Do You Believe Me Now

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

Don't you think you should have called to tell me you were coming down
Oh you look so out of place on this troubled side of town
It's a place where losers go when they know there's nothing left
And after losing you I just lost the will to live

Do you believe me now I told you time and time again
My heart and soul is your hands do you believe me now
Do you believe me now look at the living I endure
I ain't nothing without you do you believe me now

I don't know what changed your mind, come-on ask if this is real
I don't know what if you're a dream I only know how good it feels
If you could find it in your heart to say the fire for me still burns
I'll find a place to turn around down this road of no return

Do you believe me now I told you time and time again...

Tight As Twin Fiddles

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon

I grew up on western swing
Bob Wills had me hooked early in my teens
A fiddle was the only thing I put my fingers on
Faded love was my love till you came along

Oh, now we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
The fiddle we play with came straight from the man
We fiddled around oh but we both understand
That we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band

Here's to the fiddler playin' at my side
Now don't tell me Bob Wills sound ain't alive
A Maiden's Prayer twin fiddles let it flow
Her harmony's on right or wrong lets me know

Oh that we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
The fiddle we play with came straight from the man
We fiddle around oh but we both understand
That we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
We're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band

Is It Raining At Your House

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Vern Gosdin

Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you is it cloudy all the time
Do you tremble when the phone rings and you think I'm on the line
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine

Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sun shines
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine

Is it raining at your place just like it is over here
If it is then sweetheart like me I know you're scared
I just called you to console you like any old friend would do
Is it raining at your house and by the way I still love you

Set 'em Up Joe

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Vern Gosdin

They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor

Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours

Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor
Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor

All my neon neighbors they like what I play
'Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run a needle through Walking The Floor

Every night I run a needle through Walking The Floor
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours

Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor
Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor
I said set 'em up Joe and play 'Walking The Floor

There Ain't Nothing (Just Ain't Nothing Right)

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Vern Gosdin

We still share the same old bed we still lay there side by side
Love's either playin' dead or is no longer alive
Cause girl it's been so long since we made love alive
But there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right

Oh there ain't nothin' wrong there ain't nothin' right
We're still holdin' on we just ain't holdin' on that tight
And I can't put my finger on what's wrong let alone you at night
Oh there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right

We swear that we still do but I know as well as you we don't
We're lyin' in the truth lyin' next to what we want
And if there is no wall then why are there two sides
Whoa there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right

Oh there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right
We're still holdin' on we just ain't holdin' on that tight
And I can't put my finger on what's wrong let alone you at night
Oh there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right
Oh there ain't nothin' wrong there just ain't nothin' right

Chiseled In Stone

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

You ran cryin' to the bedroom
I ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven gone to hell
The words we spoke in anger
Just tore my world apart
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself

Then that old man sat down beside me
And looked me in the eye
And said son I know what you're going through
You ought to get down on your knees
And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to

You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you lived through the story
That's still livin' in me
And you don't know about sadness
Till you faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone

So I brought these pretty flowers
Hoping you would understand
Sometimes a man is such a fool
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing without you

You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you lived through the story
That old man just told me
And you don't know about sadness
Till you faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone
You don't know about lonely
Till it's chiseled in stone

Who You Gonna Blame It On This Time

Hank Cochran - Vern Gosdin

Oh you say that it wasn't your fault the reason that you're late
You had some good excuses and your alibis are great
You think by now you would have used up all your lies
Who are you gonna blame it on this time

Get out in the open so I can plainly see
You have never failed at making me believe
Oh I can't wait to hear I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time

Oh I want to believe you and I do every time
It's what keeps us together and that's fine
So I can't wait to hear I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time

Oh I want to believe you and I do every time
It's what keeps us together and that's fine
So I can't wait to hear I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time
So who are you gonna blame it on this time

It's Not Over Yet

Hank Cochran - Vern Gosdin

On the bed lies your pillow it's been there since you've been gone
And in the closet your favorite shoes you used to wear
And the perfume that I bought you it still lingers everywhere
Somethin' tells me it's not over yet

On the night stand is your picture the one I've held since you've been gone
The same picture you gave to me when we first met
It don't hold me in return but it says please don't forget
And it tells me it's not over yet

It's not over till the memories of you have all died
Till the tears from my eyes have finally dried

It's not over till that phone rings and I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me it's not over yet
It's not over till that phone rings and I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me it's not over yet
And hear you tell me it's not over yet

Nobody Calls From Vegas Just To Say Hello

Hank Cochran - Brenda Burch - Vern Gosdin

It's three o'clock in the morning phone's a ringing off the wall
It's been months since you left funny that you'd call
I know you're needing something your money running low
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello

Oh I'm tired of holding to this phone listening to your lies
I'm just about to lose control this is my last good-bye
The next sound that you hear is gonna be me letting go
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello

Oh money don't grow on trees
You can't reap what you don't sow
I may be crazy but I ain't stupid and I know
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello

Oh I want to believe you when I pick up the phone
You said you called just to see what was going on
That casino in the background tells me buddy don't you know
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello

Oh money don't grow on trees
You can't reap what you don't sow
I may be crazy but I ain't stupid and I know
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello
Nobody calls from Vegas just to say hello

I Guess I Had Your Leavin' Coming

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Buddy Cannon

I broke your heart, I made you cry
Didn't raise a hand to wipe a tear from your eye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming

To tell the truth, I told you lies
Can't say I blame you girl for telling me goodbye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming

I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right being left behind
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming

I let you down, one time too much
If I were you I'd leave me too enough's enough
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming

I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right being left behind
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
