LITTLE BOY SOLDIER

(Curly Putman) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The train is late as we stand and wait in the cold cold rain
And my tiny son with his toy gun stands by me
In his soldier suit and a tiny flag clutched tightly in his hand
Little boy soldier little boy soldier waiting for his dad

The night wears on and his big brown eyes grow sleepy
He can't understand why mommy stands there weepin'
Why that should be the grandest time he and mommy ever had
Little boy soldier little boy soldier waiting for his dad

The train pulls in and his happy grin turns to surprise
Just a box of pine all covered fine with stars and stripes
With diverted look he wonders why his mommy looks so sad
Little boy soldier little boy soldier run to me his dad

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again the tears have stopped falling
Long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ steel ] Together again the grey skies're gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
And nothing else matters we're together again

HURTIN'S ALL OVER

(Harlan Howard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

A year ago today I felt like dying
As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has a way of changing yesterday
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Yes the hurtin's all over all over my body
It started in my heart and it's spread all over me
Father time did his part took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over all over me
[ dobro ] Now my arms ache to hold you like they used to
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress how my lips ache to be kissed
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Yes the hurtin's all over...

MY BABY WALKED RIGHT OUT ON ME

(Curtis Wayne) « © '68 Party Time Music, BMI »
My baby just walked right out the door he said he wasn't comin' back no more
Well I hope he's happy now he's free my baby just walked right out on me

But I saw it coming for some time should have known he'd never be mine
Lonely nights are all that's left in sight wish I had him back with all my might
I hope he's happy I'll never be my baby just walked right out on me
[ guitar ] But I saw it coming for some time...
My baby just walked right out the door...
My baby just walked right out the door...

DON'T TOUCH ME

(Hank Cochran) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
But that look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
And I'm thirsty for your love with all my heart
So don't love me then act as though we've never kissed
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something that you might take away
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

GIRL DON'T HAVE TO DRINK TO HAVE FUN

(Charlie Williams - Joe Nixon) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know what you're doing and I'll save you the trouble
I saw you wink for the waiter to slip me a double
If you want some barroom swinger I'm not the one
Cause I don't think a girl's gotta drink to have fun

Mama said when I went out in the world
Drinking ain't the thing for a sweet young girl
I didn't listen then but now I'm here to shout
That my dear old mama knew what she was talkin' about
So if you want another round just order one
Cause I don't think a girl's gotta drink to have fun
[ guitar ] Don't bother bringing a bottle when you call
Cause I like my kisses straight or not at all
I wanna be sure I remember everyone
And I don't think a girl's gotta drink to have fun

Mama said when I went out...
No I don't think a girl's gotta drink to have fun

SWINGING DOORS

(Merle Haggard) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
This ol' smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
I just called to let you know where I'll be living
It's not much but I feel welcome here inside

I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time
[ guitar ] I've got everything I need to drive me crazy
And I've got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches
Thanks to you I'm always here till closing time

And I've got swinging doors...
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time

THERE STANDS THE GLASS

(Russ Hull - Mary Jean Shurtz - Audrey Greisham) « © '53 Jamie Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
There stands the glass fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain darling I'm on my way

I wonder where you are tonight I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim darling I'm on my way

I wonder where you are tonight...

I TALK A PRETTY STORY

(Yvonne Devaney) « © '68 Party Time Music, BMI »
I'll forget my troubles start my life anew
Make a new beginning forget the past and you
I'll burn all my bridges leaving you behind
Find myself a new love free you from my mind

I talk a pretty story I tell myself it's true
That any man could always take the place of you
I talk a pretty story but I'm not really me
Cause my pretty pretty story can never be
[ guitar ] I'll tell him it's over overwith and done
Tell him I'm happy and I'm the lucky one
A fun while it lasted that's the way I play
Love 'em and leave 'em can't get hurt that way

I talk a pretty story...

I BETCHA MY HEART I LOVE YOU

(Bob Miller - Esther VanSciver) « © '50 MCA Music, ASCAP »
I betcha my heart I love ye I betcha my dreams are of ye
That's why I sing so loud I'm floatin' on the cloud
I betcha my heart I love ye

I woke up this morning so early remembered your hair was curly
I rolled over and then I dreamed of you again
I betcha my heart I love ye (yodel)
[ guitar ] I'm out of this world I betcha it started the day I metcha
When you're close to me it's just like TNT
I betcha my heart I love ye

Well I betcha my heart I love ye...

NO PLACE TO GO BUT HOME

(Harlan Howard) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They turned out the lights friends have said their goodnight
Now there's no place to go but home

I've had a beautiful evening for awhile I've forgot you were gone
Now you're back on my mind how I hate closing time
For there's no place to go but home

No place to go but home and nobody home when I get there
They turned out the lights friends have said their goodnight
Now there's no place to go but home
[ guitar - steel ] I drive through this ghost of the city and I've never felt so alone
It's the world's time to sleep and my time to weep
For there's no place to go but home
For there's no place to go but home

WISHING WELL

(Billy Graham) « © '67 Party Time Music, BMI »
I'm goin' fishing in the wishing well I'm gonna get me back my dime
I made a wish but it didn't come true I get cheated every time

I didn't tell a soul about my wish so I didn't break the spell
Got lots of time and nothing special to do I'm going fishing in the wishing well

I closed my eyes and turned around three times threw it over my left shoulder
I wished to myself that when I saw you again my heart would be a little bit bolder

I'm going fishing in the wishing well casue when I look into your eyes
My heart got weak and made me run away just like all those other times
[ guitar ] I closed my eyes and turned around three times...

I'm going fishing in the wishing and when I get me back my dime
I'll add some wishes for a wedding gown and save my wishes up for wedding bells
I'm going fishing in the wishing well I'm going fishing in the wishing well
