YOUR HUSBAND MY WIFE

(Tony Wine - Irwin Levine) « © '69 Sosaha Music, BMI »
He knows I'm true but what he don't know is I'm true to only you
Tell me where does it stop does he know our married life is on the rocks
Now before you say you want me for the rest of your life
Tell me what've we gonna do about your husband
And what've we gonna do about your wife

Speak to your side in the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide
Knowing I'll forever taste all the tears I'll put upon my children's face
Now before I say I want you for the rest of my life
What've we gonna do about my husband
And what've we gonna do about my wife

Shouldn't we stop and look around
Let's think about the hearts we'll be breaking
And though we want each other need each other and we love each other
Think about the move we are making

Oh baby don't you cry no matter what we'll never ever say goodbye
And Bobby I promise you this though I wear his ring I'll always wear his kiss
But don't ask for marriage we can't pay the price
Cause you don't really want to hurt your husband
And you don't really want to hurt your wife
So what've we gonna do about your husband
What've we gonna do about your wife

BEFORE THE SUNRISE

(Jerry McBee) « © '70 ATV Songs, BMI »
I guess I'd better try again to straighten up my tie again before I leave
The party's over the laughter's died there's no one in this room but you and me
Though your lips are honey sweet and you're so close that I can feel your heartbeat

Tears would fill somebody's eyes if we don't make it on before the sunrise
We could make excuses play with all late hours and the wine
Anything we say or do won't keep the sunup comin' up on time

So I guess I'd better turn and go there's one thing that you should know
Babe you're the one
If not that I don't want you too cause you know that you could stay until the dawn
When daylight is breaking when our home whenver day awaken
Tears would fill somebody's eyes if we don't make it on before the sunrise
Tears would fill somebody's eyes if we don't make it on before the sunrise

I GOT YOU

(Ricci Mareno - Gordon Galbraith) « © '68 Music City Music, ASCAP »
Don't get no attention from the people on the street
They don't even see us they just step right on our feet
Two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it I guess that's all we'll ever be

But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me and baby that's all we will ever need

Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Goin' window shopping for the things we can't afford
People all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we're not even there

But I got you...
[ trumpet - steel ] No the world around us hasn't time to know we're near
We don't feel neglected no we'll never shed a tear
We may go unnoticed but we'll never be alone
As long as we're together in a world that's all our own

Cause I got you...
I got you and you got me and baby that's all we will ever need

I'M SO AFRAID OF LOSING YOU AGAIN

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you
I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you again
[ steel ] If heaven word to hear my heart's confession
Wanting you would be my greatest sin
And I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you...
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you again

MY ELUSIVE DREAMS

(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on

Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us move on
And now all we have is each other and a little mem'ry that we could to cling to
But still you won't let me go on alone

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

(Skeeter Davis) « © '70 High Harmony Music, BMI »
Come on baby let's make love not war come on baby what have we fighting for
Don't let a silly fight keep us apart tonight come on baby let's make love not war
Now everytime we fight you know it makes me so sad
But don't say things you know gonna make me mad
Let's hold each other tight and everything will be all right
Come on baby let's make love not war
[ steel ] We fall over silly things that always makes me cry
And babe when I hurt you tears me up inside
Let's take the time to count to ten and we'll be laughin' again
Come on baby let's make love not war
Come on baby let's make love not war come on baby what have we fighting for

TRUER LOVE YOU'LL NEVER FIND

(Red Lane) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You emptied all my pockets you took away my gold
You stripped me of my innocence then leave me in the cold
You robbed me of my patience and you messed up my mind
But we're gonna stick together babe
Cause a truer love you'll never find than mine

You set my very soul on fire and you burned it to the ground
You take my lovely little world and turn it upside down
You robbed me of my patience and you messed up my mind
But we're gonna stick together babe
Cause a truer love you'll never find than mine
We're gonna stick together babe
Cause a truer love you'll never find than mine
Yeah we're gonna stick together babe
Cause a truer love you'll never find than mine

JACKSON

(Billy Ed Wheeler - Gaby Rogers) « © '65 Bexhill Music, ASCAP »
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson I'm gonna mess around
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson look out Jackson town

Well you go on down to Jackson go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand you big talkin' man and make a big fool of yourself
Yeah yeah go to Jackson (I'm goin' baby) but go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson yeah go ahead and see if I care

Oh when I breeze into that city the people gonna stoop and bow
All them Jackson women they're gonna teach me what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson I turn loose to my coat
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson goodbye that's all she wrote (bye bye baby)
[ steel ] They'll be laughin' at you in Jackson and I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
They'll lead you round the town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah yeah go to Jackson you big talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson behind my Japan fan

We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson that's a natural fact
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back

We got married in a fever...
Yeah we got married in a fever...

THERE NEVER WAS A TIME

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis) « © '69 Ragged Island Music, BMI »
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard cause the house would get so hot
From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'
And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos and enjoyed
Your backyard concerts for we had no television

We'd just begun our life as man and wife and hard ships then
Could scaresly scare us into quittin'
Things were far from bein' fine we often dined upon a dime
There never was a time we didn't love

The Christmas brought us saddest days when your pride gave a way you told the kids
There'd be no gifts cause we were broke
Though their little tears of grief was so hard to see it didn't hurt me
Like the love I knew was in your throat

It was then with arms entwined we both broke down and cried
For it seemed ike nothing good would ever come
The doctor bills we couldn't pay they came and took our car away
There never was a time we didn't love

Now there's an easy chair for my back and satin pillows for your head
And the kids are wild about the brand new cars
You and I can order steak with all the trimmings and not worry
If we've spent a dollar more than we could spare

No wonder in your prayers we've thanked the man upstairs who led us through
The years of ragin' kids and payin' bills
And I think he guied us not because we were smart but just because
There never was a time we didn't love
There never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love
Never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love
