Dan Seals – You Still Move Me

June 30th, 2007

You Still Move Me
(Dan Seals)
I’ve often wondered what would I do
If I found you alone like this
Would I remember
What I’ve got at home
Or forget it all with your kiss
‘Cause when you left me
I was hurtin’ so
She picked me up off the ground
And I do love her, I want you to know
That I never want to let her down

Chorus
But you still move me
Though I’d never let her know
There’s a place inside of me that just won’t let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
‘Cause you still move me

I guess I’d better leave now
Before it’s too late

Before these feelings go too far
But I had to see you
Just one more time
‘Cause it’s been tearing me apart
‘Cause you still move me
And I wonder how much longer can this go on
The feelin’ wrong, I know it’s wrong
And I don’t know which way to turn
Here with you, or home with her

Chorus
But you still move me
Though I’d never let her know
There’s a place inside of me that just won’t let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
‘Cause you still move me
‘Cause you move me, God you move me

Hal Ketchum – A Weißes Blatt’l Papier

June 30th, 2007

A weißes Blatt’l Papier liegt scho seit Stunden vor mir

I wollt dir schreib’n.

I woaß net wie fang’ i’s o

Wie sehr I di leiden ko

Laßt si gar net beschreib’n.

I hab für di die tollsten Sprüch durchprobiert

Doch bei mir

Da haut des einfach net hi.

Was du für mi bist

Was I für di spür’

Des laßt si net schreib’n auf a Stückerl Papier.

I hab mi in di verknallt

Du

I bin ganz schee im Weald und merk

Daß I nimmer ‘raus find.

Ois is zuwenig für di

Denn des

Was du bist für mi

Kriag I mit Wort’n net hi.

Des leere Blatt’l Papier

Des liegt noch immer vor mir

I schreib’ besser gar nix.

Denn des

Was I für di spür’

Paßt auf koa Blatt’l Papier

Vergiß es

Es war nix.

I hab für di die tollsten Sprüch durchprobiert

I hab mi in di verknallt

I hab für di die tollsten Sprüch durchprobiert

I hab mi in di verknallt

I hab mi in di verknallt

Hal Ketchum – Ghost Town

June 30th, 2007

Can’t see the burned out night light
Her spirit calls from long ago, long ago
Something doesn’t ring right
Must be my telephone

Breakin’ in another morning
Shadows cold across the floor, across the floor
I miss you sweet magnolia
I miss your love and nothing more

It’s like a Ghost Town when she’s gone
City lights can’t spark a flame
I’m not quite sure where I belong
Old love songs sure don’t sound the same
I can’t sleep, so I can’t dream
Tumbleweed keeps rollin’ on
Like a Ghost Town when she’s gone

Stacked up papers
Empty bottle full of blues, full of blues
Oh, ain’t nothing sacred
Nothing but the sight of you

Long gone feelings
Travel well down dusty roads, dusty roads
Give me one good reason
To think she’s ever coming home

It’s like a Ghost Town when she’s gone
City lights can’t spark a flame
I’m not quite sure where I belong
Old love songs sure don’t sound the same
I can’t sleep, so I can’t dream
Tumbleweed keeps rollin’ on
Like a Ghost Town when she’s gone

Livin’ in a Ghost Town
Livin’ in a Ghost Town

Hal Ketchum – Hearts Are Gonna Roll

June 30th, 2007

Ever since she was a baby
Settin’ on her daddy’s knee
Had him wrapped around her finger
Doing anything she pleased

She had a way of getting what she wanted
But Daddy knew in his mind
The pretty soon the boys would come runnin’
It’s just a matter of time before

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Now she changes like the weather
Never stays in love too long
She’ll take you to the limit
Just to leave you hangin’ on

Drop dead looks and a mind for trouble
That’s all the girl’s ever known
Leavin’ behind a path of destruction
No matter where she goes

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn

Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Don’t fall under the spell of her eyes, boy
She’s not looking at you
Take it from somebody who knows
She’s movin’ right one through

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Ever since she was a baby
Settin’ on her daddy’s knee
Had him wrapped around her finger
Doing anything she pleased, he knew

Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Watch ‘em roll now

Hal Ketchum – I Miss My Mary

June 30th, 2007

A threadbare alibi…..a lifetime full of promise
Fell from my Mary’s eyes as she saw the screen door swing
The baby never woke……he lay cradled in her trembling
He lay safe and never knowing what my leavin would bring

I draw my pay down on the docks…..I send it off to Mary
I might hold back a dollar to wash this pain out of my back
But the pain keeps getting clearer and Mary your face just keeps on fading
Now the light shines through this bottle….memories all fade to black

