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

Break My Mind

John D. Loudermilk

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
If you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind
No I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind

Baby oh baby
Let me take your suitcase off that scale in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
If you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind...
[ instrumental ]
(Break break my mind)
[ instrumental ]
Break my mind break my mind...

Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind
If you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind

It Started All Over Again

Gary S. Paxton - Kay Milete - Jim Lust

© Garpax Music, ASCAP

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

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

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...

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 love light 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

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

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

Never My Love

Donald Addrisi - Dick Addrisi

© Blackwood Music, BMI

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love (never my love) never my love

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love (never my love) never my love

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends (you depend) on you (on me)
You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require your love
Never my love (never my love) never my love (never my love)
[ instrumental ]
(Never my love)

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life (all my life) with me (with you)
You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love (never my love) never my love
(Never my love) never my love (never my love)

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...
