IF YOU AIN'T LOVIN' (YOU AIN'T LIVIN')

(Tommy Collins) « © '54 Cental Songs, BMI »
Well if you got a Cadillac boy and a forty room shack boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin' no smoochin' or muggin'
If you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on the gravy train instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hay boy cause you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta het a little honey for it's better than money
If you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'
[ steel ] If they call you a big big man cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the president and if you help run the government
But if you're gettin' no attention you better off on a pension
If you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'
[ fiddle ] If you got a string of long cars and you're smokin' them fourbit cigars
Well you ain't so well to do unless you get a little choochy coo
It takes a little bit of smackin' or your life is a lackin'
If you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'

UNDER THESE CONDITIONS

(Troy Seals - Ronnie McDowell - Joe Meador) « © '87 Tree Publishing, BMI / Strawberry Lane Music, BMI / WB Music, ASCAP »
Oh how I wish you could read my mind
Cause words can't always tell it like it is some times
When we're this close the lights and music glow
Why don't we let our feelings take us where we want to go

Under these conditions there ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions that's running wild to night
A man needs a woman a women needs a man
And under these conditions hearts get out of hand
[ fiddle ] You've got those eyes that won't let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch with reality
And you got those lips that I've just got to taste
I'd love to hear them whisper darling take me from this place

Under these conditions...

BABY BLUE

(Aaron Barker) « © '87 Muy Bueno Music, BMI / Bill Butler Music, BMI »
She looked so much like a lady but she was so much like a child
The devil when she held me close an angel when she smiled
She always held it deep inside but somehow I always knew
She'd go away when the grass turned green and the sky turned baby blue

Baby blue was the color of her eyes baby blue like the Colorado skies
Like a breath of spring she came and left and I still don't know why
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight

She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched
When she taught me how to care I never cared so much
I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue

Baby blue was the color of her eyes...
Baby blue was the color of her eyes...
Baby blue was the color of her eyes baby blue like the Colorado skies
Baby blue was the color of her eyes baby blue

DON'T MIND IF I DO

(Don Sampson - Skip Ewing) « © '87 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Write On Music, BMI / MCA Music, ASCAP »
Weather man says it's raining again
Perfect night for staying in
Looking at you I don't doubt that it's true
And did I hear you say baby put on a smile
Kick your shoes off and stay a while
Well since you asked me to I don't mind if I do

That old clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried bout the time at all
Long as I'm making time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light Opry radio I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to I don't mind if I do
[ piano - fiddle - dobro ] That old clock can just tick off the wall...
Just as long as it's you baby I don't mind if I do

BIGGER MAN THAN ME

(Curtis Wayne) « © '87 Muy Bueno Music, BMI / Cow Cents Music, BMI »
I never thought too much about her leaving
I'd found someone and there was no doubt
But this time the feeling's strange and different
Since she's gone there's one thing I've found out

It takes a mighty man that live with lonesome
Some bigger man might live with misery
But there's one thing I know for sure I'm certain
It's for sure it's gonna take like bigger man than me
[ fiddle - steel ] I never suffered much in the hurt line
I've always been as big as any man
But show me who can lose in love and like it
Now I'd be the first who proudly shake his hand

It takes a mighty man that live with lonesome...
It's for sure it's gonna take like bigger man than me

FAMOUS LAST WORDS OF A FOOL

(Dean Dillon - Rex Houston) « © '83 Tree Publishing, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Forrest Hills Music, BMI »
I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door
I couldn't careless if she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes I lied I was glad we were through
As she drove away crying at the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

The first night without her would be easy I kept telling myself
All the while dying at the thought of her lying somewhere else
There'll be nothing to it I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool...
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

IT'S TOO LATE NOW

(David Chamberlain) « © '87 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Remember how lonely I told you it would be without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that I've found somebody new you've changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say

It's too late now just tell me how long did you think
I'd be your foo and I would sit right here and wait
For you to make up your mind to show up well just turn around
I'm sorry it's too late now
[ piano - dobro ] Well didn't I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late to say you'd made a big mistake
And now you've come back like you've never been gone
Well baby you're wrong somebody else has taken your place

It's too late now...

IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN

(Dean Dillon - Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin) « © '87 Careers BMG Music, BMI / Hookeh Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Is it that time again closing time closing in
Are they turning out the lights must I go home
Cause her memory is haunting me
Waiting here to see I'm not alone

I know I just can't stand another lonely night
This man is going out out of his mind
Since she left me behind since she left me behind

Am I the last one here please just one more beer
And I'll be on my way back to the blues
Back down lonely street to a house that's steep
Of nothing but the line of bad news

I know I just can't stand another lonely night...
[ fiddle - dobro ] I know I just can't stand another lonely night...

LET'S GET DOWN TO IT

(David Lewis) « © '87 Get Down To It Music, ASCAP »
Dont' need your love on a silver platter
Let's get down to the nitty grit
Let's cut out all the chatter get to the ehart of the matter
Honey let's get down to it

Let's get down to some huggin' and some squeezin'
Arm and arm we'd be a perfect fit
So put a freeze on the teasin' let's get on with the pleasin'
Honey let's get down to it

Uh I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those bug green eye's
Baby let's come to grits don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it
[ piano - fiddle - steel - guitar ] I get a chill every time your near me
You've got my heart doin' flips
I only aim to please if you'd let go you'd see
Honey let's get down to it

Uh I know that you want to...
Honey let's get down to it

BACK TO BEIN' ME

(Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon) « © '87 Tree Publishing, BMI / Careers Music, BMI »
I'm back to bein' me I'm back to bein' nobody
Who I was before I was who I used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now are dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like see and what I see
No thanks to you I'm back to bein' me
[ steel ] These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep...

back to bein' me I'm back to bein' nobody
Who I was before I was who I used to be
I'm back to bein' me I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' me
