But You Know I Love You

Mike Settle

© Devon Music, BMI

When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I'm wakened up from another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road once again it seems
All I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

How I wish this love was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had not yet crossed our minds
For the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you

But you know we can't live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent I must leave you all alone
But you know I made my choice many years ago
Now this traveling life is the only one I know

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

Run Through Your Mind

Terry Williams - Thelma Camacho

© First Edition Pub, BMI

Run through your mind baby see what you find
Run through your mind baby see what you find

I think you'll find love (I think you'll find love)
I think you'll find tears (I think you'll find tears)
I think you'll find all of the things that you want
If only you could

Run through your mind baby see what you find...

I laid awake the other night
Clutchin' on to hopes and thoughts that you might
Wake up in time

It's quarter till and you're still sleepin'
Love will pass you by and leave you weepin'
Wake in time won't you wake up in time uh huh

Run through your mind baby see what you find

I think you'll find love (I think you'll find love)
I think you'll find tears (I think you'll find tears)
I think you'll find all of the things that you want
If only you could

Run through your mind baby see what you find...
Run through your mind baby see what you find...

Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
Yes it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around
