MY SUNNY OVERGROWN COUNTRY TOWN

(Randall Rogers) « © '76 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Get me back to Tennessee
I'm homesick for my sunny overgrown country town
I thought I'd like to be a westcoast cowboy
But I got lonely as the sun went down
The ladies living here sure are different
They took my hard earned money now they're gone
Never did they ever satisfy me like a hard lovin' country girl back home

Get me back to Tennessee
I'm homesick for my sunny overgrown country town
Get me back to Tennessee
I'm homesick I'll ride anything eastern bound
[ guitar ] Hitchhikin' days get by over not many pickup strangers anymore
Shave my face and cut my hair this morning
Well maybe I'll have better luck than before
Mister thank you for the ride
I'm glad to know you're goin' all the way to Alabam
Just let out on 65 in Nashville my sunny overgrown country town

Get me back to Tennessee...

SUGARLAND U.S.A.

(Jimmy Key) « © '65 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Headin' back to sugerland USA
I been so lonesome ever since I went away
This time I'm a going back to stay
With my sugar in sugerland USA

I gotta keep these big wheels rolling on
I can see sugerland down the road
And my sugar is waiting patiently
Right there in sugerland USA

Where sugar is sweeter and loving nights are longer
Sweet love never dies it gets sweeter and stronger

Back home in sugerland USA
Where the living is easy everyday
You can bet this time I'm gonna stay
With my sugar in sugerland USA
With my sugar in sugerland USA

LYIN' EYES

(Don Henley - Glenn Frey) « © '75 Cass County Music, BMI » »
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes and your smile has been disguised
I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
[ guitar ] On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms they fall together
She whispers that it's only for a while
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My oh my you sure know how to arrange
Things you set it up so well so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin' eyes...
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

THIRTY EIGHT AND LONELY

(Randall Rogers) « © '76 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
She's hurt so many men say they've loved her
She gave herself not knowing they're all alive
Tonight she sits alone no longer wanted
Wishing she could relive her life

Thirty seven single years has her thinking
What good did it do to ber so kind
She's been the fool of many lie it lovers
She believed in the words I love you time after time

At midnight she'll be thirty-eight and lonely
After all the lady game she's still alone
At midnight she'll be thirty-eight and lonely
Another wasted year another lie and lover gone
[ guitar ] She's making up new glance for the future
She's not gonna be so easy anymore
She's movin' to a new town meet new faces
It's the same old plan she made the year before

At midnight she'll be thirty-eight...

EAGLES FLY ALONE

(Dave Dudley - Randall Rogers) « © '76 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Thank you girl it's been so much fun you know me I gotta get up and run
I never had a nest don't want a home sorry girl eagles fly alone
You've given up to almost change my mind
But I gotta see what's happenin' on down the line

A free flyin' life is all I've known sorry girl eagles fly alone
I don't think about the sunset yesterday the past is gone sunrise is on its way
You're my kind but something's a movin' me on sorry girl eagles fly alone

If you want me to I'll touch down again
I'll tell you what I've done in places I've been
I'll warm your nest once more then I'll be gone sorry girl eagles fly alone

MY TOWN

(Dave Dudley) « © '68 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Each night when I sleep I dream of a love in my town
I don't count sheep just the faces of her in my town
I miss her all the time and she's always on my mind and then some
A love that is mine gonna stay there this time in my town

Well I write her letters and I always send her X's
And I'm a going back cause there ain't a darn cow in Texas
No need to wait cause I've been every place and then some
And that love that has mind will keep me this time in my town

Well I'm a gonna get there as fast as I can get there back to my town
Maybe a long time but not a lifetime
I'm a gonna hold her tight squeeze her with all my might
Then I put my suitcase down
Well I've met a lot of girls but never like that girl in my town

They remind me of her then they make me lonesome for my town
I knew it all the time though I put it from my mind but I learn some
That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town
That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town

DON'T NEED THE RAIN

(Dave Dudley - Randall Rogers) « © '76 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Dark angry clouds tumbling everywhere looks like a storm is coming through
I'm alone and it's really oh so lonely don't need the rain just need you

Got so many empty rooms all around me keep talking to someone but don't know who
This house is even quiet with all the thunder don't need the rain just need you

The lightning as it falshes keeps remind me just how fast you left and got over me
The color of the raindrops seem to turn to blue don't need the rain just need you
[ guitar ] The lightning as it falshes...

WHERE DOES A LITTLE BOY GO

(Dave Dudley) « © '68 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
Where does a little boy go after he leaves his carefree life
Where does a little boy go he's a young man a looking for a wife

Where does a young man go with a woman and a family that really cares
Where does a young man go he goes suddenly to some silver in his hair

Where does the silver hair go when this grownup man has settled in his ways
Where does the silver hair go it just turns right into yesterdays

Where did those yesterdays go they just seemed to disappear into the past
Where did those yesterdays go they turned into memories so very fast

Where does a memory go will it stay around to last and to enjoy
Where does a memory go there'll be memories as long as there's our little boys
Where does a little boy go
