Southern Rains

Roger Murrah

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Sometimes my soul gets weary and my mind begins to wonder
And like that old train the Hummingbird it goes to Alabam
They say home is where the heart is and mine is down in Dixie
And when you go down to Dixie you're heading for higher ground

(Southern rain)
Blowing from the coast of Mississippi
(Southern rain)
I fell better when those southern waters hit me
I can't get into Jordan seven times to easy the pain
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain

(Southern rain)
Like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven
(Southern rain)
They can wash away your cares if you let them
You may not believe my story and you may think I'm insane
But they're the closest thing to home those southern rains

Austick is a peeling that a body can't get over
There's no such thing as healing and it won't go away with time
When were young we want to get away when we're old we want to go back
And we spend our lives replacing all the things we leave behind

(Southern rain)
Blowing from the coast of Mississippi
(Southern rain)
I fell better when those southern waters hit me
I can't get into Jordan seven times to easy the pain
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain

(Southern rain)
Like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven...

One Night Fever

Bob Morrison - Johnny McRae

© Southern Sight Music, ASCAP

One night fever

I watch you settin' at the mirror puttin' on your face
I know a million men who'd kill to be here in my place
'Cause your so dog-gone pretty that it's almost a crime
To make believe you're going shopping
While I make believe I'm blind

One night fever burning in your soul
One night fever that you can't control
I know you're trying but you can't be true
Cause that one night fever has got a hold on you

Well I thought the love I gave you would surely change your ways
And cure the neon mania that haunts you night and day
But it almost drives me crazy pretending I don't know the score
That that dress you're puttin' on will end up on a stranger's floor

One night fever burning in your soul
One night fever that you can't control
I know you're trying but you can't be true
Cause that one night fever has got a hold on you
One night fever

Time Has Treated You Well

Dave Hanner

© Sabal Music, BMI

Is that you I can't believe my eyes
Is that you with that long curly hair and dark hazel eyes
It's been so long but it's easy to tell
That time has treated you well

I spend my nights with the rest of the guys
Don't look at the grey in my hair and the age in my eyes
The years went by I won't say my spirits fell
But I will say time has treated you well

How many years went by since the good ole days
How many years went by since you turned me away
I swore I'd never let you know
And the way that I felt when you left would never show

But I don't want to waste your night
With the stories I could tell
So I'll just say time has treated you well
So happy that time has treated you well

A Million Old Goodbyes

Bobby Russell - Buzz Cason - Steve Gibb

© Buzz Cason Pub, ASCAP

There's a plane out tonight
And I swear to you I'm gonna take that flight
Please don't you come to see me cry
You've seen it in a million old goodbyes

There was me there was you
But there never was an us to hook onto
There were times we touched the sky
Long before a million old goodbyes

Breaking up sometimes is more loving than the staying up
Crying nights and planning how to patch it up
Knowing it was something needing giving up

It was good it was fine
We've played out this ending many times
We can say that we have tried
Way beyond a million old goodbyes

There's a plane out tonight
And I swear to you I'm gonna take that flight
We can say that we have tried
Way beyond a million old goodbyes
Way beyond a million old goodbyes

Shame On You Shame On Me

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

Another lie and we're lying here together
We know it's wrong for stealing love this way
But even though we're the ones who are guilty
Oh heaven knows we're not the only ones to blame

Shame on wives when they're not lovers
Shame on husbands to blind to see
Shame on that ol' fire inside us
Shame on you shame on me

Oh looking back at all the lies and secrets
It breaks our hearts to think of what we've done
But all this time there's one thing we've been sure of
We may be wrong but we're not the only one

Shame on wives when they're not lovers
Shame on husbands to blind to see
Shame on that ol' fire inside us
Shame on you shame on me

Shame on wives when they're not lovers
Shame on husbands to blind to see

Pyramid Of Cans

Bob Corbin - Buddy Cannon

© Sabal Music, BMI

I drink from cans and stack 'em in a pyramid so high
As a monument to how I feel then she told me goodbye
I like my friends around me but they all understand
Why I keep her memory buried beneath the pyramid of cans

The power of the pyramid I don't understand
It's a mystery that gets bigger with every empty can
I stack them high and watch them fall like a castle in the sand
Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans

We used to come here often and the band would play our song
Now I wonder if they wonder why I come in alone
Cause lately I come in here nightly they think I'm their biggest fan
But the power pulling me in here is the pyramid of cans
Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans

Forgive Me For Giving YouThe Blues

Jerry House

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I'm afraid of tomorrow and ashamed of today
For I just stood there like a fool and let you walk away
I held my ground right when I should'a been on my knees
I said goodbye right when I should'a been saying please

Forgive me for giving you the blues
Didn't mean to be so mean to you
I've been so unaware about showing how I care
Forgive me for giving you the blues

A king size bed with no queen seems a mile wide
And you've not been gone long enough for your tears to dry
I can't sleep cause memories keep coming on too strong
I can see I made you leave but I can't make you come home

Forgive me for giving you the blues
Didn't mean to be so mean to you
I've been so unaware about showing how I care
Forgive me for giving you the blues
Forgive me for giving you the blues

Here's Lookin' At You

Sandy Pinkard - John Durrill - Sam Atchley

© Peso Music, BMI

When the light from the beer sign shines on your face
It shines on your wedding ring too
And I know you consider telling me about him
So consider what I'm telling you

There are songs for a quarter on every jukebox
Songs of cheating and back street affairs
Songs that we dance to held hands and made plans to
The Lord knows I can't hold on to you

Here's looking at you feeling the way that I do
One last round of red wine and a toast for the good times we knew
Here's looking at you feeling the way that I do
I can't take those tomorrows with a love that feels borrowed from you

I can't wait for the moment when the telephone rings
And you whisper where we'll rendezvous
I can't face one more long night of sleeping alone
While his body lies next to you

Here's looking at you feeling the way that I do
One last round of red wine and a toast for the good times we knew
Here's looking at you feeling the way that I do
I can't take those tomorrows with a love that feels borrowed from you
