"Don't Let Me Cross Over"

"Don't Let Me Cross Over"


I'm tempted my darlin' to steal you away
Don't let me cross over, stay out of my way
'Cause you know that I love you and I'm not the stealin' kind
But I'm faced with heartache here at love's cheating line
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
I've tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you want me too
And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
I don't want to cheat dear, but I can't help myself
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

"Don't Think Twice"

"Don't Think Twice"


Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelln' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

There ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
There ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me want to change my mind and stay
We never did do much talkin' anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right
Nah, don't think twice, don't think twice, It's all right

But there ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
Like you never did before
And there ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
'Cause I can't hear you anymore

Well, I'm thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a man but that love grew old
I gave him my heart but he wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right

So now I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, well I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I'm gonna say fare thee well

But now I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have loved me better but now I don't mind
But you just kinda sorta wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right
No, don't think twice, don't think twice, it's all right
Don't think twice, don't think twice, it's all right

"Down"

"Down"


Spent all my money on everyone else
Why I just kept handing it out right and left
They didn't appreciate none of my help
I have found
Had me a man
I was so much in love
But he just walked off after using me up
I cried like a baby
It hurt me so much and I'm down
Yeah, I'm sure down
I know that I'm down but I'm gonna get up
I just need some time
Just need a little streak of good luck
And you know that it's rough when your bitting the dust like I am
You try to do right but tell me where does that get you
People just use you and then they forget you
Well it wont take me long
To get my feet back on solid ground
But now I'm down
When I get my life back in order again
Well I'll still be willing to help out my friends
And if you need some body or wished it had been, look around
I'll be spending my money on everyone else
Well I'll just be handing it out right and left
I'll find a new love i wont live by myself
I'm just down, now, yeah I'm down
I know that I'm down but I'm gonna get up
I just need some time
Just need a little streak of good luck
And you know that it's rough when your bitting the dust like I am
You try to do right but tell me where does that get you
People just use you and then they forget you
Well it wont take me long
To get my feet back on solid ground
But now I'm down
I know that I'm down
But I'm bound to get up

"Down From Dover"

"Down From Dover"


I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover
And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover

He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover

I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me
He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover

My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover

"Down On Music Row"

"Down On Music Row"


[Chorus:]
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go

I could feel a change a comin'
I left my hometown a hummin'
With my ol' guitar a strummin'
Songs that I had wrote
I was on my way to Nashville
I just couldn't hardly wait
'Till I could sing my songs
To the folks on Music Row

I got into Nashville early
Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty
And on the steps of RCA
I ate a stale, sweet roll
In the fountain at the hall of fame
I washed my face and read the names
In the walkway of the stars
Down on Music Row

[Chorus]

I waited there 'till eight o'clock
When office doors became unlocked
Then I started walkin'
Down the streets of Music Row
Just a walkin' up and down the street
Tryin' to find out who to see
To help me get on record
And to hear the songs I'd wrote

But I found it goin' rough
Everyone was all tied up
Either in a conference
Or in the studio
They said that I could leave a tape
But they'd suggest I didn't wait
'Cause everyone was awful busy
Down on Music Row

But I could feel that change a comin'
And I just kept right on a hummin'
With my ol' guitar still strummin'
All them songs that I'd wrote
And then Chet and Bob at RCA
Well, they listened to my songs that day
And they both told me that I was on my way
Down on Music Row

[Chorus]

"Downtown"

"Downtown"


When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown
Things'll be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows, downtown
Or maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of the music that they're playin'
Making conversation while you're on the dance floor swayin'
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
You can forget all your troubles
Just forget all your cares

And go downtown
Things'll be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything's waiting for you

Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown

Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown

"Dr. Robert F. Thomas"

"Dr. Robert F. Thomas"


[Chorus:]
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. Thomas was a man
The Lord must have appointed
To live among us mountain folks
In eastern Tennessee
And he delivered more than half
The babies in those mountains
Among those babies
He delivered me
There was no way to drive along
The roads back in those mountains
But Dr. Thomas got there
Just the same
He often rode on horseback
To get where he was needed
But if he had to walk
He always came
[Chorus]
Dr. Thomas was a friend
A neighbor and a doctor
Though he seldom got a dime
For all he'd done
And I remember lots of times
We sent for Dr. Thomas
But I don't recall a time
He didn't come
They say a man is judged
By the deeds he does while livin'
A judgement when he stands
Before the Lord
And I know heaven holds a place
For men like Dr. Thomas
And I know that he'll receive
His just reward
[Chorus]

"Dreams Do Come True"

"Dreams Do Come True"


Like the morning sun
His love moved across every inch of my body
And the heat from the fire burned me up with desire
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven for sure
This morning when I opened my eyes
There to my surprise
Lay that angel I thought had been only a dream
And so I said a little prayer
And thanked God, that he was there
Oh, this is a dream come true
Dream do come true
I know 'cause I found you
I never thought they did
But now I do
Dreams do come true
It was love at first sight
And it was love all night
And the way he made love to me
Fulfilled all my fantasies
Ooo, this is a dream come true
Yes, dreams do come true
I know 'cause I found you
I never thought they did
But you're living proof
That dreams do come true
Dreams do come true
And I am so in love with you

"Drives Me Crazy"

"Drives Me Crazy"


Oh, you drive me crazy.
I can't stop the way I feel.
Things you do don't seem real.
Tell you what I got in mind
'cause we're runnin' out of time.
Just turn loose and let it be,
This waitin' 'round is killin' me.
You drive me crazy like no one else.
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself.

I can't get any rest. People say that I'm obsessed.
You're everything I want in life, but to me that's no surprise.
And what I have I'll give to you.
I hope you feel the same way, too.

'Cause you drive me crazy
Like no one else.
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself.

I won't make it on my own.
No one likes to be alone.
You drive me crazy, yes it's true.
I'd give it all up just to be with you.

'Cause you drive me crazy like no one else.
Oh, you drive me crazy and I can't help myself, I can't help myself.
Oh, you drive me crazy like no one else.
You drive me crazy and I can't help myself.

Oh, you drive me crazy like no one else.
Oh, you drive me crazy and I can't help myself.
Oh, you drive me crazy like nobody else.
You drive me crazy, can't help myself.

I'm gonna hold you all night long.
And I'm gonna love you 'til the cows come home.
Drive me crazy like a rock in my shoe.
I can't keep my mind off-a you.
Drive me crazy and that's a fact,
You're the one that's a makin' me feel like that.

You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy, I'm a lunatic.
I'd do anything for your sweet kiss.
Drive me crazy, can't help myself.
Drive me crazy like nobody else.
You drive me crazy, oh you drive me crazy.

"Dumb Blond"

"Dumb Blond"


Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
