They say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well some things you can't explain away But the heartache's with me to this day Chorus: Did you stand by me? No not at all Did you stand by me? No way All the times that we were close, I remember these things the most I've seen my dreams come tumbling down I can't be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there's only one thing I can say Chorus So explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Chorus I got a job but it don't pay I need new clothes, Somewhere to stay Hey without these things I can do But without your love I can't make it through But if you don't understand My point of view Then there's not a damn thing I can do Chorus |

They call me a playboy
As I'm making my rounds Chasing the bright light Of each night spot in town Though I never show it, My heart's breaking in two They call me a playboy But I'm just lonesome for you I once had real love That was when I had you Now I'll never feel love With somebody new This false front I'm wearing Is just to cover my blues They call me a playboy But I'm just lonesome for you |

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road Searchin' in the sun For another overload I hear you singin' in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman is still on the line I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows That stretch down south Will never stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line |

I can see right out my window
Walking down the street My girl, with another guy His arms around her Like it used to be with me Hey man, it makes me want to die Yeah yeah yeah Chorus: Here comes Here comes the night Here comes the night Whoa whoa whoa yeah There they go It's funny how they look so good together Wonder what is wrong with me Why can't I accept the fact She's chosen him And simply let them be Whoa whoa whoa Chorus She's with him he's turning down the lights And now he's holding her the way I used to do I can see her closing her eyes And telling him lies exactly like she told me too Whoa whoa whoa Chorus |

Well, I told you once and I told you twice
But you never listened to my advice You don't try very hard to please me With what you know it should come easy Chorus: Well this could be the last time This could be the last time Maybe the last time I don't know oh no oh no I'm sorry girl but I can't stay Feelin' like I do today It's too much pain and too much sorrow Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow Chorus (repeat) Well, I told you once and I told you twice That someone will have to pay the price But here's a chance to change your mind 'Cause I'll be gone a long, long time Chorus |

You say you will love me
If I have to go You'll be thinking of me Somehow I will know Someday when I'm lonely Wishing you weren't so far away Then I will remember Things we said today You say you'll be mine girl Till the end of time These days such a kind girl Seems so hard to find Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said today Bridge: Me I'm just a lucky guy Love to hear you say that Love is love and though we may be blind Love is here to stay and that's enough To make you mine girl Be the only one Love me all the time girl We'll go on and on Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said today Bridge |

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two With George Pratt, his partner and brother Billy, too They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold Below that old white mountain, just a little southeast of Nome Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow With the northern lights a runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one Where the river is windin' Big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska Go north, the rush is on George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand Said, "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land For one small band of gold To place on sweet Jenny's hand 'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time You know Sam, a true love is so hard to find I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home Beneath that old white mountain Just a little south of Nome." |
