FIST CITY

(Loretta Lynn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
A you've been a makin' your brags around town
That you've been a lovin' my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me and what I see's a pitty
You'd better close your face and stay outta my way
If you don't wanta go to Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City
You'd better detour round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
And I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby's a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay offa my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
[ steel ] Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City...

I'm here to tell you gal to lay offa my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

JACKSON AIN'T A VERY BIG TOWN

(Vic McAlpin) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tonight at nine we get married
My friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
That he's loved ever woman in Jackson
Oh but Jackson ain't a very big place

Tomorrow we'll go walkin'
I'll count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky
Cause Jackson ain't a very big place

Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossip and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town
[ steel ] Jackson is a mighty small town...

YOU DIDN'T LIKE MY LOVIN'

(Loretta Lynn - Red Hayes - Teddy Wilburn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Don't you think it's a little too late to show those tears
Just look at the way you've treated me all these years
I'm a full grown woman but you're treatin' me like a kid
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that's possed I'm a learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
[ steel - dobro ] Far as I'm concerned you can turn and walk out that door
Cause the way we've made it don't make it with me no more
Where your head used to lay there's another head there instead
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did...
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

I'VE GOT TEXAS IN MY HEART

(Mildred Burk - Ross Burk) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I'm packin' up my ole suitcases to go see ole familiar faces
Give me blue skies and sunny Texas weather
I crave the smell of good ole saddle leather
I've got Texas in my heart

I've got a lotta friends in Amarrila
I like Dallas Forth Worth Houston San Antone
Got a pinin' in my heart to be in Texas
I'll bet I'll wind up makin' it my home

I'm packin' up my ole suitcases to go see ole familiar faces
The Lone Star State has won my heart doggone it
And long horn steak with lots of ketchup on it
I've got Texas in my heart
[ banjo ] I love the western way they dress in Texas
Where that Lone Star brand is mighty plain
You can bet your boots and saddle I love Texas
Got a hankerin' to go back there again

I'm packin' up my ole suitcases to go see ole familiar faces
Give me blue skies and sunny Texas weather
I crave the smell of good ole saddle leather
I've got Texas in my heart
(The eyes of Texas are upon you) I've got Texas in my heart

YOU NEVER WERE MINE

(Jay Lee Webb) « © '67 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's late almost mornin' you just walked in the door
Don't bother explainin' I've heard it all before
Just turn around and leave me I've made up my mind
That I'll never lose you for you never were mine

I'll hurt if you leave me but I'll hurt if you'd stay
My heart knows no difference it will break either way
They'll all say I've lost you but someday they'll find
That I didn't lose you for you never were mine

I can't say love's over it never did start
Guess I'll lose my mind after losin' my heart
Oh no I'm not cryin' I've had too much wine
How can I lose you when you never were mine

Oh no I'm not cryin' I've had too much wine
Oh how can I lose you when you never were mine

SOMEBODY'S BACK IN TOWN

(Loretta Lynn - Teddy Wilburn - Doyle Wilburn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I just heard the saddest news somebody's back in town
And I know just what she's gonna do
She'll pick up where she left off her last time around
Oh how it hurts to keep on losin' you

Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me
The fear I've had so long is now reality
The only chance I have is when she throws you down
My chance is gone somebody's back in town
[ steel ] I know that I can't change your way we've been through that before
Her trap is set and you will walk right in
She only wants a fly by night affair and nothin' more
And you're just fool enough to fall again

Somebody's back in town why can't she stay away
You should know she never loved you anyway
She'll let you live a little then she'll throw you down
Sad news today somebody's back in town

SATISFIED MIND

(Red Hayes - Jack Rhodes) « © '54 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Ev'rything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost ev'ry dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[ steel ] Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at time
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life has ended and time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this ol' world with a satisfied mind

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE

(Warner McPherson) « © '68 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(How long will it take) How long will it take to make you need me
I keep a waitin' and a wonderin' how long will it take

Well you keep a tellin' me your love I'm winnin'
Then you turn right around and you treat me hard and cold
Well I ain't got but one life here I'm livin'
So if you're gonna love me baby I've gotta know

(How long will it take) How long will it take to make you want me
How much longer has this old heart gotta break
(How long will it take) How long will it take to make you need me
I keep a waitin' and a wonderin' how long will it take
[ steel ] Now there ain't a thing on earth that don't need a lovin'
And baby I'm no exception to the rule
But if you keep a puttin' everything above me
Well how in this world will I ever get through to you

(How long will it take) How long will it take to make you want me...

I DON'T WANNA PLAY HOUSE

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But somethin' didn't seem quite right today

So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him

I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye

I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun...

I'M SHOOTIN' FOR TOMORROW

(Loretta Lynn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's a breakin' day and here you come with eyes as red as fire
You tell me that you've done nothin' and you don't know how right you are
Well the little home chores you used to do now they've all gone to pot
So I'm shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot

I'm a shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot
I've took all I'm a gonna take and honey that's a lot
Well I used to think you's the only man but I found out you're not
So I'm a shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot
[ guitar ] I used to keep the homefires a burnin' but I let 'em all go out
So don't hand me that crooked line cause I've done been down that route
Now this ole house is a gettin' cold and I'm a goin' where the climate's hot
So I'm a shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot

I'm a shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot...
I'm a shootin' for tomorrow cause today's already shot

WHAT KIND OF A GIRL (DO YOU THINK I AM)

(Loretta Lynn - Teddy Wilburn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You want me to prove my love for you
I'm surprised at the way you're askin' me to
You've known me so long I can't understand
What kind of a girl do you think I am

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am
[ steel ] What kind of a girl would do the things
You're askin' me to without wedding rings
Is it what you must do to prove you're a man
What kind of a girl do you think I am

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife...
