MY BIG TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN

(Hank Mills) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm just a waitress at this truck stop
I keep the jukebox playing and the coffee hot
Temptation's ev'rywhere but I must stand
I'm in love with my big truck drivin' man

I keep lookin' out the window he's on my mind
He's been gone almost a week this time
I can't wait till he walks through that door again
Oh how I miss my big truck drivin' man

I'll ask him if he feels the way I do
I can almost hear him saying I love you
We'll walk to the jukebox hand in hand
And he'll kiss me my big truck drivin' man
[ guitar ] I call him the truckstop pinball king
Cause he knows how to beat that ol' machine
He's savin' money to buy me a wedding band
Oh how I love my big truck drivin' man

I'll ask him if he feels...
And he'll kiss me my big truck drivin' man

IF MY HEART HAD WINDOWS

(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

A tear may appear when I hold you near
But that's for the sweet things you do
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

By your side I will stay till we're old and gray
Reminiscing young moments we knew
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
[ piano ] A thief couldn't steal the love that I feel
Heaven for me has come true
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

THIS WORLD HOLDS NOTHING (SINCE YOU'RE GONE)

(Jack S. Schneider - Claude Southall) « © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I don't like the sunshine I don't see the stars
I just hate the moonbeams that's shining where you are
I don't like the places where we walked arm in arm
This world holds nothin' since you're gone

I don't see the robin nor hear the bluebird sing
The winter could be summer and autumn might be spring
I don't know or care for friends we've known so long
This world holds nothin' since you're gone

I know I'm bound to meet you upon the street some day
And you'll be with your new love and I'll have to turn away
Oh how I dread that moment cause I can't stand the pain
To see two hearts just passing that will never love again

I don't like the sunshine I don't see the stars...
This world holds nothin' since you're gone

YOU WANT HER NOT ME

(Jim Anglin) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your touch tells me all I need to know
I lost you it hurt to see you go
Yes I'm unhappy but at least my heart's free
I'm no fool you want her not me

You want her not me the truth I know
Though you're not man enough to tell me so
Our love's nothing more than a memory
Since I found out you want her not me
[ steel ] I knew something was wrong your kisses grew cold
When you found new love my love was old
Oh you stare into space your eyes don't see
The whole town knows you want her not me

You want her not me the truth I know...

WHAT LOCKS THE DOOR

(Vic McAlpin) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You can't relive your past with a dream that's gone
You can't find love that will last in your world alone
A hurt so tall has built a wall where faith begins
What locks the door to the world you're living in

What locks the door to the world you're living in
What kind of key do I need to get in
I'd tried anything solid gold to sin
What locks the door to the world you're living in
[ steel ] Somehow someday I'll find a way to warm your heart
And take anyway this thing that's keeping us apart
I need you now but even more I'll need you then
What locks the door to the world you're living in

What locks the door to the world you're living in...

TRUCK DRIVER'S SWEETHEART

(Jim Anglin) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Here at the truck stop earning my pay
Waiting on truck drivers both night and day
I can't complain they treat me fine
Meet them by the thousands the pleasure's all mine

Truck driver's sweetheart I'm proud of the name
Being their friend that's my claim to fame
Cheering them up when their spirit is low
Quarter for the jukebox coffee for the road
[ steel ] Truck drivers ev'rywhere some stand out to me
Like Bill from Chicago Al from Tennessee
Gary of Charlotte from Cleveland handsome Ted
Jack's home is Kansas City and there's Fresno Red

Truck driver's sweetheart I'm proud of the name...
Quarter for the jukebox and coffee for the road

HANGIN' ON

(Ira Allen - Buddy Mize) « © '67 ATV Songs, BMI »
It's true you have me twisted around your finger
It seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me to thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on

My heart is like a yo-yo on a string I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growin' cause your love keeps a showin'
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on

A love that's strong as mine will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams
You've got me where you want me you keep stringin' me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on

BURNING A HOLE IN MY MIND

(Cy Coben) « © '67 Delmore Music, ASCAP »
Though it happened long ago the hurt just won't let go
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I see her and I see you and the things we used to do
And it's burning a hole in my mind

I said I'd forget and I tried
But my heart tells my tongue that it lied
Though I've tried to forgive ev'ry moment I live
Is a torture the devil designed
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind

(Though it happened long ago the hurt just won't let go
It's a torture the devil designed) In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind it's burning a hole in my mind

CHOKIN' KIND

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart and now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death man it's the chokin' kind

You can kill a girl with bullets poison or a knife
But it hurts her more to take her pride and run her life
Whatever it is you want man I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again man take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind
Let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind

I DON'T WANNA PLAY HOUSE

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton) « © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today

So I went outside to see what they were doin'
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him

I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye

I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun...

KISSES ON OCCASION

(Bill Phillips - Paul Yandell) « © '67 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Kisses on occasion kind words are very few
You don't know I'm living you live just for you
I spend ev'ry hour each day doing things you want me to
Kisses on occasion are all I get from you

You tell me you don't have the time so I just walk the floor
And wonder why you don't take time for my love anymore
To you I just don't matter and it's tearing out my heart
Kisses on occasion are driving us apart
[ piano - steel ] You tell me you don't have the time so I just walk the floor...
