You Turn The Light On

Lewis Anderson - Steve Geyer

© Blackwood Music, BMI

No more mornings waking with a stranger
No more evenings alone on the street
Ooh baby I am out of danger
Since you gave me the love I need

You turn the light on (turn the light on turn it on)
You turn the light on (turn the light on ooh)
You turn the light on (turn the light on turn it on)
The darkness is gone when you turn the light on

People who knew me when I was lonely
Say that they've seen such a change in me
Ooh baby I tell them I'm only
Guilty of love in the first degree

You turn the light on (turn the light on turn it on)...
[ instrumental ]
You turn the light on (turn the light on turn it on)...

You Decorated My Life

Bob Morrison - Debbie Hupp

© Music City Music, ASCAP

All my life was a paper once plain pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then till the balance was right
Then you added some music every note was in place
And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face

And you decorated my life
Created a world where dreams are apart
And you decorated my life
By painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony life meant nothing to me until you came along
And you brought out the colors what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes

And you decorated my life...

She's A Mystery

Steve Pippin - Larry Keith

© Tree Pub, BMI

I can't tell you why I love her
I don't even know myself
All I know is she gives me feelings
I can't get from anyone else

She told me that I could easily fly
Here I am believin' and I don't know why

She's still a mystery to me
Oh but she's all I'm ever gonna need
And I don't know how she does it
I guess she does it magically
She's a mystery to me

Like a wand she waves her finger
Suddenly I'm hypnotized
All I can do is surrender
To the magic of her eyes

She told me that I could easily fly
Here I am believin' and I don't know why

She's still a mystery to me...

Goodbye Marie

Dennis Linde - Mel McDaniel

© Combine Music, BMI

I woke up this mornin' all cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy all burnt out of thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say

Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway calling me
It was fun Marie I gotta run Marie
If I cannot keep your love at least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie

Wakin' up beside you in the Tijuana mornin'
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of lovin' twenty one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool

Is it goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...

Pour favor pour me one more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
This time tomorrow I'll be back in Houston
Thinking bout the girl I left behind

Oh goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...
Goodbye Marie oh goodbye Marie...

Tulsa Turn Around

Alex Harvey - Larry Collins

© Unart Music, BMI

Oh Lord I wish I had never been stoned
When I get high I can't leave the women alone
Omaha sheriff and his boys gettin' ready for slaughter
Lookin' for the man that turned on the mayor's daughter

Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollow every evenin' you could hear her sing
She said funky but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove taught me how to love y'all

Five miles of road between me and my house
A rosy-throat sheriff and his deputy were trackin' me down
Well I wish I was back at Macon takin' it easy
But if a man's gonna eat fried chicken he's got to be greasy

Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing...

Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing...

I Want To Make You Smile

Bill Medley

© Orange Grove Music, BMI

When I run too fast slow me down
When I run too far turn me around
Sometimes life becomes an endless waste
Sometimes love can't stand the lonely pace

Each day goes by much too fast
Tomorrow soon becomes the past
Lost in a struggle I'm making my way
Not taking time enough to simply say
I love you forgive me I know it's been a while
I love you I wanna stop the world and make you smile

Too many days I forget to take the time
To say I love you and thank you for being mine
Those simple words I sometimes forget to say
We'll be on my lips at the wake of each new day
I love you forgive me I know it's been a while
But you know love you I wanna stop the world and make you smile
If it's not too late to make you smile

Santiago Midnight Moonlight

John McMeans

© Mister Moose Music, BMI

Senorita don't get me wrong I'm a lonely boy long long way from home
Another fugitive of heartbreak I left it back in the States so I'm here all alone
This is certainly a lovely town I was hoping you could show me around
Hopin' maybe we could spend some time maybe you can get her off my mind

Spend some time in that Santiago midnight moonlight tropical stars above
Santiago midnight moonlight the perfect place to fall in love

