"Barroom Habits"

"Barroom Habits"


Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn

Well, the kids came out to play last Sunday morning
And I came in from playing all night long
I walked in and slammed the door
And put my cigarette out on the floor
And I told her a dirty joke and the fight was on.

Well, you better quit bringing
Those barroom habits home to mama
Yeah, you better quit callin' me Rosie
When you know that's not my name
When you come home it's like a bad dream
I follow you round tryin' to keep the place clean
You better quit bringing
Those barroom habits home to mama.

Last night I got high and I got lonesome
And I remember just what I needed was waitin' at home
I popped a top all over the wall
And after that she wasn't friendly at all
And I could tell by the look in her eye
That I done something wrong
Well, you better quit bringing.

Yeah, you better quit bringing
Those barroom habits home to mama
Yeah, you better quit callin' me Rosie
When you know that's not my name
When you come home it's like a bad dream
I follow you round tryin' to keep the place clean
You better quit bringing
Those barroom habits home to mama...

"Be Proud Of Your Man"

"Be Proud Of Your Man"


Darling, I love you, can't you see
So help me, and love me all you can
And if you love me, then love me
For what I am, not what I should be
Woman be proud of your man.

Walk with me, not on me,
Talk to me, not about me
Help me don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.

Laugh with me, not at me
Look at me, not through me
Face me, don't disgrace me
Be proud of your man.

Pull with me, not against me
See some good in the bad in me
Reassure me, don't destroy me
Be proud of your man.

Be behind me, not above me
Hold me, don't control me
Help me, don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.

Woman be proud of your man...

"Beach Comber"

"Beach Comber"


I was standing on the seashore
Looking down into the sea
When a good looking girl
Came a walkin' up to me
She was a blond haired
Green eyed good lookin' baby to me.

I said come on, come on baby,
Don't you walk the other way
I'll be right behind you, ahh honey,
Every step you take
'Cause you're a blond haired
Green eyed good lookin' baby to me.

Well, I never stopped, ahhhh baby, look into my eyes
Then baby do you realize how much I love you,
You'd never know, whoa, whoa, whoa, Whoa,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah.

I went back to the seashore
And there beside me
Was my blond haired baby,
Baby, she's lying there with me.
Well, She's a blond haired
Green eyed good looking baby to me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My blond haired baby,
Well, my baby, baby
Blond haired baby.
Baby, baby, my blond haired baby...

"Before I'll Set Her Free"

"Before I'll Set Her Free"


I stood and saw the judge's gavel fall
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
You'd be better off if you'll set her free.

But I love her, I love her, down on my knees I cry
And I don't want to lose her, heaven knows I try
To make her happy, but she wants more than me
And I'll take her like she is, before I'll set her free

Judge, I know she loves me in her own kind of way
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
But judge what would you do if you were me.

You see I love her, I love her, inspite of all she's done
And I'll keep right on hoping, someday that time will come
When she'll decide that she wants only me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free...

"Before The Next Teardrop Falls"

"Before The Next Teardrop Falls"


If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

Though it hurts to let you go darling I want you to know
I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that he made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cried
And if he ever leaves you blue just remember that I love you
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

"Before Your Time"

"Before Your Time"


Other arms have held me before your time
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light
You see in my eyes tonight.
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time

Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me
Say the things I say to you today
But darling that was long before your time.

Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time.

Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time...

"Best Is Yet To Come"

"Best Is Yet To Come"


I watched the shadow of her body on the wall
As she slowly moved across the room
Anticipatin' Lord, I can't stand the waitin'
As I looked through the gown she slipped into

I hear my heart beating out of time
As I feel her body move so close to mine
With just one touch my soul surrenders
And once again she takes control of me

But the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come

I feel her breathin' gently on my shoulder
Lying here in loves sweet after glow
But I still feel the fire
Cause tonight she took me higher
Than she had ever takin' me before

Ah, but I know the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come

Yeah, the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come...

"Between Blue Eyes And Jeans"

"Between Blue Eyes And Jeans"


Somewhere between her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.

She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.

And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.

Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.

Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.

She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans...

"Big Man Above"

"Big Man Above"


Sometimes in life we ought to think twice
About the people that we step on
Better show our worth while here on earth
For soon the chance is gone

Don't gossip about your neighbor
We gotta show more love
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

I gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

Life is but a vapor
It's here and then it's gone
What we build in heaven
Will be there from now on

But things we gather here on earth
Will soon decay and rust
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

Gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"


In the twilight glow, I see her
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain;
As we kissed goodbye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.

Love is like a dying ember,
Only memories remain;
Through the ages I'll remember,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.

Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain;
I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again;
And in a land that knows no parting,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Blue eyes crying in the rain...
