WISH I WAS IN NASHVILLE

(Bob McDill) « © '72 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I went to see my honey dew she lived just down the way
I got stuck and my truck broke up and I only got halfway
Sittin' here on a muddy road stuck here all alone
The rain won't stop it's beatin' on the top and I should've stayed at home

I wish I was in Nashville a guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac oh
[ fiddle ] Must have been a half a day fore I got back home
The road's all mud the creek's gonna flood and I'm still here alone
Sure feel good a getin' back to my old shack again
But I'm all soaked my radio's broke and the rain keeps pouring in

I wish I was in Nashville...
[ ac.guitar - banjo ] I wish I was in Nashville...
[ fiddle ] **********

YOUR SWEET LOVE

(Don Williams) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
There are those to tempt me if I let them
There are times it gets so hard for me
Don't ever make me feel you've left me within
Don't ever make me feel you're not with me
Your sweet love I've pleased of you're sweet love lovin' me
[ steel ] Sometimes other ways keep callin' to me and I don't mean to say I'm not strong
But old strenght fire is what you give me you're the one I've waited all alone
Your sweet love I've pleased of you're sweet love lovin' me
Your sweet love I've pleased of you're sweet love lovin' me

SHE'S IN LOVE WITH A RODEO MAN

(Bob McDill) « © '73 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
She's a barmate in a west Texas dancehall she's there every night till they close
The cowboys pay for the jukebox and she plays San Antonio Rose

Well I know her life ain't been easy Lord the lines in her face say it all
But she still is a beautiful woman in the lights of the Texas dancehall

But she won't sit down at your table and I know that you can't hold her hand
She won't go home with you cowboy she's in love with a rodeo man
[ steel ] He's hard and his scars are grey and he's stone most all of the time
And he drinks at the dark cornered table and he he waits there until closing time

So she won't sit down at your table...
She won't sit down at your table...

ATTA WAY TO GO

(Don Williams) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Atta way to go you fin'ly broke it off atta way to go we can't even talk
Or cry or even wonder why atta way to go

Didn't you believe me when I loved you I guess you though that we were playing games
All this time I try to think I've known you I guess I really only knew your name

Atta way to go...

I thought you knew I live my life just for you there was just no price to be to pay
And even though I know I still live for you the feelin's that you're showin' let me stay

Atta way to go...

WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER

(Allen Reynolds) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I think about you when I don't want to dream about your smiling face
I keep trying not to love you but I love you any way

We should be together together we should be walking side by side
We should be together together keepin' each other satisfied

I have talked to come to know you I've come to need your company
What will I do if I can't have you if I can't have you what will I do

We should be together...
[ piano ] We should be together...

LOVING YOU SO LONG NOW

(Allen Reynolds) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I've been loving you so long now what I'd give if I could see you once again
Just to throw my arms around you and live those happy times again

Lovely lady it seemed so right when I held you all through the night
I could see me forever loving you I never thought of losing you

Cause I've been loving you so long now...
[ guitar - steel ] Hungry lovers we used to cling so tight whisper softly all through the night
And I remember so many loving days I can't believe they slipped away

Cause I've been loving you so long now...
I've been loving you so long now...

OH MISERY

(Don Williams) « © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Oh misery coming down all over me oh can't you see you're the one that I need
You don't seem to notice the way I feel you don't seem to understand my love is real
You don't seem to care at all how hard I try and I do try Lord knows I try
Oh misery coming down all over me oh can't you see you're the one that I need
[ dobro ] If you'd stop to listen I know you'd hear if you'd stop to look you'd see me near
But you don't seem to care at all when I could cry I don't know why can't let life
Oh misery coming down all over me oh can't you see you're the one that I need

MILLER'S CAVE

(Jack Clement) « © '60 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Way down in the state of Georgia through the swamps and the everglades
There's a big ole hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave
I had a girl in way cross Georgia but she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel like I was unwanted like the birds and the bears in Miller's Cave
[ steel ] I caught her out one Sunday morning with the man they call Big Dave
He's the meanest man in state of Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
[ steel ] I said you'll pay both you and Davy I'm gonna see you in your graves
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin' skin and bones in Miller's Cave
That woman made me feel unwanted but I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
They'll never find me cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave
[ steel ] **********

I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER NO MORE (THE POISON RED BERRIES)

(Mickey Newbury) « © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I don't think much bout her anymore seldom if ever does she cross my mind
Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten like the poison red berries to die on the vine
This mornin' at dawn I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine
Laughin' at all the good times they remember then I remembered the time
[ strings ] Lord I can still see bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her and you know it took such a long time
But I don't think much about her no more seldom if ever does she ever cross my mind
Yesterday's gone Lord it's better forgotten
Like a poison red berry that clings to the mind

DOWN THE ROAD I GO

(Don Williams) « © '73 Edmark Music, BMI / Regent Music, BMI »
I guess there's not much I can do or say saw my baby with another guy today
Though I love her and I tried to tell her so it's hello blues and down the road I go

Well I've never seen that guy before today he held my baby in the closest way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know it's hello blues and down the road I go

Well it seems our thoughts were much alike our likes were much the same
We even had our future plan till into town he came

Well I've never seen that guy before today...
[ fiddle ] Well it seems our thoughts were much alike...
