You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares You may be a king and you may possess The world and all its gold But gold won't bring you happiness When you're growin' old The world is still the same, you'll never change it Just as long as the stars shine above Well, you're nobody 'til somebody loves you So find yourself somebody to love The world is still the same, you'll never change it Just as long as the stars shine above You're nobody 'til somebody loves you So find yourself somebody, find yourself somebody Find yourself somebody to love |

YOU'LL NEVER LOVE ME NOW
(Merle Haggard) ≪ ⓒ '68 Tree Publishing, BMI ≫ Admitting you're to blame won't heal my wounded pride It's too late to be ashamed I've already stepped aside Just let me live again and please don't come around If you never loved me then you'll never love me now You fooled me all the way each time you held me tight But when darkness turned to day then I finally saw the light When I really needed you that's when you let me down If you never loved me then you'll never love me now Just let me live again... |

My legs and my feet
Have walked 'till they can't hardly move from tryin' to please you And my back is sore From bendin' over backwards to just lay the world at your door. I've tried so hard to keep a smile on a sad face while deep down It's breakin' my heart And as sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime Not knowin' if I've done my part 'Cause You Take Me For Granted And it's breakin' my heart As sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime Not knowin' if I've done my part. |

> You always find the way to hurt my pride
If I'm not crying you're not satisfied And I don't know why you wanna hurt me so If you're tryin' to break my heart You don't have very far to go You don't have very far to go Before the heartache begins I already feel the sadness Of a heartbreak settin' in I don't know why you wanna hurt me so If you're tryin' to break my heart You don't have very far to go You don't have very far to go Before the heartache begins I already feel the sadness Of a heartbreak settin' in You're turnin' down The flame of love too low And if you're tryin' to break my heart You don't have very far to go |

Our love keeps drifting and you keep giving me to blame
I go on loving you although it's all in vain Now you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I I give my everything but you don't even try I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end Although I know it's over my heart just won't give in So you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I I give my everything but you don't even try I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end Although I know it's over my heart just won't give in So you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I I give my everything but you don't even try |

Sometimes this ol' world's a drag, it really puts me down
I try so hard but nothin' comes around Then I look up to find that I've no reason to be blue I've already found the whole wide world with you And if there's nothin' else I do To spend my whole life through Lovin' you, babe, you babe I'll always be in command Just as long as I'm the man Lovin' you, babe, you babe And I can stand real tall Stand up to it all lovin' you, baby, just you One time this old rocky road block was just too tough I felt like sayin', "Lord, I've had enough? Then I heard something special that a deaf man couldn't miss I heard it in the whisper of your kiss And if there's nothin' else I do To spend my whole life through Lovin' you babe, you babe I'll always be in command Just as long as I'm the man Lovin' you babe, you babe And I can stand real tall Stand up to it all lovin' you, baby, just you Lovin' you babe, you babe |

(I'd like to do a song now that was recoded by a pretty pearly country group known as The Beatles I know you heard them many times from the Grand Ole Opry ha-ha...
But seriously this is the song that as a songwriter myself I appreciate very much and I'd like to do it for you and I hope you'll enjoy) Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said something wrong now I long for yesterday Yesterday love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday Why she had to go... I believe in yesterday |

Wouldn't that be something
If I spread my wings and showed you I could fly away? Wouldn't that be something If I ask you to fly with me on some wild and windy day? Wouldn't that be something If we both fell together and you threw your arms Around me like you needed me Wouldn't that be something? Hey, wouldn't that be something? You'd probably laugh if you could see the dream I had last night You and I together on a maiden rocket flight You were seated there beside me with that happy frightened look You and I got young again on that rocket flight we took Now wouldn't that be something If you could look at me and see somebody prayed again? Wouldn't that be something If you should sang to me today I started loving you again? Wouldn't that be something If we could look inside each other's minds And always find each other when we needed to? Wouldn't that be some thing? Wouldn't that be some thing? Now wouldn't that be something If you could look at me and see somebody prayed again? Wouldn't that be something If you should sang to me today I started loving you again? Wouldn't that be something If we could look inside each other's minds And always find each other when we needed to? Wouldn't that be some thing? Wouldn't that be some thing?

