Chorus:
I like George Jones, Willie and Waylon
I think Kris (Kristofferson) and Merle are songwrittin’ saviors
Townes Van Zant, he died too soon
But now hes up there with Hank
And there both fightin’ the Nashville blues
Well the songwritin’s left up to old hillbillies
hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou
I’m too young to have a point of view
But I just want to be a part of fightin' the Nashville blues
Fightin’ the Nashville blues ain’t fun
It takes a toll on your mind
But all the great ones they been there too
And they’re all fightin’ the Nashville blues

Well, I moved back to Austin to try to make a livin
But it ain’t been so easy with those hill country women
And I’m stuck inside of this 8×12 room
And my throat’s a scratchin’ from the cigaretts and booze
And my face is wrinklin’ and my mind’s a strayin’
And I get on my knees and I get to prayin’
But my hands are worn like the soles of my shoes
And the Lord only knows, I’m just fightin’ the Nashville blues

Alt. Chorus:
I like Johnny Cash, Willie and Waylon
I think Chris (Wall) and Merle are songwritin’ saviors
Old Keith Whitley, he died too soon
Bun now he’s up there with Hank
And there both fightin’ the Nashville blues

Well the songwritin’s left up to old hillbillies
Young hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou
I’m too young to have a point of view
But I just want to be a part of fightin’ the Nashville blues
Fighten’ the Nashville blues

Texas Time Travelin’
By Cory Morrow
rmofle at satx.rr.com

Well, close your eyes and dream with me
I’m goin’ on a trip through history
I wanna see some sights today
Hey, we’ll go back when time was young
And you learned the trigger of the gun
Or you’d be six feet on your way

When the mountains closed the valley side
And the rivers held the miner’s pride
It was the year of ’49
Hey those days are now gone and dead
And I wish that I could see the lead
Flying from the cowboy’s iron

Chorus:
I wanna go [D/C#]time [D/B]trave[D/A]lin’ through Texas you and me
I wanna go [D/C#]time [D/B]trave[D/A]lin’ through Texas you and me
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all I can see
In my Texas time travelin’ machine

Well the day goes on, the sun beats down
And bakes your skin a golden brown
Now your feelin’ like a king
And we’ll pull off along side the road
And see the land that Jesse owned
And all the times he spent with me
Then along the skyline of the trees
We’ll skinnydip within the stream
And we’ll flash the passin’ cars
And then we’ll jump into our Cadillac
The tracks of time will take us back
Back to the land off so far

Chorus

You got to take a look around and see
Tis land before it drowns
Underneath the city streets
Geronimo, he said it best,
“This is my land, I will not rest
Until I’m dead or it’s been freed”

Chorus

Chorus

Nothing Left To Hide
Cory Morrow

I wanna feel this way forever and a day
I wanna feel this way and I don’t want it to change
Can you help me son, I’ve got a problem to fulfill
I’ve got a demon inside me, and he won’t let me stand still
It won’t be long now, there won’t be nothing left to hide

I’m taking classes, I learn to speak and look tall
Yeah but nobody here has learned to read the writing on the wall
And I take my chances and I’m gonna gamble with my heart,
If I lose I’ll just wish upon a different star
Somewhere down the line I lost my way and hurt my pride
Won’t be long now, there won’t be nothing left to hide

They talk in circles, don’t even understand themselves
Yeah but they got an offer, and I got a stack of unpaid bills
And I’m on a highway, somewhere south of your hometown
And whistles are blowin’ and ghosts are runnin’ on the ground
Somewhere down the line I lost my way
And there’s nobody here left to blame
Except me and this face that I can’t hide
Won’t be long now, there won’t be nothing left to hide
Won’t be long now, there won’t be nothing left to hide

I wanna feel this way forever and a day

The Highway

Intro: E

VERSE
I am the cause of the effect
I am the reason to object
I am the wind in your sails
Well, I am a hammer to a nail
I am the passion in your dreams
I am the spark that lights flame
Just like the whiskey in your glass
Well, I’m on a highway driving fast

CHORUS
I’m on a highway to my dreams
With the windshield like a rythem from the rain
Well like a steel locamotive, from the past
I’m on a highway driving fast

(SOLO)

BRIDGE
You could take a country trail
Or you could ride the city rail

But for me the highways the only way I know, to go

(SOLO)

VERSE

Well I’m on the highway, on the run
Feelin’ the burning from the sun
Choosing the right or wrong path
Well, Im on the highway driving fast

(CHORUS)

I’m on a highway baby driving fast

Shes just a lady.

You know she makes me smile

Shes just a woman

For her Id walk a thousand miles

Shes just a child

Though she makes me cry

If youre listenin to me, you might see shes the apple of my eye

[PICK UP THE RIFF TEMPO]

[VERSE 2]

Listen close, I got a story to tell you all

Bout a woman and the things she done wrong

Dressed in red, she look better than before

She stole my heart and she threw it on the floor (yeah)

Its hard to see how I ever could believe

She might love only me

You gotta help me my friends, you gotta take me away

You gotta let me in and say

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away before I fall in love with her

[SOLOGOOD LUCK HAH]

[VERSE 3SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS VERSE 2]
Shes a spider now spinnin her web
When I got all tangled up in her bed
You know she tore apart everything that I knew
About a world no love that could be true
Well now im blind my heart I cannot see
You took away that very part of me

[VERSE 4SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS VERSES 2&3]

Now the days done the world seems so fine
Without her memory fillin up my mind
No I was a wreck, I couldnt even dress myself
I couldnt tie my shoes without somebodys help
Now Im all alone got no romance
I run away at every womans glance

[VERSE 5SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS VERSE 1]
Shes just a lady
You know she makes me smile
Shes just a woman
For her Id walk a thousand miles
Shes just a child
Though she makes me cry
And if youre listenin to me, you might see shes the apple of my eye

YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU HOLD ME IN CHAINS
BUT YOUR LOVE, IT RADIATES

TIME MOVES ON, AND FRIENDS THEY GO
YOU WERE THE BEST, THAT ID EVER KNOWN
NOW YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FALL INTO DREAMS
AND ILL FIND YOU THERE, WALKIN WITH ME

YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU HOLD ME IN CHAINS
BUT YOUR LOVE, IT RADIATES

INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F C G Am G F

YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU HOLD ME IN CHAINS
BUT YOUR LOVE, OH BABY IT RADIATES

YOU WARM MY SOUL, YOU RADIATE
