Album Lyrics: Old Yellow Moon [2013] Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Hanging Up My Heart Lyrics (Chorus) Well I'm hanging up my heart, in the lodge in the bunkhouse I don't wanna be wounded by the wrong kind of love No more rodeo dances, no more howling at the moonlight I'm gonna give 'em up, and I'm hanging up my heart. (Verse) Late in the night, been working every day to keep you satisfied It just ain't right to hear you say to me, you would let love fly (Chorus) Well I'm hanging up my heart, in the lodge in the bunkhouse I don't wanna be wounded by the wrong kind of love No more rodeo dances, no more howling at the moonlight I'm gonna give 'em up, and I'm hanging up my heart. (Verse) If I were you, I'd try to understand and see my point of view If I were you, I'd never be the one who treats me like you do (Verse) If I were you, I'd never have said goodbye, tore my world apart If I were you, I'd never have played the game, you fooled me from the start (Chorus) Well I'm hanging up my heart, in the lodge in the bunkhouse I don't wanna be wounded by the wrong kind of love No more rodeo dances, no more howling at the moonlight I'm gonna give 'em up, and I'm hanging up my heart Yes, I'm gonna give 'em up, and I'm hanging up my heart. -------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Invitation to the Blues Lyrics (Verse) I couldn’t sleep last night, just walk the floor Don’t know how I’ll stand this anymore Lonely all the time since I lost you Received your invitation to the blues (Verse) I don’t know why you cause me such pain I just hope I’ll never go through this much again (Chorus) Thanks for sending something I can’t use I received your invitation to the blues (Verse) You took the laughter from this world of mine Thanks to you the sun will never shine Walked the floor so much, where are my shoes? Received your invitation to the blues (Verse) I don’t know why you cause me such pain Lonely me, I don’t know what to do I received your invitation to the blues (Chorus) Thanks for sending something I can’t use I received your invitation to the blues -------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Spanish Dancer Lyrics (Verse) Oh mama, there’s the Spanish dancer Who steps up, follow and he comes near The red dress of temptation over a long black slip of fear Will I fall beneath the shadow of some broken cross? My arm empty then all my treasures lost (Chorus) Still like that Spanish dancer I Throw my roses down for him Across these beds of darkness he Opens his arms and gathers in him (Verse) Oh mama, the bridges where burning Over a river of black and cold But I walked when love commanded me Up to the edges of his soul (Bridge) But I’m still frightened of that dirty light Will I gain entrance or be denied? (Chorus) Still like that Spanish dancer I Throw my roses down for him Across these beds of darkness he Opens his arms and gathers in him (Verse) Oh mama when you were younger Did you ever love a man so much? As if he was some fantastic jewel You should never be worried (Bridge) But all those illusions dipping full And he’s just a man after all (Chorus) Still like that Spanish dancer I Throw my roses down for him Across these beds of darkness he Opens his arms and gathers in him Just like that Spanish dancer I… Just like that Spanish dancer I… Just like that Spanish dancer I… Throw my roses down for him -------------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Open Season on My Heart Lyrics Yes to the corners yet to turn Yes to the bridges yet to burn Yes to halting blown apart It’s open season on my heart Days go by like flying bricks Leave gaping holes too deep to fix I’d just stay home if I were smart It’s open season on my heart I can’t believe anyone but me For this restless fool I’ve come to be My tired excuses just don’t fit It don’t look good from where I sit I tried to change without much luck I reach a point where I get stuck I hit the streets and the fireworks start It’s open season on my heart I can’t be something that I’m not I can’t give you what I haven’t got I don’t know where a while away I only know the shape of you Here’s to the clown down in the mouth Here’s to the whole thing going south Just stay home if I were smart It’s open season on my heart I hit the streets and the fireworks start It’s open season on my heart ---------------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Chase the Feeling Lyrics (Verse) It takes one to know one Baby I know how you feel You got your hunger and some problems that are real And you’re dealing with some demons who are driving you insane