STILL THINKIN' BOUT YOU

(Johnny Christopher - Bobby Wood)
« © '74 Chriswood Music, BMI / Easy Nine Music, BMI »
Walkin' along and just a singin' a song I feel good
You treat me fine all of the time I'm still thinkin' bout you
You took me back and baby made me realize it's the truth
You got a touch you're way too much I'm still thinkin' bout you
I'm still thinkin' bout you

I'm not the kind to settle down
You've got my head turned around honey
I love to kiss you uh I love to hold you yeah
I love to be your lovin' man
I love to be your lovin' man

I harmonize when I look in your eyes and see me
It feels just right ev'ry night I'm still thinkin' bout you
Walkin' along and just a singin' a song I feel good
You treat me fine all of the time I'm still thinkin' bout you
[ fiddle ] Walkin' along and just a singin' a song I feel good
You treat me fine all of the time I'm still thinkin' bout you
Still thinkin' bout you

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THIS FAR BEFORE

(Conway Twitty)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating bum bum bum
And I can almost hear the echos
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking bum bum bum
And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store bum bum bum
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before bum bum bum

I don't know what I'm saying
As my trembling fingers touch forbidden places bum bum bum
I only know that I've waited
For so long for the chance that we are taking bum bum bum
I don't know and I don't care
What made you tell him you don't love him anymore bum bum bum
And as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before

As I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind hmm hmm hmm
And you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight hmm hmm hmm
You have no way of knowing
But tonight will even make me love you more
And I hope that you'll believe me
Cause I know you've never been this far before

And I hope that you'll believe me
Cause I know you've never been this far before

I LOVE THE BLUES AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE

(Darrell Statler)
« © '75 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie
It puts you in a groove it makes you move
It's a darn right thrill that you can't sit still
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie

They play good boogie woogie a down at Rambling Rose
On Saturday nights I go dancin' and steppin' on pretty girls toes
Well my body begins to tingle when I hear those bluesy songs
When the band starts winding up Lord I know where my heart belongs

Yeah hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie...
[ fiddle ] Well if you want some real good living then girl come along with me
I've gotta feeling you can have some fun if you let your soul run free
They build a fire with music when they play country rock'n roll
Well you feel like you never felt before cause it burns right through your soul

Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie...

Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie
Hot dang I love the blues and the boogie woogie

NO DEPOSIT NO RETURN

(John Adrian)
« © '75 Pick A Hit Music, BMI »
Gypsy woman bring your crystal ball and sit with me awhile
Seems like lately I've misplaced my young and carefree smile
Her name was Annabelle and I still taste her
Like cotton candy that the circus sells
She wanted all of me I only gave part of
Second guessing all the Gods of love
I ran away should I have stayed instead
The Gypsy smiled and said

There ain't no sunshine if there ain't no rain
There ain't no pleasure if there ain't no pain
And that's a lesson we all must learn
No deposit no return
[ piano ] Tell me old man just like me you seem to be the driftin' kind
Is the answer waiting at the bottom of this glass of wine
Her name was Annabelle and all the ways she loved me
Are still too warm inside my memory to tell
She was my time and place
And every dream I have is nothing but a frame around her lovely face
Too late I see should I have stayed instead
The old man smiled and said

There ain't sunshine if there ain't no rain...

PLEASE JAMES

(Rory Bourke)
« © '75 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Rhythm Ranch Music, ASCAP »
I drive the car that carries the lady to places that she likes to go
When she's got men friends a ridin' with her I keep my eyes on the road

Then she says James please take us to the country
She says James please take us to the town
But when the nighttime takes the day I know I'll hear her sayin' to me
Please James love me like you want to
She says please James love me like you do
And then the chauffer and the lady becomes man and a woman one more time

I bring the tray that carries refreshments to the people that come to call
And while they're talkin' mhm about the good life I stay away from it all

Till she says James please serve us now our coffee
She says James please serve us now our tea
But I know later on when the folks have come and gone
She'll say please James love me like you want to
She'll say please James love me like you do
And then the chauffer and the lady becomes man and a woman one more time

Please James love me like you want to
She says please James love me like you do
She says please James

DON'T GO CITY GIRL ON ME

(Mike Kosser - Rafe VanHoy)
« © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Alright uhm
With your blouse halfway open and your skirt a flappin' high above your knees
I declare you'll catch your death of cold with all that skin a wavin' in the breeze Lord yeah
You're a hot country woman and you sure know how to country please
Pretty woman of the country a don't go city girl on me

You've got an eye for Cadillacs and great big stack of hundred dollar bills
You're like a hound dog chasing rabbits and each sugar daddy's just another meal
Girl you're playing with the big boys don't you realize that you're just little league
Pretty woman of the country a don't go city girl on me

