Too Late To Be Mine (Larry W Jones 10/01/2019) (song #7631)

My darling I waited such a long time

For you to come around

I wanted to share our world together

When you got settled down

Oh, where have you been dear for so long now

I waited but you never sent a sign

I guess it doesn’t matter anyhow

Cause you came around too late to be mine

(Instrumental)

But darling I found someone without you

My heart got impatient and couldn’t wait

Although I knew that I shouldn’t doubt you

I went ahead and gave my heart away

Oh, where have you been dear for so long now

I waited but you never sent a sign

I guess it doesn’t matter anyhow

Cause you came around too late to be mine

I guess it doesn’t matter anyhow

Cause you came around too late to be mine

You came around too late to be mine

When Tiki Lights Are Burning Low (Larry W. Jones 07/14/2005) (song#3811)

Island music sweet and mellow

This night’s a treat, I know

I like to think that I’m your fellow

When tiki lights are burning low

You and I can stroll together

Where breakers roll in slow

We’ll be birds of a feather

When tiki lights are burning low

Two hearts in love revealing

Magic of the island’s charms

There’s no way of concealing

How I enjoy you in my arms

Words of love so tender

Whispered as the tradewinds blow

Your lips to mine surrender

When tiki lights are burning low

Two hearts in love revealing

Magic of the island’s charms

There’s no way of concealing

How I enjoy you in my arms

Words of love so tender

Whispered as the tradewinds blow

Your lips to mine surrender

When tiki lights are burning low

Look And See Who Shadowed Me Home (Larry W Jones 10/01/2019) (song #7630)

My buddies and I had a good time

And I was glad you weren’t on my mind

I never did think of you at all

And we had us a wonderful ball

But look and see who shadowed me home

Your memory’s still my legacy

You had to know I was all alone

Cause look and see who shadowed me home

(Instrumental)

You were following me through the door

Felt your presence as never before

My heart broke in pieces, right in two

And the pain increases over you

Oh, look and see who shadowed me home

Your memory’s still my legacy

You had to know I was all alone

Cause look and see who shadowed me home

(Instrumental)

You had to know I was all alone

Cause look and see who shadowed me home

Look and see who shadowed me home

You, oh you shadowed me home

Haven’t You Learned (Larry W Jones 10/01/2019) (song #7629)

Haven’t you learned I’m a bride to be

Haven’t you learned he’s the groom to be

On her left hand was a wedding band

I thought I would cry, thought I would die

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

Well, I was lost for words, her words hurt

And I wished that I had been more alert

I moved too slow for her love to grow

I thought I would cry, thought I would die

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

(Instrumental)

Haven’t you learned I’m a bride to be

Haven’t you learned he’s the groom to be

She kissed that guy then she waved goodbye

I thought I would cry, thought I would die

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

My poor heart hurt and my stomach churned

But what hurt most, she was unconcerned

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

Her words to me burned, haven’t you learned

Sky Rocket Empty Pocket Blues (Larry W Jones 09/30/2019) (song #7628)

Now, I try to make a livin’ while givin’ every day

But I gave my last dollar to an invoice yesterday

I had no choice if in this shanty house I want to stay

And inflation ain’t covered in my weekly weekend pay

No, inflation ain’t covered and it’s in sky rocket mode

I’m on the docket for past city bills they say I owe

Wall Street just took another big dive in the evening news

I just lose, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues

(Instrumental)

When payday rolls around the cost of living is compound

Some folks eat filet mignon, I have drumsticks for rib bones

My spouse who keeps the house wants to buy a new summer blouse

All bad news, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues

Sky rocket inflation has almost got me to drinkin’

A good thing I can’t afford it is what I’ve been thinkin’

My empty pockets have holes and don’t hold nothing but clues

Yep you knew, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues

My empty pockets have holes and don’t hold nothing but clues

Yep you knew, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues

Ken Burns Country Music (Larry W Jones 09/29/2019) (song #7627)