And I’ve seen him drag you screaming down he hallways in your brain (Bridge) You got loaded again, Ain’t you handsome when you’re high? (Chorus) Nothing matters, Chase the feeling til you die (Verse) Let it right on in here baby, let it ruin your life Let it run your children off, let it run your wife Let it take the joy of love and turn it to despair You know you knew better baby, you just didn’t care (Bridge) You got loaded again, Ain’t you handsome when you’re high? (Chorus) Nothing matters, Chase the feeling til you die (Verse) Made it on the moon like baby think of number one Tangled up into and you were shinin like the sun With some pretty piece of hunger who was younger than her life On a scale of cosmic thunder, it’s a wonder you’re alive (Bridge) You got loaded again, Ain’t you handsome when you’re high? (Chorus x3) Nothing matters, Chase the feeling til you die ------------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Black Caffeine Lyrics (Verse) I like it black, just black as night It keeps me up, it keeps me tight It don’t matter the size of the cup Just as long as you fill it up (Chorus) With black caffeine Keeps me lean You can hear me scream Give me black caffeine (Verse) Oh I’ve got a monkey sittin on my back How wouldn’t you know he likes it black?

This was my greatest love My one and only love And this is me Back when we were beautiful See I don’t feel very different She said I know it’s strange I guess I’ve gotten used to These little aches and pains But I still love to dance You know we used to dance But night away Back when we were beautiful Beautiful, yes I hated when they said I’m aging gracefully I fight it every day I guess they never see I don’t like this at all What’s happening to me? But I really love my grandkids She said they’re sweet to hold They wouldn’t love their grandpa Those awful jokes he told You know sometimes for a life The two of us would let Like we were on Back when we were beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes But I guess you had to be there ------------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Here We Are Lyrics Did you say that you’ve been searching for A place you’ve never been? Well here it is Here it is And you’ve been down there on the bottom And looking out for a friend Here I am Here I am (Chorus) We’ve both grown tired Of running after rainbows Here we are Darling, here we are When it feels like you’ve been drifitin And you don’t know where you’ve been Come on in You can come on in And before you’ve seen the backdoors That lead you out of town Turn around You can turn around (Chorus) We’ve both grown tired Of running after rainbows Here we are Darling, here we are We’ve both grown tired Of running from each other Here we are Darling, here we are Here we are Here we are ----------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Bull Rider Lyrics First you’ve gotta wanna get a hold Bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place And you’d better trust in you lady love Pray to God she don’t give up on you right now Live fast, die young Bull rider One hand hold is all you got But you and the bull against the clock And of course, the crowd And once upon a spinning turn Nothing else you ever done can pull this weight Just outside the buckin shoe You lose a spur, you lose, you’ll see me lose yourself By now he’s buckin mean and dirty Slingin shit in cowboy boots and kickin clowns No fools, the fun Bull rider You gotta feel the way (just feel the way) You gotta watch his head (gotta watch his head) Embrace yourself for anything That will render you my friend You know the art of hanging this Hanging just as tight Well it’s something like a hurricane Dancing with a kite Well the rodeo this morning rode It’s a fact of life and it’s tough to cut in its favorite hats It’s drinking beer and pulling trails Idle may on barrel racers and of course a buck No ridin, no pain Bull rider Live fast, die young Bull rider --------------- Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Old Yellow Moon Lyrics We are Counting the stars Out in the night Round an old yellow moon With you Right by my side I got nothing to hide From an old yellow moon And now As I turn back the years So little I’ve learned About heartache and tears (Chorus) But still I’m making my way Into the heart Of an unknown highway We are Following stars Way cross the sky Round an old yellow moon (Chorus) But still I’m making my way Into the heart Of an unknown highway We are Counting the stars Out in the night Round an old yellow moon Out in the night Round an old yellow moon ---------
