You've Got Somebody I've Got Somebody

Michael Johnson

© Garpax Music, ASCAP

Friday night after the show hotel rooms are gettin' small
Feelin' just a little over the hill I had no numbers to call
Went down to the bar gonna prove myself when I saw her sittin' alone
Her man was working those Friday nights and I was out here on the road
Then I offered her a drink I guess we had a few
She showed me pictures of her family and I showed her mine too

And she said you've got somebody and I got somebody
What are we doing here
This scene was fun when we were single and young
Now we're just fighting the fear
You got somebody I got somebody why can't we go home
When you're trying to prove you still got what it takes
You're afraid to walk out alone
You got somebody and I got somebody why don't we go home

I saw past her face and to the rest of the place
All the eyes were looking at me
Most of them thought she'd bought my lies gonna take her home with me
I wondered how many had someone trusting them while they were away
Lonely faces with something to hide and I felt like I wanted to say

You've got somebody and I got somebody
What are we doing here
This scene was fun when we were single and young
Now we're just fighting the fear
You got somebody I got somebody why can't we go home
When you're trying to prove you still got what it takes
You're afraid to walk out alone
You got somebody and I got somebody why don't we go home

You've got somebody and I got somebody...

All I Want And Need Forever

Dennis Payne

© Gary S Paxton, Pub, BMI

All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I

When I'm down and feel discouraged
You're always there to give me courage
Every day you make me glad just to be alive
You're my companion when I'm lonely
You're the one and you're the only
Hand in hand we'll walk together side by side

All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I

You and I we have each other
To explore and to discover
Everything that came before left behind
You have chased away my sorrow
I look forward for tomorrow
Knowing we'll be together you and I

All I want and need forever...
[ instrumental ]
All I want and need forever...

He Must Be Lovin' You Right

Shirl Milete - David Byrd - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

What a small world but it's sure nice to see you again
You've changed since you told me goodbye
I never saw you lookin' so fine
I'll bet you forgot how to cry

There's a warm glow around you that I've never seen
I guess someone showed you the light
That I never could you're sure lookin' good
He must be lovin' you right

He must be lovin' you right
I loved you wrong and I'm sorry I done you
The way that I did but you're sure lookin' good
He must be lovin' you right

For your sake I'm glad the rest goes unsaid
He must be lovin' you right

The Rock I'm Leaning On

Chris Ryder - Vernon Reed

© Window Music, BMI

When I wake up in the morning you're the first thing on my mind
And I don't know why he treated you unkind
To him you were only another stepping stone
But to me you're the rock I'm leaning on

The rock that I am leaning on was always in his way
And I won't ever understand why he turned you away
To him you were only another stepping stone
But to me you're the rock I'm leaning on

You're my most prized possession you were nothing at all to him
When he gave you up I took the best part of his life
If he had loved you better you wouldn't be here in my arms
Oh but now you're the rock I'm leaning on

The rock that I am leaning on was always in his way
And I won't ever understand why he turned you away
To him you were only another stepping stone
But to me you're the rock I'm leaning on
Yes to me you're the rock I'm leaning on

She's Gone

Clarence White - Jan Paxton

© Gary S Paxton, Pub, BMI

Flowers shouldn't bloom in Spring
Why don't birds refuse to sing
Sunbeams shouldn't bring the dawn
She's gone

Mountains shouldn't stand so tall
Summer shouldn't turn to Fall
How can anything go on
She's gone

They saw my darlin' slipping silently away
Her restless spirit took her love from me one day

Everything in life should change
Don't they know it's not the same
Can't they feel that somethin's wrong
She's gone
[ instrumental ]
(She's gone) she's gone

Shake Rattle And Roll

Charles Calhoun

© Progressive Music, BMI

Get out of that bed and wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed and wash your face and hands
Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans

Well you're wearin' those dresses and the sun come shinin' through
Yes you're wearin' those dresses the sun come shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes all this belongs to you

I believe to my soul you're the Devil in nylon hose
I believe to my soul you're the Devil in nylon hose
Yeah the harder I work the faster my money goes

I said shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Well you never do right to save your doggone soul
[ instrumental ]
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well I can look at you tell you ain't no child no more yeah

I said shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right to save my doggone soul

I been over the hill and way down underneath
I been over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes and you make me grit my teeth

I said shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right to save my doggone soul

Sarah's Eyes

Shirl Milete - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

I found her in the mornin' sunshine standin' by the road
She said she was a traveller with no place to go
I told her I was goin' there and offered her a ride
I was taken with the look in Sarah's eyes

We laughed and talked and told yeah other everything we knew
And we made love in the warm sunshine that afternoon
She had no strings or hang-ups and we found a natural high
When I made the lovelight shine in Sarah's eyes

I said I'm so glad I found you
She said arms feel so right around you
I will always love you
There'll be no other love in Sarah's eyes

Time sure takes its time when you got no place else to be
And purpose takes the pleasure out of bein' free
We traveled light and we never once looked back or wondered why
Till I saw a troubled look in Sarah's eyes

Then on a cold night in Chicago she lay cryin' in my arms
Her fever raged and burned as the new life in her formed
Then just before she left this world she smiled and said goodbye
I watched the soul take flight from Sarah's eyes

And I cried I will always love you
And she said I'll be waiting for you
Until we're back together
No light will ever shine in Sarah's eyes

Took It Like A Man Cried Like A Baby

Rory Bourke - Charlie Black - Skippy Barrett

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

The woman was kind to reveal her deception
Lately there'd been someone new
A man's got his pride and I'm no exception
I lied when I told her that I had too

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone

Well making it easy was my sole intention
I could see she was torn apart
With that in mind I neglected to mention
Just how badly she broke my heart

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone

They say that the ultimate act of a lover
Is to think of the other and not yourself
As long as she's happy then nothing else matters
Too bad she's happy with someone else

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone

Took it like a man and cried like a baby...

Till I'm Over Gettin' Over You

Gary S. Paxton - Shirl Milete - Vern Gosdin

© Garpax Music, ASCAP

Wish I could tell you that everything's alright
You're free to go if you please
Wish I could wish you the best in the world
And hope you'll be happy with him

There ain't a part of my heart that ain't hurtin'
And there's nothin' I can do
But curse you and scorn you and hate you and love you
Till I'm over gettin' over you

I hope you'll forgive me till I can forgive you
For breakin' my poor heart in two
But I'll curse you and scorn you and hate you and love you
Till I'm over gettin' over you
[ instrumental ]
Wish I could be like those heroes on TV
Just kiss you off with a smile
But I'm not the type and I can't play the part
I'd have to lie if I did

Cause there's not a part of my heart that ain't hurtin'
And there's nothin' left to do
But curse you and scorn you and hate you and love you
Till I'm over gettin' over you

I hope you'll forgive me till I can forgive you
Cause there's nothin' else I can do
But curse you and scorn you and hate you and love you
Till I'm over gettin' over you

Fifteen Hundred Times A Day

Cathy Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

I'm learning how to live my life without you
My friends say I've improved in every way
And darling I don't ever think about you
More than fifteen hundred times a day

Fifteen hundred times a day I've got you on my mind
And trying to forget you takes up all the other time
I've cried a million tears since you went away
And been lonely fifteen hundred times a day
[ instrumental ]
I wish I could have seen the warning signals
If they were there I looked the other way
While someone else took over your affection
I've been lonely fifteen hundred times a day

Fifteen hundred times a day I've got you on my mind
And trying to forget you takes up all the other time
I've cried a million tears since you went away
And been lonely fifteen hundred times a day

If you'll come back I promise you girl you'll hear me say
I love you fifteen hundred times a day
