HEY DADDY
(Gene Crysler)
« © '68 Southtown Music, BMI »
Hey daddy I need a drink of water those are the sounds I'm living by
Not long ago my ears thought they were happy
When a jukebox in a bar was turned up high
But drinking there no children call me daddy now these are the sounds I'm living by
Hey daddy can we watch the movie hey daddy can I go outside
Hey daddy sister lost her broodie those are the sounds I'm living by
So now the bars and blondes are bitter history I wanna hear my babies when they cry
And why I left them once is still a mistery I almost lost the sounds I'm living by
Hey daddy you know that I love you hey daddy what's there in your eye
Yes daddy's crying but I'm happy for these are the sounds I'm living by

EVEN THE LOSER LIKES TO DREAM
(Dallas Frazier)

Even the loser likes to dream
Sometimes my lips pretend that they're touching yours again
Then with open arms I whisper your name
Then my misty eyes grow dim for I know that you're with him
But even the loser likes to dream
Even the loser still dreams of his old sunshine I close the curtains every time it rains
I know that it's no use I should turn your mem'ry loose
But even the loser likes to dream
[ steel ]
Even the loser...
Yes even the loser likes to dream

WHAT THEN
(Travis Fortner)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I could sit here in my lonely room forever count the hours that slowly tick away
I could do all this and worry over things that might have been
But after I go crazy what then
I couldn't hold you you'd still have your new love and I'll still be alone just like now
I'd be much better off just to forget you and that's what I'm gonna do but how
[ piano ]
There's a party going on in the place I know
And I could join their loser's club they told me so
There I could drown my sorrow with warm wine and gin
But tomorrow when I'm sober what then
I'd be much better off just to forget you and that's what I'm gonna do but how

HEART OF CLAY
(Harlan Beggerman)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Old heart of clay why do you let her mold you this way
She'll try to shape your life and make me over don't you see
Old heart of clay why do you let her change you this way
The things she'll do to remake you will surely ruinin' me
Everytime I turn around there she is pushing you
And everytime I put her down she cries and says we're through
Old heart of clay don't let her take my lonely soul away
Oh don't you see we must be free both you and me
[ steel ]
Everytime I turn around...

ARE YOU TEASING ME
(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)
« © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When we're all alone dear and I'm in your arms are you teasing me
When you're telling me how you thrill to my charms are you teasing me
Are you untrue when I'm not with you when we're apart are you free
Tell me darling while our love is still young are you teasing me
[ steel ]
You tell me my love could make your life complete are you teasing me
And near from my arms would you long to be free are you teasing me
Are you untrue when I'm not with you when we're apart are you free
Oh tell me darling while our love is still young are you teasing me

LOVE TAKES CARE OF ME
(Jimmy Peppers)
« © '68 Husky Music, BMI »
Cause your love takes good care of me yes your love takes good care of me
And when the rain falls and the wind blows and the storm is on the sea
I'll be safe your love takes good care of me
When life for me gets weary and the sun refuses to shine
I run to the arms of the one I love and there I'll hide
You know just what to do and say you make my life worth while
And when I look upon your face I see heaven in your smile
Cause your love takes...
I'll be safe your love takes good care of me

IT AIN'T NO BIG THING (BUT IT'S GROWING)
(Neal Merritt - Shorty Hall - Alice Joy Merritt)
« © '65 Central Songs, BMI »
You're losing interest in me and it's showing it's not a big thing but it's growing
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowing it's not a big thing but it's growing
Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend that I don't notice if I can hold you one day more
You got that look of someone who is going you're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flowing it's not a big thing but it's growing
I've got a heartbreak now and it's showing you're gonna leave me and it's showing

NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN TULSA
(Bill Anderson)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
In a barroom in Chicago somewhere after midnight
I'm sitting on the barstool drinking like a fish
And although I just met you I can tell by looking
You're wondering what my problem really is
Next time you're in Tulsa go see Mrs Johnson
And you'll be looking my problem right between the eyes
Next time you're in Tulsa tell her her exhusband
Loves her still and will until he dies
Walk up to her front door ask to see the children
Take them all some candy and a big kiss from their dad
Tell them I still miss them I'll be down next winter
But not till then cause now I hurt so bad
Next time you're in Tulsa tell her her exhusband
Loves her still and will until he dies

EDGE OF YOUR MEMORY
(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
While sleeping on my shoulder your lips have softly spoke his name
And with those two arms around me you're still not close to me
Your morning smile reveals that he was with you in your dreams
Why must you let him keep on walking on the edge of your mem'ry
I know you tried but he's still walking on the edge of you mem'ry
Outside you change your image but inside you're still his girl
And to me the sunset means another long night filled with mis'ry
Because I know I hear him walking on the edge of your mem'ry
[ steel ]
I know you tried...

BORN TO LOVE YOU
(Cindy Walker)
« © '68 Shadaroba Songs, BMI »
My life was empty so blue and alone
Then you've put your hand in mine and I knew why I was born
Born to love you born to love you born to share your smiles and tears
Born to be near if you need me dear born to love you till I die
I used to wonder what life held in store
Then you held me in your arms now I wonder no more
Born to love you...
Born to love you till I die
