1.Soon
作詞:Casey Kelly, Bob Regan
Looking back she thinks about that moment in the sand
And what was just a summer fling got so far out of hand
She knew that he was taken but she gave in anyway
She believed it when she heard him say
Soon I'll be free to be with you
Soon I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
I want you to be my wife and our dreams will all come true, soon
Christmas finds her all alone with no calls to rejoice
So she calls his caller phone just to hear his voice
She knows that it's useless, but she does it anyway
And she knows how to answer before she hears him say
Soon, I can't talk to you right now
Soon, you'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
Leave your number and your name, and I promise I'll call back,
soon
Someday slowly turns to never
Tears and champagne offer no solution
He'll say soon to her forever
So she makes her New Year's resolution
Soon she won't call him anymore
Soon, when he shows up at her door and ask her when
Can I be with you again it will be her turn to say, soon
2.Delta Dawn
作詞:Larry Collins, Alex Harvey
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say 'She's crazy'
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her delta dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
3.The Jamestown Ferry
作詞:Bobby Borchers, Mack Vickery
He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in
January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown
ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
I didn't think that he'd leave me after sayin' how much he needs
me
But the fact still remains, I'm sittin' here all alone
Missin' the lovin' of my baby, Lord, it's 'bout to drive me
crazy
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in
January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown
ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars
I remember how he'd hold me and comfort me with talk
He didn't cuss with every breath he had a soothing Southern
drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all
He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in
January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown
ferry
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in
January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
4.What's Your Momma's Name, Child
(Frazier Dallas/Earl Montgomery)
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name.
Thirty some odd years ago, a young man came to Memphis.
Asking 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his world.
People never too the time to mind the young man's questions,
Until one day they heard him ask a little green-eyed girl:
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans.
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson?
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?
Twenty some off years ago, a drunkard down in Memphis,
Lost a month of life in labour to the county jail.
Just because he asked a little green-eyed girl a question,
And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell.
A year and some odd days ago, an old man died in Memphis.
Just another wayward soul, the county'd had to pay.
Inside the old man's ragged coat, they found a faded letter.
It said: 'You have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green.'
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans.
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson?
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?
5.Blood Red And Going Down
作詞:Claude Putman Jr.
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
Daddy said, 'Now come girl
We're heading down the road to Augusta'
An thinking through his clenched teeth
He called mama's name, then he cursed her
He said, 'Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along
And stole your mother'
Ah, but you can't steal a willing mind
Whose mom is always looking for a lover
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
With dusty teardrops on his face
My daddy cried and big steps he was taking
And halfway running to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shaking
Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?
At times like these, a child with tears
Never knows exactly what to say
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
We searched in every bar room
And honky-tonk as well
And finally daddy found them
But Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell
He sent me out to wait
But scared, I looked back through the door
And daddy left them both
Soaking up the sawdust on the floor
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
6.Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)
作詞:David Allan Coe
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
If my needs were strong
Would you lay with me
Should my lips go dry
Would you wet them, dear
In the midnight hour
If my lips grow dry
Would you go away
To another land
Walk a thousand miles
Through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away
From my dying hand
If I give myself to you
Will you bathe with me
In the stream of life
When the moon is full
Will you bathe with me
Will you still love me
When I'm down and out
In my time of trials
Will you stand by me
Would you go away
To another land
Walk a thousand miles
Through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away
From my dying hand
If I give myself to you
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
Should my lips go dry
Would you wet them, dear
Will you bathe with me
In the stream of life
Will you still love me
When I'm down and out
7.Lizzie and the Rainman
作詞:Larry Henley, Kenny O'dell
You came riding in on the sunrise on a hot West Texas day
With a fancy man in a painted wagon with some fancy things to
say
Looks like you folks need some water, well water is my game
And for the small price of a 100 dollars I bet you I could make
it rain
Step back non-believers or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire burning, somebody beat the drum
He said some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are gonna see some
rain
They all just stood there staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper who said he was a lying
cheat
She said you call yourself the Rainman, well you ought to be
ashamed
Starting all these people dreaming, thinking you can make it
rain
Step back non-believers or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire burning, somebody beat the drum
He said some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are gonna see some
rain
Hey Lizzy, well a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me, I'll meet you in
between
Oh come with me Lizzy and the stars will write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you look yonder there comes
the rain
Step back non-believers or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire burning, somebody beat the drum
He said some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are gonna see some
rain
Oh step back non-believers or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning, somebody beat the drum
8.San Antonio Stroll
作詞:Peter Noah
When I was a child
Down in south Caroline
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down
My folk's and sister would go
And leave me home all alone
Goin' to that big square dance in town
Well my old radio
Would play that ol' Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair
And dream that I was right there
Just singing the whole night through
When my folks would come home
They'd be humming a song
Mamma'd smile and say, 'Child don't you know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl
Like the San Antonio stroll'
Well the day finally come
When my momma said, 'Hon'
It's 'bout time you came with us as well'
Well, I had me a time
Yes, I danced all night
Till they rang that old cracked midnight bell
Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll
I've been away for a while
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That ol' San Antonio stroll
Now I'll sing it to you
Just so well all can do
That ol' San Antonio stroll

11.Texas (When I Die)
作詞:Bobby Borchers, Ed Bruce, Patsy Bruce
When I die I may not go to Heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
Well, I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home
When I die I may not go to Heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone
When I die I may not go to Heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy

Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas

When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven, no

12.Pecos Promenade
作詞:Larry Collins, Thomas Lesslie Garrett, James Sanfor Pinkard
Jr.
If you've got a road map of Texas
You can see that it's a wide open state
From Amarillo down to Boulder
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place
They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas
Or disco down on Galveston Bay
But when God made those West Texas cowboys
He gave them the Pecos Promenade
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Big sign hangin' by the door
Sawdust on an old dance floor
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade
When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie
And the starlight falls on the state
That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos Promenade
Tonight's the first time I saw him
We can hear those twin fiddles play
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar Heaven
As we dance the Pecos Promenade
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade
That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos Promenade
13.One Love At A Time
作詞:Paul Davis, Paul Overstreet
It makes me weak and in a hurry
All night long I lay at a worry
I'm so afraid that I'm gonna talk in my sleep
Who do I love? Who am I usin'?
Which one is which can get so confusin'
I've got to choose one and set the other one free
One love at a time, it's all I can handle
Burning both ends of a candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart and one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart, I just need one love at a time
One's got a birthday, it's in December
Which one's in July? I can't remember
I get them mixed up, what am I gonna do?
It keeps me uptight, driving me crazy
They're both believin' they're both my baby
Sometimes I wonder who's been playin' the fool
One love at a time, it's all I can handle
Burning both ends of a candle can drive you insane
With one love in your heart and one love on your mind
Well it can tear a girl apart, I just need one love at a time
Yes, it can tear this girl apart, I just need one love at a time
14.I'll Come Back As Another Woman
作詞:Richard Carpenter, Kent Robbins
You never gave me back the love I gave to you
You just gave me half your heart and that half was untrue
So I'll leave you with a promise, from a heart that's heard
enough
Someday you'll find out that you can't escape my love
I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart
Some day you'll wake up with your arms around a dream
The love that she will make to you will be too good to believe
You'll say, 'I love you', and for once it will be true
You'll fall too fast to realize who you're talking to
You'll give your heart and soul, she'll be the only one
You'll be hers completely, there'll be no way you can run
Then with a smile she'll break your loving heart in two
Baby, you'll recall the one who said these words to you
I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
And I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart
You'll hear the echo of my promise, ha, ha, ha
How you laughed and how I cried
The one you finally give your heart to, ha, ha, ha
Will leave you crying in the night
I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
I'll be the one you burn for that you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one that breaks your devil heart
I'll come back, I'll come back as another woman
(Another woman)
You got a devil heart
(I'll come back another woman)
I'll come back another woman, woman, woman
I'll come back
15.Just Another Love
作詞:Paul L Davis
Another love, just another love
I don't wanna be just another love
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart
Then you've cast them aside
Oh, can't you see that I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just another love in your life?
Well, I hear you've got a reputation in town
For taking all the young girls
And breaking them down
You've given me an invitation to stay
But boy, you know my heart says
I oughta be running away
Well, I've never been embarrassed
So I guess it's my turn
I'm gonna see how strong I am
Another love, just another love
I don't wanna be just another love
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart
Then you've cast them aside
Oh, can't you see that I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just another love in your life?
Well, you've got some kind of magic
In your big brown eyes
Where'd you ever learn how to hypnotize?
Just like in old men's books that I've read
Drinking lemonade in the shade of my canopy bed
Well, I've never been hurt
So I'll see what it's worth
I'm gonna see how strong I am
Another love, just another love
I don't wanna be just another love
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart
Then you've cast them aside
Oh, can't you see that I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just another love in your life?
Well, I've never been hurt
So I'll see what it's worth
I'm gonna give your love a try
Another love, just another love
I don't wanna be just another love
On your list of hearts, you've torn apart
Then you've cast them aside
Oh, can't you see, I don't wanna be
Oh no, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just another love in your life
16.I Won't Take Less Than Your Love
作詞:Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz
'How much do I owe you?', said the husband to his wife
'For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
Say the word and it's yours'
And his wife said, 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the riches of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'
'How much do I owe you?', to the mother said the son
'For all that you have taught me in the days when I was young
Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
And a pillow for to rest your weary head'
And the mother said, 'I won't take less than your love, sweet
love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the comforts of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'
'How much do I owe you?', said the man to his Lord
'For giving me this day and every day that's gone before
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
Tell me Lord and I will pay the price'

No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'

