Songs Of The Kingwood Kowboy

If It Ain’t Broke (Larry W Jones 12/11/2019) (song #7660)

There’s an old weathered man named Cowboy Jones

Lives on a ranch raising buckskins and roans

He works outdoors in the heat and the cold

With steady head and a heart made of gold

He don’t pay union dues, behind on news

Thinks everyone’s entitled to his views

Jones plays his guitar for anyone near

And thinks it sounds good to hearing aid ears

And he says if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

But if it goes together then mix it

And if it’ll never come don’t wish it

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’s what he says

(Instrumental)

Some folks ride around in big fancy cars

But his old Dodge pickup goes just as far

He’s seen times go lean and business hobbled

But there’s Dairy Queen and old McDonalds

Jones taught all his kids to do what is good

And they all grew up doin’ what they should

Colors of people ain’t just black and white

Just do what you can and do what is right

And he says if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

But if it goes together then mix it

And if it’ll never come don’t wish it

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’s what he says

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’s what Jones says

Amigo’s Lonely Guitar (Larry W Jones 12/08/2019) (song #7659)

Today there is singing in Sonora

But tomorrow you will travel afar

Darling, hold me close if you still love me

While amigo plays his lonely guitar

Aye yi yi yi the full moon is weeping

And I’ll be keeping you here in my heart

In the goodbye morning my sweet darling

I’ll feel like amigo’s lonely guitar

(Instrumental)

Tonight there’s no singing in Sonora

There’s no laughter under bright Texas stars

Amigo plays a ballad of sadness

Upon the strings of his lonely guitar

Aye yi yi yi the full moon is weeping

And I’ll be keeping you here in my heart

In the goodbye morning my sweet darling

I’ll feel like amigo’s lonely guitar

In the goodbye morning my sweet darling

I’ll feel like amigo’s lonely guitar

Bottle On The Table (Larry W Jones 11/22/2019) (song #7658)

To an old tavern down the road I go most every night

Trying to lighten the load of a love that wasn’t right

This old tavern holds everything needed to tell it all

A bottle on the table neath a photo on the wall

Thumbtacks hold a lot of old photos and one dollar bills

Stuck to the walls by men from here to Nebraska’s Black Hills

One is an old photo of her and me having a ball

A bottle on the table neath a photo on the wall

(Instrumental)

Jukebox is saying that somebody done somebody wrong

And while it’s playing I know that it’s my personal song

I’ll stay right here humming along until the closing call

A bottle on the table neath a photo on the wall

Thumbtacks hold a lot of old photos and one dollar bills

Stuck to the walls by men from here to Nebraska’s Black Hills

One is an old photo of her and me having a ball

A bottle on the table neath a photo on the wall

This old tavern holds everything needed to tell it all

A bottle on the table neath a photo on the wall

On Heartbreak Hill Just Up The Road (Larry W Jones 11/20/2019) (song #7657)

Heartbreak Hill is what they call it

For seeds of love that didn’t grow

True love died when my heart got hit

On Heartbreak Hill just up the road

On Heartbreak Hill the sun was warm

And at night lover’s moons would glow

Why things changed guess I’ll never know

On Heartbreak Hill just up the road

(Instrumental)

Oh, she looked like a work of art

In a frame of beautiful gold

I didn’t know heartaches would start

On Heartbreak Hill just up the road

On Heartbreak Hill the sun was warm

And at night lover’s moons would glow

Why things changed guess I’ll never know

On Heartbreak Hill just up the road

Good At Goodbye (Larry W Jones 11/09/2019) (song #7656)

Well, Jim said to think it over twice

And maybe I should heed his advice

Don’t give dreams of love another try

Jim said that she’s real good at goodbye

My buddy Joe warned me once before

Don’t put a welcome mat at my door

Cause the tears I’ll cry may never dry

Joe said that she’s real good at goodbye

(Instrumental)

Now, my old chum Bob raised his eyebrow

When he heard that I might take a vow

Maybe I should come down from the sky

Bob said that she’s real good at goodbye

All my pals have warned me once before

Don’t put a welcome mat at my door

Cause the tears I’ll cry may never dry

They said that she’s real good at goodbye

But my heart still wonders why

Why she’s real good at goodbye

A Million Marvels (Larry W Jones 10/30/2019) (song #7655)

