IF YOU NEED ME

(Dolly Parton) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
If you need me I'll be gone

The bed's still warm where you just left but it'll be colder where I've slept
I've always been where you needed me but I ain't the fool I used to be
You come home all hours of the night the fragrance on you ain't old spice
Tonight when you come draggin' home and find you need me I'll be gone

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman treated wrong if you need me I'll be gone

So what am I still doing here you've been doing me wrong for years
Tired of pickin' up and puttin' out I'm a leaving you lock stock and house
So bye bye baby that's it I'm packed I'm a leaving now but I'll call back
And leave this message on the code a phone sayin' if you need me well I'll be gone

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up...
Gone like the moon when the sun comes up...
I said if you need me well I'll be gone
If you need me I'll be gone
I said if you need me well I'll be gone gone
If you need me I'll be gone gone
If you need me I'll be gone

ROCKIN' YEARS

(Floyd Estel Parton) « © '91 Southern Gallery, ASCAP »
[ with Ricky VanShelton ]
I'll do everything I can make you proud to be my man
And I'll fulfill all your fantasies
I guess we're promising a lot but for now it's all we've got
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years

Rockin' chairs rockin' babies rock a bye rock of ages
Side by side we'll be together always
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me that's all I'll ask of you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years

I'll be your friend I'll be your lover until the end there'll be no other
And my heart has only room for one
Yes I'll always love you and I'll always be here for you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years

Rockin' chairs rockin' babies...
Rockin' chairs rockin' babies...

COUNTRY ROAD

(Dolly Parton - Gary Scruggs) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Saw you turning down Main Street in your big black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill with a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust you never pay me no mind

You're livin' in the fast lane I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs just plain ole calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover and they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road that you keep turning down

If you ever hit a dead end street if it's love that you're looking for
You can always turn around beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map you seem to know your way around
So when you're tired of spinning your wheels baby we can go to town

We're livin' in the fast lane...
[ guitar - steel ] I'll never be a fast lane lover...
I am just a country road that you keep turning down

You're livin' in the fast lane...

SILVER AND GOLD

(Carl Perkins - Greg Perkins - Stan Perkins) « © '91 Brick Hithouse Music, BMI »
Well I met an old man walking down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered with sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand
He said I love you so much but you must understand

Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world they won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

And he said to me let's rest for a while
Cause I have some good news to share with you child
He said you can't change this old world the people need to know
That a dear Savior died here a long long time ago

And silver and gold might buy you a home...

His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing and his back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it cause that day I changed
As I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name

He said silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended and your time is gone
But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old
And things can't be bought with silver and gold
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

EAGLE WHEN SHE FLIES

(Dolly Parton) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
She's been there God knows she's been there she has seen and done it all
She's a woman she knows how to dish it out or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers still she weathers stormy skies
And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies

A kaleidoscope of colors you can toss her round and round
You can keep her in her vision but you'll never keep her down
She's a lover she's a mother she's a friend and she's a wife
And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia strong as steel her faith and pride
She's an everlasting shoulder she's the leaning post of life
She hurts deep and when she weeps she's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies
She's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies
Oh bless her Lord she's an eagle when she flies

BEST WOMAN WINS

(Dolly Parton) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Who do you think you are what do you think this is
A game you can play tryin' to steal him away well I don't need a heartache like this
Well don't think I don't go through hell but heaven is what we both want
He's easy to love but he's hard to give up and if you think I will well you're wrong

The best woman wins I will fight till the end I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead I will suffer and bleed but he must make a choice betwen us
[ guitar ] This soap opera play that we're in is just like you watch on TV
But I never thought that I'd ever get caught in it starring you him and me
In love as in war all is fair so I fight to the finish begins
When you fight from desire you fight by fire with fire so may the best woman win

The best woman wins I will fight till the end...

So may the best woman win
May the best woman win nay the best woman win
I'll never give up or give in so may the best woman win
The best woman win the best woman win

WHAT A HEARTACHE

(Dolly Parton) « © '84 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall

What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache what a heartache
Love ain't always what it appears to be
What a heartache you turned out to be

I thought I'd found a safe and loving place inside your heart
And I was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet were lying from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine

What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooh what a heartache you turned out to be
[ fiddle ] It just goes to show that you never can tell
I really thought that I knew you well
I still can't believe I could be deceived so easily
Are all these wishes I'm wishin' to myself
Like rusty coins in a wishin' well
Wishes come true they come false as well it's too late for you and me

Oh what a heartache ooh what a heartbreak love is two faced and easy to believe
What a heartache ooh what a heartache what a mistake to think I could believe
Ooh what a heartache you turned out to be
Oh what a heartache you turned out to be

RUNAWAY FEELIN'

(Dolly Parton) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Got a crazy restless feelin' I cannot be consoled
Got an itchy urge to up and run I think I've lost control
You do somethin' to me somethin' that I really can't explain
I ain't felt like this since I's a kind
And I never thought I'd feel this much again

I've got that runaway feelin' like to grab you up
Just run off footloose and fancy free
Yeah that thought's appealin'
That runaway feelin' let my feelin's run away with me

I get all swimmy headed everytime I look at you
Though love has blurred my vision I still enjoy the view
Like Elvis and his Hound Dog in a deep fog I keep runnin' after you
I thought I'd been in love before but before doesn't matter anymore

I've got that runaway feelin'...
[ dobro - fiddle ] I've got that runaway feelin'...

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

(Bill Owens) « © '91 Song Yard Music, ASCAP »
Like the morning sun his love moved across every inch of my body
And the heat from the fire burned me up with desire
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven for sure
This morning when I opened my eyes there to my surprise
Lay that angel I thought had been only a dream
And so I said a little prayer and thanked God that he was there
Oh this is a dream come true

Dreams do come true I know cause I found you
I never thought they did but now I do dreams do come true

It was love at first sight and it was love all night
And the way he made love to me fulfilled all my fantasies
Oh this is a dream come true

Oh yes dreams do come true I know cause I found you
I never thought they did but you're living proof that dreams do come true
Dreams do come true and I'm so in love with you

FAMILY

(Dolly Parton - Carl Perkins) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
When it's family you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family you accept them cause you have no choice but to
When it's family they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test and you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest when it's family

Some are preachers some are gay some are addicts drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away when it's family
Some are lucky others ain't some are fighters other faint
Winners losers sinners saints it's all family

And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's family you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family you love and hate and take then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day in the family

You take the trouble as it comes and love 'em more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent it's still family
You choose your lovers you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in
They'll be with you till the end cause it's family

And when it's family you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
When it's family when it's family let me be all that I should be to the family

WILDEST DREAMS

(Dolly Parton - Mac Davis) « © '91 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Let's drink a toast to what might have been
To all that we were but can't be again
And let's just be thankful we parted as friends
Here's to the past let the future begin

Oh and here's to your wildest dreams baby
And here's to your everything
May your life be blessed with sweet happiness
Baby here's to your wildest dreams

I made a promise that I wouldn't cry
You go chase your rainbows go on reach for the sky
But come hold me close now look dep in my eyes
Tell me you love me then kiss me goodbye

Oh and here's to your wildest dreams baby...

I'll always love you and I'm on your side
In whatever you do I will take pride

Here's to your wildest dreams baby...
Baby here's to your wildest dreams
Dream dream on baby
