If you're among the fortunate folks who've been exposed to the simple warmth and sincerity of a Buddy Cagle, get some today... If that sounds like a commercial, believe it, because you just can't get this kind anymore! Buddy Cagle is the country kid who was raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on country music and kind hearts. It rubbed off on him, both the country music and the kind heart. And then there was Don Sessions. This is the man who recognized Buddy as a potential diamond when he heard him sing in Santa Rosa, California. He promptly invited Buddy to move to Hollywood, where Don is active in promotion and publishing. Today, Buddy is a key artist in the powerhouse plans of Imperial Records in country music. Buddy Cagle has one of the most exceptional voices in the business, and you know, it shows ! His way of caring for a song makes it something special to anyone who hears it. From Be Nice To Everybody to Wild Side Of Life. In this, Buddy's first Imperial album, you'll live the moods of a singer who has an honest feeling for the songs he sings. He'' lived a lot in his time, this young man, and his expressions are so vivid you'll find yourself the subject of the song, and suddenly, Buddy's singing to you. Enjoy this refreshing breath of country air. But I warn you, you may be the victim of that special "good guy" spell this soft-spoken "boy next door" weaves. Buddy loves it ! I'll bet you'll find the feeling is mutual... That's my Buddy!

TONIGHT I'M COMING HOME
(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner)« © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
Get ready for some kissin' the lovin' that you've been a missin'
Honey this is me and tonight I'm comin' home
Well if the phone should ring just let it tell the other guys forget it
From now on you're not free cause tonight I'm comin' home
I've been gone such a long long time you were always on my mind
Gonna make up for all of those lonely days cause I'm comin' home to stay
Stop the paper you won't need it cause you won't have time to read it
All your time belongs to me cause tonight I'm comin' home
[ guitar - harmonica ] I've been gone such a long long time you were always on my mind
Gonna make up for all of those lonely days cause I'm comin' home to stay
Get ready for some kissin' the lovin' that you've been a missin'
Honey this is me and tonight I'm comin' home
Honey this is me and tonight I'm comin' home

HELP'S ON THE WAY
(Scott Turner - Coy Zeigler)« © '66 Irving Music, BMI »
If you're thinking that you might go out on the town tonight
If you're lonesome and you need someone to hold you tight
If you're thinking that the night life might make you feel gay
Lock all the door pull down the shades help's on the way
If the telephone starts ringin' just let it ring
And if you hear the doorbell don't say a thing
Hang a note out on the frontdoor gone for today
Then lock all the doors pull down the shades help's on the way
Don't do nothin' you might regret later
Get a good house keepin' magazine and read
Then look at my picture on the mantel
Well they might be just the things that you'll need
If the sun goes down and you don't feel no better
Just remember that I'm a coming home to stay
But before you go to bed and cover up your head
Lock all the doors pull down the shades help's on the way
[ guitar ] Don't do nothin' you might regret later...
Well if the sun goes down and you don't feel no better...

WILD SIDE OF LIFE
(William Warren - Arlie A. Carter)« © '51 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something that I've just got to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
It hurts me to know that you don't love me
And I know that our love is forever gone
And it just killed my soul and pride deep inside me
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels...

JACK OF ALL TRADES
(Curtis Leach - Don Sessions)« © '66 Black Jack Publishing, BMI »
Well my dad he was a rambler he just couldn't settle down
We always lived a carefree life from town to boomer town
My mother often told me like father like son
You'll be a jack of all trades and master of none
Then I soldiered for adventures fought for what I thought was right
They cited me for bravery cause I held a hill one night
But it wasn't really bravery I was just too scared to run
Yeah I'm a jack of all trades and master of none
[ guitar ] Then I rode a bronc in Dallas and I thought star was poor
I was gonna be king of cowboys and take the world by storm
Well I changed my mind in Denver the day that Bramer won
Yeah I'm a jack of all trades and master of none
Then I made the great wheat harvest I rough necked through the south
I lost a glove in Reno dealin' blackjack for the house
Now this is my first record and when it's number one
I won't be jack of all trades I'll have finally mastered one

I FORGOT MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW
(Cecil Null)« © '53 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You think you know the smile on her lips
The thrill at the touch of her fingertips
Oh but I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
In each caress and each tender kiss
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You stole her love from me one day and you didn't care how you hurt me
But you can never steal away mem'ries of what used to be
Yes you think she's yours to have and to hold
But someday you'll learn when her love grows cold
That I forgot more than you'll ever know about her

WHO YOU GONNA BELIEVE
(Dave Burgess)« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Even though you caught me here with someone new
It doesn't really mean that I have been untrue
And even though you thought you heard us breathin' sighs
Who you gonna believe me or your eyes
You always said that you'd place all your faith in me
So don't believe a single thing you think you see
Well I'm not enjoyin' this at all you'd be surprised
Who you gonna believe me or your eyes
If you saw me kissin' her awhile ago
Well that's just a friendly way for me to say hello
Well I realize the way it looks is not so good
So I'd appreciate your understandin' if you would
So don't believe the things you see the one you love denies
Who you gonna believe me or your eyes
[ dobro - guitar ] If you saw me kissin' her awhile ago...
Who you gonna believe me or your eyes

