Slightly Used

Wynn Stewart - Curtis Leach - Bobby George

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Before we slip and fall in love I'd better caution you
I'm the kind they've warned you of I've slipped a time or two
The stories you just can't believe tho I'm guilty as accused
But I've still got my pride slightly used

It's been slightly used but it still hurts to love and lose
It's been slightly used but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine then it belongs to you
With all my love slightly used
[ instrumental ]
Our destinies are not the same I'm bad and you're so good
One of us would have to change I don't know if I could
And if I failed I'd dragged you down until your pride refused
Then you'd be like me slightly used

Well I've been slightly used but it still hurts to love and lose
I've been slightly used but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine then it belongs to you
With all my love slightly used

Excuse Me (I Think I've Got A Heartache)

Harlan Howard - Buck Owens

© Briarcliff Music, BMI

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry

They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
[ instrumental ]
I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth I'd have to say

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache...

You Better Not Do That

Tommy Collins

© Central Songs, BMI

I'm just a plain ol' country kid and I like to do what's right
Just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight
Sometimes they got resistance put no matter how I tried
Then a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye

And I'll say you better not do that now and she'll say why
And I'll say cause you just better not do that
When I was in a country school I always had a girl
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl

And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
I'd scratch my head and wonder how they're ever satisfied
And I'd say honey you better not do that now and she'd say why
And I'll say cause you just better not do that
[ instrumental ]
Now when I was a little older I went to the country dance
I went to have a little fun I was a thinkin' bout romance
But the dim lights just lured them on and they'd snuggle up to me
I knew I couldn't last too long I'm new man on scene

And I'd say baby you better not do that now and she'd say why
And I'd say cause you just better not do that
Well that's the way my life has been ain't it a cryin' shame
How much longer can I last if I keep playin' her game

Sometimes I don't know who I am don't pay on what they're doin'
I'm afraid in years to come that girls will be my ruin
And I'll say ah honey you better not do that now and she'll say why
And I'll say cause you just better not do that now and she'll say why George
And I'll say ah well uhm ah ha ha ha okay it's alright if you do that

Long Black Limousine

Bobby George - Vern Stovall

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city
And now they finally brought you on to me

When you left you told me someday you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car for all the town to see
Now everybody's watching you finally got your dream
You're riding in a long black limousine

The papers told of how you lost your life
The party and the fatal crash that night
The race upon the highway the curve you didn't see
And now you're in that long black limousine
[ instrumental ]
Through tear dimmed eyes I watch as you ride by
A chauffer at the wheel dressed up so fine
I'll never love another my heart and all my dreams
Are with you in that long black limousine

Under Your Spell Again

Buck Owens - Dusty Rhodes

© Central Songs, BMI

You've got me under your spell again saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
You've got me dreaming those dreams again making those things again
I've gotta take you back just one more time

I swore the last time that you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone

You've got me under your spell again...
[ instrumental ]
Well everybody tells me that I'm a fool
That I never should have put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do

You've got me under your spell again...

Above And Beyond (The Call Of Love)

Harlan Howard

© Jat Music, BMI

Well a poor boy's chances for pretty girl's glances are sometimes very few
But I've got no money if you'll be my honey here's what I'll offer you

Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'm gonna give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy
[ instrumental ]
Well we met by chance and I knew at a glance that I'd met my destiny
Now I wanna carry you off and marry you if you will agree

Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love...
And I said love's something that money can't buy

I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Today

Harlan Howard

© Central Songs, BMI

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in your way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you

So I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow they'd never measure up to you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
And I'll wake and I'll hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ instrumental ]
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn...

Keep Those Cards And Letters Coming In

Harlan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

I didn't wanna be no soldier didn't wanna leave your side
Didn't wanna cross that ocean it's so deep and wide
Now I guess that I'm the bluest soldier in all Germany
Though I'm blue I'm a gonna be true you'll just write to me

You gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey
Say you love me time and time again honey
It's many a mile from Memphis to Berlin honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in
[ instrumental ]
Well you don't know how your letters to me keep your mem'ry on my mind
Keep my heart from ever thinking about those cute Frauleins
For every letter that you write me honey I'll write two
Keep let me know that you miss me so till I get home to you

You gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey...
You gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey...

Together Again

Buck Owens

© Central Songs, BMI

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ instrumental ]
Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again
And nothing else matters we're together again

Under The Influence Of Love

Harlan Howard - Buck Owens

© Central Songs, BMI

Under the influence of love

She knew I knew that she was out to get me
But I just close my eyes let it be
Now she walks by me like she never met me
I didn't even make a memory

For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of
Yes I was so in love I let her hurt me though I knew better
Under the influence of love
[ instrumental ]
Why did I let her do me like she done me
Why can't I get that woman off my mind
Although I know she never truly loved me
I wish she break my heart just one time

For I was under the influence of love...

Big Big Love

Wynn Stewart - Ray Carroll

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Can't you tell my love's a growin' can't you feel ain't it showin'
Though you must be a knowin' I got a big big love
It's not the kind to be concealin' just the kind to be revealin'
It's not a little bitty feelin' I got a big big love

I think it's time we done some walkin' I think it's time we done some talkin'
There's a great big moon above we got a big big love
This is not infatuation this is a true love sensational
It's not my imagination I got a big big love for you
[ instrumental ]
Can't you tell my love's a growin' can't you feel ain't it showin'...
I think it's time we done some walkin' I think it's time we done some talkin'...

Foolin' Around

Harlan Howard - Buck Owens

© Central Songs, BMI

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
When you're tired of foolin' round with 2-0-3
Come on home and fool around with me

I wasn't foolin' round the day I said I'd do
Many a nights I wished that I've been foolin' too
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
When it's you a fool I'll always be

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start...
[ instrumental ]
So honey fool around you'll know right where I'm at
Don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' round with 2-0-3
Come on home and fool around with me

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start...
