I Can Hardly Tell Its Saturday Night

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

Here I sit drunk in the TV light

Seen it all before in black and white

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

 

Weekend used to be such a sweet delight

But I took a wrong turn

Got left, no right

I can hardly tell that it’s Saturday night

 

I can hardly tell

Ain’t been feeling well

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

I can hardly tell

Nothing left to sell

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

 

Somewhere there’s a party

Probably a fight

Clever innuendo

Vendetta and spite

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

 

 

Off of the main line

Clean out of sight

Way down along the Drag

Say it’s dynamite

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

 

I can hardly tell

Heaven or Hell

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

I can hardly tell, answer that bell

I can hardly tell it’s Saturday night

I Know How it Feels

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

One cup of coffee

An empty chair

The one that used to be sittin' there

Call my name and ease my care

I know how it feels to be lonely

 

A place to go

And a job to do

Fall apart when day is through

Happiness I wish I knew

I know how it feels to be lonely

I know how it feels to be lonely

I know how it feels to be blue

 

The whistle of a westbound train

In a night of falling rain

Some go on

And some remain

I know how it feels to be lonely

 

Angry words and a troubled mind

Hog my dreams and make be blind

The many wonders how they shine

I know how it feels to be lonely

Yes I know I know how it feels

To be lonely

I know how it feels to be blue

I know how it feels to be blue

If You Dig It You Can't Shake It

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

Heard a song on the radio

It hit me hard and I lost control

Started movin’ from side to side

Get up on your pony and ride


Snap your fingers, pop that thang

Snatch it back, do the boomerang

Everybody’s waiting in line

For an opportunity to lose their minds

Yeah yeah yeah

 

If you dig it, you can’t shake it

If you dig it, you can’t shake it

You can tell a lie, signify

You can try but you just can’t fake it

Yeah yeah yeah

If you dig it, you can’t shake it

If you dig it, you can’t shake it


Big house with a brand new Cadillac

Wind up in a shotgun shack

Neighbor neighbor come back in a while

Don’t change that station

Don’t tough that dial


Don’t ever let them change your mind

Or sit around waiting for a sign

It’s that thing you do each and every day

With no regrets come judgement day

Yeah yeah yeah

repeat chorus

I Think About Falling

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

I-I-I think about falling

You know that I do

But this ring on my finger

Keeps me from falling through

I-I-I think about falling

With every girl that’s new

But I’ve already fallen for you

 

Hanging on the high wire

Long way to the ground

Knees start to knock-knock-knocking

Never do look down

Look out temptation

Hear the sirens’ call

Better plan my destination

Before I start to fall

 

Headlights on the highway

Break down on the side

Overheated engine

Thumbing for a ride

Misty moon and shadow

Say goodbye you all

I’d better get to walking

Before I start to crawl

It's Hell to Outlive Your Heroes

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

I heard a song on the radio play

I sang it all through the day

Out on the street alone with my guitar

No matter what people might say

Every day I wake up I'm lucky

Something's still calling to me

Might be a dream that never comes true

But it sounds like a melody

 

chorus

Ones who taught me

Ones who brought me

Wide eyed to the big time show

Those bygone days I'll always remember

But it's hell to outlive your heroes

 

There's a blue moon shining at midnight

Old footprints that echo through town

Burned out bulbs on the movie marquee

By a dime store that's sure to shut down

And the music plays from a window

Sounds like sawdust and beer

A sad solitary dancer

Still wishes those cowboys were here

repeat chorus

Jungle Jaguar Pants

Look at that woman out there on the floor

Look at that woman out there on the floor

Way she sits it makes me holler for more

 

She got style that really flipped my wig

She got style that really flipped my wig

Another thing about her that I dig

 

She’s got jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

She’s got jungle jaguar pants

I don’t stand a chance

Jungle jaguar pants

 

She’s drinking whiskey

Me, I’m drinking beer

She’s drinking whiskey

Me, I’m drinking beer

I sure wish she’d bring it on over here

 

She’s got something

Everybody can see

She’s got something

Everybody can see

Bet she does have something

Better than me

 

She’s got jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

I don’t stand a chance

She’s got jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

Jungle jaguar pants

Katiebrd flying by my door

Haven’t I ever heard your song before

Morning green, morning green

Haven’t I ever heard your song before

Ahhh…

 

Katy Bird flying with the wind

Will I ever see your wings again

Morning green, morning green

Will I ever see your wings again

 

chorus

Ah Katiebrd have you heard

That I miss you

Close your eyes

Rock a bye

 

Katiebrd flying toward the sun

Did I tell you you’re the only one

Yellow light

So baby good night

Did I tell you you’re the only one

 

repeat chorus

Kiss You a Little Longer

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

I know that most people come and they go

But I don’t think that we’ll be that way

Steady and true are the fortunate few

Who look forward to every day

 

