One More Drink

Jim Owen

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

See that house across the street from this barroom bottle
The people who live in it I love so
So I come here every night and I pray that I'll see them
Think I'll have one more drink and then I'll go

There's the lights in her bedroom tonight bottle
Just like me she's lonely I know
Just to hold her in my arms posses all her charms
Think I'll have one more drink and then I'll go
[ instrumental ]
Yes my children are already sleeping bottle
And how much I miss them they'll never know
But the judge won't let me see them
That they think that I don't love them
Think I'll have one more drink and then I'll go

Oh she blames all our troubles on you bottle
But anyone can see that isn't so
I can take you or leave you heaven knows that I don't need you
Think I'll have one more drink and then I'll go
Think I'll have one more drink and then I'll go

Too Lonely Too Long

Jim Owen

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Go on look down your righteous nose at me
But you've made me everything that I've turned out to be
In very few words I can tell you where everything went wrong
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

Two arms that almost died from loneliness
Two lips that cried from hunger for your kiss
For too many empty nights I laid awake till dawn
Two arms two lips too lonely too long
[ instrumental ]
You'll never know how much it hurts to know you've never tried
To wake all over for your touch and then be denied
With other arms were offered me it was easy to go wrong
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

Two arms that almost died from loneliness...
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

She'll Be Hanging Round Somewhere

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Pour me hard liquor over soft music
At a table with only one chair
From the first lonely song till the last drop is gone
She'll be hanging round somewhere

She may appear like an angel through a smoky crowd
Or fall in a teardrop I can't hold back now
Pour me hard liquor over soft music
And she'll be hanging round somewhere
[ instrumental ]
She may dance softly in the candle light
Reflecting her old mem'ries everywhere
You may find me glancing in a sparkling wine
For she'll be hanging round somewhere

Pour me hard liquor over soft music
And she'll be hanging round somewhere
She'll be hanging round somewhere

Where Love Has Died

Jim Owen

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

If my years were less if my shoes were new I'd pack my things and I'd leave you
Hitch myself to some westbound train you'd never see me again
If I could dream as I once could I'd be gone it'd be good
I don't want to live haven't ever try in some old house where love has died

We once had love but it's gone now don't know when don't know how
We're two strangers under one roof no need to lie that's the truth
Love has gone there's nothing left I wanna leave I can't help myself
Don't want to live haven't ever try in some old house where love has died
[ instrumental ]
Too many ghosts walk the floor ghosts of the love that ain't no more
I'd like to have what we once had ain't no way and that's too bad
Cause you're too much a part of me for me ever to be free
So we'll keep a living and need to try in some old house where love has died
Some old house where love has died some old house where love has died
Some old house where love has died some old house where love has died

I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You

Hank Williams

© Fred Rose Music, BMI

Everybody says you let me down
I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darling I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together we can find a brighter way
In my heart I know that you'll come true
Darling I could never be ashamed of you
[ instrumental ]
All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darling I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you prove to be untrue
Darling I could never be ashamed of you

Pick Me Up On Your Way Down

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back at your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown pick me up on your way down
[ instrumental ]
They have changed your attitude now you're haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame underneath you're still the same
When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone...

Heart Over Mind

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
But then you make me think you really want me
Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You keep hurting me I know but I just can't let you go
Cause my heart won't let my love for you change
[ instrumental ]
Now friends tell me they see you out with others
And in my heart I try hard to forget
But you come home and tell me you still love me
And I still hope there's some chance for us yet

You've got me heart over mind...
Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

Cover Mama's Flowers

Johnny Gore

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

It's been many years now since mom passed away
But there's lots of sweet mem'ries that I have today
And when I see autumn and leaves turning brown
I feel like mama is somewhere around

Don't forget to cover my flowers I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away

Yes I remember though it's been so long
My heart feels so heavy and life seems so wrong
I'd give all my treasures and things I might own
To go back to mama's old country home

Don't forget to cover my flowers I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away
[ instrumental ]
As I wait in this jungle in this foreign land
Of people so indifferent to God and to men
It's kill or be killed and I wonder today
If the ones that I'm fighting thinks of mama this way

Don't forget to cover my flowers I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away
Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away

Crazy Arms

Ralph Mooney - Chuck Seals

© Champion Music, BMI

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
[ instrumental ]
So please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new...
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Heartaches By The Number

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end
[ instrumental ]
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score...
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end

Games People Play

Joe South

© Lowery Music, BMI

Oh the games people now every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
They just wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
I'm a talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

Oh we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
Neither one'll ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
A thinkin' bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty dirty dirty rotten shame

Lotten da la da da da...
[ instrumental ]
Now people walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da...

Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da

Lotten da la da da da...
