WORKING GIRL

(Wes Buchanan) « © '67 Buckles Music, BMI »
Working girl working girl I love you
Working girl I love the things that you do
Mhm I don't know what I would do if you should up and leave
Just sit and grieve sit and grieve working girl

Working girl you've got money all of the time
Working girl pay my rent and treat me fine
Ah I don't know if I could take it if she should up and go
I love you so I love you so working girl
[ guitar ] Give me money when I'm down working girl
She takes me out on the town working girl
Each time I think it's over she makes me see she loves just me
Only me working girl

Buy me rings expensive things working girl
Cowboy boots swinging pools working girl
Shany car credit cards and that ain't all when I'm with you
I walk real proud I walk real tall
Working girl working girl I love you
Working girl I love the things that you do

BUT I DROPPED IT

(Harlan Howard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
It didn't lay there very long I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket

All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough I wasn't bear enough and she got lonely

I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
And good things don't just lay around neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket

THINGS HAVE GONE TO PIECES

(Leon Payne) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh the faucet started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said sorry I can't use you anymore
And just then the light bulb went out in the hall

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream
Things have gone to pieces...

WALK ME TO THE DOOR

(Conway Twitty) « © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
That's why I'm asking one last favor walk me to the door

I love another won't you let me be
These are the words that you said to me
How can I go through life without you like it was before
When I can even make it to the door
Walk me to the door...
[ steel ] I promise I won't try to make commands
I know I don't deserve you back again
My trembling lips are begging now they never did before
Just one last favor walk me to the door
Walk me to the door...

TWO OF THE USUAL

(Fred Carter) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
We had just set our wedding day and I took you home
And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone
Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see
You enter with someone a stranger to me

Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams

My body was trembling down to my fingertips
With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips
I sat there in darkness alone and afraid
And my world turned to pieces at the order he gave
Two of the usual...

LIFE TURNED HER THAT WAY

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If she seems cold and bitter I beg of you
Stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Oh don't blame her life turned her that way

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her she cries harder today
Oh don't blame her life turned her that way
[ piano ] She's been walked on...
Oh don't blame her life turned her that way

GO WOMAN GO

(Mickey Jaco) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Go woman go go woman go
There you stand to tellin' me you're gettin' tired of me
You're sayin' that I've changed up not the way I used to be
Well there's some things I wanna say I think you ought to know
And then I think I'm gonna let you go woman go
[ dobro ] I stood by and watched you as you tore my honor down
I even bought the clothes you wore to go out on the town
I thought you'd have your fling and settle down but now I know
That all you ever wanted was to go woman go
[ dobro ] Now there you stand to tellin' me you're walkin' out the door
You're sayin' that you've had it that you can't stand me no more
You're thinking that I'll take you back the way I did before
But not this time I've set your free to go woman go
Woman go woman go woman go woman go

DON'T PUT YOUR HURT IN MY HEART

(Mickey Jaco) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Don't put your hurt in my heart
Stop what you're planning before you start
Yes I loved you once it's true but now I'm over you
Don't put your hurt in my heart

Don't put your burning in my eyes
Cause the burning only stops when I cry
Once my teardrops fell like rain washed away the burning flame
And it washed all your hurt from my heart

Don't put your sorry in my mind
Cause it's useless and you're only wasting time
I got over you before I can't chance it anymore
Don't put your hurt in my heart don't put your hurt in my heart

WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME

(Sandy Seamons - Kaye Savage) « © '66 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long long time

And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
[ steel ] Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
And now that I found you...

I THREW AWAY THE ROSE

(Merle Haggard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
a victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[ steel ] I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social friends slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
But now I'm paying for...
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

WOUND TIME CAN'T ERASE

(Bill D. Johnson) « © '57 Harbor Hills Music, BMI »
Have you found since you turned me down
The one that you were searching for
Are you glad since you made me sad
For you know I vowed to love you ever more

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase
[ steel ] Tell me dear are you satisfied To be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want or the things you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see
What did you have in mind...
