NEVER EVER

(Liz Anderson - Donna Austin)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'll never never never never never never never never
Never ever never ever I know I'll never never ever
Never never never ever never love again
For ever ever ever ever after ever ever after
Yes for ever after ever after
I will never ever love again

I tried and tried and tried and tried you know you know how hard I tried
But you were never saitis you were never really satisfied
And so I sat and sat and cried and cried the whole night long
Somehow somehow it doesn't matter doesn't matter matter now
It doesn't matter anyhow cause anyway I look at it you're gone

I'll never never never never never never never never...

They say they say they say they say they say
There's something that I've heard them say
I know there's something that they say now what the heck is it they say
Oh I remember now they say that I'll find someone new
You'll pay you'll pay someday you'll pay someday you're gonna really pay
I know someday you're gonna pay if ev'rything I've heard them say is true

You broke it broke it broke it broke it oh you dropped my heart and broke it
Oh you dropped my heart and broke it and you broke it into pieces
Oh you broke my heart in pieces yes my heart you broke in two
You're free you're free you're free from me and free from me you'll always be
And now you'll now you'll see you'll see
How you like me being free from me we're through

I'll never never never never never never never never...
I'll never never never never never never never never...

TINY TEARS

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Little eyes cried on and on you never could have gone)
If you had seen your babies cry those little tiny tears

I guess you didn't see them by the door
They stood just barely two feet from the floor
They watched you go until you disappeared
Then after that could not hold back their little tiny tears

Tiny tears they couldn't keep from falling
Little ears heard more than they should hear
Little eyes cried on and on you never could have gone
If you had seen your babies cry those little tiny tears

The tears that fell they made no sound at all
But then they hadn't very far to fall
Our little ones seemed older than their years
The way they tried so hard to hide those little tiny tears

Tiny tears they couldn't keep from falling...

I'M A LONESOME FUGITIVE

(Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(I'm on the run the highway is my home)

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
While mama used to pray my crops would fail
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rollin' stone
Down ev'ry road there's always one more city
I'm on the run the highway is my home
[ guitar - steel ] I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of having one I love to come along
He'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone

I'd like to settle down but they won't let me...
[ guitar ] I'm on the run the highway is my home

ON YOUR WAY TO GONE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Someone means a lot to you there's hardly any doubt
The more I think about it the less there is to think about
You don't love me anymore you been so cold so long
And now you're walkin' out the door on your way to gone

There can be for you and me no more happiness
The heart is gone from sweetheart and the you is gone from us
Still when you walk out that door you'll be walkin' on
The pieces of my shattered heart on your way to gone
[ steel ] Now I'm standing helplessly for both my hands are tied
At almost any moment you will walk out of my life
Into someone else's arms where you don't belong
I love you so and there you go on your way to gone

There can be for you and me no more happiness...

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh hear the chimes ringing it's Christmas again
With tidings of peace and good will to all men
So greet ev'ry stranger and make him your friend
For that is the spirit of Christmas

(Christmas time Christmas time
Listen there's bells in your heart)
This I know love must flow
For love is the spirit of Christmas

In Bethlehem's manger in years long grown dim
The Christ child was born so our love he might win
So open your heart out and let him come in
For he is the spirit of Christmas

(Christmas time Christmas time...
Love is the spirit of Christmas

RIDE RIDE RIDE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied
If you don't care get on your hoss and ride ride ride

Since you got on your high horse those fancy friends you've found
You've had a hard time seein' me you're always lookin' down

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

You talk about me honey you try to tear me down
But while you're throwin' dirt at me you're slowly losin' ground

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

(Rap ta ta ta tap tap...)

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

I'll have your second fiddle returned to you today
Cause baby that's one instrument I've never learned to play


If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...
Ride ride ride (rap ta ta ta tap tap...)

CHISELER

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh you chiseler you I'm so in love with you
I can't explain the feelings that I feel
The only prints you leave behind on the sands of time
Will be the marks of a heel

When I gave you my hand my heart was in it
In your own way I know you love me too
Still I can't help but worry ev'ry minute
When you say being honest pays but not enough for you

Oh you chiseler you I'm so in love with you...

Your credit's bad can't even borrow trouble
You'd rather take a friend than take a job
But one by one they'll all know you talk double
Then if and when you need a friend you'll have to buy a dog

Oh you chiseler you why do I care for you
You're such a cad it's just about unreal
The only prints you leave behind on the sands of time
Will be the marks of a heel

When you gave me that table for my birthday
For once you told the truth and that's a fact
You said that it went back to Louie the fourteen
And on the fourteenth Louie came and Louie took it back

Oh you chiseler you I'm so in love with you...
Oh you chiseler you I'm so in love with you...

COME WALK IN MY SHOES

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you have never gone to where you don't belong
Come walk in my shoes a while
If you don't know the pain of love that's all in vain
Come walk in my shoes a while

I tried to live in your world and found I don't fit in
Instead I've been neglected that's where I've been
If you have never seen a world without a dream
Ccome walk in my shoes a while
[ steel ] If you have never cried for love that lived and died
Come walk in my shoes a while
If you have never gone to where you can't go on
Come walk in my shoes a while

You think my eyes look lonely from cryin' all the time
If they look sad from your side you should see them from mine
If you have never seen the end of ev'rything
Come walk in my shoes a while
Come walk in my shoes a while

GRANDMA'S HOUSE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The house stands deserted with weeds overgrown
The windows are broken and bare
But it holds all the mem'ries my childhood has known
For my own sweet grandma lived there

And when I was lonely to grandma I'd run
And she'd hold me close for a while
One flick of a kiss she could turn on the sun
And dry all my tears with one smile

My grandma's ole rocker still stands in the hall
Of the house that's so shabby and ole
But in that humble house between those battered walls
Was more happiness than it could hold

Then when I grew older it came grandma's time
To leave all the world and its care
He needed a grandma and so he took mine
To love all those children up there

The porch now is sagging the paint is all gone
It stands all alone without care
But it holds all the mem'ries my childhood has known
For my own sweet grandma lived there

IF I KISS YOU (WILL YOU GO AWAY)

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I kiss you will you go away
Like in the game my mother used to play
You're so much hurt I wish you wouldn't stay
If I kiss you will you go away

My mom would come when I'd get hurt at play
She'd kiss my hurt and it would go away
But now I'm grown I don't know what to do
I've never known a bigger hurt than you

If I kiss you will you go away...

I've seen a kiss make sorrow disappear
A kiss can dry away the biggest tear
A kiss can make a heartache vanish to
I don't see why it wouldn't work on you

If I kiss you will you go away...

NEVER IS A LONG LONG DAY

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Never never)

Love's gone away so now you say you'll never love again
Love's hurt you so and you just know the pain will never end
You feel like this and never is an easy word to say
But never is a long long day

Never say never whatever you say
Bever is a long long long lonesome day

Is not the shore made up of more than just one grain of sand
Does not the day give more away than just one hour to spend
And love's the same you think the pain will never go away
But never is a long long day

Never say never whatever you say
Never is a long long long lonesome day
Never is a long long long lonesome day

BEHIND MY BACK

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I feel I'm safe in sayin' you don't love me
Behind my back you cheated constantly
You're even braver now I've seen you run around
Behind my back right in front of me

Don't need a crystal ball to see
It's over don't need a ton of bricks to fall on me
I know your love is gone the way you carry on
Behind my back right in front of me

I've searched your face for any signs of feeling
But not one ounce of love is there to see
You couldn't love me too and do the things you do
Behind my back right in front of me
