NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS
(Don Bowman - Charlie Rich)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Everybody knows now everybody knows
Well you have made no secret of your new love affair
He buys you pretty presents and he takes you everywhere
You seen him all the places where you and I once went
You sit and hold each other's hand in front of all our friends
Now everybody knows now everybody knows why my heart cries
There's no need to tell you you're too in love to see
Everything I've told you baby you thought was jealousy
But if he ever breaks your heart the same as you broke mine
Just come on running back to me you're welcome any old time
Cause everybody knows yeah everybody knows why my heart cries
Everybody knows how your love for him grows as our love dies

ROCKY TOP
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '67 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills
Cause there ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top half bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as a soda pop and I still dream about that
Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar
Rocky Top you'll always be...
[ banjo - harmonica ]
Rocky Top you'll always be...

WHO PUT THE LEAVING IN YOUR EYES
(Jim Owen)
« © '69 Sawgrass Music, BMI »
There you are a standing at the window again
I know there's something tuggin' at your soul
You look like you could run a hole right to the wind
You're burning up with desire to go
Your touch has a finger of the cold north wind
Oh I know it's all over goodbye
But I know that you don't have the strenght to leave alone
So who put the leaving in your eyes
Who planted this satisfaction in your mind
Who gave you the strenght to say goodbye
Who put that restless feeling in your soul
Who put the leaving in your eyes
[ guitar ]
For so long we've been headed down a oneway street
We've both lost all desire to try
But I know that you ain't got the strenght to leave yourself
So who put the leaving in your eyes
Who planted this satisfaction in your mind...
Who put the leaving in your eyes
Yeah honey who put the leaving in your eyes

JANUARY APRIL AND ME
(Buddy Mize)
« © '70 Central Songs, BMI »
In the 1957 blue and green two door sedan
We divided all we own and I've packed all I can
The back seat's piled high with things in the front seat tears are flowin'
And I'm drivin' down a lonely road without a single thought to where we're goin'
But January April and me
We're pullin' out so you can be the girl you wanna be
You go ahead little miss uptown ride high ride free
But say goodbye to January April and and me
[ guitar ]
The tiny rocker teddy bear and dolls are gone and won't be in your way
I forgot that ol' pipe you never liked just throw it away
I don't think April understands but January's cryin'
I know what her heart is goin' through
Here we are the three of us leaving yet not knowin'
For a long time you'll be a pretty big part of everything that we do
And knowin' you'll be a part of all we do
But January April and me...

RUBY DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN
(Mel Tillis)
« © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
Ruby I know I'm not the man that I used to be
But Ruby I still need your company
It's hard to love a man whose legs're bent and paralized
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I heard it slam one hundred times before
If I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
Ruby for God's sakes turn around

SINGING MY SONG
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton - Tammy Wynette)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Here's a song I love to sing it's about the girl that wears my ring
And even though I'm tempted I know she'll make sure that I get everything
Cause when I'm cold I know she's warm and she warm me in her arms
And when I'm sad she makes me glad and she's my shelter from the storm
She's my song when I feel like singing and she swings when I feel like swinging
I don't know what she's doin' right but it makes me come home at night
And when I'm home she makes sure I'm never alone
And that's why I keep singing my song
Yeah and when I'm home...
Singing my song

SHE GOES WALKING THROUGH MY MIND
(Bill Eldridge - Gary Stewart - Walter Haynes)
« © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(She goes walking through my mind)
Caring out a little at a time
Her footsteps keep it louder all the time
When she goes walking through my mind
Tonight I will sleep though I'm not trying
For sleep makes me dream then I start crying
Once again I'll get the glimpse of what was mine
When she goes walking through my mind
She goes walking through my mind...
I try to fight but I'm too weak
I close my eyes then fall asleep
And once again there she is right on time
And she goes walking through my mind
She goes walking through my mind...

SWEET MISERY
(Jan Crutchfield - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Oh when I'm lonely I think of someone someone I call Sweet Misery
In her arms I was in heaven but heaven wasn't meant for me
Oh I still love her oh but I lost her ah when she walked out the hurt walked in
Now our love's gone just like an old song that no one ever wants to hear again
I count heartaches that I think fool makes and I think about my Sweet Misery
To my sorrow each new tomorrow proves there's never been a bigger fool than me
Yeah cause in her arms I was in heaven but heaven wasn't meant for me
Oh when I'm lonely I think about someone someone I call Sweet Misery
Yeah someone I call Sweet Misery yeah someone I call Sweet Misery
Pretty baby that I call Sweet Misery

TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN
(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today I started loving you again now
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again...
And today I started loving you again

AIN'T LIFE SWEET
(Billy Hughes - Tommy Vernon)
« © '71 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Gonna tell the world I love you can't keep it quiet
Everything I dreamed of darling came true tonight
Love that's been needed to make my life complete
Is here beside me and ain't life sweet
I hear love's music playing in the beat of your heart
Life's only regret my darling are the times we're apart
And all life's treasures are laying at my feet
You're here beside and ain't life sweet
Sweeter than honey sweeter than wine every day you make my life so fine
A smile comes with everyday I breathe I'm in love and ain't life sweet
[ guitar ]
Gonna tell the world I love you...
