ULTIMATELY FINE
(Sam Llanas - Kurt Neumann)
« © '86 Intersong USA, ASCAP »
I see you're walkin' and I hear you're talkin'
And when you're dancin' you leave all the boys behind
Hey whats your secret well I gotta know
Won't you tell me how you always steal the show
Ultimately fine the girl is ultimately fine
When it comes to making boys go crazy the girl is ultimately fine
High heels and lipstick dress is so tight
Shes got you turnin lip when ya want it to go right
And with those long legs she'll walk over you
Stay away boy if you can or ain't you heard the news
Ultimately fine...
[ dobro ]
She ain't built for comfort she's built for speed
She'll turn your head around and bring you to your knees
Don't try to pass her don't try to run
She'll chew and spit you out and oh it's just for fun
Ultimately fine...
When it comes to making boys go crazy the girl is ultimately fine
[ guitar ]
That girl is ultimately fine so ultimately fine
That girl is ultimately

CRIME OF PASSION
(Walt Aldridge - Mac McAnally)
« © '86 Colgems Music, ASCAP / Beginner Music, ASCAP »
She had a ragtop El Dorado tuck and roll pleat
She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the driver's seat
I said I got no money you know I got no job
She said I tell you what honey let's find a place to rob
Now the man at the station's name was Jim I saw it sewed on his shirt
I told him do what I say you'll live another day nobody's gotta get hurt
It was the crime of passion she took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
Crime of passion a beautiful woman and a desperate man
Well I thought the thing was over she was countin' the cash
When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash
She said officer won't you help me please I looked at her and she was pointin' at me
You see Jim at the station played the part and I talked a little perjury
He went to great pains to leave out her name
He was her future exhusband can't you see
It was the crime of passion...
Now the man at the station's name was Joe I saw it on the badge on his shirt
He said you'll never get away but do what we say nobody has to get hurt
It was the crime of passion...
Crime of passion...
It was the crime of passion It's just a crime of passion

LIFE TURNED HER THAT WAY
(Harlan Howard)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If she seems cold and bitter then I beg of you
Just stop and consider all she's gone through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Just remember life turned her that way
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but the last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her she cries harder today
So don't blame her life turned her that way
[ piano + fiddle ]
She's been walked on...
So don't blame her life turned her that way

I DON'T CARE (JUST AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME)
(Buck Owens)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well I don't care if the sun don't shine I don't care if the bells don't chime
Just as long as you love me
I don't care if the tops don't spin I don't care if the gins won't gin
Just as long as you love me
So darling let it rain let it snow let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me
North or south east or west you know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me
[ guitar ]
Well I don't care if the birds don't sing I don't care if the bells don't ring
Just as long as you love me
I don't care if the world don't turn I don't care if the fire don't burn
Just as long as you love me
So darling let it rain let it snow...
Oh darling just as long as you love me

DON'T WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT
(Roger Miller)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I left it all when she left I thought she'd come back again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then
She won't come home she says her love will never be mine again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then
Yes I wasn't so smart after all
I forgot that with love there are two ways to fall
I left it all when she left I thought she'd come back again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then
[ fiddle ]
Yes I wasn't so smart after all
I forgot that with love there are two ways to fall
She won't come home says her love will never be mine again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then

WILD EYED DREAM
(Alan Rhody)

Chattanooga down in Chattanooga
That's where I first met her I thought that I knew her
She turned my world around she turned a country boy upside down
But she turned out to be just another night time bird on the wing
She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream
Then over in Georgia east side of Georgia
That's how far I followed her she was gorgeous
She turned my world around...
Well how come everytime I go downtown to have a good time
Some little sweet thing comes along and leaves me the tab for my last dime
San Antone way down in San Antone I bought her a great big ring on a great big loan
She turned my world around...
[ dobro ]
I'm goin' home now goin' back to the farm now
Although I don't really know just when or how
She turned my world around...
She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream

SOMEBODY LIED
(Joe Chambers - Larry Jenkins)
« © '85 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Hello yeah this is me Lord it's been a long long time
I know this ain't no social call so go ahead get it off your mind
You heard what well it ain't true I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left could it be somebody lied
They said what that I was cryin' I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name well that's insane I've hardly noticed you're not here
I showed your picture to some stranger don't you think I've got no pride
They've been here at home face down on a shelf Lord I bet somebody lied
But if they were true what would it matter to you would it change the way you feel
If the rumors were right would you be here tonight to help this old heart heal
Well don't worry it wasn't me just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looks a lot like me and loves someone like you
Forget the tears I've never cried Lord I bet somebody lied

CRAZY OVER YOU
(Radney Foster - Bill Lloyd)
« © '86 Careers Music, BMI / BMG Songs, ASCAP »
Can't you tell by the spell that I'm under
This fella's wonderin' if you'll let me get next to you
Is there a chance of gettin' through
You never seem to notice me no matter what I do
And everybody in town knows I'm crazy over you
It's for sure there's no cure for your kissin'
Doctor says this is the last thing I'll ever do
My heart will break right in two
You never seem to notice me no matter what I do
And everybody in town knows I'm crazy over you
Everybody knows that I've been after you girl
Come on sweet baby let's give it a whirl
Give it up darlin' I'll make you all mine
And we can be together lovin' all the time
[ guitar ]
Can't you tell by the spell...
Well you turn your pretty head away I'm actin' like a fool
And everybody in town knows I'm crazy over you
[ guitar ]
Everybody in town knows I'm crazy over you

WORKIN' MAN BLUES
(Merle Haggard)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life
I'll keep on workin' long as these two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
I'll keep my nose to the grindstone work hard everyday
I might get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay
I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Sometimes I think about leavin' do a little bummin' around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
I go back workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
[ guitar ]
Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare that's one place I won't be
I'll be back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Well I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