Just outside these prison walls a hanging tree is waiting
Tomorrow I'll meet darkness as death will say hello Darling put you lips to mine and tell me that you love Hold me close again before you go [Chorus] T Will you visit me on Sundays, Will you bring me pretty flowers Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush brush away a tear A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear Darling, will I hear your footsteps up there. Promise me that time won't separate me from your memory That you will still remember me in days of silver hair If not for you I know I'd lose my life before the morning Hold me close and tell me that you care [Chorus] |

To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse Love is hard to find love of any kind And a love like yours and mine creates it's own design So why do I have to choose see everybody lose To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse And when I think of her and then I think of you The love is not the same but either love is true Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse |

To homestead some of this free government land Forty mile from the nearest gravel road we cut our life in the ponderosa pines We sweated hard to beat the winter snow But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times What have you got planned tonight Diana would you consider laying in my arms I love you more than ever now Diana I'm sure you're the reason I was born Jim was born the first year we were here look at him my God he's almost grown The baby's in the cradle fast asleep just think in no time he'll be up and gone What have you got planned tonight Diana... The time sure does fly doesn't it Dianna It's been almost two years now since since you've been gone Speaking of time I guess you know that mine's bout up I'm gonna see you tonight Just another breath or two and I'll be home by the way What have you got planned tonight Diana... |

We're caught in a trap like prisoners in a cage
Growing old from hate not from age The runnin' love we had is down to crawl We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all You go out with someone else while I'm out with someone too Yet we come back to prison when we're through Why don't we just stay out? But we still can climb the wall We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all Are we afraid that we'll wind up along? Is this the tide that keeps us hanging on? Why don't we just stay out while we still can climb the wall? We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all Are we afraid that we'll wind up along? Is this the tide that keeps us hanging on?

<lyrics>All around the water tank
Sleepin' in the rain A thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train I walked up to a brake-man Just to give him a line of talk He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk. Well I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show He said "Get off, you railroad bum" And he slammed the boxcar door. Well he put me off in Texas A state I dearly love With the wide open spaces All around me The moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Or to lend a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco Heading back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty My heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train. |

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star,
Can you send me luck from where you are? Can you make a rainbow shine that far? Twinkle, twinkle lucky star. Can you really make a wish come true? Do you shine on just a chosen few? Is it over? Have I gone to far? Twinkle, twinkle lucky star. Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart, And you found an island at sea. Now I'm still driftin' with this pain in my heart. Won't you send her sweet love back to me? Twinkle, twinkle lucky star, Can you send me luck from where you are? Can you make a rainbow shine that far? Twinkle, twinkle lucky star. Instrumental.

Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
Wondering where the freight train goes Standin' in the field by the railroad track Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack I can see mom and dad with shoulders low Both of 'em pickin' on a double row They do it for a livin' because they must That's life like it is in the Tulare dust The California sun was something new That when we arrived in '42 And I can still remember how my daddy cussed The tumbleweeds here in the Tulare dust The wally fever was a comin' fate To the farmworkers here in the Golden State And I miss Oklahoma but I'll stay If I must and help make a livin' in the Tulare dust The Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose Wondering where the freight train goes Standin' in the field by the railroad track Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack |

You asked me not to call you on the phone But there's something I'm wanting to tell you So I wrote it in the words of this song I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life The glamor of the gay night life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you wait to be anybody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever know I didn't know God made |

Sittin' on a park bench with the funnies in my hand Trying hard to laugh at what I see The sunny side of my life is shining somewhere else Nothing's quite the way it ought to be Oh the sunny side of my life... |

