"Sometimes You Just Can't Win"

"Sometimes You Just Can't Win"


Just when the sun shines the brightest and the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes sometimes you just can't win

My love never meant much to you dear and to you I was always a friend
Oh why did I fall you'd have no heart at all sometimes you just can't win
[ ac.guitar ]
I can't live like this any longer not knowing just where I stand
I know I shouldn't care but sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win
And then when the sun shines the brightest...
Yeah sometimes you just can't win

"Somewhere Between"

"Somewhere Between"



I love you so much I can't let you go
And sometimes I believe you love me
But somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a door without any key.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a window that I can't see through
There's a wall so high it reaches the sky
Somewhere between me and you.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a love I can't understand
It's there for a while then it fades like a smile
And I'm left in the middle again.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a window that I can't see through
There's a wall so high it reaches the sky
Somewhere between me and you...

"Somewhere Someone's Falling In Love"

"Somewhere Someone's Falling In Love"



Well, I got time on my hands and I got you on my mind
And the moon and the stars up above
There's a warm summer breeze
Blowing down through the trees
And somewhere someone's falling in love
Well, if this world where we live is the only one we have
Then there's only one thing I'm thinking of
Let's go for that ride - keep our eyes open wide
Cause somewhere someone's falling in love.

You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.

So don't get down on yourself.
No and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love

You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.

So don't get down on yourself.
No, and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love
Yeah, for as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling.

Somewhere someone's falling.
Somewhere someone's falling in love.

"Spiders And Snakes"

"Spiders And Snakes"



I remember when Loretta Lynn said you want to walk me home again
And I said mhm yes I do
And she said well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone if you would I would too
Ha ha and so we took a stroll and wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do I don't care
Mhm I got silly and I found me a frog in the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you
I don't like spiders and snakes and that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you

Well I think of that girl from time to time and I phone up when I got me dime
And I say hello baby ain't you cool
Ha ha she said do you remember when and you like to get together again
If you do hey I see I'm just cool
Ha ha well I am shy and so for awhile most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha
Yeah I don't like spiders and snakes...

"Spring Fever"

"Spring Fever"



Last night he took me in his arms,
And held me tenderly.
He said: "I don't know what's got into you,
"But I'm lovin' what I see."
I hid my shame and tried to say,
The words I longed dreamed of.
But instead of saying: "Set me free,"
I whispered: "I'm in love."

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too.
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
"That makes the warm of glowing love,"
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new.

I tried to make you understand,
The reasons I can't go.
You love is fresh and new, but his love's true,
It's had time to grow.
And even though he may no longer,
Keep me satisfied.
Don't you know he's still got Spring and Fall,
And Summer on his side.

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too.
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
"That makes the warm of glowing love,"
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new.

"Stand By Your Man"

"Stand By Your Man"



Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him all be proud of him cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man and tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man oh yeah

"Standing Room Only"

"Standing Room Only"



Standing room only not even room to kneel and pray
Standing room only on the Judgement Day
Last night I have an awful dream that the end of time had come
The trumpet had been sounded and life on earth has done
An angel stood one foot on land the other foot on sea
And as I tried to kneel and pray a voice said unto me
There's standing room only it's too late now to pray
There's standing room only this is the Judgement Day
People filled each church and churchyard just as far as I could see
I heard the pityful cry for mercy and then I realized it was me
I saw the Saviour did appear as he split the eastern sky
I saw tears of joy on a Christian's face and I heard the sinners cry
And as I tried to touch his hand with one last people plea
I cried again have mercy have mercy Lord on me
I saw a cheer come to his eye as he turned my soul away
I didn't know him yesterday and he knew me not today
The earth was burning all around the world wound up in smoke
And as the flames came off me thank God I awoke
Then I got out of bed and got down on my knees and you should've heard me pray
For in my dream I witnessed God's great Judgement Day
Standing room only on God's great Judgement Day

"Store Up Love"

"Store Up Love"



If we could only store up love when we got it
And use it when we need it like now
Everything would be alright
But love is one thing the whole world showed on
So have to get along without love somehow.

Yesterday you loved me anyone could see
Now all that's left with all love we had is just a memory
If we could only store up love when we got it
And use it when we need it like now.

If you've got someone that loves you today
You better hold on tight
Or you might find tomorrow love slipped away
If we could only store up love when we got it
And use it when we need it like now.
Yeah, we have to get along without love somehow...

"Story Of My Life"

"Story Of My Life"



Well here's the story of my life
Listen and I'll tell it twice

Well I was born in hold Kentucky
In them hills where folks are lucky
And it's paradise to me

Well I got a feller right over the hill
If he asks me to marry well I know I will
He asked me to marry got kids of four
And I'm telling you
I don't want no more

Doo got me a guitar
I wrote me a song
Moved to Nashville, it wasn't long
'Till I was on the Grand Ole Opry

We bought us a mansion on a hill
Livin big like we were big deals
Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind
I was pregnant again
Oh gee, oh Lord, I swear
The babies are comin' in pars

Well some big shot form Hollywood
Thought a movie about my life would be good
It was a big hit made a big splash
What I wanna know is what happened to the cash

No me and Doo, married forty-eight years
Six kids later a lot of laughter and tears
I have to say that I've been blessed
Not bad for this ol' Kentucky girl I guess
Well, here's the story of y life
Listen and I'll tell it twice

"Success"

"Success"


We used to go out walkin' hand in hand you told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone success has made a failure of our home
[ fiddle - steel ]
If we could share an evening now and then perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do it's funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me...
