"My Heart Skips A Beat"
(originally by Buck Owens)

"My Heart Skips A Beat"
(originally by Buck Owens)

Oh, my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

Well, I did a double take the day I met you
My heart turned a flip as I stood next to you
And I knew right there I never could forget you
For you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

Well, you came into my life without a warning
You turned my cloudy skies from gray to blue
You're my sunshine that comes up every morning
Oh yes, you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat as we walk down the street
I feel a trembling in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

"Mystery Train"

"Mystery Train"

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone

Train train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train train, comin' 'round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again (no, not again)

Train train, comin' down, down the line
Train train, comin' down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby, 'cause she's mine all, all mine
(She's mine, all, all mine)

"Near You"

"Near You"

Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you, Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much for me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way to keep me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Every morning, night and noon
I will be near you, Oh and dear you
Won't even have to do much for me to feel you
Are sincere you
Like a magnet pull so strong it keeps me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

I could try to just lie and tell people I'm free
Like a wave telling sand it won't go back to the sea
But what I say doesn't do no good
Like I ever thought it would

Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you, Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much for me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way to keep me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love...

"Never Hold You"

"Never Hold You"

I've seen 'em watch you and
Make plans what they'll do when
Someday you are no longer mine

I've heard 'em carry on about
How when I'm finally gone they're
Gonna treat you, oh, so fine

But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried

I could have told them
You bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you for a prize

I could have told them
Those foolish soul'd men that
They'd never hold you if they tried hey

I've been made real aware of
Pleasure that they'll share with
You soon as I slip your mind

I've listened to 'em boast how
I'll just be a ghost once
They start takin' up your time

But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried

I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried hey

"New San Antonio Rose"

"New San Antonio 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
Her 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 path by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

"No Future In Sight"

"No Future In Sight"

The clock in your pocket keeps tickin'
But that don't get prayed to by me
I threw away all I was given
Just so that I could be free

I've got no future in sight
Time won't deny that I'm right
The past has always been bright
But I've got no future in sight

So, if for me you have come a-lookin'
You better knock with a gun in your hand
For boldness has started a journey
That only the graveyard will end

I've got no future in sight
Time won't deny that I'm right
The past has always been bright
But I've got no future in sight

I made love to my pretty wife this morning
Then I kissed my sleepin' babies goodbye
And have set forth upon those who decided
That this is the day I'd die

And I've got no future in sight
Time won't deny that I'm right
The past has always been bright
But I've got no future in sight

"No Such Thing"

"No Such Thing"

There's no such thing
As tears or heartache
There's no such thing
As lonely or blue
There's no such thing
As any memory about us
Cause there's no such thing
As me and you

There's no such thing
As it turning out badly
There's no such thing
As hopes and dreams gone bust
There's no such thing
As this all ending sadly
Cause where we are concerned
There is no such thing as love

You never wanted
To be kissed or told
That I never wanted
Another to hold
We never laughed, we never cried
If that's not the truth,
It's just better to lie

Cause there's no such thing
As any trouble forgetting
And there's no such thing
As deceit or mistrust
Yeah, there's no such thing
As remorse or regretting
Cause where we're concerned
There was no such thing as love

Where we're concerned
There was no such thing as love

"North To Alaska"

"North To Alaska"

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Big Sam left Seattle
In the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt, his partner
And brother Billy, too
They crossed the Yukon River
And found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain,
Just a little southeast of Nome

Sam crossed the majestic mountains
To the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights a runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one

Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

George turned to Sam
With his gold in his hand
Said, "Sam, you're lookin'
At a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold
That's buried in this land
For one small band of gold
To place on sweet Jenny's hand

'Cause a man needs a woman
To love him all the time
You know Sam, a true love
Is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny
A honeymoon home
Beneath that old white mountain
Just a little south of Nome."

Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Well North to Alaska

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Way up North, way up North

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Way up North...

"Nothing"

"Nothing"

I couldn't change your heart
I couldn't change your mind
So I just have to learn to live with
This empty life you've left behind

You didn't try to hear
You didn't try to see
No you just stared right through the teardrops
Like there was nothing left of me

Nothing but sorrow
Nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name, yeah
Nothing but sadness
Nothing but fear
Nothing but silence heard around here

Bridges were burned
Lessons were learned
Promises made that were broken
Tender lies so softly spoken

[spoken]
You didn't try to hear
You didn't try to see
You just stared right through the teardrops
Like there was nothing left of me

Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow)
Nothing but pain (nothing)
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness)
Nothing but fear (nothing)
Nothing but silence heard around here
Heard around here

Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow)
Nothing but pain (nothing)
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Whisper your name
Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness)
Nothing but fear (nothing)
Nothing but silence heard around here
Heard around here

I couldn't change your heart

"Nothing But Love"

"Nothing But Love"

Nothing but love will ever heal your torn up heart
Nothing but love can fix the worn out, broke, lost, empty, part
Nothing but love
Is strong enough

To make you forget what you won’t believe
If nothing but love is all there was
Then nothing but love is there for you and me

Nothing but love and just love will leave
Nothing but love for you and me
Nothing but love is there when the rest is gone
Nothing but love is left after each regret moves on
Nothing but love stays long enough
To forgive every last sad memory
If nothing but love is all there was
Then nothing but love is still there for you and me
