1. _ Wild Ride
(dwight yoakam)
I walked in
There sat slim
Cleaning up his memory
With some sapphire gin
Mr. paine grabbed my arm
Pulled me aside
And said, kid are you ready for the wild ride
I looked up
There she stood
I said, if you didn't look so great
I'd say you look good
Ah, she took her hand
Ran it up my thigh
And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
Layin' on the highway
I saw my mind
In tiny little pieces
Thrown from side to side
My heart was shattered
Along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
I was crawlin' 'cross the floor
I was tryin' to leave
When i felt something tuggin' what was
Left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a
Gold-plated vibe
Say, i bought a ticket for the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride
Come on, come
Take me on a wild ride
See can you make me on the wild ride
Come on and shake me on the wild ride
You might just break me on the wild ride

2. _ This Time
(dwight yoakam)
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
I tell myself each morning
That we're through
But every night i see
That it's not true
I run out
And track her down
Just so i can hang around
And cry
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
Come on heart let's make believe we're fine
We'll both agree the pain's just in our mind
I'll close my eyes and try not to hear
The things i'll say when she appears
To haunt me
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

4. _ Lonesome Roads
(dwight yoakam)
Where did i go wrong
You know i've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
'cause bad's the best that i can do
Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb that's gone astray
Lonesome roads are the only kind i ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place i ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend i ever made
Lonesome roads, the only kind i ever travel
Empty rooms, the only place i ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me's the only friend i ever made
Poor ol' worthless me's the only friend i ever made

5. _ Fast As You
(dwight yoakam)
Maybe someday i'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough
You'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long and
Maybe i'll be real strong
Maybe i'll do things right
Maybe i'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me
Baby let's just wait and see
Maybe i'll start tonight
And do things right
You'll control me
Oh so boldly
Rule me 'til i'm free
'til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe i'll be fast as you
Maybe i'll break hearts too
But, i think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe i'll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Uhhh
You'll control me
Oh so boldly
Rule me 'til i'm free
'til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Ahh, sookie
Maybe i'll be fast as you
Maybe i'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe i'll break hearts
And be as fast as you

6. _ Long White Cadillac
(dave alvin)
Night wolves moan
Winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac
Chorus:
Sometimes i blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes i blame it on the money
Sometimes i blame it all on me
Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
I ain't never coming back
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
Bye, bye, baby, i'm gonna take this white trash on down the road

7. _ Suspicious Minds
(m. james)
Caught in a trap
Can't get out
Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word i say
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
We cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Well, there's an old friend i know
Stopped by to say hello
Well, i still see suspicious in your eyes
Here you go again
Asking where i've been
Can't you see these tears are real i'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
We cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh, let our love survive
I'll dry these tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Baby, you know, i'd never lie to you
No, never lie to you
Yeah, yeah
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word i'm saying
Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby
Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby
We're caught in a trap
We can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

8. _ Miner's Prayer
(d. yoakam)
Miner's prayer is dedicated to the memory of luther tibbs.
A kentucky coal miner for 40 years, and my grandpa.
When the whistle blows each morning
And i walk down in that cold, dark mine
I say a prayer to my dear savior
Please let me see the sunshine one more time
Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
I still grieve for my poor brother
And i still hear my dear old mother cry
When late that night they came and told her
He'd lost his life down in the big shoal mine
Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
I have no shame, i feel no sorrow
If on this earth not much i own
I have the love of my sweet children
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe
Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will i lay these burdens down
And when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
Yeah, when i die, dear lord in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

9. _ Two Doors Down
(dwight yoakam)
Two doors down there's a jukebox
That plays all night long
Real sad songs
All about me and you
Two doors down thee's a barmaid
That serves 'em real strong
Here lately
That's how i make it through
Two doors down there's a heartache
That once was my friend
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end
Two doors down there's a barstool
That knows me by name
And we sit there together
And wait for you
Two doors down there's a bottle
Where i take out my shame
And hold it up
For the whole world to view
Two doors down there's a pay phone
But no calls come in
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end
From the hotel to the barroom
Is just a stumble and a fall
And sometimes when it gets bad
I've been known to crawl
Freedom from sorrow
Is just two doors away
I'll escape for a short time
But i know i can't stay
Two doors down is where they'll find me
When you're finally through
Taking what's left of my life
Two doors down is where they'll leave me
When payment comes due
For the hours i've spent there each night
Two doors down i'll be forgotten
But until then
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end.

10. _ The Heart That You Own
the heart that you own
(dwight yoakam)
I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby i pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own
Used to be i could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now i pay daily on what once was mine
Lord i probably owe you
For the tears the i cry
'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay you what i owe
Just so i can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where i'd go now
'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own.
Extra
Yea, in my heart
The heart that you own

11. _ A Thousand Miles From Nowhere
(dwight yoakam)
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that i keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
Oh, i
I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'cause i'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place i want to be

12. _ Little Ways
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
To look at you and me, no one would ever know
The pain that i've endured 'cause i won't let it show
My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew
The truth about how i am just your lovesick fool
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue
But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you
There've been rumors of the truth but i've kept it quiet
'cause i'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry
Chorus:
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
Yeah your little ways can knock me to the ground

13. _ It Only Hurts Me When I Cry
(dwight yoakam, roger miller)
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
You couldn't tell it by this smile
But my recovery took a while
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky i'm alive
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
I'll tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry

16. _ Nothing's Changed Here
(dwight yoakam, kostas)
I hear you walking across the floor
I think that i'm dreaming
'til i hear you shut the door
I wake up crying and calling your name
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
The same old sun comes up to shine
On this old bed at the same old time
I tell myself he same old lie
I've got you off my mind
I feel your body lyin' next to mine
I reach out in the darkness
But you're not there for me to find
There's only sorrow, followed by pain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
I see your sweet lips softly kiss me goodbye
I taste the salt of my tear drops
As they fall down from my eyes
I take a deep breath
But it's only in vain
'cause nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
No, nothing's changed here without you
And i start every day the same

17. _ Streets Of Bakersfield
(homer joy)
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, i'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of bakersfield
Chorus:
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
Spent some time in san francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that i'd steal
Then i thanked him as i was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of bakersfield
Chorus:
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how i feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
