MY ANNA MARIA

(Orville Couch - Sam Coleman - Eddie McDuff) « © '67 Touchdown Music, BMI »
Anna Maria uh huh huh

Here I stand behind the lights
And I'll sing my songs again tonight
I'll sing for my Anna Maria
But she's not listenin' and I can see
That someone else is on her mind not me
Still I'll sing for my Anna Maria

(Anna Maria) she sits there with him and so unconcerned
(Anna Maria) how can I tell her with a song how my heart yearns

I sing my song and then I wait
The applause I get from the crowd is great
Every table but one Anna Maria's
She just sits there holdin' his hand
And I can't stand to see her love another man
I won't share my Anna Maria

I leave the stage and with my knife
I take the breath away from my darling's life
I won't share my Anna Maria
That's why I'm here behind these walls
And each night it seems I can hear her call
And I sing for my Anna Maria

Anna Maria she just sits there so unconcerned
Anna Maria uh huh huh

WHAT LOCKS THE DOOR

(Vic McAlpin) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You can't relive the past in 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
What locks the door to the world you're living in

What locks the door to the world you're living in
What kind of key do I need to get in
I'll try anything from solid gold to cent
What locks the door to the world you're living in
[ steel ] Somehow someday I'll find the way to warm your heart
And take anyway these things that's keeping us apart
I need you now but even more I'll need you then
What locks the door to the world you're living in

What locks the door to the world you're living in...
What locks the door to the world you're living in

FUNNY FAMILIAR FORGOTTEN FEELINGS

(Mickey Newbury) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Funny familiar forgotten feelings) start walkin' all over my mind

Last night quietly he walked through my mind
As I lay searching for sleep
Her soft hands reached out she whispered my name
As she brushed a tear from my cheek
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
Start walking all over my mind

It's sad so sad to see love go bad
But a true love would not have gone wrong
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had
Without them I could not go on
With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Walkin' all over my mind

I must go on be strong
Though a million teardrops may fall
Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Stopped walking all over my mind

WONDERING

(Joe Werner) « © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Wondering wondering who's kissing you
Wondering wondering if you're wondering too
Every night every day ever since you went away
I've been wondering wondering maybe you're wondering too

I prayed night and day to the good Lord above
To send down to me the woman that I love

Wondering wondering who's kissing you
Wondering wondering maybe you wonder too
Every day every day ever since you been away
I keep wondering wondering maybe you're wondering too

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

(Freddie Hart - Wynn Stewart - Eddie Steele) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Happy go lucky foot loose fancy free
One look at you made a big change of me
When I met you I knew I met my luck
I fell for you now there's no turning back

It was love love at first sight
It was love love at first sight
My heart was guided by heaven's own light
Love love at first sight

I looked at you I saw love in your eyes
True love the kind of love that never dies
I heard my heart say what's happenin' to me
My eyes told my heart you're in love can't you see

It was love love at first sight...

There's been many girls that I held in my arms
But next to you they were all par excellence
Your pretty face made the world disappear
And all I could see was just you standing there

It was love love at first sight...

JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME

(Jack Clement) « © '67 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
So I feel so blue sometimes I wanna die
And so I've got a broken heart so what
They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men
And I know that someday that I'll forget and love again

But just between you and me I've got no doubts about it
Just between you and me you're too much to fotget
[ steel ] So I've lost the only girl I've ever loved
And so I've never felt so low so what
I'll just tell myself each time I wanna cry
That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes

But just between you and me...

NEON AND THE RAIN

(Gene Crysler) « © '67 Southtown Music, BMI »
As I sit beneath the steerin' wheel a gun in my right hand
I watch the girl I married keep a date with another man
The neon sign above her head blinks motel vacancy
And through the rain it's flashin' like the storm inside of me

And that's the way it looks through the neon and the rain
They really found a gutter and now they're crawlin' down the drain
I'd like to run and yet I know my pride is proud I came
To pay them what I owe them in the neon and the rain

The man with her is my old buddy that I shared my coffee with
Guess he thought she had more kisses on her lips than mine would miss
The traffic splashes my windshield and yet the picture's there
Of the people I caught cheatin' in the motel's neon glare

And that's the way it looks through the neon and the rain...

COLD HARD FACTS OF LIFE

(Bill Anderson) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI / Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to
I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife
I don't think I will phone I'll just head on home
For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life

I passed a little winestore on the corner
I pictured pink champagne by candle light
I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in
My mind not on the cold hard facts of life

(A stranger stood there laughing by the counter
He said I'll take two bottles of your best
Her husband's out of town and there's a party)
He winkled as if to say you know the rest

So I left the store two steps behind the stranger
From there to my house his car stayed in sight
But it wasn't till he turned into my driveway that I learned
I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life

(I drove around the block till I was dizzy
Each time the noise came louder from within
And then I saw our bottle there beside me)
So I drank a fifth of courage and walked in

Oh Lord you should have seen their frantic faces
They screamed and cried please put away that knife
To the devil I may go for there's one thing I know
Who told who the cold hard facts of life
Who told who the cold hard facts of life

WHEN PASSION COMMANDS

(Wayne P. Walker) « © '67 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
There she stood she was lovely as could be
And there I stood with my will leaving me
And I knew when I reached for her hand
I have no conscience when passion commands

Just like a fool I lost all track of time
All I knew was she had to be mine
And although there were no rings in my plans
I have no conscience when passion commands

Going home to the one who loves me
She's still true but how long will she be
How can I ask her to understand
I have no conscience when passion commands
I have no conscience when passion commands

HURT IS ON

(Louise Worsham) « © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
You say that you won't be around
That another you love you've found
Oh how I cry since you are gone
Oh me oh my the hurt is on

I feel so bad luck with pain inside
With a broken heart and a wounded pride
One thing for sure now that you're gone
There is no cure the hurt is on
[ piano ] I feel so bad luck with pain inside
I got a broken heart and a wounded pride
One thing for sure now that you're gone
There is no cure the hurt is on

I JUST CRY TO CLEAR MY EYES

(Becki Bluefield - Finley Duncan - Chuck Reed) « © '67 Chu-Fin Music, BMI »
When my two lips touch the glass
They're drinking mem'ries from the past
But it don't hurt me I just cry to clear my eyes
When my arms hold someone new
It's not them I hold it's you
And it don't hurt me I just cry to clear my eyes

And when my feet walk down the street
Pass the place we used to meet
I close my eyes so I won't see that you're not there
But I don't care
While my heart cries out for you
Your love belongs to someone new
But it don't hurt me I just cry to clear my eyes
[ guitar ] And when my feet walk down the street...

IF YOU EVER WANT TO KILL ME

(Bill Anderson) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If you ever wanna kill me tell me goodbye

Tell a friend to tell a friend to come and see me
And to tell me you've been seen with someone new
And to say that you no longer wanna know me
And the words of love you whispered were untrue

And the next time that I see you have your lipstick smeared a little
And go fix your hair behing the closest door
If you ever wanna kill me really really kill me
Just tell me you don't love me anymore

Don't buy a rifle don't buy a gun don't slip me capsules on the sly
Don't try to push me in the cold rushin' river
If you ever wanna kill me tell me goodbye

Overnight your love became my whole existence
My starlight my raindrops and my sun
And the only way I wanna go on livin'
Is to wrap your life and my life into one

But if you've got any notion someday you might want another
And you're afraid you can't dispose of me
If you ever wanna kill me really really kill me
It's easy all you do is set me free
