One Of These Days

Earl Montgomery

© Altam Music, BMI

Well I won't have to chop no wood I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel one of these days
Might be a woman that's dressed in black be a hobo by the railroad track
I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days

One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time
Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind
[ instrumental ]
I might someday walk across this land carrying the Lord's book in my hand
Goin' cross the country singing loud as I can one of these days
But I won't have trouble on my back cuttin' like the devil with a choppin' axe
Got to shake it off my back one of these days

One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry...
There's gonna be peace of mind for me one of these days

Sweet Dreams

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should have known you'll never wear my name
I know I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
[ instrumental ]
Sweet dreams of you every night I go through...

To Daddy

Dolly Parton

© Owepar Pub, BMI

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
If she did she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did she never did say so to daddy
The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
If she did she never did say so to daddy
He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home
If she did she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
If she did she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she don't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke just to find a note
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
And as we began to read it our ears could not believe it
The words she had written there to daddy
She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
I have needed you so long without you things can't keep holdin' on
She never meant to come back home but she did she never did say so to daddy
Goodbye daddy

You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie)

Chuck Berry

© Arc Music, BMI

It was a teenage weddin' and the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that Pierre did truly love that madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammer with TV dinners and gingerale
But when Pierre found work the little money comin' worked out well
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records all rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell
[ instrumental ]
They bought a souped up jitney twas a cherry red fifty three
They drove it to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wadded to that lovely madamoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

It was a teenage weddin' and the old folks wished 'em well...

C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

Making Believe

Jimmy Work

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
Still I'll always dream I'll never own you
Making believe it's all I can do

Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
[ instrumental ]
Making believe I never lost you
But my happy hour I'll find now so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can I do

Making believe I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Easy From Now On

Carlene Carter - Susanna Clark

© Song Of Cash, ASCAP

There he goes gone again
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was like a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet
It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy it's gonna be easy it's gonna be easy from now on
[ instrumental ]
Raw as a whip but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
When the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry bout me I've got a wild card up my sleeve

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman...

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 cause we're together again

Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms right where you belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters cause we're together again
[ instrumental ]
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters cause we're together again
No nothing else matters cause we're together again

If I Could Only Win Your Love

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away
If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when you're gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight
If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live...
[ instrumental ]
Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when you're gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight
If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live...

Too Far Gone

Billy Sherrill

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

I know that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And I hate to say it but you have the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

But I'm too far gone too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
And I'm too far gone
[ instrumental ]
If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember our love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

Cause I'm too far gone too far gone...

Two More Bottles Of Wine

Delbert McClinton

© ABC/Dunhill Music, BMI

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might've set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublein' mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight he just up and put me down
Well ain't gonna let it bother me today
I've been a workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Well I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I've been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow
Well I'd be in the sun all day but I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in West LA
But it's all right cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
[ instrumental ]
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know...

Yes it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes it's all right cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Boulder To Birmingham

Bill Danoff - Emmylou Harris

© Wait And See Music, BMI

I don't wanna hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky

I don't wanna hear a sad story
Filled with heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire

And I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn I watched it burn

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see I could see your face

Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I survived
I've come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down on Highway 95

And pretending it's the ocean coming down to wash me clean
To wash me clean if you know what I mean

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham...
If I thought I could see I could see your face

Hello Stranger

A.P. Carter

© Peer Int, BMI

Hello stranger put your loving hand in mine
Hello stranger put your loving hand in mine
You are a stranger and you're a friend of mine

Get up rounder let a working girl lay down
Get up rounder let a working girl lay down
You are a rounder and you're all out and down

Now every time I ride the six and four street cars
Every time I ride the six and four street cars
I can see my baby peepin' through the bars

Well he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
Bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He's prison bound and longin' to be free

Well I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
Yes I'll see you when you haven't got a dime

Weepin' like a willow and mournin' like a dove
Weepin' like a willow and mournin' like a dove
That man I really yes I really love

Hello stranger put your loving hand in mine
Hello stranger put your loving hand in mine
You are a stranger and you're a friend of mine
