Heart To Heart Talk

Lee Ross

How foolish can you be to be ruled by jealousy
Can you throw away what we planned
Why don't you ask your heart ask it if we should part
I need to tell my heart exactly where we stand

So let's have a heart to heart talk
Let's have an arm in arm walk
My darling let's try to see eye to eye
And let's have a heart to heart talk

So let's have a heart to heart talk...

Let's Pretend We're Not Married Tonight

Merle Haggard - Leona Williams

© Shade Tree Music, BMI

Let's pretend we're not married tonight
Let's go out and let's don't even fight
We'll wear our left-handed rings on the right
We'll pretend we're not married tonight

I'll pretend that your old jokes are new
We'll act crazy like we used to do
We'll stay out till the bright morning light
Let's pretend we're not married tonight

Let's leave all of our troubles behind
And let's toast to yesterday's wine
Let's stay out until it's comin' daylight
Let's pretend we're not married tonight

Let's pretend we're not married tonight...
Let's pretend we're not married tonight...

You Can't Break The Chains Of Love

Jimmy Wakely - Lou Porter - Franklin Tableporter

© MCA Music, ASCAP

Though we're apart you're always in my heart
You can't break the chains of love dear
Wherever you go my heart will always know
You can't break the chains of love

For I will always love you
And swear by the stars up above
I'll be your slave till I am in my grave
You can't break the chains of love

Norman
[ instrumental ]
I will always love you
And swear by the stars up above
And I'll be your slave till I am in my grave
No you can't break the chains of love

Waltz Across Texas

Talmadge Tubb

© Ernest Tubb Music, BMI

When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you

My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment that you come in view
And with my hand in yours dear I could dance on and on
I could waltz across Texas with you

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms...
Yeah I could waltz across Texas with you

We're Strangers Again

Merle Haggard - Leona Williams

© Tree Pub, BMI

First we were strangers down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other too much to live up to
And now we're strangers again

I came like a stranger and you took me in
And I felt at home in your arms
We had nothing but good times as long as the sun shined
But we just couldn't weather the storm

You came like a stranger I took you in
And you gave me some reasons to live
I gave the good times and you gave the sunshine
Till we ran out of good things to give

But now we are strangers back down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other too much to live up to
And now we're strangers again

Waitin' On The Good Life To Come

Merle Haggard

© Shade Tree Music, BMI

Waitin' on the good life to come
Gotten every day one by one
Tryin' real hard to stay by mine
Livin' down here in Galveston
Waitin' on the good life to come

Washin' dishes earnin' pools
Warm a bottle wipe a nose
Pullin' my hair cryin' some
Waitin' on the good life to come

Work hard all day sweep down two beers
Rush right home kiss away her tears
Livin' like this sure ain't no fun
Waitin' on the good life to come

Waitin' on the good life to come...

Don't Ever Let Your Lover Sleep Alone

Merle Haggard

© Shade Tree Music, BMI

Don't ever cut your hair on Sunday morning
There'll come a big ol' bald spot on your head
And don't hide no dirty books beneath your mattress
Or you'll come back and find the devil in your bed

Yeah, there's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't make no big decisions on your own
And don't ever let your lover sleep alone

Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Or you'll come back and find a nightmare in your home
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your lover sleep alone

Don't ever bet your bottom on a greyhound
You'll wind up with a pair of beggin' hands
And don't leave your darlin' hangin' when you boogie
Always try to finish every dance

There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your lover sleep alone
And don't make no big decisions on your own

Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone...

It's Cold In California

Freddy Powers - Nate Green

© Tree Pub, BMI

There's a boy here in old California
Who I know like I know myself
And he's livin' in hell but he's takin' it well
And it's cold in California tonight

It's cloudy in California this evening
This old jet plane soon will be leavin'
When these bight shiny wings 'neath the shiny moonlight
It'll be cold in California tonight

She'll be drinkin' her first cup of coffee
And she'll be talkin' to the people in flight
And I knew from the start that she'd break my heart
Oh it's cold in California tonight

Though the weather is fine the chill set is mine
And it's cold in California tonight
Lord it's cold in California tonight

I'll Never Be Free

George Weiss - Bennie Benjamin

© Laurel Music, ASCAP

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms grow cold aching for you
No one can take your place darling in my embrace
I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss puts up the fire
Though I may try and try no one can satisfy
This longing in me

I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember
How you used to thrill me with each sigh

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains though we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you made me a slave to you
I'll never be free
[ fiddle - mandolin ]
I'll never be free from your smile so tender...

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you made me a slave to you
And I'll never be free

Billy Cox - Clarke VanNess

Well I met a gal from Old Kentucky she was happy and go-lucky
Sally let your bangs hang down
She called me honey-bunny just to make him spend his money
Sally let your bangs hang down

Sally she could land 'em she'd love 'em and she'd leave 'em
Sally let your bangs hang down

Sally let your bangs hang down

Well I'll have to be confessin' Sally always kept me guessin'
Sally let your bangs hang down
Yeah she jumped up on a filly and she rode away with Willy
Sally let your bangs hang down

Jimmy

Yeah we caught Sally changin' clothes she was in a perfect pose
Sally let your bangs hang down
She caught me peekin' in I don't believe it was no sin
Sally let your bangs hang down

Hey Sally she could land 'em she loves 'em and she leaves 'em
Sally let your bangs hang down
I'll find out what Sally's got makes me think that she's so hot
Sally let your bangs hang down

Alright Roy

Cause Sally she could land 'em she loves 'em and she leaves 'em...

Yes Norm