Pretty country woman you've got the bright lights in your eyes
But the true love I can give you is worth more than all them uptown lights
That good life you've been looking for you ain't gonna find on a city streets no no no
I love you woman of the country so don't go city girl on me
I love you woman of the country so don't go city girl on me
I love you woman of the country so don't go city girl on me

SOUNDS OF LOVE

(Neal Davenport)
« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI / Locomotive Music, BMI »
Gentle cryin' from a newborn baby lying in it's cradle next to my bed
They drown out these thoughts of leavin' keep circling through my head
It's mama lyin' next to him breathing a melody that echos cross the room
That leaves me with a feelin' that leavin's gonna be harder than learning the tune

Yes the sounds of love keep callin' me back to the woman who's given her all to me
Yes the sounds of love keep ringin' in my ear sayin' man you got just a what you need
[ piano ] Solitude drops thunder through my mind I hear two voices callin' callin' me to stay
Either it's love or else it's pity I can't leave them stranded in the rain
Life is just too short I can't waste my time tryin' to find a brand new melody a brand new melody
When this one can be changed to such a happy tune with a little bit more harmony

Yes the sounds of love keep callin' me back...
Yes the sounds of love keep callin' me back...

FOXY LADY

(Ron Chancey)
« © '75 Duchess Music, BMI »
Well foxy lady you sure got your act down
You wiggle that thing when you walk down the street uh
Oh foxy lady I'm a gonna get you tracked down
Before you make an ole man out of me
You foxy lady you foxy lady

Foxy lady now I know your habits
You sleep all day and search for prey at night
Oh but foxy lady I won't be your rabbit
Cause I'm the kind that likes to love all night
You foxy lady you foxy lady

I get so tired of chasin' you and sniffin' on your trail
I almost get a glimpse of you but I just see your tail
Sometimes I feel like givin' up cause I'm not in no race
A then suddenly I realize the fox enjoys the chase
You foxy lady you foxy lady
[ guitar - fiddle ] Foxy lady you've run out of places
And there is nowhere left for you to hide
Oh foxy lady you're gonna have your back down
But I'm a gonna be a layin' right by your side
You foxy lady you foxy lady
You foxy lady you foxy lady
You foxy lady you foxy lady
You foxy lady you foxy lady
You foxy lady

PIECE OF THE ROCK

(Jimmy Payne)
« © '75 Ensign Music, BMI / Paragon Music, ASCAP »
I stopped at a place called The Rock last night
A hidden home to my dissolute room
I ask the bartender for a tall glass of wine
A thinkin' it might fill my gloom
Then over in the corner a little four piece band
The sound that eased my mind
A last night I got myself a piece of the rock
And this a mornin' I sure feel fine

Last night I got a piece of the rock
And this a mornin' I feel like I should
Last night I got a piece of the rock
And this a mornin' I sure feel good

Well the girl that was singin' was a pickin' guitar
Out of her ever liberated mind
The song it started in her toes and it moved up through her clothes
And it stopped awhile at her little behind
Then it moved on up a to her shoulders and there it shook just a little bit
And when it finally came out she sang like a bird and it threw me in a ragin' fit

Last night I got a piece of the rock...
[ fiddle ] Well I walked up to the swingin' little singer at break
I said you're just what I've been a lookin' for
I'm needin' somebody to warm my body
She ask hoss where's your car
But it was above my expectation it wasn't a lifetime thing
A last night I got myself a piece of the rock
And tonight I'm ready to swing

Last night I got a piece of the rock...

Let's do it one more time now
Last night I got a piece of the rock...

STAY A LITTLE LONGER IN YOUR BED

(John Adrian)
« © '74 Pick A Hit Music, BMI »
If I could step back into time for just a moment
And take back all the silly things I said
I'd take the time to paint the sky a different shade of blue
And stay a little longer in your bed

If I could step back into yesterday a moment
And paint the rose a different shade of red
I'd take the time to listen to the songs you tried to sing
And to stay a little longer in your bed

And there'd be curtains hanging on the windows of my lonely room
And lips to catch my teardrops when I cry
Cause all I've found in being free are circles I can run
That have no hidden places I can hide

If I could gather all the moments that were wasted
And turn each one into a ruby red
I'd buy back all the time it takes to make a dream come true
And stay a little longer in your bed

There was something hidden underneath the corner of your pillow
Tiny lines of love I should have read
And all the time it takes for love to grow a weeping willow
I never understood the things it said

If love were like the pages of a story
Who's favorite parts could always be re-read
I'd find your laughter in between the covers of the dawn
And stay a little longer in your bed
