SLOWLY
(Webb Pierce - Tommy Hill)
« © '52 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
No I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you

JACKSON
(Billy Ed Wheeler - Gaby Rogers)
« © '65 Bexhill Music, ASCAP »
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson I'm gonna mess around
Headed to Jackson look out Jackson town
Well you go on down to Jackson go ahead and wreck your health
Play your hand like a loving man make a big fool of yourself
Honey you just go on to Jackson why don't you go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson oh see if I care
Hmm I breeze into that city all them people gonna stoop and bow
And them Jackson women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know now
I'm goin' to Jackson get your brother hands off of my coat
I'm headed to Jackson well goodbye that's all she wrote
When they laugh at you in Jackson I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
When I'll lead you round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Go on to Jackson you big tall Texas man
I'll be waitin' right there in Jackson behind my Japan fan
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact
Yeah goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back

FOR THE GOOD TIMES
(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
Don't look so sad we know it's over
Life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops falling softly against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times
I'll get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing softly against the window
And make believe you love me just one more time for the good times
And there were some good times for the good times

LET IT BE ME
(Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud)
« © '57 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Now and forever let it be me

YOURS LOVE
(Harlan Howard)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
May the fruit of my toil be yours love
May the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours love
May the sons that I raise be yours love
May the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours love
May the Lord's shining grace be yours love
May the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lip
As life from me slips be yours love
And from this moment on may this love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours love

SWEET THANG
(Nat Stuckey)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI »
I slipped out of the house about sundown
while mama was a washing her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me
When she'll find that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
Cause she'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see sweet thang
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
Finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna warn all you barroom roses if my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
I gave my baby all my money on payday
except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
We were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a chair
And she believed in every word that I said
When that door blew open and mama walked in
yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
And she said
Well has anybody here see sweet thang...

PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW
(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)
« © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
And you say you're going away
Leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
I've hurt you enough for today you can't believe a word that I say
But you must accept the fact I won't be coming back
Oh but stay stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

I GOT YOU
(Ricci Mareno - Gordon Galbraith)
« © '68 Music City Music, ASCAP »
Don't get no attention from the people on the street
They don't even notice us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see
That we don't care
I got you and you got me baby that's all we will ever need
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
People all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we were't even there
But I got you and you got me...
Yeah I got you and you got me...

JUST SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW
(Jack Clement)
« © '62 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that's lost its glow
But I don't tell them of the nights I cry without you
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to run around with
Just a friend of long ago
I don't tell them just how lost I am without you
I say just someone I used to know
I say just someone I used to know

I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO MISS YOU
(Hank Cochran - Dave Kirby)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Monday morning and I best be on my way
Got a feeling it will be a busy day
Doing something I'm not looking forward to
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Broke the clock because I wound it up too tight
Lucky me I didn't sleep a wink last night
So I was up on time to do what I must do
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Wonder whose glasses that I'm seeing through
Cause I'm seeing everything but you everything but you
Now it's Saturday and I may go for a hike
Cause when it's Sunday it'll be Sunday day and night
Red is red black is black and blue is blue
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Wonder whose glasses...
Now it's Saturday and I may go for a hike...
Wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
