Now You're Talkin'

Ronny Scaife - Phil Thomas

© Vogue Music, BMI

You call me up and you tease me on the telephone line
You say you wanna go dancing with me tonight
But then you tell me that my place'll be alright

Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like
Now you're talkin' when you're talkin' bout lovin' me right
Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like

You're always sayin' that you like to make my dreams come true
And you know I love a hearin' them things from you
Sweet words about all the things you're gonna do

Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like...

You tell me that you want me your heart's beatin' fast
You say you're gonna love me with a love that's gonna last

Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like
Now you're talkin' when you're talkin' bout lovin' me right
Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like
Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like
Now you're talkin' when you're talkin' bout lovin' me right
Now you're talkin' talkin' bout what I like

Ride This Train

Tricia Walker

Down at the depot cun's finally sinking low waiting on the 7:15
End of an heir line gonna leave it all behind
Right into a brand new scene tired of being chained here
Time for me to disappear listen to the whistle scream
Heading for the last coast that's the place I miss the most
Casey can't you lay on the steam

My ticket didn't cost me nothing
Somebody gave it to me for free
Bout to be long gone I don't wanna go long
You can ride this train with me

Come on and ride this train
Ride this train ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now ride this train ride this train
Ride this train ride this train with me

Gotta get make my last date hope my train ain't running late
Gotta keep my schedule clean sounds a little funny
It don't mean any money you can wear a pair of old blue jeans
Friends with no relations they'll be at the station
Waiting by the record machine can't wait 'til I get there
Music playing everywhere dancing like you've never seen

My ticket didn't cost me nothing
Somebody gave it to me for free
Bout to be long gone I don't wanna go long
You can ride this train with me

Come on now ride this train
Ride this train ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now ride this train
Ride this train ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on y'all ride this train
Ride this train ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now ride this train
Ride this train ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on and ride this train
Ride this train ride this train

She's A Lover Of Lost Causes

Bob McDill - John Schweers - Tommy Rocco

© Jack and Bill Music, ASCAP

A worn out coat and a cold North wind
In a world of strangers I found a friend
She took me and this old guitar in
And loved away the chill
Chasing dreams since the day we met
She's had no complaints and no regrets
While I ain't beat old Nashville yet
But Lord she thinks I will

She's a lover of lost causes
Stray dogs and faded roses
She believes the South will rise again

She's a lover of lost causes
Worn out jeans and slow waltzes
She sees more than other people see
And somehow she can see the good in me

I spend my nights in smoky bars
Boyhood dreams they die so hard
But I can't put down this old guitar
It's all I'll ever be
Good times come and good times go
The rain falls on music road
But through it all somehow I know
She won't give up on me

She's a lover of lost causes
Stray dogs and faded roses
She believes the South will rise again

She's a lover of lost causes
Worn out jeans and slow waltzes
She sees more than other people see
And somehow she can see the good in me

Real Good Feel Good Song

Richard Fagan - Larry Alderman

© Jack and Bill Music, ASCAP

Did ya ever wake up in the mornin' nothing was a goin' right
Spent the whole night fussin' and a fightin' with your wife
Bills out in the mailbox you know that you can't pay
Then you try to leave for work and your cars been towed away

What you needed was a real good feel good song
One that makes you feel alright when everything goes wrong
One that makes you move your feet and makes you sing along
You need a real good feel good song

A friend of mine was a workin' hard savin' all his pay
Like Jesse James the IRS stole most of it away
Then he got chased by a street gang
And he finally found a phone
He called up the police and they put him on hold

What you needed was a real good feel good song...

They say music charms the savage beast and I believe it's true
Man's had it down thru' history when he's had the blues
He'd find a drum to beat on and a horn that he could blow

You know it worked for the children of a Israel
At the walls of Jericho

They brought the house down with a real good feel good song...
You need a real good feel good song

Under My Skin

Jeff Hodde

© Miniss Music, ASCAP

Sometimes I want to take her far away
And make love 'til the morning light
She's got me gotta be like a fire burning me all night
Oh it's a sin that girl is under my skin

Can't go five minutes without her messing with my brain
I feel like a stack of dominoes cause I fall for it again
Where did it begin That girl is under my skin

I feel it running through by bones like a wind going through the trees
When she holds me tight won't let go could it be love Lord I don't know
But you know can't you see don't you know
That I gotta have her kisses every second of the day
My hearts like a highway she's driving me insane
Where does it end That girl is under my skin
(That girl is under my skin)

Gonna squeeze her gonna tease her and you know
I wanna please her till the sunshine makes a new day
But you gotta understand that I feel like a blind man
Every time I look her way
I'll say it again that girl is under my skin
(That girl is under my skin)

I feel it running through by bones like a wind going through the trees...

