HOPE YOU'RE FEELIN' ME (LIKE I'M FEELIN' YOU)

(Jim Rushing - Bobby David) « © '75 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
No one could hold me no one could control me
But now my future is up to you
Your lovin' can shape me make me or break me
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

This feelin' is crazy and only you can save me
From this love thing that I've got for you
Your love is a potion Lord and I need a notion
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

All these changes got me goin' in circles
First I turn away then turn right back to you
Well I need your lovin' to keep me from sinkin'
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you
[ guitar ] Wanna win when I gamble no need to ramble
I doubled my lovin' when I gave it to you
I gotta do it with you I can't do it without you
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

Cause these changes got me goin' in circles...
Yes I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

SEARCHING FOR THE MORNING SUN

(Jerry Grindele - Paul Gibbons - Tony Hatch) « © '75 Roz Tense Music, BMI »
Standin' in a pourin' rain on a cold Chicago day
A worn and battered suitcase in my hand
Watch the trains pullin' in and out the people are rushin' about
Wonderin' what goes to the making of a man

Searchin' for the mornin' sun and ev'ry place and ev'ryone
Lord I got a troubled mind
Lookin' for somethin' that I might never find
[ guitar ] Sittin' on a crowded train a ticket in my right hand
Nothin' but confusion on my mind
Now there's been several towns thought I'd lay my wanderin' down
I tried 'em once and I left them all behind

Searchin' for the mornin' sun and ev'ry place and ev'ryone...
Searchin' for the mornin' sun and ev'ry place and ev'ryone..
Lookin' for somethin' that I might never find

HARDEST PART OF LIVIN'S LOVING ME

(Don Feagin) « © '75 Roz Tense Music, BMI »
Yes your hardest part of livin's lovin' me
Must be thousands of good reasons that I may never see
Still you keep that candle burnin' let me live there in your dreams
You're the reasons for tomorrow you're the sunshine mornin' brings

I've got friends in lots of places and I'm quick to call their name
And I know you've got a lotta friends and you could do the same
I've got answers to their problems solutions they can't see
But your hardest part of livin's lovin' me

I've got feelin's for the man who's down and it hurts to see his pain
And I know that when you cry at night those tears like fallin' rain
That it's cryin' tears of hopin' for things you pray to be
And your hardest part of livin's lovin' me

Yes your the hardest part of livin's lovin' me...
You're the reasons for tomorrow you're the sunshine morning bring

NOW AND THEN

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '75 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Now and then if I could just see you just enough to get me through
Get me through the times when I need love take me in now and then

Now and then hold me in the night just enough to get me by
Get me by when I feel so alone take me in now and then

Now and then I need a kind of love
And the kind of love you give is all I'll ever need
All I need is showing me you care
And knowing you'll be there to believe in me

Now and then if I could count on you just enough to see me through
See me through the times when I need love take me in now and then

Now and then I need a kind of love...
Now and then now and then

FOOLS

(Johnny Duncan) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Fools never learn you play with fire and you gonna get burned
You and I are fools we play with love so we gonna get burned
Fools that's what we are fools we've gone too far I know
But then love you come to me your eyes on fire you're tempting me
Love knows no bound beggar or king it'll bring you down
Fools find love somehow fools we can't stop now I know
But then love this I know fool I may be I can't let go
Love this I know fool I may be I can't let you go
Fool I may be I can't let you go

I AIN'T ALL BAD

(Johnny Duncan) « © '75 Roz Tense Music, BMI »
I picked last night in Tucson I sang 'em a country song
Missed my plane this mornin' Lord cause we partied all night long
I'm out here now usin' my thumb tryin' to make it to El Paso
Cause tonight I play at the cabarete they done told it on the radio

To a country singer it's a lonesome road
With time hangin' heavy on my hands
If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love
Baby that don't make me all bad

I been high and I been low and I've been to San Antone
But the worst by far than I've ever been was when I've been alone
Tomorrow night I'm in Austin I've got some ol' friends there
There's Daryl Jeff and Willie and Sam and a girl with the long dark hair

To a country singer it's a lonesome road...

There's one last stop down in Shreveport on this tour of one night stands
Then I've got some time but no peace of mind till I'm back on the road again
If my ole guitar had learned to talk and it would tell about the things I done
There's a mighty good woman back in big D would never ever let me come home

To a country singer it's a lonesome road...
If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love baby that don't make me all bad

SHE'S AS CLOSE AS I CAN GET TO LOVING YOU

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '70 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Her hair should be a little darker
And her eyes should be a deeper blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you

She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playin' the part I planned for you
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you
[ piano ] You'd approve of the way that she dresses
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
I taught her ev'rything that I remember
And she's as close as I can get to loving you

She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two...
But she's as close as I can get to loving you

ONE MILE MORE

(Ann Monkhouse) « © '66 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Ol' beatup suitcase on the platform a train ticket in my hand
And a train just arrivin' that'll take me as far as fourteen dollars can
But a train won't take me far enough it never has before
I gotta find how far a memory reaches and then go one mile more

I ain't never found a moun'ain that was high enough
Or a hole too dark and deep
Cause if I lose her mem'ry in a bottle of wine
Then she'll find me in my sleep
[ guitar ] I think of me and that ol' suitcase the places we both been
Down the rails and jails and the cheap hotels and now we're gone again
And when I ride my money up and they won't let me ride no more
Then I'll wait by the track for a slow movin' freight and watch for an open door

I ain't never found a moun'ain that was high enough...
Then she'll find me in my sleep then she'll find me in my sleep

YOU'RE THE WOMAN BEHIND EVERYTHING

(Gary Stewart) « © '75 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I was a man without reason until I met a special lady
And now I know the joy of really livin'
And you're the woman behind ev'rything

Morning comes a little easier
When your world is waiting there for me
Nights are the dreams of ecstasy
And you're the woman behind ev'rything

And darlin' when I need you you're there to pullin' me through
Saying baby go on you can do it
And oh this feeling that falls over me
And you're the woman behind ev'rything
Yes you're the woman behind ev'rything

LOVIN' UNDERSTANDIN' MAN

(Jim Rushing) « © '74 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
My baby changes like the weather
One day she's warm and then she's cold
But some day I'll understand her better
In a thousand years or so

But as long as there's blue sky above me
And as long as there's life in my hand
My baby knows I always will be her lovin' understandin' man

My baby rocks me like the ocean
Don't know which way she's gonna go
But maybe some day she'll find direction
In a thousand years or so

But as long as there's blue sky above me...
[ guitar ] But as long as there's blue sky above me...
Her lovin' understandin' man