I don’t despise you cause I still loved you

Through all the hard times when you made me blue

Now, it’s a million marvels that I do

But I still want both my arms around you

Dear, I miss you though I cannot forget

That awful day you told me we were through

And you should know that I still want you yet

Though it’s a million marvels that I do

(Instrumental)

Marvels only come once in a million

If you’ll return dear, I will welcome you

And I’ll be willing to forget the past

Though it’s a million marvels that I do

Marvels only come once in a million

If you’ll return dear, I will welcome you

And I’ll be willing to forget the past

Though it’s a million marvels that I do

It’s a million marvels but I love you

Song Of Someone (Larry W Jones 10/28/2019) (song #7654)

Hard is the downpour of the rain

A song of someone as it falls

Warm drops against the window panes

Summer tears on my roof and walls

And from the refuge of my head

Beyond the distance of my eyes

I see the place where love was bred

And where the song of someone lies

With thoughts distracted and confused

My mind is many leagues away

Across the sea with love unused

A song of someone starts my day

A song of someone left undone

Key words that need a better rhyme

I still try but I’m finding none

Now I’m past my natural prime

I will see what tomorrow brings

Maybe some song will give a clue

Some lines might show the strangest things

Like what happened to me and you

Hard is the downpour of the rain

A song of someone as it falls

Winter has come and it’s so plain

Cold are tears on my roof and walls

A song of someone as it falls

Fifty Eight Ford Fairlane (Larry W Jones 10/27/2019) (song #7653)

Here’s the photo of our fifty eight Ford Fairlane

That Fairlane Five Hundred convertible looked fine

Black as shiny coal with red trim is how it came

Would be great if we could cruise in it one more time

Darlin’, I still feel the thrill just thinking

Of the neat places you and I drove to

I remember watching bright stars winking

In our fifty eight Ford Fairlane with you

(Instrumental)

They don’t make convertibles like Ford used to do

Darlin’, if they did then I would buy one again

I wouldn’t care if it was black and red or blue

Long as it was like our fifty eight Ford Fairlane

Darlin’, I still feel the thrill just thinking

Of the neat places you and I drove to

I remember watching bright stars winking

In our fifty eight Ford Fairlane with you

(Instrumental)

Recall darlin’ putting the top up in the rain

And listening to George Jones on the radio

I remember some of the country songs we sang

And corn dogs ordered at the drive-in picture show

Darlin’, I still feel the thrill just thinking

Of the neat places you and I drove to

I remember watching bright stars winking

In our fifty eight Ford Fairlane with you

Fifty eight Ford Fairlane convertible with you

Scene When I Started To Weep (Larry W Jones 10/25/2019) (song #7652)

Sometimes living is like a picture show

The screen is big and the tickets are cheap

I played the lead and I went with the flow

The scene was real when I started to weep

I played the part of the loser, the fool

She played her best part when I was asleep

The old movie reel rolled with someone new

He kissed her lips when I started to weep

(Instrumental)

The show was over and the credits rolled

He was the hero and I was the creep

I got the award, a statue of gold

For the big scene when I started to weep

I played the part of the loser, the fool

She played her best part when I was asleep

The old movie reel rolled with someone new

He kissed her lips when I started to weep

Sometimes living is like a picture show

Cause I played the lead and sorrow I know

Carson City Annie (Larry W Jones 10/24/2019) (song #7651)

The trail she took is long, steep and narrow

Gonna ride that trail straight as an arrow

Gonna ride to Carson City

Ride to Carson City

Gonna ride to Carson City, cowgirl

That wild west town’s where I’m gonna find you

I asked the folks here, have you seen Annie

Said she rode away to a new valley

Rode the trail to Carson City

Gone to Carson City,

Gonna ride to Carson City, cowgirl

That wild west town’s where I’m gonna find you

Ridin’ down Main Street and then right on Main

Searchin’ for a cowgirl in the cold rain

Well, I rode to Carson City

Rode to Carson City

Well, I rode to Carson City, Annie

This wild west town’s where I’m gonna find you

Went to a saloon lookin’ for my hun

She was dancin’ with a man with big gun

Rode away from Carson City

Way from Carson City

Rode away from Carson City Annie

Stay right there and I don’t mind if you do

Cowboys, here’s one thing you should never do

If a girl named Annie says she loves you

Stay away from Carson City

Way from Carson City

Stay away from Carson City Annie

Don’t ride the trail there whatever you do
