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

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

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...

That Just About Does It

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

Every night you go to bed crying
There's nothing left to do when love is dying
So before the whole world knows how we're hurtin'
Don't you think it's time we pulled the curtains

So many times I talked you out of leavin'
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
I guess we've tried and failed once too often
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking

That just about does it don't it
That'll just about kill it won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use
That just about does it don't it

It's sad to think that words could come between us
And what I said God knows I didn't mean it
It's time we realized this time it's over
It's tearing us apart to stay together

And that just about does it don't it
That'll just about kill it won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use
That just about does it don't it

Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use
That just about does it don't it

This Ain't My First Rodeo

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Vern Gosdin

You say you're mama called and you must go
She's down in the bed and needs you so
And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not
But honey ain't your mama sick a lot

Lately you're head hurts every night
Could it be you wear your clothes too tight
Since you don't seem to hear or see a thing I say or do
Then I know there's nothing I can do for you

This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

You're telling me you lost you're wedding band
Somehow you say it slipped right off you're hand
And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door
You say it's just some old things you don't wear no more

I didn't make it all the way through school
But my mama didn't raise any fool
I may not be the Einstein of our time
But honey I'm not dumb and I'm not blind

This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
Honey this ain't my first rodeo

Tanqueray

Hank Cochran - Mack Vickery - Vern Gosdin

Once again I slip back in the gin and settle in
Oh my bottle and me sail out to sea to meet her again
Than El Cafe Khartoum near a quiet lagoon
Where we played and played
All the ladies sing your Caribbean dreams drinking Tanqueray

Tanqueray take me away
You're a time machine that I need day by day
Tanqueray take me away
Each time that I need her gets sweeter and sweeter
Take me away Tanqueray

Morning comes takes me from another night with you
So I hurry through what I have to do to get back to you
That El Cafe Khartoum near a quiet lagoon
Where we played and played
All the ladies sing your Caribbean dreams drinking Tanqueray

Tanqueray take me away
You're a time machine that I need day by day
Tanqueray take me away
Each time that I need her gets sweeter and sweeter
Take me away Tanqueray

Each time that I need her gets sweeter and sweeter
Take me away Tanqueray

I'm Still Crazy

Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin - Steve Gosdin

Well I woke up one morning with a note up on my chest
It said I'm gone for good you're no longer with the best
I never dreamed there'd ever be another made for you
So I just went crazy there was nothing left to do

I used to be crazy over you
Nobody else could move me like you used to
I had to be out of my mind thinking I'd soon be over you
But I'm still crazy and I'm not over you

When the bad news finally hit me lord it hurt me to the bone
I was just a fool to think you could be just a little bit gone
But it would be easy it wouldn't be hard to forget
Little did I know that I hadn't seen nothing yet

I used to be crazy over you
Nobody else could move me like you used to
I had to be out of my mind thinking I'd soon be over you
But I'm still crazy and I'm not over you

Oh I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
Oh I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
Oh I'm still crazy and I'm not over you

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

Right In The Wrong Direction

Hank Cochran - Mack Vickery - Vern Gosdin

Well your office called to say you wouldn't be long
Since when did your boss get a jukebox of his own
When I called to see how long you'd be they said you'd been long gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction if you wanna come home

Well you're leaving clues that any ole fool can see
Honey you're the fool if you think your foolin' me
If you wanna go just let me know we can sure enough get it all
You're headed right in the wrong direction if you wanna come home

If you want to keep your home you better straighten up your act
Cause honey I can love you I can even help you pack
If you turn around and come home now I just might not be gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna come home
Well your headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna come home

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
