HOUSTON
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '65 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
Well it's lonesome in this big town everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name just walkin' in the rain
Going back to Houston Houston Houston
I got holes in both of my shoes and I'm a walking case of the blues
I saw a dollar yesterday but the wind blew it away
Going back to Houston Houston Houston
I haven't eaten in about a week I'm so hugry when I walk I squeak
Nobody calls me friend it's sad the shape I'm in
Going back to Houston Houston Houston
[ harmonica ]
Going back to Houston Houston Houston
I got a girl waitin' there for me where at least she said she'd be
I got a home and a big warm bed and a feather pillow for my head
I'm going back to Houston Houston Houston
Well it's lonesome in this big town...

FIRST THING EV'RY MORNING
(Jimmy Dean - Ruth Roberts)
« © '65 Plainview Diner Music, BMI »
The first thing every morning and the last thing every night
I think of you and all the things you say and do
If only you were here to whisper sweet things to
I tell you how much I love you how I'm longing to hold you tight
Yeah the very first thing every morning and the last thing every night
I tell you just how much I love you and how I'm longing to hold you tight
The very first thing every morning and the last thing every night
The very first thing every morning and the last thing every night

HAMMER AND NAILS
(Dick Glasser)
« © '65 Kita Music, BMI »
You take a hammer you get some nails you build a home
Find a woman you put that woman in that little home
But without love true true love in that home
Yes without love that little home just ain't a home
You cheat a little you leave your baby all alone
You bend the nails you walk the boards in that little home
Cause without love true true love in that home
Yes without love that little home just can't be a home
Yes without love in that home
There ain't a hammer big enough to bring her on
So when your nights of fun are through you wanna go home
Don't be surprised to find yourself there all alone
Cause without love true true love in that home
Yes without love that little home just can't be a home
Yes without love that little home just can't be a home

LITTLE LOVELY ONE
(Tommy Boyce - Bobby Hart)
« © '65 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
(Little lovely one little lovely one little lovely one)
Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Won't you tell me I'm the one for you
Don't you realize you got me hypnotized
And everybody knows it but you
When you're walking down the street a scufflin' your feet
Don't you know you look so fine
You're such a living dream like peaches and cream
I can't get you off of my mind
Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Tell me I'm the one for sure
You don't answer your phone I'm gonna follow you home
Be a knock on your door
[ horns ]
When you're walking down the street...
Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Won't you tell me I'm the one for you
If you don't answer your phone I'm gonna follow you home
There's gonna be a knock at your door
There's gonna be a knock at your door
There's gonna be a knock at your door

LOVE LOVE LOVE

(She-oop she-oop she-oop)
Ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love love love
Oh love love love love love love
There ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love love love
And that's the only thing I'm thinking of
Love can make you happy when you're feeling blue
If the one you love is in love with you

Yeah love love love ooh love love love
There's nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love love love

DOWN HOME
(Rudy Clark)
« © '65 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
(Way down home way down home)
I got to pack and go going back where I come from
And folks I really know
Where the roosters crow in the morning
And you'll wake up with a song
Down home way down home
I got to say goodbye
How I miss the taste of Grandma's sweet potato pie
And the pretty girls come in bunches
And they never treat you wrong
Down home way down home
Watermelon costs but a dime
And the fish down by the river they jump they jump on your line
I got to go you see
City life can never take the country out of me
So I'm going back where I come from
And I never gonna roam
From home way down home
(Watermelon costs but a dime)
And the fish down by the river ooh jump on your line
I got to go you see
Anyone who asks for me tell them I have gone back home
Gonna fall back with that living and I'm never gonna roam
From home way down home
Down home way down home down home way down home

I WILL
(Dick Glasser)
« © '63 Ridgeway Music, BMI »
I don't want to be the one to say I'm gonna miss you but I will
I don't wanna say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby but I will
I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really love you so
Cause it was such a thrill
And just remember when you're gone
There'll be that someone sad who loves you still
You will look at him and see me smiling back at you I know you will
You will find yourself repeating things we used to do you know you will
Don't wonder if you wanna come back just got running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cause I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever and I will
[ horns ]
Oh I will
[ horns ]
Yes I will
Don't wonder if you wanna come back just got running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cause I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever and I will
Cause I'm the one who told I would love you dear forever and I will

SNAP YOUR FINGERS
(Alex Zanetis - Grady Martin)
« © '62 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Snap your fingers) and I'll come running (back to you) on bended knee
Snap your fingers I will come running I'll be true take a chance on me
Let your light turn green baby I've got to know
Give me some kind of clue should I stay or go
Let me love you like a lover that you used to know
Turn the key and let me in through the same old door
I had it but I lost it now I got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is I've got to find a way back in
So snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get back to you
[ horns ]
I don't care what the cost is I've got to find a way back in
So snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get back again
To go back again (to come back again)

DETOUR
(Paul Westmoreland)
« © '45 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Detour there's a muddy road ahead detour paid no mind to what it said
Detour oh these bitter things I find should have read that detour sign
Headin' down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed
And cause of me not knowin' I now pine
Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
When I got right to the place where it said about face
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the father I go the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
[ horns ]
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign

(You're the reason you're the reason you're the reason I'm in love)
You're the reason I'm in love you're my shining star above
You're my every dream come true that's why I love you like I do

Yes you're the reason I'm in love
