I FELL IN LOVE

Hey I hit town without a clue
Minding my business like I always do
Just my luck I ran smack in to you
And I never could've known it would be like this
You got the kind of charm that I can't resist
I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two

But I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for) oh I fell in love
Took me by surprise put me on the floor
Right between the eyes with a two by four
Just a little taste and I fell in love

I was doin' fine out on my own
Never sittin' home by the telephone
I couldn't complain that I didn't have much to do
I was a two fisted woman looking for a fight
Had a boy on my left a boy on the right
But you burned me up like a chicken at a barbeque

But I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for) oh I fell in love
Didn't see it coming in to view I was overwhelmed and overdue
I ain't gonna sweat it I feel in love oohee
[ guitar ] Well I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for) oh I fell in love
Caught me on the blind side unaware
I may be a fool but I don't care
I never knew what hit me I fell in love

Oh I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love (whatcha wanna do that for) oh I fell in love
Tryin' to visualize what's wrong with me
Got me hypnotized I cannot see
Boy you really got me I fell in love
I fell in love I fell in love oh I fell in love

COME ON BACK

(Carlene Carter) « © '90 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
You been out there layin' low in every dive from here to Memphis
Lookin' for something to fill the hole in your poor little heart and keep out the cold
Why does love have to hurt so bad to drive a man downtown every night
I tell ya something ain't right something's real wrong
In the mornin' when I wake up you'll still be gone

Come on back to the one who really loves you baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares baby come on back to me

Chasin' shadows on the dark side of town can't hold what you can't catch
It's a bitter business this runnin' round when the penny drops it's a lonely sound
Women are fools when it comes to you they gotcha doin' things you can't undo
Like a chain of heartaches around your neck
Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yet

Come on back to the one who really loves you...
[ guitar ] Come on back to the one who really loves you...

Like a chain of heartaches around your neck
Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yet
I tell ya something ain't right something's real wrong
In the mornin' when I wake up you'll still be gone

Come on back to the one who really loves you...
Come on back to the one who really loves you...

SWEETEST THING

(Robert Ellis Orrall - Carlene Carter) « © '90 Two Kids Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP /
Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
In the stillness of the dawn our love is dead and gone
The sunrise warms my heart with memories of you
It's the sweetest thing remembering
There's a picture in the hall that I'm leaving on the wall
Cause there's a look in your eyes that always made me fall apart
It's the sweetest thing remembering

When I close my eyes to cry I can't help but feel a smile
Cause I think of you and I forget it hurt to say goodbye
But after all we've been through it's amazing to me
The sweetest thing's remembering
Oh the sweetest thing remembering mhmm
[ piano - steel ] Oh the sweetest thing remembering

We wanted love to last forever and the good Lord knows we tried
When the rain came pouring down there was no place left to hide
But after all we've been through it's amazing to me
The sweetest thing's remembering oh the sweetest thing remembering
Oh the sweetest thing remembering it's the sweetest thing remembering

MY DIXIE DARLIN'

(A.P. Carter) « © '57 Peer International, BMI »
My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
Beneath the silver moon with my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true I love no one but you
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream

A way down below a Mason Dixon Line down where the honeysuckles are entwined
That's where the southern winds are blowin' there's where the daisies growin'
Girls of the north in their gay finery whirlin' around in their society
Singing a song of Dixie darlin' where I long to be

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing...
[ guitar ] Goin' down south to have a big time see my boy in ole Carolina
I'll drink his booze and do as I please all them boys I long to squeeze
Singin' the song of Dixie darlin' there's where I long to be goin'
Down where the jelly roll's growin' with my Dixie dream

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing...
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream

GOODNIGHT DALLAS

(Carlene Carter) « © '90 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
I've tasted the good and the bad too much of what I ain't had
I been up and down and all around this old town
Nothing's felt better than my feet on the ground
On the road that leads out of town

So goodnight Dallas
Gonna shoot out the lights in that ole silver palace
I'll drink your wine one last time come morning I'll be gone
Goodnight Dallas ah lee o lay eee a lee a oh

Lived my life at its best too much of all of the rest
I'd love you and leave you never no never deceive you
So maybe it's better when I leave I leave with no lies leave with no truth

So goodnight Dallas...
[ horns ] So goodnight Dallas...
Goodnight Dallas ah lee o lay eee a lee a oh
Goodnight Dallas ah lee o lay eee a lee a oh

ONE LOVE

(Howie Epstein - Perry Lamek - Carlene Carter) « © '90 Colgems Music, ASCAP / He Dog Music, ASCAP / Lamek Publishing, BMI »
Time and time again I've tried
To give it up and stop my roving eye
I think I'd really like to settle down
But I can't find a man to keep my feet from running round

My mama told me when I was a child
To play the field but don't go running wild
Cause somewhere there is someone just for me
Some great big love just waitin' for this girl from Tennessee

One love one love one great big love
One love one love one great big love
One love one love one great big love
Tu du dup tu du dup too aee
[ guitar ] I'm searching for a love that's gonna last
The kind of love that won't be fadin' fast
I'm looking for a kiss that's gonna start
A raging fire in my soul to melt my aching heart

One love one love one great big love...
One love one love one great big love...

