I Love You More Today

L.E. White

© Stringer Pub, BMI

I want you more than anything in the world
You mean more to me than any other girl
Now he's with you and things you do with him
We've done them for so long
I love you more today than he can from now on

I've kissed your tears away when you were sad
Held you close felt your warm love when you were glad
So no matter how much love he has for you or how long
I love you more today than he can from now on

We've already done the things he plans to do
So don't be surprised if late at night I'm in your dreams with you
And if someday his love for you goes wrong
I love you more today than he can from now on
I love you more today than he can from now on

Star Spangled Heaven

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Over the battle fields of all the great wars since the beginning of time
Have walked perhaps the bravest heroes of them all
The men known simply by the soldier as the chaplain
And this is the story of but one of the many and many thousands
Who gave his life in the service of his God and his country

There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity

And although army chaplain who was stopped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears
He was searchin' for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again

For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face

And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face and the wind blew through his hair
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say

There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy...

Though days and months and even years have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries of our boys who had to die
They're livin' with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity

Games People Play

Joe South

Lotten da la da da da lotten da da da de dee
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

Oh the games people now ev'ry night and ev'ry day now
Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
And they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da la da da da lotten da da da de dee...

We make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da la da da da lotten da da da de dee...

People walkin' up to ya singin' glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da lotten da da da de dee...

Look around and tell me what you see what's a happenin' to you and me
God grand me the serenity to remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da

Lotten da la da da da lotten da da da de dee...

The Bottle In The Hand (Is Much Stronger Than The Man)

Ronal McCown

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Will I ask my old buddy to call her on the phone
He'll say I'm working late again once more she'll be alone
But I'll sit here in this barroom just as long as I can
Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man

After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can
But I'll keep up my sinful livin' and she'll go on forgivin'
She knows the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man
[ instrumental ]
I'd go home if I was able cause this night life's gettin' old
Like the food on the table our love is growing cold
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man

After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
Cause I've hurt her every way that I can
But I'll keep up my sinful livin' and she'll go on forgivin'
She knows the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man

Crazy Arms

Ralph Mooney - Chuck Seals

© Champion Music, BMI

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearnin' heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
[ instrumental ]
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new...

Johnny B. Goode

Chuck Berry

© Arc Music, BMI

Well down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell

Go go go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
My how that little country boy can play

Go go go Johnny go go...
[ instrumental ]
Well his mama told him someday you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be at lights
Sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight

Yeah go go go Johnny go go...

Proud Mary

John Fogerty

© Jondora Music, BMI

Left a good job in the city
A workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleep
While worryin' bout the way things might have been

The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

Big wheels keep on turnin'...
[ instrumental ]
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

The big wheels keep on turnin'...

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

I'll Share My World With You

Ben Wilson

© Glad Music, BMI

I'll share my world with you everything that I own
My earthly possessions they're no good if I'm alone
Let me bring you the sunshine when it's fresh with morning dew
Can't you see that I'm waiting to share my world with you

I'll share my world with you if you'll be mine alone
I'll give you a new heart you're the only one it's known
Let me give you my two arms they'll be happy if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you
[ instrumental ]
I'll share my world with you everything that you'll see
Invite all the memories one for you and one for me
Let me give you my two lips they'll be smiling if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you

Heartaches By The Number

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

Yes I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Now I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
And the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score...
[ instrumental ]
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were comin' back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score...

The World Of Forgotten People

Loretta Lynn

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is achin' just like mine

Well I've loved and I've been loved but I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had I torn apart
Now I find I was wrong too late I'm all alone
Alone in a world of broken heart

I live in the world world of forgotten people...
[ instrumental ]
I live in the world world of forgotten people...

One For The Money

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me

Not too long ago I still remember
Kisses warm and sweet and oh so tender
But like a boat of life that strikes an unconfected tree
That's just how quick you've made a fool of me

One for the money two for the show...
[ instrumental ]
Everybody told me what you were doin'
They all said that you would be my ruin
But like the tree that couldn't see the light that's flashin' down
I closed my ears and didn't hear a sound

One for the money two for the show...
