> Empty, I was just an empty shell 'til I met you
Hungry, just another hungry heart 'til I found you Loving, loving was a feeling I never knew Dying, I was dying for the life time with you Your love is my breathe of life Your love blows me away I wasn't born yesterday But I just started living today Touching, there was lightning in the night when I touch you And dancing, dancing in your loving arms, I wanted you A love song swaying to the records that jukebox played Living, I started living when you loved me each day Your love is my breathe of life Your love blows me away I wasn't born yesterday But I just started living today Your love is my breathe of life Your love blows me away I wasn't born yesterday But I just started living today Yes, I just started living today |

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack We wanted fame and fortune And we'd live life the way the rich folks do We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you With dreams and hopes of things to come We worked and never stopped Not much time for you and me We had to reach the top We bought that big two story house And soon became the envy of the town With all our work behind us We'd finally settled down Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Whoa, what splendor But there's no love about I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house The house is filled with rare antiques There's marble on the floor Beauty all around us Like we've never seen before There's chandeliers in every room Imported silks and satin all about We filled the house with everything But somehow left love out Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Oh what splendor But there's no love about I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By TUBB/LINDSEY/WYNETTE <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I tried to do You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear I love you most of all because you're you. No matter what the world may say, about you I know your love will always be true I love you for the way you never doubt me But most of all I love you 'cause you're you. --- Instrumental --- I love you because my heart is lighter Every time I'm walking by your side I love you because the future's brighter The door to happiness you've opened wide.

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings There on display (G.J) She smiles n' nods her head As he says, "Honey that's for you, It's not much, but it's the best That I can do." Chorus-both Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring (T.W.) In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune (G.J.) Tears roll down her cheeks And happy thoughts run through her head As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed." Chorus- both Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring Ooo-ooo (T.W.) In a small two room apartment As they fought their final round He says, "You won't admit it, But I know you're leavin' town." (G.J.) She says, "One thing's for certain, I don't love you any more." And throws down the ring As she walks out the door Chorus- both Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring (Both) In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings There on display, Golden ring. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BRADDOCK, BOBBY / VAN HOY, RAFE Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |

We didn't find it there so we moved on I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham We didn't find it there so we moved on I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville We didn't find it there so we moved on To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska We didn't find it there so we moved on And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine But this time only two of us moves on Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to And still you won't let me go on alone I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PUTMAN JR., CLAUDE / SHERRILL, BILLY <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

[Tammy Wynette - T.W.]
[George Jones - G.J] [G.J.] You always said someday you'd go to live (In Southern California) And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee You always talked about the better days (In Southern California) But if you'll stay in Tennessee I promise there'll be better days with me [T. W.] It's not that I don't love you But I hear the call (From Southern California) There's something I can't find in Tennessee Silver screens and limousines They wait for me in Southern California Though you've been so good to me The time has come you'll have to set me free [G.J.] Tomorrow when you leave You'll take my heart (To Southern California) But just remember I'll be here To keep your heart with me until you see [T.W. speaks] Well, it's been five years N' I guess I've cried a million tears Lookin' out the window of this little room Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar" It's almost midnight, An time to go downstairs and go to work I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee? [G.J. spoken] Well, here I sit by the window Of this big old lonely mansion Lookin' out over the Smokies And on in everything I can see Oh, I guess by now she's found What she was lookin' for And as I look at this old faded photograph Of the girl that I still love I wonder if she ever, thinks of me [Both] But the weather's good In Southern California. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RICHEY, GEORGE/SHERRILL, BILLY/BOWLING, ROGER DALE Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, FIGS D MUSIC INC OBO MISSED MEMORIES MUSIC |

Close every window and bolt every door The very first moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more Take me to your most barren desert A thousand miles from the nearest sea The very moment I saw your smile It would be like heaven to me There's not any mountain to rugged to climb No desert too barren to cross Darlin', if you would just show a sign Of love, I could bear with all loss Take me to Siberia And the coldest weather of the winter time And it would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Yes, it would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Take me, take me ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PAYNE/JONES <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

All my friends told me we'd never make it;
That love, to you, was just a game you played. And I'll admit at times we had rough goin', But in each other's arms we loved it away. And I've been told my love could never hold you; To tie it down's a price you'd never pay. And I'll admit there's times when you got restless, But in each other's arms we loved it away. Step by step we walked the road together. Hand in hand, love grew more everyday When trouble came we held on to each other, And in each other's arms we loved it away. And in each other's arms we loved it away. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RICHEY, GEORGE/TAYLOR, CARMOL <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew I took a little sip and right away I knew As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin' Shhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one s-slug and drank it right down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'... |

