TOUCH MY HEART

(Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew - Donny Young)
« © '66 Dream City Music, BMI »
[ Len Miller ]
Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but can't seem to shake her memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
Then tell me again what love can do for me

If you lived in my world awhile you'd soon forget how to smile
In my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see how someone changed my destiny
I'm a man who can't live and yet can't die
[ steel ] Touch my heart feel the hurt...

GODS WERE ANGRY WITH ME

(Watt Watkins - Ruth Wilkinson)
« © '56 Century Songs, BMI »
[ Jimmy Gateley ]
The Gods were angry with me for loving you
The Gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portals but they were too high
For any model such as I

And so they took down the sun the skies were gray
And then the howling winds took you away
And there was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the Gods were angry with me
[ steel ] And so they took down the sun...
And there was nothing I could do...

ANYTIME

(Herbert Lawson)
« © '21 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
[ Jimmy Gateley ]
Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down hearted that will prove your love for me is true

Anytime you're thinking bout me that's the time I'll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
[ steel ] Anytime your world is lonely and you'll find true friends are few
Anytime you see a rainbow that will be a sign the storm is through

Anytime will be the right time anytime at all will do
Anytime you're sure you want only my love
That's the time I'll come back home to you

BEFORE I MET YOU

(Charles L. Seitz - Joe Lewis - Elmar Rader)
« © '55 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
[ Jimmy Gateley ]
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time but that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine but that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed oh I thought I'd been loved but that was before I met you

I wanted to ramble and always be free but that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me but that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging...
[ guitar - steel ] They tell me I must reap just what I have sown but darling I hope it's not true
For once I made plans about living alone but that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging...

NICKELS QUARTERS AND DIMES

(Bill Anderson - Jimmy Gateley)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ Jimmy Gateley ]
I just took my last ten dollars from my pocket
I said I'd like some change if you don't mind
The bartender asked me how I'd like it
I said nickels quarters and dimes

I spread my silver out across the table
I said money get her off my mind
I thumbed the cash in all of my old mem'ries
With these nickels quarters and dimes

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox
And quarters buy me wine wine wine

Now there's seven empty bottles on the table
Money's runnin' short and so is time
Turn the jukebox up and I'll drink faster
Hurry nickels quarters and dimes

I just noticed the waitress has the same first name as you do
And on the jukebox why I'd recognize you're singin' anytime
But I didn't know till now they put your picture
On nickels quarters and dimes

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox
And quarters buy me wine wine wine
And quarters buy me wine wine wine

USED TO

(Bill Anderson)
« © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
[ Terry White ]
People tell me I don't look as good as I used to
And they say I don't act as nice as I used to
But they don't know the heartbreak and the pain I've gone through
I'm not loved by the woman who used to

Somebody else lives in the same house used to
And he kisses the same lips used to
My ex calls him darling and all I can do
Is pretend but there's really on used to

I used to think life was a song
If it is I've been singing it wrong
World please forgive anything I might do
But it's more than my heart can get used to
[ steel ] World please forgive anything I might do
But it's more than my heart can get used to
Yes it's more than my heart can get used to
