Lasting Love

Dallas Frazier

I want a lasting love that's guarantee to stay

I'm tired of having fun just loving anyone
Not more and good be holding hands with me when midnight comes
It may seem all right then but when it's said and done
This old heart of mine is right back where it started from

I want a lasting love no more goodbye love
I'm through with temporary love that's undependable
Goodbye to yesterdays hello to better days
I want a lasting love that's guarantee to stay

I've truly had my share of insincere affair
Yet that's same old emptiness inside it's always there
I'm glad I've finally seen a change just had to be
Here today and gone tomorrow love is not for me

I want a lasting love no more goodbye love...
I want a lasting love that's guarantee to stay

My Hometown

I wonder if there's anyone remembers me in my hometown
I wonder what the folks would say if I wandered in and just moseyed around
I wonder if they look at me and say what's your name haven't we met before
To me it would seem like a beautiful dream to be in my hometown
[ instrumental ]
I'd like to see the little house where I was born in my hometown
I'd like to wade the creek again and see where I hid all the treasures I'd found
I wanna just remember all the places I knew when I was a kid
Oh to me it would seem like a beautiful dream to be in my hometown

That Big Old Moon

That big old moon up there holds nothing for me
But a lot of lonely nights and the blue memories

It keeps on watching me won't let me love again
Reflects a cloud on me makes my future look dim

That big old moon up there holds nothing for me...
[ instrumental ]
That big old moon up there holds nothing for me...

You may see a man up there I used to see one too
I don't see that man no more I can only see you

That big old moon up there holds nothing for me...

The Race Is On

Don Rollins

© Glad Music, BMI

with Orlo & Marvis Thompson

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard oh she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside my tears are holding back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ instrumental ]
One day I ventured in love never once suspecting what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch...

Whose Irish eyes are heavenly blue whose Irish smile is like a morning dew
Who do I see in all my dreams Marie Mary Patricia Eileen

Whose precious love will never grow old giving to me a gladness untold
Who stands by me through sunshine and rain Marie Mary Patricia Eileen

Four pretty names for one pretty girl gives me the joy I seek through the world
Whose helping hand is always there lending her smile so sweet and fair
Who is my life my everything Marie Mary Patricia Eileen

Money Greases The Wheels

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

There's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel

Well one time these two brothers were floatin' down the river on a raft
One brother fell in the water the other brother ah he just laughed
And said I'll save you for a dollar and a half

Well there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel...

Well a long time ago this outlaw he robbed and killed and stole
His girlfriend heard about a reward she went to the sheriff and told
And got ten thousand dollars in gold

Well there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel...
[ instrumental ]
Well one time in Las Vegas a gambler was shootin' craps
He lost all his money and his baby but when he won his money back
He got ten new babies on his lap

Well there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel...
Well there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel...

Green Green Grass Of Home

(It's so good to touch the green green grass of home)

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
And down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms a reaching and smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
And down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me to the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

Blue Canadian Rockies

In the Blue Canadian Rockies spring is sighing through the trees
And the golden pupies are blooming around the banks of Lake Luise

Across the sea they call me I'm so lonesome and so blue
For the Blue Canadian Rockies and the girl I love so true
[ instrumental ]
(Spring is sighing through the trees)
[ instrumental ]
(Around the banks of Lake Luise)

Across the sea they call me I'm so lonesome and so blue...

It's Not Me

Alex Zanetis

© Tuckahoe Music, BMI

with Marvis Thompson

It's not me that you speak to when you're talking in your sleep
It's not me I can tell by all the secrets that you keep
It's not me you're always dreaming of
Oh how it hurts to know who's your new love

It's not me that you're kissing someone else is on your mind
It's not me that you're missing cause I'm with you all the time
It's not me and it tears my soul apart
Your hand would hold me while she is in your heart
[ instrumental ]
It's not me you're pretending when you say that I love you
It's not me I can tell by all the little things you do
You're in love and any fool can see
Your heart is breaking for someone it's not me
Your heart is breaking for someone it's not me

What About Me

Moon Mullican

© Fort Knox Music, BMI

So you're leavin' with your new love in the morning
And I know your angel smile no more I'll see
You are taking with you all my sunshine
And I hope you will be happy but what about me

If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't be crying
But a true and trusting heart is too blind to see
I hate to think of you in the arms of another
Still I hope you will be happy but what about me

Every hour of every day I'll be hoping
You'll be safe from the rolling stormy sea
I wish you love and all the good things forever
And I hope you will be happy but what about me
[ instrumental ]
Every hour of every day I'll be hoping...

(All My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers

Liz Anderson

© Four Star Music, BMI

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing you and now you are gone

All the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once I turned my back and you were gone

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers...
[ instrumental ]
It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think I had a love that could be true
Maybe I should be taken out torn and feathered
Than to let myself be taken in by you

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers...
