TOO MUCH OF YOU
(Gene Hood)
« © '67 Gene Hood Music, BMI »

I've got too much of you still on my mind

Too much of you still on my mind
Thinking of you almost all the time
Missing you since you left me behind
I've got too much of you still on my mind

When you left I thought maybe it was best
For we disagreed and quarreled all the time
Now I'm not so sure I should have let you go
For I've got too much of you still on my mind

Too much of you still on my mind...
I've got too much of you still on my mind

CINCINNATI OHIO

(Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio)

One more hour and I'll be home I close my eyes and rest my bones
Can't be more than a mile or so from Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio
Cincinnati where the river winds cross the Mason and the Dixie Line
Heaven waits for me I know in Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio
[ guitar ]
I guess perhaps the memories got too strong
Grabbed me by my heart strings and pulled me home
I got to thinkin' bout some friends I know in Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio

Cincinnati where the river winds...
[ guitar ]
I walked half way from Lewieville there she lies at the foot of the hill
Shining like a jewel in the valley below Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio

Cincinnati where the river winds...
Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio

LOVE ME AND MAKE IT ALL BETTER
(Eddie Rabbitt)
« © '67 Barmour Music, BMI »

Love me and make it all better come back and ease the pain
Kiss away these burning tears say you love me again

I was wrong accusing you of unfaithfulness
Cause you walked away and took all my happiness

Love me and make it all better...

Well I'm a fool for thinking I could live without you
Maybe my own weakness cause all my doubt in you

Love me and make it all better...

MY ELUSIVE DREAMS
(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »

You followed me to Texas you followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
Then you went with me to Alabam things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on

And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us move on
And now all we have is each other and a little mem'ry that we can cling to
But still you won't let me go on all alone

I know you're tired of following...

LEFT OVER FEELINGS
(William C. Rainsford)
« © '67 Careers Music, BMI »

Slowly very slowly you're fading away
And little parts about you I'm forgetting each day
So if I cry when I see you don't think I'm still your fool
It's just a left over feeling that I have for you
You know it takes quite a while to forget your whole world
Especially when the whole world was you
But time has been kind to this heart of mine and your mem'ries are almost through
So don't think for a minute that I'll come back to you
Cause it's over and it's done our love affair is through
So if I cry when I see you don't think I'm still your fool
It's just the left over feelings that I have for you

WE'LL TRY A LITTLE BIT HARDER
(David Wilkins - Johnny Riels)
« © '67 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »

We'll try a little bit harder to keep our love to stay together
We'll try a littler bit harder to make it through the stormy weather
And when the rains come and the wind blows and the snow falls
I'll hold you close and never let you go

We'll try a little bit harder to make our love grow a little bit stronger
We'll try a little bit harder to make our kisses last a little bit longer
And when our love's on stormy seas I'll look at and you'll look at me
And we'll know our love will always be

We'll try a little bit harder to keep the flame ember burnin' high
We'll try a little bit harder to make everything come our side

We'll try a little bit harder...
And we'll know our love will always be

I'M STILL NOT OVER YOU
(Willie Nelson)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I'm still not over you that feeling's still the same
I'm still not over you I find that nothing's changed
And perhaps some day I'll find somebody new
But now it's much too soon I'm still not over you

Today I made a point to go somewhere I knew you'd be
I had to know if you still had the same affect on me
And the moment that I saw you there I knew
No matter what I do I'm still not over you

I'm still not over you...

GENTLE ON MY MIND
(John Hartford)
« © '67 Ensign Music, BMI »

It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shacked by forgotten words and bons
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and I'd be planted on their columns now that binds me
Or somethin' that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheet fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
And some other woman cryin' to her mother cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dipped my cup of soap back from a gurglin' cracklin' caltron in some train yard
My beard a roughen coal pile and a dirty hat pulled down across my face
Through cupped hands around a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind

NO ONE'S GONNA HURT YOU ANYMORE
(Steve Karliski - Ted Cooper)
« © '67 Painted Desert Music, BMI »

You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie
Forget him baby he's just not worth hurtin' for
Your heartache's over it's all gone I'll make you happy from now on
And no one's gonna hurt you anymore

You've been mistreated neglected and cheated
Out of the love you should have had
But give me a while and I'll make you smile
For the times he's made you sad

You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie
Baby no one's gonna hurt you anymore

You've been mistreated...

Your heartache's over it's all gone I'll make you happy from now on
And no one's gonna hurt you anymore
Baby no one's gonna hurt you anymore

DON'T PUT YOUR HURT IN MY HEART
(Mickey Jaco)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Don't put your hurt in my heart
Stop what you're planning before you start
Yes I loved you once it's true but now I'm over you
Don't put your hurt in my heart

Don't put your burning in my eyes
Cause the burning only stops when I cry
Once my teardrops fell like rain washed away the burning flame
And it washed all your hurt from my heart

Don't put your sorry in my mind
Cause it's useless and you're only wasting time
I got over you before I can't chance it anymore
So don't put your hurt in my heart
No don't put your hurt in my heart

YOUR TENDER LOVING CARE
(Buck Owens)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I don't need a ship to sail the ocean
I don't need fancy clothes to wear
I just need your sweet sweet lips to kiss me
I just need your tender loving care

Winter needs the north wind and the snowflakes
Springtime needs the flowers soft and rare
I just need to feel your arms around me
I just need your tender loving care
[ steel ]
The days go by so slow when you're not with me
Nights are long and oh so hard to bear
Everything is nothing here without you
And I'm nothing without your tender loving care
I just need your tender loving care

WHAT LOCKS THE DOOR
(Vic McAlpin)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »

What locks the door to the world you're living in
What kind of key do I need to get in
I tried anything solid gold to tin
What locks the door to the world you're living in

You can't relive your past with the dream that's gone
You can't find love that will last in your world alone
A hurt so tall has built the wall where fate begins
Oh what locks the door to the world you're living in

What locks the door...
