KIND OF MAN I AM

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '69 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
We moved from where we lived so we could start again
When you told me you'd forgive me if I'd change
But it really doesn't matter what town we're in
Cause I answer when temptation calls my name

There's a devil inside me that pushes and guides me away from you
And your love cannot hold me when patience control me I can't be true
The far off devotion is drowned by emotions I can't understand
And not even your sweet love can change the kind of man I am

I fight the guilt and shame that's deep in my mind
I can't put out the fire of desire that burns in my soul
I try to hide the evil inside but that's when I find
That there's a part of me I can't control

There's a devil inside me...
And not even your sweet love can change the kind of man I am

SHE CALLED ME BABY

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
She called me baby baby all night long
Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one night I awoke and she was gone
There's no more baby baby all night long

She called me baby baby all night long
Kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home
And call me baby baby all night long
[ guitar ] She called me baby baby all night long
Build me up so high and made me strong
Now each night in dreams just like a song
I still hear baby baby all night long
I still hear baby baby all night long

YESTERDAY'S LETTERS

(Ted Harris) « © '69 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Fiery kisses linger on two lips that miss you so
As my nervous fingers sort the pages through
Here and there I find the line that makes me want to live
Yesterday's letters take me back to you

Yesterday's letters with yesterday's glow
Will tell me you love me anytime I wanna know
Yesterday's letters so timeless and true
Will always keep me close close to you
[ guitar ] A world that's held together by some lines of faded blue
Is not exactly what I had in mind
But Cupid's little arrow can't be shared by more than two
Yesterday's letters will be my share of you

Yesterday's letters with yesterday's glow...
Will always keep me close close to you

AFTER AWHILE

(Bob Montgomery - Martha High) « © '59 Dundee Music, BMI »
You pretend you don't see you say just let things be
And perhaps she'll come back to stay
You tell friends you still care that is just as she's there
That you love her so much more each day

But after awhile the pain stops hurting
After awhile the heart cries no more
After awhile the tears stop their falling
Things get better after awhile
[ piano ] When she left you said go from to him then you'll know
Who really has more love to give
You told her she'd come home but it's weeks she's still gone
And you wonder how long you can live

But after awhile the pain stops hurting...
Things get better after awhile

UNTIL MY DREAMS COME TRUE

(Dallas Frazier) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true

Until these arms of mine surround you all the time
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true
Until your heart can see what burns inside of me
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true

Every day I cry a lonely tear a tear
Of love especially just for you
Until my fantasy becomes reality
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true
[ guitar ] Every day I cry a lonely tear...
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true

WON'T YOU COME HOME AND TALK TO A STRANGER

(Wayne Kemp) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone and said there's your wife on the line
Well I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of buddies I knew
But she told me in a few short words just what she wanted me to do

She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
It's the only place in days you haven't been
[ guitar ] Well I sat there about an hour just a talkin' with the rest of the guys
And when she walked through that front door she had gethome in her eyes
She said you've talked to danced with every woman in town but me
And if you just come around you might like my company

She said won't you come home...
It's the only place in days you haven't been

LET'S PUT OUR WORLD BACK TOGETHER

(Jimmy Peppers) « © '68 Husky Music, BMI »
Let's put our world back together
Let's try our love one more time
Let's put our world back together
Without you in my world the sun won't shine

I've tried but I can't live my life without you
There's darkness in my world all the time
We had everything together then it just fell apart
I've lost my heart to you don't take my mind

Let's put our world back together...
For without you in my world the sun won't shine

HUNGRY EYES

(Merle Haggard) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stand out in this mem'ry I revive
Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong
But us kids were just too young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted...
Yes I still recall my mama's hungry eyes

WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS (WITH BIG BLACK WINGS)

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
What are those things with big black wings
Circling descending from up over head
Lie to me tell me that they're only robbins
Tell me that your love for me will never be dead

Today all the rooms in our home feel like strangers
I wonder what makes me feel so out of place
Why have you suddenly emptied your closets
And why can't you look me in the face

What are those things with big black wings...

You faithfully promised you'd never leave me
You told me your heart have no room for goodbyes
But tell me what makes all this distance between us
And who put that leavin' in your eyes

What are those things with big black wings...
What are those things with big black wings...

LIFE TO GO

(George Jones) « © '58 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
I've got a sad sad story friend that I don't like to tell
I had a home and fam'ly when they locked me in this cell
I've been here eighteen years that's a long long time I know
But time don't mean a thing to me cause I've got life to go

Well I went one night where the lights were bright just to see what I could see
I met up with an old friend who's thought the world of me
He bought me drinks and he took me to every honky tonk in town
Words were said and now he's dead I just had to bring him down

Well it's been a long long time now since I've heard from my wife
Guess I'll be there with her yet if I hadn't used the knife
Well I'll bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know
Her daddy's been here eighteen years still got life to go

Well I'll bet there's not one man outside that's spent this long in jail
I'll be here in this prison till my body's just a shell
No I can't be free to go and see the ones that I love so
I've been here eighteen years still got life to go

MILLION YEARS OR SO

(Roger Miller) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm not worry cause I know
I'll forget you in a million years or so
I'll miss you but I know
I won't miss you bout a million years or so

How I loved I loved you so
How I lost you maybe time in time will let me know
But I'm not worry cause I know
I'll forget you in a million years or so
[ guitar ] How I loved I loved you so...
How I loved you but I know
I'll forget you in a million years or so
