"Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me"

"Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me"


Oh well, I remember back in my younger days of high school
Back then baseball was my biggest dream
But when I stood in line for my turn at bat
I found that wasn't where they wanted me at
I wound up totten the water for all the teams

Well, there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked around everywhere I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

But when my uncle Sam called me to serve my country
I stood up brave and smiled and packed my duds
But to my surprise when I got there
They gave me the boots and they cut my hair
I wound up scrubbin' the floor and a peelin' spuds

No, ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked everywhere I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

Well, I met me a pretty little girl there in Nashville
I loved her more than all of my wildest dreams
She took me for my money, my house and my boat
And didn't even leave me a goodbye note
I gave it all up, boy, did she strip me clean?

Well, there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked around everywhere where I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone, when I'm gone
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

"Ain't Your Memory Got Not Pride At All"

"Ain't Your Memory Got Not Pride At All"


I woke up with her in my arms this mornin'
Forgotten how I love her over all
As she whispered she loved me your memory appeared
Ain't your memory got no pride at all?

Tonight I lay here touchin' her sleek body
And a good familar feelin' I recall
I close my eyes to kiss her, your memory appeared
Ain't your memory got no pride at all?

If you were here we'd love but now your gone
I ask you let bygone all be bygones, yes and stay gone
You always find the wrong time to come around to call
Ain't your memory got no pride at all?

Ain't your memory got no pride at all?

"All I Have To Offer You Is Me"

"All I Have To Offer You Is Me"


Before you take another step
There's something you should know
About the years ahead and how they'll be.
You'll be living in a world
Where roses hardly ever grow
'Cause, all I have to offer you is me.

There'll be no mansion waiting on the hill
With crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me.

Sweetheart I'll give you all my love
In every way I can
Make sure that's what you want
While you're still free
The only gold I have for you
Is in this wedding band
'Cause, all I have to offer you is me.

There'll be no mansion waiting on the hill
With crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me.

All I have to offer you is me...

"All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers"

"All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers"


All the love you promised would be mine forever.
I would have bet my bottom dollar on.
Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever.
Just once I turned by back and you were gone.

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.

It amazes me not knowing any better.
Than to think I found a love that should be true.
Oh, I should be taken out and tarred and feathered.
Than to let myself be taken in by you.

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone...

"All That We've Got Left"

"All That We've Got Left"


I once held that someone special, didn't have to let go
I just stood back and watched my future pass
And for the awful shape I am in, I can only blame myself
It's no wonder that her love for me wasn't strong enough to last

Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left
And for what its worth we've been less than easy on ourself
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left

I was there when the bar room opened
I've been there at closing time
There were things I couldn't handle by myself
Then the right one picked me up and we left it all behind
She said I am all she loving me and for me there's no one else

Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left
And for what it's worth we've been less than easy on ourself
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left

"Along Came You"

"Along Came You"


Well, I used to sit at home and wonder why, why, why
All the happiness in life just passed me by
I didn't think in all the world there could ever be
One girl in a million who was meant for me.

Then along came you walkin' down the street
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.

I had just about forgotten how to smile
You could see my misery for a country mile
Used to being lonely surrendered to the blue
Then somehow outta nowhere along came you.

Then along came you walkin' down the street
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.

Then along came you walkin' down the street
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace"


Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

Was grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares.
I have already come.
Is grace that brought us safe thus far.
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been back ten thousand years.
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise.
Then when we've first begun.

Then when we've first begun...

"Another Way To Say Goodbye"

"Another Way To Say Goodbye"


I can't leave you in the mornin'
When you wake your childs little head looks so appealin'
Walking around in your bunny shoes
And my pajama tops you see that stay home feelin'.

I can't leave you in the night
'Cause you're afraid to be alone
And beg these tears to dry
I could never leave you cryin'
There must be another way to say goodbye.

Every time I try to pack I double up inside
Just like the cloths I'm foldin'
Every empty hanger I put back
Feels like a cement block my hands are holdin'.

Honey, if it's all the same to you
I'd love to stay right here at least till you walk by
Find an easier way of leavin'
There must be another way to say goodbye.

There must be another way to say goodbye, make the break
There must be a bypass round the hurting traffic jam to take
There must be another way to part
And come unglued each time we start to try
There must be another way to say goodbye.

There must be another way to say goodbye

"As Long As I Live"

"As Long As I Live"


I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

It was easy said the night we parted
That we'd forget we'd ever met
I haven't forgotten, I wonder if you have
Or if your heart is full of regret.

As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep remembering forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

Oh, I never thought that night we parted
That life alone would be oh, so bad
I know it sounds funny but I can't forget you
You're the only joy that I've ever had.

As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep remembering forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

I'll love you dear, as long as I live

"As Long As We Can"

"As Long As We Can"


I never fail to count my blessings when each day is done
But I always wait and count you last cause you're my greatest one
And I ask God to let me be with you till my life ends
Cause I wanna stay here in your arms as long as I can

We're gonna stay here we wanna stay here
We're gonna stay in each others arms as long as we can
We're gonna live with no regrets
Loving each other like the day we met
And we're gonna stay in each other's arms as long as we can

I could never ask for love no greater than you share
To me I'd find no better love if I search everywhere
You'll always be my only love just like it's always been
Cause I wanna stay here in your arms as long as I can

We're gonna stay here we wanna stay here...
We're gonna stay in each other's arms as long as we can