17.If It Don't Come Easy
作詞:Dave Gibson, Craig Karp
I know a man, a good friend of mine
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right
But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing
If it don't come easy, you better let it go
'Cause when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah
I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy
I wish there was a way I could make her realize
That if it don't come easy, you better let it go
'Cause when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off
alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah
Let it go, though it's hard I know
Let it loose, I'll tell you, it's no use
If it don't come easy, you better let it go
'Cause when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off
alone
If it don't come easy, you better let it
You better let it, you better let it go
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah
'Cause when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
If it don't come easy, oh, you better let it go, yeah
'Cause when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow
18.Love Me Like You Used To
作詞:Paul Davis, Bobby Emmons
In a cozy little restaurant for lovers
It seems so out of place for you and me
We used to play around, under the covers
But now it's just a place to watch TV
So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And, darlin', when we're through
You can love me again
And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me
Baby, we could use a long vacation
But the trouble here is bound to tag along
We used to be each other's inspiration
When it only took my touch to turn you on
So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through
You can love me again
And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me
Well, we used to sit and talk about forever
But now we hardly ever talk at all
We walked a lot of tightropes together
We always caught each other when we'd fall
So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through
You can love me again
And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me
Love me like you used to
When you used to love me
19.Strong Enough To Bend
作詞:Beth Nielsen Chapman, Don Schlitz
There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason it's still standing
It was strong enough to bend
For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say, 'Hey, well, I might be wrong'
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone)
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
Yeah
When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say, 'Hey this job takes two'
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue)
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
20.Call On Me
(Gary Scruggs)
If your world comes crashing down;
If you need comfort but it can't be found;
If you're lonely, you can always call on me.
If nobody is listening to you,
I'll be the walls you tell your secrets to.
If you want me, night or day, just call on me.
I'm not asking for rings of gold,
Just one ring on my telephone.
I'm just wanting a chance to prove,
That my love is true;
If it connects with you,
Call on me.
There's no-one that I call mine,
I'm only held by the hands of time,
And it's a long wait, hoping you will call on me.
There's nothin' silent as a 'phone that won't ring.
Nothin' louder than your voice in my dreams,
It's a heartache knowing you don't call on me.
I'm not asking for rings of gold,
Just one ring on my telephone.
I'm just wanting a chance to prove,
That my love is true;
If it connects with you,
Call on me. (Call on me.)
Yeah, (Call on me.)
If you ever wanna get me on the line,
You got my number, it's this heart of mine.
I'm not asking for a ring of gold,
Just a love that won't turn cold.
Call on me.
Call me, yeah.
Call on Me.
Call me.
21.Daddy And Home
作詞:Elsie Mcwilliams, Jimmie Rodgers
I am dreaming, tonight, of an old southern town
And the best friend that I ever had
For I've grown so weary of roaming around
And I'm going home to my dad
Your hair has turned to silver and I know you're failing too
Daddy, dear, oh, daddy, I'm coming back to you
You made my childhood happy but still I longed to roam
I've had my way, but now I'll say, I long for you and for home
Dear daddy, you shared all my sorrows and joys
You tried hard to bring me up right
I know you'll still be one of the boys
I'm starting back home tonight
Your hair has turned to silver and I know you're failing too
Daddy, dear, oh, daddy, I'm coming back to you
You made my childhood happy but still I longed to roam
I've had my way, but now I'll say, I long for you and for home
I've had my way, but now I'll say
I long for you and for home
22.My Arms Stay Open All Night
作詞:Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz
I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know
When all the laughter's ended there's still somewhere you can go
My arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all
night
Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time
So if it's after midnight or just before the break of day
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late
'Cause my arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning
light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all
night
When all your so-called friends go home
You don't ever have to be alone
'Cause my arms stay open all night from sundown 'til the morning
light
Hopin' you can find where you belong, I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed, you're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight, my arms stay open all
night
My arms stay open all night
23.It Won't Be Me
(Tom Shapiro/Chris Waters)
Somebody oughta tell that girl,
She's livin' in a dreamers' world.
That boy is gone as gone can be.
But it won't be me,
No, it won't be me.
Somebody oughta set her straight,
She oughta give up the wait,
He'll never give up being free,
But it won't be me,
No, it won't be me.
To see her fall apart would be more than I could bear.
I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there.
Somebody oughta let her know,
She's gotta let him go,
It's time to face reality,
But it won't be me,
No, it won't be me.
To see her fall apart would be more than I could bear.
I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there.
Somebody oughta let her know,
She's gotta let him go,
It's time to face reality,
But it won't be me,
No, it won't be me.
Well it won't be me,
No, it won't be me.
24.If Your Heart Ain't Busy Tonight
作詞:Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well, I could keep it occupied for a long, long time
If your lips ain't got something pressing to do
If your arms aren't held up, well, their invited too
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine anytime
Well, it's kind of you to lend me an ear
Well, that's a start but I believe
If I could only get the rest of you over here
Well, all of you might fall in love with all of me
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
Anytime, oh yeah
If your feet are restless for somewhere to go
And your eyes want something more to see
Why don't you let them lead the rest of you to my door?
So all of you can fall in love with all of me
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well, maybe it would like to get with mine
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well, I could keep it occupied for a long, long time
Yes, I could
If your lips ain't got something pressing to do
If your arms aren't held up, well, they're invited too
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine anytime
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
25.Some Kind Of Trouble
作詞:Brent Maher, Don Potter, Mike Reid
Late one night I heard a knock on my door
No surprise, it was my landlord
He notified me I was late with the rent
What can you do when your last dollar spent?
Ya got trouble, some kind of trouble
I called up my baby for a little advice
'Cause my sugar baby always treats me so nice
I had a funny feeling that he wasn't alone
When I heard another voice whisper, 'Hang up the phone'
I got trouble, some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
I went to my boss, said, 'I need a little time
To work on this poor broken heart of mine'
He said, 'I'd like to help ya, I've been there before
But the problem is, girl, you don't work here no more'
Ya got trouble, some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
(I got trouble)
I was down around as low as a body can be
So I talked to my preacher about praying for me
He smiled and he said, 'Child, you're not alone
'Cause all God's children got to deal with their own kind of
trouble'
Some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
(Some kind of trouble)
Never any trouble for me to find
(Some kind of trouble)
Trouble, we got trouble
Some kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble
26.Down To My Last Teardrop
作詞:Paul Davis
They said your love life's in trouble in a magazine I read
When the one you love is hangin' off of his side of the bed
Baby, you just barely hangin' on
Honey, I know you'll soon be gone
And I don't need my palm read to know what lies ahead
I can see you in the arms of another girl instead
Baby, this ain't the first time you done it to me
Honey, it's gonna be the last time
And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh, but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time
I don't care a hoot or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby, this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you
Now I know where I'm goin' baby I know where I'm bound
I've been re-arranging chairs on a ship that's goin' down
Baby, just step aside if you will
Honey, it's really over for good
And you might want to talk to me, you might want to call
But you won't hear nothin' out of me at all
'Cause baby, I ain't got nothin' left to say
Honey, I'll just be on my way
And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh, but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time
I don't care a hoot or what you're doin'
Ain't gonna be no more boohooin'
Baby, this time I swear it's the truth
I ain't gonna cry no more for you
And I know you think that I'll be goin' out of my mind
Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh, but baby I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby, I'm down to my last teardrop
Baby, I'm down to my last teardrop this time
27.Everything That You Want
作詞:Jack Routh, Randy Sharp
In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
Now, you told me
I was everything you wanted me to be
Then summer was over
And the nights grew cold
Now, you got restless
And hard to hold
I tried to be
Everything you wanted me to be
Now you keep staring
At that open door
You got what you wanted
And you still want more
Well, look at me
I'm everything you wanted me to be
If I don't keep you satisfied
Now, you can't say that I haven't tried
And if I'm not what you want by now
For the life of me I can't see how
I'll ever be
Everything that you want me to be
In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
Remember me?
I was everything you wanted me to be
If I don't keep you satisfied
Now, you can't say that I haven't tried
And if I'm not what you want by now
For the life of me I can't see how
I'll ever be
Everything that you want me to be
I'll never be
Everything that you want me to be
Ever be everything, no
28.Trail Of Tears
作詞:Paul Kennerley
She'll always get you when your guard is down
Pick you up and then drag you round
And everybody knows you'll be found
Following a trail of tears
She keeps her heart all locked in chains
Never have a chance to love again
But you won't be the first my friend
You're following a trail of tears
A trail of teardrops always fall
'Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears
You'll tell her that you need her so
But she'll just laugh and then you'll know
That you've got a lifetime left to go
Following a trail of tears
A trail of teardrops always fall
'Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears, yeah
You're asking me how I can tell
But it's a story that I know well
'Cos I've been walked all over hell
Following a trail of tears
A trail of teardrops always fall
'Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through a trail of tears
A trail of teardrops always fall
'Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through a trail of tears
Crawling through a trail of tears
Crawling through a trail of tears
29.Bidding America Goodbye
Dear Mr. Johnson, we're sorry to inform you
Your request for a second loan has been refused
And the board of directors up in the city
Has instructed us to take the farm from you
We understand your problems
and wish that we could help you
But the fallin' price of wheat's not our concern
And the cost of operation may well be risin'
But the fact is that you lose more than you earn
This saturday mornin' there will be an auction
Underneath a cold gray country sky
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
And so Mr. Johnson let us say in conclusion
That we know your family's worked that land for years
If we can be of assistance during your transition
Please don't hesitate to call us here
This saturday mornin' there will be an auction
Underneath a cold gray country sky
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
They'll be bidding America goodbye, goodbye
30.Can't Run From Yourself
You can run for cover
You can run for help
You can run to your lover
But you
Can't ever run from yourself
No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go
You can run to Alaska
Run to L.A
Run home to mama
But you
Can't ever run from yourself
No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go
No matter how far you go
No matter how long you stay
You can run forever
But darling you will never
Never find true happiness that way
You can run for election
You can run for your life
Run for protection
But you
Can't ever run from yourself
No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go
Oh no
No matter how far you go
No matter how long you stay
You can run forever
But darling you will never
Never find true happiness that way
You can run for cover
You can run for help
You can run to your lover
But you
Can't ever run from yourself
No no no
Because there you are
No matter how far you go
There you are
No matter how far you go
31.Don't Let My Heart Be The Last To Know
作詞:Billy Burnette, Dennis Morgan
I see the future slipping by
I see it fading from my life
I see a distant look growing in your eyes
Are you telling me goodbye?
And are you coming back again
Is it over now, is this the end?
There's a feeling of lonesome in the wind
Tell me is it so
Don't let my heart be the last to know
I have a right to know the truth
After all that we've been through
Is there somebody else?
Have you found someone new
Is there just no more me and you?
And are you coming back again
Is it over now, is this the end?
There's a feeling of lonesome in the wind
Tell me is it so
Don't let my heart be the last to know
There's a feeling of lonesome in the wind
Tell me is it so
Don't let my heart be the last to know
32.I've Learned To Live
作詞:Dean Dillon, Frank Dycus
Like a child lost in the wilderness
I knew not where to go
Surrounded by the emptiness
Of a love that left me cold
I stumbled through that darkness
Of nights that have no stars
And days that have no sunshine
To warm my naked heart
Like a bird in flight brought down by stones
From an unknown assailant's sling
A stranger took you from my arms
And I lost everything, In days to come I nearly ran
Out of ways to stay alive
But through it all I never lost
The will to survive
(And)
I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you
Like a thief who takes just what he needs
And leaves the rest behind
You took the heart right out of me
And left me with my mind
And I've almost went out of it
At times believed I did
But gradually I learned you're someone
I'll have to live with
('Cause)
I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you
I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be
But I've learned to live
And you won't be the death of me, oh no
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well
But I'm not over you
33.What Do They Know
作詞:Donny Kees, Richard Ross
They say that life goes on
I'll find true love again
It's not the end of the world
One day my heart will mend
Someone will come along and a new love will grow
Thats what they say but what do they know
How could they know the pain I feel inside my heart
They never lost your love
So who do they think they are
They never held you, or had to let you go
Well, they're not trying to live without you
So what do they know
They say all is fair in love
But for me that's just not true
I feel like someone took a knife
And cut my life in two
It's better to have love and lost
Than to have never loved, I'm told
At least that's what they say
But what do they know
Well, they're not trying to live without you
So what do they know
34.Rainbow Rider
作詞:Charles Frank Black, Robert Warren Fischer, Austin Roberts
Out of the shoot he sits tall as the timber
One hand on the horse and one hand on the sky
Eight seconds later he lands in the money
And winning's a feeling that money can't buy
The kids love a hero and big silver buckles
The girls love the dream of a rodeo man
He loves the backroads and fields without fences
And I guess he loves me because I understand
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle, he's ready to ride
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
Winter in Tuscon and spring in Savanna
Reno in June then off to Cheyenne
He remembers the fall that he took last September
He's hopin' he draws that ol' burr again
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle, he's ready to ride
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rode girl by his side
Lately he's talking about having a son
Someone who'll learn from the things that he's done
A young bronc bustin' a-buckaroo
A trailer behind an old white Eldorado
