SHE WAKES ME WITH A KISS EVERY MORNING

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
How lucky I am to have searched for and found the beginning of the rest of my life
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night

Her goal for each day is to find some new way to please me and keep me satisfied
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
Her love is too strong to let me be wrong even when we both know I'm to blame
And when trouble and hard times're raining her love soaks up my share of the rain

Mhm she never complains and I've never seen distance in her baby blue eyes
She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night
Oh she wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night

SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled in my closet to my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I washed my face and combed my hair stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

Well I'd smoke my brain the night before
With cigarettes and songs that'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid coursin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I acrossed the empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to something that I've lost somehow somewhere along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalk wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a daddy with the laughing little girl he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the song that they were singing
Then I headed back for home somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On the Sunday morning sidewalk...

(I'M SO) AFRAID OF LOSING YOU AGAIN

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Sometimes I wanna throw my arms around you
And I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you
And I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you again
[ guitar - steel ] If heaven were to hear my heart's confession
Wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you...
Yes I'm so afraid of losing you again

FOR THE GOOD TIMES

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

I'll get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow...

BEFORE I FOUND THE WINE

(Jimmy Peppers) « © '71 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Yesterday I had a future and I was happy
I had your love and the whole wide world was mine
I had money to spend and a woman who called me darling
Oh that was before I found the wine

Cause before I found the wine my life had meaning
There were happy days at my house all the time
I remeber when you told me I hung the moon and made the sunhine
Yes that was before I found the wine
[ steel ] How I wish that I could go back to your world
Hold you close again and know that you are mine
And I wish that I could hear you say I love you
Just the way you did before I found the wine

Cause before I found the wine...

(Conway Twitty) « © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Hello darlin' nice to see you it's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be
How's your new love are you happy hope you're doing fine
Just to know this means so much to me
What's that darlin' how'm I doing guess I'm doing all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn

Let me hold you in my arms just one more time
Thank you darlin' may God bless you and may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find
Goodbye darlin' I gotta go now gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin' I'll be waiting for you

HALF THE LOVE

(Nat Stuckey) © 1971 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't care how long you've loved him makes no difference now he's gone
And I know your heart is broken from holding on too long
But I'll gladly take the pieces all I'm asking for is time
And half the love you gave him and I'll give you all of mine

Oh I'd love to see those pretty eyes see no one else but me
And hold you tightly in my arms know that's where you want to be
But with the storm not nearly over I won't ask the sun to shine
Just give me half a love you gave him and I'll give you all of mine
[ steel ] Oh how I'd love to see those pretty eyes see no one else but me
And hold you tightly in my arms know that's where you want to be
Even in your darkest hours all the world seems so unkind
Just give me half a love you gave him and I'll give you all of mine
Just give me half a love you gave him and I'll give you all of mine

SNUFF QUEEN

(Bill Eldridge - Gary Stewart) « © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm makin' the scene with a snuff queen I met at a bingo parlor
I dropped in to try to win what I could on a dollar and a quarter
And I left there with twenty dollars and a lover
Now me and that snuff queen are doin' our thing from one end of town to the other

The snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen
She's been featured on the back cover of a foreign magazine
She's feedin' me some bologney about matrimoney
Well glory be I can't see me bein' married to the snuff queen

Out of the clear blue sky she said I'd make a wife young and in my prime
I'm big enough to keep you warm in the winter and shade you in the summertime
And listen here big boy huh I don't eat much
Just a box of bay and chocolate covered cherries and a can of buttercup snuff

Well that snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen
She's been featured on the inside cover of a foreign magazine
And she feeds me bologney about matrimony
Well glory be I can't see me bein' married to the snuff queen
Now the snuff queen got to drinkin' some homemade tater booze
I turned up drunk she turned up in some high heel hush puppy shoes
She tried to make me her husband while my mind was in a mess
Well it's lucky for me that the snuff queen couldn't even pass the blood test
The snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen...

That woman's got a figure like a bicycle wreck Besides that she's ugly one eye looks at Dallas The other one looks at Forth Worth **********

STATUE OF A FOOL

(Jan Crutchfield) « © '62 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone
And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he's cried
And the hurt in his eyes would show so everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside
So build a statue and oh build it high so that all can see
Then inscribe the World's Greatest Fool and name it after me

DEVIL MADE ME DO THAT

(Jim Owen) « © '1971 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I stopped for a short one on my way home she stood about four foot ten
Somebody called mama on the telephone and mama came stompin' in
Headin' for the back gonna peel my head swingin' a baseball bat
I said honey it ain't my fault the devil made me do that

Oh the devil made me do that I swear he did
He just took control of me and made me flip my wig
Oh he snuck up behind me shoved me right through the door
The devil made me do that but it ain't a gonna happen no more

I got this friend named Harry he's nearly always gone
And I was accidentaly there the last time he came home
Well there he stood with a forty-five I said Harry don't get mad
Cause I ain't as guilty as I look the devil made me do that
[ steel ] Oh here I am laying in traction I've sure been treated rough
My liitle woman is dynamite I guess she had enough
Cause she broke arms she broke legs and I think she broke my back
As they led her away I heard her say the devil made me do that

Oh the devil made me do that I swear he did
He just took control of me made me flip my wig
Cause he snuck up behind me shoved me right through the door
The devil made me do that but it ain't a gonna happen no more
Oh the devil made me do that but it ain't a gonna happen no more
