,
What would it hurt?
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things
I need the most in my life

Now the days have gone
Two years of feeling all alone
She can't help but wonder what
she's doing wrong
Lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:

Buy me a rose
Call me from work
Open a door for me,
What would it hurt?
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things
I need the most in my life

And the more that he lives,
The less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives,
The more that he sees
This is a story of you and me

So I bought you a rose
On the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
For the rest of your life

And I'm gonna hold you tonight
And do all those little things for the rest of your life

Kenny Rogers - But You Know I Love You

But You Know I Love You
Kenny Rogers


When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I've waken up
From another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All I've left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams

REFRAIN

But you know I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you

How I wish that love
What a life we'd live
Cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong
Deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keeping us apart

REFRAIN

And if I could only find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds
All the answers were found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you
And you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Just to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
But you know I made my choice
Many years ago
Now this traveling life
Is the only one I know

REFRAIN (four times)

REFRAIN (three times while fading)

Kenny Rogers - A Soldier's King

A Soldier's King
Kenny Rogers

None seemed to notice
The man beside the road
He was just a raged soldier
Out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose
Only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night
Through the town of Bethlahem

In his head he held a memory
Of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal
For the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle
He caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching
For a manger in the dark

(Chorus:)
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten
Like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight

He had marched for politicians
Served under their command
And he faught for all the causes
That he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now
That led him on his way
With a single star to guid him
To were the baby lay

(Chorus)

He stood befor the Son of God
Come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier
That the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal
And said this for you I bring
There he swor alegance
To the newborn baby king

(Chorus)

Kenny Rogers - 727 East Magnolia Avenue

727 East Magnolia Avenue
Kenny Rogers

You won’t believe where I was today
Something made my car go a different way
Before I knew it
I was back in time at our old address
Sitting in the drive
And I could see you in my football jersey raking leaves
I could see me hanging lights on our first Christmas tree
I could see us nail those numbers on the door that afternoon
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue
They added on where we thought we would
You always said it would sure look good
They cut down that tree we were afraid would fall
Looks like they picked up right where we left off
I could see you out there on the deck soaking up the sun
I could see me chasing you around with a water gun
I could see us there together
Seemed the sky was always blue
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue
If I could make one wish
Oh, I’d relive my life with you
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue

Kenny Rogers - Someone Somewhere Tonight

Someone Somewhere Tonight
Kenny Rogers

Someone somewhere tonight
Is taking their first steps
Letting go of the hands that held them
And trusting themselves
An' somewhere somewhere tonight
Is hearing their last rites
And prayin' with all their might
That there's something else.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
Let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will.

Someone somewhere tonight
Is tasting their first kiss
Whisp'ring softly this wish
For this night to go on
While someone somewhere
Is holdin' on to a bottle
Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will
Get them through till the dawn.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
An' let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will, (yeah.)

[Instrumental]

Someone somewhere tonight
Is stuck in a prison
Breathin' but just barely livin'
Behind walls of their own
Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight
Just found their own wings
An' found some beauty, an' found some meaning
(They found some truth.)
Found some truth in spite of it all.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
An' let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will.

And you always will...

Kenny Rogers - This Woman

This Woman
Kenny Rogers

Well she walks like you in so many ways
It's a different look
It's a different time of day
One look in her eyes
How can I make you understand
She's the one good thing that's happened in so many years
There's been so many tears
When we lost the dream
And the winter came
And you said goodbye
And I don't want another reason to cry

You be all you wanna be
You got the longest night
Baby, be alone
I share my dream with someone else
I don't wanna talk about her

This woman - she's tearing my world apart
This woman - don't know what she's doing
This woman - touchs me and I lose control
She's living inside my soul
This woman - I don't even know her name
This woman - don't know what she's doing
This woman goes through me like a hurricane
Falling in love again

To make those long legs mine - is all I care about
She's got so much to give - I got to be the one
I got to have
Someone to hold
I got to make it with that woman
When the nights get hot
And she goes walking by
And the city lights - and the city lights
They make you blind
I go insane
But am I crazy if she feels the same
You believe what you believe
You got the darkest night
Baby , be alone
I take my love to someone else
She was made to measure for me

You be all you wanna be
You got the longest night
Baby , be alone
I share my dream with someone else
I don't wanna talk about her

This woman - she's tearing my world apart
This woman - don't know what she's doing
This woman - touchs me and I lose control
She's living inside my soul
This woman - I don't even know her name
This woman - don't know what she's doing
This woman goes through me like a hurricane
Falling in love again

Kenny Rogers - You And I

You And I
Kenny Rogers


All the man I am
You are the reason for me, you help me understand
I’ll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl, you’ve always got a friend in me

All the love we had
I should’ve known our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a special word
I made you die inside but you loved me

And don’t believe the world
No, the world can’t give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Til I just could not see the light

As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I

I won’t let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
I’ll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you....

So don’t believe the world
No the world can’t give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night

As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I

So don’t believe the world
No the world can’t give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night

As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I

Kenny Rogers - Desperado

Desperado
Kenny Rogers


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
You've been out ridin fences for so long now,
Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons,
The things that are pleasin you can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones you can't get.

Desperado, you ain't gettin no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home,
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime,
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
And you're losin all your highs and lows,
Ain't it funny how the feelin goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
Come down from your fences- open the gates.
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU.
You'd better let somebody love you,
before it's too late.

Kenny Rogers - Blaze Of Glory

Blaze Of Glory
Kenny Rogers

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let’s go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
Fallin' out like we fell in

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let’s go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Let's gonna hurt each other
That would be a worse mistake
Once again let’s act like lovers
One more time for old-time's sake

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
let’s go out like we came in
in a blaze of glory

let's go out (let’s go out)
in a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)
all good things must end
like two heros (ah…) in a story (in a story….)
let’s go out (let’s go out) like we came in (like we came in)
in a blaze of glory…

Kenny Rogers - Calling Me

Calling Me (featuring Don Henley)
Kenny Rogers

There's a back road leadin' off the hard-top
Half-a-mile past the slingshot tree
Wanders round through a million mem'ries
It's callin' me, callin' me.

There's a white house with fading shutters
The old front door that never needed a key
An' I hear my Momma in the hush of the evenin'
Callin' me, yeah, she's callin' me.

An' no matter where I'm goin'
It reminds me of where I'm from
Just as long as I can hear it
I know I'm not too far gone.

There's a first kiss under the willow
Love so honest, it was hard to believe
An' even when my heart is breakin'
It's callin' me, callin' me.

Yes, it's callin' me
(Ooh, yeah, yeah.)
Callin' me, callin' me.

An' no matter where I'm goin'
It reminds me of where I'm from
Just as long as I can hear it
I know I'm not too far gone.

There's a tiny country chapel
Filled with voices singin' harmony
An' when my soul is lost in the silence
Oh, it's callin'; yes, it's callin' me.

Yes it's callin' me.
(Callin' me.)
Callin'
Oh, it's callin'
Yes, it's callin' me...

(Alex North/Hy Zaret)

Oh my love
My darling
I hunger for your touch
Alone, lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh my love, my darling
I hunger, for your touch
Alone, lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
Oh, oh I need your love
God speed your love to me

Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small

And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry
Ohhhh
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

Britney Spears - Satisfaction

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Britney Spears

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no satisfaction


When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey hey, this is what I say


I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girly reaction
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction


When I'm watchin' my TV
And that girl comes on and tells me
How tight my skirts should be
But she couldn't tell me who to be, baby
I've got my own identity
I can't get no, oh no no no

I can't get no satisfaction (4x)
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try

I just can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction (9x)
I can't get no

I can't get no satisfaction baby
