1.California Angel

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villaneuva

California Angel, well I dream of you each night
Well I'm back here in Texas, but you're still on my mind
We were in the Golden State, when we held each other tight
California Angel, well I dream of you each night

Well, since we met I can't forget the sweet taste of your lips
Wel,l every time I think of you my heart just goes a-flip
The wine they make up north there, never make me feel this way
I only hope to hold you in my arms again someday

California Angel, well I dream of you each night
Well I'm back here in Texas, but you're still on my mind
We were in the Golden State, when we held each other tight
California Angel, well I dream of you each night

Oh well you shook me like an earthquake, when I looked into your
eyes
I kissed again on a thousand times, then said our goodbyes
The words I whispered in your ears on the night we met were true
The memory of our sweet love just breaks my heart in two

California Angel, well I dream of you each night
Well I'm back here in Texas, but you're still on my mind
We were in the Golden State, when we held each other tight
California Angel, well I dream of you each night
California Angel, well I dream of you each night


2.Can't Stop A Train

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villaneuva

Another mile, another memory
Of a love I'm trying to forget
There's no cure, for my misery
Or I haven't found it yet

Can't stop a train, can't stop a heart
I'm feeling pain when it's falling apart
Can't keep the one you love from changing
When it's rolling, can't stop a train

Our love is a raging fire that consumes my heart and soul
It ran hot right down to the wire when it burns out of control
Where is our love, was it just a sweet dream?
So good while it lasted, now it's gone, moving on
Can't stop a train

Can't stop a train, can't stop a heart
I'm feeling pain when it's falling apart
Can't keep the one you love from changing
When it's rolling, can't stop a train

When it's gone, moving on, can't stop a train, can't stop a
train


3.I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love (Today)

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Or if I did I know I wouldn't stay
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then, oh, I can hear my poor heart say
That I don't believe I'll fall in love today

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in the way
They come between us like they always do
Somehow she'd never measure up to you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then, oh, I can hear my poor heart say
That I don't believe I'll fall in love today


4.Dull Edge of the Blade

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villaneuva

It was a time, we had everything, it seems
I'm missing you and wishin', I hadn't treated you so mean

I'm tossing and I'm turning in the bed that I made
And loneliness is cutting me with a dull edge of the blade
With the dull edge of the blade

I'm still breathing, I still walk and eat some, too
Honey I'm not bleeding but my heart is black and blue
Minutes pass by like hours and last night, eternity
I'm hoping that someday, you'll find your way back to me


5.Tears In Your Eyes

Lyricist:V Gerard, Brian Hofeldt

Tears in your eyes, tears in your eyes
I found out the truth about you, now there you lie
Tears in your eyes, I made you cry
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those
Tears in your eyes

I told you not to ever do me wrong
Apparently it didn't take you long
Like sand through my fingers, I try to hold my anger
But honey I guess I just ain't that strong

Tears in your eyes, tears in your eyes
I found out the truth about you, now there you lie
Tears in your eyes, I made you cry
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those
Tears in your eyes

How dare you cry and try to play the victim
Your reputations run all over town
Baby can't you see, this time you won't fool me
'Cause honey this time I won't be your clown

Tears in your eyes, tears in your eyes
I found out the truth about you, now there you lie
Tears in your eyes, I made you cry
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those
Tears in your eyes

Tears in your eyes, tears in your eyes
I found out the truth about you, now there you lie
Tears in your eyes, I made you cry
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those
Tears in your eyes


6.Pawnshop Wedding Rings

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva, M Warden

Pawnshop wedding rings, so many shattered dreams
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
But you can count on me, to be yours faithfully
And stand beside you when push comes to shove
And these pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love

I couldn't give you a ring that's new
But I can give you a ring of truth
And a love that won't grow old
Shining like that band of gold

Put your hand in mine
And everything will work out fine
Together I know, we can rise above
And these pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love

I imagine on our wedding day
When we stand in front of the preacher and say
'We'll be together 'til death do us part
And give those rings a brand new start

Pawnshop wedding rings
So many shattered dreams
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
These pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love

