I'LL BE THERE (IF YOU EVER WANT ME)

(Ray Price - Rusty Gabbard) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

So love me if you ever gonna love me never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
[ guitar - steel ] There ain't no rope strong enough to bind me look for me honey you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charms
I'll be there ready and a watin' there won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms

So love me if you ever gonna love me...

WITH TEARS IN MY EYES

(Paul Howard) « © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
With tears in my eyes dear I beg you to stay
You wouldn't believe me so you went away
I made a mistake dear by telling you lies
Now I lay awake dear with tears in my eyes

No more to be sweethearts no more to be friends
Just give me a chance dear and I'll make commands
My yesterdays haunt me my weary heart cries
I just can't go on dear with tears in my eyes
[ ac.guitar ] If you ever need me oh please let me know
Wherever you leave me I'm willing to go
But past is a flower that withers and dies
I'll wake up tomorrow with tears in my eyes

With tears in my eyes dear...

RELEASE ME (AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN)

(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson) « © '54 Roschelle Publishing, BMI »
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold release me my darling let me go
[ guitar ] Oh please release me let me...

LAST GOODBYE

(Ernest Tubb - Sammy Farsmark) « © '66 Unichappell Music, BMI »
We had promised to be wed when we said goodbye that night
While the moon and stars were shining from the sky
For our hearts were full of joy and the future looked so bright
I never thought that we were sayin' our last goodbye

I was only leaving you for just a little while
To find a home where we'd be happy by and by
Then you kissed me with a smile and you said you'll wait for me
I never thought that we were sayin' our last goodbye

It was only one short year till I found a little place
And started back to you to hear your happy sigh
I was thinking only of the smile upon your face
I never thought that we had said our last goodbye
[ steel ] All the story that was told when I knocked upon your door
Broke my heart in two and how it made me cry
For that told me you had gone and didn't love me anymore
Then I knew that we had said our last goodbye

No one never can be told what the hand of fate will deal
And we do not know the pine that we will die
So don't never be too sure that your love is always real
You'll never know the sadness of our last goodbye

FORGIVE ME

(Wiley Walker - Gene Sullivan) « © '57 Peer International, BMI »
I left you and left you broken hearted I left you and now I can't forget
I thought then that I could live without you forgive me and I'll make you happy yet

Forgive me for all the pain I've caused you forgive me for unkind words I've said
I thought once that I could live without you I'm paying with the broken heart instead
[ guitar ] I wish I had never made you blue sweetheart I wish I could live it over now
I know now that I can't live without you forgive me and I'll make it up somehow

Forgive me for all the pain...

MOM AND DAD'S WALTZ

(Lefty Frizzell) « © '51 Peer International, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them I want them to know
How I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

In my heart joy tears start cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
[ ac.guitar ] I'd fight in wars do all the chores for my mama and daddy
I want them to live on till they're called
I'd work and slave and never rave to my mama and daddy
Cause I know I owe them my all

In my heart joy tears start...
Yes I want them to know I love them so

TOO MANY RIVERS

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
I wish I could come back to you dear
Cause I know that you want me to
But too much waters run under that old bridge
And there's too many rivers between me and you

There's too many rivers to cross dear and too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross
[ steel - ac.guitar ] Now don't think for a moment that I blame only you
For we both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

Lord there's too many rivers...

MY SHOES KEEP WALKING BACK TO YOU

(Bob Wills - Lee Ross) « © '56 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I may say that I don't care hold up head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the day is through my heartaches start anew
And that's when I miss you most of all

And my arms keep reaching for you my eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you and my shoes keep walking back to you
[ steel ] No matter how much I pretend I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do

And my arms keep reaching for you...
And my shoes keep walking back to you

LOST HIGHWAY

(Leon Payne) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm a rolling stone all alone and lost for a life of sin I have paid the cost
And when I pass by all the people say he's just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine and a woman's lies make a life like mine
On the day we met I went astray started rolling down that lost highway
[ steel - ac.guitar ] I was just a lad nearly twenty two neither good nor bad just a kid like you
But now I'm lost too late to pray and I'll pay the cost on the lost highway
Now boys don't start your rambling round on this road of sin or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day you started rolling down that lost highway

YOU'LL STILL BE IN MY HEART

(Buddy Starcher - Ted West) « © '65 Unichappell Music, BMI »
There was a time when you were mine and my heart knew no pain
But since that time sweetheart I find there's been an awful change
The love I knew has proved untrue and now we're far apart
No matter how you treat me now you'll still be in my heart
I understand your many plans I brought you wealth and pride
With all your gold when love is cold you'll be dis-satisfied
You were untrue because you knew I love you from the start
Though you'll find bliss in another's kiss you'll still be in my heart
[ guitar ] I can't erase the lovely face no matter how I try
When friends we knew just mention you I hang my head and cry
You turned me down because you found you play the leadin' part
Those lonely years I'll spend in tears you'll still be in my heart
My one request when I lay to rest the future has in store
On that sad day beneath the clay to sleep forever more
Should you be there in deep despair when burning teardrops start
Please don't forget I love you yet you'll still be in my heart

BORN TO LOSE

(Frankie Brown) « © '43 Peer International, BMI »
Born to lose I've lived my life in vain every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear how I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through born to lose and now I'm losing you
[ steel ] Born to lose my every hope is gone it's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew born to lose and now I'm losing you
There's no use to dream of happiness all I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you

HELLO TROUBLE (COME ON IN)

(Orville Couch - Eddie McDuff) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Woke up this morning happy as could be
Look out my window what did I see
Walkin' up my sidewalk just as plain as day
Here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see when you went away

Well hello trouble come on in
Talk about your heartaches where the world you've been
I ain't had the mis'ry since you've been gone
Hello trouble trouble trouble welcome home
[ guitar ] I'll make a pot of coffee let you rest your shoes
And you can tell me those sweet lies and I'd listen to you
Cause I'm just a little part of the life you've lived
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give

Well hello trouble come on in...
Hello trouble trouble trouble welcome home