I’ve seen the hearts that are broken and left

On the streets that were one filled with dreams

No king and no crown as the teardrops come down

So much sadder than it ever seems

 

Chorus

I wanna kiss you a little longer

Hold you a little tighter

Ease the hurt in the world

When it comes our way

I wanna love you a little stronger

Hold you deep in the night

And try and give you a reason to stay

 

Well you know that I’ve got some friends

Who were once at the top

Of the “Mountain of Love” in that old song

But you know when I make the climb

I can tell you that I’m

Gonna make sure that you come along

 

chorus repeats

Leave This Town

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

Well the news hit me like a hammer

Blew off the top of my head

I went for a walk around the block

Wound up at your door instead

With a ballpoint pen and paper

To try and write it all down

But nothing I say makes much sense

I think I’m going to leave this town

 

I think I’m going to leave this town in a minute

Everything here, all the people in it

It’s a rat race

I’m never going to win it

I think I’m going to leave this town

 

yodel

 

Well the highway musta quit calling

‘Cuz I ain’t heard it in years

Angels wait by the side of the road

The Devil whispers in my ear

And he says he’s keeping my secret

But talk sure do get around

I got trouble down deep

I can’t sleep

I think I’m going to leave this town

 

I think I’m going to leave this town in a hurry

I’ll be all right, baby don’t you worry

Somewhere between Memphis and Missouri

I think I’m going to leave this town

 

yodel

 

These shoes that I’ve been wearing

Wearing for a long long while

They ain’t my size, ain’t my color

Sure as hell ain’t my style

Somehow I got to keep running

While others just stand around

You know you find what’s true

Down on the avenue

I think I’m going to leave this town

Light at the Top of the Stairs

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

I’ve been feeling real low

I’ve been hitting it hard

Playing my life like a deck of cards

And the dealer wins

And you can’t change chairs

But I see a light at the top of the stairs

 

I’ve been ready to crawl

I’ve been raring to fly

Coming out of my skin

And I don’t know why

I take one look

Somebody else glares

But I see a light at the top of the stairs

 

I see a light at the top of the stairs

Just beyond the blue

I wish I could believe somewhere

Up there every dream comes true

I’m going round and round with a bunch of squares

But I see a light at the top of the stairs

 

I’ve been hiding it awayeeeee

I’ve been shooting the breeze

Dotting all my Is

Crossing all my Ts

At night I don’t count sheeeeep

I count grizzly bears

But I see a light at the top of the stairs

Little Bit Too Much is Enough for Me

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

I like a whole mess of gravy on every piece of meat

Like a lickin’s worth of frosting on anything that’s sweet

I like cream in my coffee, sugar in my tea

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

I cop a pair of limousines every time I take a ride

Got a city fleet of taxis waitin’ on the side

I buy the boulevard itself when I go out on a spree

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

chorus

Just a little bit too much, just a little bit too much

Just a little bit too much – what I say now

Just a little bit too much, just a little bit too much

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

I got 30 pair of shoes tryin’ to get on my feet

100 tuxedos in the president’s suite

The sultan and his harem understand it, you see

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

I like a silk stocking woman with a mystery perfume

Or a barefoot country girl pigtails and a broom

Ms. College Professor with fine legs and a degree

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

repeat chorus

 

There ain’t a dues been had that I ain’t paid

Love perpetual motion is my stock in trade

I give the million dollar hollar

And I give it up for free

Just a little bit too much is just enough for me

 

repeat chorus

Love to Love

©Kent Rose Memory Train Publishing / BMI

Streetwise tough guys think they know it all

A change ain't going to do no one no good

Let's get on back to square number one

Treat each other like we should

Sweetheart, we start fighting when we hurt

And walking on a wound don't make it heal

We've got a lack of simple understanding

I'll tell you just how I feel

 

I want to talk

Heart to heart

And tell the truth

Don't act smart

I want to walk hand in hand

By your side and be your man

Want to see eye to eye

Straight ahead

Come on give it a try

Baby, what I'm thinking of

We can get love to love, love to love

Baby, what I'm thinking of

We can get love to love

 

Well I've heard it said time and time again

You can't go on living a lie

But secret disguises turn to sweet surprises

Reach out, touch this guy

Heat wave we save every bit of rain

Living like we do in thunderclouds

Why don't we just walk into the sunshine

I'll sing it to you right out loud

 

Well I've heard it said time and time again

I'll sing it to you right out loud

 

I want to talk, talk

Heart to heart

And tell the truth

Don't act smart

I want to walk hand in hand

By your side and be your man

Want to see eye to eye

Straight ahead

Baby, what I'm thinking of

We can get love to love, love to love

Baby, what I'm thinking of

We can get love to love, love to love

Baby, what I'm thinking of

We can get love to love
