WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW
(Lois Mann - Henry Bernard - Murray Burns)
« © '67 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
What am I gonna do now she's gone she's broken every vow
I'll forget her someday somehow what am I gonna do now
Each time I think of the past how love was mine and went away so fast
I've hurt as much as my heart will allow what am I gonna do now
I'm afraid of living alone it looks like that's how I'll be from now on
To have her back I would humbly bow what am I gonna do now
[ ac.guitar ]
To have her back I would humbly bow oh what am I gonna do now

I'LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE
(Lois Mann - Harry Bernard - Murray Burns)
« © '57 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
I'll sail my ship alone with all the dreams I own drifting out across the ocean blue
I'll sail my ship alone though all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you
Well we've been sweethearts for so long now you say we're through
The love we shared is just a memory
I had built a ship of dreams and planned them all for you
And now I guess what is to be will be
[ guitar ]
I gave a message to the wind to take back on to you hoping you would hear my SOS
Well maybe you would come back home my darling if you knew
How much my aching heart is in distress
Oh I'll sail my ship alone...
Yeah when it starts to sink then I'll blame you

JUST A BEND OF THE ROAD
(Judy West)

(It's just a bend of the road)
Are you weary and tired of living does it all seem to be thankless giving
Don't worry my friend it isn't the end it's just a bend of the road
Have you reached for someone's hand and found that's she don't understand
Keep reaching my friend it isn't the end it's just a bend of the road
It's never the end there's always one more bend
Another day another way a year or two
So walk another mile remember with the smile happiness can afford to lose you
At times when you're feeling so lonely and you long to find someone to love you only
Keep looking my friend it isn't the end
There'll may be someone around the bend of the road
There'll may be someone around the bend of the road

I ALMOST LOST MY MIND
(Ivory Joe Hunter)
« © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she left me behind
I went to see a gypsy and to have my fortune read
I went to see a gypsy to have my fortune read
It nearly drove me carzy when she said what she said
Oh I can tell you poeple the news was not so good
I can you the poeple the news was not so good
She said your baby's left you this time she's gone for good uh uh uh

COLD HARD FACTS OF LIFE
(Bill Anderson)
« © '67 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'll 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
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 drive 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
And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in
Oh you should have seen their frantic faces
They screamed and cried please put away that knife
I guess I'll go to hell or rot here in the cell
But who told who the cold hard facts of life
who told who the cold hard facts of life

AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN'
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ain't done one single thing this morning except for crying all night long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Nothin's been the same since you left me everything has gone from right to wrong
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin' the red and golden rainbow turned to blue
With every breath I take I feel like dyin'
Life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you
Each and every day I've spent without you is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't a gonna get no lovin' till you come home

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'll just back up and say
I gotta be walkin' on new grass singin' a new song
Tomorrow there's no telling where I'll be
But I'll 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 move on
I gotta be walkin' 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
When the grass starts to grow I'll back up and say
Well I gotta be walkin' on new grass...

IT JUST HAPPENED THAT WAY
(Fred Carter)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
>
I didn't plan to fall in love with you it just happened that way
And all the time inside my heart I knew that I'd regret it some day
Now I can't stand to be away from you but I'm alone every day
I didn't plan to fall in love with you it just happened that way
I saw you and I loved you why I'll never know
There wasn't one chance in a million that our love would grow
You were too far up above me any fool could plainly see
But like driftwood on the river I floated on helplessly
I didn't plan to fall in love...

OTHER WOMAN (IN MY LIFE)
(Don Rollins)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Don't accuse me of being without feelings if you do you know that you're wrong
For it was you who was careless and you drove me into another's arms
The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more imprtant I feel wanted again I can't give up the other woman in my life
[ steel ]
I'm like a float in the middle of a river I can't climb out on either side
And if I go over the deep end it's because sweetheart you haven't tried
The other woman isn't prettier...

MISTY BLUE
(Bob Montgomery)
« © '65 Dimensionsl Songs Of The Knoll, BMI / Talmont Music, BMI »
Oh it's been such a long long time looks like I could get you off my mind
But I can't for just the thought of you turns my world a misty blue
Just the mention of your name turns the flicker to a flame
I think of things that we used to do then my whole world turns misty blue
I should forget you heaven knows I've tried
But when I said I'm glad we're through my heart knows that I've lied
Oh it's been such a long long time looks like I could get you off my mind
But I can't for just the thought of you turns my world a misty blue
Yes just the thought of you turns my world a misty blue

LEARN FROM A FOOL
(Jimmy Peppers)
« © '67 Husky Music, BMI »
You and your new love are gonna make it and knowing this is tearing me apart
You offered me your love I wouldn't take it
Now I'm hurting all the way through my heart
Look at me you're looking at a fool and the whole world could learn a lesson from me
If you want to know about lonely just ask me and learn from a fool
[ steel - guitar ]
Look at me...
Just ask me and learn from a fool
