One More Time

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I wonder what the power is that you hold over me
I never get to love you long just your memory
And I make a vow each time you leave that this would draw the line
Then you come back and just like now I'm falling one more time

One more time my lips may kiss you
But one more time my arms will hold you
But it won't belong until you're gone with a mem'ry left behind
And I just know that when you go I'll be lonely one more time
[ instrumental ]
Your nearness makes me weaken and I give into you
And I'm doing all the things I said that I wouldn't do
And I make a vow each time you leave that this would draw the line
Then you come back and just like now I'm falling one more time

One more time my lips may kiss you...
And I just know that when you go I'll be lonely one more time

I Can't Stop Loving You

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you yes and it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
Yes and they say that time heals a broken heart
Oh but time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind...

How You Drink The Wine

Ronal McCown

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Well I sat down at a table next to the party
And I could see they were heavy of good time
So I ordered up a bottle of the same thing they were drinking
But it didn't do a thing to ease my mind

Oh it all depends on how you drink the wine
When I turn to the bottle heartaches is all I find
Some people get happy but I just keep on crying
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine
[ instrumental ]
When I look in the bottle I see your reflection
But I turn it up and drink it like a fool
This wine don't kill my feelings so I might as well be leaving
And let somebody else have my stool

Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine...
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine

Don't It Make You Want To Go Home

Joe South

© Lowery Music, BMI

Don't it make you wanna go home now
Don't it make you wanna go home
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home
Don't it make you wanna go home

Oh the whippoorwill roost on the telephone poles
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well it's been a long time but I'm glad to say that I'm
Goin' back down to my hometown
Goin' down to the greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one way fare
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
But tomorrow I'll be right there

Don't it make you wanna go home now...

There's a six lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
And the driving show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild
There's a drugstrip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to grace
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days

Don't it make you wanna go home now...
Don't it make you wanna go home now...
Don't it make you wanna go home now...

Brand New Wrapper

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Same girl brand new wrapper
Is back in town a running with my friends
Same girl brand new wrapper
Heaven help me here I go again

They tell me that you've really changed
That I won't believe my eyes
But underneath that pretty wrapper
There's candy coated lies

Same girl brand new wrapper
Heaven help me here I go again
[ instrumental ]
I know I can't resist you
Cause time is not erased
Enough of your old memories
Or more to take their place

Same girl brand new wrapper
Heaven help me here I go again
Heaven help me here I go again

Heaven Everyday

Jerry Foster - Bill Rice

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

If an angel wears a housewife's dress
And fills a home with happiness
One wakes me gently every morning
And serves me coffee with a kiss

My life is heaven everyday
Because of all the love you give
Your smile drives all my cares away
And makes life heaven everyday
[ instrumental ]
If heaven is all they say
I know for certain I've found mine
Your tender touch and understanding
Makes my life heaven all the time

My life is heaven everyday...

Gonna Burn Some Bridges

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Tonight I'm going out and burn some bridges
But only on the road that leads to you
Find a bar and drown a million mem'ries
What else is there left for me to do

This time I won't give in and let you put me through
Another day for you to play with a heart that worships you
Cause tonight I'm going out and burn some bridges
But only on the road that leads to you
[ instrumental ]
Tonight I'm going out and burn some bridges
Across the crazy river of regret
Find someone who thinks a little of me
And maybe somehow then I can forget

This time I won't give in and let you put me through...

Is Anybody Going To San Antone

Dave Kirby - Glenn Martin

© Tree Pub, BMI

Rain drippin' off the brim of my hat sure is cold today
Here I'm a walkin' down 66 wish she hadn't done me that way
Sleepin' under a table in a roadside park a man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did a sleepin' in our king size bed

Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her
[ instrumental ]
Wind a whippin' down the neck of my shirt like I ain't got nothing on
But I'd rather fight the wind and rain than what I've been fighting at home
Yonder comes a truck with the US mail people writin' letters back home
Tomorrow she'll probably want me back but I'll still be just as gone

Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her
Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her

Welcome To My World

Ray Winkler - John Hathcock

© Tuckahoe Music, BMI

Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you will be given the key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you welcome to my world
[ instrumental ]
Knock and the door will open seek and you will find...
Waiting just for you welcome to my world

Veil Of White Lace

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

The church door was opened and I stepped inside
I went there a hopin' that she'd change her mind
There were beautiful roses in a bridal bouquet
Where she stood at the alter in a veil of white lace

A stranger in silence reached out for her hand
And placed on her finger a gold wedding band
There was happiness written in the smile on his face
But I couldn't see hers neath the veil of white lace

I pitied that stranger for all he could see
Was their life together till eternity
My heart filled with anger when I pictured the face
Of a false hearted quitter neath a veil of white lace

I reached in my pocket when the wedding was done
My hand touched a locket then fell on a gun
It shattered the silence as it left its trace
Stains of red crimson on a veil of white lace

I ran from the church house as I threw down the gun
But stopped on the door step for there crossing the lawn
My darling said she had decided she'd wait
Death to a stranger neath a veil of white lace
Death to a stranger neath a veil of white lace
