My Kind Of Love

Jerry Reed Hubbard

© Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI

To your way of thinkin' a promise is easy to make
Cause to your kind of promise is nothin' but somethin' to break
And the laugh fits your lips honey like a hand fits the glove
And your kind of woman don't understand my kind of love

The heartaches you caused me don't cause you the least bit of shame
And I guess if I let you you'd hurt me all over again
And I can't help but wonder what was I thinkin' of
To think that your kind of woman could understand my kind of love

I made you my life while you made me into your fool
Yes I found that too late that your love meant heartache
Your kind of woman never could be true

But someday you'll know what a hurt when your heart breaks in two
And when your world falls to the pieces then you'll know what you put me through
And I hope I'm around when you'll learn what I'm speakin' of
Cause your kind of woman don't understand my kind of love

Temporarily

Tom T. Hall

Good evening friend hey you're lookin' good
I'm happy about your prosperity
But before you ask how I'm a gettin' along
Well I'm down on my luck temporarily

Temporarily I'm out of touch with the folks on my street
Temporarily there ain't too much left between the sidewalk and my feet
But wait for a while and I'll come back in style
I'm just not what is a happenin' temporarily

Well I see that you noticed my suit ain't been pressed
No I'm not the fashion this week
But now you know how I think and I'll get back in the pink
I'm just showin' my blue side temporarily
I'm just showin' my blue side temporarily
I'm just showin' my blue side temporarily
Yeah I'm just showing my blue side temporarily

How Does It Feel

Dave Dudley

By now you know he let you go how does it feel
Did he hurt you like you hurt me does it seem real
I bet he told you lots of things but never ever mentioned rings
By now you know he let you go how does it feel

You said to me just go away that you and I were through
So I did I found someone and now I don't need you

By now you see that nothing's free how does it feel
And by now you know how a heart can hurt how does it feel
Don't come crying back to me your tears I can no longer see
By now you know he let you go how does it feel
By now you know he let you go how does it feel

Making Plans

Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

You say tomorrow you're leaving
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
Cause you're making plans to leave

The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
Cause you're making plans to leave

You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
[ piano ]
Yes you're making plans to leave

Stirring Up The Embers

Dave Dudley

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

There's nothing left but burning memories
And that flame just won't flare up inside of me
Although you're gone I see you everywhere
So I keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair

New loves sometimes take the place of old
But I can't turn my love for you from one to hold
You're not in my arms but on my mind you're there
So I keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair
[ piano ]
For me no future too much from the past
So I'll take my mem'ries and keep them while they last
I'll add the fuel then handle them with care
And keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair

I Lived For A While

Jimmy Key

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

My life began when I met you
I lived while I was with you
Then died when you told me goodbye
Yes I died when you told me goodbye
But I lived oh yes I lived for a while

Loving you was so nice like paradise
Tender warm and so real
Then mem'ries from the past
Made you believe it couldn't last
Now you're gone oh but I lived for a while
[ guitar ]
Loving you was so nice like paradise...
Now you're gone oh but I lived for a while

I Won't Go Down That Road

Tom T. Hall - Dave Dudley

© Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI

Well I'm through hurt and startin' today
And here's something I'd like to say
I know you'll be shocked and surprised
But I wish you try this song for size
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore

You've had all of me you're gonna get
And you ain't had the best of me yet
When you want me I'll be hard to find
And I'll leave you with this thought in my mind
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore

Some things just have to be done
And I guess my leavin' is won
I wish there was other way
But I only have one thing to say
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore

It's over I'm making my move
Got my rags in my bag and I'll prove
I've gone like a big ended bird
Make sure you'll remember my words
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore
I won't go down that road anymore

I Taught Her Everything She Knows

Arthur Kent - Sylvia Dee

© Edward Proffitt Music, ASCAP / Music Sales, ASCAP

I taught her everything she knows and then what did she do
She turned to someone else and taught him everything she knew
The way to hold me close and kiss so tenderly
The words to say the things to do she learned from me

I taught her love's all that matters on this earth
But then she left me so what was in our world
I thought that she'd be true to me but that's the way it goes
He ought to thank me cause I taught her everything she knows
[ piano ]
I taught her love's all that matters on this earth...

Sweet Thang

Nat Stuckey

© Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI

I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
When she finds that I ain't there
And if she catches her sweet thang out runnin' around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses
If my sweet thang does have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
[ guitar ]
I gave my baby all my money on payday
Except a little she don't know about
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
She seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk
She believed in every word that I said
When that door blew open and mama walked in
Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you cafe cuties
If my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes

You take all my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes

Subject To Change

Roy Baham

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

Life is lookin' up again she's back where she belongs
And my old heart is on the man she was gone so long
From loneliness to happiness my life I rearrange
She won't stay but she's here today subject to change

Subject to change overnight and be gone
Free and contained the wild one must know
To love and leave and love again to her isn't strange
So for the time I'll call her mine subject to change
[ piano ]
Well I'm not proud I need her so she's welcome anytime
But she won't stay because I know I've seen her change her mind
From me to him and back again she'll always be the same
She'll stay a while and I can smile subject to change
She'll stay a while and I can smile subject to change

My Way Of Life

Sonny Curtis

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Standin' on the road walkin' down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's my way of life

I never had a lot of ambition but I always made my own way
By turnin' a couple of jobs in some ladies' backyard
I averaged about a dollar a day
I wake up early each morning and before I started on my way
I get some cogarettes and a couple of cups of coffee
Sweepin' the local city cafe

Standin' on the road walkin' down the highway...

I've never had no one to love me never've girl to call my own
I never would take a chance or fool with romance
I guess I'm too used to bein' alone
Nobody wants a drifter and I gotta keep movin' on
There's nothin' to tie me down when I wanna leave town
Nobody to miss me when I'm gone

Standin' on the road walkin' down the highway...