A red western sunset and a blue mountain range
Some things in this life he'd like to do over
But livin' with him is something I'd never change
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
He's hitched up his saddle, he's ready to ride
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
He's a rain, rain, rainbow rider
A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
35.Half The Moon
作詞:Hugh Prestwood
Half the moon is shining tonight
And half the moon is pitch black
And I got half the chance that you might
Turn around and come back
Half my love has seen the light
And half my love is still blind
It keeps on thinking tomorrow
You'll change your mind
Half our hearts were doing just fine
And half our hearts were in doubt
And half the time while walking the line
I ended up steppin' out
Half my prayers were praying to God
And half my prayers were to you
Tonight it looks like
The answers are overdue
And I'm feeling just how hard
Half the moon can fool
I swear my heart might crack in two
If that moon were full
Half the moon is shining tonight
And half the moon's up and gone
You must have taken half of it's life
To find the road that you're on
Half my love has seen the truth
And half my love is still blind
It makes that missin' half the moon
Hard to find, oh
It makes that missin' half the moon
Hard to find
36.Danger Ahead
作詞:Paul Kennerley
I warned you baby, a long time ago
You got to stop all this, hurtin' me so
But, I don't think you heard a word I said
Well, I'm telling you now honey
That there's danger ahead
Treating me bad, telling me lies
That ain't cool, baby, that ain't wise
You've been running around, spending all of my bread
You better change your ways now
'Cause there's danger ahead
Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned
They should've told you that on the day you was born
Better watch your step now, be careful where you tread
I'm telling you this, baby
That there's danger ahead
Can't understand why you want to do me wrong
Straighten up, baby, or you'll find me gone
I gonna love you, that's sure enough
But if you're looking for trouble, well, I can get tough
I'm gonna quit all my cryin', dry all the tears that I shed
Yeah, I'm warning you, baby, that there's danger ahead
Well, I'm warning you, baby, that there's danger ahead
Oh, I'm warning you, baby, that there's danger ahead
37.Come On Honey
作詞:Paul Davis
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, well it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me, aha
Have you been hurt by some girl
Who came to take you for a ride
It seems when you woke up one mornin'
She was not there by your side
Well I'm not the kind who whispers into your ear
The words that you want to hear
Then she just disappears, whoa
Someday you'll see that I'm devoted to you, oh
I'll do what you want me to so
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me, aha
What is the problem?
I don't understand why we can't get along
Don't be afraid of the consequences
I won't do you wrong
I'm not the kind who whispers into your ear
The words that you want to hear
Then she just disappears, whoa
Someday you'll see that I'm devoted to you, oh
I'll do what you want me to so
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me
Come on honey, it don't matter no more
Let your lovin' shine down on me aha
38.I Love You Anyway
My cowboy rhythm with your uptown blues
Might sound a little out of tune
But I don't care I don't care
It don't matter to me, baby
I love you anyway
Your silk Armani with my wrangler jeans
Might make us look a little strange
But I don't care I don't care
It don't matter to me, baby
I love you anyway
Any fool can see the warning signs
The difference in your world and mine
But I don't care how fast or high you fly
I love you anyway
Any fool can see the warning signs
The difference in your world and mine
But I don't care how fast or high you fly
I love you anyway
Pigéon Forge or St. Tropez
We'll have one fine honeymoon either way
So I don't care no I don't care
It don't matter to me, baby
I love you anyway
wooh It don't matter to me, baby
I love you anyway
39.Let The Good Times Roll
作詞:Tony Martin, Reese Wilson
It opens up with the same old scene
You pushing me on that tire swing
Up so high I could almost touch the sky
The picture fades to you and me
Caught stealing a kiss behind the tree
It's so real it's like you never said goodbye
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old
video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times
roll
The road moves on and it always will
But I can make time stand still
I can turn it back and make things just the same
And though you're gone, you're still here
You're far away but always near, I can see your face
And hear you call my name , freeze frame
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old
video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times
roll
When it comes to an end, I can play it all again
You went away but the good old days are here to stay
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old
video
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times
roll
Now it's time to turn the lights down low and let the good times
roll
Let 'em roll
40.We Don't Have To Do This
作詞:Gary Burr, Victoria Shaw
If anyone had told me things would get this far
I'd have told them they were crazy, yet, here we are
Pride can be our enemy we both know the cost
So tell me if you're having second thoughts
We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost we can't find
Our way back home?
Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds?
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
Years should count for something
Tears can't be in vain
To let this go so easy would be a shame
We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost that we can't find
Our way back home?
Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds?
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
If leaving is the answer
Why does this feel so bad?
Should we really walk away
From everything we had?
Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds? No
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
41.Sneaky Moon
作詞:Bill Labounty
Radio sittin' on a window sill
I can hear the music comin' over the hill
How am I supposed to stay in bed
With a crazy little love song in my head
Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
June bug buzzin' on the front porch light
Heartbreak's waitin' for me outside
I swore, I wouldn't open that door
Here I am in those arms once more
Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
Safe and sound at home asleep
Is where I ought to be
Everywhere I go it just keeps
Creepin' up on me
Romeo waited for the sun to set
Before he serenaded Juliet
Eve met the devil on a Saturday night
But who tricked her into takin' that bite
Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
Ahh sneaky moon
42.Silence Is King
作詞:Gary S Burr, Jim Photoglo
She tests every word like a fine wine
She holds every thought like her last dime
You can hear a pin drop from miles away
You can hear a heart stop as plain as day
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Where are the dreams, we were after
Where is the joy and the laughter
Were they only habits we were doomed to lose
Or is destiny not ours to choose
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Desperate measures come from desperate times
I don't regret what I have done
If my actions made you speak your mind
Angry words are better than none
We live in a land where silence is king
Whispers have all disappeared
Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
Silence is king around here
43.A Blue Guitar
作詞:Dennis Linde
It's after midnight, you lie awake
Counting the hours till daybreak
What can you do now, where can you go
When you're about at the end of your rope?
You can drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that rundown bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry of a blue guitar
Drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that run down bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry of a blue guitar
It's where the lonely people go
When they just can't take no more
You'll see what heartache is all about
And you can cry till you're cried out
When you drive out to the edge of town
Where the world is cold and dark
Look for the flicker of a neon sign
In the shape of a broken heart
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that rundown bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry of a blue guitar
You'll hear music that will give you chills
Coming from that rundown bar
You can slow dance with the ghost of love
To the cry of a blue guitar
44.Come In Out Of the World
作詞:Billy Livsey, Jr., Donald Schlitz
Everybody talk a bit too fast today
Did everybody say, 'We need it now'?
Did they leave you wishing?
You could vanish in thin air
And when you found out you couldn't
Then you found your way here
Come in out of the world
Out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world
Where everything's judged in black and white
Let me take your coat and hat
And lay them on the shelf
And you can be yourself
Come in out of the world
Where everyone swears that they're your friend
Come in out of the world
Out where they use you again and again
Let me pour a glass or two
There's nowhere else to be
And there's no one here but me, come in
You don't need permission
To say what's on your mind
And I'm willing to listen
If you're willing to take the time
Come in out of the world
Out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world
Just let it go and hold me tight
If you look into my heart
Before the night is through
You'll see the place I've saved for you
Come in
Come in out of the world
Come in out of the world
Come in out of the world
Come in out of the world
45.I Bet She Knows
作詞:Billy Maddox, Paul Wayne Thorn
She wouldn't know me if she saw me
And you'd turn your head if you did
She'll never know how much you loved me
Or what kind of love we had
You threw away all our pictures
But the memories won't go away
She's asking questions that you don't have to answer
It's written all over your face
Yeah, it's written all over your face
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you can not hide
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
Late in the midnight hour
When you're doing what lovers do
There's still a desire deep down inside
That's just between me and you
Now don't you ever feel guilty
Giving just half of your heart
Holdin' on to your foolish pride
Is just keeping us apart
Yea, it's just keeping us apart
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
And I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you can not hide
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
In the cool of the night
When the howling wind calls my name
You can run to her arms
But it's not the same
It's just not the same, boy
I bet she knows
I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you can not hide
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you can not hide
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
46.Find Out What's Happenin'
作詞:Jerry D. Crutchfield
Baby, you know me well
You know I mean what I say
Before I say 'Farewell'
I'll give you just another day
You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I'm gone
Tell me what you're gonna do
You better make up your mind
It all depends on you
Or I'm leaving you far behind
You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I'm gone, I'm gone
Baby, you know it's true
We've been through thick and thin, boy
But if you don't come through
You won't ever see me again
You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find your lil' mama gone, mama gone
You'd better find out, find out what's happening
You'd better find out, find out what's happening
You'd better find out, find out what's happening
47.Between The Two Of Them
(Mickey Cates)
They married back in forty-two
They were young and love was new
And every day that feeling grew
Between the two of them
When work grew scarce and times got bad
The hope would chase away the sad
And hope was sometimes all they had
Between the two of them
The fifties came and the sixties went
A mortgage note replaced the rent
And they made the most of each day spent
Between the two of them
The children all turned out just fine
He retired in sixty-nine
Left with oh so little time
Between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain
And placed a rose between their names
Now that's the most that ever came
Between the two of them
Oh I miss them both so much
His crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasure of just growing up
Between the two of them
48.Nobody Dies From a Broken Heart
作詞:Sonny Lemaire, Randy Sharp
Nobody told me
It could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way
Now that you're gone
It's hurting me more
Than any pain I've ever had
I don't know how I can go on
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart
Everyone tells me
It's gonna take a little time
Before you find your heartaches slipping away
I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
And it doesn't help to hear them say
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart
There nothing anybody's gonna say
That'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anyone can do
To take away my love for you
I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
It doesn't help to hear them say
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you
49.I'll Take Today
作詞:Kent Robbins, Will Robinson
Yeah he's the one, the one I told you all about
And it was serious, but that was long ago
He just might walk over here
And give me a kiss for old times
But don't you worry dear
Old times next to you, can never compare
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
I'll take lying in your arms tonight
Over and above any love I've known
Memories may find me
But they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now
That I never loved him and he doesn't ever cross my mind
But that was yesterday
And baby, I don't wanna go back
Here is where I'm gonna stay
With you in each tomorrow of my life
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
I'll take lying in your arms tonight
Over and above any love I've known
Memories may find me
But they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
Memories may find me
But they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
50.The Love You Gave To Me
作詞:Delbert Mclinton, Gary Nicholson
I have walked through a world of temptation
I have witnessed the power of gold
I told myself, I would not surrender
To all the things that steal the soul
A restless heart is bound to wander
Never finding lasting peace
In the sea of life I went under
And all my hope abandoned me
They tried to tell me of a sweet salvation
And how glorious it can be
But I found nothing I could believe in
Like the love you gave to me
You rescued me and got the wheels turning
You always seem to know just what to do
The fire you started keeps right on burning
And nothing shakes my faith in you
And I've been told of a sweet salvation
And how glorious it can be
But I've found nothing I can believe in
Like the love you gave to me
Well, I've been told of a sweet salvation
And how glorious it could be
But I found nothing I can believe in
Like the love you gave to me
I found nothing I can believe in
Like the love you gave to me
51.Love Will
作詞:Byron Hill, Cyril Rawson
Well, money won't dry your tears
And words ain't always true
Flowers are nice to look at
But they won't satisfy you
But, honey, love will
Honey, love will
A whole lotta good things won't
But honey, love will
A candy won't give you sweet dreams
Letters can't hold you tight
Phone calls, they can't touch you
Or keep you warm at night
Honey, love will, ooh
Honey, love will
A whole lotta good things won't
But honey, love will
You may stop your heart from fallin'
All in self-defense
When all you need is somethin'
To build your confidence
Honey, love will
Honey, love will
A whole lotta good things won't
But, honey, love will
Tell me about it now
Credit cards won't forgive you
And fashions don't always fit
Wishin' won't sweep you off your feet
Not one little bit
But, honey, love will
Honey, love will
A whole lotta good things won't
But honey, love will
A whole lotta good things won't
Honey, love will
52.Little Things
作詞:Michael Dulaney, Steven Dale Jones
Love can't be measured with diamonds and gold
Before you spend your money I oughta let you know
If you wanna get to me, try the little things
Don't need that mansion on top of the hill
Too many rooms with nothing to fill
You can't furnish me with the little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
Hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day
Is to tell me you love me, little things
It doesn't matter what mood I'm in
I always melt when you begin
Whispering little things
Rub my back, make me laugh
Hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day
Is to tell me you love me
Oh, little things
Rainy walks, a midnight talk
Dance me on your feet
Hold me close, don't let go
All I'll ever need is a single rose
A kiss hello, that smile upon your face
The tender way, you say my name
Takes my breath away
Little things, oh yeah, aha
Love can't be measured with diamonds and gold
All I'll ever need, oh, is little things
Mmm, little things, little things
53.I Don't Believe That's How You Feel
作詞:Harlan Howard, Kostas
Aha
I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
I guess, I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the words I told you now
I don't believe that we're all through
I don't believe that it's all over
Let's forget who's right or wrong
And remember we belong together
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again and again
Aha
Take it to Mexico, boy
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
And I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again

