You're Gonna Love Yourself In The Morning

Donnie Fritts

© Combine Music, BMI

Heaven knows that someone has abused you
I guess that's why you think I'm gonna use you
Say you'll hate yourself in the morning cause you'll wake up and I'll be gone
But if you'll give me just one chance I can prove you wrong

You're gonna love yourself in the morning
And I'm gonna love you all night long
You're gonna love yourself in the morning
And every morning from now on

I know what you're thinking and I don't blame you
It's gonna take a whole lotta love to change you
When you wake up in the morning you'll feel like a different man
And you will see that it can be such a beautiful world

You're gonna love yourself in the morning...

She's In Love With A Rodeo Man

Bob McDill

© PolyGram Int, ASCAP

She's a waitress in a west Texas dance hall
She's there every night till they close
The cowboys match for the jukebox
While it plays San Antonio Rose

I know that her life ain't been easy
The lines in her face say it all
But she's still a beautiful lady
In the lights of a Texas dance hall

But she won't sit down at your table
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She won't go home with you cowboy
She's in love with a rodeo man

Well he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayin'
And he's stoned nearly all of the time
And he sits at a dark corner table
He he waits there until closin' time

And at last the barroom is empty
And in the darkness he holds her so close
And they dance all alone to the jukebox
While it plays San Antonio Rose

But she won't sit down at your table...
No she won't sit down at your table...

I Was Just Fifteen

Even Stevens - Rollin Bennett

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

A little bit of love in a friendly way is all it took to make me stay hmm
My innocence taken advantage of time and time again hmm
I was no more than a blue eyed child made to grow up in a womans world so I ran away
And the child was born in another town with no place left to turn
What would mommy say

A little bit of love goes a long long way
When you're left all alone with a price to pay for what you've done
A little bit of love goes a long long way
But I wish that I knew what I know today
But I was just fifteen

A little baby boy can seem so big when you're walkin' all alone on an empty street hmm
But I sheltered him from the wind and the cold did my best to keep him warm hmm
Then one night in the pourin' rain the county came and took my baby away from me
As I sit here much older now I wonder how my boy turned out
Does he think of me

A little bit of love goes a long long way...

Good For Something Years

Even Stevens

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

To want you and need you and love you like I do
Babe I couldn't love you more if I tried
Cause you make my days great and I hope you'll always be around
To help me through my lonely nights

But if you should ever find
That I've changed in your mind
I hope you'll take the time to stop and realize
That the smiles outweigh the tears
We had good for something years
And more than just some memories left behind

Love like the season can change for no reason
And sometimes the sunshine hides behind a cloud
But we'll go on livin' lovin' and forgivin'
Maybe someday we'll find out what it's all about

But if you should ever find...

Paste Me On Some Feathers

Eddie Rabbitt - Even Stevens

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Babe ya know the way I feel about ya don't ya babe
And I would never do ya any harm
You want me to run away but I've been holdin' back
You just made my mind up in your arms

So paste me on some feathers put some on ya too
We'll get a friend to push us off a cliff
And babe I'll fly away with you
Yeah I'll fly away with you

You ain't got a penny in your pocket do ya babe
Well I ain't got a nickel to my name
But layin' here beside ya it don't seem to matter now
I'm with ya in the sunshine or the rain

So paste me on some feathers...
Paste me on some feathers...

Cover Me

Wayne C. Thompson

© Budde Songs, BMI

Take the warm easy comfort of your smile
Add together with a good man's ways
Weave it with care from the strands of my hair
Make a blanket of love to cover me

Lay me down lay me down with desire
And let the fire take it's own time to blaze
And if it should storm I don't care
Cause I'll stay warm with your sweet love to cover me

Cover me with a warm love light
Keep me close on a cold cold night
I've been naked for so long
But you can keep me from all wrong

Take your love and cover me baby
Take your love and cover me

I've been travelin' back roads for so long
And I've been lonely much more than I can say
While I've prayed a million times for a tender hand on mine
And a warm love like yours to cover me

So cover me with a warm love light...

Baby take your love and cover me
Baby baby baby take your love and cover me

(# 26 country hit)

Long Black Veil

Marijohn Wilkin - Danny Dill

© Cedarwood Publishing, BMI

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed ‘neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran was standin' there with me

The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die
He spoke not a word though it meant his life
Cause he'd been in my arms his best friend's wife

And now I walk these hills in a long black veil
I visit his grave when night winds wail
Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high eternity near
I stood in the crowd and I shed not one tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil I cry o'er his bones

And I walk these hills in a long black veil...

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed ‘neath the town hall light

Don't Wanna Rock

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well I don't wanna rock I don't wanna roll
I just wanna feed that country gnawin' in my hungry soul
I ain't got no mind to write no message in this song
Too many words get in the way between what's right and wrong

So I ain't really got a whole lot to say
And likely or not my friends they wouldn't listen anyway
So we're just gonna pick guitars and sing our funky song
So the mockingbird don't feel so all alone

So many preachers preachin' till Lord I just can't see
Why anyone would want to listen to a fool like me

Cause I don't wanna roll I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna go where I was goin' to I'm turnin' back my clock
They tell me right is right okay so why is left all wrong
And that's why the mockingbird refused to sing this song

Cause he don't wanna rock he don't wanna roll

Sunshine

Harley Hatcher - Lalo Shifrin - Mike Curb

© Blackwood Music, BMI

He was the sunshine of my life
Used to wake the day up with his smile
I know he loved me once upon a time
Cause real love ain't an easy thing to hide

Then I watched the storm clouds start to roll
And darkness drove the sunshine from his eyes
Now I often think of once upon a time
Cause a dyin' love ain't an easy thing to hide

But if you look you'll see that I ain't cryin'
The good Lord knows we sure had some good times tryin'
And the echo of his laughter it lingered even after
He packed up all his things and moved along
Leavin' just the traces of a song

But he was the sunshine of my life
And the warmth I feel is all he left behind
But I wouldn't trade one single yesterday
Cause happy times ain't an easy thing to find
He was the sunshine of my life
The sunshine sunshine of my life

Darlin' It's Good To Have You Home

Even Stevens - June Dussia

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

I woke you this mornin' I had you runnin' for the bus by eight
I'd have held you longer at the front door but I didn't wanna make you late
I spent my whole day dreamin' of you
I love the way you love me and everything you do

Darlin' it's good to have you home
I've never seen a day last so long
Since you left this morning everything's gone wrong
Darlin' it's good to have you home

My day without you gets to be a little too much to face
But then I see you walkin' through the door and your savin' grace
So kiss me quick and honey kick off your shoes
I've got some love that I've been saving just for you

Darlin' it's good to have you home...
Darlin' it's good to have you home
