Blue Cadillac in the rearview mirror, coming up fast and making it clear I’m in his lane, I’d better move, lights are flashing, he’ll be here soon Watch out he’s coming, he’s on his way, Blue Cadillac owns the road today Blue Cadillac is on my tail, his wings are out, he’s gonna sail On down the road, someplace to be, Blue Cadillac bearin’ down on me Watch out he’s coming, trying to pass, Blue Cadillac can’t keep his foot off the gas He toots his horn, he changes lanes, his tires squeal, his engine strains His hood is smokin’, he’s on a roll, Blue Cadillac owns the whole damn road Blue Cadillac pull up beside, I give him room and let him by Hear the radio blastin’ loud as can be, I glance over in disbelief The prettiest girl that I ever did see, behind the wheel and she’s smiling at me She toots her horn, she changes lanes, her tires squeal, her engine strains Her hood is smokin’, she’s on a roll, Blue Cadillac owns the whole damn road Foot to the floor, try to keep up, she shifts to third, her Caddy jumps Her tail lights fade, she’s just a spec, I pull on over so I don’t wreck I drive that road now, day and night, hoping that Cadillac comes into sight She toots her horn, she changes lanes, her tires squeal, her engine strains Her hood is smokin’, she’s on a roll, Blue Cadillac, back on the road

When’s it gonna be love? Will I ever get to heaven? When will I stop feeling so doggone blue When’s it gonna be love? I can’t wait forever When can I come over and get next to you? I just saw a boy and girl walking down the street Holding hands and smiling, you know they looked so sweet When’s it gonna be love? Will I ever get to heaven? When will I stop feeling so doggone blue When’s it gonna be love? I can’t wait forever When can I come over and get next to you? If I ever stop looking, something in me died, and you know that just won’t do But, even when a pretty girl walks by, I can’t stop thinking about you When’s it gonna be love? Will I ever get to heaven? When will I stop feeling so doggone blue When’s it gonna be love? I can’t wait forever When can I come over and get next to you? I’ve been waiting all my life to find someone like you Won’t you come along with me and dance away these blues When’s it gonna be love? Will I ever get to heaven? When will I stop feeling so doggone blue When’s it gonna be love? I can’t wait forever When can I come over and get next to you?

Patches on Patches and knots in my laces Got no possessions but I’ve been lots of places Been down on my luck, been high as a kite I just keep moving ‘till I get it right I’ve never known anyone worries like you do Most thing you fear will come never will come true Take a step back and watch the world spin Life goes on easy if you know where you’ve been Patches on Patches and holes in my knees Old worn down shoes and a tear in my sleeve Everything I need is right here and now Patches on Patches is all I’ll allow Patches on Patches and knots in my laces I’ve been around and I’ve known smiling faces I’ve been around and I’ve done what I please With Patches on Patches and holes in my knees Patches on Patches and holes in my knees Old worn down shoes and a tear in my sleeve Nothing I need ever hides from me now Patches on Patches still find me somehow Old worn down shoes that still fit like a glove Nothing I need save a good woman’s love

One Mind 03:35
You and I are so entwined It’s like our thoughts come from one mind And everywhere I look I see Your smiling face look back at me How did we end up this way It’s a mystery – I can not say All I know is it’s just fine That you and I are of one mind. Pull the cork out of that bottle, let life flow, drink from the cup Think of all the days to follow, wait and see where we end up You’ve stayed with me for all this time And still our thoughts come from one mind And every morning I still see Your smiling face look back at me Pull the cork out of that bottle, let life flow, drink from the cup Think of all the days to follow, wait and see where we end up How did we end up this way It’s still a mystery today But I still think that it’s just fine That you and I are of one mind. Pull the cork out of that bottle, let life flow, drink from the cup Think of all the days to follow, wait and see where we end up

You know it’ been a long, long time Since you’ve come around You know it’s such a long, long way To the other side of town From the other side of town Would you like to sit awhile Would you like to stay I’m so glad to see your smile I’m so glad that you dropped by today We go back a long, long way I can’t remember when I can’t recall a single day I didn’t call you friend You’ve always been my friend But you know it’s just like old times Just like yesterday We both know it’s best sometimes To let the pieces lay Just let the pieces lay

Tie your duster to the saddle, pull the cinch up real tight Set your boots in the stirrups, head out at first light You ain’t comin’ back ‘til the cattle are in Rope ‘em and brand ‘em, then do it again And it’s cornbread and coffee, bacon and beans You won’t see your darling except in your dreams Coals from the fire dance in the wind It’s cornbread and coffee and bacon again Riding the fences day after day Get them all mended to keep in the strays Set camp at last light where the cool water flows And think of your darling wherever she goes And it’s cornbread and coffee, bacon and beans You won’t see your darling except in your dreams Coals from the fire dance in the wind It’s cornbread and coffee and bacon again Your wouldn’t trade it for diamonds and pearls Or a night on the town with those sweet dance hall girls The night air, it drives you to go it alone ‘Til you dance with your darling when you get back home. Down on your bedroll pull your hat past your eyes And dream of your darling on through the night