They're gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love


7.It's Too Late

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva, D Watson

We had our chance to make those vows
Fell in love then out somehow, at least you did
I kept the flame burning bright
But to save my foolish pride I kept it hid

It's too late, I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord, it's too late, listen to the choir singing
And the tears are wellin' up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger, it's too late

Hold his hand and say â½I do❠and he'll say
The same to you and you won't hesitate
So there you are, here I am
A fool alone wondering why did I wait

It's too late, I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord, it's too late, listen to the choir singing
And the tears are wellin' up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger, it's too late

Well if I knew then, what I know now
I'd not have been so doggone proud

Well, it's too late, I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord, it's too late, listen to the choir singing
And the tears are wellin' up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger

Lord it's too late, I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord, it's too late, listen to the choir singing
And the tears are wellin' up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger
My love for you still lingers, it's too late
When the ring goes on your finger, it's too late


8.You Don't Have To Go

Lyricist:D Dela Rosa, Tony Villaneuva

It wouldn't be right for you to leave me
Our love has traveled such a long way
I'd almost understand if it was raining
But darling, it's such a sunny day

You don't have to go, I'm begging you to stay
My love for you grows stronger every day
See it in my eyes, feel it in my heart
It's rainbow in the sky, let's make a brand new start

Your bags are packed, you ain't going nowhere
I can't let you go without a kiss
Before you close the door, I hope you change your mind
Without you my darling my life's an awful mess

You don't have to go, I'm begging you to stay
My love for you grows stronger every day
See it in my eyes, feel it in my heart
The rainbow in the sky, let's make a brand new start

Traeme tu calor, te ruego otra vez
No me dejes solo, me muere de querer
Mirame amor, mira mi razon
Sin ti me quedo triste, se me quebra el corazon

Sin ti me quedo triste, se me quebra el corazon
Sin ti me quedo triste, se me quebra el corazon


9.Mohair Sam

Lyricist:Dallas Frazier

Who is the hipster
Who's happenin' all over our town?
Tearin' up the chicks with the message
That he lays down

Who is the coolest guy
That is what am?
Fast talkin', slow walkin'
Good lookin' Mohair Sam

Well, chicks are makin' reservations for his lovin' so fine
(So fine, so fine)
Screamin' and faintin' he's got 'em all waitin' in line
(So fine, so fine)

Who is the coolest guy
That is what am?
Fast talkin', slow walkin'
Good lookin' Mohair Sam

Well, chicks are makin' reservations for his lovin' so fine
(So fine, so fine)
Screamin' and faintin' he's got 'em all waitin' in line
(So fine, so fine)

Who is the coolest guy
That is what am?
Fast talkin', slow walkin'
Good lookin' Mohair Sam

Fast talkin', slow walkin'
Good lookin' Mohair Sam


10.Just One More Time

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villaneuva

Just one more time, I'll let you have your way with me
One more time, sweet darling, I'll have to set you free
You made me a prisoner and loving you's my crime
But I'll let you have your way just one more time

Just one more time, I'll let you walk back through that door
One more time, from now on I'm keeping score
Your heart is full of poison but loving you's so fine
So I'll let you have your way just one more time

Leave me if you don't need me
Go on and make up your mind
Never again will you hear me say
Well, I'll let you have your way just one more time

Just one more time, I'll let you have your way with me
One more time, sweet darling, I'll have to set you free
You made me a prisoner and loving you's my crime
But I'll let you have your way just one more time

Leave me if you don't need me
Go on and make up your mind
Never again will you hear me say
Well, I'll let you have your way just one more time

Just one more time
Just one more time
Just one more time


11.Longing

Lyricist:Bill Carter, Ruth Ellsworth, Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villaneuva

Longing, you found me again
Deep in my heart
That's how it begins

Longing, you always win
I'll never ask why, when I start to cry
Longing again

I hear your voice and I see your face
Dreaming at night, I feel your embrace

Longing, dreaming and then
Once more I awake, my heart starts to break
Longing again

Longing, remembering when
Those sweet thoughts of you, were all that I knew
Longing again

