GUILTY STREET
(Cecil Null)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Tonight I lost my way and I found Guilty Street
I saw faces there I never dreamed I'd see
I saw the one I love but he did not see me
While the guilty were laughin' I was standin' there cryin'
Alone on Guilty Street
The lust and sin fill the night on Guilty Street where I cry
Guilty Street is the place where happiness died on my face
Tonight he'll hold me close and tell me I'm so sweet
But I know what his mind's on and tomorrow he'll be
Gone back to Guilty Street
[ steel ]
The lust and sin fill the night on Guilty Street where I cry...

SHAPE UP OR GET OUT
(Jim Anglin)

Playboy Charlie where'd you stay last night
Came home this mornin' sun was shinin' bright
Blood shot eyes and mouth full of lies I'm fed up with your alibis
You know and I know you don't treat me right
I married you for love and all we do is fuss and fight
I'm no dumb dumb I know what it's about
You better shape up or you're gonna get out
[ steel ]
You stay out from midnight till dawn
It doesn't hurt you cause I'm home alone
If you love me you wouldn't do me this way
This is a game daddy two can play
You know and I know you don't treat me right...
[ steel ]
You know and I know you don't treat me right...

HAPPINESS HILL
(Roy Botkin)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I found a place called Happiness Hill
Where the songbirds sing and there's an ol' whippoorwill
Come take my hand and tell me you will
Come go with me up Happiness Hill
Come go with me to a place that I know
Where the dogwood bloom and the wild roses grow
To a place that I found where it's peaceful and still
Come go with me up Happiness Hill
[ guitar ]
Come go with me to a place that I know...

YOU'RE NO ANGEL YOURSELF
(Jim Anglin)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your jealous heart I can't understand
You get mad if I look at another man
No faith in your love no respect for mine
Making things up in your selfrighteous mind
You're no angel yourself why pretend to be
You may fool others but you can't fool me
Take away false pride what have you got left
Climb off your high horse you're no angel yourself
[ steel ]
When we took the vows that made us one
Our love was sweet and life was fun
Sure I made mistakes before I met you
But ask yourself didn't you make them too
You're no angel yourself why pretend to be...

WE COULD
(Felice Bryant)
« © '55 House Of Bryant, BMI »
If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could we could you and I
If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could we could you and I
When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
To thank the Lord cause all is right
We could we could you and I
[ steel ]
(We could we could you and I)
[ steel ]
(We could we could you and I)
When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there...

DADDY SANG BASS
(Carl Perkins)
« © '68 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / House Of Cash, BMI »
I remember poor ol' dad times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky Lord in the sky
[ guitar ]
Npw I remember after work mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)...
In the sky Lord in the sky

I'VE GOT YOU ON MY MIND AGAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've got you on my mind again
You've been there since I don't know when
I said that I'd forget that I'd never look back
That I'd find somebody else a little further down the track
But that same old hurt is back once more
It's hurt since you walked out the door
And as the long day ends and the lonely night begins
I've got you on my mind again
Well I said that you'd be out of mind when you got out of sight
That there'll never be one lonely moment or one sleepless night
But lately I've been findin' out just what a heartache means
For ev'ry time I close my eyes I see you in my dreams
And I've got you on my mind again...
I've got you on my mind again

BORN TO BE WITH YOU
(Don Robertson)
« © '62 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
By your side satisfied through and through
Cause I was born to be with you
Wonderously love can see so I knew
That I was born to be with you
[ guitar ]
Do I find peace of mind yes I do
Cause I was born to be with you
All life through yes I was born to be with you
(Born to be with you)

I WALK ALONE
(Herbert W. Wilson)
« © '43 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I walk alone where once we wandered
It seems so strange since you are gone
No matter where you are out yonder
I'll still be true and walk alone
By stars above I swear to love you
With all the love I've ever known
Till you return I'll stay the same dear
I'll still be true and walk alone
[ steel ]
The flame of love is brightly burning
You know that I'm your very own
While we're apart you always own me
When teardrops start I walk alone

STAND BY YOUR MAN
(Billy Sherrill - Tammy Wynette)
« © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can stand by your man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to...

ONLY THE LONELY (KNOW THE WAY I FEEL)
(Roy Orbison - Joe Melson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Barbara Orbison Music, BMI / Roy Orbison Music, BMI »
Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely know this feeling ain't right
There goes my baby there goes my heart
They've gone forever so far apart
And only the lonely know why I cry
Only the lonely
[ piano ]
Only the lonely know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow a new romance no more sorrow but that's the chance
You've got to take if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely only the lonely
