Stand Up

Sonny Throckmorton - Bruce Channel - Ricky Rector

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

Ever had a hot date one of those can't wait
And things go a little too far
In the middle of a good night have you ever got right
In the back seat of your car

I said stand up have you ever been there
Stand up identify
Stand up tell us all about it
Stand up testify

Ever met a woman late night roamin'
Party till your money was gone
Smilin' Mona Lisa loaded up your visa
And took a bartender home

I said stand up have you ever been there...
[ instrumental ]
Thought I was a he man do it just for me man
Knew just what to do
Thought I was a hero she rated me a zero
Said honey child you ain't true

I said stand up have you ever been there...
Stand up have you ever been there...
Stand up have you ever been there...

Reminders

Kent M. Robbins - John Jarrard

© Irving Music, BMI

I took her picture down her mem'ry still hangs around
I can't throw that away
I turn the radio on seems her favorite song
Is all that they play
The postman keeps bringin' me her mail
And I'm still gettin' her calls

Out of the blue I get reminders little things she left behind her
Always waiting there to take me back to the way it used to be
I keep getting these reminders I don't have to look to find her
Everywhere I turn her memory is looking back at me

I would have thought that time would heal this heart of mine
That ain't happening yet
There's nothing I can do to keep these used to be blues
From turning my head
A stranger passes wearing her perfume
A friend just mentions her name

Out of the blue I get reminders little things she left behind her...

There's a dress or two a hangin' in the closet still
I should throw 'em away and someday I will

Reminders little things she left behind her
Always waiting there to take me back to the way it used to be
There's no escaping these reminders I don't have to look to find her
Everywhere I turn her memory is looking back at me

Reminders reminders reminders oh reminders

Make It With The Blues

Herb McCullough

© Walden Holler Music, BMI

I'd hate to think I'd ever have to make it without you
I might rise above your leaving get on with my living but I'd lose
I could make it with my music but without you still lose
If I ever had to make it without you I'd have to make with the blues

I could grab a piece of blue sky be as lonely as a quarter moon
I could write my music si-fi wind up with blackholes in the tunes
I could stay high even to fly and never get above missing you
If I ever had to make it without you I'd have to make with the blues
[ instrumental ]
I could grab a piece of blue sky and be as lonely as a quarter moon...
If I ever had to make it without you I'd have to make with the blues

If You Still Want A Fool Around

Kent M. Robbins

© Irving Music, BMI

There's a full moon out tonight and I could be with you
But there's a late flight out tonight and I could fly away
Baby it's up to you I've been a fool and I deserve the blues

There's a telephone by your bed and you could call me
There's a mailbox on my porch and you could write me off
Ev'rything's up to you I've been a fool and I've got no good excuse

But if you still wanna fool around
I promise this fool will settle down
Just give me a chance to prove it
I'll be a perfect fool for you
If you still wanna fool around

There's a hot band playin' downtown we could go dancin'
But you may never wanna get that close again
Cause Baby I've done you wrong
And I know you're afraid to dance to the same ole song
There's a loveboat settin' sail and we could make it
Or you could leave me up a creek and it'd serve me right
The way I made you cry you could stay good riddance adios bye bye

But if you still wanna fool around...
But if you still wanna fool around...

There's a full moon out tonight and I could be with you
There's a telephone by your bed you could call
There's a loveboat settin' sail we could make it

If you still wanna fool around
If you still wanna fool around
If you still wanna fool around
If you still wanna fool around

Shoe String

Sam Hogin - David Gillon

© Colgems Music, ASCAP

He lived down by the railroad track
Had an wood stove in a one room shack
Shoe string was the only name he had
When I skipped school he'd take me fishin'
Sittin' on creek bank talkin' and wishin'
Things were good whenever times got bad

And the people say shoe string you ain't got no money
Shoe string you can't hang around here
Shoe string you got your hat on backwards
He knows more than most folks do
But he don't talk unless you ask him to

When the winter comes and the wind blows mean
Shoe string hops that southbound train
Rides it down below that Florida line
Well he's a laying low and picking fruit
Sleeping in his worn shoes
But he'll always come back summer time

And the folks say shoe string you ain't got no money...

