EVERYBODY'S HAD THE BLUES

(Merle Haggard) « © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ with Merle Haggard ]
Everybody sings the blues sometimes everybody knows the tune
Yeah everybody knows the way I'm feeling cause everybody's had the blues

A lonely song someone is gone a story old as time
Love hate or want and wait till mis'ry fills your mind
Everybody knows the way I'm feeling cause everybody's had the blues
[ dobro ] A lonely song someone is gone...

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME

(Ben Peters) « © '73 Ben Peters Music, BMI »
I think of all the things I promised you
There's still so many things I didn't do
I know it hasn't been the way that you expected it to be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

It never crossed my mind what you go through
For giving me each time for hurting you
I guess a foolish man just takes for granted that's how it should be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

You make up for all the bad in me with all the good in you
All the wrong I've ever had in me can't match the good in you
So maybe given time I'll come around to what I oughta be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

So maybe given time I'll come around to what I oughta be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER

(Dallas Frazier) « © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time

I'll put that smile back on your face
The one this fool once took away
Each day I'll tell you how much I care
And say the things that I forgot to say

Well we'll be houlder to shoulder...

I'll bring you love and happiness
And treat your heart so tenderly
Though friends may tell you fools never learn
I hope you'll take another chance on me

So we'll be houlder to shoulder...

(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time
(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)

SINCE I MET YOU BABY

(Ivory Joe Hunter) « © '56 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me I'm not the same

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
Cause since I met you baby all I need is you
[ sax ] Since I met you baby I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

MY FIRST COUNTRY SONG

(Conway Twitty) « © '77 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ with Conway Twitty ]
I think that I just wrote my first country song
I've had this lonesome hurtin' feeling all night long
I didn't know I love her and now she's gone
I think that I just wrote my first country song

I always like to hear those country singers sing
And the way they play those guitars boy they sure do make 'em ring
But when they sing the words I can never sing along
I didn't believe things happen that way
I thought our love was here to stay
Till yesterday she walked away and now they're hittin' home

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

You wrote some words about the good times that you had
And then some lines about losing you mind or missing her so bad
And you did leave out a thing about the way you done her wrong
I sang my song to the saddest note that anybody ever wrote
I think that you just wrote your first country song

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

DRINKING CHAMPAGNE

(Bill Mack Smith) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm drinking champagne and feeling no pain till early morning
Dining and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
And I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Guilty conscience I guess though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine

So I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning
Dining and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'll keep having a fling with a pretty young thing till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
[ sax ] I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
(I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning)
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

HANGIN' AROUND

(Weston Hardy - Rick Carnes - Janis Carnes) « © '82 Careers Music, BMI »
I'm hangin' around hopin' you'll get lonely
I'm hangin' around though you say we're through
You're tellin' me now that you'll never miss me
But I'm hangin' around just in case you do

I wanna be beside you every step you take
Every time you turn around I'll be in your way
All over you like poison ivy
You get the itch that's when you'll find me here to stay

Hangin' around hopin' you'll get lonely...
[ guitar ] I'll be the melody that haunts your mind
Stuck in your mem'ry like a nursery rhyme
You'll take a fall like Humpty Dumpty
If it takes a month of Sundays I've got time

Hangin' around hopin' you'll get lonely...
I'm hangin' around just in case you do

LOVE PUT A SONG IN MY HEART

(Ben Peters) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart
Never have I heard this beautiful music before
Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart
A beautiful song of two people in love evermore

It wasn't too long ago I thought I would never know
What reason has anyone to sing a happy song
I knew only loneliness but then I found happiness
And now I just want the world to smile and sing along

Cause your love put a song put a song...
Yes your love put a song put a song...