I don't believe that you don't love me
(I don't believe that you don't love me)

I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the words I told you now
I guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the words I told you now
Aha
I can see Acapulco from here
Woo, yeah
Margaritas everybody, woo

作詞:Cathy Majeski, Stephony Smith
By the way, I really love you
Just in case you didn't know
And I know, baby, it's not easy
For you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love
By the way you smile
By the way you say nothin'

Everyday of my life

For you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love me
I can tell I'm the one by the way you love
I can tell
55.Love Thing
作詞:La Bounty Bill, Mc Clinton Delbert Ross
It's kind of gentle and easy
Something to do with the heart
A sweet song crying way down deep
You've got to play it, baby, no way to say it
It's a love thing, it's got no name
It's just a feeling inside
It's a full moon, a summer rain
And when I'm holding you tight

作詞:Amanda R. Hunt-taylor, Michael Gerald Lunn
She don't want for nothin'
'Cause he buys her everything
But the one thing he don't give her
Is the love that she needs
She cries on pillows made of lace
Dreamin' of some other place
She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again
She's got everything that a girl could want
But she needs more and she can't stop
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Looking out the window
There goes another falling star
And those diamonds on her fingers
Don't do nothing for her heart
She thought that there'd be so much more
Is this what she settled for?
She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again, oh yeah
She's got everything that a girl could want
But she needs more and she can't stop
Wishin' it all away

57.Complicated
作詞:Bill Labounty, Pat Mclaughlin
Throw up a quarter and I'll call it
A heads he loves me, tails he loves me not
I keep his picture in my wallet
I guess I miss him a little more than I thought
It's complicated, it's underrated
This is so much more than I anticipated
Well it's a heart related, it's complicated
Am I flyin'? Am I sinkin'?
Do it feel good or do it hurt?
I'd like to tell him what I'm thinkin'
But right now I just can't find them words
Well it's complicated, it's underrated
This is so much more than I anticipated
Well it's a heart related, it's complicated, alright

We're walking hand in hand on Sunday
Havin' it out on a Sunday night
We might be makin' up come Monday
Our love is never black and white
'Cause it's complicated, it's underrated
This is so much more than I anticipated

