My Roots Are Showing
"Silver Tounge and Gold Plated Lies"
I can still hear your footsteps in the
hallway.
I still hear your voice behind the door.
Hear the crying of my heart as it beats
at a time.
As it Waits for the one it will never
see no more.
(Chorus)
(Why why why did you leave me
I can't keep the tears out of my eyes
Why Why did you decieve me in love
With your silver tounge and gold plated
lies.)
I remember the first time I saw you.
Your clothes were black as mine.
When you talked me your talk, you made
me wish you could be mine.
But somehow I knew something was not
right.
(Chorus)
You know my friends, when they see me
they all wonder.
And I don't know to tell them when they
ask.
There ain't nothing to explain, you just
found another flame.
Our love is just a thing of the past.
(Chorus)
You had a silver tounge you had a gold
plated lie.
you had a silver tounge you had a gold
plated lie.
You had a silver tounge gold and plated
lies.
Silver tounge, gold plated lies.
"Sand Mountain Blues"
Raining on sand mountain, its raining
kinda slow.
When I leave sand mountain well I got no
place to go.
Lonesome feeling sand mountain blues.
I went to the gypsy woman to just hear
what she had to say.
She said that man don't love you and you
better be on your way.
Hes going to be sorry for breaking your
heart
Theres other boys around here,
I could probably learn to love another
one or two.
But its a small town baby and everywhere
I go I keep running into you.
Thers other boys around here,
I could probably learn to love another
one or two.
But its a small town baby and everywhere
I go I keep running into, running into
you.
Sand Mountain Blues.
And everywhere I go I keep running into
you.
You gonna be sorry for breaking my
heart.
Lonesome feeling Sand Mountain blues.
Sand Mountain Blues.
Sand Mountain Blues.
"Hold Watcha Got"
Hold watcha got I'm coming home
baby.
Hold watch got I don't mean maybe.
I've been thinking about you,
I'm on my way.
I'm gonna sell my house.
I'm gonna wreck the car.
Stay home honey right where you are.
Hold watcha got I'm coming home baby to
stay.
I changed my mind I have to see ya.
Its a purdy good sign that I need ya.
Thats why I can't wait to get home.
See yourself hold on tight.
I'll be there before daylight.
Hold watcha got I'm coming home baby to
stay.
(Chorus)
I'm back and I ain't leaving.
Been too long and a little too much
grieving.
Thats why I can't wait to come home.
We won't fuss we won't fight,
This time things are gonna work out
right.
Hold watcha got I'm coming home baby to
stay.
(Repeat chorus 2 times)
Gonna sell my house.
Gonna wreck my car.
Stay home honey if thats where you are.
Hold watcha got I'm coming home baby to

"Tear Time"
Tear time starts without warning
Sometimes nigh sometimes warning
All it takes is the smallest thought of
you
And then tear time
Starts crying all night though
(Tear) Its that time again
(Tear Time) Crying time again
(Starts) All the hurt begins
Without warning
(Some) Days my eyes stay dry
(Sometimes) I forget but why
(Why it) Brings new tears to cry until
morning
All it takes is the smallest thought of
you
And then tear time
Starts crying all night though
"Cuba"
Not so far from here theres a lively
aptmosphere.
Everybodys going there this year
There a reason,
The seas were open last July,
Ever since the USA went dry,
Everybodys going there an I'm going
too.
I'm on my way to cuba, thats where I'm
going.
Cuba thats where I'll stay.
Cuba where wine is flowing.
And where those dark eyed stellas light
thier fellas penatella.
Cuba where all is happy.
Cuba where all is gaye.
Why don't you plan a wonderful trip to
Havana hop on a ship,
And I'll see ya in C-U-B-A.
Why don't you do your drinking light
Cuba,
Instead of hiding in the seller
Since prohibition tell me how have you
been a very frightened little feller?
Why don't you pour it from a bottle
instead of a tiny silver flask?
Drink you Scotch from a Gin where the
drys can't get in.
The finest bars and cigars that are only
made in.
Cuba where all is happy.
Cuba where all is gaye.
Why don't you plan a wonderful trip to
Havana hop on a ship.
And I'll see ya in C-U-B-A.
