LISTEN TO A COUNTRY SONG

(James Massina - Alan Garth)
« © '72 Jasperilla Music, ASCAP »
It's Saturday night and my daddy's up late pickin' with my uncle Bill
The neighbors don't mind cause they have a good time sippin' on my pappy's still
Old brother Ben got a fiddle in his hands and mama's on the mandolin
When the music is right and the band is tight you wanna see 'em pick and grin

Well everybody starts movin' to the sound of the guitar strums
Everybody starts groovin' to the beat of the rhythm and drums
So come on along get yourself really on rock to the music and fun
Sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song

Old sheriff Brown whenever comes around knockin' on a cold backdoor
It's a matter of fact you can find him outback pickin' on his old banjo
My brother Jack sneaks out from the back tryin' to get to sister Sue
Watch him closin' on the ground about turnin' around she knows a little jujitsu

Everybody starts movin'...
[ fiddle - guitar ] Everybody starts movin'...
Just sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song

REASON TO BELIEVE

(Tim Hardin)
« © '67 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI / Allen Stanton Productions, BMI »
If I listened long enough to you I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I looked to find the reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give never thinking of myself

If you took the time to change my mind I'd find the way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I looked to find the reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give never thinking of myself
[ piano ] If I listened long enough to you...

THERE'S A PARTY GOIN' ON

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '72 Algee Music, BMI »
Somewhere a party's goin' on someone's there that should go home
But he's the life of the party so his friends won't let him go oh no
He's havin' a real good time tellin' jokes and drinkin' wine
And if someone's a waitin' for him you'd never know
But at home she's lookin' out the window thinkin' about the good times she remembers
Holdin' back the tears and wishin' he was safe at home
Inside her two lovin' arms that sure do miss him two lips that long to kiss him
And once more whisper baby I love you
Back at the party he's all smiles and his mind is a million miles
From the woman that keeps on lovin' him more and more
One more dance a little more wine he's not too worried about the time
Cause he knows she'll be waitin' there at the door
But at home she's lookin' out the window
Thinkin' about the good times she remembers
Holdin' back the tears and wishin' he was safe at home
Outside she sees the car lights she hears the door and knows he's alright
And though he's been a million places she never looks for lipstick traces
And in her heart she knows he's wrong but she's so glad to have him home
And once more she whispers as a tear falls down she whispers
Once more she whispers I love you

EVERYBODY'S REACHING OUT FOR SOMEONE

(Dickey Lee - Allen Reynolds)
« © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for

Just like the trees along the river band
Lift up the branches to the sun above
We spent our lifetime reaching for a friend
Cause everybody reach someone to love

Everybody's reaching out...
[ guitar ] I wanted you since the day my life began
I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your hand
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine

Everybody's reaching out...
You you're the one that I was reaching for

IF I CAN'T BE YOUR WOMAN

(Gary Stoval - Kent Sprague)
« © '72 Peer Music, BMI »
Young girls think love can be found any night
But a woman knows true love comes once in her life
The moment I saw you I knew we'd was true
That my mind would be empty if I couldn't have you
But you said you were takin' and you won't go away
I know you felt something when you heard me say

If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend
You don't have to caress me just hold my hand
If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend
You're the one that I need my love

I wish I knew the right words to make you change your mind
I would send them with flowers I would write them in rhymes
I don't know where you've been I can't tell where you'll be
But I want you to remember if you ever get free
So until then be happy and go your own way
And the words that you've heard are still true today

If I can't be your woman...
If I can't be your woman...

JUST KEEP IT UP AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

(Otis Blackwell)
« © '72 Unart Catalog, BMI »
One day baby you'll be sorry for the way you make people cry
It's not so funny not really funny one day you'll wake up and realize
Just keep it up just keep it up just keep it up and see what happenes
One day you told me oh how you told me things that made me shake inside
And then you kissed me oh how you kissed me then turned around and said you lie
Just keep it up just keep it up just keep it up and see what happenes
Please stop doing the things you're doing I know we can't get along
Your love could learn out one day you'll see and then your heart will belong to me
Just keep it up just keep it up just keep it up and see what happenes
Just keep it up just keep it up just keep it up and see what happenes
Just keep it up just keep it up just keep it up and see what happenes

(Joe South)
« © '67 ATV Songs, BMI »
Ain't it kinda funny they say a fool never learns play with fire and it always burns
Don't it kinda get you down you treat me worse than before
But I keep comin' back for more
Causet you're a deceiver and I'm a believer it's just a game I know
But I can't seem to let go

So fool me fool me one more time you can fake just for old time's sake
Look in my eyes tell me those lies and just fool me fool me one more time
[ steel ] Don't it make you wonder why I keep playing make believe
Do you really think I'm that naive
Don't it make you sad I'm actin' like I got it made even though it's just a masquerade
Cause you're a deceiver and I'm a believer it's just a game I know
But I can't seem to let go

So fool me fool me one more time...
Fool me fool me one more time...
Come on fool me one more time fool me one more time
Honey fool me one more time fool me one more time

TAKE ME TO YOUR WORLD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
If you can find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
[ piano ] Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

YOU'RE EVERYTHING

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '72 Algee Music, BMI »
Just in case you ever get the feeling that I'm not proud to tell the world you're mine
If you don't think I've built my world around you
Here's my favorite love song one more time

You're my sunshine you're my love you're every single thing I ever dreamed of
You're my moon at night my wrong my right and every song I sing
You're my sunshine you're my world you're everything
[ ac.guitar ] The day you came along I started living every single minute just for you
At last I know that happiness is giving and here's why you affect me like you do

You're my sunshine you're my love...
[ ac.guitar ] You're my sunshine you're my love...

IT DON'T DO NO GOOD TO BE A GOOD GIRL

(Liz Anderson)
« © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I was rated G for goodness I did everything I could yes
Great example for the weaker sex
But I couldn't hold my baby he sure didn't want no lady
He left me for someone rated X

It don't do no good to be a a good girl there ain't no rewards for goodness sake
I swear to you on my peroxide curles it don't do no good to be a a good girl

I sure took a long time knowin' how to keep my brains from showin'
That to play it smart you play it dumb
I don't wanna be no lady wanna be a wee bit shady
Cause the shady ones have all the fun

It don't do no good to be...

Heard it's said that one bad apple spoils it for the other apple
And I guess it's true there ain't no doubt
You can keep your sweet good apple I'd rather be that one bad apple
That's the apple that gets taken out

It don't do no good to be...
It don't do no good to be a a good girl

THAT'S WHAT LOVING YOU HAS MEANT TO ME

(Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Peer Music, BMI »
Did you ever watched a youngster's eyes when you gave him his first puppy
Or see a prisoner smile when the warden says you're free
Or a sinner cry with happiness when the Lord just filled his needs
Well that's what loving you has meant to me

Did you ever stand beside someone when you knew that they were wrong
Or watch an acorn grow into a tree
Did you ever have your ship come in when you thought that it was lost
Well that's what loving you has meant to me

That's what loving you has meant to me
If there's such a place as heaven then this is hit for me
I'll never want somebody new when your world ends then mine ends too
That's what loving you has meant to me

That's what loving you has meant to me...
