Comb your hair and paint and powder You act proud and I'll act prouder You sing loud and I'll sing louder Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire You're my gal and i'm your feller Dress up in your frock of "yeller" I'll look swell but you'll look sweller Settin' the woods on fire We'll take in all the honky tonks Tonight we're havin' fun We'll show the folks a brand new dance That never has been done I don't care who thinks we're silly You be daffy and I'll be dilly We'll order up two bowls of chili Settin' the woods on fire I'll gas up my hot rod stoker We'll get hotter than a poker You'll be broke but I'll be broker Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire We'll sit close to one another Up one street and down the other We'll have us a time oh brother Settin' the woods on fire We'll put aside a little time To fix a flat or two My tires and tubes are doin' fine But the air is showin' through You clap hands and I'll start bowin' We'll do all the law's allowin' Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin' Settin' the woods on fire

Clear your head and lift your feet Don't think about the times you fell Watch for cars and just stay above the wheels Remember where it is you came from And don't lose sight of where you want to go And pedal like the Devil is nipping at your heels Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you I woke up loving you again, made coffee in your favorite cup And then I washed all of your snap-shirts and your jeans It's funny I can feel your love so strong from out there on the road And you can feel mine while you're running down your dreams Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you No matter where you go, no matter how long you stay No matter how far ahead, I'll be behind you I wish we had lived forever, oh how I wish it wasn't so That we wear out our bodies just like shoes I'll meet you in the morning time no matter if it's years for me And I'll see you where both of our soles are new Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you Run on ahead, run on ahead Run on ahead I'll be right behind you

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost For a life of sin, I have paid the cost When I pass by, all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine Oh the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I take a cost, on the lost highway Now boys don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin, are you sorrow-bound? Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway

I have the invitation that you sent me You wanted me to see you change your name I couldn't stand to see you wed another But dear I hope you're happy just the same Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel That should be ringing out for you and me Down the aisle with someone else you're walking Those wedding bell will never ring for me I planned a little cottage in the valley I even bought a little band of gold I thought some day I'd place it on your finger But now the future looks so dark and cold Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel I hear the children laughing out with glee At home alone I hang my head in sorrow Those wedding bells will never ring for me I fancy that I see a bunch of roses A blossom from an orange tree in your hair And while the organ plays I love you truly Please let me pretend that I am there Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel Ever since the day you set me free I knew someday that you would wed another But wedding bells will never ring for me

I could say it's over now That I was glad to see you go I could hate you for the way I'm feelin' My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know It's a sin to make me cry When you know I love you so I could tell my heart that I don't miss you My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know I could give you all the blame But I'm sure the truth would show I could tell this world I've found a new love My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know I can't fool my cryin' heart 'Cause it knows I need you so I could tell my heart I'm glad we parted My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

Once I was happy as I could be But I let a girl make a fool of me And ever since she let me down The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down As long as the sun is in the sky These doggone blues never make me cry But ever since she left this town The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down I built my castles very high And then she went and said goodbye And ever since she tore 'em down The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down Once she called me all her own But now she's gone and I'm alone And every evenin', I'm sorrow bound 'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Yeah, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down