LEAVIN' SIDE

(Keith Christopher - Tom Gray - Carlene Carter) « © '90 Gray Matter Publishing, BMI / Bag Daddio Music, BMI /
Chrysalis Music, ASCAP / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
Hey baby there's two sides to every story
I've heard 'em one too many times
Just stop callin' I'm not fallin' anymore
I've had enough of all your charms

Once and for all that's enough for a lifetime
Love's lost at long last it's over
Close the door and walk away on the leavin' side

You can cry all night and I won't listen
I can't hear you anymore
You can lie your lies and I won't miss 'em
Hey just walk out that door

Once and for all that's enough for a lifetime...
[ guitar ] Hey baby love may come and love may go
But now it's gone for good
Just stop tryin' I'm not buyin' anymore
I've taken all I could

Once and for all that's enough for a lifetime...
Oh it's over close the door and walk away on the leavin' side
Na na na na na na na...

GUARDIAN ANGEL

(James Eller - Carlene Carter) « © '90 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP »
Some folks live their life not knowing where they've been or where they're going
I'm not one but I know some
I've been selfish with affection I threw it all in one direction
To turn around and then I found the ones I loved I'd let 'em down
There must be a guardian angel

I lived my life like no tomorrow a lot of laughs and such sweet sorrow
But most the time I took for granted and heaven knows somebody planned it
There must be someone watching over me

A guardian angel guiding me a guardian angel just for me
Bout the company I'm keeping I slipped away while they were sleeping
I kissed the boys and made 'em cry oh I never stopped to say goodbye

Some folks live their life not knowing where they've been or where they're going
I've been up to living it down and heaven knows I know how now
There must be someone watching over me

A guardian angel guiding me a guardian angel just for me
A guardian angel watching me a guardian angel just for me
A guardian angel a guardian angel a guardian angel

ME AND THE WILDWOOD ROSE

(Carlene Carter) « © '90 Carlooney Tunes, ASCAP / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
In my grandma's house her children would sing
Guitars a twangin' their laughter would ring
I was little but I was the biggest kid
I wanted to do what the grown ups did

In a big shany car we'd head down the road
To sing for the miners who brought out the coal
Many a time I slept on the floorboard cold
On a quilt with my little sister the Wooldwood Rose

And if I could change a thing in this world
I'd go back to the days when grandma and her girls
Were singing sweet and low for me and the Wildwood Rose

We'd be way down the road by the break of dawn
Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song
In a world all my own I saw what I saw
And in the rear view mirror I'd get a wink from my grandma

And if I could change a thing in this world...
A lee a o lee a o o lay dee who a lee o lay dee...

Oh I'll always remember the day that she died
My daddy he called me and he started to cry
I rode on an airplain with all of my pain
My tears would not stop we stood in a circle and sang

And if I could change a thing in this world...
For me and the Wildwood Rose
For me and the Wildwood Rose
A lee a o lee a o o lay dee who a lee o lay dee

YOU ARE THE ONE

(Leon Payne) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh you are the one you're the one in my heart
You're my darlin' my life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart and I know
That I love you and I always will

Well I've had some sweethearts and dear so have you
I know that I've done things that I shouldn't do
We've both tasted life both the bitter and the sweet
It helped us to know love when we chanced to meet

Oh you are the one...
[ guitar ] We paid for the future with tears from the past
It helped us to know when we'd found love at last
I didn't know what joy was still actin' blue
I didn't know what love was till I met you

Oh you are the one...
Oh you are the one...
Oh I love you and I always will
Oh I love you and I always will
Oh honey I love you

EASY FROM NOW ON

(Carlene Carter - Susanna Clark) « © '78 Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP »
There he goes gone again
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was like a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet

It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be riding high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy easy from now on
[ guitar ] Raw as a whip but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
But when the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry bout me I've got a wild card up my sleeve

It's gonna be easy to fill...
