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 living 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

Oh 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...
Still doin' time

COULDN'T LOVE HAVE PICKED A BETTER PLACE TO DIE

(Curly Putman - Bucky Jones) « © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
Of all the people in this world why you and I
With lovers here and everywhere who don't care enough to try
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die

And of all the hearts in all the world why yours and mine
With so many places love could die it's so much easier to find
But it's in our hearts it's in our bed and it's even in your eyes
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die

Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me
Oh but it's dead and gone and all these tears won't bring it back to life
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die

Oh but it's dead and gone and all these tears won't bring it back to life
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die

I WON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE

(Troy Seals - Max D. Barnes) « © '81 Big Yellow Dog Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI »
You're my always and forever you're the one hung the moon
After all these nights together I still get lost in your perfume
And if I could write a love song every line would tell the truth
It would be a warm and soft one he'd watch my heart would say to you

When you see me walk on water when the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over I won't need you anymore
Oh the feelings lay so easy lying here the way we are
And no one else could ever hold me like the heavens hold the stars

When you see me walk on water when the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over I won't need you anymore
No I won't need you I won't need you anymore

TOGETHER ALONE

(Bobby Braddock) « © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI »
She watches movies but he don't
He watches football but she won't
They've got a lonely house to hold together
His Playboy pictures turn him on
Her heart's so cold and lonely stone
Get big on and on and on there together

Together alone together alone
They're at the house and they're not at home
Together alone

No angry words that they'll regret
They're never fuss or fighting yet
Sleep side by side but seldom get all together
They wanna plod outside of time
With them the maples gathered round
Someday they'll lie beneath the ground there together

Together alone together alone
They're not unlike so many I've known
Together alone together alone together alone

DADDY COME HOME

(Bobby Braddock) « © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI »
A year and a half may not seem like much time
But its almost forever when you're only nine
Yes she still adores him and tears fill her eyes
As she clings to her pillow and cries

(Daddy come home oh please daddy come home
Sweet daddy are you out there somewhere all alone
Was mommy mean to you did I treat you wrong
Daddy oh daddy come home)

Down on the coast in a honeymoon sweet
Someones tossing and turning and trying to sleep
Was that just the wind in the pines cross the bay
Or a small voice from so far away

(Daddy come home oh please daddy come home...
Daddy oh daddy come home)

GOOD ONES AND BAD ONES

(Joe Chambers - Larry Jenkins) « © '71 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Some come from heaven and some crawl from hell
And the good fight the bad for your soul
Bit it's hard to tell the lie from the truth
When you find one that easy to hold

There's no way of knowing which one you been lovin'
Till you leave 'em or you lose her for good
And by then it's too late you just mark it up to fate
Either way you end up a fool

It's a fine line between heaven and hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between heaven and hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good

A good one will love you for all that she's worth
A bad one will take you for more
A good one will cherish the key to your heart
And a bad one a key to your door

A good one will love you for richer or poorer
But that makes the bad'er one worse
A good one will love you till death do you part
And a bad one makes sure you go first

It's a fine line between heaven and hell...
It's a fine line between heaven and hell...

GIRL YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO SAY GOODBYE

(Tom T. Hall) « © '79 Hallnote Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you
You said I was a person you could trust
You told me that you love me in a way that couldn't die
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye

You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye
I stood and watched you walk away and you know honey I didn't even cry
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye

You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve
You said that you'd come running day or night
You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye

You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
You hipnotized the hurt right out of me
I stood and watched you walk away and oh honey I didn't even cry
Girl you sure know how to say goodbye

SOMEDAY MY DAY WILL COME

(Earl Montgomery - Chris Ryder - V.L. Haywood) « © '81 Careers Music, BMI »
Someday my day will come and I won't need a thing at all
Yes I can stand proud and tall and say just what I feel
Someday my day will come when dreams become reality
I'll be the one I want to be someday my day will come

It's a tiring path we travel through
For each step I take Lord I'm set back two
We all have roles in life to play
And I'll play a great one someday

Someday my day will come I'll hold true love right in my hand
I'll touch the pretty rainbow's end and my cup will overflow
Someday my day will come I'll watch my ship as it comes in
My castles won't be made of sand someday my day will come
I'll hold true love right in my hand someday my day will come

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 still as special as it was the day we married
Years haven't changed the love we share

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