HAPPY TRACKS

(Ray Pennington) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know you've heard people say many many times
Don't pass through this world but once you'll get yours and I'll get mine
And I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by
And if you'll just listen you may want to give it a try

You gotta leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

As you walk the tangle streets of life notice your fellow man
When he gets in trouble lend him a helping hand
Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along
Let others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone

Leave a lotta happy tracks...

Don't ever use a good friend for a personal game
To game wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain
Let your happy tracks be many leave 'em everywhere you go
Cause others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow

Yeah leave a lotta happy tracks...
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

CRAZY

(Willie Nelson) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Crazy crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry why do I let myself worry
Wondering what in the world did I do
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you

SONG OF THE WIND

(Bob Milsap) « © '71 Kelso Herston Music, BMI »
I see the shadows as they come to welcome the night
Treading the time when I know I must turn out the light
Here in the darkness I lie down to hurt once again
From loving a mem'ry whose heart sings a song of the wind

So much like a child yet so very much of a man
He was a drifter and I wasn't hard of his plan
He needed me when I met him so I took him in
Not knowing someday he'd follow a song of the wind

The wind sings the moving song of fields that'll always green
The man who has heard its call can't leave a thing unseen

If I should see him and he needs the warmth of a friend
I'll try to help him for the short time he was in
I won't be surprised when I wake and he's gone once again
For he is a dreamer who follows the song of the wind
Yes he is a dreamer whose heart sings a song of the wind

MISSING YOU

(Dale Noe - Red Sovine) « © '61 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Never knew what hurtin' was until today
Never thought that I could ever feel this way
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you

In my dreams I feel you laying next to me
But the morning sun wakes up the loneliness in me
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you

Was leaving me easy to do was someone somewhere waiting for you
If this is what you wanted to do all I ask is a reason from you

Walkin' the floor tryin' to keep my soul from wanting you
And everywhere I look there's something else to remind me of you
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you

MORE YOU SEE ME LESS

(Curtis Wayne) « © '71 Party Time Music, BMI »
For some time I've watched your coldness grow
It's true that nothing lasts forever I guess
But your resentment is so strong that it shows
You seem to like me better the more you see me less

You seem to like me better the less you see of me
The more I try the more you once set free
To love you I done my very best
But you like me better the more you see me less
[ steel ] I can't believe it you're really gonna let me fall
Cause the times that I gave you were my best
My consolation is ever having you at all
But now you like me better the more you see me less

You seem to like me better...
You seem to like me better the more you see me less

BACK THEN

(Jerry Crutchfield) « © '71 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I've loved you for so long that it's hard for me to change
And I know since you're not here there's some things to rearrange
But I keep on dream that someday you just might come back again
Oh and I want everything to be the way it was back then

Back then our love would start through the kiss and morning coffee
And good mornin' darlin' did you sleep all right
Back then my day was made within mem'ry of your lovin'
And the promise that you'd be lovin' me tonight

It's so strange what can happen how the good things can go wrong
Like one day you were with me the next day you were gone
But a million golden memories can't bring you back again
Oh I trade them all to change things to the way they were back then

Back then our love would start...

I ALREADY KNOW (WHAT I'M GETTING FOR MY BIRTHDAY)

(Liz Anderson) « © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I already know what I'm getting for my birthday
It's something I've been wantin' all year
I'm gonna get myself a very special present
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here

There never was much happiness between us
More tears and angry words and never smiles
But now there'll be a lot of things between us
And every one of them would be a mile

I already know what I'm getting...
[ guitar ] At last I'll be happy on my birthday
By getting where your face won't spoil the view
If absence ever makes my heart grow fonder
It would grow fonder of my freedom not of you

I already know what I'm getting...
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here

I WOULDN'T WANT YOU ANY OTHER WAY

(Ray Griff) « © '71 Helene Blue Musique, ASCAP »
I can't put my finger on this love of ours
Life with you keeps changing every day
One minute you're all sunshine and the next you turn to showers
But I wouldn't want you any other way

I've been through your crazy moods so many times
More than once I've been the one who pays
Oh but nothing really matters just as long as you are mine
Cause I wouldn't want you any other way

When you touch me when I'm sleeping I wake up at heaven's door
And I kiss you on the pillow where you lay
With your arms around me tightly I could ask for nothing more
And I wouldn't want you any other way

With your arms around me tightly...

I'LL BE WHATEVER YOU SAY

(Jamie Rogers) « © '71 Con Brio Music, BMI »
I'll be your woman if you like I'll be your lover at night
I'll be your angel on devil's day I'll be whatever you say
I'll be whatever you say

I'll be your wind and your rain I'll blow away
Your blues and wash down your pain
I'll make your bed in a gentle way I'll do whatever you say
I'll do whatever you say

I'll bring you love when you feel like hate
I'll give you time when you're running late
I'll keep alive your dreams till your dying day
I'll do whatever you say

I'll do whatever you say I'll do whatever you say
Cause you know I love you love you love you I love you love you love you
I love you love you love you

ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN

(Tom T. Hall) « © '68 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
One hundred children brave boys and girls
They come from nations all over the world
One hundred children marching along
One hundred children singing their song

Don't blow up the world don't kill all the flowers
Today this is your world tomorrow it's ours
Leave us pure water and forest uncut
Think of tomorrow leave something for us

Your God may be dead but ours is alive
We think without him we cannot survive
Punish the bad men praise all the good
Talk to your neighbors about brotherhood

One hundred children...

This is the song I was singing one night
While I was thinking of wrong and of right
I thought of the good things that still could be done
The marchers now number one hundred and one

One hundred children...
One hundred children...