BE NICE TO EVERYBODY
(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner)« © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
There you go drivin' in your big long car
You got a house overlooking the town
But be nice to everybody on your way up
You're gonna meet 'em again coming down
Well you don't even speak when we pass on the street
You don't even know your old friends
But don't get too proud you're gonna need the old crowd
Cause we all remember you when
Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
[ dobro - harmonica ] Not long ago you crossed over the tracks
And now you don't know me at all
It takes a long time you know for a big tree to grow
But just a few seconds to fall
Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
Yeah be nice to everybody on your way up
You're gonna meet 'em again coming down

APOLOGIZE
(Freddie Hart)« © '66 Unart Catalog, BMI »
So call her up you crazy fool and apologize
She's the only one to wipe those teardrops from your eyes
I'm your conscience talkin' this time I'm on her side
So call her up you crazy fool and apologize
That's all it would take to bring your darlin' back to you
Beggin' her forgiveness that's the least that you can do
You made it yourself the bed of thorns you're sleepin' on
And I'll bet she's home a waitin' by her telephone
Oh call her up you crazy fool and apologize...
Now every night you curse the day that you were ever born
And your heart cries out for love that you've so badly torn
For you can't forget too much of her rubbed off on you
Before you lose all your mind there's one thing left to do
Oh call her up you crazy fool and apologize...
Oh call her up you crazy fool and apologize...
Call her up you crazy fool and apologize

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS TAKING THINGS AWAY FROM ME
(Steve Karliski - Rayburn Anthony)« © '66 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I remember long ago when I'd be sent outside to play
It seemed some kids would always come around and take my favorite toys away
People are always taking things away from me
I just can't understand it why they won't let me be
It seems I never get to keep the things that I've always loved the best
People couldn't stand to see somebody find a little share of happiness
People are always taking things...
Well then you came along and gave your love to me and it made up for all the past
And I thought that I'd found something I could get to keep at last
But here I am again with nothing left but this broken heart I own
Someone came along and took away your love the sweetest thing I've ever known
People are always taking things away from me
And now they've even taking your sweet love away
People are always taking things away from me

DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED
(Baker Knight)« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well don't look so surprised you knew I'd be here
Your darlin' lover boy is back again
You knew I couldn't stand it long without you
So open up the door and let me in
Well I guess that everybody came to tell you
That I was runnin' round with someone new
Well now don't look so surprised you know you left me
And what else could I do but run to you
Well darling you don't know how much I sit and cried for you
On top of that I'm hungry and I'm out of money too
Well don't look so surprised I brought my suitcase
Yeah and all my dirty clothes are in the bag
Well darling I came right on back to tell you
That life without your love has been a drag
[ piano - dobro ] Well darling you don't know...
Yeah life without your love have been a drag

ONE TOO MANY
(Curtis Leach - Don Sessions)« © '66 Black Jack Publishing, BMI »
How many times have you had one too many
And said things that had long been on your mind
The next day you were sorry till the next time
That one drink brought the past back to mine
Then one too often I had one too many
I finally broke her heart beyond repair
At the time I think I knew that I'd be sorry
But I had one too many to care
One too many times I hurt her and she left me
Now walk in any tavern I'll be there
Sitting all alone a table havin' one too many to care
[ steel ] One too many times I've hurt her...

HONKY TONK COLLEGE
(Don McLeod)« © '66 Nashville Music, BMI »
Since you up and left me I've got time to burn
Pickin' up on all the things that I never learned
To complete my education so I'll know wrong from right
Well I've been bold at night school and I'm crammin' every night
I'm a goin' to honky tonk college tryin' to get ahead
you can see how hard I study my eyes are always red
I'm goin' to honky tonk college gettin' smart
Down here in honky tonk college the school of broken hearts
Well I'm majoring in heartbreak mixed with sparklin' wine
The title of my text book is This Broken World Of Mine
I see each problem clearer each time I lift the glass
And when it comes to teardrops I'm leadin' my whole class
I'm a goin' to honky tonk college majoring in regret
I'm a learnin' to remember to learn how to forget
I'm goin' to honky tonk college gettin' smart
Down here in honky tonk college the school of broken hearts
[ dobro - harmonica ] I picked this special college when every thing went wrong
Every class room lecture is a lonesome jukebox song
Filled with bitter wisdom but I'm learnin' not to cry
Each time that I remember that you have said goodbye
I'm a goin' to honky tonk college where every man's my friend
Hopin' that my broken heart will mend itself again
I'm goin' to honky tonk college gettin' smart
Down here in honky tonk college the school of broken hearts
Down here in honky tonk college the school of broken hearts
