THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING

(Dallas Frazier) « © '65 Husky Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye forever more

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything

As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

There goes my reason for living...

WALKING ON NEW GRASS

(Ray Pennington) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm like a cloud drifting from town to town
Each new love just helps me on my way
No one woman's ever gonna tie me down
When one gets too close I just back up and say

Well I gotta be walking on new grass singing a new song
Tomorrow there's no telling where I'll be
Well I gotta be walking on new grass singing a new song
The next time up the road keeps calling me

I'm warning you don't fall in love with me
I don't plan on being here too long
You're just a leaf caught in a playfull breeze
I'll carry you a while then I'll be moving on

Yes and I'll be a walking on new grass...
[ guitar ] I won't take roots I never stay that long
And a bad seed just won't grow anyway
This rolling stone don't wanna gather no moss
So when the grass starts to grow then I'll be on my way

Yes and I'll be a walking on new grass...

ALMOST PERSUADED

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Last night all alone in a barroom
I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside

Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

WOUND TIME CAN'T ERASE

(Bill D. Johnson) « © '57 Harbor Hills Music, BMI »
Have you found since you turned me down
The one that you were searching for
Are you glad that you made me sad
For you know I vowed to love you ever more

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase
[ steel ] Tell me dear are you satisfied
To be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want or the things you have done
Just what you've gained I guess I'll never see

What did you have in mind...

THINK I'LL GO SOMEWHERE (AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP)

(Bill Anderson) « © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I just kissed the one I love for the last time
Never have her soft lips seem so sweet
She's gone away and won't be back forever
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Not because I'm sad but cause I'm weak
I can't stand the thought of life alone without her
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
[ steel ] Just before she said goodbye she called me darling
And slowly ran her fingers down my cheek
I thought I'd die when she said she still love me
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep...
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

EVER SINCE MY BABY WENT AWAY

(Marty Robbins) « © '66 Mariposa Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
(Ever since my baby went away)
Haven't seen a moonbeam haven't heard a robbin sing
Ever since my baby went away
Haven't slept one single night wondering if she's all right
Ever since my baby went away

I'll walk alone till she returns I miss her tender kiss
I cry when I'm alone I'm not brave enough I guess
Wanna kiss that pretty face home has been a lonely place
Ever since my baby went away
[ piano ] I'll walk alone till she returns...

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ steel ] Together again all the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again
And nothing else matters now we're together again

THE HURT'S ON ME

(Don Bowman) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well have a little drink on me my friend if you don't mind drinking with a fool
What I need most is to listen and post to tell my troubles to
Now you don't have a care in the world so come on in and sat down
Cause the drinks are free and the hurt's on me
And I got enough for both to go around

Now please don't think that one little drink has got me feeling sad
Well I just have one and all day long I felt just this bad
She left me a million memories I'm gonna try to drown
And the drinks are free and the hurt's on me
And I got enough for both to go around
[ guitar ] Well have another drink on me my friend I'm sippin' up tonight
Gonna tryin' to forget the girl I met that didn't do me right
She found someone to take my place and I'm out on the town
And the drinks are free and the hurt's on me
And I got enough for both to go around
Yes the drinks are free and the hurt's on me
And I got enough for both to go around

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away

Make the world go away...

I'm sorry if I've hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Make the world go away...
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN

(Dottie West - Bill West) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memory
Here comes my baby back again

My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
She's sorry once again once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again
[ guitar ] My arms are open wide...
Here comes my baby back again

TENDER YEARS

(Darrell Edwards) « © '61 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
You keep saying you love him I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter how much I love you
But in time you'll understand dear when you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living in your tender years

In your eyes there's a love light that shines just for him
But how long will it stay there till the love light grows dim
You can just see the happiness you can't see the tears
It's true cause you're living in your tender years
[ steel ] So if I can't be your first love I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future to help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years

And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years

DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED (OF HURTIN' ME)

(Hank Cochran) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me

You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have on in such a long long while
Still I keep coming back how can this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me

You must think I look bad with a smile...
