"Hello Darlin'"

"Hello Darlin'"



Hello darlin' nice to see you it's been a long time
You're just as handsome as you used to be
How's your new love are you happy hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me
What's that darlin' how'm I doing I'm doing all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is I love you and miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong
Look up darlin' let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you darlin' may God bless you and may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find
Goodbye darlin' gotta go now gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin' I'll be waiting for you

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"



Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone help me make it through the night
Mhm mhm mhm mhm...

"Here I Am Again"

"Here I Am Again"



I told you that I'd never come around again but here I am again here I am again
I said I'd never let you get me down again here I am again here I am
Here I am here we are the story's gettin' old
I know I can't go on to you but worse than bad I can't let go

I said words I swore I'd never speak but again here I am again here I am again
I thought I could stay strong but I got weak again and here I am again here I am
Here I am here we are...
And oh the nights're cold and I could use a friend so here I am again here I am again

"Hey Loretta"

"Hey Loretta"



Well goodbye tubs and clothes lines goodbye pots and pans
I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus as further as I can
I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize I'm gone I'm a gonna hear you roar
And you'll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home

I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak
And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week
So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow
This a woman's liberation honey is a gonna start right now
And you'll say hey Loretta...

I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair
And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there
I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls
Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all
And you'll say hey Loretta...

"High On A Mountain Top"

"High On A Mountain Top"


[Chorus:]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

Where the rest of the world's
Like a little bitty spot
I ain't comin down no never I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

Where I come from the mountain flowers grow wild
The blue grass sways like it's goin out of style
God fearin' people simple and real
'Cause up on the ridge folks that's the deal
Well my daddy worked down in the dark coal mine
Shovelin' that coal one shovel at a time
Never made a lot money didn't have much
But we're high on life and rich in love

[Chorus]

Well down in the holler lived my uncle Joe
He'd pull out his fiddle and rosin his bow
We'd all sing and dance
And we ain't gonna stop
When the moon shine flows behind every rock

[Chorus]

Well we lay on our backs and we count the stars
'cause up here folks heaven's not that far

[Chorus]

High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

"His Lovin' Told Me He Was Gone"

"His Lovin' Told Me He Was Gone"



I woke up just in time to hear that front door closing
I reached across to touch his face I was alone
Lately his eyes have had that look of leavin
But his lovin already told me he was gone

I never thought that this ole bed could feel so empty all alone
After all it's the one he loved me on
I noticed that his touch had lost some of it's feelin mm
But his lovin already told me he was gone

I never though that this ole bed could feel so empty all alone
After all it's the one he loved me on
I noticed that his touch had lost some of it's feelin mm
Ah But his lovin already told me he was gone

Yea his lovin already told me he was gone

"Hold Her"

"Hold Her"


There's two suitcases hid back in the closet
Packed for much more than a few days stay
And in her purse there's several thousand dollars
Years of saving for one rainy day

It scares her half to death to think of leaving
She's never been out on her own before
Too many nights she's cried while he was sleepin'
Oh but she's not sure he loves her any more

[Chorus:]
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side

To him she's always been a special angel
And so much more than he thought he deserved
Oh how was she to know all he's been feeling
When he could never put it into words

He was so afraid one day she'd walk out on him
He knows he's just a plain and simple man(Yes he is)
He could easily tear down that wall between them
Everything he needs to keep her's in his hands

[Chorus:]
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side

Maybe he'll wake up in time
To hold me

"Holding On To Nothin'"

"Holding On To Nothin'"



We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times that we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go on bluffin'
With really nothing left to hold on to
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried
Oh why do we keep holding on...
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

"Home"

"Home"


I've been travelin' down the country ever since I can remember
And the people that I meet just suit me fine
But anywhere you see me going chances are that I've done been there
So when I need a little peace of mind
I go home home where the mockingbirds are singin' a pretty melody
Home home where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me
[ fiddle ]
Picture the morning sun a white rail fence and watch the meadow glisten
There's a newborn baby calf down in the barn
Have you morning cup of coffee in the country air oh listen
It's a hundred million miles away from harm
I go home...
Where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me

"Home You're Tearin' Down"

"Home You're Tearin' Down"


I don't know your name I wouldn't know your face
But you're right with the one I love out there someplace
You have an invitation be free to come around
Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
Once some happy faces would have met you at the door
But since their daddy's gone so much they don't smile anymore
There's shattered parts of broken hearts just scattered all around
Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
[ steel ]
I'll dry all my tears and have the coffee hot
Cause I can't sleep a wink no more time's all I've got
You see the price I'm payin' for happiness you've found
Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
You've told how much you loved him you can surely tell me too
I'd like to know just what you've done to make him turn to you
I swallow pride and hear you sigh if you'll just come around
Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