59.What Your Love Does For Me
作詞:Paul Austin Cunningham, Sunny Russ
I was givin' up on givin' love another try
But you were easy on the heart
And easy on the eye
Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it if I'd been told
I'd have my very own angel to hold
Like a warm blanket I can wrap around my soul
You're good lookin'
You're good luck
You make me feel like a million bucks
That's what your love does for me
Like a child, a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me
You took my outlook and you sure shook it up
With a little bit of sweetness
From your lovin' cup
What was once half empty is now half full
Now I'm an optimist, baby, dyed in the wool
Ever since you gave my lonely heart strings a pull
You're good lookin'
You're good luck
You make me feel like a million bucks
That's what your love does for me
Like a child, a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me
You set the mood
You set me free
Like a prisoner with my own jail key
That's what your love does for me
Like a new dime
Don't I shine
Feels like every day with you is spring time
That's what your love does for me
Feel like a child
I'm a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me
That's what your love does
That's what your love does for me
60.You Don't Do It
作詞:Alan Gordon Anderson, Troy Seals
I am thinkin' about something
Oh, yeah
Let's do it
Every now and then you feel
Like jumping off the deep end
Pack a few things head to New Orleans
Commit a few sins
With a good rockin' daddy
That can rock all night
Make you feel good
Make you feel alright
You don't do it, baby
But you think about it
You wanna spend your life, your love
And your money in the fast lane
Let the good times roll
Body and soul, ruin the family name
There's a Devil on your shoulder
And he's talkin' to you
I know what he's sayin'
'Cause I've been there too
You don't do it, baby
But you think about it
Well, we all got a list of the do's and don'ts
Save a little space for the will's and won'ts
Underline things like right and wrong
I could just go on and on and on
Yeah, you want to get crazy girl
And there's no doubt
That somebody's doing
What you're doing without
But you don't do it, baby
You just think about it
Hmm, don't you do it now
But think about it baby, oh
There's a devil on your shoulder
And he's talkin' to you
I know what he's sayin'
'Cause I've been there too
No, you don't do it, baby
But you think about it
No, no, no you don't do it, baby
But you think about it
I'm thinking about it right now
You don't do it
But you think about it
You don't do it
But you think about it
We can't do it
We can think about it
61.A Memory Like I'm Gonna Be
作詞:Jerry Laseter, Roger Murrah
I can hear you smilin' on the 'phone
Bet you thought that I'd be cryin'
Go on, tell yourself I done you wrong
But we both know you'd be lyin'
We don't have to have a reason
If your heart is set on leavin'
To remember on some rainy day
A little simple word or thought
Or a birthday card, I bought
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away
You never can be free
From a memory like I'm gonna be
That greener grass you think you see
Hah, is just a high-heeled illusion
Better count the cost of bein' free
Is it worth all that you're losin'?
It may be over, but it's not ending
'Cause there's one thing you're forgetting
An' you'll remember on some rainy day
The little things we used to do
Like that night in Baton Rouge
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away
You never can be free
From a memory like I'm gonna be
When it all comes back someday
You'll be surprised on some lonely night
When you close your eyes
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away
You never can be free
From a memory like I'm gonna be
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(From a memory)
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away
You never can be free
From a memory like I'm gonna be
62.What's Your Mama's Name
作詞:Dallas Frazier, Earl Montgomery
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
Thirty some odd years ago
A young man came to Memphis
Askin' 'bout a rose that used to blossom
In his world
People never took the time
To mind the young man's questions
Until one day they heard him ask
A little green eyed girl
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
Does she ever talk about
A place called New Orleans?
Has she ever mentioned
A man named Bueferd Wilson?
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
Twenty some odd years ago
A drunk went down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labor
To the county jail
Just because he asked
A little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickel's
Worth of candy if she'd tell
A year and some odd days ago
An old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward
So the county had to claim
Inside the old mans ragged coat
They found a faded letter
It said 'You have a daughter
And her eyes are Wilson green'
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
Does she ever talk about
A place called New Orleans?
Has she ever mentioned
A man named Bueferd Wilson?
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
What's your mama's name child?
What's your mama's name?
63.My Song
作詞:Joe Rainey
I wasn't lookin' for no one, I was just out tryin' to have some
fun
When, baby, you walked in my world that day
Then you looked right into my eyes
And a voice that could make the devil cry
You just sang my poor heart away
Friends may come and friends may go
But lovers either stay or break your heart, oh, you just fall
apart
I thought I could take it or leave it but I can't hardly believe
it
But nobody ever sang a song about me before
And I begged you, baby, as you walked out the door
Please don't play my song for somebody else
It's so beautiful, let me keep it for myself
Please don't change the chorus and put in another man's name
Please don't take my song away, oh baby
Please don't take my song away
Sittin' here in my lonely room with the radio on one afternoon
I heard a voice that made me shiver
Oh, no one could sing that way if they didn't mean just what
they say
And my tears fell like a river
Sang, 'Oh baby, I love you, I was such a fool not to stay
We may never see each other again
But I'll never take your song away, oh baby
I'll never take your song away, oh baby
I'll never take your song away'
64.What's Your Mama's Name, Child
作詞:Dallas Frazier, Earl Montgomery
What's your mama's name, child, what's your mama's name?
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking â€~bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
Till one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl

What's your mama's name, child, what's your mama's name?
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter

65.He Was Just Leaving
作詞:Walt Aldridge, Lisa Angelle
I know I told you no before
I wouldn't let you past my door
'Cause there was someone else inside
But I guess he found somebody new
And nothing I can say or do
Will put her out of his mind
And he, he was just leaving
You're just in time this time
And I sure could use a friend
I, I've got this feeling
He was just leaving
So come on in
Funny, you should come around tonight
Just when things aren't going right
Just when the door is open wide
And he, he was just leaving
You're just in time this time
And I sure could use a friend
I, I've got this feeling
He was just leaving
So come on in
66.Somebody Trying To Tell You Something
作詞:Joe Rainey, Jack Tempchin
You were movin' too fast to ever grow old
Must a took a wrong turn back down the road
Searchin' for truth where there just wasn't any
And the wine's not so sweet when you've had one too many
Somebody's knocking on your door is your day finally coming
Is it the hand of fate or maybe somebody tryin' to tell you
something
Looking out the window at the fading light
If you could do it all over where would you be tonight?
Shadows on the walls like her long dark hair
And you know you know better when you say you don't care
Somebody's knocking on your door is your day finally coming
Is it the hand of fate or maybe somebody tryin' to tell you
something
You tore it all apart now put it back together
It'd be easier if you could just live forever
You feel something coming that you don't understand
And you pray to the Lord it ain't out of your hands
Somebody's knocking on your door
Somebody's knocking on your door
Maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something
Maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something
67.Best Of My Love
作詞:Glenn Frey, Don Henley, J D Souther
Every night I'm lying in bed holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
They're coming apart and it seems
We tried to talk it over but the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and light at the places look at the way that we
live
Wastin' our time on cheap talkin' wine left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
Here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh, oh, sweet darling, get the best of my love
Oh, oh, sweet darling, get the best of my love
I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
Here was a quiet night and I would be all right if I could go on
sleepin'
Now in the morning I wake up and worry what's gonna happen today
And you see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it
slippin' away
You know we always have each other, baby, I guess it wasn't
enough
Oh, oh, but, oh, sweet darling, you get the best of my love
Oh, oh, sweet darling, every night and day you get the best of
my love
Oh, oh, sweet darling, oh, you get the best of my love
Here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
68.I'm In Love And He's In Dallas
作詞:Richard Leigh, Kent M. Robbins
Mamma said, 'Tell me what's wrong, child
You didn't even have to keep a better live
And you haven't said two words to me all evening'
She said, 'Girl, you got your long face on
Your eyes are red and your smile is gone'
So I broke down and then told my mamma the reason
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking 'bout my love
Or drifting away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?
I really should have heard from him by now
He promised he'd write when things settled down
And send me money for a ticket when things got better
Mamma, I guess he's just working hard
And you know how those cowboys are
Well it's been three weeks and I ain't got a letter
Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking 'bout my lovin'
Or drifting away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?
69.The River And The Wind
作詞:Jim Weatherly
I seemed to know right from the start
Where I was goin' and how far
Like the river as she flows
I just always seemed to know
But you were born beneath the restless moon
Your heart still sings a wanderin' tune
Like the wind cannot be bound, oh
Walls would only tie you down
For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end
I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind
I always flowed between the lines
You followed roads that had no signs
The river knows where she belongs, yeah
The wind, he never finds a home
For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end
I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind
For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end
I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind
70.Son Of a Preacher Man - (Lizzie & The Rain Man)
作詞:John Hurley, Ronnie Wilkins
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
Oh, when they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yeah, he was
Oh, being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can they get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was, yes he was
How well I remember, the look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time, tellin' me, he's all mine
Learnin' from each others knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh yeah, he was
The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Oh yeah, ah hah, oh yeah
71.Dream Lover
作詞:Bobby Darin
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
Hold in the lovin' arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want
(I want)
A girl
(A boy)
Just to call
(To call)
My own, I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you with the love, oh, so true?
And the hands that I can hold
Count the minutes as we grow old
'Cause I want
(I want)
Someday I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing I could do to make my lovin' dreams come
true
'Cause I want

Oh, my lovin' sweet dreams, dream lover
72.Love Knows We Tried
作詞:Rory Bourke, Jerry Chater, Jan Crutchfield
It's time to pack up all the dreams and walk away
No matter what our hearts might say
Now we know we're at the end of a love
So it's foolish to pretend, why try
We cried clinging to each other tenderly
We were the best that we could be
Through the sweet and gentle years
And now after all these tears we cried
Love knows we tried
Love knows we tried
We gave it all we had and more
Love knows we tried
We've got the memory and someday we may see
Goodbye doesn't mean we really didn't try
So you can hold your head up high
And as I walk away from you knowing well
We did all that we could do inside
Love knows we tried
Oh, love knows we tried
Love knows we tried
Love knows we tried
73.I Still Sing The Old Songs
作詞:David Allan Coe
Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again
Daddy wore his purple heart so proudly
Long before he turned into a man
Buried with our flag across his casket
I was still too young to understand
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again
Mama spent her last years in the garden
While brother took his turn behind a gun
Lord, I'd give my life to find the freedom lost
Within the old songs that you sung
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the South will rise again
74.Baptism Of Jesse Taylor
作詞:Dallas Frazier, Sanger D Shafer
Among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries and the rent
Among the local women there'll be a lot less cheatin'
'Cause Jesse won't be steppin' out again
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord
The scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the law will soon be well
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord
From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And tell them how much Jesse's took up with little Jim
Now Jimmy's got a daddy and Jesse's got a family
And Franklin County's got a lot more man
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried 'Hallelujah' when Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord
75.Teddy Bear Song
作詞:Earl Don, Nick Nixon
I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me say
Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made in my life
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you
76.As Long As There's A Heartbeat
作詞:David Powelson
There's a full moon up above tonight
But I don't know if it will always shine
And I can't say tomorrow it won't rain
One thing that I know will never change
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you
Through good and bad you stand right by my side
Through all the ups and downs we face in life
We'll grow old and silver haired someday
Youth may pass but love will still remain
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
I'll give all my love to you
Time goes by it can make you feel alone
The future's so uncertain
But there's one thing you should know
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive
And I'll give all my love to you, I'll give all my love to you

