HAPPY TRACKS
(Ray Pennington)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I know that you've heard people say many many times
You don't pass through this world but once aou'll get yours and I'll get mine
But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by
And if you just listen you may want to give it a try

Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
[ steel ]
As you walk the tangle streets of life notice your fellow man
And when he gets in trouble lend him a helping hand
Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along
Let others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone

Leave a lotta happy tracks...
[ steel ]
Don't ever use a good friend for a personal game
To game wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain
Let your happy tracks be many leave them everywhere you go
Others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow

Leave a lotta happy tracks...

CRAZY
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I'm crazy crazy for feeling so lonely
Crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
Then some day you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring what in the world did I do
Oh crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy for thinking that my love...

I'M A LONESOME FUGITIVE
(Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »

Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run the highway is my home

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
While mama used to pray my crops would fail
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run the highway is my home
[ guitar ]
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of having the one I love to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone

I'd like to settle down...
I'm on the run the highway is my home

WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME
(Sandy Seamons - Kaye Savage)
« © '66 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long long time

And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
[ guitar ]
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I've searched for you so

And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

HARDEST EASY THING
(Jerry Lane)
« © '67 Allroads Music, BMI / Window Music, BMI »

I listened when they said bad things about you
And when they told me I should leave you on the run
And they said just walk right out there's nothing to it
But it's the hardest easy thing I've ever done

It seems some poeple have no feelings at all
For them to break a heart is some sorta fun
Well I'm afraid that's not my way of thinking at all
Cause it's the hardest easy thing I've ever done
[ steel ]
Ever since I left blue tears have fallen
My friends say just forget her dry your eyes
And it sounds so simple when I hear them say it
But it's the hardest easy thing I've ever tried

It seems some poeple have no feelings at all...
Yes it's the hardest easy thing I've ever done

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »

Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
[ steel - piano ]
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

CRYING TIME
(Buck Owens)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
And I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
But my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again...
[ guitar - piano ]
Now you say you found someone that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And it's sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again...

SHE'S GONE GONE GONE
(Harlan Howard)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »

She said if I ever deceived her she'd be gone before I could count ten
But I guess that I didn't believe her cause look at the trouble I'm in

She's gone gone gone gone gone gone cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster than train flies further on down the track
[ steel ]
I've lost every right to be happy when I lost the heaven I found
She warned me she'd leave and she left me before my first tear hit the ground

She's gone gone gone...
[ piano ]
If I only knew where to find her I'd crawl to her on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock so remind her she's one second farther from me

She's gone gone gone...

9.
TOUCH MY HEART
(Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew)
« © '66 Dream City Music, BMI »

Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but I can't seem to shake her memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
Then tell me again what love can do for me

If you lived in my world awhile you'd soon forget just how to smile
In my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see how someone's changed my destiny
I'm a man who can't live and yet can't die

Touch my heart feel the hurt...

ROOM FOR ONE MORE HEARTACHE
(Harlan Howard)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »

They say I'm a fool to forgive you that true is a word you don't know
But all this fool knows is he's lonesome and prays every night you'll come home

Cause I still got room for one more heartache I could still sway up a tear or two
Yes I still got room for one more heartache so come home anytime you're ready to
[ ac.guitar ]
I know I should find myself another who won't do the things that you do
But my eyes just look right to others cause they're waiting and watching for you

Yes I still got room...

WANTING YOU BUT NEVER HAVING YOU
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »

(Wanting you but never having you will soon destroy what's left of my mind)

I know that you're another man's possession
And it's wrong to steal the key that fits his door
I know it's wrong to play in raging water
But my weaken will possess me find the shore

Wanting you but never having you
How much longer can I stand it where this patience draw the line
Wanting you but never having you
Will soon destroy what's left of my mind

I can't help it if my selfish heart desires you
I can't help it if I stare with hungry eyes
Each time that you come near me fashion candles
And the fire inside starts burning me alive

Wanting you but never having you...

12.
ALL THE TIME
(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »

All the time yes darling all the time tenderly constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every way in happiness or in loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you
For even if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me...
