A Dime At A Time

Jerry Chesnut - Dottie Bruce

My whole life saving's a two dollar bill
That's why I'm here tonight I've got time to kill
Now I can tell my story about twenty times
With two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time

Two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time
Play that same old song about the love gone wrong till closin' time
Two dollars ought to do me if you'll buy the wind
And I put it in the jukebox a dime at a time
[ instrumental ]
Pardon me Mister mind if I sit down
Misery likes company and I believe that I found
Somebody just as lonely don't believe I'm wrong
If you had a place to go to you'd have done been gone

Two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time...

If My Heart Had Windows

If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

A tear may appear when I hold you near
But that's for the sweet things you do
And if my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

By your side I will stay till we're old and gray
Reminiscing young moments we knew
And if my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
[ instrumental ]
A thief couldn't steal the love that I feel
And heaven for me has come true
And if my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

The Bottle Let Me Down

Merle Haggard

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
[ instrumental ]
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine will take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down...
Yes tonight the bottle let me down

Life Turned Her That Way

Harlan Howard

If she seems cold and bitter I beg of you
Just stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Just remember life turned her that way

She's been stepped on and walked on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her she cries harder today
So don't blame her life turned her that way
[ instrumental ]
She's been stepped on and walked on so many times...

Crying Time

Buck Owens

© Blue Book Music, BMI

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And tears are only rain to make love grow
For my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...
[ instrumental ]
Now you say that you found someone that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...

That's The Chance I'll Have To Take

Waylon Jennings

© Wilderness Music, BMI

Troubles and a worried mind
It seems that's all I've ever known
But now I'll leave that all behind
If you'll just leave me alone

And if I go on loving you
If to leave is a mistake
If I'm wrong in what I do
That's the chance I'll have to take
[ instrumental ]
Don't bother now to waste the time
Saying things you've said before
I've heard it all a hundred times
But I won't listen anymore

And if I go on loving you...

Don't Squeeze My Sharmon

Carl Belew - Van Givens

© Four Star Music, BMI

Did you hear what happened last Saturday night
While dancing and drinking we all got half tight
This sweet thing named Sharmon was dancing with me
When up jumped her boy friend and he hollered at me

Please don't squeeze my Sharmon don't hold her so tight
You'd best keep my warning it's my last one tonight
She's soft and she's gentle and as sweet as can be
And if Sharmon needs squeezing then leave that to me
[ instrumental ]
Along about midnight I was feeling no pain
And me and Miss Sharmon were dancing again
Then Hank and big Harlan got into a fight
And I heard someone holler as out went the light

Please don't squeeze my Sharmon don't hold her so tight...

Sing Me Back Home

Merle Haggard

© Blue Book Music, BMI

The warden let the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar playing friend do my request

Let him sing me back home the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
[ instrumental ]
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers there's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along

Won't you sing me back home the song I used to hear...
Won't you sing me back home before I die

Destination Atlanta G.A.

Bill Hayes - Bill Howard

© Forrest Hills Music, BMI

One more day and I'll draw my pay I'm gonna take myself and leave here
And I can hardly wait until I'm on my way
I'll tell the man at the station I want a one-way reservation
And make my destination Atlanta GA

Well I've been gone a way too long the homesick blues got to me
But I'll just have to sweat it out for me more day
I'll draw the pay I've got coming hit the station a running
Get ready for all the fun in Atlanta GA

I'm gonna pick me a peach on peach-tree street
One that'll knock me off of my feet
And we're gonna make a lotta tracks in Atlanta Georgia clay
I'll call down to the station for ticket information
Confirm my reservation for Atlanta GA
[ instrumental ]
I'm gonna pick me a peach on peach-tree street...

The Image Of Me

Wayne Kemp

© Tree Pub, BMI

Yes I know she's the life of the party
And without her things here would die
Oh but don't be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times she knows how to cry

She drinks and she talks just a little too loud
With her pride gone she tags along with any old crowd
Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me
[ instrumental ]
I met her in a little country town
She was simple and old fashion in some way
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away

Now she drinks and she talks just a little too loud...
Yes I made her the image of me

She Went A Little Bit Farther

Merle Kilgore - Mack Vickery

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Loving me to you seems such a bother
You made it easy for me to love another
So don't blame her for stealing me you let her
And where your love stopped she went a little bit father

You changed so much I was more at ease with a stranger
It wasn't so hard our love was already danger
She does everything that pleases me you never
And where your love stopped she went a little bit father

She went a little bit farther to make me feel love
She considered my feelings now she's all that I'm thinking of
So don't blame her for stealing me you let her
And where your love stopped she went a little bit father
[ instrumental ]
She went a little bit farther to make me feel love...
