You leave no room
you leave no room for me
I wait patiently for your smile
When I caught your eye
I wasn't dignified enough
Or satisfied by your attention
What's a girl to do
when she can't get enough
And she's has enough condescension

Oh I - I'm never so lonely
as when I'm with you
Never so lonely as when I'm with you

Once again you've talked yourself
into the ground
And you can't hear a sound
unless you speak it
My thoughts are fine
but you'll never get to hear them
cause maybe you fear them
Love is deaf and blind

Oh I - I'm never so lonely
as when I'm with you
Never so lonely as when I'm with you

You see my face, my dress
but I confess
I see a wilderness across the table
It's a cryin' shame
that you may never know
How far you have to go
to win my heart
I'm just a fool to waste
my time with you
Can't speak my mind with you
So I'll move on through

Oh I - I'm never so lonely
as when I'm with you
Never so lonely as when I'm with you.

JACQUELINE
(Cunniff/Trimble)

Jacqueline developed young
The boys just wanted her for fun
to get undone
But Jackie knew where she was from
She didn't want to be the one
to play it dumb

Jackie wants some medicine
To change the way she pulls 'em in
and knocks 'em down
She's too young to understand
The power that her body has
over men

Don't bring her down, don't bring her down
Don't bring her down, don't bring her down

Jacqueline could win a crown
If only she would wear a gown
and play the game
The ladies of the hair salon
They can't keep from goin' on
about her ways

"Jackie don't know what she needs
She needs a big ol' house to clean
and a man to please
If only she could get some sense
And stop her sittin' on that fence
and dreamin' on"

Don't bring her down, don't bring her down
Don't bring her down, don't bring her down
Down... Down...
Don't bring her down, don't bring her down
Don't bring her down, don't bring her down

RED UMBRELLA
(Cunniff/Trimble)

Through the window I hear the rain
It reminds me of you
The sounds of the drops
Caress me as sweetly as you

On my pillow my eyes fill with tears
And I'm here feeling blue
Call me crazy but I can't stop thinking
Of how you could never be true

Still miss you
even though you done me wrong
Still miss you
it's been much too long
I thought I could find another fella
But all I want to see is
your red umbrella

You walk by my door
You always would knock there before
But tonight you walk on
I guess our love isn't that strong

I try to erase
All the days that I looked
at your face
With love in my eyes
Your leaving was such a surprise

Still miss you
even though you done me wrong
Still miss you
it's been much too long
I thought I could find another fella
But all I want to see is
your red umbrella.

JOLENE ON THE FREEWAY
(Cunniff)

Highway patroller says pull over
Didn't know a girl could go that fast
If you wanna picket your ticket
Come around the back
and gimme some of that

Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man
Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man

Highway patroller
he's a man with a mission
Hormones in his blood
and radar on his mind
Stopping anybody
who don't look like him
Do what he says
or he'll make you walk the line

Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man
Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man

Ask me why I drive this way
I'm driving for my life
Ask me why I run from you
I'm running for my life
Ask me why I hide from you
I'm hiding from your light
I'm alright
In the darkness of the highway night

Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man
Jolene on the freeway
She don't like a uniform on a man

ONE SUNNY DAY
(Trimble)

Start the tune
This song for you
The story kind of old
You how often
it's been told
it's been told
Song goes like this
There was a girl wantin' bliss
She was ready to go
Things here simply
moved too slow
moved too slow

She thought this was
a one horse town
She'd save herself from it
anyhow
Sittin' there day in day out
made her wanna
scream and shout out loud

She was workin' on a scheme
That would jumpstart
her dreams
And then one sunny day
He came and took
her breath away - hey hey
Lean as a tree, his shadow
stretched across the street
He wore a charmer's smile
He always went
that extra mile
extra mile

He was an old-fashioned guy
These modern times
came as a big surprise
They were gonna tear him down
They were gonna
knock him around

Song ends on a happy note
These two are
so very devoted
They can live a lover's tale
They have no intention
of failing.

