I CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM MYSELF

(Hank Cochran - Ray Price) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The day you left me I left town that night
I thought I could forget that you're out of sight
But you're still a part of me and so I see
That miles can't change a thing for me

I ran away from friends that we once knew
I tried to run from thoughts of losing you
I ran away from everybody else
But I can't run away from myself
[ fiddle - steel ] It makes no difference just how far I'd go
Your memory will always haunt me so
I realize the truth now since I left
That I can't run away from myself

I ran away from friends that we once knew...

EACH TIME

(Ray Price) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Each time I see your picture a flood of memories starts
And the blue tide that's rising around my feet is breaking inside my heart
And though I fight with all of my might the burning desire remain
For each time I see your picture I lose my heart again
[ fiddle - steel ] I hide the frame to shut out the pain then wake up searching the dark
Oh I just can't rest until I caress the cold glass that's holding my heart
I haven't yet learned how to forget and the burning desire remain
For each time I see your picture I lose my heart again

I'VE JUST DESTROYED THE WORLD

(Willie Nelson - Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The sun just went behind the clouds there's darkness all around me now
For I've just destroyed the world I'm living in
I broke her so many times and now at last I've broken mine
I've just destroyed the world I'm living in

What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I should have known there'd have to be an end
But fools in love I thought by fate they never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm living in
[ steel - fiddle ] What made me think that I could go on hurting her...

SAME OLD ME

(Frank Owen) « © '59 Writer Share, PD »
When I saw you with your new love today
It hurt me in an old familiar way
And I know there is nothing I can do
But how long this'll be here waiting just for you

With the same two arms still missing you
And the same old heart still bein' true
And the same two lips they still belong to you
And the same old me keeps loving you
[ fiddle - steel ] I have tried everything to drive you from my heart
But the mem'ry of you makes me feel so blue
And with every heartbeat I can feel the teardrops start
So you'll always find me waiting here for you

With the same two arms...

24TH HOUR

(Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There are twenty-three hours that I can't get by
But the 24th hour is the one when I cry
I pray that it won't come but it comes anyhow
And the 24th hour is right about now

Right about now the heartaches start calling
Right about now the teardrops start falling
The late show is over and there's no place to go
And it's right about now that I miss you you so
[ steel - fiddle ] I start couting the hours when daylight began
For I know that when night comes just how it will end
I pray that it won't come but it comes anyhow
And the 24th hour is right about now

Right about now the heartaches start calling...

WALKING SLOW (AND THINKING BOUT HER)

(Bobby Bare - Lance Guyness) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
When shadows fall I'm twice as lonely how I miss my one and only
Gone the night like many nights before
Ever since the day I found her all my world's been built around her
Just like before she's hurt me once more
And I'm walking the floor

Walking slow and thinking bout her how long can I live without her
Teardrops dim these eyes that watch the door
Though I've got this heartsick feeling still I hope that she'll come stealing
Back through the door like always before
I'll forgive her once more and stop walking the floor
[ steel - fiddle ] Walking slow and thinking bout her...

SOFT RAIN

(Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Soft rain was falling when you told me goodbye
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
The love born in heaven had suddenly died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by men
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried
[ steel ] The rain started falling when you told me goodbye
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to grey
And the angels cried with me as you walked away

If love can be perfect ours must have been...

IF SHE COULD SEE ME NOW

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I saw the one I loved and lost last night again
I smiled and said hello like we were still old friends
Don't pitty me it never matter anyhow
But oh if she could see me now

If she could see me now when the night life's gone
I'd sat I really looked without my party face on
The way I just give up sit down and cry out loud
But oh if she could see me now
[ fiddle ] I'm first at every party and the last to leave
And no one sees the hurt that's deep inside of me
I drink too much and say who wants her anyhow
But oh if she could see me now

If she could see me now...

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
It goes bigger day by day please make the world go away

I was wrong the day I left you and let the world leave me astray
If you'll say that you forgive me you'll make the world go away

Oh make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
I go weaker day by day please make the world go away

I'm sorry that I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Can you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
Can you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Say the things you used to say and make the world go away
I can't stand another day please make the world go away
Say you'll take me back to stay and make the world go away