78.Walking Shoes
作詞:Paul Hardy Kennerley

79.Black Water Bayou
作詞:Matraca Berg, Ronnie Samoset
Growin' up on the Bayou
Can drive you outta your mind
Marie was just a youngin'
When she left the Black Water behind
It all happened one night
In the back of Jimmy's car
Jimmy said, ‽Marie you are so pretty
Well you oughta be a movie starâ€
So she packed up her backwood streams
Stole her mama's Maybelline
And took the train to New Orleans
And swore she was never gonna go, go
Back to the Black Water Bayou
Mama said, ‽Child, don't go back on your raisin'
There ain't no place in the city
For a pretty little backstreet Cajun
The long hot nights, will leave you cold
And there's a devil waitin'on
Every corner tryin' to buy your soulâ€
And with no where to go, and nothin' to eat
She got a job dancin' down on Bourbon Street
But the shoes she's wearin' on her feet
Don't dance like they danced with Jimmy Lebeaux
Back on the Black Water Bayou
In the heat of the night
It was the very last show
She walked onto the stage
With her heart and her head hung low
She started to cry, cry
As the curtain rolled
She found herself lookin'
In the Black Water eyes of Jimmy Lebeaux
Well he picked up her shattered dreams
Off that stage in New Orleans
And said, ‽Marie, don't you think it's time to go
Back to the Black Water Bayou?â€
Don't you know it's time to go
Back to the Black Water Bayou?
Growin' up on the Bayou
Can drive you outta your mind
Marie was just a youngin'
When she left the Black Water behind
It all happened one night
In the back of Jimmy's car
Jimmy said, ‽Marie you're so pretty
Well you oughta be a movie starâ€
Growin' up on the Bayou
Can drive you outta your mind
80.Oh What It Did To Me
作詞:Jerry D. Crutchfield
I saw you tonight
In her arms so tight
I watched as she held you tenderly
You say when she held you
It did nothing to you
But oh, what it did to me
You say when she kissed you
You didn't feel a thing
Well, I felt enough for all three
You want me to believe
It did nothing to you
But oh, what it did to me
And I felt the warm tears
Roll slowly down my face
As I watched another
Slowly take my place
And now it's all over
You want me to forget
And pretend that things are like they used to be
That it was just a kiss
That did nothing to you
But oh, what it did to me
You want me to believe
It did nothing to you
But oh, what it did to me, to me
81.(Without You) What Do I Do With Me
作詞:David Chamberlain, David Lewis, Royce Porter
What do I do now that I'm on my own?
What we did together beats anything I've done alone
Since the day that you left, I've been asking myself is this how
it's gonna be
Without you what do I do with me?
I don't wanna go out but I just can't stay home
I don't need company but I sure don't wanna be alone
And to tell myself that I'm doing well is only making believe
Without you what do I do with me?
Without you where do I go?
Where do I turn? I'd sure like to know
What do I do with all of our things
And how do I spend all this time on my hands
I've tried everything I've been racking my brain
It must be as bad as it seems
Without you, what do I do with me?
Without you, what do I do with me?
82.Winter Wonderland
作詞:Felix Bernard, Richard B Smith
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin'?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, 'Are you married? We'll say, no, man
But you can do the job when you're in town'
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Over the ground lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather
Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open we're walkin' and hopin'
Together, together, yeah
Together, together
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin'?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'?
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, yeah
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
83.My Cowboy's Getting Old
作詞:Mary Ann Duwe
Years ago he was the handsomest devil in town
Well, I know 'cause I've seen his pictures laying around
But he's gettin' old and can't ride them broncos no more
It makes me sad my old man just hit sixty-four
Years ago his home was the wild rodeos
But his scars are the only trophies that he's got to show
Now he's gettin' old his spurs are all rusty and brown
Oh, it makes me sad my old man is fast slowing down
He's my father, my friend and I love him
That was hard to say just a few years ago
Funny but I guess I have mellowed 'cause my cowboy's getting old
'Cause my cowboy's getting old
Years ago I was always there by his side
He'd saddle my pony and off in the sunset we'd ride
Now he's getting old and I have gone off on my own
It makes me sad how my old man's years have flown
He's my father, my friend and I love him
That was hard to say just a few years ago
Funny but I guess I have mellowed 'cause my cowboy's getting old
'Cause my cowboy's getting old, 'cause my cowboy's getting old
84.Tell Me About It
作詞:Bill Labounty, Pat Mclaughlin
They say that there's a hole
In the atmosphere
The things you think
Will last disappear
When you were ready to say I do
Somebody lowered the boom on you
And now you need a sympathetic ear
So baby, tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
You can't stand another lonely night
Well, come closer and
Tell me about it
Love isn't always true
It hurts sometimes
Your tears will tell on you girl
I'm not blind
I know what you're goin' through
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder, cry on mine
Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me all about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
You can't stand another lonely night
Well, come closer and
Tell me about it
You took a lesson in playin' a fool
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder, cry on mine
Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me all about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
You can't stand another lonely night
Well, come closer and
Tell me about it
Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me all about your broken heart
Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
85.Right About Now
作詞:Rick Bowles, Jeff Silbar
Right about now you'd be saying sweet nothings
And I'd be hanging on your every word
My lips would be wet with your kisses
And we'd be lost in our own little world
Right about now, I'd be feeling your heartbeat
And your fingers touching my skin
What I wouldn't give to be back in your arms somehow
Right about now
Right about now, you'd promise forever
And swear I hadn't felt nothing yet
Then you'd pull me a little bit closer
And I'd play just hard enough to get
Right about now, we'd be under the covers
Making love that knew no shame
What I wouldn't do to be with you somehow
Right about now
Baby
Now, the clock on the wall keeps ticking
But time's sure been passing slow
And it's myself that I've been kicking
For ever letting you go
But darling, you know where to find me
Should you have a change of heart
I sure could use a little of you no doubt
Right about now
I sure could use you, baby, right about now
Since you've been gone there's nothing, right about now
I sure do need your touching, right about now
Right about now
86.Song Man
作詞:A.l. 'doodle' Owens, D Frazier
On the sidewalks of Savannah
There's an old man ragged and blind
He don't beg an' he don't steal
And he don't fool with wine
With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands
A thousand songs in his mind
You can't keep your heart from lovin'
The song man when you hear him cry
'Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues'
'Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song'
'Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home'
All the old timers in Savannah
Have known him all of their lives
And they all say that he's done seen
A hundred years go by
With an old dog he calls Govenor John
He starts at the break of dawn
And he don't stop as long as someone
Wants to hear him sing a song
'Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues'
'Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song'
'Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home'
Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home
87.Teach Me The Words To Your Song
作詞:G Barnhill, R Bourke
I hope it's all that I'd found
This may be my last time around
I tried so long but it's always gone wrong
'Cause I don't know the words to your song
Teach me the words to your song
Teach me and I'll sing along
I don't care anymore if it's right or it's wrong
Just teach me the words to your song
I've been hurt time after time
I've laid my heart on the line
I want to stay while the feelin's so strong
So teach me the words to your song
Teach me the words to your song
Teach me and I'll sing along
I don't care anymore if it's right or it's wrong
Just teach me the words to your song
Just teach me the words to your song

He committed a crime
Back about a mile or two, oh yeah

When he pulled up outta no where
And just one lane over
He aimed those angel eyes at me
He smiled like we were meant to be
For he stole my heart
From a moving car

He grabbed my heart and took off on the run
It was highway robbery
He oughta do time in my arms for what he's done

By the way, what color are your eyes?
89.Love's the Answer
作詞:Emily A Mitchell, Norris D Wilson
If you think it's hard in this day and time
To hold your man like I been holding mine
There's no secret just some little things to do
It worked for me and it's bound to work for you
A loving smile will start his day out right
A goodbye kiss will bring him home at night
Reach out to him when he needs a helping hand
Touch him gently so, he knows you understand
Be proud of him when you know he's done his best
Let him know you think, he's better that the rest
If you wanna hold your man, this is the way
Love him more today than you did yesterday
Love's the answer, love's the answer
Be proud of him when you know he's done his best
Let him know you think, he's better that the rest
If you wanna hold your man, this is the way
Love him more today than you did yesterday
Love's the answer, love's the answer
Love's the answer, love's the answer
90.It Wont Be Me
作詞:Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters
Somebody oughta tell that girl
She's livin' in a dreamers' world
That boy is gone, as gone can be
But it won't be me
No, it won't be me
Somebody oughta set her straight
She oughta give up the wait
He'll never give up being free
But it won't be me
No, it won't be me
To see her fall apart
Would be more than I could bear
I'm just too close
To that girl in the mirror there
Somebody oughta let her know
She's gotta let him know
It's time to face reality
But it won't be me
No, it won't be me
To see her fall apart
Would be more than I could bear
I'm just too close
To that girl in the mirror there
Somebody oughta let her know
She's gotta let him know
It's time to face reality
But it won't be me
No, it won't be me
No, it won't be me
91.Missing Piece Of Puzzle
作詞:Leon Sherrill, Mark Sherrill
You're the sunshine
That warms my heart each day
You're the rainbow
When gray clouds roll away
You're the melody for the words
That my heart's been tryin' to think of
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
You're the paint on the canvas
Where an artist spilled his dream
You're something to believe
In an answer prayer for me
You're my guiding angel
Sent from heaven above
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to make my life complete
You're something to remember when I'm down
And need to get back on my feet
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
You're that missing piece of puzzle
That it takes to put together love
92.You Know Just What I'd Do
作詞:Jerry Foster, Bill Rice
If we lost all we had
Would I walk your rocky road or take a different path
Would I sell my pride for you
If you ask me to walk the streets
You know just what I'd do
Would your child have a home
If it should be born of love other than our own
Would I still stand by you
Knowing you've loved someone else
You know just what I'd do
If my love for you meant giving up my life
Would I lay it down for you
And if you were blind would I give you my sight
You know exactly what I'd do if you ask me to
Would I live with the scar that you carry in your heart
From another woman's war
Would I lend you wounds for you
If I knew you needed me
You know just what I'd do
93.If You Feel It
作詞:Jimmy Ford, Jerry Goldstein
If you could only see your way through
Your blue eyes into my heart
If you would only come inside my dreams
Maybe stay awhile, play around
I'll show you all the secrets of my mind
Do my best to please you all of the time
If you feel it you can have it
If you want it come and get it
You can do it we got a magic
I believe you won't regret it
I have tamed you for a lifetime
You have held me in my glory
I have seen you in my lifetime
Come and help me write the story
If you would only take a little more time
Then you'd see where I'm coming from
If you could only read between the lines
Baby, you'd know that I'm the only one
We go to places we've never been