Ken Burns country music film was a big hit everywhere

It made folks around the world wish that they were really there

Ken Burns country music film made his’try with country songs

It made folks around the world join voices and sing along

It all started in nineteen thirty three

Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter fam’ly

Recorded songs in Bristol Tennessee

And as they say the rest is history

Ken Burns country music film was a big hit everywhere

Nashville was the heart of country music

In the Great Depression and World War II

Movies fell in love with singing cowboys

Roy Acuff, Texas Swing, the Opry too

Ken Burns country music film was a big hit everywhere

Kentucky bluegrass spread from Bill Monroe

Hank Williams was the Hillbilly Shakespeare

Johnny Cash, Elvis, Patsy are no more

With Ken Burns country music they’re still here

Ken Burns country music film was a big hit everywhere

Sons and Daughters of America glowed

And the Circle was unbroken we hear

Now, Hank didn’t get above his raisin’

But if young Hank done it this way ain’t clear

Ken Burns country music film was a big hit everywhere

It made folks around the world wish that they were really there

Ken Burns country music film made his’try with country songs

It made folks around the world join voices and sing along

Ken Burns country music was a lot more than film and song

By Examples Made (Larry W Jones 09/28/2019) (song #7625)

I was just nine when I picked up a dime

But it was not mine so I was afraid

My Daddy said son this won’t be much fun

But you must learn by good examples made

I know this will hurt son but I hurt more

While growing I want you to make good grades

The golden rule is worth more than gold ore

Life will be good with good examples made

(Instrumental)

I learned by good examples that ran deep

And I knew those lessons would never fade

I counted my blessings while counting sheep

I would always live by examples made

My Daddy was a man whom I loved so

Took me to games where popcorn overflowed

I learned to drive his truck although quite slow

Ten miles or so down a long country road

(Instrumental)

My Daddy loved life and spoke with a drawl

By examples made, made me know it all

I went to see the world, went everywhere

Many years passed before I got the call

By examples made, made me know it all

I went to see the world, went everywhere

Many years passed before I got the call

Back at home Daddy was no longer there

You Don’t See Me (Larry W Jones 09/28/2019) (song #7621)

You look right straight at me

And then to my demise

I see that you don’t see

All the love in my eyes

You know my name it’s true

But why am I so blue

I know you don’t see me

No, you don’t see the man

Who wants to hold your hand

And wants to see the day

When “I do” you will say

My poor heart’s full of woe

Cause I can’t be your beau

I know you don’t see me

Oh, that fine day will never come

I’ll never be your only one

For I can see that you don’t see

All the fine things you mean to me

No, you don’t see the man

Who wants to hold your hand

And wants to see the day

When “I do” you will say

My poor heart’s full of woe

Cause I won’t be your beau

I know you don’t see me

You look right straight at me

And then to my surprise

I see that you now see

All the love in my eyes

You know my love is true

You say you love me too

Now I know you see me

You know my love is true

You say you love me too

Now I know you see me

Written In Code (Larry W Jones 09/28/2019) (song #7624)

I was driving downtown when I turned the radio on

Then I heard the prettiest sound from a well written song

Each and every line seemed refined and pretty soon I knew

That love song was written in code all about me and you

That song was written in code

The melody of it showed

And every line of it told

All about your love and mine

(Instrumenal)

I began smiling from ear to ear with joy on my face

I was the happiest man in all earth’s human race

That love song was written in code all about me and you

And I knew as it flowed that all my sweet dreams would come true

That song was written in code

The melody of it showed

And every line of it told

All about your love and mine

That song was written in code

All about your love and mine

Was That A Heartbreak (Larry W Jones 09/28/2019) (song #7623)

Well, I never expected what I heard last night

My answer machine had on a blinking red light

When I turned it on it played back yesterday’s scene

I listened intently for what her message means

She started off by saying that she was just fine

But somehow I started to read between her lines

I thought I heard a scrape or the tape wasn’t clean

Was that a heartbreak on my phone message machine

(Instrumental)

Oh, at first her voice was filled with purpose and poise

When I played the tape back I detected some noise

I thought I heard a scrape or the tape wasn’t clean

Should I call her back this late to see what it means

She started off by saying that she was just fine

But somehow I started to read between her lines

I thought I heard a scrape or the tape wasn’t clean

Was that a heartbreak on my phone message machine

Was that a heartbreak on my phone message machine
