WISHFUL THINKING
(Wynn Stewart)
« © '58 Jat Music, BMI »
Wishing I could see you again dear that the fire of love would burn once more
But I guess that's wishful thinking and too much to be wishing for
Just thinking how you once kissed me wishing that hadn't meant goodbye
But I guess that's wishful thinking now I know why some people cry
I'll just live my life in dreams and long for your love
It's you I'm wishing for and it's you I'm thinking of
My heart echoes the love words you spoken
How I wish I could hear them from you
Please make my wishful thinking come true

ONE YOU SLIP AROUND WITH
(Harlan Howard - Owen Charles)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I have the key to heaven when we married
And for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And every night you share another's kiss
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
And be the one who's dream of love is gone
Yes I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone
[ guitar ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears must fall before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return
But I'd rather be the one...

LOVE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME
(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Tommy Blake)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'd never known a heartache since the first day that we met
They said them blues would come around someday you forget
I can't recall the simul time I've wanted to be free
Yes I'm still yours you're still mine love's been good to me
God was so good to me that gave me you
But how could I feel different when you've been so true
I can't recall...
[ guitar ]
God was so good...

THREE CHEERS FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
(Carl Belew - Dave Burgess)
« © '59 Ominor Music, BMI »
Three cheers for the red white and blue
A dozen long stem roses the white gown look good on you
You see me at your wedding I was there and I was blue
Three cheers for the red white and blue
The warm red lips I used to kiss your eyes of blue I'll always miss
The dress you wear so white and new three cheers for the red white and blue
Three cheers for the red...
I hope your world stays rosy red the sky is blue above your head
Clouds of white I wish for you three cheers for the red white and blue
Three cheers for the red...

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON
(Hank Locklin)
« © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on (that you dream on)
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on (that you dream on)
So darling I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on (that you dream on)
So darling I can dream on it too
(Send me the pillow that you dream on) so darling I can dream on it too
(Send me the pillow that you dream on)

WHERE DO I GO (WHEN I GET TO WHERE I'M GOING)
(Carl Belew - Bob Jennings)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'd like to say that I'm okay life is still worth livin'
But it's my fault that you're not here you did all the given
My memories bother me and there's no way of knowing
Where do I go when I get to where I'm going
I'm gonna try to loose myself someday close some city
Cause I keep lookin' at my past it's not very pretty
My memories bother me...
[ guitar ]
Well when I look back I don't see how you stood by me so long
You'd smile on me and cheer me up when everything went wrong
I lost your love it's plain to see and there's no way of knowing
Where do I go when I get to where I'm going
Where do I go when I get to where I'm going

MAKE UP YOUR MIND (AND SAY YES)
(Carl Belew)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
That's right it's me again I thought I'd call and say hello
I just have to hear your sweet voice and the thing you should know
I have a little question that concerns our happiness
Just listen to your heart make up your mind and say yes
Make up your mind and say yes please say you love me too
I'll hang up the phone and wait here for you
Don't even try to answer now don't even try and less
Your heart keeps tellin' you make up your mind and say yes
[ guitar ]
Make up your mind...

LITTLE MISS HEARTACHE
(Carl Belew - Tommy Blake)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You got a reputation goin' all over town
For buildin' up a love affair so you can't tear it down
The hearts you've stepped on one by one are prices that you'd pay
But still I'm so in love with you my little Miss Heartache
Little Miss Heartache they call you and I know it's true
Little Miss Heartache you're lovely in your shades of blue
The hearts you've stepped on...
[ guitar ]
Someday I know you'll fall for someone I hope it's me
And all the other loves you've known are just a memory
A world that's filled with happiness is here for you to stay
Please let me be the next in line I love you Miss Heartache
Little Miss Heartache...

THREE CHEERS FOR THE LOSER
(Carl Belew)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Now gather round me blues I'd like to make a toast
That's all extent three cheers to a guy that lost the most
I don't want your pitty or your simpathy
Three cheers for the loser that's me
Now the blues I stand before you and I'm still hurtin' yet
And everything I've been through you know I won't forget
That I take it like a man though I set her free
Three cheers for the loser that's me
I sat out to win her knowing I might lose
I didn't think I'll end up talking to the blues
The only thing she didn't take is a haunting memory
Three cheers for the loser that's me
I sat out to win her...

JUST OUT OF REACH
(Virgil F. Stewart)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm just out of reach of my two empty arms
That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep
So far away from lips so sweet and warm just out of reach of my two empty arms

YOU'RE THE ONLY GOOD THING
(Jack Toombs - Chuck Gregory)
« © '54 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
Are you thinking that I wasn't meant for you
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue
Oh listen sweetheart it just cannot be
Cause you're the only good thing that happened to me
We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
Cause you're the only good thing that happened to me
[ guitar ]
If you ever may think that I don't love you
That I'm not satisfied with the things that you do
I want you to know and please understand
There's nothing in this world worth the touch of your hand
We've had our ups and downs...