Oh, the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp And late at night a hand would knock And there would stand a stranger Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp Yeah, the weeds were high, the corn was dry When daddy took to drinking Him and Sally Walker, they up and ran away Then Momma shed a silent tear And promised fourteen children "I swear you'll never see a hungry day" When Momma sacrificed her pride The neighbours started talking But we were much too young To understand the things they said All we really cared about Was Momma's chicken dumplings And a goodnight kiss Before we went to bed Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide From footsteps leading to our cabin Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp And late at night a hand would knock And there would stand a stranger Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp When Daddy left and destitution Came upon our family Not one neighbour volunteered To lend a helping hand So just let 'em gossip all they want She loved us, and she raised us The proof is standing here A full grown man Last summer Momma passed away And left the ones who loved her Each and every one is More than grateful for their birth And each Sunday she receives A big bouquet of fourteen roses With a card that reads 'The Greatest Mom on Earth' Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide From footsteps leading to our cabin Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp And late at night a hand would knock And there would stand a stranger Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp |

Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away They both robbed and killed until both of them died So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde The poems that she wrote of the life that they led Told of the lawmen left dying or dead Some say that Clyde made her life a shame But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game The rampage grew wilder with each passing day The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way With the end growing closer, the harder they fought With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught They drove back from town on one bright summer day When a man they befriended stepped out in the way With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde Two years or runnin' was ended that day For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay But we'll always remember how they lived and died So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde |

If you're runnin' down my country, man, You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me. Runnin' down the way of life, Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep. If you don't love it, leave it: Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.

Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses
In this little country chapel that's almost falling down There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening When I give my one possession to that city boy from town His hair is a little longer than we're use to But, I guess I should find something good to say About this man who's won the farmer's daughter And will soon become my son-in-law today Mama left eight years ago December And it was hard to be a Dad and Mama too But, somehow we made home of this old farmhouse And love was all my baby ever knew He could be the richest man in seven counties And not be good enough to take her hand But, he says he really loves the farmer's daughter And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man |

Your strange love was what I found
The day the rains came down And I remember we found shelter in the cave With the rain clouds up above In the darkness we found love The day the rains came I became your slave As the rains made rivers swell I fell deeper in your spell You took my hand and handed me a crown If I could just live on with these things I have known I know that I'd be glad of what I've found As the rains made rivers swell I fell deeper in your spell You took my hand and handed me a crown But if I could just live on with these things I have known I know that I'd be glad of what Ive found Your strange love was what I found (fade) The day the rains came down |

Each night I leave the barroom when it over Not feeling any pain at closing time But tonight you memory found me much to sober Couldn drink enough to keep you off my mind Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I found Tonight the bottle let down I always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I been turning everyday But the wind don take effect the way it used to And I hurting in an old familiar way Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I found Tonight the bottle let down |

I've been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder I've spent most all my life Looking for that four-leafed clover But you ran with me, Chasing all my rainbows Honey I love you, too And that's the way love goes. That's the way love goes, babe That's the music God made For all the world to sing It never gets old; it grows Losing makes me sorry You say, |

I get this going fever everytime I hear a tune
That talks about South Texas where the cactus is in bloom I feel I oughta be there every evening after dark To hear the fiddler fiddlin' around a tune called Old Joe Clark We played that show in Tulsa then it was Ft Worth bound We headed south on 35 to that South Texas town It's a different world and a lot of fun if you like that country sound You can find yourself a partner when they boil that cabbage down If you're ever down in Texas and feeling all alone There's a lot of kicker places just south of San Antone Ain't nothin' fancy mind ya just a place where good folks go You can hear the bootheels start to click when they play the Cotton Eyed Joe |

You taught me how to love with all my heart
With all my soul I trusted you And now you say we'll have to live apart A thing I don't know how to do You say someday I'll find somebody new And I'll have not one regret Stay a while if what you say is true Stay and teach me to forget You taught me how to worship you alone And now you say that you must go And people call me on the telephone Just to say I told you so You say someday I'll find somebody new And I'll have not one regret Stay a while if what you say is true Stay and teach me to forget Stay and teach me to forget |

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 so I can see Just a spark of the love that used to be If you love somebody new, let me find somebody too Take these chains from my heart and set me free 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 my heartaches linger on Take these chains from my heart and set me free |
