Well, you said you had enough, you said that you were leaving
I said, "Shove off, honey. Baby, I ain't grieving.
E
Pack your bags and pull out this evening.
There's a wide open road."
On Saturday morning, you were nowhere about
And so I searched the town but you had done pulled out
I looked north, east, and west and then a-leading south
I saw a wide open road
[Chorus]
There's a wide open road
It's leading south from my abode
If you stick around, then turn your damper down
Or there's a wide open road

[Verse 2]
Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat is still around
And you left your wedding ring when you went down
That wide open road
If you're gonna stay away, then honey, let me know
How to cook hot biscuits out of a roll of dough
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down the wide open road
[Chorus]
There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can turn back home
And there's a wide open road

[Intro]
A E7 A
[Verse 1]
Well, the Bible tells us about a man
A
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
A
Around the city, he built a wall
And declared that Babylon would never fall
A
He had concubines and wives
He called his Babylon "paradise"
A
On his throne, he drank and ate
But for Belshazzar, it was getting late
[Chorus]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His houses were built upon the sand
A E7 A
[Verse 2]
Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
A
All holy things, they scorned and mocked
But suddenly, all their mocking stopped
For on the wall, there appeared a hand
A
Nothing else, there was no man
In blood, the hand began to write
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
[Chorus]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His houses were built upon the sand
A E7 A
[Verse 3]
Well, no one around could understand
A
What was written by the mystic hand
A
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
A man who could give him peace of mind
But Daniel the prophet, a man of God
A
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
A
Belshazzar asked him what it said
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
[Chorus]
"My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your houses are built upon the sand"
A E7 A

Now, this here's a story about the Rock Island Line

Well, the Rock Island Line, she runs down into New Orleans
E
There's a big tollgate down there and you know
E
If you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate
E
Well, you don't have to pay the man no toll
E
Well, a train driver, he pulled up to the tollgate
E
And a man hollered and asked him what all he had on board and he said
[Chorus]
E
"I got livestock, I got livestock
E
I got cows, I got pigs, I got sheep, I got mules
E
I got all livestock"
[Verse 2]
E
Well, he said, "You're alright, boy. You don't have to pay no toll.
E
You can just go right on through." So he went on through the tollgate
E
And as he went through, he started picking up a little bit of speed
E
Picking up a little bit of steam
E
He got on through, he turned and looked back at the man, he said
[Chorus]
E
"Well, I fooled you, I fooled you
E
I got pig iron, I got pig iron, I got all pig iron"
[Chorus]
Down the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road,
Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
E
Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
[Verse 3]
Looked cloudy in the west and it looked like rain
B7
Round the curve came a passenger train
B7
Northbound train on a southbound track
He's alright a-leaving but he won't be back
[Chorus]
Well, the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road,
Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
E
Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
[Verse 4]
Oh, I may be right and I may be wrong
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, the engineer said before he died
There were two more drinks that he'd like to try
The conductor said what could they be
A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea
[Chorus]
Well, the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road,
Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
E
Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A
I was riding Number Nine
Heading south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[Chorus]
Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[Interlude]
A E A
[Verse 2]
All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When that evening train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[Chorus]
I'll be locked here in this cell
'til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

[Intro]
A B7 E
[Verse 1]
If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays down
I'll be in your arms time the moon comes around
For a taste of love that's shining in your eyes
If the rooster crows at the cracking of the dawn
I'll be there just as sure as you're born
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
[Chorus 1]
I'll comb my hair down, brush my teeth
E
Shine up, slick up, dress up neat
Get everything a-looking just right
'cause I wanna look pretty when I see you tonight

I'll be there, you can bet your bottom dollar
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise

I'll be there a-looking my best
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
[Chorus 2]
I'll feed the mules and slop the hogs
E
Feed the cows and chop all the logs
Get all of my workin' done
'cause tonight we're gonna have lots of fun

Just as sure as there ever was a preacher man
I'll be there with a ring for your hand
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise

N.C. A E
Country boy, ain't got no shoes
Country boy, ain't got no blues
Well, you work all day while you're wanting to play
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
But at the end of the day, when your work is done
You ain't got nothin' but fun
[Verse 2]
Country boy, ain't got no ills
Country boy, don't owe no bills
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
And if everything's gonna turn out right
You're gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy, got work to do

There's many a row, you know you gotta hoe
But when it's quitting time, and your work is through
There's a lot of life in you
[Verse 4]
Country boy, you got a shaggy dog
Country boy, up a holler log
Well, he comes in a run when you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
B7 E
He's gonna be good fried
[Chorus 2]
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

His whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly, I got that old-time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do? (What can I do?)
You win again
[Bridge]
G D7 G
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry for your victim now
'cause soon his head, like mine, will bow
He'll give his heart, but all in vain
And someday say... "You win again"
[Chorus]
You have no heart, you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still (I love you still)
You win again (again)

21.) "Always Alone"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
Always alone, alone and blue
I've got no one to tell my troubles to
No one to care, to call my own
It seems that I must always be alone
[Verse 2]
The day you left, you broke my heart
I need you so but we're so far apart
You didn't care, I should have known
That you would go and leave me all alone
[Interlude]
A D
E7 A
[Verse 3]
There is no one to take your place
Each night, in dreams, I see your smiling face
Then I awake and find you gone
I know that I must always be alone

22.) "I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
Everybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you
[Chorus]
Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together we can find a brighter way
In my heart, I know that you'll come through
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you
[Interlude]
E7 A
[Verse 2]
All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you
[Chorus]
Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you prove to be untrue
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you

Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Interlude]

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Interlude]

Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright

I'll see you in my dreams

24.) "New Mexico"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
[Verse 1]
N.C. A E7 A
It was in the town of Griffin, the year was '83
It was there an old cowpuncher stepped up and said to me
"How do you do, young fellow and how would you like to go
And spend a pleasant summer out in New Mexico?"
[Verse 2]
"I'll furnish you good wages, your transportation too
If you will but go with me one summer season through
But if you should get homesick and back to Griffin go
Then I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico"
[Verse 3]
We left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May
When all the world was lovely and everything was gay
With saddles on our horses, marching onward, we did go
Until we reached Old Boggy out in New Mexico
[Verse 4]
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles, they began
The first hailstorm fell on us, those cattle, how they ran
Through all the thorns and thistles, us cowboys had to go
While the Indians watched upon us out in New Mexico
[Verse 5]
Well, when the drive was over, the riders would not pay
To all you happy people, this much I have to say
Go back to your friends and loved ones, tell others not to go
To the godforsaken country they call New Mexico

25.) "Two Timin' Woman"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
[Intro]
G7 C
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning in a terrible mood
Now, you talk about a woman treating a good man rude
She had me talking to myself, gazing at that mean ol' wall
She had another daddy waiting down at the end of the hall
[Verse 2]
She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall
She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall
A two-timing woman with a heart of solid stone
She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little under-grown
[Interlude]
C
F C
G7 C
[Verse 3]
Well, she drifts around the country like a steamboat on a foam
She said she'd never leave me but she got the urge to roam
She never changes course, she just goes along that same ol' way
Well, I hope she keeps a-drifting, rolls along back home someday
[Verse 4]
'cause if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor
And tell her, "Now, sit there, woman. You ain't leaving no more.
I'm gonna tame you, Mama, 'til you're eating from my hand.
It ain't that I don't love you, honey. It's just to make you understand."

28.) "Cold Cold Heart"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
I tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
[Verse 2]
A E7
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is praying now for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
[Interlude]
E7 A
[Verse 3]
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life? To try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
[Verse 4]
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

In the fool's hall of fame
[Chorus]

N.C. E
Well, you come home a-feeling for the knob on the door
You better pick up your feet, you're gonna fall on the floor
I keep on a-telling you, I'll tell you some more
You better leave that junk alone and drink water

Lord, that liquor's hot, drink water

You better lay down the bottle and put on the top and drink

[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
Well, I took my Ruby juking on the outskirts of town
She took her high heels off and and let her stockings down
She put a quarter in the jukebox to get a little beat
Everybody started watching on the rhythm of her feet
[Chorus]

She's my Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)

Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
When Ruby starts a-rocking, it satisfies my soul

She rocked on the tables and she rocked on the floor
With everybody yelling, "Ruby, rock some more"
[Chorus]
She's my Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
E
Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
When Ruby starts a-rocking, it satisfies my soul
[Verse 3]
It was 'round about four and I thought she would stop
She looked at me and then she looked at the clock
She said, "Wait a minute, daddy. Now, don't you get sore
E N.C. E
All I wanna do is rock a little bit more"
[Chorus]
She's my Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
E
Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
When Ruby starts a-rocking, it satisfies my soul
[Verse 4]
One night, my Ruby left me all alone
I tried to contact her on the telephone
I finally found her 'bout a-twelve o'clock
She said, "Leave me alone, daddy, 'cause your Ruby wants to rock"
[Chorus]

Well, she's my Rock 'n' Roll Ruby (rock 'n' roll)
