Stranger Things Have Happened

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

I keep talking to your picture
But a smile is all you say
It's a lonely conversation
But missing you is easier this way

Last night a shadow filled the doorway
And I heard footsteps on the stairs
Then I woke up this morning
And thought I saw you standing there

Stranger things have happened
And I'll always believe
If stranger things can happen
You could still come back to me

One touch is worth a thousand pictures
What might have been ain't worth a dime
I just hope someday I'll hold you
Another place some other time

Stranger things have happened...

If stranger things can happen
You could still come back to me
Stranger things have happened

Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurtin' Me)

Hank Cochran

© Pamper Music, BMI

You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long long while
Still I keep coming back how can this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long long while
Still I keep coming back how can this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

A Woman In Love

Curtis Wright - Douglas Millett

© Front Burner Music, ASCAP

No matter what you do or say
She's always got to have her way
She'll bring you down just to cheer you up
You never know with a woman in love

The minute you start holding on
You'll turn around and she'll be gone
This is very unpredictable stuff
You never know with a woman in love

She's a lady she's a child
She'll make you crazy she'll drive you wild
Do you give in or do you just give up
You never know with a woman in love
You never know with a woman in love

I oughta know cause I've held a few
I've seen the things that a woman can do
She'll play the game 'til you call her bluff
Oh You never know with a woman in love

Just when you think you've got it all together
If you blink she'll change just like the weather oh oh oh

No matter what you do or say
She's always got to have her way
This is very unpredictable stuff
You never know with a woman in love

She's a lady she's a child...

You never know with a woman in love
You never know with a woman oh oh woman in love

You Snap Your Fingers (And I'm Back In Your Hands)

John Schweers

© Chess Music, BMI

I cried a river washing your mem'ry away
And I finally made it least till you phoned me today
And I nearly hung up but teardrops destroyed my plan
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands

You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
Startin' all over right back where I've always been
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands

And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands

Staring Today

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

Starting today I'm gonna be a different man
I'll be doing everything I can to change the fool I've been
Starting today I'll be living every day for you
Every feeling will be like new starting today

I've learned what love is all about
By watching you love me
Your arms have turned my life around
Now I'm who I want to be

Starting today I'll be everything you need
Everything you've been for me all these years
Oh let me love away your tears starting today

Roll The Dice

Larry Boone - Paul Nelson

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

I was raised where the rivers run wild
I've been a man since I was a child
Born to the blues and bound to survive
I'm for living against the odds
Like my next chance is all I got
So go on and roll the dice

Go on and roll the dice
Never once have I ever thought twice
I just lay 'em down and let 'em ride
Go on and roll them bones
Aim for the stars and shoot for the moon
So go on and roll the dice

I lost my heart to a woman in red
I was under a spell that I ain't over yet
I played the fool and I paid the price
So I got nothing that would kill me to lose
I get high just by singing the blues
So go on and roll the dice

Go on and roll the dice...
[ instrumental ]
Go on and roll the dice...

Go on and roll the dice
Go on and roll the dice
Go on and roll the dice
Go on and roll the dice

I Feel Like I'm Cheating On You

Troy Seals - Eddie Setser

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Too much love too many nights together
I said back then I wish these times could last forever and baby they have
Cause right out of the blue your memory appears
And you might as well be standing here
When I'm with someone new I feel like I'm cheating on you

You'd think by now I wouldn't know how to start over
Once in awhile someone will lay their head on my shoulder
And we get closer I think I'm falling I think I'm free
Then it all falls apart cause it's not you and me
That's what I'm going through I feel like I'm cheating on you

How long will it take for my heart to break
Away from you and never look back again
I can't give you up cause I'm not strong enough
To forget about remembering when
Right out of the blue your memory appears
And you might as well be standing here
When I'm with somebody new I feel like I'm cheating on you

I Never Expected To See You

Don Schlitz - Ronnie Milsap

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

I never expected to see you
I figured you long since left town
I just came here to have a few beers
For a moment to turn time around

Back to the nights I spent with you
Back to the good times we shared
I never expected to see you
But I see you every where

So I sat here and wrote you this letter
And I thought of the things I would say
Are you and that man still together
And are you glad your life turned out this way

I've done my best to forget you
And prove to the world I don't care
I never expected to see you
But I see you everywhere

And your eyes are as blue as the day that you left
And your face hasn't changed with time
Your hair's still as long and your skin's still as soft
At least that's how it is in my mind

These are just words on paper
Pardon me if I stare
I never expected to see you
But I see see you every where

I never expected to see you
But I see you everywhere

Houston Solution

Don Schlitz - Paul Overstreet

© Scarlet Moon Music, BMI

I've got some friends down in Houston who know me quite well
They'll be more than happy to put me up for a spell
I can hang out or hide out whichever I choose
They won't ask me questions about why I've got the blues

I've got a Houston solution in mind
All it takes is a call on the telephone line
And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind
I've got a Houston solution in mind

Well, my Daddy once told me you can't run away
Your troubles will follow and find you some day
There's no need to argue cause he's probably right
But I've run out of options and I'm leaving tonight

I've got a Houston solution in mind...

I've got a Houston solution in mind
I've got a Houston solution

Southern Roots

Naomi Martin - Archie Jordan - Bob Galbraight

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

Now when living in the fast lane
Starts to get the best of me
You know it does me good just to go back home
Sit in the shades of a magnolia tree

Cause I've got deep southern roots
Yes I've got deep southern roots
You better believe her

Now I love those New York women
And I could live there for a while
But when it gets down to it I'll take a Carolina girl
And Sweet Home Alabama on my radio dial

Cause I've got deep southern roots
Yes I've got deep southern roots
And there ain't a thing that I can't do
Cause they're in my soul those deep down ol' southern roots

Now way down in Savannah
They say yes sir and yes ma'am
You know that's still true up in Louisville
Down in Baton Rouge and up in Birmingham

We all I've got deep southern roots
Yes we've got deep southern roots
And there ain't a thing that we can't do
Cause they're in our soul those deep down
Deep southern roots

Yes we've got deep southern roots
And there ain't a thing that we can't do
Cause they're in our soul those deep down
Deep southern roots
Yes we've got deep southern roots
I'm talking bout deep southern roots