I can't seem to get her off of my mind she was the one of a kind I was so lucky to find
We had even talked of settling down in some respected suburban American town
Did I tell you you have beautiful eyes as soft and dark as the tropical night
A margarita and a midnight smile You made me want to stay a while

And spend some time in your Santiago midnight moonlight tropical stars above
Santiago midnight moonlight the perfect place to fall in love
[ instrumental ]
Now my days are turnin' into years talkin' tourist trade sellin' souvenirs
I don't even mind the sand in my shoes and my sweet senorita doesn't give me the blues
Thinkin' back now it's hard to say why I left the good ole USA hey
As I recall I left some girl back there but I swear I can't even remember her name

I'm just thinkin' bout Santiago midnight moonlight tropical stars above
Santiago midnight moonlight the perfect place to fall in love
Santiago midnight moonlight tropical stars above
Santiago midnight moonlight the perfect place to fall in
Love's callin' you can fall in love

One Man's Woman

Steve Glassmeyer

© Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP

She's got dinner on the table at seven
The kids are tucked in bed by nine-fifteen
And she's headed for a hotel at eleven
To meet a man her family's never seen

As the elevator takes her to her lover
She thinks about his wife at home asleep
And she knows it must be painful to discover
That the man you love's not always yours to keep

Well she's one man's bride and she's one man's on the side
She wonders why it takes two men to keep her satisfied
Well she's a hard workin' housewife and right now she's occupied
Well she's one man's woman and one man's on the side
Yes she's one man's woman and one man's on the side

She thinks about her husband when it's over
But she justifies her love affair somehow
But she knows it can't go on like this forever
But she takes it all from day to day for now

Well she's one man's bride and she's one man's on the side
She wonders why it takes two men to keep her satisfied
Well she's a hard workin' housewife and right now she's occupied
Well she's one man's woman and one man's on the side
She wonders why it takes two men to keep her satisfied
Well she's a hard workin' housewife and right now she's occupied
Well she's one man's woman and one man's on the side
Yes she's one man's woman and one man's on the side

In And Out Of Your Heart

Dennis Linde - Alan Rush - Thomas Cain

© Combine Music, BMI

If my heart's not too late
For a piece of your time
There's been so many days
Since your eyes looked at mine

In the dark of this room
Where the burning has grown
You believe in your love
When you're lost and alone

And life don't give no reasons
When the love goes away
No answers for someone like you

Hold me hold me
Seems like we never get together anymore
Hold me hold me
Starry nights don't come enough
That's what we come here for hold me

I will lay by your side I can warm your cold nights
You can play in my dreams
Till I'm out of your sight in the morning my love

Couldn't change where you go
You were always my woman
It's the one truth I know
So hold out when there's no chance
For your love anyway
No diamond could shine close to you

Hold me hold me...

Old Folks

D.L. Hill - Willard Robison

© WB Music, ASCAP

Everybody knows him as old folks
Like the seasons he comes and he goes
Just as free as a bird and as good as it were
That's why we all love them so

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
Tucks his napkin up under his chin
And that old corn cob pipe well It's so mellow it's right
But still you're not ashamed of him

Every Friday he goes fishing sown by the lake
But he only caught a perch or two a whale got away
Guess I'd better warm a steak

Someday there's gonna be no more old folks
What a lonesome old town this would be
Children's voices are played we'll be still for a day
The day they take old folks away

Coward Of The County

Roger Bowling - Billy Edd Wheeler

© Roger Bowling Music, BMI

Everyone considered him the coward of the county
He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy the folks just called him Yellow
Something always told me they were readin' Tommy wrong

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
Son my life is over but yours is just begun

Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man

There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky there was three of them

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'
The torn dress the shattered looks was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again

Promise me son not to do the things I've done...

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom
One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said hey look ol' Yellow's leavin'
But you could've heard a pindrop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door

Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him
He wadn't holdin' nothin' back he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'
He said this one's for Becky as he watched the last one fall

And I heard him said
I promised you dad not to do the things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek
And papa I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man

Everyone considered him the coward of the county
