THERE'S A WHOLE LOT ABOUT A WOMAN
(Bill Eldridge - Gary Stewart - Walter Haynes)
« © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There's a whole lot about a woman a man don't know
If I had known my leaving wouldn't hurt her
I'd've turned her loose a long long time ago
But I had the silly notion she'd go to pieces
There's a whole lot about a woman a man don't know
All I could see was her crying over me
I just knew that she had no place to go
The only thing I believe was what she told me
But there's a whole lot about a woman a man don't know
About the time I thought I might own her
I found out I'd really never known her
I'm still trying to understand her as I stand and watch her go
But there's a whole lot about a woman a man don't know
[ fiddle ]
I'm still trying to understand her...

SOMETHING UNSEEN
(Hank Cochran)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Before I go there's something I must know
Just what's inside of you you can't control
That pulls you like a puppet on a string
Away from me to something unseen
Is there a goal that I have failed to see
And does that goal offer more than me
Is it something or someone who pulls the string
Away from me to something unseen
I'd be happier to know that there was someone new
At least I'd know there was someone who would take care of you
Cause what if there's no ending to your dream
That pulled you away to something unseen

RAININ' IN MY HEART
(Jerry West - James Moore)

Rainin' in my heart since we've been apart
I know I was wrong darling please come on home
You got me cryin' about to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain try my love just once again
Rainin' in my heart since we've been apart
I know I was wrong darling please come on home
[ steel ]
Now honey I need your love and darling you know why
So if you just come on back home
There'd be no need for me to sit and cry
Rainin' in my heart...
Rainin' in my heart...

SHE WAKES ME WITH A KISS EVERY MORNING
(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
How lucky I am to have searched for and found the beginning of the rest of my life
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
Her goal for each day is to find some new way to please me and keep me satisfied
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
Her love is too strong to let me be wrong even when we both know I'm to blame
And when trouble and hard times are raining her love soaks up my share of the rain
She never complains and I've never seen distance in her baby blue eyes
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night

ALWAYS REMEMBER
(Jerry Bradley - Patsy Lawley)
« © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Always remember I love you I love you only you
Always remember your whole life through I love you just you
A million miles away from me we're never far apart
Cause you're always in my heart
So always remember I love you I love you just you
Always remember your whole life through I love you just you
A million miles away from me we're never far apart
Cause you're always in my heart
So always remember I love you I love you just you I love you

IF THIS IS LOVE
(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
This morning my mind looked around
And couldn't find a lie for why and where she stay
If this is love then Lord I pray let me fall out of love today
Her ramblin' blue eyes couldn't hide or deny
That she had thrown her self respect away
If this is all there is to love let me fall out of love today
I'm not saying I don't want to remember
All the good times and the places we've been
But if this is all there is to love then please don't let me see her again
Today I must seek I'm ashamed that I'm so weak
But Lord I'm not strong enough to stay
If this is all there is to love let me fall out of love today
Oh if this is all there is to love let me fall out of love today

ARMS OF A FOOL
(Ronal McCown)
« © '71 Sawgrass Music, BMI »
Come on home to the arms of a fool
So many times you've told me that you love me
And just as many times I found out it's not true
So if you've had your fun and you still need someone
Come on home to the arms of a fool
My foolish eyes still cry when my ears believe a lie
And my foolish heart keeps sayin' I love you
So with your new flamed eyes and you're still burning with desire
Come on home to the arms of a fool
[ steel ]
Now even if I'm standing in for someone
It's all right because I'm standing next to you
You'll find an open door and I'll take you back once more
Come on home to the arms of a fool
My foolish eyes still cry...
Come on home to the arms of a fool

WHOLE WORLD COMES TO ME
(Betty Walker)
« © '70 Contention Music, ASCAP »
The pages of the past are filled
With names of men and mountains they've climbed
It's the nature of a man to go and seek
The thrill he builds within his mind
But I don't have to climb the highest mountain
To feel the greatest thrill in all eternity
I just climb one flight of stairs and ring the doorbell
And the whole world comes to me
While others all around me
Lay their tracks of tangled patterns just to find
That the new love they've discovered
Is so different than the ones they left behind
I find a brand new advanture every evening
And keep that same old path beneath my feet
I just climb one flight of stairs and ring the doorbell
And the whole world comes to me
Why should I go runnin' to the corners of the earth
Seekin' out the pleasures of its charms
Why should I be wonderin' what the world holds for me
When I hold the world in my arms
No I don't have to climb the highest mountain
To feel the greatest thrill in all eternity
I just climb one flight of stairs and ring the doorbell
And the whole world comes to me
I just climb one flight of stairs and ring the doorbell
And the whole world comes to me

I WANNA BE FREE
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '70 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well I look out the window and what do I see
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees
Everything is free everything but me
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
And throww it just as far as I can slinger
Cause I wanna be free
When my baby left me everything died
But a little bluebird was singin' just outside
Singin' twidle-de-dee fly away with me
Well you know I think I'm a gonna live
Gotta lotta love left in me to give
So I wanna be free
I released my heart my soul and my mind and I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chain the ring of gold before it broke my mind
Well look who's a cryin' and it sure ain't me
But I can't hardly hear and I can't have see oh I wanna be free
I release my heart...

WHAT'S THE USE
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '71 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
What's the use to try and start all over
We'de be better off to let it die
We had our chance put shows to hurt each other
It's over now let's leave it at goodbye
What's the use for a while we might pretend
But the time would come our past would break us up again
Let's forget we ever knew each other let time erase all those memories
Let's pretend that you and I are strangers
What's the use it's gone for you and me
What's the use it's gone for you and me
