MAKE MINE NIGHT TIME

(Curly Putman - Mike Kosser)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make mine night time honky tonk women and bright signs
I gotta play at the end of the day
Give me the lights of the city and the feel of a woman against me
And I'm on my way
Places faces jokers they play like they're aces
Kings and queens in shadowy scenes
Where the wine and the love are flowing
And the lady you meet let you know she's going your way

When the sun sinks low and the working people go home
And the night life part of the city starts to turn on yeah
Jukebox cowboys are playin' the blues goodtime ladies're makin' their moves
Countin' the neon blow no one's alone

So make mine night time...
[ guitar ] Make mine night time...
I say make mine night time...

OLD ME AND YOU

(Bill Anderson)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It feels like the old me and you gain
It feels like the old me and you
The clouds are gone and the sun's shining through
And it feels like the old me and you

This is where it was before it got to where it is
And I like it better here than where it's been
Love the way it should be lust the way it could be
All the time and now's the time to me began

It's feeling like it felt it before the feeling went away
And let me feeling nothing down inside
And I'm living out the life that I started out to live
When you used to live with me before love dies

And it feels like the old me and you...
[ piano ] It feels like the old me and you...

MORE THAN A BEDROOM THING

(Bill Anderson)
« © '79 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's nothin' I like any better than turnin' the lights down low
Turnin' the covers back and lettin' all of our feelin' show
My favorite room is the bedroom my favorite time is night
My favorite place is in your arms lovin' and holdin' you tight

But our love is more than a bedroom thing
It strats there but it don't stop there it's an old and compassing thing
You're a fantastic woman in the kitchen a dynamite lady in the den
You're a hell of a lover in the bedroom but our love is more than a bedroom thing
So much more more than a bedroom thing
[ guitar ] Sometimes I get high just sittin' and talkin' to you
Laughin' at the things we've done and plannin' the thing we goin' to do
Your fingers touchin' my body your eyes touchin' my soul
Your kisses leading me back to the room where the waters of passion flow

But our love is more than a bedroom thing...

I'M USED TO THE RAIN

(Bill Anderson)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Somehow in the midst of all the madness that surrounds us
Love's come along out of nowhere like magic and found us
You say you've never been so happy and you cried unashamed
Go on and cry baby cry till you're dry baby I'm used to the rain

For until you came along all that I'd ever known was cloudy skies
I'm used to the rain let it wash all the pain from your eyes and our lives
[ guitar ] From now till the end of the world the sun's gonna shine
And the rainbow that follows the rain will be all yours and mine
You say it's because you love me you cried unashamed
Go on and cry baby cry till you're dry baby I'm used to the rain
Go on and cry baby cry till you're dry baby I'm used to the rain

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT

(Bob Seger)
« © '76 Gear Publishing, ASCAP »
I know it's late I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry no one will care girl look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow we've got tonight babe why don't you stay

Deep in my soul I've been so lonely all of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does I know I'll keep searching even after today
So there it is girl I've said it all now and here we are babe what can you say
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow we've got tonight babe why don't you stay

I know it's late and I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely so lonely
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow let's make it last let's find the way
Turn out the lights come to my hand now we've got tonight babe why don't you stay

NASHVILLE MIRRORS

(Sid Linard - Chance Jones)
« © '80 This Side Up Publishing, ASCAP »
In a dusty old saloon out west in Abilene
Dreaming dreams at forty that he dreamed at seventeen
He sings and plays his guitar for all of you bucks tonight
Still tryin' to be a star and see his name in lights

Somewhere the organ's playing a hymn of salvation
As she sings so low for the congregation
In her mind she's at the Opry and her friends filled the pews
And she can hear them saying she's Loretta No 2

Looking in Nashville mirrors
You can close your eyes and dream who you are
Looking in Nashville mirrors
It's so easy to see the reflection of the star

Loadin' steel in Pittsburg savin' every dime he raise
He's headin' south to Nashville praying for the breaks
Every song he's written it's gonna be a country hit
He hates to leave his family but his dream won't let him quit

In a honky tonk in Georgia she looks old at sixteen
Lord she hates the spotlights she don't even like the scene
But daddy's pushin' her to be the star he can't be
Those lying Nashville mirrors there's so easy to believe

Looking in Nashville mirrors...

Excepting his award on the Grammy show tonight
That cowboy's now an outlaw stoned out of his mind
He's found that a star only lights an empty space
And the mirrors that he dreamed in he can't find the nerve to face

Looking in Nashville mirrors...
Sometimes it takes a lifetime to see the fool you are

HER WEDDING RING'S A ONE MAN BAND

(Bill Anderson - Jerry Abbott)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've seen the way you've looked at her ever since you've got to town
You've wondered if she's married and if she is does she fool around
Well look a little closer at the third finger on her left hand
That's a wedding ring she's wearin' and her wedding ring's a one man band

Her wedding ring's a one man band
She don't make pretty music with anyone but me you understand understand
The only song she knows how to sing is Stand By Your Man
Her wedding ring's a one man band
[ trumpet ] I bet she knows the words to every verse of I Walk The Line
She ain't never heard Your Cheatin' Heart or the Wild Side Of Life
Heaven's Not A Sin Away and Backstreet Affair ain't in her plans
That's the wedding ring she's wearin' and her wedding ring's a one man band

Her wedding ring's a one man band..
Her wedding ring's a one man band..

SHE MADE ME REMEMBER

(Bill Anderson)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
She was pretty and she laughed a lot Lord knows these days I need some laughter
So I called her up and I took her out she never dreamed what I was after

I wanted her lips I wanted her bad I wanted her love to clear my head
I wanted her to make me forget you but instead she made me remember

She looked at me with the softest eyes and spoke to me in a gentle whisper
And her body felt like it was gonna melt when I held her close and kissed her

I wanted her lips I wanted her bad...

All the nights that I spent dying in your arms she made me remember
As she slowly drew up a pattern on my back with a soft side of her finger so tender

I wanted her lips I wanted her bad...
I guess I'll always be in love with you she made me remember

I WANT THAT FEELIN' AGAIN

(Bill Anderson)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I want that feelin' again I want that feelin' again
I had it once and it got away and I want that feelin' again
I want that feelin' again I want that feelin' again
I had it once and it got away and I want that feelin' again

I felt it early in the morning I trembled through and through
It was wicked and wild warm and wonderful wakin' up next to you
And I felt it again in the evening soon as the sun went down
That sweet soft sexy feelin' I can wrap my arms around

And I want that feelin' again...

Take me back to the magic in which my soul believed
Where every smile was a rainbow and every kiss was a dream
We had it didn't we have it and it burned didn't it burn
But we blew it didn't we blow it baby mhm make it return
And I want that feelin' again...
And I want that feelin' again...
And I want that feelin' again...

LOVE ME AND I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND

(Bill Anderson)
« © '79 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Love me and I'll be your best friend
And you won't have to be alone ever again
I'll sing with you in the sunshine
I'll shelter you from the raindrops and the wind
Love me and I'll be your best friend

I wanna be your lover and slowly spread your hair down on my pillow
I wanna hold you close to me and feel your gentle breathing on my skin
And when the loving's over I'm gonna wrap my arms around your shoulders
Look you in the eyes whisper baby that's the best it's ever been

Then I wanna lie with you and listen to the thoughts that you've been thinking
Found out where you're coming from what it really is that makes you fly
I want you to know I'm somene you can go and rest your troubles
Whatever you can cross or a mountain you can climb up to the sky

Love me and I'll be your best friend...
Love me and I'll be your best friend
