"His Lovin' Her Is Getting In My Way"

"His Lovin' Her Is Getting In My Way"


His name is on my mailbox where mine was yesterday
His face is in the mirror where I once used to shave
His clothes are in my closet, his car's in my driveway
And his loving her is a-gettin' in my way
Yes, his loving her is a-gettin' in my way
No, I don't want to have to hurt him but I may
His time is a-growin' shorter day by day
His loving her is a-gettin' in my way
His loving her is a-gettin' in my way

He's drinking my tequilla and Johnny Walker red
He's eating from my table, he's been sleepin' in my bed
His finger touch my woman where mine once used to play
Lord, His loving her is a-gettin' in my way
Oh well, his loving her is a-gettin' in my way
I don't want to have to jerk his beard out but I may
But his time is a-growin' shorter day by day
His loving her is a-gettin' in my way
His loving her is a-gettin' in my way
Yes, his loving her is a-gettin' in my way
No, I don't want to have to hurt him but I may
His time is a-growin' shorter day by day
His loving her is a-gettin' in my way...

"Hit And Run"

"Hit And Run"


No, I didn't see you comin' as I was goin' down life's street
I met you and you knocked me off my feet
You left me lame and crippled lovin' you was all I've done
You wrecked my life forever for you're a hit and run.

I should have known that you were speeding for you live your life so fast
I should have turned at night and let you pass
But my hungry eyes weren't watching as I met you held on
You left my heart in pieces for you're a hit and run.

Am I broken up ole body and never be repaired
'Cause on the road of true love you left me suffering there
And the heart will be felt always for the damages all've been done
Our love is gone forever cause you're a hit and run.

Yes, by accident I love you butr you're a hit and run

"Honky Tonk Downstairs"

"Honky Tonk Downstairs"


Well, it won't be long now
Until that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstair

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs...

"Honky Tonkin'"

"Honky Tonkin'"


When you are sad and lonely and have no place to go
Call me up, sweet baby, and bring along some dough
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

When you and your baby have a fallin' out
Just call me up sweet mama and we'll go steppin' out
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

We're goin' to the city - to the city fair
If you go to the city then you will find me there
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town...

"House Of Gold"

"House Of Gold"


People steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgement Day
That gold and silver will melt away

I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doom my soul

What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not pure and true?
Sinner, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doom my soul

"How Proud I Would Have Been"

"How Proud I Would Have Been"


How proud I would have been to share your life of sin
But you saw someone new, I wouldn't do for you.
I wouldn't mind at all to let my morales fall
I'd like to try again, how proud I would have been.

Don't think that I'm above selling my soul for love
And if that's what it cost then take the price and go
Without your love I'll be a whole lot less than me
I'd like to try again, how proud I would have been.

A sinners just an angel that slipped and fell
For one like you I'd play a sinners part so well
I'd stoop to any length to gain your love it seems
I'd like to try again, how proud I would have been.

"Howlin' At The Moon"

"Howlin' At The Moon"


I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name, my heads in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old tablespoon
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin' on my hands
And a-howlin' at the moon.

Well look, I took one look at you
And it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' Rabbits, pullin' out my hair
And a-howlin' at the moon.

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state
That can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today, then I tried to tree a 'Coon
You got me chasin' Rabbits, scratchin' fleas
And a-howlin' at the moon.

I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled 'im up and I hollered whoa!, said fill 'em up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!,
He changed my tune
You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth
And a-howlin' at the moon.

I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
But honey, baby, when I fell the whole world
Must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways
If you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasin' rabbits, pickin' out rings
And a-howlin' at the moon...

"Hundred Proof Memories"

"Hundred Proof Memories"


Love on the rocks that's all he said
As he sat there beside me shaking his head
I said, Mister, you look like you're taking it rough
The next round's on me. He said, I don't touch the stuff.

'Cause these hundred proof mem'ries are stronger than wine
It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind
No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with hundred proof mem'ries, Lord, you don't think and drive.

He said, I quit drinkin' the day that she left
I come here out of habit in spite of myself
But there ain't no liquor that money can buy
That's stronger than what's bottled up inside.

'Cause these hundred proof mem'ries are stronger than wine
It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind
No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with hundred proof mem'ries, Lord, you don't think and drive.

No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with hundred proof mem'ries, Lord, you don't think and drive...

"I Ain't Got No Business Doin' Business Today"

"I Ain't Got No Business Doin' Business Today"


Well, I ain't got no business doin' business today
'Cause my little woman wants to stay home and play
And right here in her arms is where I will stay
No, I ain't got no business doin' business today.

Well, I'm a-gonna call my boss and tell him I'm ill
I'm gonna tell him I'm home a-with the fever and chill
I don't usually lie but for your lovin' I will
I need your.

No, we won't be disturbed because the phones off the hook
And when it comes to lovin' baby, you wrote the book
And I just saw that I want your look
That's all it took. (all it took.)

Well, I ain't got no business doin' business today
Well, my little woman likes to stay home and play
And right here in her arms is where I will stay
No, I ain't got no business doin' business today.

(No, he ain't got no business doin' business today.)

Well, the phones at the plant, the punchin' the clock
If you could see 'em now, oh, what a job
But they'd the same if they had what I got
Please don't stop. (don't stop)

Well, I ain't got no business doin' business today
Well, my little woman likes to stay home and play
And right here in her arms is a where I will stay
No, I ain't got no business doin' business today.

(Who woo woo.)

Well, I ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman likes to stay home and play
And right here in her arms is here I'm gonna stay
No, I ain't got no business doin' business today.

(Business, business)
Oh honey, I ain't goin' to town at all
I'm gonna stay right here at home
In your lovin' arms

"I Always Get Lucky With You"

"I Always Get Lucky With You"


I've had good luck and bad luck
And no luck, it's true
But I always get lucky with you

I've been turned on and turned down
When the bars close at two
But I always get lucky with you

I've had two strikes against me
Most all of the time
And when it's down to just a phone call
I'm minus a dime

There's been good days and bad days
But when the day is through
I always get lucky with you
Oh, I always get lucky with you

I've had two strikes against me
Most all of the time
And when it's down to just a phone call
I'm minus a dime

There's been good days and bad days
But when the day is through
I always get lucky with you
Oh, I always get lucky with you

I always get lucky with you
