Trouble in the Fields

Nanci Griffith

Baby I know that we’ve got trouble in the fields
When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield
The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain
They leave our pockets full of nothing
But our dreams and the golden grain

Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station
They’re all buying their ticket out and talking the great depression
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow

And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
They’ll never take our native soil
But if we sell that new John Deere
And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields

There’s a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
And there’s a little bit of you and a little bit of me
In the photos on every page
Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
They never want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder

And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
They’ll never take our native soil
But if we sell that new John Deere
And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields

You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields

Willie Nelson – Always On My Mind (Official Video)

Lyrics

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
I’m so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things that I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine

Lyrics
You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don’t ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways
To keep ’em from running wild
 
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
 
I see you tugging on your shirt
Trying to hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
You get discouraged, don’t you, girl?
It’s your brother’s world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
 
They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Lyrics

Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air
Legs movin’ side to side, smack it in the air
Legs movin’ side to side, smack you in the air
Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air
Smack it, smack it in the air, legs movin’ side to side
Smack it, smack it in the air, smack it, smack it in the air

Wave your hands side to side, put it in the air
Wave your hands side to side, put it in the air
Clap, clap, clap like you don’t care
Smack that, clap, clap, clap like you don’t care (I know you care)

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap it
Foot up, my foot up, hold up now my foot up (spinnin’)
I’m spinnin’ my foot up, foot up, yeah, my foot up (spinnin’)
I’m spinnin’ my foot up, put my foot down, yeah, my hands up
My hands up, my hands up (flexin’), flexin’ while my hands up

My hands up, my hands up, I stand up with my hands up
Then I put up, my hands up, I put up, my hands up
I put up, my hands up then I’m spinnin’ all my hands up (spinnin’)

Spinnin’ while my hands up (spinnin’), spinnin’ while my hands up (spinnin’)
Spinnin’ while my hands up then I’m tippin’ all my hands up

I’m spinnin’, I’m spinnin’, I’m spinnin’ while my hands up (drank)

Hold that cup like alcohol, hold that cup like alcohol
Hold that cup like alcohol, don’t you drop that alcohol
Never drop that alcohol, never drop that alcohol
I know you thinkin’ about alcohol, I know I’m thinkin’ bout that alcohol

Man, this here like rollin’ dice, man, this here like rollin’ dice

Ooh, wee BB freaky deaky, think me see she pink bikini
Rock that kufi, dye dashiki, Nefertiti, edges kinky
Sweatin’ out my blow out, sweatin’ out my presses
This trick about to go off, mad ’cause I’m so fresh
Fresher than you, I’m fresher than you
Fresher than you, oh

Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton – Sometimes When We Touch #musicaware

 

Lyrics

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I’d rather hurt you, honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I’m only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you ’til I die
‘Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
‘Til the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I’m just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you ’til I die
‘Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
‘Til the fear in me subsides
At times I’d like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I’d like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you’ve tried
I’ve watched while love commands you
And I’ve watched love pass you by
At times I think we’re drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you ’til I die
‘Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
‘Til the fear in me subsides

Miley Cyrus – The Backyard Sessions -“Jolene” by Dolly Parton #musicaware

Jolene

Dolly Parton

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don’t know what he means to me
Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He’s the only one for me
Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do
Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Lyrics

I know what she’s like
She’s out of her mind
And wraps herself around the truth
She’ll jump on that flight and meet you that night
And make you tear up the room

Yeah, she loves when everybody’s watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming)
She’s coming for you
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming for you)

She’ll dance in the dark
A real work of art
Her eyes could burn down the room
So get out while you can
You don’t understand
She doesn’t know how to lose

Yeah, she loves when everybody’s watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming)
She’s coming for you
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming for you)

She’ll run with your mind and pull you in tight
Then trade you in for something new
I know what it’s like, I fell for it twice
And now I’m just warning you

She loves when everybody’s watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She loves when everybody’s watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming)
She’s coming for you
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming)
She’s on the loose (she’s coming, she’s coming for you)

She’s on the loose
She’s on the loose

Helpless Heart

Song by Paul Brady

I’m sitting here inside this stranger’s place
And time is racing by
I’ve been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I’m wondering why
You try to understand the things that I feel
Maybe this time I’ll find a way to explain it
There is a dream, deep inside my head
And it may seem like it’s breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But, darling, I know, though we’re far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
To you, only to you, no one but you
This power takes me from the place I belong
To where only the strong get through
You got to keep on believing or you lose your way
It slips right out of view
Though there are days the light can flicker and fade
Here in this place, tonight, a fire is burning
