ONE'S ON THE WAY

(Shel Silverstein) « © '71 Evil Eye Music, BMI »
They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France
And Jackie's seen in a discotechs doin' a brand new dance
And the White House social season should be glittering and gay
But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin'
The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin'
One of them a toddlin' and one is a crawlin' and one's on the way

I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact
And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act
While the TV's showin' Newlyweds a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka the screen door's a bangin'
The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin'
One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' and one's on the way

Now what was I doin' Jimmy get away from there darn there goes the phone
Hello honey what's that you say you're bringin' a few ole army buddies home
You're callin' from a bar get away from there
No not you honey I was talkin' to the baby wait a minute honey the door bell
Honey could you stop at the market and hello hello well I'll be

The girls in New York City they all march for women's lib
And Better Homes and Gardens shows the modern way to live
And the pill may change the world tomorrow but meanwhile today
Here in Topeka the flies are a buzzin'
The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin'
One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way
Oh gee I hope it ain't twins again

MORNIN' AFTER BABY LET ME DOWN

(Ray Griff) « © '71 Blue Echo Music, ASCAP »
The alarm clock woke my sleepin' but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clingin' to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again

I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin'
Then the terrible truth came staggerin' through my head
There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed

It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me no strong hand to touch me gently
It's the mornin' after baby let me down

There was nothin' to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
And I started into trembling like a leaf
How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover
And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete

I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow
Hope a glass of wine will take his love away
Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feelin'
What a good for nothin' way to start the day

It's the morning after baby let me down...

IT'LL FEEL GOOD WHEN IT QUITS HURTIN'

(Shirley Tackett - Roni Rivers) « © '71 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
When you left me you thought I'd die sit at home alone and cry
And it hurts me because that you were right
I tell myself that I'll begin to try and forget you but then
I go and cry myself to sleep at night
But somethin' that my mama said keeps goin' around inside my head
And if I only knew that it was true
That time and tears will wash away this hurt I'm feelin' in night and day
Then I know that I'll get over you

Mama said one thing's for certain
It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'
And you know that mama's always right
And if this hurt will go away
Then I'll feel good again someday
And I won't ever want you in my sight

And now you've spread it all around just how you tore my playhouse down
And laughed because you broke my heart in two
You think that love is fun and games and you don't even feel ashamed
But someday it may all come home to you
And now you think you're flyin' high and you don't care how much Icry
But what goes up will come back down someday
And if my mama's words are true by then I won't be lovin' you
And I'll be glad I heard my mama say

Mama said one thing's for certain...

BLUEBERRY HILL

(Al Lewis - Larry Stock - Vincent Rose) « © '40 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Larry Stock Music, ASCAP / Sovereign Music, ASCAP »
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
Yeah it lingered until my dream came true

The wind in the willow played love's sweet melody
But all of the vows you made were never to be
Though we're apart you're a part of me still
For you are my thrill mhm on Blueberry Hill
Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played love's sweet melody...

LOVE'S ON THE LOOSE

(Billy Arr) « © '71 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
I'll paint my lips and shake my hips all over town tonight
I'll powder up and bat my baby blues
Not a man in this ole town will be safe tonight
Look out boys love's on the loose

Love's on the loose and it's runnin' free
If you can't bite you'd better not bark at me
I'll a toss my rope then I'll tighten up my noose
Look out boys love's on the loose
[ steel ] Been chained up so long but now I'm on the prowl
Somethin' snapped inside and lit my fuse
There's no way you can tie down this ole gal
Look out boys love's on the loose

Love's on the loose and it's runnin' free...

L-O-V-E LOVE

(Loretta Lynn - Maggie Vaughn) « © '68 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love

There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say
Don't you know the needs of any woman
You speak words my ears have never heard of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love

L-o-v-e a word you never use
L-o-v-e your lips never choose
It's enough to make a woman want to give up
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
[ guitar ] It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me
With more to give than one rough kiss at nighttime
You'll never know the longing that my heart does
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e

L-o-v-e a word you never use...

HE'S ALL I GOT

(Gary Bonds - Jerry Williams) « © '71 Embassy Music, BMI »
Well I said friend don't take him he's all I got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a beggin' you friend don't take him he's all I got
He's ev'rything in life I'll ever need

He is life when I wanna live
He's ev'rything to me in life that life can give
He's my water when I need to drink
He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

Let me tell you now friend don't take him he's all I got...

He's my fingers when I wanna feel
He's the only thing in life to me that's really real
He is love he's all the love I know
He can kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the flowers grow

Let me tell you now friend don't take him he's all I got...
Hear me talkin' now now friend don't take him he's all I got
I'm a beggin' you friend don't take him he's all I got

I CAN'T SEE ME WITHOUT YOU

(Conway Twitty) « © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Is it day is it night am I losin' my sight
Is it over are we really through
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you

I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leavin' or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you

I see the house you once called your own
And I see the door you walked through
I see the road you're leavin' me on
But I can't see me without you

I can't see me without you to lean on...

IT'S NOT THE MILES YOU TRAVELED

(David Hall - Louis Redding) « © '71 Court Of Kings, BMI »
I see that you're well traveled round the world and back again
I don't think that's the answer cause you're still a lonely man
Now don't tell me the things you've done and the places you have stayed
If it's not the miles you've traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you've made

Each stop has left a mark that even time cannot erase
They cannot be forgotten cause they're written on your face
I wonder if you felt true love in all the games you play
If it's not the miles you've traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you've made

So travelin' man move on to places far away from here
And baby don't remind me that you almost helt me near
I could learn to love you but I'd still be so afraid
If I can't go the miles you travel
I don't wanna be another stop you've made

TOO WILD TO BE TAMED

(Tracey Lee) « © '71 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
The river flows on and there's dark before dawn
And the wild blood flows through my veins
With a ghost of a life I just can't be a wife
I'm wild I'm too wild to be tamed

The wind is my kin and death is my end
And for restlessness there is no cure
My life's so unreal I just can't stand still
I'm wild I'm too wild to be tamed
[ piano ] An eagle flies high with wings in the wind
With blood so wild no man he'll befriend
I'm a girl without name and I'll never be chained
I'm wild I'm too wild to be tamed

The wind is my kin and death is my end...
Yes I'm wild I'm too wild to be tamed

I'M LOSING MY MIND

(Sandy Burnett) « © '71 King Coal Music, ASCAP »
Doctor how could live with this broken heart
But my pride won't forgive my mistake
I see him and my heart tells me oh what a fool
I'm losin' my mind for my baby's sake

I'm losin' my mind because I love him so
And it's so hard to love a man then let him go
And doctor he'll need somethin' to ease his pain
When he finds out the reason why I've gone insane
[ guitar - steel ] Guilt is my sickness and I wear it well
Cause my baby don't know what I've done
Feared that he'll leave me when he learns the truth
The truth about the father of his son

I'm losin' my mind because I love him so...
