(All My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers

Liz Anderson

© Four Star Music, BMI

All the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once I turned my back and you were gone

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing you and now you are gone
[ instrumental ]
It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think I had a love that could be true
Why I should be taken out tired and feathered
To have let myself be taken in by you

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers...

Falling For You

Ralph Mooney

© Owen Publications, BMI

You bring me happiness and leave me loneliness
My world is in distress cause I'm falling for you
You look into my eyes and tell the sweetest lies
You're a heartbreak in disguise and I'm falling for you

Oh darling when you're near my world is happy dear
But when you disappear I'm afraid that we're through
I love in misery you're so unfair to me
It's all a mystery why I'm falling for you
[ instrumental ]
Oh darling when you're near my world is happy dear...

Please Mr. D.J.

Merle Haggard

© Owen Publications, BMI

Hello Mr DJ won't you play a song for me
The girl I love just said goodbye and I'm blue as I can be
Oh please Mr DJ play that song I've heard you play
And send it out to someone who broke my heart today

You won't have to call her name she'll know it's meant for her
Play me that song of sadness and I'll be grateful to you sir
Oh please Mr DJ play that song I've heard you play
And send it out to someone who broke my heart today
[ instrumental ]
You won't have to call her name she'll know it's meant for her...

You Don't Have Very Far To Go

Merle Haggard - Red Simpson

© Owen Publications, BMI

You always find the way to hurt my pride
If I'm not crying you're not satisfied
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
But if you're tryin' to break my heart
You don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You can't love me and still love to hurt me so
If you're tryin' to break my heart
You don't have very far to go
[ instrumental ]
You don't have very far to go before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You're turning down the flame of love too low
If you're tryin' to break my heart
You don't have very far to go

Sing A Sad Song

Wynn Stewart

© Owen Publications, BMI

Sing me a song of sadness
And sing it as blue as I feel
If a tear should appear
It's because she's not here
Sing a sad song and sing it for me

She's unhappy with me she told me so
I'm unhappy without her and I still love her so

Oh sing me a song of sadness
Pretend it's the end of the world
Sing it sweet and sing it low
And then I'll have to go
Sing a sad song and sing it for me
[ instrumental ]
Sing it sweet and sing it low
And then I'll have to go
Sing a sad song and sing it for me

Sam Hill

Tommy Collins

© Central Songs, BMI

There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill
And a certain guy used to go there every day
They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill
Oh a pretty girl not have the city ways

This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'
Headin' back for town at the crack of dawn
And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin'
Yeah a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on

We knew this certain guy was not a gold miner
Cause he never took a shovel or pick
He only took a little box of candy
And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick

We'd tried to follow him to his destination
But he had a secret path and soon he was gone
And he had us all a wonderin' what he was doin'
Yeah a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on
(Wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on)

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill
You've prob'bly asked what the Sam Hill's goin' on
All I can say and answer to your question
Is the goin's on are still goin' on

This certain guy's still takin' up his candy
He's ninety-nine and all his youth is gone
But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smillin'
And we're wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on

Wish I knew what the Sam Hill's goin' on
He won't tell us what the Sam Hill's goin' on

Merle Haggard

© Owen Publications, BMI

I'm gonna break every heart I can I'd be a find-'em-and-fool-'em man
I'm gonna dedicate my whole life to this one plan
Well if I live and have enough time I'll get evil with the woman kind
I'm gonna break every heart I can in everyone I find

I'm gonna think of lotta good lies I'm gonna laugh when a woman cries
I'm gonna have myself a style to recognize
I'm gonna travel all around the world I'd be a friend to the sweetest girl
I'm gonna break every heart I can and all my name ain't Merle
[ instrumental ]
Well if I ever get around to you you gonna know about the things I do
They gonna tell about the harm I've done in the latest News
Cause if I live and have enough time I'll get evil with the woman kind
I'm gonna break every heart I can in everyone I find

I'm gonna break every heart I can I'd be a love-'em-and-leave-'em man
I'm gonna dedicate my whole life to this one plan
Well if I live and have enough time I'll get evil with the woman kind
I'm gonna break every heart I can in everyone I find
I'm gonna break every heart I can in everyone I find

You Don't Even Try

Merle Haggard - Fuzzy Owen

© Owen Publications, BMI

Our love keeps drifting and you keep giving me to blame
I go on loving you although it's all in vain
Now you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I
I give my everything but you don't even try

I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end
Although I know it's over my heart just won't give in
So you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I
I give my everything but you don't even try
[ instrumental ]
I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end...

If I Had Left It Up To You

Merle Haggard

© Owen Publications, BMI

You made plans to leave a thousand times I know
And a thousand times I should have let you go
But each time I'll always beg you back somehow
If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now

It'd all be over now cept the crying
I'd be used to spending all my nights alone
Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow
If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now
[ instrumental ]
It'd all be over now cept the crying...

I'd Trade All Of My Tomorrows

Jenny Lou Carson

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
For my life's no good if I can't have your love
I'd trade all of my tomorrows they're worthless anyway
If I can't hold the one I'm dreaming of

Just an empty world is all I have before me
I'd give anything if you were with me now
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
For my life's no good without you anyhow
[ instrumental ]
Just an empty world is all I have before me...

The Worst Is Yet To Come

Liz Anderson

© Yonah Music, BMI

Such a little time has passed since you went away
Where are all these heartaches coming from
I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today
And I know the worst is yet to come

If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out and get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the big blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come
[ instrumental ]
There'll be all those sleepless nights when I'll just lay and cry
And the hours seem to have no end
There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die
Wishing I could have you back again

If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me...

Walking The Floor Over You

Ernest Tubb

© Noma Music, BMI

You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
That day has come and gone
But you're still away from home
I'm walking the floor over you

I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying
As my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
[ instrumental ]
Now darling you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought you would love me and you always would be mine
You went away and left me here with troubles on my mind

I'm walking the floor over you...
