(I'VE GOT A) HAPPY HEART

(Buck Owens - Pat Levely) « © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Happiness is something that we all need plenty of
It starts from deep inside your heart when you've someone to love
So if you're not as happy as you feel you ought to be
Find someone in this world to love and have a happy heart like me

I've got a happy heart I feel like I could almost fly
I think if someone shot me that I wouldn't even die
Just find someone to live for and to love and then you'll see
Why I've got this happy heart inside of me
[ guitar ] A smile is so becoming yet how many times it's true
A person wears a frown cause it's a habit to be blue
Sometimes it takes convincing that life can't be all that bad
Just take a look around you and you won't feel quite so sad

I've got a happy heart I feel like I could almost fly...
Why I've got this happy heart inside of me

ADIOS FAREWELL GOODBYE GOOD LUCK SO LONG

(Buck Owens) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't wanna see you peeking through my window
I don't wanna hear you call me on the phone
I don't wanna hear you knocking on my door babe
Adios farewell goodbye good luck so long

Well you put me through the paces like a champion
Like a champion I jumped through the hoop for you
That's all over now go find a brand new sucker
Congratulations dear I've had the course with you

I don't wanna see you peeking through my window...
[ guitar ] Well I guess I'll have to get an act of congress
To convince you that our love affair is through
Every time you snap your fingers I come running
But that's all over now I'm sick and tired of you

And I don't wanna see you peeking through my window...
Adios farewell goodbye good luck so long

I'LL BE SWINGIN' TOO

(Buck Owens - Don Rich) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been hearin' stories about the way you're carryin' on
Tellin' everybody you won't miss me when I'm gone
But there ain't no time in my young life to worry over you
So I'm back in circulation now and I'll be swingin' too

I'll be swingin' too a rollin' every night
All the men chase me tryin' to hold me tight
Hittin' all the nightspots stayin' out till way past two
Big mama's back in action now and I'll be swingin' too
[ guitar ] You're crazy if you think I'm a gonna wait the long nights through
That cheatin' game you play don't work for me as well as you
So if you don't believe me hidin' one chip it ain't true
Well you'll find me where the action is and I'll be swingin' too

I'll be swingin' too a rollin' every night...
Big mama's back in action now and I'll be swingin' too

YOU'LL NEVER MISS THE WATER

(Buck Owens - Don Rich) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh you'll never miss the water till the well runs dry
You'll regret each and every time you've made me cry
You'll never miss me darling till I say goodbye
You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry

You thought you were taking candy from a baby
But I caught you with your fingers in the pie
Now you'd better realize just what you're doing
Cause you'll never miss the water till the well runs dry

Oh you'll never miss the water...
[ guitar ] I've headed up to here with all your cheatin'
And those little lies you tell me on the sly
Now you'd better listen close to what I'm sayin'
Cause you'll never miss the water till the well runs dry

Oh you'll never miss the water...
No you'll never miss the water till the well runs dry

DON'T EVER TELL ME GOODBYE

(Buck Owens - Red Simpson) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Hurt me as much as you want to
If tears make you happy then I'll cry
Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye

Break my heart if that brings pleasure
And take the twinkle from my eyes
Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye

Don't tell me goodbye whatever you do
For I just couldn't live if I ever lost you
Tell all our friends that it's all over
Just say that the fault was all mine

Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye
No don't ever tell me goodbye

FALLIN' FOR YOU

(Buck Owens - Don Rich - Bonnie Owens) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh the bells started ringing and the birds started singing
And the clock on the corner struck two
Thunder started crashing and the lightning started flashing
And I knew I was fallin' for you

I was standing on the corner when I knew that I was a goner
The first time you came into view
Well my knees started knocking and my head started rocking
And I knew I was fallin' for you

Oh the bells started ringing...
[ banjo ] Well you scared me half to death I could hardly catch a breath
Your smile made my heart go boom
I was almost paralyzed when I looked into your eyes
And I knew I was fallin' for you

Oh the bells started ringing...
And then I knew I was fallin' for you

WITHOUT YOU

(Buck Owens - Gene Price) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When the dawn brings another new day
I try to force myself to say
I'm finally over you
But sunshine doesn't mean a thing
I spent my time remembering
The things we used to do

Yes you're gone and there's no way
To go back to yesterday
And I don't know what I'll do without you

I've told myself a million times
I've got to get you off my mind
But I never do
And so I'll spend another day
Remembering my life away
And missing you

Yes you're gone and there's no way...
Without you

ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET

(Buck Owens) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home
Gonna treat you like the VIP like you ain't never known
I'm gonna have brass band at the station
Gonna let 'em know what the united nation
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

Well I think I hear old 99 around in the bend
And I know it won't be long until you're in my arms again
I'm a gonna love you hug and kiss you
I'm a gonna let you know how much I miss you
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I'm gonna roll out the red carpet...
[ steel ] Well I worn out my best shoes walkin' the floor
And I won't sleep a wink until you knock on my door
When I got a word that you were a comin'
The clock on the wall is about stop runnin'
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home

I'm gonna roll out the red carpet...
And I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home
