Nickels And Dimes And Love

Johnny McRae - Steve Clark

Remember when pocket change was all we had
And all those calls from the corner phone booth collect to mom and dad
And that old worn out couch was called our bed
When out cuisine was pork and beans baloney and day old bread

Remember that damn old car that kept on breaking down
And all the times it left me stranded thumbing all over town
And that old weekly paycheck just never stretched enough
Back in the times of nickles and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true
Sometimes it wasn't easy but somehow we made it through
And when I get to thinking times are touch
I remember the times of nickles and dimes and love
Oh those good old times of nickles and dimes and love

Remember digging through you old purse in hopes we'd get
Enough change for an RC Cola or a pack of cigarettes
Now we've got almost everything that we were dreaming of
Back in the times of nickles and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true
Sometimes it wasn't easy but somehow we made it through
And when I get to thinking times are touch
I remember the times of nickles and dimes and love
Oh those good old times of nickles and dimes and love
Together we sure made some dreams come true
Sometimes it wasn't easy but somehow we made it through
And when I get to thinking times are touch
I remember the times of nickles and dimes and love

Do you remember those good old times of nickles and dimes and love

Back When

Hugh Prestwood

© Window Music, BMI

Lately it seems like we don't give much thought
As to what matters and what matters not
We cut each other we don't cut no slack
We don't give in and we don't take it back
We stop to love each other now and then
That ain't the way it used to be back when

Back when these cloudy heart were sunny skies
And there were stars not teardrops in these eyes
We wouldn't even let the moon get blue
Darling I swear we've got to get back to back when

Now we've not gone so far we can't go back
We've only jumped a little off this track
No lovers ever loved each other more
We've always been the cause we're fighting for
I'm still the fool for you I've always been
You're still the girl that hung the moon back then

Back when these cloudy heart were sunny skies
And there were stars not teardrops in these eyes
We wouldn't even let the moon get blue
Darling I swear we've got to get back to back when

Way back in my memories
I seem to recall that we were meant to be

Back when these cloudy heart were sunny skies
And there were stars not teardrops in these eyes
We wouldn't even let the moon get blue
Darling I swear we've got to get back to back when

Oh get back to back when

Where The Tall Glass Grows

Kerry Phillips - Andy Spooner - Randy Boudreaux

There's three bedrooms
Hardwood floors and the kitchen's new
It's got everything a family needs
With a backyard view

Ask anyone where it is
Everybody knows who used to live
Where the tall grass grows

A couple who lived there before
They kept it off
But since they left that big old yard
Looks a little rough

And God I miss that little boy
Who always kept and mowed
Wish they'd still live
Where the tall grass grows

So come by and get the kid
Go make yourself at home
Take all the time you need
Wish I could come along

But I'd truly be under fire
And crawl across its floor
And to face those burning memories
Where the tall grass grows

Yes I'd truly be under fire
Crawl across its floor
And to face those burning memories
Where the tall grass grows
Can't go back and face those memories
Where the tall grass grows

Bury Me In A Jukebox

Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin - Les Reed

I've been hanging in here every night since you've been gone
This old honky tonk's become my home away from home
I even got my favorite chair it always sits right here
There by the jukebox where I don't feel so alone
Every time I put my money in I hear the saddest song
My friends on the jukebox don't mind if I sing along

So bury me in a jukebox when I die
Every time I think of her I get so lonesome I could cry
And it takes me up to Heaven when they play A-11
Bury me in a jukebox when I die

We used to have our favorite songs to listen to
Till I came home with no one home to come home to
Now I turn my radio on there's all my favorite songs
Just like me they all lost someone just like you
Those DJ friends of mine are keeping me from dying
Knowing I don't hurt alone is what keeps me alive

So bury me in a jukebox when I die
Every time I think of her I get so lonesome I could cry
And it takes me up to Heaven when they play A-11
Bury me in a jukebox when I die

And it takes me up to Heaven when they play A-11
Bury me in a jukebox when I die

Any Old Miracle

Walt Aldridge - Gary Nicholson - Donnie Fritts

It's late, and I sure do hate to bother you
But I know you're the only one
Who knows what I've been goin' through

It's her keepin' me up all night again
And Lord I just had to call on you
To ask a favor of a friend

Any ol' miracle that you could send me down
Don't go to too much trouble Lord
What ever you might have around
Cause I'm never gettin' over her
Without some help from you
I'm gonna need a miracle
Any ol' miracle will do

Oh Lord I know so many others stand and need
You've got troubles to attend to
And you've got hungry mouths to feed

But listen to me Lord
I don't mean to take too much of your time
Please find me one small miracle
To heal this heart of mine

Any ol' miracle that you could send me down...