Now don't you know can't you see don't you know
That I gotta have her kisses every second of the day
My hearts like a highway she's driving me insane
Where does it end That girl is under my skin
(That girl is under my skin that girl is under my skin
Lordy that girl is under my skin that girl is under my skin)

Hey Y'all

Stan Armor - Shelby Kennedy - Terry Thompson

© Somebody's Music, SESAC

Hey y'all, I'm all over her for good
I got back on track like I never thought I would
You'd think by now that I'd leave love alone
You get burned and you learn to make it on your own
But after all those broken hearts that I've been through
There's someone new

Hey y'all, I'm falling in love again
I fell into the fire when I jumped out of the frying pan
I bet you never thought that I would find my way back in
But hey y'all I'm falling again

Hey y'all I saw another heart like mine
And I knew I had to give it one more try
Cause this time could be the love that's gonna last
When she holds me I forget the past
I never thought this frown would turn up to a grin
Love's moving in

Hey y'all I'm falling in love again
I fell into the fire when I jumped out of the frying pan
I bet you never thought that I would find my way back in
But hey y'all I'm falling again

Hey y'all (I'm falling again)
Hey y'all (I'm falling again)
Hey y'all (I'm falling again)
Hey y'all (I'm falling again)

Henrietta

Richard Fagan - Rich Grissom - Shelby Kennedy

© Millhouse Music, BMI

I had a little honey back in my hometown
A sweet southern belle that tried to settle me down
I had to run away and try to see the world
But I ain't seen nothing like my hometown girl Henrietta

She cried when I left and tried to beg me to stay
But I was too hard-headed and I went any way
I'm here in the city trying to be a big shot
But I'm only sad and lonely because I ain't got Henrietta

Henrietta I'm on my way back home
Henrietta leave the porch light on
Henrietta baby now I see
You're the only girl in the world for me Henrietta
Henrietta

When I get back home I hope I ain't too late
To tell her that I love her and I made a mistake
She's pretty as a picture in a perfect frame
She's my sugar pie honey with the funny name Henrietta

Henrietta I'm on my way back home
Henrietta leave the porch light on
Henrietta baby now I see
You're the only girl in the world for me Henrietta
Henrietta Henrietta oh Henrietta

Sunday Mornin' Preachers

Mel McDaniel

© Mel McDaniel Music, ASCAP

Elvis won the hearts of all the world when he sang
And taught us how to love his country, rock and roll
Johnny Cash is still a wearin' black and standin' tried and true
For those of us with a tough old road to hoe
Old ... sings 'em Haggard right from this old world
So he's had to live it all to tell it man to man
... show and tell we can be different and poor as well
Still grow up to be leader of the band

But they ain't Sunday morning preachers just everyday life teachers
They don't walk with a Bible in their hand
They never shout at us in anger or even point their finger
They just do it with a song hopin' that we'll understand

The red-headed stranger is a hero to the cowboys
And he showed us with ... to us all
Old Waylon's out there a kickin' after all them outlaw years
Jimmy Dickens country class will never fall
Hank Junior's shown us we can leave our own footprints in the sand
After walkin' in his daddy's for so long
George has led us through the tears of life's mistakes and through the years
Kris told us the devil's ways were wrong

But they ain't Sunday morning preachers just everyday-life teachers...

Jump Into Love

Rich Grissom

© Eight-0-Five Music, ASCAP

Neon lights are back in style honky tonk's are going wild
It seems to me are stronger than ever these days
I'm a hard working man country music's biggest fan
And I've got a good woman we're kinda set in our ways

Lord but we have fun something new every night
We grab each other we hold on tight and
Jump jump into love

Yeah we get plum crazy on this god given gift
When we're down and we need a little lift
We just jump jump into love
We just jump jump into love jump

Evel Knievel never raised a hair like taking a climb with my baby upstairs
The farther we go the closer she moves to me
Quitting time I head for the door anticipating what's in store
The shortcut home seems like eternity

We're gonna have fun something new tonight
Grab each other and hold on tight and
Jump jump into love

Yeah we get plum crazy on this god given gift...
Yeah we get plum crazy on this god given gift...

Oh jump jump into love y'all jump jump into love
Oh jump jump into love

Bye Bye Johnny

Chuck Berry

© Arc Music, BMI

She drew out all her money from a Southern Trust
Put her baby boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Is leaving Louisiana for the golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little boy name ol' Johnny B Goode
Is gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

She's cryin' bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye Johnny
Lordy son Johnny B Goode

She remembered taking money in from gathering crops
Buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he'd play it by the railroad side
He wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfied
But never thought there'd ever come a day like this
She'd have to give that boy a goodbye kiss

She's cryin' bye bye bye bye...

She finally got the letter she's a dreamin' of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
Soon as he was married he'd bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard that locomotive roar
They'd be a standin' and a wavin' at the kitchen door

Hollerin' bye bye bye bye...
She's cryin' bye bye bye bye...
