FORGIVE ME FOR CALLING YOU DARLING

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Forgive me for calling you darling
But I can't stop myself from loving you

Yesterday I slipped and called you darling
And I saw him look at you and wonder why
If I've caused one drop of rain to fall on your new dream
It's because I just forgot that you're not mine

Forgive me for calling you darling
I'm sorry for the things I say and do
Forgive me for calling you darling
But I can't stop myself from loving you
[ steel ] Forgive me for calling you darling...
I can't stop myself from loving you

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

(John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert) « © '71 Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Music Of 1091, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather round her miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home...

I hear her voice in the mornin' as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feeling that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday

Country roads take me home...
Country roads take me home...

EASY LOVIN'

(Freddie Hart) « © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart
Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'
To count all my blessings I wouldn't know where to start

Everytime I look you over so real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders there's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin' seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream

Everytime I look you over...
Easy lovin'

HERE I GO AGAIN

(Ted Harris) « © '71 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Here I go again missing you yes here I go again feeling blue
You're gone and still my crazy heart keeps right on bein' true
Yes here I go again missing you

I woke up this morning and drew an old familiar line
Said this is it today's the day I get you off my mind
But all my good intentions couldn't keep these tears inside
Now I'm right back in that same old boat to take that same old ride

And here I go again missing you...
Yes here I go again missing you

I'M GONNA ACT RIGHT

(Mel Tillis) « © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I'm gonna quit rambling gambling stayin' out late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong and I'm gonna act right

Today I got a letter from my wife and her lawyer friend
It said they know everything I've been doing
And they know every place that I've been
They even had a bunch of pictures of me on a dance hall floor
Then it went on to say if I didn't act right
They could dig up a little bit more

I'm gonna quit rambling...
[ steel ] I turned the page right nervously and I slowly took a peek
The money that they had me for I'd have to work a ten day week
Well it ain't that I'm a coward I've always been pretty tough
But honey you know I still love you how come you want to play so rough

I'm gonna quit rambling...
I'm gonna quit rambling...

DON'T PAY THE RANSOM

(Dalton Roberts - Jack Shoemake) « © '72 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Last night I stopped off for a beer on my way home
And I saw this broken hearted sweet thing cryin' all alone
My tender heart was deeply touched at the sight of a woman's tears
So I said hi there and I pulled up a chair and ordered us a couple of beers

We must have drunk a gallon of brew
When I looked at my watch it was half past two
And I suddenly realized I hadn't even called my wife
And knowin' what would happen to me when I get home
I nearly broke my neck gettin' to the phone
And here's what I told her in an effort to save my life

Don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped
Considering what I've been through I'm in good shape
Well my wrist and ankles are a little sore from the tape
But don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped
[ guitar - steel ] Now if you got tied up somewhere tonight on your way home
In a poker game or with a pretty dame and it slips your mind to phone
Don't blow your cool like a crazy fool and tell your woman where you've been
Your situation requires imagination and I've got a suggestion my friend

Tell her now don't pay the ransom ...
No don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE (SOMOS NOVIOS)

(Sid Wayne - A. Manzanero) « © '68 Golden Sands Enterprises, ASCAP »
(Impossible impossible)
It's impossible tell the sun to leave the sky it's impossible
It's impossible ask a baby not to cry it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you going through me
Split the second that I never think of you oh how impossible

Can the ocean keeps from rushing to the shore it's just impossible
If I have you could I ever want for more it's just impossible
And tomorrow should you ask me for the world somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love is just impossible (impossible impossible)

And tomorrow should you ask me...

SWEET MERCY BROWN

(Jim Owen) « © '72 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Her daddy was a Louisiana banker her mama taught Sunday School
They wanted her to be a lady and learn all the social rules
Sweet Mercy Brown sweet Mercy Brown
She was born rich refined and sweet
And she became a stripper on Burbon Street
Sweet Mercy Brown

Now Mercy don't dance for the money Mercy ain't searchin' for fame
She just likes to make tempratures rise Mercy's just doin' her thing
Sweet Mercy Brown sweet Mercy Brown
She's a millionaire she dances for fun
Tryin' to bring pleasure to everyone
Sweet Mercy Brown mercy mercy
Sweet Mercy Brown oh mercy mercy sweet Mercy Brown

Now mama don't talk much about her she just acts like she don't know
But everytime Mercy wiggles on stage papa's sittin' on the front row
They dig Mercy Brown Sweet Mercy Brown
Mama would never believe it's true
But papa used to be a little swinger too
Sweet Mercy Brown

Well if you're ever down in New Orleans and you want to see yourself a town
Find a club with a Cadallic parked in back and you'll see Mercy Brown
Sweet Mercy Brown sweet Mercy Brown
I can guarantee it will blow your mind
To see a millionaire do the bump and grind
Sweet Mercy Brown mercy mercy sweet Mercy Brown
Oh mercy mercy sweet Mercy brown

NEVER ENDING SONG OF LOVE

(Delaney Bramlett) « © '71 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I've got a never ending love for you from now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew I'd have a never ending love for you
I've got a never ending love for you from now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew I'd sing my never ending song of love to you

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another feel for each other from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it
Never ending love for you from now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew I'd sing my never ending song of love to you
[ steel - harmonica ] After all this time of being alone...

LOOKIN' FOR A WAY

(Jimmy Peppers) « © '72 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I keep lookin' for a way to tell you I don't love you anymore
But I think it's best we go our seperate ways just walk out the door
But I hesitate and wait till I change my mind again then it's too late
I keep lookin' for the words to best explain the way I feel
I know you will agree with me this feeling that we have's not real
But you look at me and cry Lord I hate to say goodbye so I keep lookin' for a way

For there's so much love between our hearts
Maybe we can find the way to start lovin' again
Maybe there's a piece of love
That somewhere in the shadows and we could make it live again
So now I'm lookin' for a way to bring back our all yesterdays
And the sunshine in our lives when everything for you and me was right
And you look at me and smile make my affort seem worthwhile
So I'm lookin' for a way
[ guitar ] Oh there's so much love between our hearts...
