HAS ANYBODY SEEN ME LATELY

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Has anybody seen me lately I'm sorry if I passed you by
But ever since I lost my baby all I seem to do is cry
Built little world around me don't even know this life long friends
Has anybody seen me lately I wish you tell me where I've been

Was I looking bad was I looking sad as I feel Lord I hope not
Were my eyes full of dreams that fell apart it seems well that's all all what I've got
If anybody seen me lately pretended I was someone else
Now my mind just ain't been working lately I wouldn't even know myself
[ steel - guitar ] Was I looking bad...

HAPPY GOODBYE

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
We tried and failed so let's take inventory
You'd rather be some place else so had I
But let's make this the happy ending story
Let's wise up and have a happy goodbye

I'd like to see you smile again even if it's not at me
That certain glow should never leave your eye
Let's make a plan to make each other happy again
Let's wise up and have a happy goodbye
[ steel ] Let's leave this ship honey while it's still floatin'
We've used it up we both know that's no lie
There's happier things we both should be promotin'
Let's wise up and have a happy goodbye

I'd like to see you smile again even if it's not at me...

I WOKE UP

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You promised a new world you showed me and made me believe it did exist
And now you pretend you don't know me and you say that world was a mess

I woke up and the world was gone and I never felt so all alone
It was cold and dark without a dawn when I woke up and the world was gone
[ steel ] That world you promised you gave me honey I was there every time we kissed
And when your world had enslaved me that world you promised went a mist

Then I woke up and the world was gone...

JUST FOR THE RECORD

(Hank Cochran) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know our love is over you've made it plain to see
But just for the record did you ever love me

I hope that you'll be happy cause I'm gonna try to be
But just for the record would you tell me did you ever love me

Or was I just fillin' in while you waited for love to come by
Or did you once love me if you did why did it die

Now this is the last time I'll call you from this moment on you're free
But just for the record I'd like you know did you ever love me

TOOTSIE'S ORCHARD LOUNGE

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's a place uptown where we hang around called Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
There's always a crowd and the music's kinda loud at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
All the musicians are there so naturally the pretty girls come around
And I can't forget a little girl I met at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
She told me that she love me and always would
And things were going like I thought they should
The guitar picker came strollin' by a very funny look came in her eye

Now he's got her and gone and I sit all alone at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
If I'll ever love again I won't take her in to Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
But if you want to stay keep your girls away from Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
Cause any guitar man is a mighty big man at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge
[ guitar ] Now he's got her and gone...
Any guitar man is a mighty big man at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge

I JUST BURNED A DREAM

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your clothes and your pictures that has made you live
In that little dreamhouse you once shared with me
My heart is as empty as where our house used to be
You see I just burned a dream you once shared with me

I searched for the answer but all that I found
Was to just light a match and burnt it to the ground
So when they come for me like I know they'll do
So I just burned a dream what else could I do
[ steel ] I searched for the answer...

YESTERDAY'S MEMORIES

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Drove to the place where we used to park
Just like always it was still and dark
But it was a little too much for my poor heart
Yesterday's mem'ries tore me apart

Today I walked down to that little cafe where we used to go
And I waited for our favorite booth the one we always sat in not too long ago
But when I sat down tears began to flow yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go

Anymore if there's anyone around when I start to cry
I just say excuse me but there's a mem'ry in my eyes
Told my friends things were like they ought to be
That I was happy with new arms wrapped around me
But as I lie I'd cry they may could see
Yesterday's mem'ries got hold of me

ALL OF ME BELONGS TO YOU

(Merle Haggard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
All of me belongs to you all the time
You're the only one that's ever on my mind
There's not one way that I would ever be untrue
There's not one single part of me that don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you

Eyes are worthless cause you're not here to see
Lips are so forgotten since you forgotten me
My arms ached from reaching out to you the way they do
There's not one single part of me that don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you

Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams
Searching for a love I lost but can't redeem
I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new
Not one single part of me that my heart don't inclue
All of me belongs to you all of me belongs to you

WHEN YOU GOTTA GO

(Harlan Howard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Now I hated to leave but she told me to with a cold cold look in her eyes of blue
I ain't so smart but this I know ha buddy when you gotta go you gotta go
(Yeah) buddy when you gotta go you gotta go

Now when a woman gets mad tho it makes you sad move on get gone
Buddy don't hang around when the deal's gone down face facts make tracks

So I'm gettin' out while the gettin's good but I'd be stayin' if I thought I could
I love that gal and I'll miss her so buddy when you gotta go you gotta go
(Yeah) buddy when you gotta go you gotta go
[ trumpet ] She throwed my ring all over the floor said she didn't love me anymore
I love that gal and I'll miss her so but buddy when you gotta go you gotta go
(Yeah) buddy when you gotta go you gotta go

When a woman gets mad tho it makes you sad move on get gone
Buddy don't hang around when the deal's gone down face facts make tracks

So I'm gettin' out while the gettin's good but I'd be stayin' if I thought I could
I remember what daddy said long ago (boy just like I always said)
Son when you gotta go you gotta go I know it
Son when you gotta go you gotta go but I don't wanna leave
Son when you gotta go you gotta go do I have to

IT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A NICER GUY

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You stole the one I loved ain't that true
But I hear someone just did the same to you
She left you flat without a reason why
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
You've got what you deserved I'm not surprised
I hear you've been seen around with tears in your eyes
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy
[ steel ] You lost just what you stole ain't that true
You had it just long enough to catch the blues
I hear you've been rewarded her hoodbye
Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy

SPEAK WELL OF ME TO THE KIDS

(Hank Cochran) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm saying goodbye like I have to do
I never thought I would say this to you
But there's just one thing I'd like you to do
Speak well of me to the kids won't you

Don't say it's your fault but please don't say it's mine
Say something happened and they'll understand in time
That's not too much to ask I'd do it for you
Speak well of me to the kids won't you

When they start asking and they will before long
Wondering what happened and why I left home
Please tell 'em I love 'em let 'em know I do
Speak well of me to the kids won't you

Don't say it's your fault...

SOMEWHERE IN MY DREAMS

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When day is done I hurry home and get back in my bed
Cause only in dreams can I relive the things that she once said
Once again she's in my arms and once again I'm king
So in a minute or three she would be with me
Somewhere in my dreams

I don't care about the weather let it rain or storm
Long as I'm somewhere in dreams and she's back in my arms
I come alive when I'm asleep at least that's how it seems
So if you don't mind I'll spend my time
Somewhere in my dreams

I don't care about a thing I just know that she's gone
But she comes back when I'm asleep and that's why I go on
You can have reality kept on mean a thing
Now I've got to leave she waits for me
Somewhere in my dreams
