"I'm Satisfied With You"

"I'm Satisfied With You"

You don't dress up in satin, you don't wear diamond rings, but I'm satisfied with you.
You look just like an angel but you haven't got wings, but I'm satisfied with you.

[Chorus:]
I'd rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new.
Maybe I could do better if I reach for the star, but I'm satisfied with you.

You're not made of candy but you're sweet as you can be, so I'm satisfied with you.
I just can't see no reason why you bother with me, but I'm satisfied with you.

I often wonder if it's all a mistake, it's hard to believe that it's true,
But if I'm only dreaming, I sure don't want to wake
'Cause I'm satisfied with you.

[Chorus]

But I'm satisfied with you.

"I've Come To Expect It From You"

"I've Come To Expect It From You"

So upset, a nervous wreck, can't believe you said goodbye.
Sit and smoke, cry and joke about these tears in my eyes.
How could you do what you've gone and done to me?
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me,
But that's what I get, I've come to expect it from you.

A million times, a million lines, and I bought 'em, every one.
You don't care, you rip and tear every dream I've counted on.
I guess that I should thank my unlucky stars
That I'm alive and you're the way you are,
But that's what I get, I've come to expect it from you.

How could you do what you've gone and done to me?
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me,
But that's what I get, I've come to expect it from you.

I could raise hell, but what the hell
It wouldn't do a bit of good.
Pack and leave, my heart agrees; it seems to think that I should.
There won't be no more next time doin' me wrong.
You'll come back this time to find out that I'm gone,
But that's what you get, you should expect that from me.

That's what I get, I've come to expect it from you.

"I've Convinced Everybody But Me"

"I've Convinced Everybody But Me"

The guys down at the job all want to know
How things are goin' since I let you go
I laugh and say my heart ain't missed a beat
I've convinced everybody but me

[Chorus:]
I'm all right, I'm okay, that's what I always say
When they ask me how I'm doing without you
I say I'm glad I'm free and if they all believe
I've convinced everybody but me

I'm the life of the party every night
Nobody knows I'm dyin' deep inside
I don't hurt at all as far as they can see
I've convinced everybody but me

[Chorus]

I smile in every mirror
Like I'm such a happy man
But my heart knows what a liar I am

[Chorus]

Yes, I've convinced everybody but me

"I've Got A Funny Feeling"

"I've Got A Funny Feeling"

Well my baby's wearin' a permanent smile
A satisfied look I ain't seen for awhile
I ain't had no rings, fulfilled any dreams
But somethin's come over my baby it seems

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

If I came home early, Lord what would I find?
Maybe I'd rather just walk around blind
I know baby loves me, Lord I understand
I love how emotions can get out of hand

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

Wherever he is, well I'm callin' his bluff
I'm gonna start wearin' that good smellin' stuff
And I'll be the lover that I used to be
Whatever she's missin', she'll get it from me

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my gal

"I've Seen That Look On Me (A Thousand Times)"

"I've Seen That Look On Me (A Thousand Times)"

It's four AM and you're just getting in.
Your first night out- I won't ask where you've been.
You're so ashamed and your eyes can't meet mine.
I've seen that look on me a thousand times.

[Chorus:]
What makes us do the things we do heaven only knows.
We think we've got a secret, but it always shows.
I taught you how to cheat, you're doing fine.
I've seen that look on me a thousand times.

But I still love you and so I pretend
And hope I never see that look again.
But if I do I know the fault is mine.
I've seen that look on me a thousand times.

[Chorus]

I've seen that look on me a thousand times.

"If Heartaches Were Horses"

"If Heartaches Were Horses"

Been in the saddle since the sun came up
Rounding up strays in, this ol; West Texas dust
She's been packing her things since I put coffee on
By sundown she'll be gone

Damn this ol' girth, worn right in two
But a spare length of leather and I'll make it do
Just when I think I've got life by the reins
Home ain't sweet home on the range

If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle

And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life
She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight

If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle

"If I Know Me"

"If I Know Me"

We both said some things I know we never meant,
And when I slammed the door tonight you wondered where I went.
If I know you, you're probably wonderin' what to do.
You're thinkin' that I'm gone for good, if I know you.

[Chorus:]
But if I know me, I'll turn this car around.
I won't get halfway through town, and I'll be sorry.
I'll stop and call, and you'll say you're sorry too,
And I'll come runnin' back to you, if I know me.

Sometimes I lose my head, say things to break your heart,
Forgettin' if I lost your love, it would tear my world apart.
If I know you, you didn't mean one single thing you said.
Truth be known, you're dyin', cryin', lyin' there in bed.

[Chorus]

If I know me, and I know me.

"If It's Gonna Rain"

"If It's Gonna Rain"

If it's gonna rain I hope it pours
Thunder and lightning
Like never before
'cause that's how I feel
Here in my heart
If it's gonna rain
Let the stom start

If you're gonna leave go on and go
Don't even look back
When you hit the road
If that's how you feel
About you and me
Now's a good time
So go on and leave

I've never been one for doing
Something half the way
I've loved you with all my heart
But it's all been in vain

It's gonna hurt
Cut to the bone
Break my heart in two
When you move on
I'm gonna cry a river of tears
It's gonna rain and rain and rain
'Round here for years

I'm gonna cry a river of tears
It's gonna rain
Let the storm start
If it's gonna rain I hope it pours

"If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk"

"If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk"

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

You could smoke that cigarette,
An' be politically incorrect.
Show off that red 'round your neck...
Not hear a single soul object.
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
Who is wrong and who is right.
No need for big expensive trials...
Brother, we'd just step outside.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

Wouldn't have to pay no tax...
Just set a tip jar in the back.
If we ran low, we'd pass the hat...
I bet we'd all be in the black,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.

[Instrumental Break]

And if you're lookin' love...
Someone to heal that broken heart.
Hey, buddy, you'd be in half.
You wouldn't have to go that far.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
If you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

Life would be a three-chord song,
And the king would be George Jones,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.

[Instrumental Fade]

"If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')"

"If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')"

If you got a Cadillac, boy, and a forty - room shack, boy,
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey,
But if you're gettin' no huggin', no smoochin' or a - muggin'.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If you're ridin' on a gravy train instead of walkin down lover's lane,
You can't make hay, boy, 'cause you're goin' the wrong way boy.
You gotta get a little honey, it's better than money.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If they call you a big man 'cause you gotta lotta bottom land.
If you're kin to the president and you help run the government,
But if you're gettin' no attention, you're better off on a pension.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If you got a string of long cars and you're smokin' them four - bit cigars.
You ain't no well to do unless you get a little koochi - koo.
It takes a little bit of smackin' - all your life's a - lackin'.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.
