SOMETIMES

(Bill Anderson)
« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Hello beautiful are you married (sometimes)
Tell me are you happy (yes sometimes)

But sometimes I feel like I've just got to get away
From the same old existence day after day
Oh haven't you ever felt that way (sometimes)
I can see you're married don't you love her (sometimes)
But you have thought of cheating haven't you (yes sometimes)

Sometimes I long for a warm tender kiss
Just to see if there's anything I might have missed
Oh haven't you ever felt like this (sometimes)

And it's beginning to feel like this might be one of those sometimes
Those one times in a lifetime

I'm aching to hold you kiss and console you drive you right out of your mind
But I know when I do I won't get over you for quite sometimes

I'm aching to hold you...

CIRCLE IN TRIANGLE

(Orville Couch - Bobbie Jean Carroll)
« © '76 Touchdown Music, BMI »
There's a circle in a triangle
It's a shining little band of gold
You're the one who put it on her finger
Yeah but it's your hand I long to hold

That tiny circle it's the tie that binds me
It's there to remind me you'll never be mine
For that circle in a triangle
Three hearts in a tangle that'll never unwind

I love you (I love you) I want you (I want you)
I need you (and I need you) my whole life through
But there's a circle in a triangle
Three hearts in a tangle hers yours and mine

I love you (I love you)...
Three hearts in a tangle that'll never unwind

GONE AT LAST

(Paul Simon)
« © '76 Paul Simon Music, BMI »
The night was black the roads were icy snow was fallin' drips were high
And I was weary from my drivin' so I stopped to rest for a while
I sat down at a truck stop I was thinkin' about my past
I've had a long streak of a bad luck but I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last (gone at last) gone at last (gone at last)
Gone at last (gone at last) gone at last (gone at last)
I've had a long streak of a bad luck but I pray it's gone at last
[ dobro ] Well I ain't dumb I kicked around some I have thought too easily
But that boy looked so deductive he just grabbed my sympathy
Sweet little woman what's your problem tell me why you're so down cast
I've had a long streak of a bad luck but I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last (gone at last)...
[ dobro ] Once in awhile from out of nowhere at least expected and we ran to pair
Somebody will come and lift you higher and your burdens will be shared
I do believe if I hadn't met you I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long streak of a bad luck but I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last (gone at last)...
But I pray it's gone at last

COME WALK WITH ME

(Steve Karliski)
« © '76 Painted Desert Music, BMI »
Tonight in the darkness I was awakened by a knock at the door
And you know at first I thought that it was still a dreem
But you're back and I still can't believe I'm seeing you once more
God it's been so lonely without you where you've been

Darling I missed you so won't you come walk with me
There's some place we must go there's something you must see

You're forgiving me for hurting you why I can see it in your eyes
And as you take my hand we're walking just as we used to do
Where you're taking me won't it ever be surprise it doesn't matter
Just as long as I'll never again be without you

Darling I missed you so...

Why you're leading me down those same green summer lanes
That we so often walked together
And I'm so happy it's all like a dream come true
There's that tree we used to sat under it all comes back to me now
There's the road that leads down to the river where they found you

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS

(Bill Anderson)
« © '76 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If I kiss you tonight when the sun comes up tomorrow can we still be friends
If I take you in my arms and if you become another can we still be friends

Can we still laugh and talk can we still hold hands and walk
Through the magic world that we've been living in
I'd like for you to love me (but I'd love for you to like me)
Can we still be friends
[ steel ] I've seen so many couples fall in love with each other
And the beautiful friendship ends
And I've just got to know before I give myself completely
Can we still be friends

Can we still laugh and talk can we still hold hands and walk
Well it'd still be as tender as it's been
I'd like for you to love me (but I'd love for you to like me)
Can we still be friends can we still be friends

THAT'S WHAT MADE ME LOVE YOU

(Lore)
« © '76 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Two nights in the pourin' rain (in a motel in Dallas)
That's what made me love you (that's what made me love you)
Champagne in a dixie cup (you had a little and I had too much)
That's what made me love you that's what made me love you

There ain't no way that time can make a bad thing out of our love
In a hundred years I'll think back and I'll have the memory of
A box of candy and a wilted rose (wrinkled sheets and wrinkled clothes)
That's what made me love you that's what made me love you

Champagne in a dixie cup (you had a little) yeah you had too much
But that's what made me love you (that's what made me love you)
Two nights in the pourin' rain (in a motel in Dallas)
That's what made me love you that's what made me love you

WITHOUT

(Bill Anderson)
« © '76 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well baby now that you've got your freedom
How you're doin' (without)
And honey I'm a subject you've got your freedom too
How you're doin' (without)

Without your arms around me the world's a lonely place
Please don't look too close when you're looking to my face

So you see that I've been crying (and crying ain't what freedom's all about)
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you I'll do without
You know the last time I saw you was that when you came in
And said that you didn't want to live with me anymore
Yeah I thought we'd both be better off if we just untight the knot
And losin' the chance
But honey I was in your arms five minutes before I knew I made a big mistake
And you just don't know how many nights I've laid awake in a big cold bed
And called your name
And I just wonder now if all the men in town are cravin' your body
Honey what you're doin' (without)
And if all the girls are chasin' you what have you been doin' (without)

Without your arms around me...
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you I'll do without

CHARLIE MARY AND US

(Espie Slim Haven)
« © '76 Touchdown Music, BMI »
Good evening dear how did things go did you have a good day today
I hope she doesn't notice that traces of Mary's lipstick that I just light away
Okay I guess but that dog's gotta go but he always gets in my way
And he almost bit Charlie when he caught him sneakin' in the backdoor today

That's the good dinner dear think I'll have a beer maybe it'll help me unwind
Really I'd like to sneak ou and meet Mary tonight but she like get suspicious this time
I'm so tired think I go to bed remember to turn out the lights
I really am tired but it's not from the work and I hope he's as tired as I am tonight
[ steel - guitar ] Well goodnight have a good sleep wake me on time won't you dear
I almost slipped up and called to Mary I hope that she didn't hear
Goodnight honey please don't worry I'll wake you in time for your bus
But I know about Mary and we're just one big happy family Charlie Mary and us
I know about Charlie (and I know about Mary)
We're just one big happy family Charlie Mary and us

I CAN'T SLEEP WITH YOU

(Mike Kosser - Steve Pippin)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
Here I lay in bed tossing and turning
The fires of love we once knew are still burning
I'm living with your mem'ry all the time

I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
I've tried everything I know to help my sleeping
But sleep won't come to eyes that burn from weeping
It's funny cause I've never been the crying kind

I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
I have all the empty hours I can stand
Life is nothing to a woman without a love of her sweet man
And it seems like the nights just get longer and longer all the time
Cause I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind

LET ME TAKE YOU AWAY

(Bill Anderson)
« © '76 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Let me take you away let me take you away
Love there's still time let me take you away

Did he tell you he love you this morning before he left (no)
Did he kiss you when he got back home
No he just came in and opened up a beer and sat down by the TV alone
Did she cook your favorite dinner last night (no)
Did she wear something sexy to bed
No she just took off her makeup rolled up her hair
Reached for a book and just read

Let me take you away let me take you away
Love there's still time let me take you away

Do you get the feelin' there's more to life than this
Yes we were not gonna find out who we are
(I'd follow you to the end of the world) and I'd follow you twice that far
Let me take you away let me take you away
From the dark and lonely night (into a world of love tonight)
I'll be oh so good to you (I'll do anything you want me to)

Love there's still time let me take you away
Let me take you away let me take you away
Love there's still time let me take you away
