Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On

Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody's looking as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone
Lord have mercy baby's got her blue jeans on

Up by the bus stop and across the street
Open up their windows to take a peek
Aw she goes walking rocking like a rolling stone
Heaven help us baby's got her blue jeans on

She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes naturally
No the girl can't help it

Well up on Main Street by the taxi stand
There's a crowd of people in a traffic jam
She don't look back she ain't doing nothing wrong
Lord have mercy baby's got her blue jeans on

She can't help it if she's made that way...
Down on the corner by the traffic light...
Heaven help us baby's got her blue jeans on

Come Early Morning

Bob McDill

© Gold Dust Music, BMI

Well I been a walkin' a walkin' in the moonlight
Trippin' in the starlight Lord and I'm feelin' down
Walkin' in the shadows sneakin' down a sideroad
Come early mornin' I'll be there on the edge of town

Now I was a thinkin' thinkin' bout a good thing
Thinking bout a sweet gleam oh in my honey's eyes
And I was a sinkin' feelin' kinda lonesome
Come early mornin' I'll be home by my honey's side

And I have drifted up across the mountains
I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted tried and troubled Lawd
Come early mornin' I'll be home and satisfied
[ instrumental ]
She'll give me little lovin' give me little sunshine
Make me have a good time oh when I'm feelin' blue
I couldn't refuse her I wouldn't misuse her
Come early mornin' I'll be home with my honey dew

Now I have drifted up across the mountains...
And I have drifted up across the mountains...

Come early mornin' I'll be home by my honey's side
Yes I will

Louisiana Saturday Night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em in the floor
Dance in the kitchen till the morning light
Louisiana Saturday night

A waitin' in the front yard sittin' on a log
Single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
Yonder come a kin folks in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
[ instrumental ]
My brother Bill and my other brother Jack
Belly full of beer and a possum in a sack
Fifteen kids in front porch light
Louisiana Saturday night

When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed
Me and my woman gonna slip off to bed
Have a little fun when we turn out the lights
Louisiana Saturday night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
Yeah you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...
[ fiddle ]
Git down the fiddle and you git down the bow...

Mississippi (Roll On Forever)

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

Well to skitter some day so carry you away in the summertime
The weeds grow tall and the crickets and the frogs sing a lullaby
The whole town sleeps all day in the heat of the summer sun
So you sit on the bank and watch the river run

Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans

Well the willow tree sways in the heat all day by the riverside
When the sun gets high Lord it gets so quiet you could lose your mind
So you drink ice tea on the porch and you dream of far-a-way
I'm gonna leave this one horse town some day

Ooh Mississippi roll on forever...
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever...

You Sneaky Thing You

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

I saw you walkin' down the street
I looked at you and you looked so sweet
There was nothing that I could do
You made me fall in love with you

Didn't want to but you walked by
Didn't mean to but I looked in your eyes
Didn't plan to but what could I do
You sneaky thing you

I couldn't think of a thing to say
I looked at you and you looked away
I don't know what you did to me
But I could feel my knees get weak

Didn't want to but you walked by...
[ instrumental ]
I never wanted to fall in love
It was last thing I was thinkin' of
Lawd above the next thing I knew
That I was in love with you

Didn't want to but you walked by...

I Call It Love

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

Two young kids a night in May
A country road and a Chevrolet
Beneath the summer moon
Almost a woman almost a man
Things like this get out of hand
Seventeen and that's too soon

Now you can call it youth and blame it on the night
You can call it life and say that it's not right
You can call it foolish blame it on the stars above
Call it what you want I call it love

Blood runs high and wrong or right
They lose their heads run off one night
And what's done can't be undone
Thinking life's an easy thing
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring
Eighteen and that's too young

Now you can call it youth and blame it on the night...
[ instrumental ]
Time goes on and in a while
It's a rented room and a month old child
And they're down to just gettin' by
It's hard to last when life's that way
People shake their heads and say
They won't make it oh but they might

And you can call it youth and blame it on the night...
I call it love

I'll Just Take It Out In Love

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

I gave you love when you were lonely
I gave you strength when times were bad
I've been a daddy to your children
I've dried your tears when you were sad

But darling you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
Darling I'll just take it out in love
[ instrumental ]
I've been your friend when you were troubled
I've stood by you when things went wrong
And I've picked you up each time you stumbled
When you were weak I was strong

But darling you don't need to thank me...
Darling I'll just take it out in love

Lovelight

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

One lonely night after another all alone in my room
Lovers go by in love with each other me I got nothing to do
So I sit here by my window with an aching heart
Alone in the dark

Hey lovelight shine on me
Let somebody let somebody be
The one that the one that I've been dreaming of
Hey lovelight shine tonight like the moonlight through the dark night
And bring me bring me somebody to love
[ instrumental ]
Lovers they come lovers they go and the world goes around
I spend my nights searchin' their faces for a face in the crowd
And somewhere there's gotta be someone
And I know she'll be searching for me

Hey lovelight shine on me...
Hey lovelight shine on me...

Right In The Palm Of Your Hand

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

A willing woman a williang man
A five room house and a wedding band
Believers believers
Once it begins you know it don't take long
Till you're like two people in a heartbreak song
And I wonder I wonder

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man
Chasing a rainbow looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand
When it's right in the palm of your hand

We can't take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in separate beds
We're changing changing
Too little love and too much pride
You won't give in and neither will I
Like children children

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...

Feet on the floor holding my head
Sittin' alone on the edge of the bed
I been thinking thinking
Tryin' to find where we went wrong
I just turned around you were gone
It's over it's over

Well ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...
Oh ain't it just like a woman ain't it just like a man...

Just Because It Feels Good

Bob McDill - Wayland Holyfield

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

One more round the drinks is on the table
One more time we slow dance across the floor
Softly in the dark we cling together
And I've never wanted any woman more

Your eyes tell me that it would be so easy
And I tell myself no one would ever know
Here we are so close to love it scares me
And here I am a long long ways from home

And I know that we could spend the night together
Oh I can see the promise in your eyes
And I know that it would feel so good to love you
But just because it feels good that don't make it right

Well it's closing time the place is almost empty
And we walk to the door side by side
I can almost feel you lying warm beside me
As I kiss your cheek should I say goodbye

Cause I know that we could spend the night together...
Honey just because it feels good that don't make it right
