SHINE ON (SHINE ALL YOUR SWEET LOVE ON ME)

(Bob Morrison - Johnny McRae) « © '83 Bob Morrison Music, ASCAP / Music City Music, ASCAP »
She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine
And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen
She's by far the biggest star the world will never see
But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me

Shine on shine on shine on though the world may never see
Oh my baby won't you shine on shine on shine all your sweet love on me
[ steel ] She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars
She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars
But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be
But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me

Shine on shine on shine on...

STILL DOIN' TIME

(Michael P. Heeney - John E. Moffat) « © '81 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Has it been a year since the last time I've seen her
My God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
Is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell
Still payin' for my cheatin' crime
And I got a long way to go still doin' time

Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison
Still doin' time where a man ain't forgiven
My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
Each morning I wake up and I find still doin' time
[ guitar + steel ] When you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
In a place where the sun never shines
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here still doin' time

Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison...

C. C. WATERBACK

(Merle Haggard) « © '82 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ with Merle Haggard ]
CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise
One's for my aching head the other's for my bloodshot eyes
Last night I let it all hang out I guess that's how my head got sore
CC Waterback I can't stand the pain no more

Last night we got invited to a party at the Jones' place
For fun and games and booze and things I guess I must drunk a case
But that lady of mine drank warm red wine til she couldn't even find the door
She wound up on the Jones' bed and I wound up on the floor

CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise...
[ trumpet ] CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise...

SAME OLE ME

(Paul Overstreet) « © '81 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
With time my face has wrinkled but my blue eyes still sparkle
With the love I felt for you the day we met
To me you're just as lovely as the first time I saw you
Times have changed but our harts haven't yet

I'm still the same ole me loving the same sweet you
Time hasn't withered our hearts
And when our days are through I'll still be loving you
Even death can't keep us apart

These hands that once were steady have now begun to tremble
But when they touch you the same old feeling's there
But your smile is stillas special as it was the day we married
Years haven't changed the love we share
If I go before you to my home on high

I'm still the same ole me...
I'm still the same ole me loving the same sweet you

I ALWAYS GET LUCKY WITH YOU

(Merle Haggard - Freddy Powers - Gary Church) « © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've had good luck and bad luck and no luck it's true
But I always get lucky with you
I've burned on and turned down
When the bars close up too but I always get lucky with you

I keep two strikes against me most all of the time
When it's down to just a phone call I'm minus the dime
There's been good days and bad days but when the day is all through
I'll always get lucky with you
[ guitar - piano ] I keep two strikes against me...
I'll always get lucky with you

RADIO LOVER

(Curly Putman - Ron Hellard - Bucky Jones) « © '83 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
He kisses her goodbye and heads for the radio station
Oh he hates to leave her but he's got another show to do
He knows she gets lonely so he lets her know he's thinking about her
And though millions are listening she knows who he's talking to

Comin' to you live like I do every night from the heart of your radio
I play a little sad and I play a lotta glad and a few ol' cheatin' songs
Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land found a love just as true as mine
Goodnight angel sleep tight darling and close your pretty brown eyes
When the show is over your radio lover will be home by your side

She's laying in bed as her DJ tells her that he loves her
It would break his heart if he knew she wasn't there alone
She knows when to cheat and when to tell her lover to leave her
She knows they'll be safe just as long as his show goes on

He planned a surprise for the night of their first anniversary
He taped his show just so he could be home with her
The radio was playing and as he walked in on her and her lover
He heard himself saying the last words that they ever heard

Comin' to you live like I do every night...
Yeah I'm comin' to you live like I do every night...

YESTERDAY'S WINE

(Willie Nelson) « © '71 Full Nelson Music, BMI »
[ with Merle Haggard ]
Miracles appear in the strangest of places
Fancy meeting you here
The last time I saw you was just out of Houston
Let me sit down and buy you a beer

Your presence is welcome with me and my friend here
This is a hangout of mine
We come here quite often to listen to music
And to taste of yesterday's wine

Yesterday's wine yesterday's wine
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine
Yesterday's wine yesterday's wine
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine

You give the appearence of one widely travelled
I'll bet you've seen things in your time
Come sit down beside us and tell us your story
If you think you'll like yesterday's wine

Yesterday's wine...
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine

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 and 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

TENNESSEE WHISKEY

(Dean Dillon - Linda Hargrove) « © '81 Algee Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I used to spend my nighttime in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
And you brought me back from being too far gone

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay strong on your love all the time
[ steel ] I looked for love and all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
But when you poured out too hard I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey...
I stay strong on your love all the time

WE DIDN'T SEE A THING

(Gary Gentry) « © '83 Algee Music, BMI »
[ with Ray Charles ]
Well I swear I didn't see you with your wife's best girlfriend
Drinkin' beer and a dancin' to that western swing
And I didn't see you kiss her and leave that barroom with her
No I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
George I know I didn't hear you tell that bloudm that you weren't married
I know I didn't see you hidin' your weddin' ring either did I
And I know I couldn't have heard you call your wife
And tell her that you were working
No I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
We've got to stick together to keep our stories straight
No don't forget Ray I was down in Atlanta sure you were and I was workin' late
Yeah you know it's always good to see you George it's good to see you too
But I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
[ guitar ] Hey Ray by the way do you leave that hundred bucks you owe me
I don't know what you're talkin' about George
Well I'm sure you recall our bet on last night's football game
No I don't but you know if I had seen you I certainly would've paid ya
But I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
We've got to stick together to keep our stories straight
Don't forget I was down in Atlanta and don't you forget I was working late
But I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
