She's Gone Gone Gone

Harlan Howard

© Wilderness Music, BMI

She said if I ever deceived her
She'd be gone before I could count ten
I guess that I didn't believe her
Cause look at the trouble I'm in

She's gone gone gone gone gone gone
Cryin' won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster than train flies
Further on down the track
[ instrumental ]
I've lost every right to be happy
But I lost the heaven I'd found
She warned me she'd leave and she left me
Before my first tear hit the ground

She's gone gone gone gone gone gone...
[ instrumental ]
If I only knew where to find her
I'd crawl there on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock's a reminder
She's one second further from me

She's gone gone gone gone gone gone...

Running Into Memories

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker - Benny Joy

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Funny I keep runnin' funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you

Met your new sweetheart today
The one who stole your love away
The love you promised always would be true
He told me everything was fine
He didn't know you once were mine
Funny I keep runnin' funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you

Runnin' into memories I know I'll regret
That everyone's a heartache I'll try to forget

Told your new sweetheart goodbye
Brushed the teardrops from my eye
And walked on down the Lonely Avenue
A fallen star fell from above
I thought of fools that whisper love
Funny I keep runnin' funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you

I Don't Trust You Anymore

Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey

© Peer Int, BMI

I don't trust you anymore

Don't shoot me that old line
Don't tell me that you're still mine
You're saying things like you said before
But I don't trust you anymore

I gave you benefit of doubt
But your love didn't prove out
We've tried so many times before
Now I don't trust you anymore

I love you and I always will
And I can't help the way I feel
I trusted you till I learned the score
Now I don't trust you anymore

We agreed when last we tried
We'd be better satisfied
Between our love they closed the door
Cause I don't trust you anymore

Now here you are back once more
With your foot back in the door
I guess you'll win like you have before
But I don't trust you anymore

I've loved you and I always will...
Now I don't trust you anymore

Preparations To Be Blue

Del Reeves - Ellen Reeves

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

I got out my old teardrops tonight
Just to try be alone again for size
I know that I'll be needing them before too long
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue

Makin' preparations to be blue
Getting ready to win I lose you
Taking an inventory of what's left of me and you
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue
[ instrumental ]
I'm locked in all your memories inside my heart
One by one I'll take 'em out and we're apart
Seein' you with him I knew my heartaches were old friends
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue

Makin' preparations to be blue...

Stranger

Wayne P. Walker - Irene Stanton

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

You were no stranger when he introduced you to me
But you pretended not to know me sweetheart
Though I tried hard not to cry I found a teardrop in my eye
When you walked off my world fell apart

What can you say when your lover becomes a stranger to you
Just hope and pray you recover that sweet love you knew
So if you ever change your mind I won't be hard to find
Stranger you're no stranger to me
[ instrumental ]
What can you say when your lover becomes a stranger to you...
Stranger you're no stranger to me

Love Looks Good On You

Jerry Shook

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

I've never seen that look in your eyes before
I've never seen that smile on your lips before
I guess I never knew what true love could do
But love sure looks good on you

I can tell he's been more than good to you
He's done more than I ever hoped to do
He's given you the look that I wanted to
And love sure looks good on you

I thought I had loved you but I see I was wrong
And now I know that in his arms is where you belong

It's been a long long time since I've seen you
And I miss you more than I meant to
So I guess I'd better go before I let it show
One more thing love sure looks good on you
Love sure looks good on you

Confused

Merle Kilgore - Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

You used me then refused me
You brought this lovesick heart so much pain
You abused me confused me
But still I love you just the same

I can recall when I came first of all
And I thought our love will never ever change
You used me confused me
But still I love you just the same
[ instrumental ]
I can recall when I came first of all...

It's Bad

Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey

© Peer Int, BMI

Well you can't grow a crop when it's dew at the plow
You can't get milk from an old dry cow
You can't keep a woman if you don't know how
It's bad when it's that a way and it's bad a way now

My crop flooded out my old cow died
My sweet woman left she was dis-satisfied
She broke my heart when she broke her vow
It's bad when it's that a way and it's bad a way now
[ instrumental ]
If a man's got a woman to fix his meals
He may make a livin' for workin' in the fields
He may be happy with the mule and plow
It's bad when it's that a way and it's bad a way now

Well I don't have a woman with love that's real
I don't have money to pay my bills
I just got heartaches and broken vows
It's bad when it's that a way and it's bad a way now

How Far Down Can I Go

Harlan Howard - Jerome Barney

© Wilderness Music, BMI

I've hurt one who loved me they don't understand
That my love is out of control
All that really matters is this bottle in my hand
How far down can I go

Tonight it's a bottom tomorrow what then
Anything that brings the happy glow
Once I loved someone I wish I could again
How far down can I go

I'd steal and use those dimes for a small glass of wine
My hands get too tremblin' so
I brought many a tear to my mama's eyes
How far down can I go
How far down can I go

I Can Tell

Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey

© Peer Int, BMI

I can't tell by the sun the time of the day
I can't tell by the moon when you go away
But I can tell when I'm holdin' you there must be someone new
There's a love another love I can tell I'm losin' you

I can't tell by the moon why you come back each time
If I could reach the stars I'd know your love was never mine
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long
That you'll break my heart again I can feel it comin' on

I can't tell right from wrong I can't tell night from day
When you're on my mind when you're away
But I can tell when I'm holdin' you there's no love in your heart
And it won't be very long that once again we'll be apart

I can't tell by the sun the time of the day
I can't tell by the moon just when you just go away
But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new
There's a love another love for I feel I'm losin' you

But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new
There's a love another love for I feel I'm losin' you

A Little Unfair

Hank Cochran - Chuck Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

You want me to love just you while you love your share
Ain't that being a little unfair
It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care
Ain't that being a little unfair

I can't see how it can be anything for me
What's mine is yours but what's yours is yours
That's how you wanted to be
You want me to wait for you till you decide to care
Ain't that being a little unfair
[ instrumental ]
I can't see how it can be anything for me...

Woman Let Me Sing You A Song

Harlan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

Woman let me sing you a song
Woman let me sing you a song
That tells how you've done me wrong
So it's your fault if it's long
Woman let me sing you a song

The neighbors say I run around
The neighbors say I run around
But baby if I do
I'm miles in back off you
Woman let me sing you a song

My banker count is almost gone
My banker count is almost gone
You're wearing furs and rings
While I wear old blue jeans
Woman let me sing you a song
[ instrumental ]
You tell your friends I drink too much
Now the whole town knows I drink too much
But the reason why I drink
Is the thought you make me think
Woman let me sing you a song

I'm leavin' and you think I'll be back
I'm leavin' but you think I'll be back
Here's my advice to you
Don't stop breathin' till I do
Woman let me sing you a song

Woman I done sang you my song
Woman I done sang you my song
