Sweet Misery

Jan Crutchfield - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

When I'm lonely I think about someone someone I call Sweet Misery
In her arms I was in heaven but heaven wasn't meant for me
I still love her oh but I've lost her when she walked out the hurt walked in
Now our love's gone just like an old song that no one ever wants to hear again

I count heartaches that a big fool makes and I think about my Sweet Misery
To my sorrow each new tomorrow proves there ain't never been a bigger fool than me
Cause in her arms I was in heaven but heaven wasn't meant for me
Oh when I'm lonely I think about someone someone I call Sweet Misery
Someone I call sweet misery someone I call Sweet Misery

Snowbird

Gene McLellan

© Beechwood Music, BMI

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waitin' for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

The breeze along the river seems to say
She'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take it with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful water flows

Spread your tiny wings and fly away...
If I could you know that I would fly away with you

Statue Of A Fool

Jan Crutchfield

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone

And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he cried
And the hurt in his eyes would so everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside

So build a statue and oh build it high so that all can see
Then inscribe the World's Greatest Fool and name it after me

Heart Over Mind

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
But then you make me think that you still love me
And all my thoughts of leaving do no good

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I still can't let you go
Cause my heart won't let my love for you change
[ instrumental ]
Friends tell me they see you with another
And in my heart I try hard to forget
But you come home and tell me you still love me
I still hope there's some chance for us yet

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time...
No my heart won't let my love for you change

The Migrant

I know that your weed fields need working
And there's just time before the rain starts to fall
But I cannot stay for the harvest
Cause tonight I'm headin' down south goodbye I'll see you all

I hear there's a while line a hirin' hands out in Texas
So I guess I'll go and brush a well or two
Can you wait until I'm makin' up to get us through the winter
For the days are short and cold and work is scarce

Mhm the fragrance of your hair is in each meadow
And your smile has touched the wind
And as I work my way closer to you
It feels so good to be close to home again

When the leaves fall from the trees look out your window oh yeah
And you'll see me coming up the road
Run as fast as you can out to meet me
And throw your arms around me baby cause baby I'm home
I finally got back home home sweet home it's too good to be back home

One More Time

Jan Crutchfield - Larry Butler - Buddy Killen

© Dixie Jane Music, BMI´

Mistakes I have made them and you don't know how much I hate them
But that's me and I don't guess I'll ever change
I don't mean to hurt you heaven knows I hate to hurt you
But here I am to ask forgiveness one more time

One more time I'll ask you to forgive me
One more time I'll come crawling back to you
All I ask is a chance to show you how much I love you
Won't you please take me back one more time

One more time I'll tell you that I'm sorry
But this time I'll go down on bended knees
And I'll cry and beg forgiveness please give me your forgiveness
Won't you please take me back one more time one more time
Well I said all that I can say
And I just hope that I said it the right way
Won't you please take me back one more time

Sidewalks Of Chicago

Dave Kirby

© Tree Pub, BMI

This Levi's that I'm wearin' have been good to me
They just won't admit they're growin' old
Though my shirt's made contract with a gutter now and then
At least it keeps my body from the cold

Thank God the folks back home in Harlan County
Can't see what success has done for me
Would you believe that kids in Harlan High School
Voted me most likely to succeed

Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine
Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
Wishing I had lived some other time

I wasn't here too long before I met her
The lady really swept me off my feet
She stayed just long enough for me to love her
And now they're sweepin' me up off the street

My mama thinks I've really hit the big time
She's written every day since I've been gone
She don't know hat 109 East Charlotte
Is the address of the West Side Mission Home

Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago...

Conway Twitty

Hello darlin' sure nice to see you it's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be
How's your new love are you happy hope you're doing fine
Just to know this it means so much to me

What's that darlin' oh how'm I doing guess I'm doing all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is I love you and I miss you
And I'm sorry that I did you wrong

Look up darlin' let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you darlin' may God bless you and may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find

Well goodbye darlin' I gotta go now gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin' I'll be waiting for you

For The Good Times

Kris Kristofferson

© Buckhorn Music, BMI

Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times (for the good times)

I'll get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow...

Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By

Sharon Rucker

© Belton Music, ASCAP

Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall
Did you ever own a homemade apple pie
Did you ever watch a child while he was praying
Friend don't let the good life pass you by

Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling
Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky
Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping
Friend don't let the good life pass you by

Man was made for loving not for buying
Go can't give you things we really need
Just look my friend there's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke and being free

Did you ever see the funny side of losin'
Did you ever sit right down and have a cry
Did you ever take the time to help your neighbor
Just don't let the good life pass you by

Man was made for loving not for buying...
Just don't let the good life pass you by
