Party Pickin'

Alex Zanetis

© Tuckahoe Music, BMI

Well that was quite a crazy party
I laughed until my stomach hurt
Yes I see that you enjoyed it
By the lipstick on your shirt

Now won't you stop that party pickin'
What did I do to be ashamed
You're the one that needs the lickin'
I'm the one that gets the blame

Now you're not such a perfect angel
You had quite a ball yourself
Yes I sat and held your glass dear
While you danced with someone else

Now won't you stop that party pickin'...

Seven dances with Johnny Michael
Don't you think that was too much
Eight or ten is much more like it
And I think he's got a crush

Now won't you stop that party pickin'...
[ instrumental ]
Nighty night I think I'm gonna rest here
The floor's much warmer than your bed
Thank the lord I need the rest dear
You can have this rockin' chair

Now won't you stop that party pickin'...

Love I think I hear a tiger
Sweets please tell me what to do
Hey you better move on over
Cause I'm a tiger fightin' too

You just got that party pickin'...

He never told her that he can't do now
I heard you my pet
Cause you're a sweetest angel
But I'm all over it

The Day I Lose My Mind

(The day I lose your memory is the day I lose my mind)

Through a tear I stare at your picture
I can still feel your lips close to mine
The day I lose your memory
Is the day I lose my mind

Late at night your voice still wakes me
I reach out with my arms open wide
The day I lose your memory
Is the day I lose my mind

You're the one that I breathe for
You're still here even though you're away
You're the reason I'll wait for tomorrow
You're the reason I lived yesterday

This old heart is broke down with sorrow
And I almost cried myself blind
The day I lose your memory is the day I lose my mind
The day I lose your memory is the day I lose my mind

Living On Easy Street

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

Livin' on easy street with a dog and a Persian cat
Livin' on easy street we don't need this and that
Our bills are gonna be due and the baby will soon be too
But we draw our welfare check this week
Livin' on easy street

Well our old ice box is empty and the cupboard is bare of beans
We don't have a pot we don't have a dime but we're fulfillin' our dreams
In a two room shack on a twenty foot lot they way we live it's the perfect spot
We're living on love and we sure live cheap
Livin' on easy street

Livin' on easy street with a dog and Persian cat...

Livin' on easy street with a dog and Persian cat...

We draw our welfare check this week
Livin' on easy street
Livin' on easy street

From Here To The Door

Don Chapel

© Glad Music, BMI

Well it's only my love you are takin'
And it's only my heart you are breakin'
To you it will be only footsteps you're takin'
But it's my lifetime from here to the door

From here to the door is your freedom
To you a short walk cross the floor
If you go now this house will be a prison
Cause it's my lifetime from here to the door

There you stand now but I guess that you're goin'
Where I failed you I've no way of knowin'
To you it's no more than a cold wind that's blowin'
But it's my lifetime from here to the door

From here to the door is your freedom
To you a short walk cross the floor
If you go now this house will be a prison
Cause it's my lifetime from here to the door
Yes it's my lifetime from here to the door

I'll Be Loving You

Dallas Frazier - Buddy Mize

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

s long as I got arms to hug you a mind to love you
As long as one and one makes two
As long as I got lips to kiss you a heart to miss you
As long as there's me then I'll be loving you

Well I don't mind to tell you what I've been a thinkin'
You got me grinnin' and you got my eyes a blinkin'
Heaven's angels just sent me a blessin'
And love is gonna be a lifetime lesson

As long as I got arms to hug you a mind to love you...
[ instrumental ]
Oh the night of a happiness is gonna be shinin'
Every little hurtin' tear will stop its winin'
Spring will sing and the bees will start a hummin'
Up and down the mountain we'll go runnin'

As long as I got arms to hug you a mind to love you...
As long as there's me then I'll be loving you

Long Walk Off A Tall Rock

Ron Behunin

© Glad Music, BMI

Well people keep talkin' and rockin' the boat
Makin' trouble for you and me
Their favorite pastime is diggin' up the past times
Little things that used to be
Before I met you I'll bet you we made time
but to the past we've never returned
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock
As far as we're concerned

Yeah let 'em keep flappin' bout things that used to happen
We'll take it with a little grain of salt
Cause I know you know things that happened long ago
Came to a screechin' halt
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock
As far as we're concerned

They'll never know how it feels to get better
If they've never made a mistake
They're so afraid that we're gonna be happy
They can't bear to give us a break
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock
As far as we're concerned

Yeah let 'em keep flappin' bout things that used to happen...

We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds

Melba Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

We said our goodbyes long ago
Never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind
Oh we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another not you
How foolish I thought the same too
They both turned out to be the wrong kinds
Oh we must have been out of our minds
[ instrumental ]
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
And reap together the wild seeds we've sowed
Surely they can forgive us and find
Oh we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another not you...
Yes we must have been out of our minds

Everybody Oughta Sing A Song

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

Everybody oughta sing a song
Sing to the world about somethin' that's gone wrong
Go on strike about somethin' that you don't
Like everybody oughta sing a song

I traveled down the road and I got real thirsty
Pulled into a station to get me a coke coke
Put my dime in pulled down the handle
But the coke machine was broke broke broke

Everybody oughta sing a song...

I dig hountin' so I bought me a shot gun
I'm gonna take me a little huntin' trip trip
Wadn't in them woods ten minutes
Till I stepped on a snake got bit bit bit

Everybody oughta sing a song...

Well I like to fish and I like to ski
So I went downtown and I bought me a boat boat
Everything just fine except a big ole hole
In the bottom won't float float float

Everybody oughta sing a song...

Well I met a little girl way down in Little Rock
I walked up to her and I said said said
What's your name you pretty little thing
With a wiggle she told me Fred Fred Fred

Everybody oughta sing a song...
Everybody oughta sing a song...

They Bought The House Next Door

Melba Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

I must pack up my things and start moving
Due to circumstances beyond my control
They were married yesterday but I still love him
And now I've learned they bought the house next door

They'll be moving in first thing tomorrow morning
I'll be watching from my window and I'll cry
All I'll be to him is just the next door neighbor
But all he is to me is everything in life

In a day or two I'll wind up on my business
I can't live in this old lonesome house no more
It's hard enough to know I have lost him
And to make things worse they bought the house next door
[ instrumental ]
In a day or two I'll wind up on my business...

Let's Get Together (One More Time)

Don Chapel

© Glad Music, BMI

Well it's true that we just can't live together
For your hungers and my heart don't agree
So let's celebrate our party with a party
Let's get together before we go our separate ways

Let's get together just one time once again
To cover up the beginning of the end
And though we both have agreed to disagree
Let's get together one more time then we'll be free
[ instrumental ]
I'll pick you up same place, same time as always
Don't be late for this is out last date
We'll have tonight to remember yesterday
Let's get together before we go our separate ways

Let's get together just one time once again...
Let's get together one more time then we'll be free
