Ramblin' Man
05:26
|
|||
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' And doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin' I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia
But he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
[Instrumental Interlude]
I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leavin' out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them Delta women think the world of me
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin' I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Radar Love
06:15
|
|||
I've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby calling, says "I need you here"
And it's a half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air Radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky Radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars goes down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh, one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called Radar love

Folsom Prison Blues
02:38
|
|||
I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend
and I a'int seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps a movin' on down to-San-An-Tone
When I was just a baby my mame told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I heat the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eatin in a fancy dinin car
they're probably drinkin coffee and smokin big cigars
well i know i had it come i know i can't be free
but those people keep a movin and thats what tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine.
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line.
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay.
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.

Squeeze Box
02:46
|
|||
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playing all night
And the music's all tight
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Life In The Fast Lane
05:37
|
|||
He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, said he was crude
They had one thing in common they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane Are you with me so far?
Eager for action, hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
Out every evening until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time Life in the fast lane
Glowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring
We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing"
He said, "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's comin' but you gotta pay in cash"
They were rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost
They didn't care, they were just dyin' to get off and it was
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane

Tulsa Time
03:40
|
|||
I left Oklahoma drivin’ in a Pontiac just about to lose my mind
I was goin’ to Arizona maybe on to California where the people all live so fine
My baby said I’s crazy my momma called me lazy
I was goin’ to show ’em all this time
Cause you know I ain’t no foolin’ I don’t need no more schoolin’
I was born to just walk the line
Livin’ on Tulsa time livin’ on Tulsa time
Well you know I’ve been through it when I set my watch back to it
Livin’ on Tulsa time
[ solo ]
Well there I was in Hollywood wishin’ I was doing good talkin’ on the telephone line
But they don’t need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs guess I’m just a wastin’ time
Well then I got to thinkin’ man I’m really sinkin’ and I really had a flash this time
I had no bus’ness leavin’ and nobody would be grievin’
If I went back to Tulsa time
Livin’ on Tulsa time livin’ on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it cause you know I’ve been through it
Livin’ on Tulsa time
Livin’ on Tulsa time livin’ on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it cause you know I’ve been through it
Livin’ on Tulsa time

No Matter What
02:52

No matter what you are I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl Ooh girl, with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you
Knock down the old grey wall Be a part of it all
Nothing to see, nothing to say, nothing to do
If you would give me all As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl Ooh girl, want you
Knock down the old grey wall Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter what you are I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl Ooh girl, with you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you

I'm Over You
03:05
|
|||
Where there's a cloud, don't mean there's rain
Tears in my eyes, don't mean there's pain
Don't flatter yourself I'm over you
Things aren't always what they seem
You can't believe everything you read
On my face I'm over you
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
Why they making those stories up When I'm over you
There were times if you'd been around
You would have seen me broken down
But now you won't I'm over you
So if I seem a little bit cold
It only means you've lost the hold
You had on me I'm over you
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why they making those stories up When I'm over you
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why they making those stories up
When I'm over you I'm over you I'm over you

Cathy's Clown
02:30
|
|||
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound:
"Here he comes. That's Cathy's clown."
I've gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
But when he knows you're tellin' lies
And he hears them passing' by
He's not a man at all
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound:
"Here he comes. That's Cathy's clown."
When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it's sincere
Don't you think it's kind of sad
That you're treating me so bad
Or don't you even care?
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound:
"Here he comes.
That's Cathy's clown, That's Cathy's clown, That's Cathy's clown."

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

Forever And Ever, Amen
03:22
|
|||
You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you
Always will be
But you're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live
This love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die, Oh baby
I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
They say time takes it's toll on a body
Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
Well, honey, I don't care
I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out
Well I'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, it's easy to see
It's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you, Oh darling
I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you, Forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
I'm gonna love you, Forever and ever
Forever and ever, Forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

Blue eyes and a ponytail
Cheeks are rosy, she looks a little nosy
Man, this little girl is fine
Never knew a girl like a little Sheila

True love will never die
We're so doggone happy just bein' around together
Man, this little girl is fine

Then little Sheila whispers in my ear
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you Sheila dear

True love will never die
We're so doggone happy just bein' around together
Man, this little girl is fine
Oh, this little girl is fine. Yeah, this little girl is fine. Oh, this little girl is fine

The Santairs Auburn, Washington
I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
