IT'S RAINING MY TEARS
Give me your coat
I’ll keep you out of the cold
You can hang your hat
on my bed post
I heard you’re living
somewhere on the coast
playing your guitar
You know I loved you the most
Remember that place we felt love
Hidden in cobwebs above
I was dreaming in diamonds
you filled up my nights
You threw pebbles of rain
When I was high in the light
(Chorus)
No amount of rain will wash your memory away
No amount of rain will make you fade
Hereʼs to tears and itʼs starting to pour
You canʼt keep someone
When they walk to the door
It’s raining my tears
It’s raining my tears
You haunt me still
with words you have said
When your boots and your jeans hung by my bed
There’s holes in my heart and raw in my soul
Give me your coat
I’ll keep you out of the cold
Chorus
LIVING IN CRAZY
Yellow wallpaper tornado bound
Living in crazy can’t find the ground
She’s the reason he’s doing me wrong
Just another sinking drinking song
She is strong but I am weak
151 you know I can’t compete
She came and took him
on a bender far away
Left -me feeling like a stranger In LA.
Living in crazy
Living in crazy
Living in crazy
Living in crazy
Fall off the wagon break another wheel
Look at how you make me feel
Look at how you make me feel
Living in crazy living in crazy
Living in crazy living in crazy
He’s in love with another woman
DRAGONFLY
Dragonfly dragonfly
Who taught you how to fly
dragonfly
Dragonfly
Wings that shine
Like windows on a shrine
dragonfly
(Chorus)
Clouds floating by
The wind’s by your side
The sand and and tide are your friends
And when you feel tired
We’ll drift by the fire
Our love will never end
Dragonfly dragonfly
You’re sweetness on a vine
Dragonfly
Dragonfly
Pure design
Like Earth and apple pie
Dragonfly
(Chorus)
DANCING AWAY MY BLUES
Just the other day
I thought of you
and I felt so blue
our love was brand new
Just this very moment I miss you oh so much
I long for your special touch
Do you think of us
Just for old time sake
we’ll go and kiss
then you know what we’ve missed
Let me touch your lips
I’m so darn lonesome I want to go and cry
without you I’d rather die
I wish you were mine
(Chorus)
Heard you had a new love baby
and it makes me sad
Cos the love we had baby
was the best we ever had
Now I’m dancing away my blues in this country saloon
You are the stars and I am the moon
All these handsome cowboys want to dance with me a while
They say they like my style
but they’re not you
All I ever wanted was to be in your life
And now I’m lonesome every day without you
Chorus
HOW LONG DID YOU CRY (When Patsy Died)?
How long did you cry when Patsy died?
I heard her singing about pearl buttons
and white leather fringe
when I crossed your bridge
The red brick building with feed and seed
painted on its wall
with the peeling bucking bronc
reminds me of a cowboy I once loved
made me feel right at home
I couldn’t escape your neon
reflecting herself on my bar glass
you played me honky tonk
Would you have me covered in sequins
and did you right?
How long did you
How long did you
cry when Patsy died
I heard her singing out the windows of the Ryman
I heard her crying out it’s doors
I heard the crowd clapping out loud
just to hear Patsy sing once more
How long did you
How long did you cry when Patsy died
Would you have me covered in sequins
and did you right
How long did you
How long did you
cry when Patsy died
ARMADILLO
Armadillos dancing in the night
Possums are hanging high in the pines
Waitin for my baby to come home at half past five
I’m gonna huggum and kissum
kissum and an a huggum all through the night
He’s gonna squeeze me
Cos he needs me
til the morning light
(Chorus)
Cos the moon is full and the moon is bright
Gonna love my baby til the morning light
Til the steamship whistle blows and wakes the thunder
Alligators swimmin
There’s lots of pretty women in the spring
He better not stop to pick up a pretty young thing
Two strangers kiss in the night
They hide behind the morning light
(Chorus)
Palmetto bug is crawlin on the floor
Mama says Papa don’t do huggums anymore
She’s feeling strong and she’s feeling bright
She dreams about the morning light
(Chorus)
Give me your coat
I’ll keep you out of the cold
You can hang your hat
on my bed post
I heard you’re living
somewhere on the coast
playing your guitar
You know I loved you the most
Remember that place we felt love
Hidden in cobwebs above
I was dreaming in diamonds
you filled up my nights
You threw pebbles of rain
When I was high in the light
(Chorus)
No amount of rain will wash your memory away
No amount of rain will make you fade
Hereʼs to tears and itʼs starting to pour

It’s raining my tears
You haunt me still
