HEY GOOD LOOKIN'

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recepie

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
[ steel ] I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company

I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
Find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page
Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

Do you remember when you'd love me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away
Make the world go away...
[ ac.guitar ] I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away


Make the world go away...

HARPER VALLEY P.T.A.

(Tom T. Hall) « © '67 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I wanna tell you all the story bout the Harper Valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
As she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
She said I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

Well there's Jody Taylor sittin' there and seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice whenever he's away
And Mr Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down

Well Mr Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And when you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA

SLOWLY

(Webb Pierce - Tommy Hill) « © '52 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
[ steel ] Slowly I'm falling...
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you

DON'T COME HOME A DRINKIN'

(Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells) « © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix leave a bottle or me behind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Stay out there on the town and see what you can find
But if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
[ steel ] You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone
You come in a kissin' on me it happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin'...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN

(Dottie West - Bill West) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memory
Here comes my baby back again

My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
He's sorry once again once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again
[ steel ] My arms are open wide...
Here comes my baby back again

DUSTY ROAD

(Dave Kirby - Vic McAlpin) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Life gets so lonely when you live down on dusty road
Down where the fields of the corn and the cotton grows
It ain't helpin' none cause papa's in trouble with the law
He's servin' time on a chain gang in Arkansas
We got rich cousins livin' downtow puttin' on a show
They don't claim kin to us folks down on dusty road

There's eight of us kids and the youngest one is four today
Heard mama tell sis another one is on it's way
Lately mama spends a lot of time down at Duffey's bar
Today she came home drivin' a Chevrolet car hum
People say Duffey might as well be a diggin' his hole
For anyday papa might be back on dusty road

Here it is Monday and things have gone from bad to worse
Papa shot a guard and escaped in a prison hearse
Sis has been sneakin' out with no good Jimmy McClain
Papa caught 'em parked last night on lover's lane
Sis cut her wrist and she cried til the Mill whistle blowed
There's an awful lot of talk down here on dusty road

Papa shot Duffey and he nearly killed Jimmy McClain
Sheriff took him back to prison on the morning train
Sis has gone to live with Aunt Bet up in Alabam
I guess it's just as well cause Jimmy ain't a comin' around
It ain't rained in a month and it looks like the corn won't grow
There's an awful lotta talk down here on dusty road
There's an awful lotta talk down here on dusty road

STILL

(Bill Anderson) « © '63 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Still though you broke my heart still though we're far apart I love you still
Still after all this time still you're still on my mind I love you still
(Still though you broke my heart still) I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days
In fact I've lost just about everything since you went away
Everything that is except these mem'ries you left me
And that's one things no one can mar
I don't know who you're with I don't even know where you've gone
My only hope is that some day you might hear this song
And you'll know I wrote it especially for you and I love you wherever you are
Still though you broke my heart still though we're far apart I love you still
(Still though you broke my heart still) This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire
For every day it burns hotter and every day it burns higher
And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker not even with all these tears
My friends all think I'm crazy and maybe I am
But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can
For someday you just might decide to come home
And I want you to know I'm still here I love you still

YOURS LOVE

(Harlan Howard) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
May each moment I live be yours love
May the best I can give be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
That lives on and on be yours love

May the sons that I raise be yours love
May the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours love

May the Lord's shining grace be yours love
May the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours love

CRAZY ARMS

(Ralph Mooney - Chuck Seals) « © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
[ steel ] So please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms may hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time

Crazy arms that reach...

ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Up to now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ] I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

I'VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through to me
I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail...
[ guitar - steel ] Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail...
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
