Tempted - Lyrics

I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome

The lonesome sound of a train going by
Makes me wanna stop and cry
I recall the day it took you away
I'm blue, I'm lonesome too

Well, when I hear that whistle blow
I want to pack my suitcase and go
The lonesome sound of a train going by
Makes me want to stop and cry

In the still of night, in the pale moonlight
The wind it moans and sighs
These aw-felt blues, I just can't lose
I'm blue, I'm lonesome too

Well, when I hear that lonesome whistle blow
I want to pack my suitcase and go
The lonesome sound of a train going by
Makes me want to stop and cry

I'm blue, I'm lonesome too

Paint The Town Tonight

You left without a sign or a warning
I'm still holding some questions in my mind
In case you might ask how I'm a doin'
Here's what I think you're gonna find

I'm tired of mopin'. hopin', waiting on the telephone
I oughta know by now you ain't a gonna come back home
I'm goin' dancin', romancin', gonna love every girl in sight
I might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight

Well, I found me a honky tonk that loves me
And I'll close it down about daylight
'Cause me and my personal friends are a celebrating
And with every round you fade more out of sight

I'm tired of mopin'. hopin', waiting on the telephone
I oughta know by now you ain't a gonna come back home
I'm goin' dancin', romancin', gonna love every girl in sight
I might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight
Yeah, I'm might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight

Till I Found You

When I was a young man I thought I knew everything
But I didn't know nothing, till I found you
I used to get around some, I thought I'd seen everything
But I hadn't seen nothing, till I found you

Till I found you there was no light, nothing ever worked out right
Baby it's true, till I found you

Everybody's searching, they're trying to find something
But I don't need nothin', now I've found you
'Cause you're the only one love, the only one I'm sure of
And all I want is your love, now that I found you

Till I found you there was no light, nothing ever worked out right
Baby it's true, till I found you
Baby it's true, till I found

Tempted

There's a girl trying to steal my heart and I'm tempted
Even though she can tear it apart, I'm tempted
In her eyes there's mystery, every time she smiles at me
I know how it could be and I'm tempted

Each time she looks my way, I'm tempted
Just a little more every day, I'm tempted
It's so hard to resist, the thought of her sweet kiss
Can't take much more of this, I'm tempted

Tempted and tried, deep down inside
I can't deny that I'm tempted

Ever since she caught my eye, I'm tempted
Just one look and you'll know why I'm tempted
So if I'm burned by the flame, there's no one but me to blame
'Cause every time she calls my name, I'm tempted

Tempted and tried, deep down inside
I can't deny that I'm tempted
Tempted and tried, deep down inside
I can't deny that I'm tempted
I'm tempted, I'm tempted, I'm tempted

Blue Train

There's an engine at the station, the whistle calls my name
It's callin', callin', callin', come and get aboard me aboard the train
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles
With my guitar beating rhythm to click clack of the wheels
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Conductor go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you
'Cause there's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Little Things

Well, when the sun goes down at the end of the day
I want to see you again, I've got to find a way
Just to hear those little things you say

The way you touch me baby, the way you squeeze me tight
And when you hold me darlin' all through the night
Those little things make me feel all right

(Little things) like the way you kiss
(Little things) that I can't resist
(Little things) make me feel so fine
I've got to have your lovin' honey all the time
(Little things) ooh, when we touch
(Little things) you know they mean so much
(Little things) never make me blue
I love those little things you do

I've got a fever baby and it's burnin' hot
I'm gonna give you my love, everything I've got
'Cause those little things sure mean a lot

(Little things) like the way you kiss
(Little things) that I can't resist
(Little things) make me feel so fine
I've got to have your lovin' honey all the time
(Little things) ooh, when we touch
(Little things) you know they mean so much
(Little things) never make me blue
I love those little things you do

(Little things) like the way you kiss
(Little things) that I can't resist
(Little things) make me feel so fine
I've got to have your lovin' honey all the time
(Little things) ooh, when we touch
(Little things) you know they mean so much
(Little things) never make me blue
I love those little things you do
I love those little things you do
I love those little things you do

Half A Heart

Your heart's changing, our love is growing cold
Something tells me I'll be moving on
Some day, you'll see. just what you did to me
You'll want my love again, but I'll be gone

Half a heart ain't strong enough to hold me
I won't stand in your way
You don't love me no more my darlin'
Now I've got no reason to stay

Teardrops fallin' inside this lonely room
While you're out running round all over time
When the party's all over and your friends have let you down
You'll call for me, but I won't be around.

Half a heart ain't strong enough to hold me
I won't stand in your way
You don't love me no more my darlin'
Now I've got no reason to stay
I've got no reason to say

I Want A Woman

I want a woman, who's strong good and kind
She's got a heart as big as Texas and walks a straight and narrow line
She can lift you up with a flash of her smile
Stand right beside you cross that extra mile
That lovin' woman with the heart of a child

I want a woman, with a sweet and tender touch
One who will pay the price for love without asking how much
One who will keep me warm when the nights are cold
Face of an angel and heart of gold
That lovin' woman, with a fire down in her soul

Whenever she needs someone to hold her, I'll be there right by her side
Whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on, she can always cry on mine
Through thick and thin together, down the road come rain or shine
I want a woman like that, to be all mine

Whenever she needs someone to hold her, I'll be there right by her side
Whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on, she can always cry on mine
Through thick and thin together, down the road come rain or shine
I want a woman like that, to be all mine
I want a woman like that, to be all mine

Burn Me Down

Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

Your lips, hold a wild desire
And give a kiss like the devil's fire
Your kind of love could burn a town
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You touch brings me to my knees
You've got me begging "please, please, please"
Take my heart and melt it down
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You're a wild love, I can't tame
Your kisses burn like flames
I go crazy, when you're around
So touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

I'm devoured by your fiery flame
My lips can only speak your name
Just spread my ashes all around
Ah touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You're a wild love, I can't tame
Your kisses burn like flames
I go crazy, when you're around
So touch me, turn me on, and burn me down
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

Get Back To The Country

When I was a younger man, I got lucky with a rock and roll band
Struck gold in Hollywood, all that time I knew I would
Get back to the country, back where it all began
Get back to the country, back in the barn again

Now when we hit the road, big busses and trucks unload
After the curtain falls, load up and then we all
Get back to the country, back where it all began
Get back to the country, back in the barn again

When I was a younger man, got lucky with a rock and roll band
Struck gold in Hollywood, all that time I knew I would
Get back to the country, back where it all began
Get back to the country, back in the barn again
Get back to the country
Back to the country, back in the barn again
