DWIGHT YOAKAM – Home Of The Blues

Just around the corner, there’s a heartache
Down the road, all losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops, my friend
I’ll meet you at the home of the blues

I walk and I cry as my heartache
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
It’s dark here at the home of the blues

But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet, that I cry
Dreams that I’ve had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So, if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain’t got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
I’ll meet you at the home of the blues

But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet, that I cry
Dreams that I’ve had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So, if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain’t got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
You’re welcome at the home of the blues

I’ll take you to the home of the blues

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Hold On To God

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life’s storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

Satan shall lead down a pathway of sin
Away from your heavenly home
With many great wonders, many great signs
Deceiving all but the strong

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life’s storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

Be not misled by miraculous deeds
Performed in the name of the Lamb
For He shall return as a thief in the night
To claim his own once again

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
And not the ways of the world
Hold on, hold on and put your trust
In His everlasting word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God
In this life’s storm tossed sea
Cling to Jesus, His lifeline
It will salvation bring

DWIGHT YOAKAM – I Don’t Care (Just As Long As You Love Me)

Well, I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
I don’t care if the bells don’t chime
Just as long as you love me
And I don’t care if the tops don’t spin
I don’t care if the gins won’t gin
Just as long as you love me

So darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north winds blow
Just as long as you love me
North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me

Well, I don’t care if the birds don’t sing
I don’t care if the bells don’t ring
Just as long as you love me
And I don’t care if the world don’t turn
I don’t care if the fires won’t burn
Just as long as you love me

So darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me
North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me
Oh, darling, just as long as you love me

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Here Comes The Night

I can see right out my window
Walking down the street
My girl, with another guy
His arms around her
Like it used to be with me
Hey man, it makes me want to die
Yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

There they go
It’s funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me

Why can’t I accept the fact
She’s chosen him
And simply let them be
Whoa whoa whoa

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

[Instrumental]

She’s with him he’s turning down the lights
And now he’s holding her the way I used to do
I can see her closing her eyes
And telling him lies exactly like she told me too
Whoa whoa whoa

[Chorus:]
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah

Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night
Here comes
Here comes the night…

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Heart Of Stone

[Chorus:]
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
‘Til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat

[Chorus:]
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
sure is missing you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
Sure is wishing you (wishing you)
were back where love belongs
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
has not forgotten you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
But broke while trying to (trying to)
pretend that it was strong

Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of any way it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die

[Chorus:]
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
sure is missing you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
Sure is wishing you (wishing you)
were back where love belongs
This heart of stone (heart of stone, heart of stone)
has not forgotten you (heart of stone, heart of stone)
But broke while trying to (trying to)
pretend that it was strong

But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Heartaches By The Number

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I’ve got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more

Now I’ve got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can’t win
But the day that I stop counting
That’s the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And told me you was coming home to stay
With hoping heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I’ve got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more

Now I’ve got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can’t win
But the day that I stop countin’
That’s the day my world will end

Oh, the day that I stop counting
That’s the day my world will end

One line in reservation, is this

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Dreams Of Clay

I’d been building hopes so long
Honey, I must have lost sight of what went wrong
‘Cause in sorrow’s blinding light today
Baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay

Years of yearning spent for you
Honey, I know now were the cravings of a fool
I guess your wants just slipped away
And baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay

[BRIDGE:]
I knew love could toss you down
An’ leave you there to crawl around
But never thought that was a fall we’d make

Getting up was nothing new
The kind of thing hearts learn to do
But knowing how doesn’t mean it’s easy to take

So I’ll forget about
Plans we had for me and you
And dwell on thoughts lonely lives pursue
Praying memories don’t stay
‘Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay

So I’ll forget about
Plans we had for me and you
And dwell on thoughts lonely lives pursue
Praying memories don’t stay
‘Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay

Yeah baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Fast As You

Maybe someday I’ll be strong
Maybe it won’t be long
I’ll be the one who’s tough, yeah
You’ll be the one who’s got it rough

It won’t be long
And maybe I’ll be real strong

Maybe I’ll do things right
Maybe I’ll start tonight
You’ll learn to cry like me, girl
Baby, let’s just wait and see

Maybe I’ll start tonight
And do things right

You’ll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me ’til I’m free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe I’ll be fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts too
But I think that you’ll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you, uh

You’ll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me ’til I’m free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees

Maybe I’ll be fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts too
I think that you’ll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you

Oh, sucker

DWIGHT YOAKAM – My Heart Skips A Beat

Oh, my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you’re mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

Well, I did a double take the day I met you
My heart turned a flip as I stood next to you
And I knew right there I never could forget you
For you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you’re mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

Well, you came into my life without a warning
You turned my cloudy skies from gray to blue
You’re my sunshine that comes up every morning
Oh yes, you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you’re mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

DWIGHT YOAKAM – Claudette

I got a brand new baby
and I feel so good
She loves me even better
Than I thought she could
I’m on my way to her house
And I’m plumb out of breath
When I see her tonight
I’m gonna squeeze her to death

[Chorus:]
Claudette, pretty little face Claudette
Never makes me fret, Claudette
Well she’s the greatest little girl
That I’ve ever met
I get the best lovin’
That I’ll ever get from
Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

Well I’m a lucky man
My baby treats me right
She’s gonna let me hug and kiss
And hold her tight
When the date is over
And we’re at her front door
I’m gonna kiss her goodnight
I holler more, more, more

[Chorus:]
Claudette, pretty little face Claudette
Never makes me fret, Claudette
Well she’s the greatest little girl
That I’ve ever met
I get the best lovin’
That I’ll ever get from
Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
Claudette, pretty little face Claudette
Never makes me fret, Claudette
Well she’s the greatest little girl
That I’ve ever met
I get the best lovin’
That I’ll ever get from
Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

When me and my new baby
Have a date or three
I’m gonna ask my baby
If she’ll marry me
I’m gonna be so happy
For the rest of my life
When my brand new baby
Is my brand new wife

[Chorus:]
Claudette, pretty little face Claudette
Never makes me fret, Claudette
Well she’s the greatest little girl
That I’ve ever met
I get the best lovin’
That I’ll ever get from
Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

Hey, Hey Claudette…
