"She Never Spoke Spanish To Me" lyrics
"She Never Spoke Spanish To Me"
I met her in ol' Mexico
She was livin' sad and young
A smokey room where no one could see
Her favorite poets all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
She was born in Monterrey
All the Christmas songs were sung
The padres knew what she would grow up to be
Saints and sinners all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
Like a lamb screamin' in the jungle low
She'd never fooled with things she couldn't see
She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow
But she never spoke Spanish to me
She said "If you're from Texas, son
Where's your boots and where's your gun"?
Well, I got guns that no one can see
Well, after that we both agreed
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
Well, she never spoke Spanish to me
(Great)

Lyle Lovett - "If I Needed You" If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
And ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
For to ease your pain
In the night forlorn
Ah, the morning's born...
John Prine - "I Remember Everything" I've been down this road before
I remember every tree
Every single blade of grass
Holds a special place for me
And I remember every town
And every hotel room
And every song I ever sang
On a guitar...
Rodney Crowell - "Stars On The Water" Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars...
