So, So, So Long
(S. Alan Taylor/Lisa Palas)
You know it seems like I've loved you forever
Who could be closer than you and I
People even say we're so much alike
But they don't know I've
Been lovin' you so long that I know every move you make
And every breath you take
What I feel is so strong
Sometimes I don't know where I end and where you begin
And you make me so happy feelin' like this
There's so much ahead that I don't wanna miss
Oh I wanna keep it so good
So, so, so long
So good, so real, and so right
oh I wanna keep it so good
so so so long
yeah yeah yeah
Oh darlin' don't think for a minute
Time could ever steal the thrill away
You've still got the power to be my man
You know you can
Been lovin' you so long that I know every move you make
And every breath you take
What I feel is so strong
Sometimes I don't know where I end and where you begin
And you make me so happy feelin' like this
There's so much ahead that I don't wanna miss
Oh I wanna keep it so good
So, so, so long
Oh I wanna keep it so good
So so so long
So good
So fine
So real
So right
So, so, so long
So, so, so long
Let The Music Lift You Up
(Troy Seals/Eddie Setser)
Well you say you're from the city
California is your home
Hey I'm a country girl
Over Oklahoma way
Oh there's miles and miles between us
But that don't mean a thing
When those guitars start to play
Oh sweet sounds of freedom
Ringing through the air
Sending out a message to us all
We don't have a curtain
Made of iron or stone
We are not divided by a wall
So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From L.A. to Broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up
When you're feelin' low
Hit that radio
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up
There are books that tell us
What makes this whole world turn
And how heaven holds the star wars
But there's no explanation
Lord it's still a mystery
How a song can touch your heart
So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From L.A. to Broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up
Little Rock
(P. McManus/B. DiPiero/G. House)
Well I married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothin'
When ya can't get a good night's lovin'
Little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me
Little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
Little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
New Fool At An Old Game
(S. Bogard/R. Giles/S. Stephen)
You sure know what you're doin'
Holdin' me this way
And I'll go where you lead me
Anywhere you say
You've got me where you want me
So darlin' please be kind
Before you take it all
And I make that final fall
You've got to keep in mind
That I'm a new fool
At an old game
A kid outta school
Tryin' to find my way
But I don't know the rules
Teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool
At an old game
Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe I'm naive
But when you say you love me
I start to believe
That gold can turn to diamonds
And this night will never end
But if it isn't so
And I cry when you go
That I'm a new fool
At an old game
A kid outta school
Tryin' to find my way
But I don't know the rules
Teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool
At an old game
Little Girl
(Kendal Franceschi/Quentin Powers)
Daddy used to tell me
If I ran too fast
I'd fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And I'd get there before anyone else
I'd see a puppy in the window
An I'd run and press my face against the pane
And daddy'd say slow down girl
After all these years I guess nothing has changed
That little girl I knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Ain't that just like a little girl
I knew
Back home there stands an old house
With a picket fence
Beneath a big ol' tree
I can almost see the backyard
And the little girl with freckles
That was me
There were dreams of toys and storybooks
And lord it seemed I wanted them so bad
Well twenty years have come and gone
And I'm still chasin' things that I can't have
That little girl I knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Ain't that just like a little girl
I knew
Guess I'm still that little girl
Daddy I still haven't learned to slow down yet
Can't Stop Now
(Gary Nicholson/Wendy Waldman)
I can't say I didn't know what I was doin'
I can't pretend things just got outta hand
I shoulda kept my distance
While I was still strong
But I got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now
Well I walked right in with my eyes wide open (I did)
And I was blind when you told me
You'd be mine just as soon as you were free
I should have kept my distance
While I was still strong
But I got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now
Can't stop now
Crazy heart's runnin' outta control
Can't stop now
And I'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be headed for a breakdown
But I can't stop now
Sunday Kind Of Love
(B. Belle/L. Prima/A. Leonard/S. Rhodes)
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love oh yeah
I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love
I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
I want a Sunday kind of love
I Know How He Feels
(Rick Bowles/Will Robinson)
When I heard that familiar voice
My heart stopped dead in it's tracks
Across the room I could see him there
A ghost from my past
But he's too caught up to notice me
She must be his new love
I never dreamed that it would hurt this much
It's just
I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
Oh how he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
'Cause I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
