9 To 5 lyrics - Alison Krauss
(originally by Dolly Parton)
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch, trying to come to life
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barley getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barley getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
But You Know I Love You lyrics - Alison Krauss & Union Station
When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm waking up
From another dream of you
When I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
How I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But it seems so cold
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keeping us apart
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
And if only I could find
My way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had yet not crossed my mind
And the answers could be found
In children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you
Mmmmm
But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
You know I made
My choice many years ago
And now this traveling life
It's the only life I know
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you...
Come And Go Blues lyrics - Alison Krauss
(originally by The Gregg Allman Band)
People say that you're no good
But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could
I seem to stay down on the ground
But baby, I'm too far gone to turn around
If only you would make up your mind
To take me where you go or leave me layin' behind
But Lord, you got those come and go blues, I swear you do
But Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you've got me feelin' like a fool
Just like a fool
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Don't ask me why I stay here, 'cause I don't know
Well, maybe I'm, I'm a fool to care
But without your sweet love, I would be nowhere
So here I stay, locked in your web
And until that day I might find someone else
'Cause I don't know just when that will be, yeah
I don't know, 'cause I can't say and I can't see
Sail on, darlin', sail on
You just go your way, and I'll go mine
It seems to me that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time
Darlin', sail on, babe, sail on
I just wish you good luck
And I'll see you when you come next time
You just got those come and go blues, you know you do
Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you've got me feelin' like a fool
Do This Life lyrics - High Valley & Alison Krauss
I had a dream the other night
That right was wrong and wrong was right
And nothing was the way it's meant to be
I couldn't find you anywhere
Yeah, I was lost, I said a prayer
Just hoping God would bring you back to me
Yeah, I saw it with my eyes closed, how?
That's a road I never wanna go down
'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you
Clocks don't tick and time unwinds
Songs don't sing and words don't rhyme
If you ain't there to hold, it won't make sense
I'd be a rambling on without a home
Looking for you everywhere I go
'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you
I know every breath I breathe, yeah
This heart, every beat is for you
Right now and all the time I need ya
Need ya
'Cause that world don't turn
That sun don't burn
No, nothing works
I'm lost without you
That band don't play
There ain't no way
Not one day, one night
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you
I can't do this life
I can't do this life without you
Sitting In The Window Of My Room lyrics - Alison Krauss
(from "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" soundtrack)
I sat in the window of my room
Watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do
Your going away
To leave me alone
In all of this sorrow
In this misery
So look now, my darling
I'll have to abandon
All thought of you
As your going away
I still see your dear little head
As it touched mine
Saying goodbye, forever goodbye
Those words you said to me have broken my heart
Yes, they've broken my heart
They were false and did lie
Goodbye, my dear
Goodbye forever
Your going away
Your going away
Death is hard
But your leaving is worse
Oh yes, my dear
Your leaving is worse
Your going, my dear
Your going forever
And leaving me all alone with this grief
So how, my dear
How will I forget you
When I see your face wherever I go
When I close my eyes
It's as though I see you
Your beautiful blue eyes, your beautiful lie
I sat in the window of my room
An' I watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do
Till The Rivers All Run Dry lyrics - Alison Krauss
(originally by Don Williams)
'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you
I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you 'cause I'll need you
'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you
Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way
'Til the rivers all run dry
'Til the sun falls from the sky
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you
'Til life on Earth is through
I'll be needing you
