Wish You Knew I heard your name in conversation Seemed fine as usual and busy too Been quite awhile since I remembered Wish you knew how much I still love you I climbed a tree up on the river bluff Took me half the day just to find it It’s got the prettiest view And a seat for two Wish you knew how much I still love you It’s true you can loose your love in a thousand ways But you can’t keep your heart in some dusty box forever I’ll be blamed if it’ll make me blue But I just wish you knew how much I still love you Interlude Sometimes I almost hear us laughin’ But I don’t let it make me blue It almost seems a shame we’re happy Wish you knew how much I still love you Chorus by Doug and Dwight Newman © 1984, 2006 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP |
I Can't Lose Her Now She woke up fumblin’, lookin’ for another cover, she said her feet were cold I know I should get up, the pilot light’s out again But I lay here listenin’ to this December wind And all she knows is she sure could use me now When I was younger I used to dream, I used to wonder, tryin’ to picture this I never imagined this kind of aching cold I don’t know how it happened but we’re finally gettin’ old And all I know is I can't lose her now I hear her whisperin’ in her sleep---none of it making any sense Or is it my imagination? Maybe I almost feel asleep, maybe she never said a word Maybe there's no explanation The early morning city sounds, through our window, bring us back again The frost in the air was never quite like this And all I know is I won't lose her now All I know is I won't lose her now by Dwight Newman (c) 2007 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP |
Country Bumpkin Sittin' in the corn She and I Watchin' the geese Fly on by in the sky up above Together in love Oh she's my pumpkin And I'm her country bumpkin Walkin' below A blue harvest moon Down by the lake We heard a loon that was crooning a toon Above to the moon Oh yes she's my pumpkin And I'm her country bumpkin Will she still need me When I'm far away Should any doubts about her Care to come my way Walkin' along An old gravel road We found a toad And let it go in the road oh no The car squished the toad Oh but she's my pumpkin And I'm her country bumpkin Chorus by Doug Newman (c) 1986 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP |
The Rain Fell The rain fell all night long Just like a simple song That carries your blues away It fell without a sound Falling to the ground To wash the night away There were the chickens and the cows There were the flowers pulled from the ground There was the water in my house The cats had all gone as quite as a mouse Hmmm hmmm hmmmm The rain fell all night long Like a simple song That carries your blues away It fell without a sound Falling to the ground To wash the night away Chorus by Doug Newman © 1991 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP |
The Coyote and the Prairie Dog Now I'm a coyote livin' on the range Tryin' to do my best to keep from getting' mange One day when I was out wanderin' around I came upon a prairie dog town Down their holes they scurried away As I came up to them all I could say was Awooo the prairie dog's my brother Awooo the prairie dog's my brother 'Cause I'm a vegetarian coyote I proposed that we could find a mutual accord Whereby their trust in me they would and could afford To spite the wicked hawk on wing that swoops out of the sky And no more run from shadows of clouds floating by For this all manner of bug and root and berry They bring me in a den in which we would be merry Awoo the prairie dog's my brother Awoo the prairie dog's my brother 'Cause I'm a vegetarian coyote….

A Country Boy and Girl On the farm as a boy I'd run through fields and dream of her and dream of her and dream of her A sixty-four Chevy Car we'd cruise along and dream of her and dream of her and dream of her A country boy filled with country dreams A country girl gave them all to me A baby's born and before long she runs through fields we dream with her and dream with her and dream with her Interlude An eighty-four Chevy Car He comes to call we dream with her And dream with her And dream with her A country boy filled with country dreams A country girl gave them all to me by Doug Newman © 1984 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP |
