Rock Me Back To Little Rock

Lola Jean Dillon

© Wilderness Music, BMI

I was young when I left you and daddy
There was a world outside I had to see
Mama I sure been a lot of places
But Little Rock still looks the best to me

Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me
Let me be there in my dreams awhile
Where the men don't try to take advantage
Of every woman who smiles
Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby
Just the way you used to do
Mama this ol' world outside has hurt me
So rock me back to Little Rock with you
[ guitar ]
I couldn't wait to get away from Little Rock
For I thought Little Rock was a little square
But if I ever save enough money
I'll swing it right on back and settle there

Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me...

We Had All The Good Things Going

Marv Shiner - Jerry Monday

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know
And ev'rything was goin' oh so fine
I trusted you you trusted me the way that it's supposed to be
But love slipped from us somewhere down the line

We had all of the good things goin' baby
You know we did they were so kind
Enjoyin' the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find

Now it's gone but we can't understand how love could slip right through our hands
All down the line things seem so very right
Our love went on for all these years we both knew we were sincere
Then it was gone just over night

We had all of the good things goin' baby...

Now that we've gone our separate ways I still recall those brighter days
The days that didn't seem so very long
Neither of us are to blame we only know that it's a shame
That all that we had goin' now is gone

We had all of the good things goin' baby...
We had all of the good things goin' baby...

When We Tried

Jerry Chesnut

© Tree Pub, BMI

You can smother me with kisses and feel free to let your tender arms surround me
You can love me without fear but don't come here and try to build no dreams around me
A man's a fool who looks for love for one time in a lifetime you might find it
So don't waste no time a talkin' about how love can hurt cause I don't need remindin'

I'll take my happiness a little at a time just anywhere I find it
Try to feel at home just knowin' that should you decide to leave I wouldn't mind it
And when you're gone I'll not recall a love that only lived one night and died
Just the mem'ry of what little happiness we found together when we tried

I can almost read your mind and what I find's not hard for me to understand
Cause a woman's love is stronger one remembers even longer than a man
And if I should even feel that you're pretendin' that I'm her I wouldn't mind it
If there's any happiness left in a lonely world like this let's try to find it

I'll take my happiness a little at a time just anywhere I find it...

Count Your Blessings Woman

Bill Anderson

© Tree Pub, BMI

You got cross cause the boss made 'im work last night at the office
And he stopped for a beer with the boys on his way home
And you got mad cause you had to go by yourself through the grocery
And this mornin' you had to get up and eat breakfast alone

But count your blessings woman woman count your blessings
What if you had to love him like I love him and live without him all the time
I wish I had just your part of that man you better give him all the love you can
And count your blessings woman count your blessings

I wish just once he would drag his muddy shoes through my kitchen
And watch his corny baseball game on my TV
I'd consider myself the world's most fortunate woman
Just to let that sweet man walk all over me

So count your blessings woman woman count your blessings...

Any Old Way You Do

Harlan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

Sometimes you're mean sometimes you ain't
Sometimes you're a devil sometimes you're a saint
Sometimes I wish that I could leave and say we're through
But I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

Sometimes you drink sometimes you don't
Sometimes you cheat when you swear you won't
You're a no good bum you proved it through and through
But I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

You keep that green-eyed devil in my heart and on my mind
But I put up with all this hurt for the moments when you're kind

You're ninety nine percent no good
And I'd walk out if I thought I could
But before I reach the door my heart would break in two
For I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

That's all right that's all right that's all right that's all right
Honey I love you any ole way you do

Love Is Like A Spinning Wheel

Sergio Endrigo - Bill Owens

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

Love is like an ever spinning wheel
Round and round again round and round again
Don't you cry you'll find somebody new
When love comes round again for you

Down the years many tears have been cried about love and devotion
Dry your tears love is just like a boat sailing over the ocean

Wheel of fortune keeps on turnin'
Love goes round like a carousel ride
Soon you'll find someone else by your side

Love is like an ever spinning wheel...
The wheel of fortune keeps on turnin'...
Love is like an ever spinning wheel...

My Son

Jan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

My son my son I pray that you'll come home to me
My son my son

It seems only yesterday that most important thing on your mind
Was whether you'd make the baseball team
Or get the new school jacket like all the other kids had
And I remember how your eyes lighted up when you got your first rod and reel
For that big fishin' trip just you and your dad
And I remember wipin' the tears away when you hurt yourself on your sled
In those days it seemed the house was filled with laughter and joy
Filled with your friends and they were such good boys
And then came the day that you walked down the aisle
To receive that all important diploma
I was so proud but I couldn't believe that tall young man
Was actually my son my wonderful son
And then I remember the little girl that was always around kinda taggin' after you
She's not so little anymore but she's still around who knows maybe someday
Then you received the call that I guess we knew would come someday
But it came so quick and now you're so very far away
In a land that until a short time ago I didn't even know was there
I know the time will pass and you'll be home again
But until that time my darlin' take care take special care

My son my son I pray that you'll come home to me
My son my son

I Still Believe In Love

Bill Anderson

© Tree Pub, BMI

I've been walked on looked through
Laughed at lied to
I've been stripped of all my feelin's and what little pride I've got
But I still believe in love believe it or not

I've been pushed aside unsatisfied I've tried and I've cried
I've given and I've taken and I've hurt an awful lot
But I still believe in love believe it or not

I still believe that somewhere there's a man
That I can gently put my arms around
And kiss his lips and thrill him when I tell him
He's the greatest man I've ever found
I still believe that I can offer some man
Somethin' he has never known before
But he's been searchin' for

I've been walked on looked through
Laughed at yeah lied to
I've given and I've taken and I've hurt an awful lot
But I still believe in love believe it or not

I've been walked on looked through
Laughed at lied to
I've given and I've taken and I've hurt an awful lot
But I still believe in love believe it or not

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Paul Simon

© Charing Cross Music, ASCAP

When you're weary feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
[ steel ]
Sail on silver love sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
