Walk That Way

Rich Grissom - Stan Munsey

© Millhouse Music, BMI

Well I've got my hat my snake skin boots pockets plumb full of spending loot
Made a beeline for the bar to check out the sights
I just sat down when looky there she was long and lean I couldn't help but stare
She'd a made Levi wanna bronze that pair tonight
She started walking my way and my heart about hit the floor
She sat down and I said could you do that just once more

Cause I love it when you walk that walk that way
Tell it like it is when you swing and sway
Every little move sure falls right into place
Baby when you talk that talk that way
I understand ever thing you say
And I love what you're saying baby when you walk that way
[ instrumental ]
Well she looked at me and I looked at her
Caught my breath then I looked some more
I said mercy me I just love the way you're made
I bet you've heard about ever line about a thousand times but if you don't mind
I got a few words of my own I'd like to say
I got a place up the road where we can pull down the shades
If you'll go that far I'd love to see you walk that way

Cause I love it when you walk that walk that way...
Lord I love it when you walk that walk that way...

Reverend Luther And The Madam

Danny Walls - Bobby Warren

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

His ole Studebaker died plumb all wore out inside
Reverend Luther slammed the door and he walked away
All he owned was on his back and his Bible in a grocery sack
A travelin' man of God preachin' for his pay

He walked ten miles through the night to a house with a scarlet light
He said a prayer and he knocked upon the door
There stood a lady dressed for sinnin' she thought he'd come to love her women
When he said I'm Reverend Luther Lord feet started hittin' the floor

Reverend Luther and the Madam the Lord and Satan was a havin' at 'em
He'd preached all his life against sin she'd spent all her life against men
Lord he quoted some Bible verses to drown out all the curses
Reverend Luther saw a challenge he thought he and the Lord could win

Of the bought and paid for pleasures that a mortal man still treasures
The touch of a lovely woman is number one
Aw the madam saw her duty so why be a judge and jury
She made Reverend Luther a man before the risin' of the sun

But the sparks set through that night turned to love by the mornin' light
And the Lord and Satan wondered which one would change their ways
Now Reverend Luther drives her Lincoln but it's not true what you're thinkin'
She's in church every Sunday when Reverend Luther kneels to pray

Reverend Luther and the Madam the Lord and Satan was a havin' at 'em
He'd preached all his life against sin she'd spend all her life against men
Now they walk through life together sharin' storms and sunny weather
Reverend Luther saw a challenge he thought he and the good Lord could win
Reverend Luther saw a challenge and the good Lord always wins

The Way You Do The Things You Do

Robert Rogers - William Robinson

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

You got a smile so bright you know you could a been a candle
I'm holdin' you so tight you know you could a been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet you know you could a been a broom
The way you smell so sweet you know you could have been some perfume

Well you could a been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell the way you do the things you do
(The way you do) oh baby

As pretty as you are you know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute you know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart you know you could have been a cool crook
And baby you're so smart you know you could have been a school book

Well you could a been anything that you wanted to...
[ instrumental ]
You made my life so rich you know you could have been some money
Baby you're so sweet you know you could have been some honey

Well you could have been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell the way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do) the way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do the way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do the way you do the things you do

Country Heart

Larry Byrom - Thom Schuyler

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Fast train next plane I don't care
Take me and wake me when you get me there
Too long in the city tryin' to play the part
It's just taking and breaking this country heart

It's a mean streeted concreted jungle here
It's a forsaken heartachin' atmosphere
Take me back to where those crystal rivers start
Where there's baseball a place for this country heart

I'm headin' south on the first train out
Does someone have a ticket to sell
I'll hit the tracks and I won't come back
And so big city farewell

Hotels and traffic jams
Hello home fires glowin' and country ham
Blue skies golden fields and crickets after dark
They are calling calling this country heart
Oh they are calling calling this country heart

The Tractor

Bruce Brown

© Matiposa Music, ASCAP

First time papa brought her home and didn't stop to give her water
He crossed a creek into the yard and a Ford's what he called her
Said she had thirty hosses but I couldn't see a one
All he did was turn a key and pull a stick to make her run
Bought her brand new man she is gleamin' in the sun
He's gonna make a livin' with a tractor
He's gonna make a livin' with a tractor

I 'member runnin' through the fields with our lunch in my hand
Gonna eat in the shade with a tractor drivin' man
He'd set the brake and turn her off and while she'd cool down
We sit and count the rows he'd plowed in the ground
He ran her ever day even after sundown
He's gonna make a livin' with a tractor
He's gonna make a livin' with a tractor

I dream some nights we ride again
Back to the very day when it all begin
I still got the Ford and I remember the man
How he made his livin' with a tractor Lawd
Papa made his livin' with a tractor

Well I'm a little older with a tractor of my own
Lawd I plow the same fields that papa rode on
Though he left two hundred acres with a deed free and clear
I gotta make 'em pay to keep away that auctioneer
Seems like it gets a little harder ever year
But I'm gonna make a livin' with a tractor
I'm gonna make a livin' with a tractor

The first time papa brought her home and didn't stop to give her water...

