He Made Me Free

He Made Me Free

I had drifted for so long with my life so full of wrong
That the Lord should have turned his back on me
But he took the trembling hand of a lost and lonely man
Broke the chains from mortal shame and made me free
Yes he took away the sin from my soul where it had been
And he helped my blinding eyes again to see
Yes and now I understand the beauty of salvation's plan
Out on the cross you paid the cost and made me free
I had sunk so deep in shame never calling on his name
All the joys of life had turned to misery
But then he gave me back control of my lost and wandering soul
Removed the fears dried my tears and made me free
Yes he took away the sin that had stained me deep within
And he gave me back the fate that I might see
Now I'm so glad I understand the promise of salvation's plan
Out on the cross you paid the cost and made me free

He Stopped Loving Her Today

He Stopped Loving Her Today

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

He's So Good To Me

He's So Good To Me

He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me.

When life darkness starts closing in
I meet in secret with my special friend
He talks to me and calmness begins
He is so good to me.

He is so good to me
He is so good to me.
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me

--- Instrumental ---

Each days burdens may touch my soul
But I meet with him and He makes me whole
My troubles gone and rest on the sea
He is so good to me.

He is so good to me
He is so good to me.
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me.

He is so good to me
He is so good to me.
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me.

He is so good to me
He is so good to me.
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me...

Heartaches And Hangovers

Heartaches And Hangovers

Well, tonight I hit every doggone joint in town
And while my bottle keeps a-talkin' to me it don't need you around
But tomorrow ain't gonna hold me no big surprise
I'll have a hunk in mind and a pair of bloodshot eyes.

'Cause I've got heartaches and hangovers since you've been gone
Heartaches and hangovers now I'm all alone
Lock the door and disconnect the phone
'Cause I've got heartaches and hangovers since you've been gone.

--- Instrumental ---

As the days go by I'm a-drinkin' more and more
Well, I like it like that
My only friend is down at the liquor store
I buy the jug it takes away the pain
And I'm a-knowin' tomorrow that things will be the same.

'Cause I have heartaches and hangovers since you've been gone
Heartaches and hangovers now I'm all alone
I lock the door and disconnect the phone
'Cause I got heartaches and hangovers since you've been gone.

Yes, I got heartaches and hangovers since you've been gone...

Heartaches By The Number

Heartaches By The Number

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay

(Chorus)
Now I've got heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less, each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

(Repeat Chorus)

Heartbroken Me

Heartbroken Me

Heartbroken me, lonesome as can be
Heartbroken, sad and so blue
Lonesome for your charms and your lovin' arms
Heartbroken 'cause I'm losin' you.

Most every night I lie awake
Just cryin' 'cause we're through
I'd give the world if I could hear
That she's been cryin' too.

Heartbroken me, lonesome as can be
Heartbroken 'cause I'm losin' you.

--- Instrumental ---


Heartbroken me, lonesome as can be
Heartbroken, sad and so blue
Lonesome for your charms and your lovin' arms
Heartbroken 'cause I'm losin' you.

Most every night I lie awake
Just cryin' 'cause we're through
I'd give the world if I could hear
That she's been cryin' too.

Heartbroken me, lonesome as can be
Heartbroken 'cause I'm losin' you...

Hearts In My Dream

Hearts In My Dream

I dreamed that all the hearts I've broken came to visit me
And in my sleep they came to pay me for their misery
They were all so torn and shattered, Oh such tales of woe
It was I who caused them all and my conscience hurts me so
Hearts in my dream
Each one of them true
Each one loved me so
Each one I broke in two
My younger days were wild and reckless
Just love 'em and let 'em be
Those days are gone although it took a dream to make me see
Hearts in my dream
Each one of them true
Each one loved me so
Each one I broke in two
My younger days were wild and reckless
Just love 'em and let 'em be
Those days are gone although it took a dream to make me see

Heckel And Jeckel

Heckel And Jeckel

Well, you and me baby know what love's all about
It sure wasn't easy oh, but we figured it out
No matter what happens we'll see it through
Baby, don't you see there ain't no me without you

We're like Heckle and Jeckle, Jeckle and Hyde
Frankie and Jonny oh, Bonnie and Clyde
Just like Laurel and Hardy, Bartles and James
One without the other baby, just ain't the same

We've held it together and together we'll stand
You and me against the world hand in hand
A team of wild horses couldn't pull us apart
Forever joined together heart to heart

Just like Heckle and Jeckle, Jeckle and Hyde
Frankie and Jonny oh, Bonnie and Clyde
Just like Laurel and Hardy, Bartles and James
One without the other baby, just ain't the same

Just like birds of a feather we fit like a glove
When we snuggle together like two bugs in a rug

We're like Heckle and Jeckle, Jeckle and Hyde
Frankie and Jonny, Willie and Waylon, Bonnie and Clyde
Just like Laurel and Hardy, Bartles and James
One without the other baby, just ain't the same

We're like Heckle and Jeckle, Jeckle and Hyde
Frankie and Jonny, Willie and Dolly, Bonnie and Clyde
Just like Laurel and Hardy, Bartles and James
One without the other baby, just ain't the same

Hell Stays Open All Night Long

Hell Stays Open All Night Long

She said hello
And I said hon', it's me
She said I might have known
And I said oh, listen please
Leaving you for her was wrong
Please let me come back home
This old town's closed down
And I have no place to go

(Chorus
And she said
Hell stays open all night long
Hell never closes
It's open from dawn 'til dawn
When I slammed the door to heaven
I should have known
Hell stays open all night long

She said good-bye
Don't call me anymore
For the one that I love now
Is at my door
Some one has took your place
This is something you'll just have to face
As far as I'm concerned
When you have no place to go - remember

(Repeat chorus)

To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
