This Time I've Hurt Her More Than She Loves Me

Earl T. Conley - Mary Larkin

© Blue Moon Music, ASCAP

She wore that fallin' out of love look I even swore upon the good book
Still the last lie I told her was the one she couldn't believe
No more crying on her shoulder she won't even let me hold her
And this time I've hurt her more than she loves me

I've been too busy drinking she's been too busy thinking
Bout the kind of love she needs and the man she never sees
But Lord she's already stood more than I was ever good for
And this time I've hurt her more than she loves me
[ instrumental ]
I've been too busy drinking she's been too busy thinking...
[ instrumental ]
Lord this time I've hurt her more than she loves me

She Thinks I Still Care

Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy

© Jack Music, BMI

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

Well if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
And where could she get such an idea

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care

Jason's Farm

John Adrian

© Pick A Hit Music, BMI

He bought three hundred acres ten miles south of town
A drifter who decided it was time to settle down
There was no sea he had not sailed nor a sky he had not flown
And the only place he'd never been was a place he could call his own

He broke the soil and planted seed but the land refused to yield
And the loneliness he felt at night was the kind no man should feel
Till a woman came into his life a daughter of a soil
A bride that he could stand beside and ease his daily toil

And he called his kingdom Jason's Farm
The land grew rich and green for king Jason and his queen
And the wind blew sweet each night time as they lay in each others arms
And all things good grew on Jason's Farm

When the summer sun had finally gone and the harvest time was near
Jason's pretty Mary whispered magic in his ear
Then Jason's laughter filled the land and his soul began to sing
And he boasted of a son his wife would bear him in the spring

And all things good grew on Jason's Farm
The land beneath the skies turned as green as Mary's eyes
And he felt the child grow strong in Mary's womb against his palm
And all things good grew on Jason's Farm

Now the Lord gives and he takes away and to all men this is true
And most of us accept it and we learn to live it through
God gave a child to Jason an extension of his life
But in doin' so He traded the child for Jason's wife

The crops are rotting in the fields the land left unattended
And somewhere Jason roams the earth his wounded heart unmended
And the house is slowly falling down and the dust of Jason's yard
A monument to a man who shunned his child and cursed his God

And nothing grows no more on Jason's Farm
The land once rich and green is dead and dry like Jason's dream
And the wind that once blew sweet through Mary's hand is strangely calm
And nothing grows no more on Jason's Farm

She Sure Does Make It Hard To Go

Larry Locke

© Tree Pub, BMI

Her pretty sad eyes glisten from a tear about to fall
When you're hurtin' don't the time move slow
Her soft warm fingers trace a tear along my cheek
She sure does make it hard to go

Her sweet lips softly whisper how much she wants me now
She's not at least too ashamed to let it show
And I feel her hand that tremble that's holdin' on to me
She sure does make it hard to go

Leaving her was the saddest thing I guess I'll ever do
The way I'm hurtin' only heaven knows
And knowing when I'm gone missing her will be much worse
That sure does make it hard to go
[ instrumental ]
We know that it's the last time to ever meet like this
Don't it hurt to reap the seeds you sow
I'll hold her to me gently for just one more goodbye
She sure does make it hard to go

Leaving her was the saddest thing I guess I'll ever do...
That sure does make it hard to go

You Love The Best Out Of Me

Jollie Hollie

© Tree Pub, BMI

I would just like to say dear thank you
For making my life all it should be
Life's not the same your love has changed dear
You love the best out of me

You are my dreams coming true
I'm doing everything I've ever wanted to do
You've made me all I've ever wanted to be
You love the best out of me
[ instrumental ]
There's not a place I'd rather be than with you
I'll never want for nothing more than now I see
A piece of mind all the time I'm with you
You love the best out of me

You are my dreams coming true...

You've made me all I've ever wanted to be
You love the best out of me

She Did It Did I Didn't

L.E. White - Snuffy Miller

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

And she did and it did and Lord knows I didn't
And I know I'll never again

She left me somewhere between it's over and the end
With more than an effort to destroy any man
There'll never be another to share the love that live
Cause her leaving left me no love to give

I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then
And she did and it did and Lord knows I didn't
And I know I'll never again
[ instrumental ]
I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me...

The Race Is On

Don Rollins

© Glad Music, BMI

I feel tears wellin' up goin' deep inside like my heart's gonna break
And a stab of loneliness so sharp and painful that I might ever shake
You might think I'm a takin' it hard since she wrote me off with a call
Don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow I may break right down and bawl

Well the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ instrumental ]
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
I lived in fear of waking up each morning and findin' that you're gone from me
Achin' and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her I came out in second place

Well the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch...

She Takes Care Of Me

Warner Wilder - Sheila James

© Bonton Music, ASCAP

She takes care of me whenever I need lovin'
She takes care of me
She's so good for me she don't tie me down
But she takes care of me

The colored light stand by as I pass through another town
Just riding on the wind I'm not the kind to settle down
And where the highway ends my baby's standing in the door
She takes what I can give and nothing more

She takes care of me whenever I need lovin'...

I can't promise her tomorrow I won't drift away
Cause I might be in Dallas maybe down in Santa Fe
She understands today it's really all that's on my mind
I'll love her hard and leave the past behind

She takes care of me whenever I need lovin'...

Woman Lovin' Kind Of Man

Larry Jenkins

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

I've known my share of women and their pleasures
I've spent a few cold nights out in the rain
I've lived most all my life out on the highway
Known the girls in all the towns and all their names

I'm just a woman lovin' kind of man
I find 'em then I leave 'em and I love 'em when I can
Lord I leave 'em knowin' what I am I'm a woman lovin' kind of man
[ instrumental ]
I've never spent a day searching tomorrow
It's just a dream that's promised to no one
But I've looked back on my yesterdays and borrowed
From all that livin' lovin' that I've done

I'm just a woman lovin' kind of man...
[ instrumental ]
Lord I leave 'em lovin' who I am I'm a woman lovin' kind of man
I'm a woman lovin' kind of man

On My Way To Losing You

Jack Dunham - Galen Raye

© Tree Pub, BMI

She's not with me for the same reason you were
She's not here cause I won't her to be
She just took what was left when you said you were through
And I found her on my way to losing you

She made temptation the easy way out
And there were times you're all that we talked about
She knew the right things to say to help me find either way
And I found her on my way to losing you
[ instrumental ]
She loves me but it's hard to return it
Cause you bear it where she wants to live
She thinks I love her in time when I get you off my mind
And I found her on my way to losing you

She made temptation temptation the easy way out...
