Never Be You lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Take a look at my eyes

It's been a long, long time

I used to feel so strong

When I knew you were mine

But since you let me down

I'm hard to be around

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

I guess it all comes around

Baby, please don't cry

Love is gonna be a little reckless

Oh, lovers all have to stand trial

Since you let me go

There's nothing going on

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

He could never be you

He knows the rules

And he plays the part

But he only has me

He don't have my heart

He could never be you

So take a look at my eyes

No, you can't hide the truth

No, you don't get by on pride

It'll run over you

Since you let me down

I'm hard to be around

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

He could never be you

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

He could never be you

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh

He could never be you

Second To No One lyrics - Rosanne Cash

I don't want to be the sole survivor

I don't want to close it down

I don't want to know what goes on between you

Whenever I ain't around

I don't want to be the last to hear it

And I don't want to live apart

But I don't want to wear your diamond ring

If you won't give me your heart

I don't think you know how bad you treat me

But I can't live like a whore

She thinks she's got the key to your heart

Now I've got to wait by the door

If I could only learn to make you love me

I'll make you love me like I love you

If I could give you what I want to give you

I'd want to give you a heart that's true

I don't want to know how long you're leaving

And I don't want to know why

If I can't lie in your arms this evening

I'll just stay home and cry

I don't want to be second to no one

I don't want to let it be

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow

But tonight you belong here with me

I don't know if this can last forever

'Cause I don't know what I can stand

I can love you like a man should be loved

But I can't love half a man

If I could only learn to make you love me

I'd make you love me like I love you

If I could give you what I want to give you

I'd want to give you a heart that's true

If I could only learn to make you love me

I'd make you love me like I love you

If I could give you what I want to give you

I'd want to give you a heart that's true

Halfway House lyrics - Rosanne Cash

The summer was the killer

Between our hearts and minds

Every day a drama

Dragging by in quarter time

By summer it was over

I couldn't see it through

Trying not to lose my mind

While I was leaving you

Our friends are in the halfway house

You're still on the mend

Don't know if I've changed at all

But I'm in love with you again

We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams

In summer we were blinded

We thought it couldn't last

Crying 'bout the future

And fighting 'bout the past

The summer was no bargain

And look at us today

Running from the memory of

The price we had to pay

Our friends are in the halfway house

You're still on the mend

Don't know if I've changed at all

But I'm In love with you again

We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams

We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams

We're all in the halfway house

I guess I always knew

You could give up on yourself

But I could not give up on you

Pink Bedroom lyrics - Rosanne Cash

She paints her fingernails forbidden tones

She wants nervous youth on the telephone

He don't call

She sticks another pin

In her doll

And puts it next to her stuffed animals

She got the tube top

She got the french heels

She got the blow dry

She got her eyes peeled

She got the tight jeans

Seventeen magazine

She got it all

She got it all

She got it all

In her pink bedroom

She thinks all her boyfriends are so dumb

She drinks coca-cola with valium

Mother calls

She sticks another pin

In her doll

And lets those fingers talk her into it

She got the lip gloss

She got the short shorts

She got her records

And they're all imports

She got her good looks

She got her yearbook

She got it all

She got it all

She got it all

In her pink bedroom

They say they got her future down at the desk

Now they're drawing blood for the grown-up test

Something crawls

Beneath her lily skin

And her doll

Is so relieved she's lost her innocence

It was a teen game

Now we're serious

It's all customised

Don't get curious

She got her pension

And your attention

She got it all

She got it all

She got it all

In her pink bedroom

Never Alone lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You were like a lost kid looking for home

You found what you wanted right in my arms

So if you walk out on me

Leave your memory

Take my sympathy and go

I love you so

You're never alone

So if you find another woman turns your head

And you can't understand why it hurts so bad

Then if you walk out on me

Just leave your memory

Take my sympathy and go

I love you so

You're never alone

There ain't no need to talk about it

I can learn to live without it

Just leave your heart right here with me

If you walk out on me

Leave your memory

Take my sympathy and go

If you walk out on me

Leave your memory

Take my sympathy and go

I love you so

You're never alone

My Old Man lyrics - Rosanne Cash

The old man is laughing tonight

He's young beyond his fears

But then the smile drops from his eyes

And we all wind up in tears

The old man's crying tonight

'Cause it all happened so fast

He's frightened by the future

Embarrassed by the past

So let him be who he wants to be

'Cause he ain't ever gonna be young again

And let him see who he needs to see

'Cause he never had too many friends

And ask him how he remembers me

'Cause I want to know where I stand

How I love my old man

The old man's restless tonight

Just trying to kill his pain

He believes what he says he believes

But that don't make him a saint

The old man's lonesome tonight

And he just wants to go home

All those fools who stand in his way

Why can't they leave him alone

So let him be who he wants to be

'Cause he ain't ever gonna be young again

And let him see who he needs to see

'Cause he never had too many friends

And ask how he remembers me

'Cause I want to know where I stand

How I love my old man

Never Gonna Hurt lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You give me no reason to cry but I do

