They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.

We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And Begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally.

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally...

I know that you've been foolin' around on me
Right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me.

I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do
But many a night I wished that I had been a-foolin' too
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
But when it's you a fool I'll always be

I know that you've been foolin' around on me
Right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me.

--- Instrumental ---

So honey fool around. You know right where I'm at
Don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
And when you're tire of foolin' 'round with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me

I know that you've been foolin' around on me
Right from the start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me...

I called you on the phone to say I love you
That I'd stop by for you at nine
And my heart broke when you said it's all over
That someone else would take up all your time.

And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime
I'll never know what made you change your mind
I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time
And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime.

--- Instrumental ---

I went downtown to join the merry makers
And told myself that here's where I belong
I thought that I could get along without you
Until I heard somebody play our song

And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime
I'll never know what made you change your mind
I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time
And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime...

(Written by Harlan Howard)

Heartache numbers one
Was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when
You come back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Chorus:
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
Each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end

--- Instrumental ---

Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you were coming
Back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for
Your knock on the door
I waited but you
Must have lost your way

Chorus:
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
Each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end...

The flame of love was burning high
We vowed to never let it die
But now you're growing tired of me
So let's agree to disagree.

Let's agree to disagree
There's nothing left for you and me
You won't be happy till you're free
So let's agree to disagree.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll miss you but I'll live somehow
In fact I miss you even now
But you don't want no part of me
So let's agree to disagree.

Let's agree to disagree
There's nothing left for you and me
You won't be happy till you're free
So let's agree to disagree...

You have gone and yet I'm still your prisoner
Althought you're with your new love I'm not free
For you have placed a lock around my heart, dear
And you are the keeper of the key.

Love locked inside like mine burns constantly
So darling, please come back to me
We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime
And God will be the keeper of the key.

--- Instrumental ---

Only you can break the chains that bind me
Only you can end my misery
No one else can dry the tears that blind me
For you are the keeper of the key.

Love locked inside like mine burns constantly
So darling, please come back to me
We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime
And God will be the keeper of the key...

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I know I wouldn't stay
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy lovin' you

Chorus:
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll awake and hear my poor heart say
That I don't believe I'll fall in love today

--- Instrumenral ---

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in the way
You come between us like you always do
Somehow they never measure up to you

Chorus:
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake and hear my poor heart say
That I don't believe I'll fall in love today...

You were mine for just awhile,
Now you're putting on the style,
And you never once looked back,
To your home across the track,

You're the gossip of the town,
But my heart can still be found,
Where you tossed it on the ground,
Pick me up on your way down,

Chorus:
Pick me up on your way down,
When you're blue and all alone,
When their glamour starts to bore you,
Come on back where you belong,

When you learn these things are true,
I'll be waiting here for you,
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down,

--- Instrumental ---

They have changed your attitude,
Made you hoggie, and so rude,
Your new friends can take the blame,
Underneath you're still the same,

You may be their pride and joy,
But they'll find another toy,
When your true love can't be found
Pick me up on your way down,

Chorus:
Pick me up on your way down,
When you're blue and all alone,
When their glamour starts to bore you,
Come on back where you belong,

When you learn these things are true,
I'll be waiting here for you,
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down...

It seems like years and a million tears
Since you've left the old hometown
Now you've changed they say and the great white way
Is your new stomping ground.

Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me
'Cause you never write or call
But I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall.

I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're flying high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true.

So when you're uptown maybe
Starts giving you the stall
I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I've heard it said they've turned your head
You're ashamed of us back home
But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound
Still chills you to the bone.

With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes
You're not fooling me at all
When you're feeling bad your ol' country lad
Is gonna catch you you fall.

I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're flying high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true.

So when you're uptown maybe
Starts giving you the stall
I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall...

Lying Again

She's out there somewhere
I don't really care
I'm proud to say that we had
Just a casual affair.

We drifted together
Then drifted apart
And I crossed her name
From my heart.

But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again
One kiss from her could start me crying again
If you could see behind this game of pretend
You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again.

--- Instrumental ---

If she ever phones
Please say that I am not home
Just tell her I'm busy
And to leave me alone

I hope she's happy
For I plan to be
A she's
Just a memory to me

But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again
One kiss from her could start me crying again
If you could see behind this game of pretend
You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again...

I had the key to heaven when we married and for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And every night you share another's kiss
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
And be the one who's dream of love is gone
I'd rather be the one you spend your time with than be the one at home all alone
[ steel - fiddle ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears was fallen before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you and yet I'm always here when you return
And I'd rather be the one...

When I woke up this morning you were gone
The note on your pillow said so long
The things that seemed so right now seem so wrong
As I'm left alone to face each empty dawn.

Think it over, don't let love fade away
Think it over, is there nothing left to say
Leave your pride, meet me half way
Think it over, don't let it end this way.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I'd be glad to take you back, again
And share with you my love that never end
Without you my world's not worth living in
So think it over, and let's try, again.

Think it over, don't let love fade away
Think it over, is there nothing left to say
Leave your pride, meet me half way
Think it over, don't let it end this way...

Oh jealous me and careless you
The odds were just too great
I couldn't stand those lonely nights
You made me sit and wait

But I'd thought I'd seen the last of you
When you walked out of site
Instead I see you in my dreams each night

Oh the key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'm sitting here wishin' dear, I'd have your love again
And I'll never even ask you where you've been
The keys in the mailbox, come on in

Well I said I'd rather stay alone
Than share your company
I said don't come around at all
If you want more than me
But sitting here alone I can't deny the flame that burns
And I'd gladly take you back on any terms

Woke up this morning happy as could be
Looked out my window and what did I see?
A comin' up my sidewalk just as plain as day
A well a here come trouble that I never thought I'd see
When you went away

Hello trouble, come on in, you talk about heartaches
Where'n the world ya been?
I ain't had the miseries since you been gone
Hello trouble, trouble, trouble, welcome home

We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes
A you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you
For I'm just a little part of, of the life you've lived
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble
Than to never know the love you give

Hello trouble, come on in, you talk about heartaches
Where'n the world ya been?
I ain't had the miseries since you been gone
Hello trouble, trouble, trouble, welcome home
