Your Body Is An Outlaw

Buzz Rabin

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I can't help it if I'm crazy
When it comes to loving you
I'll perform my civic duties
Like the blues say I should do

I'm a deacon at First Baptist
My family treats me like a king
And my wife is mostly happy
Cause she don't know everything

But your body is an outlaw
Stealing from my soul
Well I know hell could not be worse than
Not having you to hold

And I'm on my way to see you
And to feel you feeling me
In the satisfying shadow
Of what is and has to be

Steppin' Out

Billy Starr

© Cherio Corp, BMI

Yes I know that my baby's been steppin' out
She used to be my darlin'
Her old flame keeps comin' right back again
Botherin' my baby

I tried to hold my head up high
And look my friends right in the eye
But way down deep inside it hurts me so
Her old used to be is on the pout again
Botherin' my baby
And I have worried now so long dear
It's really driving me crazy
But I won't ever pout
Neither my darlin' I cannot shout
Yes I know that my baby's steppin' out
[ instrumental ]
I tried to hold my head up high...

Love Up A Storm

Max D. Barnes - Robert James

© Blue Lake Music, BMI

The windows are open the curtains are blowing
You're here beside me feeling so warm
Moonlight and shadows fall on the pillows
The night is for loving let's love up a storm

The heavens are flashing lightning and passion
Our hearts beat like thunder in each other's arms
We'll let our love flow till there's a rainbow
Oh baby don't we know how to love up a storm
[ instrumental ]
The heavens are flashing lightning and passion...

Whiskey Chasin'

Buddy Cannon

© Run Slow Music, ASCAP

Looks like this bad rainy weather
Kept everyone else in
I'd hoped someone would come along
And fill the space in me where your love's been

I'm sittin' in a bar in the middle of the day
Just whiskey chasin' all my troubles away

Another shot of southern comfort
Some water on the side
It's crazy when a man allows himself
To be so taken for a ride

But love is so strong it does what it wants to
I'm whiskey chasin' memories of me and you

The music in the background
Sounds like it's pouring out of my heart
Seems like every time the saddest song has played
A sadder one will start

I wonder what's happening in the bar across the street
There's got to be a place in town
Where brokenhearted people go and meet
Hey friend another round when you're down at this end
I'm whiskey chasin' the world away again

I need some more southern comfort when you're down at this end
I'm whiskey chasin' my troubles away again
I'm whiskey chasin' my troubles away again

Stay A Little Longer

Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan

© Red River Songs, BMI

Well you've all seen my little blue eyed Sally
She lives a way down on Shinbone Alley
The number on the gate and the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store

Stay all night stay a little longer
Dance all night dance a little longer
Pull off your coat throw it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

Well sittin' on the window talkin' to my love
A slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream
The mule got sick and we laid him o'er the beam

Stay all night stay a little longer...

Well you can't go home if you're goin' by the mill
The bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill
Big creek's up and the little creek's left
Plow my corn with a double shovel

Stay all night stay a little longer...
Stay all night stay a little longer...

She's Just Being A Woman

Jerry House

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

She's happy then sad she's sorry then glad
But I guess she's just being a woman
She's content then furious unconcerned then curious
But I guess she's just being a woman

She'll laugh while she's crying confess while denying
But I guess she's just being a woman
She acts dumb then ingenious uninterested then sensuous
But I guess she's just being a woman

She's just being a woman being a woman
But she's being my woman and that's enough
She consents then disagrees
She demands while saying please
She's just being the woman I love
She's just being the woman I love

Rain On My Parade

Ken McDuffie

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

You sure made it rain on my parade
Just when I thought we had it made
You cheated you lied put these tears in my eyes
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade

I marched to the beat of your music
My heart was the drum that you played
You beat me to the ground girl with your running round
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade

You sure made it rain on my parade
Just when I thought we had it made
You cheated you lied put these tears in my eyes
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade
[ instrumental ]
Yeah like a fool I believed in you
I did everything you asked me to
I must be going blind I didn't see that danger sign
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade

Now I don't think I'll fall in love again
It takes too long for my heart to mend
Go on I've had enough girl you're playing too damn rough
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade

You sure made it rain on my parade
Just when I thought we had it made
You cheated you lied put these tears in my eyes
Yes you sure made it rain on my parade

Yes you sure made it rain on my parade
When it rains it pours

Sweet Little Miss Blue Eyes

Don Helms - Merle Taylor

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Who makes me forget all the other girls I've met
Sweet little miss blue eyes
Who's sweeter to me than she really ought to be
Sweet little miss blue eyes

Who's gonna start takin' care of my heart
She makes me realize it's lucky for me
And I really want to be
With sweet little miss blue eyes

Little miss blue eyes looks so good
I want to move her to the neighborhood
I want to make every girl in town
Jealous when she's around

I'm walkin' the line cause I'm glad that she's mine
I'm livin' in paradise and I know I can't go wrong
By just stringing along
With sweet little miss blue eyes

A Thing Called Sadness

Chuck Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

It's been here since you've been gone
It's been hanging round too long
A thing called sadness not much of a friend
When you walked out it walked in

In every chair where I sit down
It follows me all over town
A thing called sadness not much of a friend
When you walked out it walked in

What in the world am I gonna do
This old friend can't take the place of you
It only brings back mem'ries of you
And all the things that we used to do

In every chair where I sit down
It follows me all over town
A thing called sadness not much of a friend
When you walked out it walked in

Cherokee Maiden

Cindy Walker

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
Even though we're far apart
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me

My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
Even though we're far apart
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip...
