Darkest Day

Darkest Day

Darlin' when you told me you were leavin' I thought that you were only foolin' me
But here I am to face old blue tomorrow with a broken heart that's filled with misery
It seems that my world is through an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why I don't get all sunshine bright today's the darkest day of my life
(oh that's Grady Martin)
[ guitar ]
Oh how I wish that old scene is through it's always darkest just before dawn
Then I'll know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine
I just can't take this darkness on and on
It seems that my world is...

Daydreams About Night Things

Daydreams About Night Things

I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
While my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my dreams come true

All day long while I'm working in town time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinking about you I'm checking the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello love and there's a smile across my face
Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love where my thoughts have been all day
I'm having daydreams...
[ steel ]
I'm having daydreams...

Dear Uncle Sam

Dear Uncle Sam

Dear Uncle Sam I know you're a busy man
And tonight I write to you through tears with a trembling hand
My darling answered when he got that call from you
You said you really need him but you don't need him like I do
Don't misunderstand I know he's fighting for our land
I really love my country but I also love my man
He proudly wears the colors of the old red white and blue
While I wear a heartache since he left me for you
[ trumpet ]
Dear Uncle Sam I just got your telegram
And I can't believe that this is me shaking like I am
For it said I'm sorry to inform you

Deep As Your Pocket

Deep As Your Pocket

You're tellin' me she loves you what a laugh
The funny thing is baby you don't know the half
If you've got any money honey you better put it in the safe and lock it
Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket
She's too big girl in a fifty dollar dress
She wouldn't think about wearin' anything that costs much less
I can see she rows a boat but little ol' me's gonna rock it
Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket
Yeah her love for you's just deep as your pocket
She's got you blown up like a baloon but I'm a gonna pop it
She can't love you like I do but don't let me to drop it
Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket
[ dobro - steel ]
Yeah her love for you's...
Yeah her love for you's just deep as your pocket

Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes upon
But a man of low degree stood by her side promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn what's that flower...
Delta Dawn

Devil Gets His Dues

Devil Gets His Dues

Well you think you're the hardest thing a goin'
The way things come to you you think you're in
But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin'
You may not lose the big boy you won't win
Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet
[ guitar ]
When it comes to love you wear the devil's menu
And you bribe a lot that you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one who knows the trick or two
Some day I might rub your face in the dirt
Well your little play house is sittin' on sticks of dynamite
And I get mad tonight and light the fuze
If you come in and find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues
Cause the devil gets his dues...

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
[ steel - guitar ]
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried dear all alone
And you come in a kissin' on me it happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

Don't Leave Me Where You Found Me

Don't Leave Me Where You Found Me

The lights're low I am too the crowd is high so are you
It's gettin' close to closin' time and the breakup oh it breakup my mind
You found me in this dimlit bar I'm with you and we're too far
Now you say my kind of girl just can't fit in your kind of world
Please don't leave me where you found me
Oh don't leave me where you found me
Keep your love wrapped warm around me
Don't leave me where you found me

I like to cook I like to sew I'd love to watch while babies grow
I'd work my fingers to the bone if you'll make me the maker of your home
Please forget the life I've led let me share more than your bed
I'll make a vow to God above you'll always be the keeper of my love
Please don't leave me...
Please don't leave me where you found me

Don't Mess Up A Good Thing

(Good thing good thing good thing good thing)

Well you been cheatin' on me big day you know I know it's true
But there ain't nobody in the whole wide world could love you like I do
Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool) don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin' around now baby you gonna mess up a good thing

Oh but when I get my paycheck mama I bring it on home to you
Don't be no fool...

(Good thing good thing good thing good thing)

And there'd gonna be but a little while baby before you cut me down
Don't be no fool...

Now don't you come sneakin' across town baby to catch me a doin' you wrong
Cause you know everybody's jealous baby we got a thing goin' on
Don't you be no fool...
(Good thing good thing good thing good thing)

Don't Open That Door

Don't Open That Door

Oh, I hear familiar sounds down the sidewalk
Gettin' closer with every step he takes
Lord, I'm so afraid that if I look out the window
I'll be tempted to repeat an old mistake.

[Chorus:]
Don't open that door
To an old memory,
When he said goodbye
I locked it up tight
And threw out the key.
I've stood here before
Lord I can't stand no more
Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't open that door.

The stronger me has found the will to fight it
But now he's gone and the weaker side's in tears
Lord, it took so long to put the hurt behind me
If I don't look back the past can't find me here.

Don't open that door
To an old memory,
When he said goodbye
I locked it up tight
And threw out the key.
I've stood here before
Lord I can't stand no more
Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't open that door.

Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't you open that door...