94.Let Me Count The Ways
作詞:Claire D. Cloninger, Jerry D. Crutchfield
Here goes one more empty night
Lonely lady foolish pride
Do I need you deep inside?
Let me count the ways
Losing tracks of tears I've shed
Feeling empty as my bed
Could you give me love instead
Let me count the ways
Who could count the times
You're on my mind more and more
Who could count the waves
That reach out for the shore
Days and nights are all the same
One part lonely, two parts pain
Do I need you back again?
Let me count the ways
Who could count the times
You're on my mind more and more
Who could count the waves
That reach out for the shore
Days and nights are all the same
One part lonely, two parts pain
Do I need you back again?
Let me count the ways
Let me count the ways
95.Chokin' Kind
作詞:Harlan Howard
I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart and now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death boy it's the chokin' kind
You can kill a girl with bullets poison or a knife
But it hurts her more to take her pride and run her life
Whatever it is you want boy I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind
When you fall in love again now take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
96.Christmas To Christmas

Yuletide smiles are in demand
Time to love your fellow man, well, it's true
But the love we share is for all time

To melt the cold when winter flies anew
Christmas to Christmas, wrapped in your arms
Love is always in the season, and always so warm

I will spend Christmas to Christmas loving you
Yes, until my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas loving you
Oh, merry Christmas, baby

98.Makin' Love Don't Always Make Love Grow
作詞:Sterling Whipple
The first time that I said let's start our family
He said, 'Hon I've got the whole wide world to see
So come along and be this drifter's lady
The best next thing to love is bein' free'
And I said, 'Don't you feel the need to have some kids and
settle down?'
He said not while there's some places left to go, yeah
I'd like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
I said, 'Makin' love don't always make love grow oh didn't you
know'
Acapulco and the Mexicaly sunshine, Hawaii on a rooftop in the
rain
Out of Rio De Janeiro on a tramp liner and just outside of Paris
on a train
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
He said not while there's some places left to go
I'd like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin' town
I said, 'Makin' love don't always make love grow oh didn't you
know
And one day walkin' on the beach of Monterey'
A little girl came up and took me by the hand
And said, 'Mom is it okay if I go swimmin'?'
But when he saw her mistake he blushed and ran
He laughed and reached for me but I just stepped away
I fought away the tears and tried to smile
Suddenly I knew I'd wait for him no longer
Just as suddenly he changed his style
He said, 'Don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle
down?'
Someday everybody leads a home
Yes, I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
But makin' love is hard to do alone
I said, 'Don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle
down'
Babe, I'm gonna take it on my own
See I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
Why makin' love might even make love grow
Didn't you know didn't you know?
99.Spring
作詞:John Lewis Tipton
In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman in labor
She said, 'By the grace of God I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor'
At six o'clock the sun was rising
On upon the world at seven forty five
The neighbor smiled and said
'You've got a beautiful girl'
She named her Spring
Winter's been a long time passin'
She named her Spring
And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said
'Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you
In a broken down apartment house'
Lay a woman dying
And by her side a little six year old girl
Who was softly crying
Momma don't go away and leave me all alone
Momma said to the welfare lady
'Find my child a good home
I'll miss my Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
I'll miss you, Spring'
The angels carried her away
The welfare lady knelt to pray
Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you
In a beautiful church out side of town
Stands a woman smiling
On her hand is a wedding band
Of fashionable stylin'
All the years in the orphan's home
He shared with you
And now you hopes and childhood dreams
Have all come true, he loves his Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
He loves you, Spring, he promised you today
He'll never ever go away
Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you
A long, long time for you
100.Bidding America Goodbye (The Auction)
作詞:James O'hara
Dear Mr. Johnson, we're sorry to inform you
Your request for a second loan has been refused
And the board of directors up in the city
Has instructed us to take the farm from you
We understand your problems and wish that we could help you
But the fallin' price of wheat's not our concern
And the cost of operation may, well, be risin'
But the fact is that you lose more than you earn
This Saturday mornin' there will be an auction
Underneath a cold gray country sky
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
And so Mr. Johnson let us say in conclusion
That we know your family's worked that land for years
If we can be of assistance during your transition
Please don't hesitate to call us here
This Saturday mornin' there will be an auction
Underneath a cold gray country sky
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
They'll be bidding America goodbye, goodbye

