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

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

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

I Can Tell By The Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight)

Sandy Pinkard - Robb Strandlund

I can see every time I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words you make me understand what's on your mind
The rhythm of your body close to mine
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong

I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong

I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Ooh ooh I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Oh I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Today My World Slipped Away

Mark Wright - Vern Gosdin

We made it final today
I gave you all I had you made your get away
All the love we once made
Turned to memories 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 going to be so hard to make a new start

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

All my friends say I'll make it alright
I'll recover and start a new life
But that'll be so hard to do
Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you

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

Way Down Deep

Max D. Barnes - Max T. Barnes

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...

Slow Burnin' Memory

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

You taught me how to love you
Now you expect me to forget you
After all the promises we made
So I tell my heart it's over this hurt can't last forever
Just until the heartaches fad away

You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

The day you said goodbye I began to realize
It would take a while for my broken heart to mend
I had hoped that you were dealing
With the same heartaches I'm feeling
Maybe our love was just dying to live

You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

You got a slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

Two Lovely Hearts (Out Of Hand)

Buddy Cannon - Robert Jones - Vern Gosdin

I was sittin' all alone when you came strollin' in
Hypnotized as you went walking by
My heart began to pound I ask her to sit down
And I saw something special in your eyes

Now it's you and me dancin' together
Swaying to the music of the band
Just you and me laughing and talking
Lost in the way we're feeling
Two lonely hearts out of hand out of hand

It's hard to believe but I believe we've found
One thing everybody's looking for
The band's already gone but the music lingers on
Sounds like love's knocking at the door

Now it's you and me dancin' together
Using that ol' jukebox for the band
Girl it's you and me holding each other

Lost in the love we're feeling
Two lonely hearts out of hand
Two lonely hearts out of hand out of hand

Time Stood Still

Robert Jones

You made my world go round
But now it's upside down
Time stood still
When you said goodbye

You made my heart complete
Then broke it at my feet
Time stood still
When you said goodbye

And now the seasons don't change
The days have no names today is like yesterday
I lean on the wine but your memories
Like time baby won't stay away

To get you off my mind
Just takes a little time
But time stood still
When you said goodbye

And now the seasons don't change
The days have no names today is like yesterday
I lean on the wine but your memories
Like time baby won't stay away

To get you off my mind
Just takes a little time
But time stood still
When you said goodbye

Dim Lights Thick Smoke (And Loud Loud Music)

Joe Maphis - Max Fidler - Rose Lee Maphis

© Comet Music, BMI

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man

A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
The only home you know is that bar down the street

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man

Drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Go run and have your fun you think you played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart

Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man

What Would Your Memories Do

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon

What would your memories do
If they didn't have my mind to run through
If they didn't have my heart to break in two
Oh what would your memories do

I wonder what would happen if one morning
Your memories woke up to find my mind gone
Would they go as crazy without me as I have without you
Would they last as long

If someday they found the door to my mind
Had been locked from inside by my heart
What would they do if they couldn't use you any longer
To tear me apart

What would your memories do
If they didn't have my mind to run through
If they didn't have my heart to break in two
Oh what would your memories do
Oh what would your memories do

I Wonder Where We'd Be Tonight

Jim Sales - Vern Gosdin

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

It's Only Love Again

Tim Krekel

I've heard that word before heard it whispered on the barroom floors
I've seen it carved on wooden doors down dark hallways
What's so special about that word so common and so often heard
That could give someone like me the nerve to say always

It's only love it's only love
It's only love again

I've seen that special look make an heart an open book
And I remember the time it took my breath away
And I've seen how a fire can start make a chill from the coldest heart
How it feels when it falls apart the price you pay

It's only love it's only love
It's only love again

Tell me what's so special about this now
I've seen it all before and still somehow
I hear your voice and see you smile and fall again

It's only love it's only love
It's only love again

It's only love it's only love
It's only love again

Was It Just The Wine

Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin

Yeah we laughed and talk and joke a while
Yeah we drank a few
Yet I waltz across the dance floor with you

Did we look each other in the eye
Did we see a sign
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine

Or was it just the wine
That made me break right down
And cry with the blues
Or was it just a memory of someone
Before you're tellin' me we're through

Did I hold your body close to mine
Did we make promises till the end of time
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine

Or was it just the wine
That made me break right down
And cry with the blues
Or was it just the memory of someone
Before you're tellin' me we're through

Did I hold your body close to mine
Did we make promises till the end of time
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine

I Know The Way To You By Heart

Tony Laiolo

As a boy I believed it was best just to leave
With a shirt on my back and my heart on my sleeve
It was time I was out on my own
So I left you and I left home

And I've slept in some cars and I've slept in some bars
And I've spelt in the yard of some fast falling stars
But there ain't been one dream that's come true
Since I left home since I left you

In the cold just one memory's warm
And in the dark just one light comes on
Though I'm lost there's one thing I found
I know the way to you I know the way to you by heart

I know what I'm feeling for you is real
Like the palm of my hand on this old steering wheel
And I'm still on the road I've come down
But thanks to you I'm homeward bound

In the cold just one memory's warm
And in the dark just one light comes on
Though I'm lost there's one thing I found
I know the way to you I know the way to you by heart

I know the way to you I know the way to you I know the way to you by heart
I know the way to you I know the way to you I know the way to you by heart
I know the way to you I know the way to you I know the way to you by heart
Yes I know the way to you by heart

Jesus Hold My Hand

Albert E. Brumley

As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the Christ of Calvary

This would be my prayer dear Lord each day
To help me do the best I can
For I need the light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus hold my hand

Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land protect me by Thy power
Hear my feeble plea O Lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
Blessed Jesus hold my hand

Let me travel in the light divine
That I may see the blessed way
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
And sing redemption's song some day

I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever firmly take a stand
As I onward go and daily meet the foe
Blessed Jesus hold my hand

Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land protect me by Thy power
Hear my feeble plea O Lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
Blessed Jesus hold my hand

When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
