Just Want To Taste Your Wine

Bobby Emmons

© Youngun Pub, BMI

You're up in arms when our eyes meet you look the other way
And this got to get to know your feeling gets stronger every day
You're all involved with another you can't be mine
But I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine

So put a little sip aside for me cause my cup is runnin' over for you
I don't know what it is he's got but I can give you something to compare it to
And if I lose to your first love he won't have to know we tried
Cause I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine
[ instrumental ]
You're doin' fine you're intended you took that diamond ring
But I don't see that sparkle in your eye honey that real love brings
So look around fore you say those vows you're talkin' bout a mighty long time
And I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine

So put a little sip aside for me cause my cup is runnin' over for you
I don't know what it is he's got but I can give you something to compare it to
And if I lose to your first love he won't have to know we tried
Cause I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your sweet sweet sweet
Just wanna taste your wine

Miss Misery

Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

I stumbled at your feet I knew someday someway we'd meet
I knew it was do or die when I looked into your pretty eyes
Your lips were like that of wine you see you taste its divine
But the after effects will tell you that that wine didn't do you well at all

Miss Misery please please pity me
Let me go show a little misery
Now I'm a fool so please please leave me
Miss Misery
[ sax ]
You haven't beat me with no whip yet
Ah but I know that I've been licked
You got my thinking so confused about things
It's all backwards now I can't explain

To you Miss Misery please pity me...

Dennis Linde - Billy Swan

I got it for you it's somethin' you haven't had yet
Oh it's just for you and it's love you won't forget

I hope you're lookin' cause it's ready
Hope you're wantin' somethin' steady
Cause my head is in the right place
But my heart won't be in its rightful place without you
And I got it for you

And I hope it means some to you baby
Oh it's just for you
If you'll take it it'll drive me crazy

I hope you're lookin' cause it's ready...

I hope you want to get me cause I want to get you desperately
Hug you wanna kiss you give you everything that's comin' to me
Wanna take it from me

Number One

Billy Swan - Marlu Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

You were conceived at the right time
Everything about you blows my mind
Thought I'd been in love before now
But I just got my foot in that door now

There's never been anyone like you for me
All the rest have been two's and three's
Darling from now on and on and on
You're gonna be Number one

Number one in my book and now in my life
Number one and you're still by my side
Number one is ways I've never known no
Before the Number one someone I love so
[ instrumental ]
Since you've come along life's been a joy
That's a turn around for this old boy
Yes over me and next to none
You gotta be the Number one

Over me and next to none
You gotta be the Number one

Oh Vanessa I learned my lesson
And I quit that messin' around so won't you come back to me

I call you on the phone it just rings rings rings

But they just sympathize with all of the guys
Our friends say they see you and you're not doing bad
That makes me wanna go home and cry cry cry

Dave Bartholomew - Pearl King

© Travis Music, BMI

You went away and left me a long time ago
And now you're comin' back knockin' on my door
I can hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I can hear you knockin' go back where you've been

I begged you not to go still you said goodbye
And now you're comin' back you're feedin' me your lies
I can hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I can hear you knockin' go back where you've been
[ instrumental ]
You wouldn't listen a long time ago
You wouldn't be back here knockin' on my door
I can hear you knockin' but you can't come in
Yeah I can hear you knockin' go back where you've been

I can hear you knockin' no you can't come in
Yes I can hear you knockin' go back where you've been

Lucky

Dennis Linde - Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

Lucky me I've got my rock and you know I've got my roll
And I've got my sweet sweet music and the rhythm in my soul
Lucky me my poor poor head it can see right through the pain
Doesn't mean the pain ain't there but I'm happy just the same
Am I lucky am I lucky son of a gun

Feelin' mighty good this mornin' as I walk out on the street
Let the city music move me with its pumpin' steady beat
Sunny sun goes sailin' up in the downtown city sky
A smilin' down upon the face of a mighty lucky guy
Am I lucky I'm a lucky son of a gun

And the world is ringin' and the children are singin'
And the clouds keep flowin' and love keeps growin' up

Lots of folks can only see all the anger and the sin
And they sit there moanin' moanin' moanin' like the wind
Now I've been there I've been there and I ain't goin' back again
Let 'em think what they will think cause I'm happy here my friend
Am I lucky I'm a lucky son of a gun
Am I lucky yes I'm a lucky

I like coffee and I like tea
I like whatever it is you're doing to me
I got to tell you from the microphone
Love you baby to the bone

Your love thrills me through and through
Oh it does and how it do
Got to tell you from the microphone

It's almost religious the words that they give us to say
Funny but it feels real huh

Go out walkin' on a country night
And listen to the wind fall see the myst'ry light
You and me hon it must not go wrong
Cause I love you baby to the bone
So love me baby to the bone

Lover please please come back
Don't take the train comin' down the track
Don't please don't don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery

You wouldn't ever hold me so near
You wouldn't ever call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone that's what I'll do

Lover please please come back...

About a love that went all wrong
The girl left the boy oh so bad
Now he's gone and she's so sad

So lover please please come back...