Up above me are the sky
Like the twinkle in your eyes These things are the color of a blue. In the mail your letter came Sayin' you can take the looks the same? Blue must be the color of the blues. Bluebirds sitting in the tree Seems to sypathize with me For he's not singin' like he used to do. The pretty waters in the sink Feel as cold as you left me Yes, blue must be the color of the blues. There's a rainbow overhead With more blue than gold and red Blue must be the color angels chose. A blue dress you proudly wore When you left to return no more Blue must be the color of the blues. Blue days come and blue days go How I feel nobody knows Life is mighty empty without you. There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you're gone Yes blue must be the color of the blues... |

Like my heart's sprung a big break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake Now you might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting What the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you'd gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart For the day was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all |

Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew I took a little sip and right away I knew As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin' Shhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one s-slug and drank it right down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'. Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, But my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'... |

Oh, you said you wes my baby
Now I know that you're my baby But it seems to me you got rovin' eye If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby You can't keep your finger in two different fire. I remember how you pleaded When you told me that you needed My lovin' I believe it without a doubt So if you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out. Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And be nobody's baby but mine. --- Instrumental --- Now I heard there was another So I went and asked your mother If anybody hung around 'sides me She gave me no satisfaction So now I can't take no action But I think that I'll just hang around and see. If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And you gotta come to me and tell me so If you're gonna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know. Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And be nobody's baby but mine. You've gotta be nobody's baby but mine... |

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham We didn't find it there so we moved on I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville We didn't find it there so we moved on To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska We didn't find it there so we moved on And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine But this time only two of us moves on Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to And still you won't let me go on alone I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PUTMAN JR., CLAUDE / SHERRILL, BILLY <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Do you take this man to be your husband?
I'll take this man, and by him I'll stand I promise that we'll never part. To him I'll be true, there'll be no one new From now, till death do us part. Do you take this woman to be your wife? Yes, I'll take this woman. She'll be mine forever. And I'll love her with all of my heart. To have and to hold, our love won't grow cold. I promise. Till death do us part. We'll take each other, from this day forward, Together in sickness or health. United with love, we'll face life together, If we're poor or if we have wealth. For better or worse, you'll always come first And no one can keep us apart. Yes, we'll take each other, forsaking all others. Together, till death do us part. Together, till death do us part. I now pronounce you man and wife. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SHERRILL, BILLY/STRICKLAND, JENNY/TAYLOR, CARMOL <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

That true love brings a girl and boy We could, we could, you and I If anyone could ever say That their true love was here to stay We could, we could, you and I When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere If anyone could pray each night And thank the Lord that all is right We could, we could, you and I When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere |

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day I said there would be no sorrow, That I'd laugh when you walked away. But A little bitty tear let me down, Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up not to make a frown, Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down. I said that I would laugh when you left me Pull a funny as you went out the door That I'd have me another one a-waiting Yes, to wave goodbye as you go. But a little bitty tear let me down, Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up not make a frown, But a little bitty tear let me down. Everything went like a planned it And I really put on quite a show In my heart I felt I could stand it Till you walked with your grip through the door. Then a little bitty tear let me down, Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up not make a frown, But a little bitty tear let me down. A little bitty tear let me down.

I found him by the railroad tracks this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dying fellow said. He said they let me out of prison back in Frisco For ten long years I've payed for what I'd done I was trying to get back to Louisiana Just to see my Rose and get to know my son. Won't you tell them I said thanks for waiting for me And tell my boy to help his mama at home Tell my Rose to try to find another For it ain't right that she should live alone. Mr. here's the bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for finding me this morning Now don't forget to give my love to Rose. Give my love to Rose, won't you Mr. Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose... |

Deep within my heart lies a melody A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue, up above A moonlit path that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart Speak once again of my love, my own Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone Instrumental Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart Speak once again of my love, my own Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone... |

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today She thinks I still care. Just because I haunt the same old places Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care. But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer But how could she ever be so foolish Oh, where would she get such an idea.

Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered Buried deep in her grave lies a girl that I love She was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven More precious than diamonds more precious than gold.