(Chorus)
Well I’ll see you out on the street tonight
I’m a lover of a drink, a lover of a fight
Hold my own on the dark side of this town
Yes, I’m tough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will never fear, for I will never feel
And one more round would surely set me right

I miss my Mary tonight

They call me the old man in this bar, sleeves rolled up and showin
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been
One says “US Navy” and this one says “Darling Mary”
Now my Mary’s turned to ashes and the ocean’s turned to gin

(Repeat Chorus)

And one more round would surely set me right
I miss my Mary tonight

Hal Ketchum – Mama Knows The Highway

June 30th, 2007

Mama knows the highway by the songs
When she hears a good one, she always sings along
She don’t ever worry ’bout what’s gone
She says, “good country music will never steer you wrong

She talks to the truckers with her lights
Maybe just a little bit more on Saturday nights
She knows a good road to paradise
And that’s just enough to keep the highway bright

Yeah,Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can tell Wyoming by the wind
She can tell another trucker by the rig that he’s in
She knows how to watch the river bends
She knows where the real South begins

Well, Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can gauge a cafe just by looking at the sign
Little old places always share the grand design

Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart
Mama knows the highway now by heart
Mama knows the highway, yeah, yeah yeah

Hal Ketchum – Old Dan’s Records

June 30th, 2007

Get out old Dan’s records. Get out old Dan’s records.

We will dance the whole night long, it’s fun to play the old time songs.

If old Dan could see us now, I know he’d be so proud.

Bring out old Dan’s records. Bring out old Dan’s records.

I remember my Aunt Bea, she’d dance with Dan till two or three.

If old Dan could see he now, I know he’d shout out loud.

Dig out old Dan’s records. Bring out old Dan’s records.

We’re all here, we’ve all got dates, we’ll dance all night to the seventy-eights.

If old Dan could see us now, I know he’d be so proud.

If old Dan were with us still, I know he’d come around.

Get out old Dan’s records. Dig out old Dan’s records.

Back to nineteen thirty-five, the foxtrot, jitterbug and jive.

If old Dan could see us now, I know he’d be so proud.

Get out old Dan’s records. Bring out old Dan’s records.

High above the fireplace, there’s a smile on old Dan’s face.

If old Dan could see us now, I know he’d be so proud.

If old Dan were with us still, I know he’d come around.

Hal Ketchum – Past The Point Of Rescue

June 30th, 2007

Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how
Couldn’t get enough of kissing, do you know how much you’re missing
No you don’t, but I do

The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can’t get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions are amusing, do you know how much you’re losing
No you don’t, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don’t, but I do

I swore I’d never fall like this again
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again

Can’t close the door on likely hood
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
No you don’t, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don’t, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don’t, but I do
I know you don’t, but I do
I know you don’t, but I do

Hal Ketchum – Small Town Saturday Night

June 30th, 2007

There’s an Elvis movie on the marquee sign
We’ve all seen at least three times
Everybody’s broke, Bobby’s got a buck
Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck
We’re going’ ninety miles an hour down a dead end road
What’s the hurry, son… where you gonna go?
We’re gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light
It’s a small town Saturday night
It’s a small town Saturday night

Lucy’s got her lipstick on a little too bright
Bobby’s gettin’ drunk and lookin’ for a fight
Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind
And Lucy’s just a kid along for the ride
Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine
Gotta be bad just to have a good time
They’re gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light
It’s a small town Saturday night
It’s a small town Saturday night

Bobby told Lucy, “The world ain’t round…
Drops off sharp at the edge of town
Lucy, you know the world must be flat
‘Cause when people leave town, they never come back”
They go ninety miles an hour to the city limits sign
Put the pedal to the metal ‘fore they change their mind
They howl at the moon, shoot out the light
It’s a small town Saturday night

They howl at the moon, shoot out the light
Yeah, it’s a small town Saturday night
It’s a small town Saturday night
It’s a small town Saturday night

Hal Ketchum – Softer Than A Whisper

June 30th, 2007

I’ve often wondered how love would strike me yet
Would it hit me like thunder, that’s what I’d expect
But when I held you, I knew it was different from the start
No words were spoken, but I felt it in my heart

It was softer than a whisper
Quiet as the moon
But I could hear it loud as laughter
Across a crowded room
It was gentle as a baby’s hand
But it held me like a chain
It was softer than a whisper
When love called out my name

Last night you lay sleepin’ when I thought I heard a sound
I got up and slowly, took a look around
Well I found no answer– No sound I could explain
It must have been your heart, dear, callin’ out my name

It was softer than a whisper
Quiet as the moon
But I could hear it loud as laughter
Across a crowded room
It was gentle as a baby’s hand
But it held me like a chain
It was softer than a whisper
When love called out my name

Yes, it was softer than a whisper
When love called out my name
