JUST ONE LOVE
(Kimmie Rhodes)
« © '95 Gracey Rhodes Productions, BMI »
[ with Kimmie Rhodes ]
Just one love that shines for me shines a light that I can see
Just one love shines for me tonight just one love shines for me tonight
Just look at all those stars up in the sky
The wind is blowing through the trees weather that's inside of me
Makes a sound that follows me around
It makes a sound haunting me to hear
It blows me round and round when you are near
Just one love...
[ guitar ]
Well babe as far as I can see stars are what they want to be
They want to be the one to make you smile
Just a little love of your heart is all they need
Just a little of your love could be for me
Just one love...
Just look at all those stars up in the sky

EACH NIGHT AT NINE
(Floyd Tillman)
« © '57 Peer International, BMI »
A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine
I hold your picture close to my heart it takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine to feel your nearness night at nine
[ guitar - piano ]
The bugle's playing out go the lights even it's lonely these army nights
Go tell kids I'm doing fine give them my love dear each night at nine
A thousand miles dear...
I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine

THIS COLD WAR WITH YOU
(Floyd Tillman)
« © '49 Peer International, BMI »
The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you
Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you
[ guitar - steel ]
Why oh why should love ever come...
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

BETTER LEFT FORGOTTEN
(Chip Young)
« © '95 Careers Music, BMI »
Sometimes when the night calls it a day
And I wake up down in this missing you kind of way
And I remember things better left forgotten
And sometimes when I'm holding someone new
I can't help myself I slip off and think of you
And I remember things better left forgotten
Why oh why won't my mind let go of a love that used to be
And though I try in my heart I know your memory will never set me free
And sometimes right out of the blue I hear a voice and I turn and look for you
And I remember things better left forgotten
[ guitar ]
Why oh why won't my mind let go...
Sometimes when the nights calls it a day
And I wake up down in this missing you kind of way I remember

IT'S A SIN
(Fred Rose - Zeb Turner)
« © '47 Milene Music, ASCAP »
It's a sin my darling how I love you although I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this mem'ry of you when silence proves that you've forgotten me
The dreams I built for us have tumbled each promise broken like my heart
Why pretend that I can't live without you when deep inside I know that it's a sin
[ guitar - piano ]
I hope you're happy with another who shares the dream I could not win
Why pretend that I can't live without you when deep inside I know that it's a sin

FOUR WALLS
(George Campbell - Marvin Moore)
« © '57 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Out where the bright lights are glowing you're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing while I sit and whisper your name
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting but my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating so here where you left I stay
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me
[ guitar ]
One night with you is like heaven and so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway and wait for your knock on my door
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me

SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE
(Merle Travis - Tex Williams)
« © '47 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold with the ways of a gentleman I've been told
A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met that guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
That ain't that I don't smoke myself and I don't reckon they'll injure your health
I've smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same at a pheasant party or a poker game
Everythin's gotta stop when they have that cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette puff puff puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
Now at a game of chance the other night ol' Dame Forson wasn't doin' me right
Them kings and queens just kept on comin' round
Well I got a full and I bet it high but my plug didn't work on a certain guy
He just kept a risin' and a layin' that money down
He's raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood I had to sink or swim
He finally called and he didn't raise the bet
I said ace is full pal how about you he said I'll tell you in a minute or two
But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
[ guitar - steel ]
The other night I had a date with the cutest gal in the fifty states
A highbred uptown social little dame
She said she loved me and it seemed to me that things were like they oughta be
So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane
She was oh so far from a chunk of ice and our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice
So help and I think I'd've been there yet
But I give her a hug and a little squeeze and she said Willie excuse me please
But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette...
Just gotta have another cigarette

I JUST DROVE BY
(Kimmie Rhodes)
« © '93 Gracey Rhodes Productions, BMI / Irving Music, BMI »
[ with Kimmie Rhodes ]
I always go the other way but my car drove me down today
To a little house on the older side of town
Back when things were never hard I used to play there in that yard
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
Cokes were just a nickel then and across the street at the five and ten
A lot of things were cheap and square and strange
And the life that we had might have been but it was one we loved believin' in
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
I wondered now if love is still the way it was back then
I need to know that life is still a place worth livin' in
There it is just like it was a place where there was always love
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
[ guitar ]
In a world that seen it's better days it's good to know some things remain the same
Though standing still is not times way
Take to heart while in it's spring oh love is just a fragile thing
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
I wondered now if love is still...
I just drove by to see if things had changed

COLD COLD HEART
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ guitar - piano - steel ]
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

BONAPARTE'S RETREAT
(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Texas
Beneath the stars up above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say please don't you ever go away
And so I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat
[ guitar ]
All the world was bright...
[ guitar ]
So I held her in my arms...

ALABAM
(Lloyd Copas)
« © '60 Copas Publishing, BMI »
I went to a Turkey roast down the street
The people down there are eatin' like wild geese
So I'm on my way I'm goin' back in Alabam
Well you talk about your people havin' a lot of time
Eating up their chickens and drinkin' their wine
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
Now some folks say that a tramp won't steal
But I cought three in my corn field
And I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
Well one had a bushel and one had a peck
And one had a roaster near tied around his neck
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
[ guitar ]
Well there comes Sal walkin' down the street
With the run down shoes tied on her feet
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
When I get ready to leave this earth
I'm going back to my money's worth
I'm on my way I'm goin' back to Alabam
[ piano - guitar ]

EIGHT MORE MILES TO LOUISVILLE
(Louis M. Jones)
« © '47 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
[ with Grandpa Jones ]
I've traveled o'er the country wide a seekin' fortune fair
I've been down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East and Portland West and back along the line
I'm goin' now to a place that's best that old home town of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come in to my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I 'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville the home town of my heart
[ banjo - keyboards ]
There's sure to be a girl somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a rambling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
Oh eight more miles and Louisville...
[ banjo - keyboards ]
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love site is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
Eight more miles to Louisville...
