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...

DREAM ON

(Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter) « © '79 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I've heard there's talk around that I'm out of control
Something about too many bottles and a love that's grown cold
But you know talk is cheap and sometimes these stories get old
But I keep on singing my songs and I still got some soul

So dream on if you think I still carry the flame
Dream on if you think that I still feel the same
Your love is just an old memory
And I'm all right you don't have to worry bout me
[ guitar ] I've spent my whole life going the way that I choose
And I've tried to find a way where no one could lose
It seems unkind to know that maybe I've done it all wrong
When I see my life flashing before me sometimes in their songs

So dream on if you think I still carry the flame...
Oh dream on if you think I still carry the flame...

HELLO TROUBLE (COME ON IN)

(Orville Couch - Eddie McDuff) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI / Tyler Publishing, BMI »
Woke up this morning happy as could be
I looked out my window and what did I see
Comin' up my sidewalk was as big as day
Well here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see when you went away

Hey hello trouble (hello trouble come on in come on in)
Well you talk about heartaches where the world have you been
No I ain't had the mis'ries since you've been gone
(Well hello trouble trouble trouble) welcome home

We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes
And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'd listen to you
For I'm just a little part of all the life you've lived
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give

Hey hello trouble (hello trouble) come on in (come on in)
Well you talk about heartaches where the world have you been
No I ain't had the mis'ries yeah since I don't know when
Hello trouble (trouble) trouble come on in
[ guitar - steel ] Hey hello trouble (hello trouble)...
I said hello trouble trouble trouble welcome home

BURNING BRIDGES

(Walter Scott) « © '57 Broad River Publishing, BMI »
Found some letters you wrote me this morning
They told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothing to remind me of you

Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow

Sold the house we once planned together
I said goodbye to the friends we once knew
And I moved to the faraway city
Trying hard to forget about you

Burning bridges behind me...
All I want is to forget you somehow

WINO THE CLOWN

(Curly Putman - Ron Hellard - Bucky Jones) « © '82 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
He's got a funny red nose old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
Children gather round when he falls down
Everybody laughs at wino the clown

They just don't know the reason why that when she died he died inside
He lost all his will to live and he had no use for pride
Not even all his children's love could bring him back again
He just crawled into a bottle now he's waitin' for the end

He's got a funny red nose old baggy pants...

They laugh when he comes down the street stumbling all alone
At the way he smiles and holds his arm just as if someone's holding on
They all think he's lost his mind talking to thin air
Oh but only me and my daddy knows that mama's walking there

He's got a funny red nose old baggy pants...
But I never laugh when my daddy falls down
I'll always love wino the clown

YOU MUST HAVE WALKED ACROSS MY MIND AGAIN

(Wayne Kemp - Warren Robb) « © '82 Tree Publishing, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I woke up downtown in jail again this morining
They say that I went half crazy with the booze
Then they hit me one more time not for no reason
But they can't hurt me not half as much as you

Yes you must have walked across my mind again
I don't recall what I've done or where I've been
I was holding my own then everything went wrong
And you must have walked across my mind again
[ guitar ] That old jukebox won't be playing my favorite song no more
The bottle that I through knocked out its lights
They say I damaged everything I put my hands upon
And one man may not make it through the night

Yes you must have walked across my mind again...
Yes you must have walked across my mind again

I'D RATHER DIE YOUNG

(Beasley Smith - Billy Vaughn - Randy Wood) « © '53 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I would rather die young than grow old without you
So tell me you love me whatever you do
All them others may tempt you and they'll tell you they care
It would only bring sorrow in a secret affair

Lord I'd rather die young than grow old all alone
So tell me you love me let me call you my own
To see someone's picture where my old picture hung
Believe me my darling I would rather die young
[ steel ] Oh Lord I'd rather die young than grow old without you
So don't ever leave me on whatever you do
Oh Lord you see someone's picture where my old picture once hung
Believe me my darling Lord I'd rather die young
Won't you believe me my darling Lord I'd rather die young

GIRL AT THE END OF THE BAR

(John D. Anderson - Lionel A. Delmore) « © '82 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Cypress Music, ASCAP »
If you'd ever been drinking I know that you'd seen her
At the end of the bar all alone
She knows what you're thinking when you try to approach her
And anything you say might be wrong
She's not there for company she don't like to remember
She once let herself go too far
She's not there to complain she just wants to remain
The girl at the end of the bar

The girl at the end of the bar who once let herself go too far
Now carries love like a scar the girl at the end of the bar

She at so many hard nuts she don't play the jukebox
She's lived all those sad songs first chance
What's made her so bitter and why love has quit her
Is because she has loved the wrong man
The smile she's not wearing is the sign she's not carying
And the part of her permanence call
She's not there to complain she just wants to remain
The girl at the end of the bar
She's the girl at the end of the bar

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

(Curly Putman - Ron Hellard - Bucky Jones) « © '83 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
She said trust me and I did love me I did
She said hold me as tight as you can
She said I live just for you won't you live for me too
She said I could never love another man

All those famous last words oh how they hurt you
They go down in my mem'ry as the saddest I've heard
All those heart breaking words she whispered so sweetly
Like I love you believe me famous last words
[ piano ] When I come back she asked it won't be like the past
She said forgive me for I still love you so
But I still hear in my mind it's forever this time
As I stand here and watching her go

All those famous last words oh how they hurt you...
