Out Among the Stars (Single Version) - Merle Haggard

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas Closing time; another day is done When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol He can't find a job, but Lord, he's found a gun He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation Then he lets the old man run out in the street Even though he knows they'll come with guns a-blazin' Already he can feel a great relief Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars? Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? He pictured the arrival of the cruisers Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars? Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? The evening news carried all the details He dies in every living room in town And in his own a bottle is thrown in anger And his father cries, "We'll never live this down!" Oh, how many travelers get weary Bearing both their burdens and their scars Don't you think they'd love to start all over And fly like eagles out among the stars? And fly like eagles out among the stars?

Sugar, ah honey honey You are my candy girl and you got me wantin' you Honey, ah sugar sugar You are my candy girl and you got me wantin' you 1- 2- 3- 4 This happened once before when i came to your door No reply They said it wasn't you, but i saw you peak through your window You know, if you break my heart i'll go But i'll be back again 'Cause i told you once before goodbye But i came back again Asked the girl what she wanted to be She said "baby, can't you see?" "I want to be famous, the star of the screen" But you can do something in between... Baby, you can drive my car Yes, i'm gonna be a star Baby, you can drive my car And baby i love you Listen, do you want to know a secret Do you promise not to tell Wo-ah, closer Let me whisper in your ear Say the words you love to hear "I'm in love with you" woo-oo Try to see it my way Do i have to keep on talkin' till i couldn't go on While you see it your way Run the risk of knowing that our love might soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out I should have known better with a girl like you That i would love everything that you do And i do, hey-hey-hey He's a real nowhere man Sitting in his nowhere land You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes you're gonna lose that girl) You're gonna lo-se that, yeah (Yes, yes you're gonna lose that girl) You're gonna lo-se that girl (Yes, yes you're gonna lose that girl) Ooooo... Ooooo... The "stars on 45" keeps on turning in your mind Like "we can work it out" Remember "twist and shout" "You still don't tell me why" and "No reply" Ooooo... Ooooo...

When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall. The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru He soon became a famous entertainer But LEONARD was a name he never used He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me. But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD But how in the hell was LEONARD s'posed to know. Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road. SPOKEN: (After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a Friend that LEONARD knew.) Well, LEONARD gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along. Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began SPOKEN: (Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy) If just to see the smilin' faces in the band. When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall.

(James Pierpont) Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh --- Instrumental --- Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.

All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse E gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa Ed ingannevole propose al signore: Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Se tu fossi una donna cristiana Riceverei volentieri regali così, Ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna Figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio. Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darà? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Se tu fossi una donna cristiana Riceverei volentieri regali così, Ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna Figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio. Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?
