MY BIG IRON SKILLET

(Bryan Creswell - Wilda Creswell) « © '69 Party Time Music, BMI »
You are doing wrong again it's plain for all to see
And you think here at home is where I ought to be
There's gonna be some changes made when you get in tonight
Cause I'm gonna teach you wrong from right

With my big iron skillet in my hand
Gonna show you how a little woman quits a great big man
If you live through the fight we're gonna have when you get home
You'll wake up and find yourself alone
[ steel ] You say you're sick and tired of me and that I look a mess
But it's never done on you this is my only dress
I have never met a man who's quite the likes of you
I don't know why I ever said I do

With my big iron skillet...
With my big iron skillet...

EVERYTHING'S LEAVING

(Red Lane) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The sunlight turns the shadows that fall across my window sill
And grow longer and longer as the sun vacates the sky
The wind blown rustling leaves are racing down my driveway
As I visualize you standing on the hill waving goodbye

Cause everything's leaving everything's leaving
Since you've left me it seems that nothing wants to stay around
I think that I should take the hint and get on out of this town
Cause everything's leaving everything's leaving
[ guitar ] My teardrops are running wild and dripping off my shoetops
And disappearing quickly in the rug upon the floor
Old memories apply expanding pressures to my thinking
Memories of love that may be gone for evermore

Cause everything's leaving...

TWO SEPARATE BARSTOOLS

(Billy Graham) « © '68 Party Time Music, BMI »
(One love is breaking in two)

Two lonely people drinking alone both with a lot on their minds
Each of them thinking the others untrue killing their pain with the wine

On two separate barstools in two separate bars
Sit two separate fools me and you
Lost in two foolish worlds built by two doubting mind
While one love is breaking in two

I picture you at a party somewhere having the time of your life
You can see me in some other man's arms pretending that I'm not your wife

On two separate barstools...
While one love is breaking in two

YOU CREATED ME

(Curtis Wayne) « © '67 Party Time Music, BMI »
Stand back now take a good look tell me do you like what you see
I'm gettin' better even close friends know the change in me
It didn't take long cause I learned fast tell me is this the way you want me to be
It's too late to turn back you must accept me for you created me

Where you go I tag along I followed you from right to wrong
You wanted me to live your life and you only live at night
Creator look me over tell me am I more than you expect me to be
You made me over you must accept me for you created me
You made me over you must accept me for you created me

YOUR GOOD GIRL'S GONNA GO BAD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I've never seen the inside of a barroom
Or listen to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up hollered up then you oughta be glad
Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad

I've even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad...
Yes your good girl's a gonna go bad

TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS

(Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh) « © '69 Airefield Music, BMI / Glen Campbell Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
If you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you're going the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness just show a little kindness
Shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You've got to try a little kindness...
You've got to try a little kindness...

JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME

(Jack Clement) « © '67 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(Just between you and me)

So I feel so blue sometime I want to 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 someday I'll forget and love again

But just between you and me I've got my doubts about it
Just between you and me you're too much to fotget

So I've lost the only one I 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 I'm not so sure about it
Cause just between you and me you're too much to fotget
You're too much to fotget

PAIN OF IT ALL

(Jerry Veneable) « © '68 Party Time Music, BMI »
I've got your letter recieved today
You say you decided to go your own way
I can't believe it our world was so small
Oh the pain the pain of it all

I keep hoping you'll change your mind and come back to me
For the key to my happiness you now hold can't you see
I'll sit here crying and wait for your call
But oh the pain the pain of it all
[ piano ] I keep hoping you'll change your mind...

BY THE TIME YOU GOT TO PHOENIX

(Jim Webb) « © '67 Sosaha Music, BMI »
By the time you got to Phoenix I was rising
I read the note you left hanging on my door
Once again I read the words that said you're leaving
But you've left me so many times before

By the time you made Albuquerque I was working
And at lounch I gave your best friend a call
He told me that he'd love me for so long now
He's been waiting for you to leave that's all

By the time you make Oklahoma you'll be lonely
You'll remember all the love I gave to you
You'll cry and you'll whisper I'm sorry
But it's too late cause I'd found a love that's true

HUNTER

(Red Lane) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's a stranger in town called the Hunter
Wild and reckless loving is his game
He'll whisper lies and lure you to his pitfall
And leave you trapped in your own shame

The Hunter's always looking in the shadows
Waiting to pounce upon his prey
Sould you give him more than a passing glance
He'll haunt you down and steal your heart away

Pay no attention to his silver tongue
Be careful of his dashing manner
Just keep your arms around the one you love
And beware of the Hunter
[ guitar ] The hunter knows a woman is a woman
And each of you will have your time and place
He'll track you one by one until you're fallin'
And leave you there with mud upon your face

Pay no attention to his silver tongue...
Ah don't be trapped by the hunter