You Can't Play The Blues (In An Air Conditioned Room)

Richard Fagan - Gordon Kennedy

© Yellow Jacket Music, BMI

All my life I had to struggle paid some heavy dues
Squeakin' out a livin' playin' these here blues
Then one day my music made me a millionaire
I bought a big ole mansion with central heat and air
Now I got more money than I know how to use
Got everything a man could want but I ain't got the blues
Success for me can only lead to my impending doom
Cause you can't play the blues in an air conditioned room y'all

Now I was doin' better with a smaller piece of pie
With all my fame and fortune I came down in the fire
I lost the inspiration that came natural at the start
I'll have to hire a mean ole woman just to break my heart
Now my life's too easy I think I'm gettin' soft
I used to play the blues all day but now I just play golf
Now all my fame has rearranged my life and changed my tune
Cause you can't play the blues in an air conditioned room
[ instrumental ]
Now you might think I'm crazy and you might think I'm strange
But first thing in the mornin' I'm gonna make a change
I'll throw away my money I'll move back to the shack
I'll do what ever I gotta do to get the feelin' back
I know I'll be feelin' better with nothin' left to lose
Cause when times were bad the less I had the better I played the blues
I'll buy myself some tollgate wine and howl up at the moon
Cause you can't play the blues in an air conditioned room
If I should die tomorrow you can write it on my tomb
Say he couldn't play the blues in an air conditioned room y'all
Whoa whoa oh y'all

Still Got You Baby

Bob McDill - Dickey Lee

© Jack Music, BMI

Lost my wind lost my push lost my waistline then I lost my looks
But I still got you baby

Lost my timin' and I lost my touch lost my credit and I lost my luck
But I still got you baby

Whoa if I should lose the world girl it won't get me down
Nothing's gonna worry me you see as long as you're around

I lost my style lost my flare lost my drivin' lost some of my hair
But I still got you baby
[ instrumental ]
Whoa if I should lose the world girl it won't get me down...

Lost my speed lost my prime lost my youth and I lost my shine
But I still got you baby
Oh I still got you baby
Oh I still got you baby
Oh I still got you baby

Rockabilly Boy

Dennis Linde

© Combine Music, BMI

Grew up poor in the heart of the south
Livin' ever day from hand to mouth
Nobody said son what'll you be
A farmer's life lay ahead of me
One afternoon we drove into town
Somethin' turned my young life around
We heard a rumble off in the East
Looked up the road and what did we see

Rock-a-billy boys burnin' up the highway
Rock-a-billy boys makin' feet wanna dance
Rock-a-billy boys stirrin' up a good time
I said oh mama I wanna be a rock-a-billy boy

I said daddy wouldn't it be great
To travel this world in a Ford V-8
We watched them while they unpacked the car
Bass and drums and a white guitar
They played Money Honey and Blue Suede Shoes
And we all stayed 'til the dance was through
I feel asleep ridin' home in the truck
Tappin' my foot and dreamin' I was

A Rock-a-billy boy burnin' up the highway
Rock-a-billy boy makin' people wanna dance
Rock -a-billy boy stirrin' up a good time
I said oh mama I wanna be a rock-a-billy boy

Rock-a-billy boy stirrin' up a good time
I say oh mama I wanna be
I said oh mama I wanna be
I said oh mama I wanna be a rock-a-billy boy

Oklahoma Shines

Jerry Fuller

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I remember mama callin' don't be late gettin' in this evenin'
Two miles up the blacktop Ruthie Mae was waitin' by the gate
Moonlight swimmin' in a resouviour makin' a wish on a shootin' star
I can't cut a lose the vines
Ever in the back of my mind Oklahoma shines

A local band was playin' some kickin' country music on a flatbed
And over by the court house the county threw a picnic on the lawn
Thinkin' about that labor day lovin' all night with Ruthie Mae
And what I left behind
Still after all of this time Oklahoma shines

Oklahoma shines so much brighter than this rainbow I've been chasin'
And this Pennsylvania train yard sure is cold
As I curl up with a blanket in the corner of this freight car
And dream about that elusive pot of gold
Oklahoma shines
[ instrumental ]
I hope this train is southern bound
And Ruthie Mae is still around to save this soul of mine
Down where that red river winds Oklahoma shines
Oklahoma shines Oklahoma shines

Blue Suede Blues

Richard Fagan - Patti Ryan - Mickey James

© Combine Music, BMI

We put a lotta quarters in the jukebox playin' them old 45's
I see you like to listen to the old ones too
Don't it make you think of the ol' days don't it make you feel alive
Well I'm wishin' I could slip back in time with you
I got a 55 Chevy in the parking lot and ooh

Got them blue suede blues
I wanna run up to the attic and dig out my dancin' shoes
Got them blue suede blues
And I've been lookin' for a be-bop-baby just like you
To help me lose these blue suede blues

We could sneak into the drive-in movie but we don't need to see the show
I bet back seat love's as sweet as it used to be
Later we could cruise on main street singin' with the radio
Then park by the lake and wait for the submarines
We could make those windows steam if you know what I mean

Got them blue suede blues...
These blue suede blues
