"Something To Brag About"
(with George Jones)



[George]
I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator

I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

[Tammy]
I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street

I wear a swingin' mini dress
That I made for myself
From mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets

I've got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoes

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

When you're with the fellas, I know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes

[George]
Tell 'em
You tell your girlfriends 'bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that
Money can't buy

[Both]
So let's get married
In the not-to-distant future
We'll rent a little flat
On 29th street

You know we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on corn bread,
Butter beans and lunch meat

We won't have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true

[George]
Love has, somethin' to brag about
[Tammy]
Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about
[Both]
Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you...

"Southern California"

"Southern California"



You always said someday you'd go to live
In Southern California
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee
You always talked about the better days
In Southern California
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me

It's not that I don't love you but I hear the call
From Southern California
There's something I can't find in Tennessee
Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California
Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free

Tomorrow when you leave you'll take my heart
To Southern California
But just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

Well, it's been five years an' I guess I've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
It's almost midnight an' time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee?

Well, here I sit by the window of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the Smokies and on in everything I can see
Oh, I guess by now she's found what she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old faded photograph of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me?

But the weather's good
In Southern California

"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
Doin' 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, oh 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 show 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.

"Starting Over"

"Starting Over"



Wondering where the hours go
Catching up on TV shows
It's not easy, heaven knows
When you're starting over

Knowing that the phone won't ring
Back to being lonely me
Funny how I seem to be
Always starting over

Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been starting over

So just win, the hurt is through
I'll see a face across a room
And wonder if it's still too soon
To be starting over

But like a fool I'll give my heart
Then the same old thing will start
I'll watch it slowly fall apart
Then I'll be starting over

Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been, always starting over

"Still Around"

"Still Around"



To make you stay I'll never try and when you go I will not cry
But for a time I might be found somewhere live still around
But may you find a love that's true someone to love and cherish you
And if you love your whole life through and may you love as I love you
But if you'll ever feel alone with no true love to call your own
And if you'll need a place to hide these arms of mine are open wide
And if a troubled love brings you pain my love is all like summer rain
Always remember I'll be found still around

To make you stay I'll never try and when you go I will not cry

"Sweet Dreams"

"Sweet Dreams"



Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You you don't love me it's plain I should know I'll never wear your name
I I should hate you the whole night through instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I stop loving you and find somebody new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you instead of having sweet dreams about you

"Take Me"

"Take Me"



Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in california
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in california
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me

"Take Me Home And Love Me"

"Take Me Home And Love Me"



Take me home again tonight and love me
Cause there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
All my life I've never been this much in love with any man
And God knows I've been needin' here so long
The places where we always go they're fine with me but don't you know
That I'd rather be with you at home
So darling take me home again tonight and love me
Cause there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
You're everything I ever want to live for can't you see
Let's go home again tonight so you can love me
Take me home again tonight...

"Take Me To Your World"

"Take Me To Your World"



If you can find it in your heart
To just forgive
I'll come back and live the way
You wanted me to live

All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me
And take me to your world

Take me to your world
Away from bar rooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink
Or hear another dirty joke

All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me
And take me to your world

Take me to your world
Make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say, "I love you"
And love is not a dirty word

All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me
And take me to your world

Please come and get me
And take me to your world

"Talkin' To Myself Again"



Good mornin darlin
Can I bring you some coffee in bed
Did you sleep well
We got a full day ahead
I love you too dear

Talkin to myself again
Ever since he left that's how it's been
Goin crazy playin just pretend
That everything is still ok
Talkin to myself again
Without his lovin I am at loose ends
If I'm not careful they will have to send somebody to lock me away

Good night honey

Ain't we lucky to have each other this way
I'm so happy too dear
So happy too

Talkin to myself again
Ever since he left that's how it's been
Goin crazy playin just pretend
That everything is still ok
Talkin to myself again
Without his lovin I am at loose ends
If I'm not careful they will have to send someone to lock me away
Talkin to myself again
