SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE

(Lola Jean Dillon) « © '76 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
Somebody somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight

It must have all started with that darn'd old late show
It made me so lonely and sad
And to make it all better I kept gettin' bluer
With each little drink that I had
Then I turned in a DJ who played every sad song he owned
Lord I need someone so but every one I know
Is always being needed at home

Somebody somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight
Lord here sits a woman just lonesome enough to be right
For lovin' and leavin' how I need someone to hold tight
Somebody somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight

SUNDOWN TAVERN

(Tracey Lee) « © '76 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
There's a place downtown where my man hangs around
Drinkin' and a winkin' and a playin' around
Sundown tavern you're a sorrow bound I'm gettin' ready to burn you down
Sundown tavern now you're to blame you have brought my man to shame
Sundown tavern won't be the same I'm ready and waitin' to set you a flame
Sundown sundown you've been keepin' my man broke
Sundown sundown Sundown tavern you'll go up in smoke
Sundown tavern now you're a disgrace satan's den for the human race
Sundown tavern's where my man stays you're goin' up with a mighty big blaze
Sundown tavern now you've got what's mine
You've wrapped his brain with your bubblin' wine
The torch I've carried is in my hand and now you're roady for the promised land
Sundown sundown I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown sundown Sundown tavern I'm a burnin' you down
Sundown sundown I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown sundown Sundown tavern I've burnt you down

GAMES THAT DADDYS PLAY

(Conway Twitty) « © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
He put his arms around my shoulder with a voice that sounded older
He said mom I've got something on my mind
Now I don't want to bother you but I sure need to talk to you
If you could only spare a little time
And mom I hope you undretsand how much I love and need you
I don't want to take this the wrong way
But don't you think I'm big enough and old enough and strong enough
To play the games that daddys play
My friend Billy Parker's dad come by today to see me
And he wondered if I would like to go
With him and Billy on a hike and maybe camp out overnight
The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows
And there's one thing I want to do and maybe if I ask him to
He'd sit and talk to me man to man
We'd only be gone overnight and I could find out it's like
To play the games that daddys play
I quickly turned to hide the tears from my son of seven years
He didn't know I'd read between the lines
He'd never really known his dad and although he'd never asked
I knew exactly what was on his mind
I searched my mind in desperation six long years of seperation
Dimmed the words I knew I had to say
I hope you're never big enough or old enough or bold enough
To play the games that daddys play
I know you need and want his love but son you're the victim of
Another kind of game that daddys play

WHILE HE'S MAKING LOVE I'M MAKING BELIEVE

(Frances Rhodes) « © '76 King Coal Music, ASCAP »
I'm just halfway happy not completely satisfied
When he sleeps beside me I dream of you by my side
When he tells me he needs me I try hard to please
While he's making love I'm making believe

It's just a matter of time till I'll be with you
So I make believe till you can make it come true
It's a part that I'm playin' until he sets me free
While he's making love I'm making believe

I feel guilty in his arms cause I'm not really his
I pretend that I hold you while I'm returning his kiss
And if I close my eyes he won't know he's deceived
While he's making love I'm making believe

CRAWLING MAN

(David Wilkins) « © '72 Little David Music, BMI »
Walk on out the door I left it open oh but as you leave you better not look back
Cause you might see the good times we've had together after you're gone
And if there's anything I can't stand it's a crawling man
So don't come crawling back after you leave me
If you try cryin' on my shoulder you're on the wrong track
I just wanna let you know how it is before you take one step
And if there's anything I can't stand it's a crawling man
If there's anything I can't stand it's a crawling man
Cause I couldn't stand to see you on your knees knockin' on my door again
So travel on your own risk baby think it over while you can
Cause if there's anything I can't stand it's a crawling man

ME AND OLE CRAZY BILL

(Bill Dees - Wes Helm) « © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Me and ole crazy Bill
We met up on a farm in Oklahoma he was diggin' in the clay
I was a sleepin' maid
Cookin' for a dozen farm hands from all over
For sharecropper's pay
It wasn't much but I was glad to get it
Cause I was a baby with a baby gettin' bigger every day

I liked ole crazy Bill
The first time that he sat down at the table
He come in off the road eatin' with his hands
He still wore the dust from North Dakota from the rodeo
Crazy Bill was an Indian and he told me all about him
And the wild west show

Sunshine raindrops falls down on every head he said
Don't cry sunshine's just beyond the hill

Me and ole crazy Bill
Pulled up stakes and headed for the big time
He was livin' on a dream
Being No.1 rodeoin' till the pain got to me down in Abilene
That's where I had my baby
And crazy Bill was treatin' me like I was a queen old queen

I watched ole crazy Bill passing out the cigars to the cowboys
Like my baby was his own
I guess that's when I knew
All that matters in this life is love and love is home
Now every time I wanna cry I remember what he told me not so long ago

I'LL LEAVE THE LEAVIN' UP TO YOU

(Lomar Morris - Ken Jones) « © '76 Acoustic Music, BMI »
Lately we don't talk much lately we don't love much
We're just goin' through the motions when we do
A good warm love turnin' colder how it's everything but over
So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you

I'm not strong enough to walk away
I'm much too weak from all the love I gave
Cause breakin' chains untyin' strings is somethin' I can't do
So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you

But now there's somethin' in you that makes my touch offend you
And the little smiles I see are less than few
But I'd never try to hold you to the things that we both swore to
So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you

YOUR WOMAN YOUR FRIEND

(Peggy Forman) « © '76 Hello Darlin Music, BMI »
Yesterday is gone and now you're going home oh how I hate to say goodbye
But that's the price I pay for lovin' you this way
And being the other woman in your life I just wanna be your woman your friend
Someone you can lean on when you think you've reached the end
A warm place to hide when the cold winds blow and your lover when she tells you no
You know what I care I'll always be here anytime that she treats you wrong
Cause you know how I feel and how I feel is real and I'll love you anytime she won't

PLAYING WITH FIRE

(Lola Jean Dillon) « © '76 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
I'm sorry and the night's not even over
I'll end up hurt but worse I'll be to blame
After all that I've been burned you'd think I'd finally learn
Still I keep walking right back through the flame

Lord I'm playin' with the fire one more time
Coverin' his flamin' lips with mine
Knowin' I should let him go oh Lordy what a fool
I'm playing with fire and the hotter it gets
The harder it is to keep it cool

Sometimes I curse the day I ever met him
But worse I curse myself cause he's not mine
I always see the smoke before I start to choke
It's the same old flame that gets me every time

BLUE EYED KENTUCKY GIRL

(Bobby Harden) « © '76 King Coal Music, ASCAP »
Just a blue eyed Kentucky girl I've already seen the world
And I'm grateful for the love that I've been shown
There's a feeling down inside that keeps telling me that I
Shouldn't wait too late to spend some time at home
Oh I can go for summer to London or go for the winter to Rome
But nothing will compare with what I long to share
With my darlin' and my baby at home
I don't know exactly when I'll be back this way again
Cause the going's gettin' rougher every day
Knowing nothing takes the place of a mother's smiling face
And every time they need me I'm always away
