Lyrics From Cafe On The Corner


Cafe On The Corner
MPG3

At the cafe down on the corner
With a lost look on his face
There ain't no fields to plow
No reason to now
He's just a little out of place

They say crime do pay
But neither does farmin' these days
And the coffee is cold
And he's fifty years old
And he's got to learn to live some other way

At the cafe down on the corner
With a lost look on his face
There ain't no fields to plow
He's busin' tables now
He's just a little out of place

And the meek shall inherit the earth
And the bank shall repossess it
This job don't pay half what it's worth
But it's a thankful man that gets it

At the cafe down on the corner
With a lost look on his face
There ain't no fields to plow
He's wishin' for one now
He's just a little out of place

All these soldiers without wars
And hometown boys without a home
Farmers without fields
Dealers without deals
And they sit here drinking coffee all alone

At the cafe down on the corner
With a lost look on their face
There ain't no fields to plow
They're wishin' for one now
They're just a little out of place

Trouble On The Line
MPG3

Operator we must have a bad connection
If you got someone wantin' me
I changed my number when she changed her mind
Operator can't you see

Chorus
There's trouble on the line
Tears are gonna fall
It happens every time
She's up against the wall
Somebody broke her heart
Now she's after mine
The minute that she calls
There'll be trouble on the line

Operator now if we've been disconnected
How does she keep gettin' through
I won't have a choice
If I hear her voice
Operator can't you see

Chorus

The minute that she calls
There'll be trouble on the line

All These Years
MPG3

She likes adventure with security
And more then one man can provide
She planned adventure feeling sure that he
Would not be home till after five
He turned on the light and turned it off again
And said the one thing he could say

All these years
Where have I been
I've been down the road to work and home again
But I'm still here
And until I'm gone
Don't you rub it in too hard that I've been wrong
All these years

She said, "Your not the man you used to be"
He said, "Neither is this guy"
She said, "There's some things you refuse to see
But I guess sometimes so do I"
She made no excuse why she was lying there
She said the one thing she could say

All these years
What have I done
I've made your supper and your daughter and your son
Still I'm here
And still confused
But I can finally see how much I stand to lose
All these years

Still I'm here
And so confused
But I can finally see how much I stand to lose
All these years

Travelin' Shoes
MPG3

Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through
The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay are journey down

Chorus
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
The brakeman swings his lantern
Lit with never ending love
And mama I can't thank you near enough

Chorus repeats twice

We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

A Different Tune
MPG3

I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Your trail is hot man it's still smokin'
You're gone for good baby I ain't dumb
I knew that you were tired of hearin'
The same ole song I sung
You packed up your magazine
The one that tells you what to do
I'm not the kind of man you need
To make your dreams come true

Chorus
I need to find a faster car
To give you a little more room
I need a longer lariat
To lasso you the moon
I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Babe was I that ripe for the pickin'
You set your sights like a loaded gun
The bullet hit but it ain't stickin'
It's hard to shoot when your on the run
I'm the one you set your sights for
But not the one you're gonna keep
You go out running after midnight Walkin' in my sleep

Chorus

I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Man I could use a new guitar To play a different tune

Lesson In Love
MPG3

The more you think the less you know
'Cause every heart's got a mind of it's own
And love's a chance that we all take
Again and again make no mistake
it's another little lesson in love

Chorus
Your heart's on fire but it won't burn
Just blowin' until you learn
Answers the questions where love's concerned
Another little lesson in love
Another little lesson in love

Well talk's been cheap since the dawn of time
Ain't nobody bought those pickup lines
It's easier to invent the wheel
Than say the way we really feel
It's another little lesson in love

Chorus Repeats twice

Answers are questions where love's concerned
Another little lesson in love
Another little lesson in love
Just a little lesson in love

Chain Of Love
MPG3

Everyone should know a love like this
One you can't hold back, you can't resist
One that shows without a doubt
What life is all about

Chorus
You showed me the more love's given
The more love's found
It's a circle that just keeps goin' around
You gave somethin' to be a part of
You made me a link in the chain of love
You made me a link in the chain of love

I've been up against the wall a time or two
But I never thought that love would get me through
Now I know that love will abide
Because I'm standing on the other side

Chorus repeats twice

Homestead In My Heart
MPG3

Well it seems that we've been runnin' from are past
Life never gave us time to settle down
And you questioned whether frightened love can last
And that ole highway song is just not where it's at

The trees roll by and the white lines hold me back
From mobile to Denver there's something that they all lack
So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

Well I'm lookin' at you sleepin' across the seat
And the whine of the trucks are fillin' up my ears
All the highs and lows left somewhere in between
All those one night stands between Dallas and new Orleans

Well I can't offer much except the love
Of a guitar picker ain't nobody thinkin' of
So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

I Kept My Motor Runnin'
MPG3

(Duet With Donna Mc Elroy)

Well I'm parked outside of your daddy's house
And I'll be right here 'till you come out
Don't make me wait until the moon turns blue
So you can tell your mama and your daddy too
You got to go when supper's through
'Cause I got my motor runnin' baby just for you

Chorus
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you
I've been savin' up my lovin'
And I'll tell you true
I've been down some lonely highways
But I knew one day you'd come my way
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you

We can take a ride for heaven's sake
When the moon and the stars are congregate
But first I want to tell you what I want to do
When the other cars have all give out
And there engines cool and the fuel runs out
I'll keep my motor runnin' baby just for you

Chorus repeats twice

I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you

Sister's Got A New Tattoo
MPG3

We got a call collect from fort benning
Where she was goin' next she said was pending
Now she's all dressed up in her fatigues
She said we're about to join the major leagues
She packs a 45 in her high heel shoes
She said we're gonna teach them boys to sing the blues

Chorus
Little sister's got a new tattoo
Now mama don't know what to do
She up and joined the army reserve
'Cause her grades didn't make the curve
Now she's red, she's white, she's blue
From the middle east callin'
With uncle sam brawlin'
Little sister got a new tattoo

She said now mama don't you worry any
I'm gonna take you with me where ever they send me
I got a little trick tucked up my sleeve
It's a secret jus' 'tween you and me
She's got little heart with mama drawn on
Says can't nobody ever do her no harm

Chorus repeats twice

She gotta new tattoo
