TURN ON YOUR LIGHT AND LET IT SHINE

(Ray Pennington) « © '74 Unichappell Music, BMI »
It's hard to find a man today with a good word for his neighbor
Except the one he's a talkin' to at the time
Should you find a man of God who'll have to talk to many
And there'll be those who'll doubt the one you find

Why don't you turn on your light and let it shine
Turn on your light and let it shine
Be a beacon someone's darkest night
Turn on your light and let it shine

Don't look without seein' or touch without feelin'
Take time to smell the flowers along the way
Behind the darkest stormy cloud the sun is always shinin'
So share a smile with someone every day

Why don't you turn on your light...
[ horns ] When you see someone in trouble and there's no one they can turn to
Reach out the warm and friendly hand your touch of friendliness
Just may give the strenght that's needed
You could be the straw that saves the drawnin' man

Why don't you turn on your light...
If you'll just turn on your light...

LOSING YOU GOT THE BEST OF ME

(Roger Murrah) « © '74 Murrah Music, BMI »
It gets harder for me to sleep every night
And no matter what I do nothing turns out right
I guess a blind man could see how losing you got the best of me
Our friends don't come around like before

I guess they don't feel at home cause there's no home here anymore
But I bet all our friends can see how losing you got the best of me
I'm not the same man you knew for there's very little me without you
And though I tried how I tried to go on I'm not ashamed to admit I'm not that strong
When I held you I held life in my hand
And losin' life would do the same for any man
I was a slave who never asked to be free
Losing you got the best of me it got the best of me it got the best of me

ALL IN THE FAMILY

(Kenny Price) « © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Now it's all in the family
I wish we can only hurt just you and me
Our little darlings will never understand
What's happened to a woman and the man
What we've built together is slowly fallin' down
I hope that we can catch it before it hits the ground
But it's all in the family I wish we can only hurt just you and me
The ties have loosen and destroyed the bow
That we've tied together a few short years ago
Last be the tie that binds and holds you and me
For without his love we'll never be all in the family
Now it's all in the family I wish we could only hurt just you and me

SUPER HILLBILLY

(Rollin Bennett - Barbara Kuroff) « © '74 Kenny Price Music, BMI »
Well news're full of them super stars super roads and super cars
I reckon super's just a thing to be
And there's super markets and super bars and super men and super fly
Ha ha ain't this too dang super for me
Now a man just can't get to recognize unless it's got somethin' super size
Folks they just want 'em somethin' super to see
But now I got me a fine decision but ain't a good competition
As a one and only ha ha super hillbilly

Super hillbilly super hillbilly you can bet it's only one of me
I ain't gonna be no super star think I just am what I are
As a one and only super hillbilly me
[ guitar - fiddle ] Well I'm always slipped to my best ole jeans I love to eat them beans
Why super hillbilly he lives in luxury
I ain't no groovier guy by heck and when I get my unemployment check
And them city fellers ha ha they gotta think of me
Saturday night I'm on the town my pick up truck and my old croon hound
I'm just a super sight to see
I ain't a braggin' son of a gun when I do them girls ha ha it ain't been done
By the one and only super hillbilly

Super hillbilly super hillbilly...

WHEN I'M ON MY KNEES

(Harvey Lynn Cramer) « © '74 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Don't your hurting me ever affect your sympathy
My crying sight is all you ever see on me
From down here the future never looks too bright for me
The only time I know just where I stand is when I'm on my knees

My first mistake in life was loving you
Tell me what else do you need to always make me blue
Constantly I find myself saying please
The only time I know just where I satnd is when I'm on my knees

A man should be able to stand on his two feet
And always be prepared for love's danger he might meet
But the things that you keep doing keep me so low that I can't see
The only time I know just where I satnd is when I'm on my knees
[ steel ] The only time I know just where I satnd is when I'm on my knees

QUE PASA

(Eddie Rabbitt - Even Stevens) « © '74 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Que pasa que pasa what's happening to your casa
Tell little Pepino to go outside and play
And let's go loco on my acapulco senorita Juanita I need you right now

The first time I saw you dancing at the cantina
On top of the table to the guitar man
You drove the men crazy skaing your lamamba shake it
[ trumpet ] Que pasa que pasa...

I got a tin can I make me a shaker
I got a burrito I'm gonna bake 'er
I got a Juanita and I know how to make her shake it
[ percussion ] Que pasa que pasa...
[ trumpet ] Que pasa que pasa...

SHE EVEN LOVES ME

(Donna Price) « © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
She loves ever mornin' that the Lord gives her a rise
And that second cup of coffee that helps open up her eyes
She loves her home and children and the Watkin's on TV
But the most important thing I guess oh she even loves me

The PTA will keep her out at least a night a month
Her hands were full when the kids stayed home with the chicken fugs and moss
She works out small disasters and comes to test her fees
She loves her work but most of all oh she even loves me

She even loves me when I tell her I won't be home till eight
She even loves me when I think of everything that there is to hate
She loves to be a woman what a lovely sight to see
She loves the kids to bed at night sprays on somethin' she knows alike
Turns on love and turns off the light oh and then she loves me
[ guitar ] She even loves me when I tell her...

LADY'S LEAVIN'

(Eddie Rabbitt - Even Stevens) « © '74 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Did you ever sleep up behind a billboard sign
On the outskirts of your hometown for no good reason
Did you ever keep a picture in your back pocket
Of a lady who let you down just cause it was pleasin'

Did you ever stand out in the pouring rain on the sunny day
Watch a big 7-40-7 flyin' your whole world away
Did you ever love a woman who broke your heart every day of her life
The lady's leavin' Lord I'm grievin' so lowdown feelin' the lady's leavin'
[ strings ] Did you ever get drunk in a smoky bar
And crawl out on your knees with your head a reelin'
Did you ever wake up in a cheap hotel
With a body that you tried to please but you had no feelin's

Did you ever stand out...
So lowdown feelin' the lady's leavin'

CLOSEST THING TO ME (IS MY SHADOW)

(Vic McAlpin) « © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls
I'd always dreamed we'd be together till the final curtain call

But this world is filled with dreamers when dreams are the past that's all
The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls

When darkness falls around me anyplace I lie is home
I relive a million memories till the breaking of the dawn

Though there's other arms around me the past I still recall
The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls
[ strings ] The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls

GREENER GRASS TO WALK ON

(Ray Pennington) « © '74 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Watch for the postman to bring you a letter and don't you let that make you sad
You may not understand now but you will later I never meant to treat you bad

I just need (greener grass to walk on) and some higher hills to climb
A place where I can dream my dream
For with some (greener grass to walk on) and some higher hills to climb
You'd be a fool to wait for me

The walls of my mem'ry are line with many paintings of all the places I have been
You'll have a place now among the dreams and faces that I may never see again

I just need (greener grass...
[ steel - strings ] I warned you lovin' me is like walkin' down a country road
You can't tell what's around the bend
I'm like the water flowin' in an endless river I may never pass this way again

I just need (greener grass...
You'd be a fool to wait for me