HEY COWBOY
(Trimble)

Hey cowboy
When you came to town
Brushed off the dust
from your travels
And took a good look around
Tired and hungry
You wanted womanly love
And you thought it'd be easy
To find all of the above
Right here with me
Ain't I lucky

I'm the luckiest girl in town
I was doing fine before
you started sniffin' around
I was happy trying
every flavor
So please don't think
you're doing me any favors

Thought you could leave
your troubles behind
'Cause out of sight is
out of mind
You've been implicated
in crimes (of the heart)
Always leave the scene
just in time
In your search for a warm bed
You neglected to see
How uninterested
your sweettalk did leave me
Fool's gold I see
Ain't I lucky

I'm the luckiest girl in town
I was doing fine before
you started sniffin' around
I was happy trying
every flavor
So please don't think
you're doing me any favors.

REVEREND
(Cunniff/Trimble)

Reverend McCulloughy
Is preaching now
to you and me
He performs these miracles
that soothe your pains
and cure your ills

I saw his face on my TV
Salvation was my fantasy
He'd lay his hands
upon my flesh
Then I'd lay me down to rest

You say you'll cure
my painful limbs
That you'll shed
your light on me
But if my pain is of the heart
Will your powers
reach that far?

Your church is big
The light pours in
I feel the fire of God within
I call your name
in times of need
Oh Reverend
can you save me?

My suffering may be my vice
But Mary tells me
that's alright
I see her tears and hold in mine
The pain I feel is so divine

You say you'll cure
my painful limbs
That you'll shed
your light on me
But if my pain is of the heart
Will your powers
reach that far?

MAMA NEVER SAID
(Cunniff)

Mama never said
it would be easy
If only she would
take my hand
and show me what to do
It gives me the blues to walk
the long and narrow path I do
But you have to get the blues
to get anywhere at all
You have to get the blues
to get anywhere at all

I just want to live
my life in harmony
The way I try you'd think
I'd see it frequently
Why do I keep getting fussin'
fightin', cussin', strife and trouble
You have to get the blues
to get anywhere at all
You have to get the blues
to get anywhere at all

Mama never said
it would be easy
But she never told me
it would be so hard
Softening the edges
doesn't please me
It could never soothe
my searching heart

Dimestore puzzles
fit together nicely
But the pieces of my life
don't fit precisely
Stories mama told me
always had a happy ending
But I have to tell my own
to get anywhere at all
I have to tell my own
to get anywhere at all

Mama knew the rules
and kept on smiling
Even though her spirit
was in hiding
But when I hide
my thoughts collide
And I get caught up in the lie
You have to kiss the sky
to get anywhere at all
You have to kiss the sky
to get anywhere at all

Mama never said
it would be easy
But she never told me
it would be so hard
Softening the edges
doesn't please me
It could never soothe
my searching heart.

DON'T KNOW WHY
(Trimble)

Don't know why
you went away
I thought that
you had come to stay
What'll I do from now on
Can't be the way I was before
My heart's not in it anymore
Even though life must go on

Now you're gone
Can't sleep at night
Lately every night's a fight
To keep you out of
heart and soul and mind
Thoughts of you
won't let me go
'Cause you just
broke my heart, you know
Still walkin' tall
in my mind's eye

Prayin' you'll come back to me
And waiting for you patiently
Don't know what else I can do
Don't know if I can
last too long
Can't forget you
I'm not that strong
And I don't know
how to go on

Still you're gone
Can't sleep at night
Lately every night's a fight
To keep you out of
heart and soul and mind
Thoughts of you
won't let me go
'Cause you just
broke my heart, you know
Still walkin' tall
in my mind's eye
La la la la la...

FRENCH KISS
(Cunniff)

There's nothing here
to justify your fear
I hold the key
for you to come find me
I wait for the day
the funny farm comes
to take me away
I'm so in love
with you, my dear
I'm so in love
with you, my dear
Badadada...
Aah...

Time on my hands
I'm longing to fly
To foreign lands
Where love is in style
I wait for the day
The funny farm comes
to take me away
I'm so in love
with you, my dear
I'm so in love
with you, my dear
Badadada...
Aah...
