Hangin' On

Ira Allen - Buddy Mize

© Alanbo Music, BMI

It's true you have me twisted round your finger
And it seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me to thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Oh oh oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on

My heart is like a yo-yo on a string
I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growin' cause your love keeps a showin'
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Oh oh oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on

A love that's strong as mine will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams
You got me where you want me you keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on
Oh oh oh just enough to keep me a hangin' on

Mother Country Music

Joe Nixon

© ATV Songs, BMI

When my mind is all a clutter from living day to day
Your music's like a river I can gently float away
When I'm deep in disappointment and cannot face the night
Your music lifts me up and takes me closer to the light

Mother country music let your sad songs roll
You nurtured me in childhood you're a haven for my soul
Mother country music let your guitars roll on
There's a refuge for my trouble in your songs
[ instrumental ]
You helped me through the darkest nights when I thought I was alone
And when I found a new love you gave me a love song
When my heart is broken and everything goes wrong
It helps to ease my mind when I hear it in your song

Mother country music let your sad songs roll...
Mother country music let your sad songs roll

It Started All Over Again

Gary S. Paxton - Kay Milete - Jim Lust

© Hookit Music, BMI

We agreed it was over we'd both find another
We shook hands and parted as friends
I thought I'd forget you but today when I met you
It started all over again

It started all over again
I still love you now like I loved you then
It's too late for lyin' I looked in your eyes then
It started all over again
[ instrumental ]
As we stood there together and we live forever
We laughed and you reached for my hand
I started to leave when you touched me and right then
It started all over again

It started all over again...

It's too late now for lyin' I touched you goodbye then
It started all over again

The Chokin' Kind

Harlan Howard

© Wilderness Music, BMI

I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart and now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death girl it's the chokin' kind

You can kill a man with bullets poison or a knife
But it hurts him more to take his pride and ruin his life
Whatever it is you want girl I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind
[ instrumental ]
When you fall in love again girl take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind

The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)

Ewan McColl

© Storm King Music, BMI

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies my love
To the dark and the endless skies
[ instrumental ]
And the first time ever I kissed your lips
I felt the earth turn in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
[ instrumental ]
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart beat close to mine
And I thought the joy would fill the earth
It will last till the end of time my love
It will last till the end of time

Oh the first time ever I saw your face
Your face your face your face

Till The End

Cathy Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

If I never see your loving face again
I'll go on loving you till the end
And if my broken hearted love don't find a way to mend
I'll go on lovin' you till the end

The years and miles may separate you from me
The pain may lessen more as time goes by
But as for me your memories will never fade
And I'll go on lovin' you till the end

If we're ever free to love again I know
Straight to your waiting arms is where I'll go
And there I'll stay forever and I'll prove to you again
I'll go on lovin' you till the end
I'll go on lovin' you till the end

Yesterday's Gone

Wayne Bradford

© Garpax Music, ASCAP

Once upon a time there was tomorrow
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
The dreams that we shared have all been forgotten
For they were yesterday and yesterday's gone

You once wore my name and stood here beside me
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
You gave me your heart and loved me so sweetly
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone

I can see now where I took your love for granted
I can see now all the times I've done you wrong
I thought I knew the things in life I wanted
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone

And yesterday's gone
And yesterday's gone

Woman (Sensuous Woman)

Gary S. Paxton

© Acoustic Music, BMI

Woman sensuous woman
You control the world I'm livin' in
Woman sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again

Step by step you taught me easy loving
Night by night you caught me in your web
My self control was overruled by passion
I couldn't see the heartache just ahead

Woman sensuous woman...
[ instrumental ]
Someone's true at home I should be with her
She don't know I crave your ecstasy
But many hearts would break if I don't conquer
This lustful spell you've cast all over me

Woman sensuous woman...
Release my body and let me live again

Answers To My Questions

Wayne Bradford

© Hookem Music, ASCAP

You tell me you stay out late cause you need time alone
Lately I'm not quite so sure of all that's goin' on
So tonight before you leave again I'd like to talk to you
To find out how you really feel this time I knew the truth

I want answers to my questions don't tell me no lies
I can see you're foolin' me I can read it in your eyes
Though the morning sun may find me alone and by myself
I can't share the love you have for me with someone else
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes you seem far away even when you're near
Often when I speak your name you don't even hear
I searched for the love we had but nothing could I find
I've got to know what lies in store so lay it on the line

I want answers to my questions don't tell me no lies...
I want answers to my questions answers to my questions

We Make Beautiful Music Together

Gary S. Paxton - Ron Hellard

© Acoustic Music, BMI

We make beautiful music together
With heart strings tuned in perfect harmony
Play with me our love song forever
We make beautiful music together

When we met I felt I'd always known you
Like the greatest song you think you've heard
Every note fell into place so naturally
Love grew stronger as we sang each word

We make beautiful music together...
[ instrumental ]
Though we're only two we're like a symphony
Playing melodies from deep within
All through life we'll cherish each new love song
Confident our songs will never end

We make beautiful music together...
We make beautiful music together
