I Get The Fever

Bill Anderson

© Stallion Music, BMI

Every time I hear the midnight train
A rollin' out to the open plain
A sense of freedom fills my veins
I get the fever

Every time a sparrow flies
Up into the endless skies
Somethin' down inside of me cries
I get the fever

I get the fever to pack up and leave here
And wander wild like the wind
This town's too full of memories of cruel love
And I can't stand it seein' her with him

Every time I hear somebody say
They've got lots of dust and clay
Between them and yesterday
I get the fever
[ instrumental ]
I get the fever to pack up and leave here
I think maybe I'll do just that tomorrow
This town's too full of memories of cruel love
Everywhere I turn there's pain and sorrow

Every time I hear somebody say
They've got lots of dust and clay
Between them and yesterday
I get the fever
I get the fever
I get the fever

Time

Michael Merchant

Some people walk some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white some wrapped and filled with black

Time oh time where did you go
Time oh good good time where did you go

Some people never get some never give
Some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way don't pay me any mind

Time oh time where did you go...

Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh at sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between and wonderin' why

Time oh time where did you go...

Ain't Had No Lovin'

Dallas Frazier

Ain't done one single thing this mornin'
Except for cryin' all alone
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till a you come home

Nothin's been the same since you left me
Ev'rything has gone from right to wrong
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till a you come home

Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin'
The red and golden rainbow turned to blue
With every breath I take I feel like dyin'
Life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you

Each and every day I spend without you
Is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till a you come home

Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till a you come home

The Tip Of My Fingers

Bill Anderson

I reached out my hand and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as I came

My eyes held a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tip of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't lookin'
And I should have known from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

I had your love on the tip of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
Yes I let it slip right through my hands

Born A Woman

Martha Sharp

© Painted Desert Music, BMI

It makes no difference if you're rich or poor or if you're smart or dumb
A woman's place in this ole world is under some man's thumb
And if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt
You're born to be stepped on lied to cheated on and treated like dirt
Oh if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt

A woman's lot is to give and give and go on givin'
A woman's got to love and lose and go on livin'
Well I was born a woman I didn't have no say
And when my man finally comes home he makes me glad it happened that way
Because to be his woman no price is too great to pay

Yeah I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way
Oh I was born a woman and I'm glad it happened that way

That's Not My Problem Anymore

Bobby Bare

© Bare Music, BMI

He's not my problem anymore
It ended when he walked out the door
Now someone else must try to do all the things I couldn't do
But that's not my problem anymore
That's not my problem anymore

It feels so good to get him off my mind
Unhappiness is all he left behind
And I never was quite sure what that boy was searchin' for
But that's not my problem anymore
No that's not my problem anymore

It's someone else's problem now to keep him satisfied
And I hope she figures out a way that never has been tried
Someday he may be happy but I'll never know for sure
But that's not my problem anymore
It ended when he walked out the door
Now someone else must try to do all the things I couldn't do
But that's not my problem anymore
That's not my problem anymore

Bad Seed

Bill Anderson

© Stallion Music, BMI

Ain't been in Little Rock but two weeks and here I am now
Packin' up and disappearin' into thin air
Guys in Little Rock are cute but I can't make my heart take root
Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere

I need lotsa sunshine I need lotsa raindrops
I need to breathe the open air
I hope to beg your pardon your town just ain't my garden
Bad seed won't grow just anywhere

So honey kiss goodbye to your bad seed
My love is not the kinda love you need
I could stay here with you but I wouldn't play fair
Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere
And you're lookin' at the baddest of the bad seed

Next stop Jacksonville now I don't know but I got a feelin'
I might just kinda like it somewhere round there
Hear tell there's fertile land white pearly silver sands
And bad seed won't grow just anywhere

I need lotsa sunshine I need lotsa raindrops...
So honey kiss goodbye to your bad seed...

Get Your Lie The Way You Want It

Buddy Mize

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Straighten up your tie and comb your hair
Act as though you've spent your time alone
Wash away her lipstick from your collar
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home

Make sure there's no blonde hair on your shoulder
Tear up the name and number of her phone
Smile and don't let on how much you shame me
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home

Come on home to me to the one who's number two
The one who throws away her pride to keep on lovin' you
I'll be waiting when you come back from the other love you've known
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home

I've Heard The Wind Blow Before

Gene Dobbins

© Shelby Singleton Music, BMI

I heard my doorbell ring today and there you stood
Wanting me to take you back just like I knew you would
You promise not to hurt me anymore
Ah but I've heard the wind blow before

I'm sick and tired of promises that you don't keep
The only time that you don't lie is when you're sound asleep
I might as well be talkin' to the door
Cause I've heard the wind blow before

Yes I've heard the wind blow before
And I just don't listen anymore
So turn around be on your way I don't believe a word you say
Cause I've heard the wind blow before
[ instrumental ]
I've been your fool for oh so long now it's the end
I think you only come back home so you can leave again
I put the welcome mat from my front door
Cause I've heard the wind blow before

Yes I've heard the wind blow before...
Yes I've heard the wind blow before

I Wish I Could Fall In Love Again

Harlan Howard - Wynn Stewart

© Jat Music, BMI

I wish I could fall in love again
And feel the way I always used to do
I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you

I know it's all over between us
And you're happy with someone new
And I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you

Oh I know it's all over between us...

The Hurtin's All Over

Harlan Howard

© Wilderness Music, BMI

A year ago today I felt like dyin'
As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has a way of changing yesterday
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Yes the hurtin's all over all over my body
It started in my heart and it spread all over me
Father time did his part took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Now my arms ache to hold you like they used to do
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress how my lips ache to be kissed
Yes the hurtin's all over all over me

Oh the hurtin's all over all over my body...

There Goes My Everything

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

There goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye forever more

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
[ instrumental ]
As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

There goes my reason for living...