I hear your voice and I see your face
Dreaming at night, I feel your embrace

Longing, dreaming and then
Once more I awake, my heart starts to break
Longing again

Once more I awake, my heart starts to break
Longing again


12.Then She Kissed me

Lyricist:Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, Phil Spector

Well she walked up to me
And she asked me if I wanted to dance
She looked kinda nice 'n so I said I might take a chance

When we danced she held me tight
When I walked her home that night
All the stars were shining bright and then she kissed me

Each time I saw her I wished I could see her again
I wanted to let her know that she was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do, so I whispered, I love you
She said that she loved me too and then she kissed me

She kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before
It's the way that I want to be kissed for ever more
She kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before
It's the way that I want to be kissed for ever more

I knew that she was mine so I gave her all the love that I had
One day she took me home to meet her mom and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride, to always be right by my side
She felt so happy she almost cried and then she kissed me

And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me


13.No One to Talk to but the Blues

Lyricist:George Sherry, Wayne Walker

Last night I came home but you wasn't there
Found all my things thrown everywhere
No one to talk to, no one to talk to but the blues

Oh, I read your letter, oh signed, 'I love you'
But in your letter, said we were through
No one to talk to, no one to talk to but the blues

Sometimes when we quarrel
The things that are said
Can make you feel bitter
When you'd rather feel love instead

Well, come on back home, oh where you belong
I love you baby, yes, I was wrong
No one to talk to, no one to talk to but the blues

Sometimes when we quarrel
The things that are said
Baby, they make you feel bitter
When you'd rather feel love instead

Come on back home, oh where you belong
I love you baby, Lord, I was wrong
No one to talk to, no one to talk to but the blues
No one to talk to, no one to talk to but the blues


14.(I'm Gonna) Love, Love, Love You

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villanueva

I'm gonna love, love, love you like no other
Like nobody else can love you
I'm gonna dot every, 'I' across every, 'T'
I'll make sure nobody loves you even half as much as me

In school they always taught us to be complete
'And make sure you finish everything, nice and neat'
I listened well and learned about the birds and the bees
And now I'm sure I know just how, so let me please

Girl, when I'm alone with you, I know you understand
The in's and out's of love, so let me be your man

I'm gonna love, love, love you like no other
Like nobody else can love you
I'm gonna dot every, 'I' across every, 'T'
I'll make sure nobody loves you even half as much as me

My Daddy told me, 'Never leave a job half done'
And I intend to finish up what I've begun
Oh I'll seek high and low, I'll leave no stone unturned
And I hope you do the same for me in return

Girl, when I'm alone with you, I know you understand
The in's and out's of love, so let me be your man

I'm wanna love, love, love you like no other
Like nobody else can love you
I'm gonna dot every, 'I' across every, 'T'
I'll make sure nobody loves you even half as much as me

I'm gonna dot every, 'I' across every, 'T'
I'll make sure nobody loves you near the way I love you
I'll make sure nobody loves you even half as much as me


15.Whatever Made You Change Your Mind

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt

Well, I can't believe that you would walk out on me
Why did you tell me that you loved me?
What did I do to make you treat me so unkind?
Whatever made you change your mind?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Your love for me has changed without a reason why
You said you needed me, I guess that was a lie
'Cause now today I find, you're leaving me behind
Whatever made you change your mind?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

You're not the same as the day you took my name
And now you're slipping through my fingers
It seems like yesterday that all your love was mine
Whatever made you change your mind?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

You said, we'd work it out, I think that's only fair
I gave my life to you, now you don't even care
And now today I find, you're leaving me behind
Whatever made you change your mind?
Whatever made you change your mind?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


16.Painful Days and Sleepless Nights

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

Don't keep your love from me
Bring it over to these loving arms that long to hold you tight
I should thank you, for showing me the meaning
Of those painful days and sleepless nights

Each day hurts more than the day before
And each lonely night, seems to never end
No, no, all that's left here to hold me tight
Are those painful days and sleepless nights

I'm still here in misery, where you left me
And I must be a sad and lonely sight
You must be making sure I know full well the meaning
Of those painful days and sleepless nights

