If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong (Do It Right)

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© ATV Songs, BMI

There's a closet full of dresses that I bought you
And here's the keys to the new car in the drive
And before you leave our room put on your best perfume
If you're gonna do me wrong do it right

Oh the next time the phone rings I won't answer
I don't wanna be the fool I was tonight
I don't wanna know the truth I don't wanna see the proof
If you're gonna do me wrong do it right

If you're gonna break my heart all to pieces
Just walk right out and leave me and end it all tonight
Take off your wedding band when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong do it right

Take off your wedding band when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong do it right

Tennessee Courage

Louis Brown - Vern Gosdin - Rex Gosdin

When they'll open the bar I'll be there on the stool
And forget all my cares in a hurry
And it's my belief that I'll find relief
In a bottle of some Tennessee courage

Her mem'ry keeps waitin' in the light every night
Alone with the rest of my always
But I'll never crawl I can hold up the wall
With the help of some Tennessee courage

Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf
And he'll go to war with my troubles
And he'll never desert an old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage

The straight ninety proof can all turn to truth
The hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive praise help for a wife
With the help some Tennessee courage

Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf...
So pour me some Tennessee courage

Today My World Slipped Away

Mark Wright - Vern Gosdin

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

We made it final today
I gave you all I had you made your getaway
All the love we once made
Turned to mem'ries today

I left the courtroom and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
There's nothing left of my heart
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start

Cause today my world slipped away
We buried the plans we made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid
Cause today my world slipped away

My friends say that I'll make it all right
I'll recover and start a new life
But that will be so hard to do
Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you

And today my world slipped away...
Yes today my world slipped away

I Feel Love Closin' In

Jim Sales - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music BMI

You've got everything I'll ever need in a woman
And you know just how to make me feel like a man
So let's put our hearts together
Let nothin' come between us but lovin'
And if anyone could ever get the job done
I just know we can

Oh it's such a good feeling I know it won't end
This time I'm dealin' with more than a friend
I feel love closin' in

I've heard it said many times true love goes on and on
Then there's a chance our love could last
After we pass through heaven's door
And if we can't be with one another
Think I'd rather not go
After a lifetime of lovin' like this
I'm gonna hold out for more

Oh it's such a good feeling I know it won't end
This time I'm dealin' with more than a friend
I feel love closin' in
Oh it's such a good feeling I know it won't end
This time I'm dealin' with more than a friend
I feel love closin' in

I Wonder Where We'd Be Tonight

Jim Sales - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music BMI

Time is sure passin' slow Lord it's only half past ten
One too many times tonight you just crossed my mind again
I just can't help but wonder why we had that final fight
And if we hadn't given up I wonder where we'd be tonight

It's just about all I can do to keep from pickin' up the phone
Cause I'm afraid that if you answer I might find you're not alone
I can't stand the thought that someone else could make your world seem right
If we were still together girl wonder where we'd be tonight

How would it be would we still love the way we used to
Would you believe in me could I still be inside the heart of you
Would you take me in your lovin' arms and make everything all right
If we were still a hangin' on wonder where we'd be tonight
I just can't get you off my mind God I wonder where you are tonight

Way Down Deep

Max D. Barnes - Max T. Barnes

© Hookit Music BMI

This highway of heartache is rocky and rough
And I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire in the ashes of love
And roses don't bloom in the snow

Down way down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I can feel your love take hold
Way down deep in my heart
[ instrumental ]
You were my light on the darkest of days
Through storms that were raging within
Then slowly but surely the clouds rolled away
And the sun started shining again

Down way down deep inside my soul...
Down way down deep inside my soul...
Down way down deep inside my soul...
Down way down deep inside my soul...

I Couldn't Love You More

Vern Gosdin - Les Reed

© Hookit Music BMI / Bethel Music, BMI

If you would always love me the way you love me now
There wouldn’t be a mountain I couldn't climb
Your smile is like the sunshine your tears like the rain
You've added so much to this life of mine

And I feel the feeling growing stronger
And every day I seem to love you more
God gave us the need for each other
And I couldn't love you more than the way that I'm loving you now

I'm growing used to loving you and having you around
I don't recall a time you let me down
And when you're here beside me to love me and to guide me
I'm amazed at the world that I have found

And I feel the feeling growing stronger...
Oh I couldn't love you more than the way that I'm loving you now

My Heart Is In Good Hands

Blake Mevis - Bill Shore

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

True love's been a stranger to my heart
Always meant for someone else
I'd put away my dreams I have
Forever gather dust up on the shelf

But tonight I lay in your lovin' arms
Unafraid to dream again
And I can face whatever tomorrow brings
Cause tonight my heart's in good hands

You found me where love left me laying
Torn apart broken down
Somehow you found something worth saving
I've seen love from both sides now

So, tonight I lay in your lovin' arms
Unafraid to dream again
And I can face whatever tomorrow brings
Cause tonight my heart's in good hands

Yes, tonight I lay in your lovin' arms
Unafraid to dream again
And I can face whatever tomorrow brings
Cause tonight my heart's in good hands
Yes tonight my heart's in good hands

Favorite Fool Of All

Vern Gosdin - Les Reed

© Hookit Music BMI / Bethel Music, BMI

There's no telling how many hearts you caused to break
And if the truth was known you've caused a tear in every state
Oh but I don't worry about it cause I know that you will call
And up till now I've been your favorite fool of all

You know I'll be there just as sure as April rains
And don't you know that if you were a picture I'd be the frame
You've got me living in a prison although I didn't break the law
Now we both know that I'm your favorite fool of all

Oh I wish that I could stand my ground whenever you come around
But you just as well be tellin' me not to breathe
After all this time of standing in your life again I'll fall
I guess I'll always be your favorite fool of all

After all this time of standing in your life again I'll fall
I guess I'll always be your favorite fool of all

I'll Try

Wayne Bradford

© Hookit Music BMI

If you need a helping hand when things don't go the way you planned
And you need someone who understands I'll try
If you should wake deep in the night from dreamin' dream that just ain't right
And you need someone to hold you tight I'll try

I'll try to help you understand what love is all about
And why the things you want so bad you seem to do without
And if your heart should start to cry as you watch dreams inside you die
And you need someone to tell you why I'll try
[ steel ]
And if your heart should start to cry as you watch dreams inside you die
And you need someone to tell you why I'll try
