COUNTRY GIRL

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)
« © '70 Ragged Island Music, BMI »
New York is a long way from Texas
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flying out to LA
And if you've never been there
You don't know how lonesome big towns can be

Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
To be with my people my man and my kids
To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's
Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again

To go walking down a country road at sunset
And see colors I could almost touch right over head
To hear the gentle breeze a blowing at the treetops
No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead

Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again...
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again

CHANGE OF HEART

(Gene W. Evans)
« © '70 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
A change of heart would ben' mine eventually a changin' of mind
Be consider and you will find a change of heart would bein' mine

Please realize it's not too late we're still the masters of our fate
A type of love is hard to bein' find a change of heart would bein' mine

But you go on from day to day letting pride stand in our way
Don't you think now uit's the time a change of heart would bein' mine

Life is so short don't hesitate too many found out they're too late
Before we break the ties that bind a change of heart would bein' mine

A change of heart would ben' mine...
A change of heart would ben' mine...

AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson)
« © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
They say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I have for you

Yes I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret am I that easy to forget

Before you leave be sure you find you want her love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met if I'm that easy to forget
[ steel ] Before you leave be sure you find...
Yes I could find somebody too...

THAT'S A NO NO

(Ben Peters)
« © '69 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
You had quite good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin'
You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo
And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
Cause if you want me to love you that's a no no

I know you're used to goin' places with them lights and painted faces
Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go
I don't want to spoil your fun now but if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you that's a no no

You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if you just can't resist 'em if they're not out of your system
And if there's some more wild oats you've got to sow
Just remember while you're sowin' I'll be a packin' up and goin'
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
[ steel ] You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if some old flame starts burnin' or if you should get to yearnin'
To go back to where those women that you know go
Don't come home expectin' mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
Oh you should know by now that's a no no

I ALMOST CALLED YOUR NAME

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)
« © '70 Ragged island Music, BMI »
We were dancin' and he led just like you used to
He squeezed my hand and he teased me just like you used to
And so close to my lips the words came
That I almost yes I almost called your name

Yes I almost called your name
In so many ways you both are the same
The only difference in the two is that I I still of you
Oh yes I kissed him but I almost called your name
[ guitar ] Yes I almost called your name...
Yes I kissed him but I almost called your name

DARLING DAYS

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I never love again I won't feel cheated
You gave me more than I knew how to use
From the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autum years won't be with you

Seems like yeasterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my hand
I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Of what I'd give to live those darling days again
[ steel ] Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yeasterdays we knew
If I knew for sure the world would end tomorrow
I'd have to spend my last day loving you

Seems like yeasterday...
Of what I'd give to live those darling days again

WISH YOU WERE HERE

(Becki Bluefield - Celia Bass)
« © '70 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
Everyday the memories of someone that was dear to me
Keep running through my mind
The thoughts of all the love we shared and all the little things you said
That prove to me you cared

Time will never take away the mem'ries if our yesterday I cherrish them all
It's better to have love we lost than never to have none the love at all

Oh I wish you were here
Can't help the way I miss you and thinking how I need you wanting you near
Can't help the way I miss you and thinking how I need you wish you were here

I keep listenin' for the footsteps that I hear upon my doorsteps
To become reality
But all the things I hear them envy the little thoughts I'm thinking
Are just a vanity

Oh I wish you were here...
Wish you were here wish you were here

YOUR OLD LOVE LETTERS

(Johnny Bond)
« © '55 Vidor Publications, BMI »
Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them to try and find the wrongs I done
The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two
Now all alone I left you weeping for the ashes of your letters tied in blue
[ steel ] As I burned your old love letters I watched my dreams go up in smoke
I lived again those precious mem'ries I heard each tender word you spoke
The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one said that we were through
Our love is there among the embers in the ashes of your letters tied in blue

I LOVE HIM

(Fred Burch)
« © '70 Green Isle Music, BMI »
He was just every day plain as water or a piece of clay
Why did I let him stay I love him
Early morning the paper came he would run out in the rain
He would kiss me on his way I love him

Then for breakfast I'd make a mess burn his bacon and what was left
His same old smile I'd always get I love him
Then his ride would come by and from the corner of my eye
I see them watch us say goodbye I love him

Yes I was the one who took him from her I just couldn't help myself
Another woman cries alone while I hold the one she's known
If it's right if it's wrong I love him

Yes I was the one who took him...
Oh I love him yes I love him hmm I love him

WHEREVER YOU ARE

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)
« © '70 Ragged Island Music, BMI »
See the moon above the mountain watch the stars light up the sky
Oh wherever you are darling do you feel the same as I
Tell your heart you know that I love you and I never see us to care
Oh wherever you are my darling if I could I would be there
[ guitar - trumpet ] Do you wherever long to see me do you wherever feel this blue
Oh wherever you are daling do you know that I missing you
If I could feel your arms all around me if I could hold you close to me
Oh wherever you are my darling there my heart will always be
