Another Day Another Dollar

Wynn Stewart

Another day another dollar
Daylight comes I'm on my way
Another day another dollar
Working my whole life away

The boss told me I'd get paid weakly
And that's exactly how I'm paid
Another day another dollar
Working my whole life away

Another day another dollar...
[ instrumental ]
My family is my thanksgivin'
I love 'em more and more each day
And they're the reason I keep livin'
And working my whole life away

Another day another dollar...

Lovin' Lies

Dorothy Chapman - Troy Martin - Pete Pyle

© Peer Int, BMI

I'll never understand dear as long as I live
I guess I will always wonder why
You told me that you loved me with all of your heart
And then without a warnin' said goodbye

Lovin' lies that I believed
And now how I grieved
You didn't mean it from the start
You told me lovin' lies and broke my heart
[ instrumental ]
You say I'll soon forget you and find somebody new
But darlin' oh how wrong you are
I've only had one love dear and that was for you
And from that love my heart will bear the scar

Lovin' lies that I believed...

I'm Gonna Feed You Now

Bob Morris

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well I finally got a job last Monday
I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday
And everything was gettin' hungry
But ev'rything's all right now

So gather round all you children
Gather round all you children
Gather round all you children
Cause I'm a gonna feed you now

Well my horses are gettin' skinny
I'd've fed 'em if I hadn't any
But I didn't even have a penny
But I'm a gonna feed 'em now

Cause I got a job last Monday...
[ instrumental ]
Well the hogs started to gruntin'
And the old dogs started huntin'
And boy that's really somethin'
And I'm a gonna feed 'em now

So gather round all you children...

Well the hens they all stopped layin'
And the baby chicks started to strayin'
And the old rooster's even a prayin'
But I'm a gonna feed 'em now

Cause I got a job last Monday...
So gather round all you children...

(All My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers

Liz Anderson

© Four Star Music, BMI

All the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once I turned my back and you were gone

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing in you now you are gone
[ instrumental ]
It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think I had a love that could be true
Well I should be taken out tired and feathered
To let myself be taken in by you

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers...

Tomorrow We'll Retire

Red Hayes

© Tree Pub, BMI

Dad's old faded trousers and mama's old friend dress
They're not much in the passions now they can't afford the best
I know they feel neglected and sometimes in the way
Because the last time I was home I heard my mama say

Well you kids have all got married off now and left us by ourselves
My we didn't know what lonesome was until the last one of you've left
You've all got families of your own now that all your friends did mar
And now that we've seen our dreams come true tomorrow we'll retire

We still have the old homeplace we paid it off last year
And we don't owe a soul a dime now everything is clear
So we'll just relive our younger days and sit here by the fire
And if we both live through the night tomorrow we'll retire

Why we've seen the rainstorms flood our fields and wash our crops away
And then the droughts would come to follow this and last for days and days
Why the point of me is work in the fields when that old sun was hot as fire
But that's all in the furthest past now tomorrow we'll retire

In health we've both been lucky but now we're gettin' kinda gray
Our pension starts tomorrow it's just enough to pay our way
And we've lived to see you kids grow up and that's been our heart's desire
And if the world would end tonight tomorrow we'll retire
So tomorrow we'll retire

Sorrow On The Rocks

Tony Moon

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Just pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender
Sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double mhm mhm mhm

The seat of my pants is slick from my barstool
And my hand's in the shape of a glass
My eyes look like a roadmap of Georgia
And it's a shame I've lost my class
One broken heart can do strange things
To a fellow who can't take pain
But in this hundred proof condition I'm in
No position to take her back again

So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...

Looks like the hair on my head ain't never met a comb
And my face is a bearded mess
My hand shakes slightly and I have to walk lightly
Or I'll weave from right to left
The music on the jukebox don't mean a thing
Cause I'm too far gone for a song
I sure feel bad cause my baby ain't here
And I'm sorry that I done her wrong

So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...
So pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender...

My Baby Turns The Lights On Uptown

Joyce Allsup

© Warden Music, BMI

She has always turned the lights on for me
But she turns them on for so many others too
Yes my arms lose her each night at sundown
Cause my baby turns the lights on uptown

I keep fighting for a love that I can't win
Cause she'd rather have her nightlife and her friends
By the time I get home she's not around
Cause my baby turns the lights on uptown

I don't know why I love her but I do
Cause now the lights she turns on for me are blue
I wonder what my baby has found
When she goes to turn the lights on uptown

Now the parties never start until she's there
I know I'm a fool but I don't care
She doesn't care how it looks or how it sounds
Cause she's got to turn the lights on uptown

I don't know why I love her but I do...

Bride's Bouquet

Clarke VanNess

© Starday Music, BMI

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet

I went to a wedding one bright summer day
The bright was a beauty the people were gay
Alone in a corner I stood till it end
For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend

The service was over and beside the church's door
I picked up the rose that fell on the floor
I baited with teardrops then pled away
My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet

It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet
Once filled with love's perfume now faded away
Like the love that I gave her she threw it away
My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet
[ instrumental ]
It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet...

Dim Lights Thick Smoke (And Loud Loud Music)

Joe Maphis - Max Fidler - Rose Lee Maphis

© Comet Music, BMI

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man

A home and little children mean nothin' to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music...
[ instrumental ]
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music...

I Couldn't Care Less

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I couldn't care less couldn't care less
That's what I say when they ask me about you
Try to hold on too proud but they know I lie
When I say I couldn't care less for you

There was a time when in your heart you loved me
I knew it anyone could plainly see
But someone new came by that you love better
Just can admit I'm left with memories

I couldn't care less couldn't care less...

Memories From The Past

George McCormick - Charles McCormick

© Euclid Pub, BMI

I'm sitting at the table where we used to sit
Thinkin' of love I knew would never last
Thought I heard the band start playin' our favorite song
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

I'm all alone tonight seein' visions of you
I wish I knew how long this pain will last
I know I'll soon be leavin' and I hope I will forget
All these lonely lonely mem'ries from the past
[ instrumental ]
The dance floor now is empty as I sit here all alone
And the time seems to go so very fast
I thought I heard you whisper I love you oh so much
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

So I'm all alone tonight seeing visions of you...
