KEEP ME IN MIND

(Glenn Sutton - George Richey) « © '72 Peer Music, BMI »
When everything right seems to go wrong
Your heart wants to sing but it can't find a song
When it seems that the world has left you behind
Keep me in mind

When you think that life is just passing you by
You look but you can't find a reason to try
When it seems that a friend is so hard to find
Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind cause I'll never stop loving you
And as long as I live I'll have love to give
And I'll give it all to you just you

When the dreams that you've chased have all gotten away
And you stand at the end of a long lonely day
You will never be far from these arms of mine
Keep me in mind

When the dreams that you've chased have all gotten away...

PASS ME BY (IF YOU'RE ONLY PASSING THROUGH)

(Hillman Hall) « © '72 Leahrae Music, BMI »
Would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake to make
A bridge to burn to get to someone new
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through

You sure look like the traveling kind to me
But don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
Now I don't know what you think you run into
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
[ steel ] I'm not gonna be a stepping stone
Among the other hearts that you've walked on
Lord help me if I fall in love with you
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through

I BELIEVE IN MUSIC

(Mac Davis) « © '71 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Song Painter Music, BMI »
I could just sit around making music all day long
As long as I'm making music I know I can't do nobody wrong
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song
That makes people wanna stop their fussin' and fightin'
Just long enough to sing along

I believe in music I believe in love
I believe in music I believe in love

Music is love love is music if you know what I mean
People who believe in music are the happiest I've ever seen
So clap your hands stomp your feet shake your tambourine
And lift your voices to the sky God loves you when you sing

I believe in music I believe in love...

Music is the universal language and love is the key
To brotherhood and peace and understanding and living in harmony
So take your brother by the hand and sing along with me
And find out what it really means to be young and rich and free

I believe in music I believe in love...
I believe in music I believe in love...

JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US

(Liz Anderson) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, NMI »
People think it's wonderful our love can be so true
You'll never say an angry word no matter what I do
And I have so much faith you I trust you anywhere
But the reason if they only knew is that we just don't care

Just between the two of us let's live up this fantasy
For we no longer care enough to even disagree
Everybody envies us and the way we get along
But just between the two of us we know our love is gone
[ steel ] Wish we could go back again to the days that used to be
We fought a lot but even then I knew you cared for me
Now we get along so well no teardrops ever fall
But there's no love no anything there's nothing left at all

Just between the two of us...

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

(Steve Goodman) « © '69 Jurisdat Music, ASCAP / Turnpike Tom Music, ASCAP »
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no names and switchyards full of old black men
Of graveyards full of the rusted automobiles

Good mornin' America how are ye
Say don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

I see old men playing poker in a club car
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
They pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor
And the sons of poor men porters and the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep are rocking to that gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Good mornin' America how are ye...

Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
Half way home and we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again the passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues

Oh good night America how are ye...

HOME IS WHERE I HANG MY HEAD

(Liz Anderson) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Home is where you're loved by someone
So I guess that I don't have one
For now your love for me is dead
So home is where I hang my head

Home is where there is no place light
Home where nothing I can do right
Once my castle now instead
Home is where I hang my head
[ steel ] Someone loved me long ago there
Now no one loves me that I know there
It's home I've turned with footsteps slow
When there's no place else to go

Home is where there is no place light...

PERFECT MATCH

(Glenn Sutton - Ben Peters) « © '72 Algee Music, BMI / Peer Music, BMI »
I look across my morning cup of coffee
And see an angel smiling back at me
And I think of how your lovin' seems to fit just like a glove
And your disposition suits me to a T

And nothing gives me greater satisfaction
Than knowing that you feel the way you do
It makes my life worth living and I get a thrill from giving
All my love to you and only you

You and me together we're a perfect match
In each other we have found a perfect catch
Like two ol' birds on the eggs of happiness knowin' they're gonna hatch
You and me together we're a perfect match
[ guitar ] You know just what I need and when I need it
With you contentment it wasn't hard to find
And though we have our problems we let love and kindness solve 'em
You think that we could read each other's mind

Sometimes I think that we should start all over
We wouldn't want to change a thing
Through the good times and the bad ones just a few real sad ones
We found happiness that only true love brings

You and me together we're a perfect match...
You and me together we're a perfect match

WHO COULD I TURN TO

(Hal Bynum - Jim Kandy) « © '72 Andite Invasion, BMI »
I know any feeling you may have ever felt for me is gone
Oh I'm a fool but I'm not fool enough to try to keep on hanging on
But today the world is giving me a hard time
I need someone to help me to ease my mind
And loving you the way I do who could I turn to but you

Time and time again I stayed away although God knows I needed you
If you'd just be with me tonight I swear that's all I'll ever ask of you
I just can't face another night alone
I've gone as far as I can all night on
And loving you the way I do who could I turn to

I just can't face another night alone
I've gone as far as I can on my own
And loving you the way I do who could I turn to but you

RODEO COWBOY

(Glen Sutton) « © '72 Peer Music, BMI »
I meet him in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo
Just a kid in pigtails and thirteen at the time
I remember how I cheered the day he rode a horse called Midnight
And I vowed that someday that cowgirl could be mine

Followed him to Denver where we became good friends
We'd sit around the cutes and talk while he was killin' time
He'd laugh and tell me stories but he'd never mention stayin'
For the next town and the rodeo were always on his mind

He's a rodeo cowboy he follows the circuit
Where top money's paid that's where he'll be found
The only thing he owns is a horse and silver saddle
Rodeo cowboy he'll never settle down
[ guitar ] In Salt Lake City Utah he told her that he loved her
But still I knew he wasn't born to be the settling kind
For with tomorrow's sun he'd pack up his ol' suitcase
And leave all thoughts of me and love a hundred miles behind

The last time that I saw him was in Amarillo Texas
I'm still in love with him although he can't be mine
But I'll always keep the shinny silver buckle that he gave me
Reads All Around Cowboy of 1969

He's a rodeo cowboy he follows the circuit...