作詞:Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz
'How much do I owe you?', said the husband to his wife
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
Say the word and it's yoursâ€
And his wife said, 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the riches of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'
'How much do I owe you?', to the mother said the son
For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
And a pillow for to rest your weary head'
And the mother said, 'I won't take less than your love, sweet
love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the comforts of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'
How much do I owe you?', said the man to his Lord
For giving me this day and every day that's gone before
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
Tell me Lord and I will pay the price'
And the Lord said, 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love'
'I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love
No, I won't take less than your love'
102.Old Dan Tucker's Daughter
作詞:B Killen, C Putman
Mama died havin' me and papa tried to raise me
And then he took to drinkin' when I was only three
I'd follow him and his guitar along the streets of Mobile
Where he'd sing for just a drink and a lollipop for me
Then at night he sat me on the bar while he did some singin'
I played with his old railroad watch when I was a dancin'
And I passed around his worn out hat, they're pitchin' down some
quarters
Oh how proud I was to be old Dan Tucker's daughter
Things seemed to go from bad to worse as I grew sadly older
And papa looked so down and out failin' more each day
And pride I always felt to him slowly turned to pity
And Lord you know it broke my heart each time I hear them say
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter
Papa died just today a cold gray Mobile mornin'
Now here I stand all alone cryin' on his grave
Not a single soul from Mobile came to wish him well his journey
But at least for papa's goin', no one there will say
Hey, get out away old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter
103.Changes
作詞:F Meyers, E Raven, T Tucker
Neither one of us will ever change
We're both the same and that's a shame
'Cause when we were together it was right
We had it all, you and I
You're not changin' me and I'm not changin' you
The only change is what we're goin' through
You took the part of me that I was proudest of
Now you're sayin' that's the part that you can't love
Changes, I'm gonna have to make some changes
Now that I know what your game is
I know that I would only lose, no matter what I do
And the first change that I'll make is gonna be you
If lovin' what you had ain't what you want
What do you need? You don't need me
You said I was the answer to your prayers
It don't seem fair, we both still care
Changes, I'm gonna have to make some changes
Now that I know what your game is
I know that I would only lose, no matter what I do
So the first change that I'll make is gonna be you
Oh, changes, I'm gonna have to make some changes
Now that I know what your game is
I know that I would only lose, oh, can't you see we're through?
(Changes)
Oh, somehow I'll get over you
(Changes)
Somehow, oh, changes, hard for a young girl to cope
(Changes)
104.Depend On You
作詞:Parker Mcgee
Broken glass lies on the bedroom floor
A broken dream lies in my head
I was counting on a big surprise
But I got a big surprise instead
I didn't know people could change
So fast I didn't see the game you played
Now the morning finds me somewhere
In the past hanging on the promises we made
I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
But I thought I could depend on you, yeah
Weatherman says it's gonna rain today
And yes, I believe, he's right
My face is feeling just a little bit wet
With a big storm coming through tonight
I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
But I thought I could depend on you, yeah
105.All The Way
作詞:Bob Morrison, Jim Zerface
I came close to fallin' a time or two before
But somethin' always told me to wait for somethin' more
Then you took me places my heart had never been
You brought me to the edge of love and now I'm fallin' in
I'm going down, down, down, spinning round, round, round
Falling deeper in love every day
I've tried so hard to take it slow but I'm losing control
This time I think I'm gonna fall all the way
I could feel the magic from the very start
There's no way to stop a feelin' when it's from the heart
Now I'm all but helpless when you hold me close
I'm not sure just where you're takin' me but I'm sure I want to
go
I'm going down, down, down
(Down, down, spinning round, round, round)
106.I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again
作詞:Bobby Braddock
Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at forty-four
Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor sharecropper shack
The Jackson's down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black
But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shack stood once before
I see sons and daughters and sharecroppers
But they're not pickin' cotton anymore
But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood
Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
107.Dancing the Night Away
作詞:James Brown, Todd Hunter, Russell Smith
Standin' beside the ocean
Lookin' across the water
Everything is beautiful here
But I still don't feel like I ought
Things we wanted
Not so long ago
Well, I've got 'em all now
But I ain't got you no more
But I remember, the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancing the night away
I remember everything
The way you wore your hair
The things your body told me
Will seem to float right through the air
I look so funny dancing
But you loved me any how
I wish, I could find somebody
To love me like that now
But I remember, the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancing the night away
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance
Oh baby, let me see you dance
Standin' beside the ocean
Throwing rocks out in the bay
I should look for companionship
But it just gets in my way
Lights are a glittering
All along the shore
People dancin' there
I don't dance there no more
'Cause I remember, the way you held me
And all the sweet thing you used to say
When we were two young lovers
Dancin' the night away
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance
Oh baby, let me see you dance
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance
Oh baby, let me see you dance
108.Ain't That A Shame
作詞:Dave Bartholomew, Antoine Domino
Well, you made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame, my tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame, yeah, you're the one to blame, oh
Well, you broke my heart when you said we'd apart
Ain't that a shame
Oh well, goodbye, although I cry
Ain't that a shame
You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame
Oh well, goodbye, although I cry
109.Wait 'Til Daddy Finds Out
作詞:Dave Loggins
Somebody's drinking his whiskey
Somebody's loving on his wife
Somebody ain't gonna live till tomorrow
If daddy gets home a little early tonight
Wait 'til daddy finds out
He ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight
Well, daddy's been a helluva father
And daddy's been working seven nights in a row
And daddy let mama get a little bit lonely
Sitting home waiting for her sugar to show
Wait 'til daddy finds out
Well, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, yeah
When he gets home tonight
Well, I think I hear a car coming up the drive
I'm gonna run, find me a safe place to hide
'Cause I know what's gonna hit that fan
Oh, mama you better take a look outside
One man walked in the bedroom
One man walked out of town
One man's life spared this evening
And one woman shopping for a new night gown
Wait 'til daddy finds out
Well he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight
Now I think I hear a car coming up the drive
I'm gonna run and find me a safe place to hide
'Cause I know what's gonna hit that fan
Oh, mama you better take a look outside
Wait 'til daddy finds out
No, no, no, no, no, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, yeah
When he gets home tonight
Wait 'til daddy finds out
No, no, no, no, no, no, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight
110.I'll Tennessee You In My Dreams
作詞:Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz
I was on the telephone
It's time to hang up
But I can't bring my self
To say goodnight
This empty place inside my heart
Imagine that your miles apart
Oh darlin'
How I long to hold you tight
We both know it's too late
Travel down
There is just one way
I can be with you tonight
I Tennessee you in my dreams
Close my eyes and take away
This distance in between
Just knowing that you love me
Gives my spirit wings tonight
I'll Tennessee you in my dreams
111.Time And Distance
作詞:Donny Lowery, Randy Sharp
There is a place down in Tennessee I call home
There is someone down there I call my own
At least I think he is, Lord I pray he is
Least I could do is give him a call
Our love across the miles is holding strong
With every sign of going on and on
Least I hope it will, Lord I pray it will
But there is a danger still 'cuz we know
That time and distance will do their level best
To build a wall between us and put love to the test
The doubt and temptation step in and take control
Calling on suspicion to come and take it's toll
We can't lead love down the path of least resistance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance
They say out of sight out of mind
But I say love like ours can hold the line
I'm here to say they're wrong, I hope and pray they're wrong
And we can keep love strong 'cuz we know
That time and distance will do their level best
To build a wall between us and put love to the test
The doubt and temptation step in and take control
Calling on suspicion to come and take it's toll
We can't lead love down the path of least resistance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance
112.Blood Red and Goin' Down
作詞:Claude Putman Jr.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
Daddy said, 'Now come girl
We're headed down the road to Augusta'
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her
He said, 'Girl, you're young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother'
But you can't steal a willin' mind
'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
With dusty teardrops on his face
My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'
Halfway runnin' to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin'
'Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?'
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
We searched in every barroom
An' honky-tonk as well
An' finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell
He sent me out to wait
But scared I looked back through the door
An' daddy left them both
Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
113.What Child Is This?
作詞:William Chatterson Dix
What child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The Cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sing her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
114.No Man's Land
作詞:D. Wayne
Many years ago in Brushcreak, Georgia
Molly Marlo was a virgin girl
She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson
Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world
He caught her after church one Sunday morning
And took her body with his rough hard hands
And walked off laughing as she lay there crying
Since then she's been known as no man's land
Molly Marlo was no man's land
Love could never grow in no man's land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In no man's land
Molly grew into a luscious beauty
Each man's head would turn as she walked by
And as their hot eyes watched her body moving
They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh
Molly went to school and studied nursing
Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact
First year that she nursed at Milliards Clinic
Six men pretended they had heart attacks
Molly Marlo was no man's land
Love could never grow in no man's land
The men all tried but she denied them
And they sighed and wrung their hands
But they couldn't go walking
In no man's land
Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison
A feverish pain that suffering shell of a man
He was glad to see the nurse from Milliards Clinic
'Til he saw the burning eyes of no man's land
Molly Marlo was no man's land
Love could never grow in no man's land
Barney cried but she denied him
And he prayed and wrung his hands
Now his soul's walking
Through no man's land
115.Bed Of Roses
作詞:Harold Reid
She was called a scarlet woman by the people
Who would go to church but leave me in the street
With no parents of my own I never had a home
And a fifteen year old girl has got to eat
She found me outside one Sunday morning
Begging money from a man I didn't know
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
That woman of the street this lady Rose
This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man
This bed of roses where I'm livin' is the only kind of life I'll
understand
She was a handsome woman just thirty-five
Who was spoken to in town by very few
She managed a late evening business
Like most of the town wished they'd do
I learned all the things a man should know
From a woman not approved of I suppose
She died knowing someone really loved her
From life's bramble bush I picked a rose
This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man
This bed of roses where I'm livin' is the only kind of life I'll
understand
116.California Cottonfields
作詞:Frazier Dallas, Montgomery Earl
My driftin' mem'ry goes back to the spring of '43
When I was just a child in mama's arms
My daddy plowed the ground and prayed that some day he could
leave
This run down mortaged Oklahoma farm
Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my mama
He finally saved enough for us to go
California was his dream a paradise wall he had seen
Pictures in magazines that told him so
California cottonfields
Where labor camps were filled with worried men with broken
dreams
California cottonfields was as close to wealth as daddy ever
came
Almost everything we had to sow we left behind
From my daddy's plows to the fruit that mama canned
Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell
Some just came to shake my daddy's hand
The Model A was loaded down and California bound
And a change of luck was just four days away
But the only change that I remember seeing for my daddy
Was when his dark hair had turned to silver gray
117.Don't Go Out (Duet With T. Graham Brown)
作詞:Radney Foster, Bill Lloyd
Baby, your heart is in serious danger
Don't go out with her
She'll lead you on, treat you like a stranger
Don't go out with her
You need someone like me
Who'll love you endlessly
Baby, you're headed for a brand new heartache
Don't go out with him
The fire of midnight burns out at daybreak
Don't go out with him
Darling wake up and see
I'm waiting patiently
My love is everything, you'll ever need
I'll start by holdin' your heart close to me
I know just what she'll do, her kind is never true
He can't take care of you like me
I know a place where love is for certain
Don't go out with her
Bring me your heart, there won't be no hurtin'
Don't go out with him
When it's all said and done
I'll be your only one
Baby, your heart is in serious danger
Don't go out with him
She'll lead you on, treat you like a stranger
Don't go out with him
Baby, you're headed for a brand new heartache
Don't go out with him
The fire of midnight burns out at daybreak
Don't go out with him
118.Almost Persuaded
作詞:Sherrill Billy, Sutton Glenn
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a man with a drink in his hand
He had big brown eyes and coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands
Then he came and sat down at my table
And as he placed his hands over mine
I found myself wanting to kiss him for temptation
Was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and he whispered I need you
Let me take you away and be your man
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw
It the reflection of my weddin' band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love
Made me stop and go home
119.Let Me Be There
作詞:Rostill John Henry
Wherever you go, wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know I'll always wanna be there
Holdin' your hand and standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through in everything you do
Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow and going through the changes in your life
That's how I know I'll always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on here I am
Whenever you call you know I'll be there
Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there, all I ask you is let me be
there
120.The Man That Turned My Mama On
作詞:Ed Bruce
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you now
Mama was no prude but she was proper
Never wore her dress too short
She didn't care if you did
But she'd never taken a drink
Grandma Kate did the best she could
To see mama grew up right
So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'
And to wear some gentleman's ring
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
I hear he came to town one day
In a rusty old '49 Ford
Sellin' ladies shoes
And assorted greeting cards
He was killin' good lookin' and easy to like
And turnin' all the ladies heads
But he saw mama first
And Lord knows how some of them travelin' men are
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
Mama seemed to forget the things
That grandma Kate had always told her
She ran away one night
With that traveling man
They bought gas at Reba's Truck Stop
And drove to Deseto County
But he brought her home
With a ring upon her hand
Mama's told me how the fever took him
When I was barely five
But I remember him pitchin' me up
And catchin' me
And I love to sit and listen to her
Tell me about my daddy
She says she thought
The sun must surely rise and set in me
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
121.After The Thrill Is Gone
作詞:Glenn Frey, Don Henley
Same dancers in the same old shoes
Some habits that you just can't lose
It's no telling what a girl might use
After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon descends
Empty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone, oh
After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned?
What have you done to be losing the one
You held him so tight in your hand?
Well, time passes and you must move on
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
Ain't no kind of lovin' at all
Same dancers in the same old shoes
You get too careful with the steps you choose
You don't care about winnin' but you don't wanna lose
After the thrill is gone, yeah
After the thrill is gone
122.The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
作詞:Robbie Robertson
Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
Until so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond that fell
It was a time I remember, oh, so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, 'Na, na, na, na, na, na'
Back with my wife in Tennessee
And one day she said to me
'Virgil, quick, come see
There goes Robert E. Lee'
Now I don't mind, I'm chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, 'Na, na, na, na, na, na'
Like my father before me, I'm a working man
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood below my feet
You can't raise a Cane back up when he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, 'Na, na, na, na, na, na'
123.Don't Go Out
Tanya Tucker F/ T. Graham Brown
Baby, your heart is in serious danger,
Don't go out with her.
She'll lead you on, treat you like a stranger,
Don't go out with her.
You need someone like me,
Who'll love you endlessly.
Baby, your headed for a brand new heartache,
Don't go out with him.
The fire of midnight burns out at daybreak,
Don't go out with him.
Darling wake up and see,
I'm waiting patiently.
My love is everything you'll ever need,
I'll start by holding your heart close to me.
I know just what she'll do,
Her kind is never true,
He can't take care of you like me.
I know a place where love is for certain.
Don't go out with her.
Bring me your heart, there won't be no hurtin',
Don't go out with him.
When it's all said and done,
I'll be your only one.
Baby, your heart is in serious danger,
Don't go out with him.
She'll lead you on, treat you like a stranger,
Don't go out with her.
124.Fire To Fire
Tanya Tucker F/ Willie Nelson
There's no such thing as perfect strangers
So I come to you the way I am
If you call on me to sacrifice
I won't promise that I can
We're fire to fire
Flame to flame
Pure desire
No retrains or sad songs
Only fire to fire
Only fire to fire
We will wake up when the moment's gone
And I'll still feel you on my fingertips
But they'll be nothing in the afterburn
But the taste upon our lips
We're fire to fire
Flame to flame
Pure desire
No retrains or sad songs
Only fire to fire
Only fire to fire
I'm not here tonight to rescue you
And you don't need me in your life
But I know I'll have the best of you tonight
We're fire to fire
Flame to flame
Pure desire
No retrains or sad songs
Only fire to fire
Only fire to fire
