SIX DAYS A WAITING

(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery - Flowers) « © '66 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Well he rode that old truck out six days ago
I just stood and I listened till I couldn't hear a roar no more
I've been waitin' for him at night if you think I'm lonesome you're right
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight

I keep real busy all day and tired all the night
I just scrub and I polish everything there is in sight
Then I keep a walkin' to the door waitin' for that truck to roar
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight
[ guitar ] Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta fellas but there's none like my guy
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight

Well here I am a lookin' out that door again
Well I thought I heard that old truck turning in
Lookin' on this slickest night if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days a waitin' and he's gonna make it home tonight
Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight
Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight

OLD HEART GET READY

(Scott Turner - Chris Roberts) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Old heart get ready we're gonna have company
A lot of old friends will drop by
It won't be long till they come a callin' on us
Old heart you and I

So you better get ready we' re gonna have trouble
And I'd run if I could I'm not proud
Well now he's comin' ain't gonna be long
Old heart before we have a crowd

When the blues come a callin' they always bring trouble
Along with a worried mind
Along with the blues comes a hurtin' too
And the tears ain't far behind

So you'd better get ready we're gonna start hurtin'
And the night's will get lonelier yet
With a little bit of time if we don't lose our mind
We may find a way to forget
[ guitar ] So you better get ready we' re gonna have trouble
And I'd run If I could I'm not proud
Well now he's comin' ain't gonna be long
Old heart before we have a crowd

Old heart get ready we're gonna have company...
So you'd better get ready we're gonna start hurtin'...
So you'd better get ready we're gonna start hurtin'...

ANYMORE

(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Go ahead and fool around with every girl in town
I don't care anymore
Go ahead and laugh at me just you wait and see
I won't cry anymore

Cause I been hurt before and then I swore
I never give my heart anymore
[ guitar ] Go ahead and give a whirl to every untrue girl
I won't see anymore
I hope you learn as time goes by the way it feel to cry
I don't care anymore

Go ahead and fool around with every girl in town
I don't care anymore
I won't see anymore
I don't care anymore

DON'T TALK TROUBLES TO ME

(Scott Turner - Chris Roberts) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Don't talk to me about troubles you've known
I've seen a few had some of my own
You're not alone in your misery
So don't talk troubles to me

I know what it's like to be lonely
To live in a room of just walls
I know what it's like in the still of the night
To hear the silence of a star when it falls
[ steel ] I know what it's like to feel sadness
And I can't count the nights I have cried
I know what it's like to feel the chill of the night
For there's no warmth in the dreams that have died

Don't talk to me about troubles you've known...
No don't talk troubles to me

TRAPPED

(Red Simpson - Dusty Rhodes) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
You've got me trapped by two lips that keep begging me to stay
Trapped by two arms that won't let me walk away
You don't love me but you don't want me to go
You've got me trapped with a hopeless love I know

I keep saying that I'm gonna leave someday
That you're not gonna hurt me anymore
But I'd be back before my footsteps fade away
And I'd be under your spell just like before

You've got me trapped...
[ steel ] And so foolishly I keep hanging on to you
Even though I know you hurt me just once more
But what the use to go I couldn't stay
I'd be back to you before you close the door

You've got me trapped...

ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET

(Buck Owens) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home
I'm gonna treat you like the VIP like you ain't never known
I'm gonna have a brass band at the station
I'm gonna let 'em know what the united nation
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

Well I think I hear old 99 around in the bend
And I know it won't be long until you're in my arms again
I'm a gonna love you hug and kiss you
I'm a gonna let you know how much I miss you
I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet...
[ guitar ] Well I worn out my best shoes a walking the floor
And I won't sleep a wink till you knock on my door
Yeah I heard the words that you're a comin'
The clock on the wall is about stop runnin'
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet...

I CRIED AT YOUR WEDDING

(Robert Mosly - Johnny Rebel) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
I received one night your invitation
I would have given you my congratulation
But someone else was standing by your side
And I cried and I cried and I cried

I cried and I cried at your wedding
I couldn't keep the tears from my eyes
I cried and I cried at your wedding
I thought I was to be the lucky bride
[ steel - guitar ] When she came down the aisle she was smiling
You seemed to be so happy too
And I cried and I saw she was wearing
Something old something new something borrowed something blue

I cried and I cried at your wedding...

HONKY TONK HEARTACHE

(Scott Turner - Chris Roberts) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
I stopped by a honky tonk just to use a phone
You werein a corner booth looking so alone
I stopped just to say helo and made my first mistake
For sitting in that corner was a honky tonk heartache

You're just a honky tonk heartache that's all you'll ever be
I gave up my foolish hope that you'd start loving me
For I no longer spend the life the way you like to live
I know your honky tonk heart in every heartache you can give
[ steel ] What a fool I was to think that you would ever change
And even with the marriage vow everything's the same
The sun goes down the lights come on the music's turned up loud
You'll leave our home to go along to your honky tonk crowd

You're just a honky tonk heartache...
I know your honky tonk heart in every heartache you can give

BE NICE TO EVERYBODY

(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner) « © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
There you go driving in your big long car
You got a house overlooking the town
But be nice to everybody on your way up
You're gonna need 'em again coming down

You don't even speak when we pass on the street
You don't even know your old friends
But don't get too proud you're gonna need the old crowd
Cause we all remember you when

Well there you go driving...
[ guitar - steel ] Not long ago you crossed over the tracks
And now you don't know me at all
It takes a long time you know for a big tree to grow
But just a few seconds to fall

Well there you go driving...
Yeah there you go driving...
You're gonna need 'em again coming down
You're gonna need 'em again coming down

SHE DIDN'T COLOR DADDY

(Scott Turner - Ray Warren) « © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
I'm with my little girl the only friend left in the world
So I gave her a book to color on
Just to pass the time away this had been her longest day
Everything is lonely with him gone

I laughed when I first looked at the pictures in her book
The way she colored everything all wrong
But this chill came over me as I realized that she
Had colored things as she felt they belong

She colored mommy blue with brown eyes crying
She made our house as grey as the dawn
She made the sun as black as night as if to say it had no light
But she didn't color daddy cause he's gone

Oh yes I'm so blue and I've been crying
And our home is as grey as the dawn
And the sun it gives no light every day is like the night
And she didn't color daddy cause he's gone
Oh no she didn't color daddy cause he's gone