I Like My Country Music Kinda Rock

Vern Gosdin - Robin Taylor

I fell in love with Faded Love Bob Wills is still the king
Then '55 came alive with Elvis on the scene
Rhythm and blues Blue Suede Shoes and Love Me Tenderly
And the history they were making got me hooked on Jerry Lee

I like my music when it's hot
Something with a feeling says a lot
If it can make you laugh and cry
Then I'll take all you've got
I like my country music kinda rock

Now there's been a change in western swing
But ol' George keeps 'em Strait
And that houndog sound is still around
They just brought it up to date
They raised the heat on the same ol' beat
And again they're number one
And I'm checkin' in with my DJ friends
To see what Brooks has done

Oh I like my music when it's hot
Something with a feeling says a lot
If it can make you laugh and cry
Then I'll take all you've got
Cause I like my country music kinda rock

I still love ol' Hank
And I still like the Rolling Stones a lot
Got to have my country music kinda rock

Two Good People With A Love Gone Bad

Dean Dillon - Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin

A custom made house, a his and her garage
Big swimmin' pool in our back yard
We've got everythin' thing is we're sad
Oh we're just two good people with a love gone bad

Our friends they all think, they think we got it made
With all our success is just a big masquerade
To get what we got Lord, it took all that we had
Oh we're just two good people with a love gone bad

We're just two good people lovin' the wrong people
No feelin's for each other like we once had
We're just two people cheatin' on two people
Oh we're just two good people with a love gone bad
Oh we're just two good people with a love gone bad

What Are We Gonna Do About Me

Vern Gosdin - John Northrup

There we were it was a cold and bitter night
Going through our golden memories oh what a sight
I'll take the pickup you take the car
I'll find my own place you stay where you are
We had it worked out till somebody turned on the light

And down the hall came our little boy
Pulling his red wagon full of his favorite toys
And asking the question that brought us to our knees
He said mama and daddy what are we gonna do about me

There we were trying to please our son
Making everything look just right where he's concerned
There on his face we could see the mistakes
That two selfish people were about to make
What we thought was over just started all over again

When down the hall came our little boy
Pulling his red wagon full of his favorite toys
And asking the question that brought us to our knees
He said mama and daddy what are we gonna do about me
He said mama and daddy what are we gonna do about me

Gone In A Heartbeat

James Hooker - Russell Smith

I've lived with love
And I've lived without
And I've cried enough
To know what I'm talkin' about
When I tell you you better watch out

Love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay
You can think everything is fine
Wake up just in time to see you love and your life walk away

You say she's one of a kind
And the only woman for you
Well son you better keep that in mind
And let her know you love her too
You better make certain whatever you do

Cause love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay
You can think everything is fine
Wake up just in time to see you love and your life walk away

Just hurt her one too many times
Treat her too unkind and then been go away
Leave her on her own
And your love will be gone gone in one heartbeat
And leave your poor heart beating all alone

Your love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay
You can think everything is fine
Wake up just in time to see you love and your life walk away

Your love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay
You can think everything is fine
Wake up just in time to see you love and your life walk away
Your love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay
You can think everything is fine
Wake up just in time to see you love and your life walk away
Your love'll be gone in a heartbeat
If love don't think you want it to stay

A Better Time To Say Goodbye

Dean Dillon - Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin

Clouds in the sky never looked so gray
You've been saving up your leaving for a rainy day
You couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye
From my eyes the pain keeps falling through
Cause in my heart I know I'm losing you
You couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye

There's a perfect place in time for everything
A place in time to cheer me up
No better place for me for losing everything
For you no better time for walking out

I couldn't have timed it any better myself
If it had been me looking for someone else
You couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye

There's a perfect place in time for everything
A place in time to cheer me up
No better place for me for losing everything
For you no better time for walking out

I couldn't have timed it any better myself
If it had been me looking for someone else
You couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye
Oh you just couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye
