ANYMORE

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Marie Wilson)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't believe you love me anymore

Lately you've been actin' strange to me
Somehow it's not the way it used to be
You're doin' things you never dared to do before
And I don't believe you love me anymore

I felt your love grow colder day by day
When I tried to hold you close you turn away
There must be someone else you're longin' for
And I don't believe you love me anymore
[ guitar ] Greener pastures now you think you've found
But what will happen when the grass turns brown
I'm hearin' things on you I've never heard before
And I don't believe you love me anymore

I felt your love grow colder day by day...
No I don't believe you love me anymore

BURNING BRIDGES

(Walter Scott)
« © '57 Broad River Publishing, BMI »
Found some letters you wrote me this mornin'
They told of the love we once knew
Now they're gone I've burned them to ashes
Don't want nothin' to remind me of you

Burning bridges behind me
It's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me
All I want is to forget you somehow
[ steel ] Sold the house we once planned together
Said goodbye to the friends we once knew
Then I moved to a faraway city
Tryin' hard to forget about you

Burning bridges behind me...

HE HAD IT ON HIS MIND

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(All the time he had it on his mind)

I never thought he'd try to take you from me
A lifelong friend would never be that kind
He make believe that he could never want you
When all the time he had it on his mind

He had it on his mind all the time
But kept telling me desire had made me blind
As a friend he couldn't see how I could love you
When all the time he had it on his mind
[ steel ] To think of times I trusted you together
Now tomorrow the wedding bells will chime
To you and our best friend I'll be a stranger
Cause all the time he had it on his mind

He had it on his mind all the time...
Yes all the time he had it on his mind

I'D RATHER LOAN YOU OUT

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore)
« © '60 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I'm alone while you're somewhere with some friends of yours
I'd find you but you'd laugh me down I know
It hurts to love so much and not be loved at all
But I'd rather loan you out than let you go

I'd rather be with you now and then
Than to know I'd never feel your lips again
My dreams are gone but I still want you so
That I'd rather loan you out than let you go
[ steel ] At least I'll always know that you loved me once
Even though they stood in line to tell me no
If things with us can't ever be the way they were
Then I'd rather loan you out than let you go

I'd rather be with you now and then...

ALMOST CAN'T

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I keep hopin' in another I'll find you again
That's why there've be so many lips where your lips have been
With some the thrill is almost like it used to be
But almost can't take the heartache heartache out of me

Almost can't the heartache out of me
Still I keep on searching hopelessly
I hold them close and almost feel you're here with me
But almost can't take the heartache heartache out of me
[ steel ] If only all my dreams of you could be denied
Then maybe with a new love I'd be satisfied
At times from you it seems that I'm almost free
But almost can't take the heartache heartache out of me

Almost can't the heartache out of me...
No almost can't take the heartache heartache out of me

I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT

(Johnny Bond)
« © '41 Red River Songs, BMI »
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
I'm wonderin' if I'm wrong or right
To dream about you though you left me
I'll wonder where you are tonight

The rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And even though your love is colder
Still I wonder where you are tonight
[ guitar ] It hurt me so the night we parted
And though I try with all my might
To forget about you though you left me
Still I wonder where you are tonight

Well the rain is cold and slowly fallin'...

Yes I wonder where you are tonight
h I wonder where you are tonight

I'VE GOT SOME

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '60 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Talk about good times hmm I've had some
Talk about mem'ries hmm we've made some
Think about him alone with you
Think about times I've been there too
Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some

I've got some of ev'rything that makes a heart feel sad
I've got none of anything that makes a heart feel glad
Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some
Talk about teardrops hmm I've cried some
Think about you with someone new doin' things we used to do
Talk about heartaches hmm I've got some
[ guitar ] I've got some of ev'rything that makes a heart feel sad
I've got none of anything that makes a heart feel glad

Talk about good times hmm I've had some...

THREE HEARTS IN A TANGLE

(Ray Pennington - Sonny Thompson - Ray Starr)
« © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Three hearts in a tangle one heart will have to break
Tonight as I sit by my window watching the people go by
I'm trying to reach a decision but I know I can't do what's right

Three hearts in a tangle which heart should I take
Three hearts in a tangle which heart will I break
[ steel - piano ] If I choose the one that I should choose
Then the other heart would break
But if I'll leave them both then I'd suffer
Which heart will pay for my mistake

Three hearts in a tangle which heart should I take...

ANOTHER (JUST LIKE ME)

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '59 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
There'll always be another then another and another just like me
You didn't love me long until the thrill was gone
Then another made me your ole used to be
How long can his love last when the new wears off so fast
There'll always be another then another and another just like me

Just like me he'll understand the sorrow
Of lovin' you today and losin' you tomorrow
I'd warn him but he'd called it jealousy
So let him be another then another and another just like me
[ steel ] You'll go anywhere for a brand new love affair
Somebody new who thrills you instantly
When the thrill has ceased to chill and from your past I know it will
There'll always be another then another and another just like me

Just like me he'll understand the sorrow...

ALONE WITH YOU

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Faron Young)
« © '58 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I'd love to be alone with you
What I'd give to have the power to read your mind one hour
How I'd love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own
If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I'd love to be alone with you
[ steel - guitar ] How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I'd love to be alone with you
This could be a joy unending could be a real beginning
How I'd love to be alone with you

Well just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own
Won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
I could always be alone with you


Won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
I could always be alone with you
And I could always be alone with you

BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
« © '61 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
You're telling ev'rybody that it's over
That our love affair was just a waste of time
To think I thought I walked in fields of clover
When your sweet love was never really mine

I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late how could I be so blind
I try to forget you but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind
[ piano ] How could I even hope to keep a mem'ry
When at anytime the past will disappear
When that time comes if I could just remember
One moment of desire when you were here

I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine...

SWING WIDE YOUR GATE OF LOVE

(Hank Thompson - Nathan Sydney)
« © '46 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Swing wide your gate of love open up your heart
I knew when I first met you that you'd be my sweetheart
Swing wide your gate of love and please don't let me fall
I know you're gonna love me after all

Swing wide the gate and leave it open
Toward the center of my heart you'll be found
I'll mend the heart that has been broken
I'm not the kind of guy to let you down

So swing wide your gate of love open it for me
You're the one the one I want my darlin' can't you see
Make up your mind to love me and to be my turtle dove
I love you so swing wide your gate of love
[ steel ] Swing wide the gate and leave it open...

Make up your mind to love me and to be my turtle dove
I love you so swing wide your gate of love