And I know how he feels
As long as I kept him outta sight
I kept from going out of my mind
Tried to believe that leavin' him
Was somehow justified
But tonight there's no denying
What a love like his is worth
He once looked at me
The way he's looking at her
What a lucky girl
I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
Oh how he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
'Cause I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
And I know how he feels
Cathy's Clown
(Don Everly)
I want your lovin'
More and more
I want you kisses
That's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
There's sayin'
Here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You know you've gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let 'em pass you by
You're not a man at all
She don't want your lovin'
Anymore
She don't want your kisses
That's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let 'em call you
Cathy's clown
When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that I'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treatin' you so bad
And I'm the one who cares
I want your lovin'
More and more
I want you kisses
That's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
There's sayin'
Here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown
You Must Really Love Me
(Don Schlitz/Reba McEntire)
Tell me why do you put up with my foolish ways
You never take to heart the crazy things I say
Oh I know that you could walk out on me anyday
There must be a darn good reason
Why you'd even wanna stay
And you must really love me
How can it be true
There are things you'll take from me
I won't even take from you
And every time I fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as I love you
You must really love me
As much as I love you
I appreciate the honesty you've shown to me
And the way you tell your friends that you belong to me
And when you hold me tight you always set me free
Oh this must be the way
That true love was meant to be
And you must really love me
How can it be true
There are things you'll take from me
I won't even take from you
And every time I fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as I love you
You must really love me
As much as I love you
Somebody Up There Likes Me
(Suzy Wills/Bill Cooley)
I can't get used to the hustle
I try to keep my actions straight
I get caught in the bustle
I do things I really hate
Just when I think I'm a sinkin'
I hear a voice inside my head
Says don't do what you're thinkin'
Send your thoughts to me instead
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
And when my wordly head spins around
He sends his love down
You know I'm only human
That's what I always say
It's just excuses
So I can do things my own way
But when I fall and stumble
I know I will be saved
No my world won't crumble
I'll make it through the hardest days
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
And when my wordly head spins around
He sends his love down
I wish I'd known all along
But it's much better late
Than to never know you're wrong
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
And when my wordly head spins around
He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
And when my wordly head spins around
He sends his love down
He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me
San Antonio Rose
(Bob Wills)
Oh you and all your splendor
It knows only me heart
Call back my rose
Rose of San Antone
Oh lips so sweet and tender
Just like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love
My ol' broken songs
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit path
Oh beside the Alamo
And Rose my rose of San Antone
Oh my rose my rose of San Antone
Mama Tried
(Merle Haggard)
First thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young one's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
No one could steer me right
But Mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right
But Mama tried Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading I denied
And that leaves only me to blame
'Cause Mama tried
Night Life
(W. Nelson/P. Buskirk/W. Breeland)
When the evenin'
Sun goes down
You can find me
Hangin' around
Oh the night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people
Just like me
Dreaming of
Old used to be's
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh listen to the blues they're playin'
Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'
Mine is just
Another scheme
In a world
Of broken dreams
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
(Play me some blues boys)
Oh listen to the blues they're playin'
Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'
When the evenin'
Sun goes down
You can find me
Hangin' around
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
The night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life

With ivory skin
And eyes of emerald green

There's nothing I can do to keep from cryin'
When he calls your name Jolene

I'm beggin' of you
Please don't take my man

But I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene

I'm beggin' of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him
Even though you can

Sweet Dreams (Live version)
(Don Gibson)
Sweet dreams of you
Every night
I go through
Why can't I forget the past
And start loving someone new
Instead of having
Sweet dreams
About you
You don't love me
It's plain
I should have known
I'd never wear your ring
Oh I should hate
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams
About you
Oh instead
Of having
Sweet dreams
About you
