JUST HANGIN' ON

(Wayland Holyfield) « © '77 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Up in the morning stumble out of my bed find me a used cigarette
Yesterday's coffee in a bent paper cup helps me clear up my head
Just hangin' on can't call it livin' I'm just hangin' on

I go through the motions of working my job all day I'm dreading the night
Sour mash whiskey and a friend now and then Lord they help me get by
Just hangin' on can't call it livin' I'm just hangin' on

Lord knows without her notning much matter
All she left me was alone so alone

The tavern is empty my glass is full the bartender's sweepin' the floor
The waitress is yawning and stacking up chairs but I order one more
I'm just hangin' on can't call it livin' feel like dyin'
Can't call it livin' I'm just hangin' on

IT'S TOO LATE TO STOP US NOW

(Bob McDill - Waylaynd Holyfield) « © '77 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Let the phone just keep on ringing
Let's pretend that we don't hear a sound
Tell the world to wait till morning
It's too late to stops us now

Draw the shade and pull the curtains lock the door and hide the key
For a while let's just imagine there's no one else but you and me
All the things that came between us they don't matter anyhow
Tell the world go on without us it's too late to stops us now

Let the phone just keep on ringing...
[ guitar ] See the sun set through the window making patterns cross the room
See our shadows come together in the lazy afternoon
This old world will keep on turning it'll get along somehow
Tell the world go on without us it's too late to stops us now

Let the phone just keep on ringing...
Let the phone just keep on ringing...

DON'T LET ME CROSS OVER

(Penny Jay) « © '62 Troy Martin Music, BMI »
I'm tempted my darling to steal you away
Don't let me cross over stay out of my way
You know that I love you but I'm not the stealing kind
But I'm faced with heartaches and love's cheating line

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
And I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
[ steel ] I've tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep sayin' that you love me too
And I know if I lose you not a dream would I have left
I don't want to cheat dear I can't help myself

Don't let me cross over...
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

WHEN YOUR PHONE DON'T RING

(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin) « © '77 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tonight when you lay lonely in your king size bed
With a hunger inside you can feel
I'll be the empty spot laying next to you
And when your phone don't ring it'll be me

It'll be me not calling you crying like I used to do
Crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone begging let me come back home
When your phone don't ring it'll be me
[ steel ] And tonight it'll be my car not in your driveway
You'll wonder where on earth I could be
It'll be my footsteps you don't hear in your hallway
And when your phone don't ring it'll be me

It'll be me not calling you...
It'll be me not calling you...
And when your phone don't ring it'll be me

MIDNIGHT LOVERS

(Dennis Linde) « © '77 Combine Music, BMI »
Well it started in a barroom and moved on to a bedroom
Now the midnight lovers are strangers on Sunday morning

He buttoms his shirt and he rubs his head
Looks across at the woman covered up on the bed
He walks to the window and stares out at the street
And underneath the blanket she slips on her robe
Says do you want some coffee he says her no
They struggle through a conversation where the eyes never meet

Well it started in a barroom...

He carefully works on a look of surprise
Glances down at his watch and he widen his eyes
Says oh my God it's eleven honey I've got to run
As he's talkin' he stands up to go
She smiles to herself as they walk through the door
They kiss like bashful children in the morning sun

Well it started in a barroom...

Last night she was a fine looking girl today she looks so plain
She thought he had a sensational smile
But in the morning light it looks a little bit strange

Well it started in a barroom...
Now the midnight lovers are strangers on Sunday morning

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 that I'm still in love with you
And my arms keep reaching out to do what my thoughts do all the time
And I can't keep my hands off of you

Cause it's like looking at heaven while I'm standing in hell
We shared something precious for a while
And you look just like a baby in a cradle
And I can't keep my hands off of you

Woman you've got the man inside me trembling
The way that only you know how to do
And I guess that's just one of a million reasons
That I can't keep my hands off of you

Cause it's like looking at heaven...

I WANNA BE THERE WHEN THE LOVIN' STARTS

(Curly Putman - Sonny Throckmorton - Don Cook) « © '77 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
Somebody's gonna get love at my house tonight
Some lucky fool is gonna wind up with two arms holdin' him tight
It was anyone else but me it would break my heart
Turn the stereo on I'm on my way home
I wanna be there when the lovin' starts

I wanna be there baby when the lovin' get down to it
And if there's any lovin' done I wanna be the one to do it
And when I get you along you know I'm gonna know my part
Turn the stereo on I'm on my way home
I wanna be there when the lovin' starts
[ horns ] I wanna be there baby when the lovin' get right down to it
And if there's any lovin' done I wanna be the one to do it
And when I get you along you know I'm gonna know my part
Hang on till then and don't you begin
I wanna be there when the lovin' starts
Turn the stereo on I'm on my way home
I wanna be there when the lovin' starts

IF I HAD A CHEATING HEART

(Wayland Holyfield - Al Turney) « © '78 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Your ruby lips girl they tempt
And your beauty is a work of art
I could get lost inside your arms
If I had a cheatin' heart

Your eyes tell me you don't mean maybe
And oh baby you're makin' it hard
And it would be easy to let you please me
If I had a cheatin' heart

You touch my hand and my knees get weak
If I'm leaving I'd better start
I bet you'd turn me every way but loose
If I had a cheatin' heart

Your eyes tell me you don't mean maybe...
Your eyes tell me you don't mean maybe...

SHADY REST

(Bob McDill) « © '78 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Oh she was twenty-one she liked to have her fun and she was restless
And I met her through a friend just one look then I knew I was helpless
And there beside the highway underneath the trees
There were fifteen cozy rooms and a coke machine
And the summer nights were warm
We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

They said she married well I read all they had to tell in the papers
And I thought she had it all till she gave me a call three weeks later
And there beside the highway underneath the trees
There were fifteen cozy rooms and fourteen vacancies
And the autumn nights were cool
We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

Our love was somehow special our love was somehow blessed
Through the years it never faltered down at Shady Rest
Now she's thirty-one with three kids at home and a husband waiting
And I got kids of my own but I spent my time at home anticipating
And there beside the highway underneath the trees
We spend two nights a week in good old number three
And the winter nights are cold
We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

(Shady Rest Shady Rest) stay a little longer
(Shady Rest Shady Rest) please don't go
Shady Rest Shady Rest) honey don't worry
(Shady Rest Shady Rest) nobody's gonna know
(Shady Rest Shady Rest)

EASY LOVIN' KIND

(Mel Street) « © '77 Levisa Music, BMI »
She's not just another pretty face
And the joy her love has brought me could never be replaced
I knew I loved her the first time she touched her lips to mine
She's a woman she's the easy lovin' kind

She don't claim to be an angel but she's heaven to me
And the door to paradise she opened so tenderly
She brought sunshine to my world just knowing that she's mine
She's a woman she's the easy lovin' kind
[ guitar + steel ] I never dreamed I'd find a love like this
But now my dream's reality with every tender kiss
I wake up smiling every morning just knowing that she's mine
She's a woman she's the easy lovin' kind
Yeah she's a woman she's the easy lovin' kind