You tell me you don't tell me lies, is that true?

I can't stand your strange emotion

I don't like your meek devotion

Just send my old heart in motion

So you can't hurt me anymore

It ain't ever gonna hurt anymore

You tell me I got out of line and I did

You think I'll never survive but I'll live

Let's break up that bound together

I'll use all my drastic measures

And leave while I still feel clever

So you can't hurt me anymore

It ain't ever gonna hurt anymore

Well I think you've lost your youth

And you think I play too loose

But I'll tell you what the truth is

You can't hurt me anymore

So let go of old emotions

Get someone's new devotion

You think I'm only jokin'

But you can't hurt me anymore

It ain't never gonna hurt anymore

Closing Time lyrics - Rosanne Cash

I was a fool to say it was over

I was concerned with my pride

The words are crazy and fall out of place

From this heartache I can't hide

I hear your name in slow conversation

I see your face in the crowd

My heart desires so many things

That my pride just can't allow

I'd close down this heart tonight

Leave without a fight

Say goodbye to your sweet memory

If I can lie in your arms tonight

If I can lie in your arms tonight

Was I the fool to think you would see me

When all I wanted was you

Then I saw your eyes go through those changes

And wondered how you knew

I hear your name in slow conversation

I close my eyes and knew

I'd never find a way to deceive you

I just can't let you go

I'd close down this heart tonight

Leave without a fight

Say goodbye to your sweet memory

If I can lie in your arms tonight

If I can lie in your arms tonight

I was a fool to say it was over

Ain't No Money lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Everyday now I hear people say

My ship is sailin' could be any day

Any day now it might not feel so blue

My baby tells me stop and look around

If you ain't careful, Hon, you're trouble bound

Run home for cover and you might not find none there

He say there ain't no money in this runnin' around

Can't make money stayin' at home

And there ain't no future in the way that it feels today

Baby there ain't no money

Baby there ain't no money

Baby there ain't no money in the ones that you really love

I try and tell 'em, baby, straight and true

No love or money tells you what to do

You're born to ramble baby that's what I was too

Just breakin' even even if I lose

Ol' lucky seven put his hold on you

I got your number baby any way you move

Baby there ain't no money and that's for sure

Ain't no money behind no doors

And there ain't no trouble that a poor boy won't go through

Baby there ain't no money

Baby there ain't no money

Baby there ain't no money in the ones you really love

(No running around - just staying at home)

Down On Love lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You say you like my lovin'

You say you like my style

But you're too quick with your fast talk

And you're too quick with your smile

I don't know what your plan is

Or what you're thinkin' of

I just know you're high on lovin' baby

But you're down on love

You know I like your lovin'

But lovin' ain't enough

I'm the kind that likes to feel it

Not that near love stuff

I don't know what your plan is

Or what you're thinkin' of

I just know you're high on lovin'

But you're down on love

You're down on love

Yes I know the reason why

You're the passin' through type, baby

And I'm just not that kind

I don't know what your plan is

Or what you're thinkin' of

I just know you're high on lovin', baby

But you're down on love

You're down on love

You say you like my lovin'

You said you like my style

But you're too quick with your fast talk

And you're too quick with your smile

I don't know what your plan is

Or what you're thinkin' of

I just know you're high on lovin', baby

But you're down on love

I said I don't know what your plan is

But I don't like givin' up

I just know you're high on something, baby

But you're down on love

You're down on love

I Wonder lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Every time I'm near you

