DON'T COME HOME A DRINKIN' (WITH LOVIN' ON YOUR MIND)
(Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love they just don't mix leave the bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
Cause if you want that kinda love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
[ steel - guitar ]
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
And many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone
Then you come in a kissin' on me it happens ever time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW
(Don Robertson - Howard Barnes)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your heart aglow
How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder always make me guess
And even if I ask you oh darlin' don't confess
Just let it remain your secret cause darlin' I love you so
No wonder no wonder I wonder though I really don't want to know
No I really don't want to know

TOMORROW NEVER COMES
(Ernest Tubb - Johnny Bond)
« © '58 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Now you tell me that you love me yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married but tomorrow is never there
No tomorrow never comes no tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me but tomorrow never comes
[ guitar ]
Many weeks now I have waited many long nights I have cried
Just to see that happy morning when I'd have you by my side
But tomorrow never comes...

THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '65 Husky Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my ev'rything
As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this ol' heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living...

SHOE GOES ON THE OTHER FOOT TONIGHT
(Buddy Mize)
« © '66 Mariposa Music, BMI »
How long did you think you could go on hurtin' me
And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone
Well a you go out you have your fun like you were free
Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own
Cause the shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches outta sight
Cause the shoe goes on the other foot tonight
[ steel - dobro ]
Each time you walk out the door you walk on me
And you leave the door wide open for the blues
You fly away from me like you are free
You must think there's wings upon your shoes
But the shoe goes on the other foot tonight...
Yes the shoe goes on the other foot tonight

SAINT TO A SINNER
(Betty Sue Perry)
« © '65 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You put a halo and wings around me
Now you say that I have gone bad
But while you were busy with business and booze
I lost the wings and the halo I had
You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall
[ piano - steel ]
You didn't think that your angel could wander
But I'm just like you flesh and bone
While you had your drinkin' your buddies and business
I guess I had too much time all alone
You say I went from a saint to a sinner...

DEVIL GETS HIS DUES
(Darrell Statler)
« © '66 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
Well a you think you're the hottest thing a goin'
The way things come to you you think you're in
But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin'
You may not lose but big boy you won't win
Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you've pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been a sayin'
You'll hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet
[ guitar ]
When it comes to love you've read the devil's menu
And you brag a lot that you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one who knows a trick or two
Some day I might rub your face in the dirt
Well your little play house is a sittin' on sticks of dynamite
I might get mad tonight and light the fuse
If you come in and find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues
Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'...

I CAN'T KEEP AWAY FROM YOU
(Darrell Statler)
« © '66 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
By your side each minute's where I wanna be
Can't get you off my mind and let it rest in peace
So ev'ry step you make I wanna make it too
Oh I can't keep away from you
Well I don't care where you are as long as you're with me
You're ev'ry dream I dream you're ev'ry breath I breathe
My shadow follows you loves ev'rything you do
Why I can't keep away from you
Oh I can't keep away from you I couldn't if I wanted to
No matter how hard I try or what I do
You've got my heart and soul that's why I need you so
You're holding on to me I know I can't let go
What all would I go through to prove my love is true
Oh I can't keep away from you
[ steel ]
Baby I can't keep away from you

I'M LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
(Jan Crutchfield)
« © '66 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm living in two worlds dividing my time
Unhappy in your world and lonesome in mine
When I'm in your world I just pretend
That I'm really happy though I don't fit in
Then I drift in my world so cold and alone
I'm living in two worlds where do I belong
I'm living in two worlds...
[ piano ]
Old friends in your world are new friends to me
So I can't take part in your ole memories
Our love's shared in two worlds that don't turn the same
We both have our own worlds and neither can change
I'm living in two worlds...

GET WHAT'CHA GOT AND GO
(Loretta Lynn - Ron Williams - Leona Williams)
« © '67 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
A pretty boy Charlie's the name that you've been a given
And you act like the whole wide world owes you a livin'
You tell me you can get any girl you know
You say you've got what it takes to me you're just a heartache
So get what'cha got'n go
You think you're the greatest thing in this whole town
Old number one with ev'ryone no one can put you down
Ev'ry night you go downtown where the go-go's go
Well you think you're so hot and you tell me I'm not
So get what'cha got'n go
[ steel ]
You better wipe that sneaky smile right offa your face
For I just might a knock it off and a put you in your place
Just like the wild wild wind all you do is blow
You say I'm holdin' you back well baby I'll help you pack
So get what'cha got and go
You think you're the greatest thing in this whole town...

MAKING PLANS
(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison)
« © '63 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
Cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree that's shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
Cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
[ steel ]
Yes you're making plans to leave

I GOT CAUGHT
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You're standin' there a sayin' I'm no good
And I'm so ashamed I'd die if I could
But you're no better than I am or have you given this one thought
The only thing that's different I got caught
With the nights you left me all alone
And the only arms close to me was my own
And now you're blamin' me but it's not all my fault
The only thing that's different I got caught
Yeah I got caught but honey you're a pro
There's not a thing about cheatin' you don't know
That same ole line you sell is the same ole line I bought
The things you got away with I got caught
[ guitar - steel ]
Yeah I got caught but honey you're a pro...
Yeah the thing you've got away with I got caught
