I'VE LOVED YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD
(Glenn Johnson)
« © '73 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I've loved you all over the world
In every place I've been you were with me and then
There never was anyone but you sweet girl
I've loved you all over the world
You still share my pillow each night
Pressed so close to me sharing each memory
You still keep my mind in a whirl sweet girl
I've loved you all over the world
Carolina Virginia California to Maine
From New York to Texas this feeling remains
City sidewalks and each country road sweet girl
I've loved you all over the world
[ steel ]
City sidewalks and each country road sweet girl
I've loved you all over the world

HOUR AND A SIX-PACK
(Bill Anderson)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I just got home and found a note that you left lying on my pillow case
You say you're leaving me you found another man to take my place
And then you wish me luck and say you hope that I'll get over you somehow
Honey I won't even know your name an hour and a six-pack from now
You're an hour and a six-pack away from not existing anymore
An hour and a six-pack and I won't care how much I cared before
Watch the clock pop-the-tops swallow all the pain and then the pride
And with all that we had going baby don't it hurt you knowing
My love is just an hour and a six-pack wide
I never was the kind of man who liked to stand and rummage through the ashes
When it's gone then it's gone take it out and leave it where the trash is
If you think I'll be missing you this time tomorrow baby drop around
I'm an hour and a six-pack away from being over you right now
You're an hour and a six-pack away from not existing anymore
An hour and a six-pack and I won't care how much I cared before
Watch the clock pop-the-tops smile and settle back and go to sleep
And with all that we had going don't it hurt you baby knowing
My love is just an hour and a six-pack deep

PASS ME BY (IF YOU'RE ONLY PASSING THROUGH)
(Hillman Hall)
« © '72 Leahrae Music, BMI »
Now would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake to make
A bridge to burn to get to someone knew
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
Cause you sure look like the traveling kind to me
Baby don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
I don't know what you think you're running to
But pass me by if you're only passing through
[ piano ]
I'm not gonna be your steppin' stone
Among the other hearts that you've walked on
And Lord help me if I fall in love with you
So pass me by if you're only passing through
Yeah pass me by if you're only passing through

GOOD TIME CHARLIE'S GOT THE BLUES
(Danny O'Keefe)
« © '70 Road Canon Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Everybody's gone away said they're moving to LA
There's not a soul I know around everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight some caught a plane find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town'll waste your time I guess they're right it's wasting mine
Some gotta win some gotta lose good time Charlie's got the blues
You know my heart keeps telling me you're not a kid at thirty-three
You play around you lose your wife you play too long you lose your life
I got my pills to ease the pain can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and settle down but everybody's leaving town
Some gotta win some gotta lose good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues good time Charlie's got the blues
No Charlie's got the blues

I CAN'T WAIT TO DREAM THAT DREAM AGAIN
(Wayne Kemp - Mack Vickery)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Last night our home seemed so much warmer
And once more you'd lay sleeping by my side
You wasn't there when I woke up this morning
I must have dreamed that dream again last night
I know now you won't be coming home
But tonight you'll come and lay down next to me
When the sun comes up I'll turn my head away
And pretend it's still so dark that I can't see
And when those evening shadows start falling
And darkness is just around the bend
When sleep comes to me you'll come calling
And I can't wait to dream that dream again
[ steel ]
And I can't wait to dream that dream again

I CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS OFF OF YOU
(Bobby Borchers - Mack Vickery)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You know I can't stand to be around you
Cause you know I'm still in love with you
And my arms keep reaching to do what my thoughts do all the time
I just can't keep my hands off of you
Woman you've got the man inside my body trembling
In the way only you know how to do
And I guess that's just one of many reasons
That I just can't keep my hands off of you
Cause it's like looking at heaven while I'm standing in hell
Cause we shared something precious for a while
And you look just like a baby in a cradle
And I just can't keep my hands off of you

IT'S NOT THE MILES YOU TRAVELED
(David Hall - Louis Redding)
« © '72 Court Of Kings, BMI »
I see that you're well traveled prob'ly been around the world
I don't think that's the answer cause you're still a lonely girl
Don't tell me the things you've done and places you have stayed
If it's not the miles you've traveled then surely it must be the stops you've made
Each stop has left a mark that even time cannot erase
They cannot be forgotten cause they're written on your face
I wonder if you'd felt true love in all the games you've played
If it's not the miles you've traveled then surely it must be the stops you've made
[ guitar ]
So traveling girl moved all the places far away from here
Don't let me be reminder that I almost held you near
I could learn to love you but I'd still be so afraid
If I can't go the miles you're travelin' I don't wanna be another step you'll make
If I can't go the miles you're travelin' I don't wanna be another step you'll make

HEAVEN IS JUST A TOUCH AWAY
(Carl Knight - Charles Pendleton - Abe Potwein)
« © '71 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I awake and there you are beside me
I look at you and search for words to say
I've said it oh so many times but once again I love you
And heaven is just a touch away
All my troubles left last night as you held me
But I'm sure more will find me today
But they all disappear when I'm back inside your arms
And heaven is just a touch away
Heaven is just a touch away
And I want to let you know in so many different ways
I know I've said it oh so many times but once again I love you
And heaven is just a touch away
Oh and heaven is just a touch away

GREEN DOOR
(Marvin Moore - Bob Davie)
« © '63 Alley Music, BMI »
Midnight one more night without sleeping
Watching till the morning comes creeping
Green door what's that secret you're keeping
Well there's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doing but they laugh a lot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's behind the green door
Knocked once tried to tell 'em I'd been there
Door slammed hospitalists this there
Wonder just what's going on in there
Saw an eyeball peeping through a smoky cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door
Well there's an old piano and they play it hot...
