Kenny Rogers Album

It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should
Oh how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

It's a heartache when love is gone
And it can get even worse if it keeps on
Blinder than he who won't see
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

I can't help it
If she is gone
You must try to forget
You must live on
It's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad
When it's not returned
Oh how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me
And I said it's a shame

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heroes in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory.

Here we are broken hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
We're fallin' out like we fell in.

Let's go out …

Let's don't lie and hurt each other
That would be our worst mistake
Once again let's act like lovers
One more time for old time's shake.

I don't need you.
I don't need friendship.
I don't need flowers in the Spring.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't want me.

I don't need love and affection.
I don't peace and harmony.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't need me.

CHORUS:
But we both want it bad enough.
Yes, we both want it. Don't we?
I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

I don't need your loving arms around me.
All I need is to be free.
That's what I keep telling myself.
And I tell you, you don't need me.

I don't need children in my old age.
No more cluttered leaves around the tree.
And I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

Repeat Chorus

And we don't need each other, baby.
We don't need each other, baby.

Baby, I've made up my mind
And take all the good life that I've found
I promise myself, if I was to make it
I had to do the best that I can
Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am.

I know problems will come
But I know I can make it with you by my side
And every day I was a little harder
To be a good stronger feeling man
Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am.

I tried chasing rainbow
But all I got was rainy day
And I tried to find a true love
Some harder love will sweep away
Now that I found you. Baby
I feel like a brand new man
Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am,
Is all that I am, is all that I am...

She at times still comes around
Though she's someone else's now
And I can't let down, no matter how I try.

If I leave her then I find
She's no farther than my mind
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye.

Night and day it's all the same
Pour some whiskey on my flame
And burn another memory in my mind.

Through the years she's moved up town
While I come a long way down
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye.

Yes, she always says hello
The way she used to
But Lord, she only said goodbye one time.

Heaven knows I live in hell
With a barroom for myself
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye.

Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye...

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the year, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... Through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... Through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... Through the years
I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... Through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you

So in love with you.

Girl, I've seen you lonesome every morning,
by my side you'd never be alone,
just tell me what it is your heart desire,
‘cos all I wanna do is take you home.

‘cos I'm so in love with you
yes, I'm so in love with you
yes, I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you.

Come on girl, I need you here beside me,
I'll show you love like you've never known
And I will tell the world how much I love you,
‘cos all I wanna do is take you home.

‘cos I'm so in love ...

see, is it only just a minute
your love I've got to win it
don't let me down
you know there's one thing about you,
I just can't live without you
don't let me down.

You're the one that keeps all together,
let me hold you in my arms all thro' the night
What I'm trying to say it's girl I love you
and loving you is the best part of my life.

'cos I'm so ...

Goin' back to alabama...
Now that I've learned a thing or two
Life for me had been so easy
But I've got some livin' yet to do

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
My friend...

Some days I didn't wanna wake up in the mornin'
My family and friends were all down on me
I tried to tell 'em where I was goin'
But they never saw the man I saw in me

Some folks call me a dreamer
Other folks laughed and called me a fool
All I ever wanted to be was a winner
'cause I know a winner can never lose

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road


Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
My friend...

Yes a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
(pick himself up)
And dust himself off
(dust himself off)
(and)
Start all over again

I'm a man
I'm a man
(I'm a man)

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again...

Without you in my life

Life's winding road is maybe lonely
We may never pass this way again
So let's be friends.

I know our problems come between us
But there's one thing you must understand
I wanna be your man.

‘Cos girl, I'm never gonna find that love
I'm never gonna find a dream
Without you in my life.

I love those times we were together
You know I'll always need you by my side
To be my guide.

Now all our cards are on the table
I should hope we play our aces well
But time will tell.

‘Cos girl, I'm never…

He was nine years old when his folks left home
On a wagon headin' west
And his mom and dad knew he'd grow up bad
By the mark of the devil on his chest

Seventeen he turned up mean
He had already made his bid
He had a name in the fast gun game
And they called him the "Devil Kid"

Now the kid's name grew and his gun did too
When an old ghost town appeared
Sittin' there in the marshall's chair
Was the one they called "Grey Beard"

"Kid, you better quit while the quittin's good
Cus there's always one that's bigger
There'll be one guy with a faster eye
Who's lightning on the trigger

Let me tell you, son, about a real fast gun
That every outlaw feared
He made his name in this killin' game
He's the one they call "Grey Beard"

He had a drawin' hand like no other man
It was faster than the eye
And there were always plenty of kids about twenty
Just couldn't wait to die

He was a fast gun
Lookin' to make a name
Quikin' was his virtue
Killin' was the game

So the kid said, "Tell me,
where is this man who never feared a gun?"
Grey Beard raised his head and said,
"Your looking at him, son."

So the kid tried staring Grey Beard down
With eyes like ace up dice
And Grey Beard's frown turned upside down
To a smile as cold as ice

So the Devil Kid reached for his gun
With a draw as fast as light
But he lost the game from a shot that came
From somewhere out of sight

And as the kid went down and he hit the ground
Thought he had lost his mind
He heard Grey Beard snicker
"I was even quicker before I went stone blind"

Fast gun
Lookin' to make a name
Quikin' was his virtue
He was killed at his game