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake Now you might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting What the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you'd gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart For the day was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all |

Writers: Johnny Mathis, V. Frank and George Jones
(Changed his name from Brown to blue.) We stood there in the courthouse room So close yet far apart, You had brought your lawyer And I'd brought a broken heart, The judge pronounced the words The way you wanted him to do, And changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. I couldn't keep my tears from falling, On the courtroom floor, By law, they took away my rights, To love you anymore, My world just seemed to stop, While I stood there so close to you, They changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. The judge forgot to tell me How I'd live my life alone, What I would do without you After loving you so long, He didn't seem to care that I am still in love with you, He changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue. I couldn't keep my tears from falling, On the courtroom floor, By law, they took away my rights, To love you anymore, My world just seemed to stop, While I stood there so close to you, They changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to blue... |

Written by Hank Williams, Sr. Everybody says you let me down That I should be ashamed to take you 'round Makes no difference what you used to do Darling, I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you were reckless yesterday But together, we can find a brighter way In my heart, I know that you'll come through Darling, I could never be ashamed of you All the happiness I've ever known Came the day you said you'd be my own And it matters not what we go through Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you've been cheated in the past And perhaps those memories will always last Even though you proved to be untrue Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you... |

I know you tried your best to love me,
You smiled when your heart told you to weep; You tried to pretend that you were happy, Last night I heard you crying in your sleep. You gave the best years of your life, Dear, And each precious vow you tried to keep; I love you so much I want you happy, Last night I heard you crying in your sleep. --- Instrumental --- Your heart is yearning for an old love, With new love it's useless to compete; It hurts me to know you are unhappy, 'Cause, last night I heard you crying in your sleep. You know that you are free to go, Dear, And don't mind if I start to weep; I know I can never make you happy, 'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep... |

I just don't like this kind of livin' I'm tired of doin' all the givin'
I give my all and sit and yearn and get no lovin' in return And I just don't like this kind of livin' Why do we stay together if we always fuss and fight You ain't never done to be wrong and I ain't never been right Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin' When things go wrong you go your way you leave me here to pay and pay And I just don't like this kind of livin' [ steel ] I just don't like the things you're doin' your evil heart will be your ruin When things start running smooth and free you haul right off and you pick on me And I just don't like this way of livin' They say the road of love is long it's rocky and it's rough But if this road don't start to get smooth I've traveled it long enough Why don't you act a little bit older and get that chip off of your shoulder Well I told you once now I'll tell you twice you better start to treatin' me nice Cause I just don't like this kind of livin' |

It's a sin, my darlin', how I love you
Because I know our love can never be It's a sin to keep this memory of you When silence proves that you've forgetten me. But dreams are built for us as humblers Each tie is broken like my heart It's a sin, my darling, how I love you So mush in love and yet so far apart --- Instrumental --- I'm sure you're happy with another Whose cares and lovin' I can't win Why pretend that I can live without you When deep inside I know that it's a sin... |

(George Jones)
A≪ Aⓒ '63 Glad Music A≫ Well here I stand on this high ground Looking out over this great big town Searching for love that didn't treat me right It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay A friend he told me that she came this way He said that he saw her by the neon lights It's a lonesome old town tonight I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars They're too far away for me to see who they are I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight It's a lonesome old town tonight Well here I stand on this high ground Looking for my baby but she can't be found The stars are out and the moon is bright It's a lonesome old town tonight I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay... Well here I stand on this high ground... It's a lonesome old town tonight |

I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam I left my gal and left my home I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. Just a kid acting smart I went and broke my darling's heart I guess I was too young to know They took me off that Georgia Main locked me to a ball and chain I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. --- Instrumental --- All alone I bear the shame, I'm a number not a name I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine, I'm in Georgia doing time I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow... |

(Just hang around my tears are overdue)
If you want to see somebody cry their heart out For a love they lost and must live without If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue. If you want to hear confessions from a broken man Who once held a world of love, right in his hands If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you Just hang around my tears are overdue. Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work I hope you won't forget the sight you see today Just remember love I had then threw away. If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue. Just hang around my tears are overdue... |

Just when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again Then the clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just cant win. My love never meant much to you dear Or yo you I was always a friend Oh, why did I call, You have no heart at all Sometimes you just cant win. --- Instrumental --- I can't live like this any longer Not knowing just where I stand I know I should't care But sweetheart it don't seem fair Sometimes you just cant win And then when the sunshines the brightest And the world looks alright, again The clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just can't win... |

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Take these chains from my heart and set me free. Take these tears from my eyes and let me see Just a spark of the love that used to be If you love somebody new let me find a new love too Take these chains from my heart and set me free. --- Instrumental --- Give my heart just a word of sympathy Be as fair to my heart as you can be Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there Take these chains from my heart and set me free. Take these chains from my heart and set me free You've grown cold and no longer care for me All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Take these chains from my heart and set me free... |