My heart jumps all about

My mind can't figure out what to do

But I've been disillusioned

Enough by love turned blue

Your love may be true, but I wonder

Am I supposed to think 

That your love will be true

And deny the part of me

That says you'd leave me too

'Cause yesterday reminds me

That what I've lost is gone 

Your love may linger on, but I wonder

Am I supposed to think 

That your love will be true

And deny the part of me

That says you'd leave me too

'Cause yesterday reminds me

That what I've lost is gone 

Your love may linger on, but I wonder

Ooh, I wonder

Yeah, I wonder

Ooh, I wonder

Ooh

Oh, Yes I Can lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Rain, rain

Lord watch it rain

Wash away the dirt

Can't wash away the pain

I feel as empty

As a paper cup

Gonna take that thing

Gonna fill it up

Oh yes I can

Anytime I want to

Oh yes I can

Baby and I think that I'm going to

Break my heart

This one's on me

I ain't lookin' for

Any sympathy

I feel like fallin'

For some old worn out line

Oh don't you know

I can get it anywhere

Anytime

Oh yes I can

Anytime I want to

Oh yes I can

Baby and I think that I'm going to

Night is calling

And I want to answer

Got to move in closer

Baby cause I'm a dancer

Got to play it louder

Got to make it stronger

Got to dance my heart out

Just a little while longer

Looking For A Corner lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Trouble when you're searching

And you ain't so very young

You don't fit into table talk

But you can't hold back your tongue

You have what they all desire

So you must want it too

I'm looking for a corner

To back my heart into

Trouble when they know you

Your face or just your name

They count the times you stumble

When you barely know the game

You know you never asked for this

Someone who looks like you

I'm looking for a corner

To back my heart into

I just want to find while there's still time

Some peace of mind that I can hold on to

I ain't lookin' for no magic door

Then waiting for someone to push me through

Trouble when the ones you love

Don't know how to love you back

You're forever climbing icy walls

Forever falling back

You're not even lying

And they don't believe it's true

I'm looking for a corner

To back my heart into

Trouble when the heartaches

Don't hurt you anymore

There's nothing like the passion

That you felt so long before

You have what they all desire

But you want it to

I'm looking for a corner

To back my heart in to

It Hasn't Happened Yet lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You said that I would be sorry

If you went away

You said I wouldn't be happy

Without hell to pay

You said the teardrops would fall

Between the bedroom walls

You said that I would regret

But it hasn't happened yet

Your friends come over and offer

To take me to eat 

They seem so sorry I'm sufferin'

So much misery

They say to just give a call

Next time that I start to crawl

I always say yeah you bet

But it hasn't happened yet

I don't have anyone

I'm havin' fun

Nobody's into me

No one's a mystery

I see you on the street

My heart don't miss a beat

Love and hostility

Don't mean a thing to me

I find it hard to remember

The good times we had

Call me insensitive

Now that it's over, I'm glad

You said when big shadows fell

It would be too hard to tell

My life from your silhouette

But it hasn't happened yet

Don't hold your breath, baby

That's How I Got To Memphis lyrics - Rosanne Cash

If you love somebody enough

You'll follow wherever they go

That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough

You'll go where your heart wants to go

That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis

I know if you've seen him

You'd tell me cause you're my friend

I've got to find him

And find out the trouble he's in

And if you tell me he's not here

You can follow the trail of my tears

That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis

He'd get mad and he used to say

He'd go back and find her someday

That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite

Or slept for three days and nights

That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis

Third Rate Romance lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Sittin' at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant

She was satrin' at her coffee cup

He was tryin' to keep his courage up

By applyin' booze

Talk was small, if they talked at all

They both knew what they wanted

There was no need to talk about it

They were old enough to know about it

And keep it loose

She said, "You don't look like my type

But I guess you'll do"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

He said, "I'll even tell you that I love you

If you want me to"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

When they left the bar they got in his car

And they drove away

They drove to the family inn

She didn't even have to pretend

She didn't know what for

Then he went to the desk

And he made his request

While she waited outside

Then he came back with the key

And she said, "Give it to me,

I'll unlock the door"

She kept saying, "I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you?"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

He said, "Yes I have,

But only a time or two"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

I Look For Love lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Why did she wear that dress tonight?

Why did she bring that stranger

She looks put out in party lights

Which leaves us all in danger

When she drops her perfumed hanky

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

I hate the way they carry on

These fashion consultations

Do all the wires we sing along

Require such insulation

Fused with fear or charged with anger

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

No innocence I can claim

No treasure of stolen hearts

In the mirror I look the same

A toy soldiers with missing parts

She's adding up those second looks

While he collects advances

Like thumbing through those dirty books

They estimate their chances

When the parking lot is empty

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

Somewhere In The Stars lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Halfway 'round the planet

And the telephone won't do

I'm starin' up at midnight

But lookin' just for you

If you're aching in the starlight

And looking for me too

Then, gazing at the same sight

Might I not see you?

