(Intro)

(Verse 1)

And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby

(Chorus)

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

(Verse 2)

But it was a dream made to order
South of the border
And nobody knows me like my baby
And she cried man how could you do it
And I swore that there weren’t nothing to it
But nobody knows me like my baby

(Chorus)

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

And I like cream in my coffee
And I hate to be alone on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby

When I was a very young man
I was a cowboy, the best in the land
But then she settled me down with a touch of her hand
Now I’m begging you mister
Tell me if you can

Chorus:
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run

Now a young girl, she don’t know when she’s lying
But a woman, great God, she knows how its done
So mama before I go, there’s just one thing on my mind
Which way does that old pony run

Chorus:
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run

So this good life you know I must leave
Your new car and your color TV
But what’s riches to you, just ain’t riches to me
And if you’re staying out here
Then I’m headed back east

Chorus:
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way does that old pony run

It[(Ab7)]’s a sunny day in [(Db9)]sunny California
But that [(Ab7)]old sun it’s shining on me [(E9)]right here at [(Eb9)]home
It’s one of those [(Ab7)]days
When those great ideas they just seem to [(Db9)]fall out on you
And they always [(Ab7)]fall the greatest when you’re [(E9)]falling al[(Eb9)]l alone
It makes for a good day for some serious reflection
And massive rationalization
For contemplating the future of the future
And the last of the past
And wondering if you could ever forgive me darling
All the trouble that I put to you
And if I could forget all those questions
That I never asked
And if I could forgive
The temporary weight gain due to excessive water retention
I could forgive the rest too
It’s just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn’t good
But she had good intentions

VERSE 2
So the grass it grows
When the sun it shines
And face it glows
When the woman’s mine
And you say I’m a fool-around
Honey that may be true
But I’d sooner fool around
Than be a fool for a fool
And if I could forgive
The unadulterated adulterating apprehension
I could forgive the rest too
It’s just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn’t good
But she had good intentions

SOLO (see TAB below)

VERSE 3
So I’m twenty-six and rising
Still too young to live
But too low to go
I guess it’s the process
Of learning to excess
All of those things
That you already know
And if I could forgive

The honey-I swear-it-didn’t-mean-a-thing-to-me

Attempt at abstention
I could forgive the rest too
It’s just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn’t good
But she had good intentions

She wasn’t good
But she had good intentions
