"Tattletale Eyes"

"Tattletale Eyes"


Here we are staring at each other
With that cravin' look in our eyes
It happens every time we get together
Did we ever really say goodbye?

Let our eyes keep looking at each other
They're talking over places that we've been
We might as well admit that it's not over
And everybody knows we're more than friends.

Tattletale eyes, told on our minds
Oh it's somethin', how they read between the lines
Tattletale eyes, told on our minds
No, you can't keep a thing from tattletale eyes.

Tattletale eyes, told on our minds
Oh it's somethin', how they read between the lines
Tattletale eyes, told on our minds
No, you can't keep a thing from tattletale eyes.

No, you can't keep a thing from tattletale eyes...

"Tear Me Out Of The Picture"

"Tear Me Out Of The Picture"


There's an old eight by ten
We were younger then
It was taken back when
You loved me

It's just a photograph
But I'm a part of your past
And you won't see the day
You're rid of me

You can tear me out of the picture
Try to put me out of your mind
You can tear me out of the picture
But I'll be there when you close your eyes

Oh it might fade in time
And you might change your mind
But once you've been mine
It's forever

So wherever you are
And no matter how far
In my heart of hearts
We're together

You can tear me out of the picture
Try to put me out of your mind
You can tear me out of the picture
But I'll be there when you close your eyes

How can you forget how you loved me
Or the part you played in my life
You can tear me out of the picture
But I'll be there when you close your eyes
Oh I'll be there when you close your eyes

"Tender Years"

"Tender Years"


You keep saying you love him
I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter
How much I love you

But in time you'll understand, dear
When you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years (tender years)

In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that love light grow dim

You can just see the happiness
You can't see the tears
Yes it's true, you've been living
In your tender years (tender years)

So if I can't be your first love
I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future
To help you forget the past

And you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
'Cause I'll wait 'til you're thru living
In your tender years (tender years)

Yes, you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait 'til you're thru living
In your tender years... (tender years)...

"Tennessee Whiskey"
(originally by David Allan Coe)

"Tennessee Whiskey"
(originally by David Allan Coe)



I used to spend my nights out in a bar room
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reaching
For the bottle
And you brought me back from
Being too far gone

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay stoned on your love all the time

I looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
But when you poured out your heart
I didn't waste it
'Cause there nothing like your love
To get me high

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
I stay stoned on your love all the time

"That Heart Belongs To Me"

"That Heart Belongs To Me"


There are so many flirty guys with flirty, flirty ways
And I'm so afraid that they will try to steal you someday
But don't you let 'em darlin' 'cause you belong to me.
Oh, please don't ever let them think your heart is fancy free
Don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me.

They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love so why not make the change
Oh, don't do it darlin', that love belongs to me
Oh, please don't ever let them blind you I love you don't you see
Oh, don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me.

They'll offer you a mansion ask you if to be their queen
So they'll try to give you riches make your life a happy dream
But don't let 'em darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, it's true they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
Oh, but don't let 'em darlin' that heart belongs to me...

"That Singing Friend Of Mine"

"That Singing Friend Of Mine"


He could take and sing a heart songs
And twist every heartache out
And the way he walked out on the stage
Made folks scream and shout
And he had a way with the women
And could put away the wine
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

I can hear him singing now
He could sure sing a good memory
When he'd sing about the grass of home
I'd always cry
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

He loved fast cars and night life
He seemed to thrive on danger
He had to fight most all his life
So he was quick to anger
But when he'd sing a country song
He face would light with a smile
And I sure miss that singing friend of mine

From a show in Kansas City
I guess he was Nashville bound
The radio playing softly
The Bottle Let Me Down
And somehow he missed that big curve
And a giant looked down in time
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

I can hear him singing now...

"That's All It Took"

"That's All It Took"


That's all it took the mention of your name
And all my love for you burst into flame
I've tried so hard to let you go by look
How I still tremble at your name that's all it took
That's all it took to make me know that I still care
It seems my heart just can't give up the dreams we used to share
I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book
And when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
That's all it took to make me yearn to your embrace
I guess I might as well admit no one can take your place
I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took

"That's Good, That's Bad"

"That's Good, That's Bad"


Yes, I'd still love you (that's good)
But I've got doubts about us (that's bad)
Still I don't know if it's in me to leave you (ah honey that's good)
It would be the worst break my heart ever had

We still have something (and it's good)
Though I feel we'd slipping (ah that's bad)
But I'll try like to devil to save it (ah that's good)
I'd sure miss that ol' feeling we had

We thought of this love to last
We're falling apart and that's sad
We've got to get it back together we're losing our love
That's good that's bad

We could go to the bedroom (that's good)
It's been too long since we've been there (honey that's bad)
We might break down this wall that's between us
And bring back the good love we had

We thought of this love to last

"That's The Way I Feel"

"That's The Way I Feel"


If you ever feel unwanted
Kicked around so much you're taunted
Hearts cry's out with so much pain
Well, that's the way I feel.

Love someone and love her dearly
Hope these words she didn't hear me
Left me here heartsick and lonely
That's the way I feel.

A cry would do no good
I used to think it would
But the more I thought
The more I believe is what I'll do.

Let your feeling have it's day
Maybe it will go away
Maybe I will find another
That's the way I feel.

Can't let heartbreak over come me
Just because that's the way she done me.
I'll forget she ever loved her
That's the way I feel

If you ever get the notion
That you're drowning in an ocean
Of the tears that you are crying
That's the way I feel.

Crying just because your lonely
Crying cause your one and only
'Cause she loves somebody better
That's the way I feel.

A cry would do no good
I used to think it would
But the more I thought
The more I believe is what I'll do.

Let this feeling have it's day
Maybe it will go away
Maybe I will find another
That's the way I feel.

Can't let heartbreak over come me
Just because that's the way she done me.
I'll forget she ever loved her
That's the way I feel