We'll rendezvous on Venus

And dance on Saturn's rings

We'll drink a little moonlight

And ride the old man's wings

I do believe you love me

I wish with all my might

Somewhere in the stars

I'll be meeting you tonight

With feet on terra firma

And heart in Milky Way

We'll ask the the old timekeeper

To look the other way

We'll rendezvous on Venus

Dance on Saturn's wings

We'll drink a little moonlight

And ride the old man's wings

I do believe you love me

I wish with all my might

Somewhere in the stars

I'll be meeting you tonight

Seven Year Ache lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You act like you were just born tonight

Face down in a memory but feeling all right

So who does your past belong to today

Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way

Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy

But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies

You look so careless when they're shooting that bull

Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"

The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing

You're still uptown on your downhill swing

Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around

Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not

Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot

Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone

'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home

Just tell 'em your trying to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"

The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"

The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

Blue Moon With Heartache lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Blue moon out my window, guess this means goodnight

And you come in and start right in not treating me right

Misery is a ball and all its company

I'll play the victim for you honey, but not for free

I run into that heartache just like a wall

And act like nothing happened to me, nothing at all

Lately I'm amazed at how blind we can be

Lately even dreaming feels like old reality

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again

What would I give to bring back those old times

What did I say to make your cold heart bleed this way

Maybe I'll just go away today

And I don't care who's waiting at my front door

You know that life don't hold no glamour anymore

Oh, how can it all look so right and feel so wrong

I'll play the victim for you honey, but not for long

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again

What would I give to bring back those old times

What did I say to make your past turn out this way

Maybe I'll just go away today

Maybe I'll just go away

Maybe I'll just go away

Maybe I'll just go away to stay

Maybe I'll just go away

Maybe I'll just go away

Maybe I'll just go away

What Kinda Girl? lyrics - Rosanne Cash

What kinda girl am I really am?

I love some turkey but I don't eat lamb

No sweet potato but I do like ham

What kinda girl am I really am?

What kinda girl am I really I?

I kept my jacket but I lost my tie

I'll tell ya truly that I sometimes lie

What kinda girl am I really I?

What kinda girl am I really who?

Don't wear pajamas and I don't sniff glue

I'm Mississippi, got the New York blues

What kinda girl am I really who?

What kinda girl am I really what?

I might be leavin' but the door ain't shut

I'm here for lovin' but I ain't no slut

What kinda girl am I really what?

What kinda girl am I really am?

I love some turkey but I don't eat lamb

No sweet potato but I do like ham

What kinda girl am I?

Am I really am?

Girl

You Don't Have Very Far To Go lyrics - Rosanne Cash

You always find a way, to hurt my pride

If I'm not cryin', you're not, satisfied

I don't know why you want to, hurt me so

If you're tryin' to break my heart,

You don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go before the heartaches, begin

I already feel the sadness, of a heartbreak, settin' in

You've turnin' down the flame of love, too low

If you're tryin' to break my heart,

You don't have very far to go

Turn around

You don't have very far to go before the heartaches begin

I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in

You can't love me and still love, to hurt me so

If you're tryin' to break my heart

You don't have very far to go

My Baby Thinks He's A Train lyrics - Rosanne Cash

It's three a.m. in the morning

The train whistle is blowin'

It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul, in my soul

My baby split blank and he won't be back no more

My baby thinks he's a train

He makes his whistle stop, then he's gone again

Sometimes it's hard on a poor girl's brain, a poor girl's brain

I'm tellin' you, boys, my baby thinks he's a train.

Locomotion's the way he moves.

He drags me 'round just like an old caboose

I'm tellin' you, girls, that man's insane

My baby thinks he's a train

Choo, choo rages on, train sound

It's the noise that you hear when my baby hits town

With his long hair flyin', man, he's hard to take

What you s'posed to do when your baby thinks he's a train?

He eats money like a train eats coal

He burns it up and leaves you in the smoke

If you wanna catch a ride, you wait till he unwinds

He's just like a train, he always gives some tramp a ride

Locomotion's the way he moves

He drags me 'round just like an old caboose

I'm tellin' you, girls, that man's insane

My baby thinks he's a train
