"Wrong Side Of The World"

"Wrong Side Of The World"

I woke up on the wrong side of the world
Last night I went to sleep and thought the world was fine
The day had been a perfect day and you were mine
But somewhere between dusk and dawn the earth it tumbled and fell
And I woke up on the wrong side of the world
The sun has not arrived the moon is still right there
The seas refused to change the tide while you're not here
Cause somewhere between dusk and dawn the earth it tumbled and fell
I woke up on the wrong side of the world
Cause you were gone my life was changed
Cause you were gone the earth's rearranged
Tonight before I go to sleep I'll ask this prayer
Please turn the earth around so when I wake she's there
Cause somewhere between dusk and dawn the earth it tumbled and fell
I woke up on the wrong side of the world
I woke up on the wrong side of the world...

"Wrong's What I Do Best"

"Wrong's What I Do Best"

Some men look for diamonds
Some men look for gold
I'm just trying to find myself
Before I get too old
Different people have their ways
Of measuring success
Maybe it's not the right way
But wrong's what I do best

Well I walk the straight and narrow
Straight to where I don't belong
One time I even tried to love one woman
But that didn't last too long
If my ship is docking in the east
You can bet I'd be heading west
Right in the wrong direction
'Cause wrong's what I do best

When I'm down and out
And can't get up
I feel right at home
When I got the blues
And it's all bad news
That's when I'm in my comfort zone

But, If they held a loser's playoff
There'd be no contest
'Cause I've had lots of practice
And wrong's what I do best

If my ship is docking in the east
You can bet I'd be heading west
I'm right in the wrong direction
'Cause wrong's what I do best

Right in the wrong direction
'Cause wrong's what I do best...

"Ya'll Come"

"Ya'll Come"

Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.

When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and never, never leave you
Saying y'all come to see us by and by.

Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.

The kinfolks 're coming, coming by the dozen
Eatin' everything from soup to hay, hay, hay
And right after dinner they ain't looking any thinner
And here's what you'll hear them say.

Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.

Oh, old grandma's a wishing they'd come out to the kitchen
And help her do the dishes right away
But they all start leavin', even though she's a grievin'
You can still hear grandma say.

Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.

Oh, y'all come to see us now and then...

"Yearning"

"Yearning"

Yearning to be with the one I can't agree with
Yearning to hear you call my name
Like a fool I left you and now I can't forget you
Please forgive me take me back again.

I'll never be the same without you, darling
You'll always be my everything
My love for you's still burning and my poor heart is yearning
While you wear another's name.

Yearning to hold you, to let my arms enfold you
Yearning to hear you call my name
Yearning to kiss you, oh darling, How I'll miss you
Oh, how I wish you felt the same.

I never knew how much you cared about me
I thought that you were fooling me

Now I'm yearning to kiss you, oh how I'll miss you
I wish that we could make our romance restart

"Yes, I Know Why"

"Yes, I Know Why"

Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you
But I'm painting the town feelin' blue
If you've ever loved one that's untrue
Then you'll know why I want to cry, it's over you.

Well, I've tried you all over again
And you just lied all over again
Guess I'm asking for heartaches of you
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you.

Well, I've tried you all over again
And you just lied all over again
If you've ever love one that's untrue
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you.

Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you...

"Yesterday's Wine"

"Yesterday's Wine"

Miracles appear in the strangest of places
Fancy me finding you here
Last time I saw you was just out of Houston
Let me sit down and buy you a beer

Your presence is welcome with me and my friend here
For this is a hang-out of mine
I come here quite often to listen to music
And to taste yesterdays wine

Yesterdays wine
Yesterdays wine
Aging with time
Like yesterdays wine

Yesterdays wine
Yesterdays wine
We're aging with time
Like yesterdays wine

You give the appearance of one widely traveled
Lord I bet you've seen things in your time
Come sit down here with us and tell us your story
If it's true you like yesterdays wine

Yesterdays wine
Yesterdays wine
We're aging with time
Like yesterdays wine

Yesterdays wine
Yesterdays wine
We're aging with time
Like yesterdays wine

We're aging with time
Like yesterdays wine...

"You All Goodnight"

"You All Goodnight"

The other day I met a girl while strolling through the park
And pretty soon this little girl was flirting with my heart
I'm so glad that I was there to find this lovely queen
The clock was striking romance right at two-fifteen
I kissed her once and held her tight and then I kissed her twice
She snuggled in my arms and said you kissed me oh, so nice
So far was I lost in a dream because she was my kind
Was then that I decided I would change her name to mine

At four-fifteen I bought the ring and bought the licence too
We stood before the preacher then and we both said I do
The preacher said my children I pronounce you man and wife
May your troubles all be small ones for the balance of your life

We found a furnished bungalow, the answer to our dreams
And we became the owners at exactly nine-fifteen
At ten-fifteen we locked the doors and turned out all the lights
And here my story ends my friend, I bid you all goodnight
And here my story ends my friend, I bid you all goodnight

Honey, is it morning yet? It ain't, well, goodnight...

"You Always Look Your Best (Here In My Arms)"

"You Always Look Your Best (Here In My Arms)"

You look good in anything you choose to wear
Even a trace of gray would look good in your hair
And you look fine in sunshine baby or the shadows of a storm
But you always look your best here in my arms.

You look good when you sit and rock our baby
You look great the perfect picture of a lady
And you look fine with your smile so angel soft and sunshine warm
But you always look your best here in my arms.

We look good walking together
And we feel so good holding each other
I'm depending on your tender love to keep me safe and warm
Yes, you always look your best here in my arms.

I'm depending on your warm and tender love to keep me strong
And you always look your best here in my arms

"You And Me Together"

"You And Me Together"

Well, we found a life together
And it's a gonna last forever
Nothing can hurt me now 'cause you are mine.

We put away all of our sadness
We're walking every day with gladness
You and me together all the time.

Well, she wants to love me a little bit better
It's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel
He's hard giving love's true and real.

Oh, now we got a little bitty baby
We're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time.

Well, we'll build a little house in the country
And we'll go to church every Sunday
We got each other and we don't need a thing.

We start every day with a sweet kiss
And that's one thing we wouldn't miss
You and me together making life sweet.

Well she wants to love me a little bit better
It's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel
He's hard giving love's true and real.

Oh, now we got a little bitty baby
We're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time.

You and me together all the time...

"You Are The One"

"You Are The One"

You are the one, you're the one in my heart
You're my darling, my life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart and I know
That I love you and I always will.

I've had some sweethearts and dear so have you
And I've done somethings I know I shouldn't do
We tasted life both the bitter and the sweet
It helps us to know love when we get to meet.

You are the one, you're the one in my heart
You're my darling, my life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart and I know
That I love you and I always will.

We pay for our future with the tears from the past
It helps us know when we've found love at last
I didn't know what joy was till I've been through
I didn't know what love was till I met you.

You are the one, you're the one in my heart
You're my darling, my life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart
And I know that I love you and I always will