Each day hurts more than the day before
And each lonely night, seems to never end
No, no, all that's left here to hold me tight
Are those painful days and sleepless nights
Yes, those painful days and sleepless nights


17.Someone Else's Problem

Lyricist:Bill Carter, Tony Villaneuva

Now she's someone else's problem, and I'm finally free
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me

I was goin' crazy, out of my mind
Closer to the edge day by day
Step by step, walkin' that line
When another fool stepped in to take my place

Now she's someone else's problem, and I'm finally free
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me

I was always out of money, workin' overtime
While she ran up bills, I couldn't pay
All my friends say, she's lookin' fine
Since she's been gone, I feel the same

Now she's someone else's problem, and I'm finally free
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me


18.Alone With You

Lyricist:Dale Dodson, Brian Hofeldt, Billy Lawson

I think that I'll unplug the phone tonight
Turn off the TV, turn down the lights
I don't wanna join the crowd, I'm not in the mood
I just wanna be alone with you

I don't feel like goin' anywhere
If I'm missin' something, I don't care
I don't feel like hangin' out
There's nothin' I wanna do
I just wanna be alone with you

It's been so long since we've been alone
I wanna make the most of it
Savor every little bit we can

Tonight I think I'll give the car a rest
If they wonder where we are, let 'em guess
In you arms and out of reach
I don't wanna leave this room
I just wanna be alone with you
Yeah, I just wanna be alone with you


19.Before You Go

Lyricist:Buck Owens, Don Rich

Oh, you say that you're goin' away and leavin' me
And you say you ain't never coming back
That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing
And you're gonna head off down the track

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrel that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow, be sure you know before you go

Oh, your wounded pride has blinded your reason
And right now you wanna to hurt me if you can
The man is waiting here to take you to the station
And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrel that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow, be sure you know before you go


20.More Of Your Love

Lyricist:Kostas, W Wilson

I don't want much
Just a little bit more of your love
More of your love, more of your love

I don't need much
Just a little bit more of your love
I need a little bit more of it every night and day

Well, I got everything I need that's what I told myself
I wasn't about to give up my heart to no one else
I was afraid to love somebody new
Now I'm just afraid I'll never get enough of you

I don't want much
Just a little bit more of your love
More of your love, more of your love

I don't need much
Just a little bit more of your love
I need a little bit more of it every night and day

Some folks gotta have a lot of things to own
Fast cars and swimming pools and fancy homes
But they don't got it made the way we do
My satisfaction's guaranteed just loving you

I don't want much
Just a little bit more of your love
More of your love, more of your love

I don't need much
Just a little bit more of your love
I need a little bit more of it every night and day
I need a little bit more of it every night and day


21.You Know What She's Like

Lyricist:B Carter, Ruth Ellsworth-carter, Tony Villanueva

Most of the time she's happy and everything is fine
And I feel so lucky knowing she's mine
But there's a lonely wind that blows and a place she sometimes
goes
And I have to tell myself just give her time

You know what she's like when she gets the blues
Nothing I can say, nothing I can do
I couldn't love her more, I hate to see her cry
We've been here before, you know what she's like

When a man loves a woman, he'll always try
To be understanding when there's tears in her eyes
But neither wine nor roses can unlock the door that closes
And that's when my heart is there to tell my mind

You know what she's like when she gets the blues
Nothing I can say, nothing I can do
I couldn't love her more, I hate to see her cry
We've been here before, you know what she's like


22.My Heart's Ready

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

My heart's ready, yes, it's ready
This time it's ready for love
I'm not gonna miss one single kiss
My heart's ready for love

All the times before I built a wall around my heart
Wouldn't let myself give in
Then you came into my life, like an angel from above
And my heart's ready for love

My heart's ready, yes, it's ready
This time it's ready for love
I'm not gonna miss one single kiss
My heart's ready for love

I look up to the sky, and I see a shooting star
I made a wish right there
Your hand in mine forever is what I'm dreaming of
And my heart's ready for love

My heart's ready, yes, it's ready
This time it's ready for love
I'm not gonna miss one single kiss
My heart's ready for love

