YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT COUNTRY

(Loretta Lynn) « © '70 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well I like my lovin' done country style
And this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ole slow talkin' country boy I said a country boy
I'm about as ole fashion as I can be
And I hope you're likin' what you see
Cause if you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country

You don't see no city when you look at me
Cause a country's all I am
I love a runnin' barefooted through the ole cornfields
And I love that country ham
Well you say I'm a made just to fit your plans
But does a barnyad shovel fit your hands
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country
[ dobro ] This here country is a little green
And there's a lot of country that a you ain't seen
I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band I said a weddin' band
When it comes to love well I know about that
Country folks all know where it's at
If you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country

You don't see no city when you look at me...
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country

LOVE WHATCHA GOT AT HOME

(Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells) « © '69 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well you say you're a red hot papa and the lover of the town
Don't you think it's just about time ol' mama cooled you down
Get them courtin' clothes back off and don't let it take you long
Cause tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home

Love whatcha got at home and quit that messin' around
Well everbody calls you lover boy and you like the way it sounds
Your home chores are never done because you're always gone
Well tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home
[ steel ] Well I watch TV till it goes on and then I count the sheep
I never know when you come home I cry myself to sleep
When you go out that door tonight consider yourself gone
Cause tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home

Love whatcha got at home and quit that messin' around...
Well tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

(John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert) « © '71 Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Music Of 1091, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like the breeze

Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather round her
Finest lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye

Country roads take me home to the place I belong...

I hear her voice in the mornin' o're she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday

Country roads take me home to the place I belong...
La da da da da in the mornin' as she calls me
La da da da da da da da home far away mhm

KINFOLKS HOLLER

(Venda Holliday) « © '71 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
Paw and Maw Uncle Bill and Aunt Lil were the first to settle this holler
They built them a house with the help of the Lord
Cause they didn't have the almighty dollar
Then ole Mother Nature she had her way
And they were blessed with sons and daughters
And as time went on nobody moved off and it became Kinfolks Holler

Way down here in Kinfolks Holler everbody is a kissin' cousin
Where the code of the hills ain't kill or be killed
Cause there ain't no feudin' or fussin'
We're all for one and one for all and we live with honor and we all walk tall
And the blood runs thicker than water in Kinfolks Holler
[ steel ] Paw is the law the preacher and the judge and he rules with a mighty firm hand
He's the deacon of the church and the mayor of the town
Yeah my Paw's a mighty big man
When he's dead and gone we'll carry on his rules he's sworn to follow
But at a hundred and five he's still mighty spry down here in the Kinfolks Holler

Way down here in Kinfolks Holler everbody is a kissin' cousin...
Yeah the blood runs thicker than water in Kinfolks Holler

CLOSE MY EYES

(Loretta Lynn) « © '71 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I know he knows I'm dead so why don't he close my eyes
Cause as long as they stay open I can see where my heart lies
It's buried at his feet and when he steps on it it cries
Ev'rybody knows I'm dead so why don't they close my eyes

My blue eyes are open wide and I can see her take my place
I'm numb still I can feel the dirt he's throwin' in my face
He was ev'ry breath I breathe so how could I survive
Ev'rybody knows I'm dead so why don't they close my eyes
[ steel ] My blue eyes are open wide and I can see her take my place...

INDIAN LAKE

(Tony Romeo) « © '68 Forty West Music, BMI »
Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one
Keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find a place in the summer sun
Swim in the cove have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe
At Indian Lake you'll be able to make it like the Indians do

You take a bus marked Lakewood Drive
And you keep on a ridin' till you're out of the city
Where the air is fine with the sweet smellin' pines
And the country side's pretty

And you'll see daffodils peepin' over the hills
Or a honey lovin' mama bear
Just take a left at the bridge go down to Quarter Town Ridge
And in a minute you're there

Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one...
[ steel ] Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one...
And you'll see daffodils peepin' over the hills...
Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one...

I'D RATHER BE SORRY

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '71 Combine Music, BMI »
If you hurt me you won't be the first or the last
In the lifetime of many mistakes
But I won't spend tomorrow regreting the past
Or the chances that I didn't take

Cause I'll never know till it's over
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do

When you touch me it's easy to make me believe
Tomorrow won't take you away
But I'll gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
For the love that I'm living today

Cause I'll never know till it's over...

FROM NOW ON

(Loretta Lynn) « © '71 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Lately when you kiss me your lips are just lukewarm
And there's a bored look on your face when you hold me in your arms
You act like it's your duty to love me when you do
So from now on when you're lovin' on me you better act like you're wantin' too

You've been a gettin' your lovin' some place else and I know it
So I'm a gonna give you one more chance so you better not blow it
You better shape up or start shippin' out big man I'm warnin' you
So from now on when you're lovin' on me you better act like you're wantin' too
[ guitar + steel ] I've noticed now for quite awhile when I talk you don't hear
You stare out into space and you act like you don't hear
But I ache for arms to hold me cause I'm human just like you
So from now on when you're lovin' on me you better act like you're wantin' too

You've been a gettin' your lovin' some place else and I know it...
Yeah from now on when you're lovin' on me you better act like you're wantin' too

YOU CAN'T HOLD ON TO LOVE

(Glen Johnson) « © '71 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You can't hold on to sunlight when shadows are fallin'
You can't hold on to summer when winter is callin'
You can't hold on to moonlight you'd be cheating the dawn
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone

You can't pick off a rosebud then keep it from dyin'
You can't tell me you love me if you did you'd be lyin'
You can't hold on to my heart by leading me on
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone

You can't count all the raindrops in one April shower
You can't count all my heartaches in one lonely hour
You can't love me the right way by doing me wrong
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone

COUNTRY GIRL (JUST HOME FROM TOWN)

(Venda Holliday) « © '71 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
You can ride your elevators your city bus and escalators
They'll take you anywhere you want to go
But I'm glad to be back home again
Where the country starts and the city ends
And anywhere I go I wanna walk the dusty roads
When the neon signs light up your street
And the firefly's light shines on my feet
And the nightcrawlers sang me sleepy sounds
For you the city may be fine but there's a lot of hills to climb
For a country girl who just got home from town

I'm a country girl just home from town
Went far enough to look around
But nothin' caught my eye so I didn't buy
So if you want me change my name
Then walk me home down a country lane
We'll stop awhile and hear that country sound
A bluebird's singin' a song that's new a lover's song he'll sing to you
And a country girl who just got home from town

I'm a country girl just home from town...
Yeah I'm a country girl that just got home from town

I BURNED THE LITTLE ROADSIDE TAVERN DOWN

(Bill Howard) « © '67 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh I burned the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now it's just pile of ashes on the ground
Yes I burned the little roadside tavern down

Oh I warned my man just stay away
From that tavern or I'll burn it down someday
I think he thought it was a joke until he smelt the smoke
Then he screaned that woman's finally had her way

Oh I burned the little roadside tavern down...
[ steel ] He acted like a man who'd lost its mind
As the heat popped all those bottles of wine
You should have heard him cuss and shout as he tried to put it out
Drowin' water on the bucket at a time

Oh I burned the little roadside tavern down...
Yes I burned the little roadside tavern down
