All American Husband

Julie Ann Beisbier

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

There's a girl in a miniskirt walkin' down the street
He acts like he don't notice but he ain't a foolin' me
He'll look down at her ankles then he'll look up to her thighs
Then you'll hear him softly sigh as the girl walks by

He's an all American husband all American husband
He's a devil in disguise he's got mischief in his eyes
He's an all American husband

He goes to a go-go where the girls don't wear too much
Pretend he's not excited but why is he all flushed
The girls start their motion he'll say what a disgrace
But ladies take a look at that smile upon his face

He's an all American husband all American husband...
[ guitar - steel ]
All American husbands you'll find them all the same
Don't think that yours is different he just has a different name
Some are bold and flirty and others shy and tame
But they ain't a foolin' me and they've got the same thing on their brain

He's an all American husband all American husband...

That old man of mine he ain't no different
Football women baseball women poker more women
All American husband huh that's him

I'm Leaving The Bottle And You

Peggy Sue Wells

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

The wine has gone and turned your head
To bright lights and girls instead
Of loving the girl who loves you
I've said all I'm gonna say
And all my tears won't change your ways
I'm leaving the bottle and you

I've loved all I'm gonna love
There's nothing left so I'll give up
My loving the man you used to be
So I'll take what's left of me
There's no more love where love used to be
I'm leaving the bottle and you

I'm leaving the bottle and you
There's no place in your world for a girl who can't do
What the bottle can do for you
I'm leaving the bottle and you

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

You thought that I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love they just don't mix leave the bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
Cause if you want that kinda love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
[ guitar - steel ]
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone
Then you come in a kissin' on me it happens every time
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

You Wouldn't Know Love

Hank Cochran - Dave Kirby

© Tree Publishing, BMI

You look at me but you don't see me
I talk to you but you don't hear me
You're indifference just beats all I've ever seen
I tell you I love you but you don't know what that word means

For much too long I've tried so hard to hide
The way you treated me and the way you've hurt my pride
A blind man could see what you let go by
You wouldn't know love if it looked you in the eye

For much too long I've tried so hard to hide...

Down In The Boondocks

Joe South

© ATV Songs, BMI

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks
People put me down cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love him he loves me but I don't fit his society
Lord have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks

Every night I watch his light from the house up on the hill
I love the boy who lives up there and I know I always will
But I don't dare go near his door cause his folks won't let me in
So I have to try to be content just to see him whenever I can

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks...
[ guitar - steel ]
One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a queen and I never never will look back
Until that day I'll save my love for the boy I'll soon call mine
But tonight he'll have to steal away to see me one more time

Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks...
Lord have mercy on a girl from down in the boondocks

Honey Come Back

Jim Webb

© Jobete Music, ASCAP / Seventh Son Music, ASCAP / Audio Arts, ASCAP

Well honey I know I've said it too many times before
I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all
Since you’re supposed to belong to her
But I just can't let you go without tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time

Honey come back I just can't stand
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
Than the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to these arms I'll never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Honey come back where you belong to only me

Well I guess that's about all I've got to say
So I'm just gonna take my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights are callin' you honey
Big fine car and a big fancy home
But if you ever want somebody to just love you and someday you just may
Just give me a call honey you know where I am
And here's what I'll say

Honey come back I just can't stand...
Honey come back where you belong to only me

After The Preacher's Gone

Danny Walls - Sammy Lyons

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

I wish you'd been at our house to hear the blessing papa said today
He thanked the Lord for everything and asked him if he'd guide us all the way
And then he asked the Lord if he'd watch over us and bless our little home
But I know how it's gonna be after the preacher's gone

Now mama fixes dinner for the preacher's family once a year
I have to get the Bible down and wipe away the dust since he'll be here
Then mama says to papa watch your language or you might say something wrong
But you should hear the words we'll say after the preacher's gone

My sister hid her novels and I hid all my movie magazines
I took out empty beer cans papa left last night while watchin' his TV
Before the preacher leaves us he'll have papa lead us in a gospel song
But you should hear the songs we sing after the preacher's gone

Nobody has to tell us if we're living by the golden rule
And we might fool the preacher but it's not him we're really tryin' to fool
For there's somebody somewhere and He'll know it if your faith is really strong
For He is always watchin' you after the preacher's gone
After the preacher's gone

Romeo

Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

The girls all say you're a romeo well I found out that this is so
This ain't Rome and I ain't a gonna do what the Romans do
I'll admit you got what it takes to make my poor heart shiver and shake
And I'd love to be your woman romeo

You got roamin' hands and a rushin' fingers
But honey these die when they lose their stingers
You know the kind of chicks you can buzz around with
It's not that I don't love your honey
To lose my pride wouldn't be too funny
But this Juliet really loves you Romeo
[ guitar ]
Your kisses set my heart on fire gives my mind just one big jar
Mama told me to watch for times like this
You're tellin' me that I'm a square old fashioned girls don't get nowhere
You know I'm not that stupid Romeo

You got roamin' hands and a rushin' fingers....
Yeah this Juliet really loves you Romeo

He's Mine (But Take Him He's Yours)

Loretta Lynn - Teddy Wilburn

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

I wear his ring I share his name but he's in love with you
I tried to fight with all my might for I love him through and through
But without his heart he's no good to me so I'm giving him to you
He's mine but take him he's yours

He's mine but take him he's yours
Treat him right and be the kind of woman he deserves
I've lost the love of the only man I ever loved
He's mine but take him he's yours
[ steel ]
Hope you realize you've got a prize in this man you've won from me
How many girls would end their worlds give him up and set him free
It's all for him cause I hate you and what you've done to me
He's mine but take him he's yours

Yes it's all for him cause I hate you and what you've done to me
He's mine but take him he's yours

Playing After Dark

Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

You've got a habit that I can't break a playing after dark
I finally found your playground but you use it for a park
So go on out and play and don't worry bout the time
Cause your sweet mama's got a few little things in mind

You do your playing after dark and I think you're a playing dirty
Don't ask me who told me this let's just say a little birdie
Well you say you're playing a game of fun that's as old as Noah's ark
But your fun game's gettin' a little strange after dark
[ guitar ]
You've been a playing every night but tomorrow's mother's day
But when you leave to go to work your baby's gonna play
Well any game your playmates play I know one that's better
Your mama found her a tall dark baby sitter

You do your playing after dark...
Yeah your fun game's gettin' a little strange after dark

Apron Strings

Maxine Kelton - Jean Nelson

© Coal Miners Music, BMI

Apron strings and wedding rings and little pink like baby things
Are ways a man can tie a woman up and down
There's a certain man with a wedding band
He'd better change his foolish plans
Well a watch out or you'll find out that apron strings can swing

I'd either have to be real dumb or be the age of two
To keep from seein' through a picture window like you
You think these apron strings can hold me while you have your fling
Well a watch out or you'll find out that apron strings can swing

Apron strings and wedding rings...
[ steel ]
Cheatin' spots are on your clothes and written on your face
The things that you've been doin' you forgot to hide the trace
I think I'd better warn you I'm about to do my thing
Well a watch out or you'll find out that apron strings can swing

Apron strings and wedding rings...