Last time I looked and found him gone
Folks said he's in an old folks home
Shoe string done retired on Uncle Sam
He's living it up in his private room
Playing checkers and eatin' prunes
Shoe string ain't no ordinary man

Still the people say shoe string you ain't got no money...
Shoe string you ain't got no money...

Thank You Nadine

Lionel Delmore

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

Thank you Nadine for all you've been
And the sunshine you brought in
You're the best companion this ol' boy has seen
I feel like I'm in heaven with you as my queen
Thank you Nadine

When I was workin' at sawmill for sixteen hours of a day
Nadine would always fix my lunch and see me on my way
Thank you Nadine for all you've done
You stayed right beside me when the times were lean
And made me feel important when I was in between
Thank you Nadine
[ instrumental ]
Nadine is such a lady she gave the church sometime
They put her name out on the board for a job she did so fine
Thank you Nadine for all you've done
You're the best companion this ol' boy have seen
I feel like I'm in heaven with you as my queen
Thank you Nadine

Thank you Nadine for all you've done
And the sunshine and all the fun
You're the best companion this ol' boy has seen
I feel like I'm in heaven with you as my queen
Thank you Nadine

Worn Out Shoe

Dave Moordigan

© BMG Songs, ASCAP

My old blue jeans feel as fine and fit my simple life just right
But they start to fade next to your champagne by candle light
Here we are together tell me how can this be
What's a high heel girl like you doin' with a worn out shoe like me

What's a high heel girl like you do with a worn out shoe like me
Now I like a down home fiddle tune while you like a symphony
They turn their heads when we walk by I'm anything but pedigree
What's a high heel girl like you doin' with with a worn out shoe like me

My old pickup runs just fine it gets me there and back
But it looks a little ragged next to your new Cadillac
Now this is really something I thought I'd never see
A high heel girl like you here with a worn out shoe like me

What's a high heel girl like you doin' here...

Love Is Goin' Round

Steve Mills - Mark Geronimo

© Music City Music, ASCAP

You can see it in his bright eyes
When a child sees his father's strong side
Like the world spins love is goin' round
You can hear it if you listen
Or smell it comin' from someone's kitchen
Like the wheel turns love is goin' round

It can move you up the mountain
Out of the desert to the fountain
Pass it on and you can keep it
Love is goin' round

It can come in a gentle backslide
New baby restin' on an old life
And you can have some love is goin' round
Young lovers feel it and their hearts stop
Oh they can taste it in their teardrops
When someone leaves you love is goin' round

It can move you up to the mountain...
It can move you up to the mountain...

Doctor's Orders

Rory Bourke - Bruce Channel - Kieran Kane

© Rhythm Ranch Music, ASCAP

Doctor told me sleepin' alone ain't no good for my heart
If I don't do what he tells me to it just might break apart

You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed
You know I'm under doctor's orders that's what my doctor said

My doctor told me to find you girl and give you a kiss on sight
I'm gonna be fine but it's gonna take time and a whole lotta holding you tight

You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed...

He says you don't need pills and shots won't do
A transfusion would be useless too
Your sweet lovin' is what I need
To get my heart back on its feet

You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed...
[ instrumental ]
He said you don't need pills and shots won't do...
Oh I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed...
I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed...

Whatever Gets You Through The Night

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever makes everything all right
I'm not the kind to judge you see

What you do's all right with me
Whatever gets you through the night

Well some guys just don't care they say
Play all night and sleep all day
Then some work till the day they die
Some get rich and some get by

Some spend their lives just having fun
Some say they're gonna wait till Jesus comes
Some say that girls are their downfall
But some boys don't like girls at all

Whatever gets you through the night...

Well some like cars and fancy clothes
Some live fast and some live slow
Some spend their life searching for truth
Some come to church in a three piece suit

Well I've heard a good woman is all you need
But some guys need two or three
Some want to save the world I'm told
But some just wanna rock'n roll

Whatever gets you through the night...
Whatever gets you through the night...