Everybody now
Cuba thats where i'm going
(Uanasdias senior and senioritas)
Cuba thats there I'll stay
(Como esta ustd)
Cuba where wine is flowing
(Oh Muchos Gracias)
And where those dark eyes stellas light
their fellas penatellas
(Ooo fellas)
I've never been a drinking lady
I've never smoked a penatella
But I'm a she who likes to be where all
is gaye
Why don't leave your cares and troubles
behind and tell em your next address is
where they stay up late drink blind to
the
blind but nevertheless and I plan to see
you in C-U-B-A.
Why don't you travel with us on a train
or
a bus to Miami where we can begin to
plan a wonderful trip on a plane or a
ship that'll take is from Florida to
Havana and I'll see you in C-U-B-A.
"My Baby Came Back"
My baby got tired of a new love.
My baby came back to a true love.
Now by heart is beating with ease.
Now my kiss is able to please.
My baby is loving me better.
My baby is sweeter than ever.
No more sleepless night alone.
I'm so glad my sweetheart, my baby came
back.
Some lose their love and they never love
again.
I'm tasting love that I thought I'd
never win.
My heart was waiting to take the wrong
track.
I'm glad that I waited my baby came
back.
My baby
My baby
Some lose their love and they never love
again.
I'm tasting love that I thought I'd
never win.
My heart was waiting to take the wrong
track.
I'm glad that I waited my baby came
back.
My baby is loving me better.
My baby is sweeter than ever.
No more sleepless night alone.
I'm so glad I waited cause baby came
back.
My baby
My baby
My baby
My baby
"Pathway of Teardrops"
A pathway of teardrops will show you the
way,
If you ever want to come back to me.
I want you to know dear that I cried all
night and day.
Since you told me you'd never be free.
I loved you so but I let you go.
Now I'm sending a message to you.
A pathway of teardrops will show you the
way,
If you ever want to come back to me
I loved you so but I let you go.
Now I'm sending a message to you.
A pathway of teardrops will show you the
way,
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever want to come back
If you ever come back baby to me
"Miss the Mississippi and You"
I'm growing tired of the big cities
lights.
I'm tired if the glammour tired of the
sites.
In all my dreams I am home once more.
Back to my home on the old river shore.
I'm sad and weary everywhere I go.
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I
roam.
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Roaming the wide world over.
Seems I'm always alone and blue.
Nothing seems to cheer me underneath
Heavens door.
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Yo di o ledi
Mississippi and you
Memories are bringing happy days of
yours.
Miss the Mississippi and you dear.
Mockingbirds are sing all around the
cabin door.
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Roaming the wide world over.
Seems I'm always alone and blue.
Nothing seems to cheer me underneath
Heavens door.
Miss the Mississippi and you.
Yo di o ledi
Mississippi and you
"A Heart Needs A Home"
I know the way that I feel about you.
I'm never gonna run away.
I'm never gonna run away.
I never knew the way that I lived
without you.
I'm never gonna run away.
I'm never gonna run away.
I came to you when no one could hear me.
I'm sick and weary of being alone.
Empty streets and hungry faces.
The world's no place when you're on your
own.
A heart needs a home.
Some people say that I should forget
you.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
A better life, they say, if I'd never
met you.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers.
Indian givers, hearts of stone.
Paper ships and painted faces.
The world's no place when you're on your
own.
A heart needs a home
They I should forget you.
They say I should have met you.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
I'm never gonna be a fool.
Never gonna be a fool.
Never gonna be a fool.
"Down In the Valley"
You know I'm down in the valley,
In the valley so low.
Gonna hang my head over,
Just to hear the wind blow.
Hear the wind blowing.
Hear the wind blow.
Hang you head over.
Just hear the wind blow.
You know the roses love sunshine.
The purdy violets love the dew.
The angels in Heaven.
They know I love you.
I'm gonna build me a tower,
Build it 40 feet high.
So could lean out the window,
Just to see you riding by.
I'm down in the valley,
The valley and I'm feeling low.
I'm gonna hang my head over,
Just to hear the wind blow.
{KT Jokes around with the band for 2
minutes.}
I'm down in the valley,
In the vallley feeling low.
Gonna hang my head over,
Just to hear the wind blow.
