Wynn Stewart, in love, sings a bundle of lovely ballads, some lamenting the loss of a good woman like A Tough Row to Hoe while others glory in a different kind of love. There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere for instance, shows Wynn's deep love for his country while Louisiana Blues Harp Man gives him a chance to demonstrate his love for good rhythmic Country music.
A song to listen to often and heed well is the title song. It was first released as a single by Wynn and it's packed full of good advice for would-be Don Juans. When you come right down to it, Wynn Stewart, is really an expert on love songs and that's because he's been singing and writing them ever since he was a teenager. Included here is Wynn's A Thousand Wonders. It praises all the wonderful ways of a woman Wynn once must have known very well. Missing You, another love song, but in a sadder vein, must be one of Wynn's favorites, for with outstanding backing by the Tourists, he sings this one with all the natural tenderness and careful phrasing that have made him so famous. Wynn Stewart, in love with the ups and downs of romance, in love with America and most of all, in love with his music is a real and lasting listening pleasure for everyone who shares his many loves.

IN LOVE
(Bobby George)
« © '67 Freeway Music, BMI »
Little girl blue come say you're mine
Leave all your cares and troubles begin
To live like people live in in love
Cause life is a trip if you've got the fare
You've gotta start here to get something
Live like people live in in love
Keep your eyes on the wheel your mind on the grin'stone
Don't let troubles get in
Well life is life and it's barely worth livin'
You've got to be out to be in
So little girl blue come say you're mine
Leave all your cares and troubles begin
To live like people live in in love
Keep your eyes on the wheel...

MISSING YOU

Missing you oh how I'm wishing you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me
Kissing you that's all I want to do
It's never seemed just right now that we are apart
I'm always spending time writing lines to you
Oh how I wish you'd write and tell me you miss me too
Right now I'm missing you and how I'm wishing you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me
[ steel ]
I'm always spending time...

DON'T LAY YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER
(Dale Noe)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
Don't lay your head on my shoulder
Cause I've been lonely too long
And there's a part missing from my heart
And if you won't let me how can I be strong
Don't get so close I might kiss you
A flame would be easy to start
And don't lay your head on my shoulder
Cause it's too close to my heart
[ steel ]
Oh don't get so close I might kiss you...
Cause it's too close to my heart

HAPPY BLUES
(Dale Noe)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
I woke up this morning not a cloud in the sky
It made me so happy I felt like I could fly
Over mountains cause I'm in love with you
And you'll be back tomorrow
That's why I've got the happy happy blues
I'll have no more cryin' no more lonely days
All my cares and worries will up and fly away
Whenever the sun shines when this whole day is through
And you'll be back tomorrow
That's why I've got the happy happy blues ha ha
[ guitar - piano ]
I'll have no more cryin' no more lonely days...

TOUGH ROW TO HOE
(Bobby George)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
Ridin' into town on the back of a truck
Fresh out of money fresh out of luck
The one that I love just walked out a day ago
I've got a lot of mem'ries I've got a tough row to hoe
Well look what I've become in a night and a day
I lost my happy home I just had to get away
I'm a gonna keep on runnin' till this hurt no longer shows
My future don't look sunny I've got a tough row to hoe
And off in the distance there's a mountain so high
Oh it's gonna get cold and lonely when the snow starts to fly
And she'll be in his arms while this lonely feeling grows
Oh I've got to forget her I've got a tough row to hoe
[ steel ]
Yes off in the distance...
Yes I've got to forget her I've got a tough row to hoe

THOUSAND WONDERS
(Dale Noe - Wynn Stewart)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
You don't hate me you still love me
Though many times I've made you blue
And you still want my arms around you
It's a thousand wonders that you do
You missed me when I tried to forget you
I even told you we were through
Oh how could you still want me near you
It's a thousand wonders that you do
With only one chance in a million
Well I'll make up for all I've done to you
How did you know how much I love you
It's a thousand wonders that you do
[ steel ]
With only one chance in a million...

THERE'S A STAR SPANGLED BANNER WAVING SOMEWHERE
(Paul Roberts - Shelby Darnell - David McEnery)
« © '42 MCA Music, ASCAP »
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
In a distant land so far across the sea
It's waving for the ones who fought and died there
And for those who only wanted to be free
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
Now don't say that it's not right for there to be
A star spangled banner waving somewhere
Cause it's waving there for you and for me
[ guitar ]
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes...

MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
(Bob Morris - Larry Farmer)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Some folks are happy others are sad
Some folks are good others are bad
But they can live their lives just anyway they choose
As long as I can live in my own little world with you
Some folks want fortune others want fame
Some folks want big cars others diamond rings
But they can have their fortunes and all their diamonds too
As long as I can live in my own little world with you
I wouldn't trade one moment of happiness with you
For all their gold and all their silver too
Some call me foolish but I'm nobody's fool
Cause I'm happy here in my own little world with you
Cause I'm happy here in my own little world with you

LOUISIANA BLUES HARP MAN
(Carl Walden)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
Well there's a mojo man down in Lousianne he plays the french harp blues
A sidewalk corner down in New Orleans is all he's got to lose is all he's got to lose
There's a cigar box a down at his feet bread crumbs he catch a few
The Lousianne blues harp man he'll play a song for you he'll play a song for you
One morning dew found him through the lonely blues harp man but his echos near
You still can hear though his life had ran though his life had ran
But up above he loves on love no cajun beats can explain
But those who hear they listen clear to the Lousianne blues harp man
Lousianne blues harp man

I'LL DIE TRYIN'
(Dale Noe)
« © '68 Freeway Music, BMI »
The job that stands before me won't be easy
May not live to see the day you'll love me too
But I'll die tryin' cause all I live for is you
Competition's always great that's what they tell me
And I know that ev'ry word of this is true
But I'll die tryin' cause all I live for is you
I'm gettin' tired of playin' ring-around-the-rosie
But I won't give up like you want me to do
Oh this heart inside of me can't last forever
Cause it fights a battle that it's sure to lose
But I'll die tryin' cause all I live for is you
[ steel ]
I'm gettin' tired of playin'...
Yes I'll die tryin' cause all that I live for is you
