Something's Burning

Mac Davis

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen can you not hear our young hearts beating

I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes
Can't you feel it baby now can't you feel it here it comes
Feel it feel it fire fire

Something's burning something's burning
Something's burning and I think it's love

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie and love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever

I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire
And here it comes
Now can't you feel it baby can't you feel it here comes again
Feel it feel it fire fire

Something's burning something's burning
Something's burning and I think it's love
And I think it's love...

She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye

Mickey Newbury - Doug Gilmore

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well the morning's come and Lord my mind is aching
The sunshine's quietly standing at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor

Once again the whole town well it will be talking
Yes Lord I've seen the pity in their eyes
They could never understand it's her sorrow not a man
No matter what they say I know she tried

Baby's packed her soft things and oh oh she's left me
I know she never meant to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord it's her mind she didn't mean to be unkind
Why she even woke me up to say goodbye

My Washington Woman

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

The wages of an unskilled working man never paid enough
From time to time the nickel race keeps him from giving up
The blue collared man in Seattle never lives on white collared street
But there was food on the table for my Washington woman and me

The work slowed down and then one day the foreman laid me off
That night in a tavern down to my last dime I met a girl from Arkansas
Her daddy was a banker in Little Rock she had a mansion on white collared street
The next morning my Washington woman woke up without me

From city to city and state to state I grew heavier with shame
My Washington woman had six months left before our child would bring her pain
My Arkansas woman hurt me as we crossed the Arkansas line
But the arms of Seattle were the arms that kept hugging my mind

For years I've basked in expensive wines taste cheaper every day
I gave up all the things I loved for all these things I hate
And locked up all of her forgiveness the day I set myself free
And the heart of my Washington woman stopped beating for me

My Washington woman sends me a letter every once in a while
Inside a folded wordless page is a picture of my child
All at once the room grows cold with a feeling of jealousy
And there's a silence between my Arkansas woman and me

Just Remember You're My Sunshine

Mike Settle

© Pencil Music, BMI

Just remember you're my sunshine
When I'm with you I don't feel any pain
Just remember that I love you
Even if I cannot be your man

I'm not leaving you forever
But I got business farther down the line
I got to get myself together
You got your troubles baby I got mine

Hold on everything will be alright
Hold on I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers all we need is a little more time now

Just remember that I love you
When you got no one to hold your hand
Yes you know I'll be back home
Just as soon just as soon as I can

Hold on everything will be alright...
Hold on everything will be alright...

A Stranger In My Place

Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy

© First Edition Prod, ASCAP

I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarreled I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
And looking back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place

Momma's Waiting

Kenny Rogers - Terry Williams

© Flea Show Music, BMI

As I drive toward home I picture momma waiting
She'll be glad to see her big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she's given
And I'm all she's got to love since daddy's gone

Now I'm forty miles away and I'm just wondering
Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong I should have turned to momma
But it's hard to get back up once you have fell

It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing

As I drive away behind me momma's waving
To a son who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she'll say her final prayers and go meet daddy
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me

Today makes thirteen years in Coleman's Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk my last few steps alone
But I can't help thinking somewhere momma's waiting
Once again to see her big time boy come home

It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning...
It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning...

Elvira Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

We look like dough lips like sherry wine
She can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
Cause I know that my Elvira's mine

Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Heigh ho silver away

Elvira Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

Tonight I'm gonna meet her to a hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler cause I saved up two dollars
She's gonna search and find that preacher man

Elvira Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

Elvira Elvira
Elvira na na na na na na na
Elvira na na na na na na na...
