ONLY DADDY THAT'LL WALK THE LINE

(Ivy J. Bryant) « © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Ev'rybody knows you been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep a steppin' out of line and a messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit
Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you bettter do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

I keep a workin' every day all you wanna do is play
I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm a comin' unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right
Cause ever since you were...
[ guitar ] You keep a packin' up my clothes nearly ev'rybody knows
That you're still just a puttin' me on
But when I start a walkin' gonna hear you start a squawkin'
And a beggin' me to come back home
Cause ever since you were...
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE

(Harlan Howard) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Go West Young Man the signs all seem to say
There's San Diego Frisco or LA
Leave that cold cold woman far behind
Warm yourself in that California sunshine

Go west young man become a movie star
Or anything except the fool you are
Expose the lonely corners of your mind
To a little dab of that California sunshine

I need a change I've hhad it up to here
She's just playing game it's very clear
But her playmate will soon be hard to find
Cause I'll be in that California sunshine
[ guitar ] They say those California gals are fine
They know how to really warp your mind
Well one of you get ready cause you're mine
I'm a headin' for that California sunshine

Yes I need a change I've headed up to here...
Baby I'll be in that California sunshine

WEAKNESS IN A MAN

(Jerry Chesnut) « © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Funny how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you
How could you abuse and use the kindeness and tenderness that I have shown you
If I'd have known then I'd have shown the strength on which my love could make a stand
But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness for the weakness in your man

I can give you almost anything if I know what you're lookin' for
I can give you ev'rything any other man can give and more
He may promise you the world but I can give you ev'rything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man
[ guitar + harmonica ] I may live my life alone with walls of stone inside some lonely cell
But no man's gonna take the love I own and ever live to tell the tale
So don't forsake the vows you've made and don't remove my little golden band
And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man
Don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man

SORROW (BREAKS A GOOD MAN DOWN)

(Waylon Jennings - Jimmy Rule) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Disappointments weigh so heavy leaves its wreckage all around
Once a good man once respected sorrow breaks a good man down
Had a good love had a good life now there's sadness all around
Dread the darkness hate the daylight sorrow breaks a good man down

I remember all the good times when the world was ours to claim
Then she left me and took the sunshine ev'ry night wind speaks her name
Can't stop loving can't stop living there's no answer to be found
No ambition just existing sorrow breaks a good man down
[ guitar ] I remember all the good times...
Sorrow breaks a good man down

CHRISTINA

(Steve Karliski) « © '67 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Their eyes are upon you as they sat there drinkin'
Their hands reach up for you with lust in their hearts
As you dance away I know just what they're thinkin'
As I watch them watch you it just tears me apart

Dance while my heart breaks Christina
Dance to the strings of your shame and my sorrow
I'll take you home when it's over
To dream all the dreams of a brighter tomorrow
[ trumpet ] Your eyes flash at them and the crowd all goes wild
To them you're just a woman to go with their wine
I look at you and all I can see is a child
Hating the world makes you old before your time

Dance while my heart breaks Christina...
Dance while my heart breaks Christina...

SUCH A WASTE OF LOVE

(Bobby Bare) « © '67 ATV Songs, BMI »
Oh such a waste of love true love and devotion
Oh such a waste of love on a heart so cold with no emotion

I might as well just wrapped it up and washed it down the drain
Cause the little happiness I knew just wasn't worth the pain
You built me up and for a little while you let me live
But love is the only thing I find you never learned to give

Oh such a waste of love...
Oh such a waste of love...

WALK ON OUT OF MY MIND

(Red Lane) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I hear the echo of your footsteps
They're right in step with marchin' time
Since you walked out of my life and out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

I know you're hidin' there in the darkness
And it's got me runnin' scared and blind
Since you walked out of my life and out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

You've got footprints all over my mem'ries
I must erase them if I can
You keep a stumblin' through my hopes and dreams
Kickin' around my future plans

You've got me walkin' around in circles
Lookin' for something I'll never find
Since you walked out of my life and out of my world
Please walk on out of my mind

KENTUCKY WOMAN

(Neil Diamond) « © '67 Tallyrand Music, SESAC »
Kentucky woman she shines with her own kind of light
She'll look at you once and a day that's all wrong looks all right
And I love her God knows I love her Kentucky woman
She gets to know you she gots to own you Kentucky woman

She's not the kind that gets turn at the drop of her name
Cause somethin' iside that she's got turns you on just the same
And she loves me God knows she loves me Kentucky woman
She gets to know you she gots to own you Kentucky woman

Don't want much the good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch from that one girl and life is
Sweet and good there ain't no doubt talkin' about Kentucky woman
She gets to know you she gots to own you Kentucky woman

Don't want much...
Kentucky woman Kentucky woman

LONG GONE

(Jerry Reed Hubbard) « © '67 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
Oh well it's long gone long gone you got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be a hangin' around I know you're gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true when she wakes up one day
To find you long gone long gone

You just wandered into town
Took her and you started messin' around with my baby
You stole her heart cause she ain't used to your kind
With your fancy clothes and your uptown style
It didn't take you but a little while to get your way
Cause your pretty little lies she couldn't see behind

And now it's long gone...
[ guitar ] Well the man in me would like to fight to take you down by the river tonight
And rearrange your face but that would make her hate the sight of me
So there's nothin' left for me to do stand and watch and that the likes of you
Hurt the girl I love while she's too much in love with you to see

Oh well it's long gone...

YOU'LL THINK OF ME

(Hank Cochran) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You have her now and she's your life
You're saying how she'll be your wife
And I wish I could be happy for you
But you see my friend I've been there too
That's one more thing that'll bother you
When she treats you like she's treated me you'll think of me

When the new wears off and the glamor's gone
But the ties that bind keep holdin' on and they're strong

You'll think of me being with her
Like I thought of her being with them
And you and God knows who
You're happy now but waite and see
When she treats you like she's treated me
As you wait to see who the next will be you'll think of me
As you wait to see who the next will be you'll think of me

WAVE GOODBYE TO ME

(Waylon Jennings - Don Bowman) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm just here to get my things and I'll be leavin'
And I've got somebody waitin' just outside
So don't start to cry to me about your hurt and misery
Cause the only thing that's a hurtin' is your pride

Wave goodbye to me and I'll be leavin'
Walk me to the door and say so long
No need talkin' anymore sayin' things I've heard before
Just wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone gone gone gone
Wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone

Go tell all our friends that I'm a cheater
Tell 'em how I caused you all this pain
But if they start askin' you just why I proved untrue
That might not be so easy to explain

Just wave goodbye to me and I'll be leavin'...
Wave goodbye to me and I'll be leavin'...
Gone gone gone wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone

TOO FAR GONE

(Billy Sherrill) « © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I can tell that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And it hurts to say it but you have a right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

But I'm too far gone too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long I'm too far gone

If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

Cause I'm too far gone too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long I'm too far gone