My heart's ready, yes, it's ready
This time it's ready for love
I'm not gonna miss one single kiss
My heart's ready for love
No, I'm not gonna miss one single kiss
My heart's ready for love


23.Knee Deep in the Blues

Lyricist:M Endsley

Well, I've just been thinking things over
My heart is flooding with tears
My life just don't seem worth living
And it's been this way for years

My skies above turning gray now
Well, I just walked the soles off of my shoes
Well, I just don't have much to say now
I'm just knee deep in the blues

Well, I've just been thinking things over
My heart is flooding with tears
My life just don't seem worth living
And it's been this way for years

Don't ask me why I've been crying
Well, 'cause I have lost about all I can lose
Well, there's just no use in trying
Well, I'm just knee deep in the blues


24.The Right Place

Lyricist:Bill Carter, Ruth Ellsworth, Tony Villanueva

If you're looking for a life of luxury
Then you ain't looking for a man like me
But if a simple life to you is no disgrace
Honey, you came to the right place

The right place is right here in my arms
Here with me eternally right next to my heart
For promises of love you can embrace
Honey, you came to the right place

If you're happy with a man who's never home
I'll tell you now, I'm not a Rolling Stone
If walking hand in hand is more your pace
Honey, you came to the right place

The right place is right here

Promises of love you can embrace
Honey, you came to the right place
Honey, you came to the right place
Honey, you came to the right place


25.Love's Gonna Live Here

Lyricist:Alvis E Jr Owens

Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bells a-ringin', I hear birds are singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bees a-hummin' and I know the days are comin'
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here, love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here again


26.My Heart Skips A Bit

Lyricist:Buck Owens

Oh, my heart skips a beat when we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

Well, I did a double take the day I met you
My heart turned a flip as I stood next to you
And I knew right then I never could forget you
For you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat when we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat

You came into my life without a warning
And you turned my cloudy skies from gray to blue
You're my sunshine that comes up every morning
Yes, you are my every dream come true

And my heart skips a beat when we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know you're mine until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat


27.Down On THe Corner Of Love

Lyricist:Buck Owens

You'll find me hangin' around, it's there I'll be found
Down on the corner of love
'Neath the stars that shine and the neon signs
I'll be down on the corner of love

When night starts to fall and love starts to call
Down on the corner of love
You'll find me hangin' around, it's there I'll be found
Down on the corner of love

When it's late in the evenin' then I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a stealin' 'neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down and the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love

When you're passin' by, too lonesome to cry
Down on the corner of love
Just stop for a while, I'll teach you to smile
Down on the corner of love

A love that you had has treated you bad
Down on the corner of love
Forget what you knew, we'll start life anew
Down on the corner of love

When it's late in the evenin' then I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a stealin' 'neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down and the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love

When it's late in the evenin' then I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a stealin' 'neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down and the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love


28.Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass

Lyricist:Buck Owens

Who's gonna dry your big blue eyes day after day?
Who's gonna jump when you say frog?
Who's gonna bow and scrape
After I've gone away?

Who's gonna kiss you and who's gonna miss you?
And who's gonna hold to your hand?
Who's gonna chop your kindlin' wood
After I've made new plans?
Hey, who's gonna be your man?

Who's gonna bring you your breakfast in bed?
Who's gonna whisper goodnight?
Who's gonna keep you as warm as toast
On those cold winter nights?

Who's gonna be your puppy dog
When I'm a thing of the past?
Hey, who's gonna mow your grass?

Who's gonna bring you your breakfast in bed?
Who's gonna whisper goodnight?
Who's gonna keep you as warm as toast
On those cold winter nights?

Who's gonna be your puppy dog
When I'm a thing of the past?
Hey, who's gonna mow your grass?
Who's gonna mow your grass?


29.Sam's Place

Lyricist:Buck Owens, R Simpson

There's a place down the street, we call Sam's place
It starts a-jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down
You can always find me down at Sam's place
For that's where the gang all hangs around

There's ol' shimmy shakin' Tina, she hails from Pasedena
She always got a big smile on her face
There's ol' hoochie coochie Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati
There is always a party at Sam's place

Well, they've got a swingin' band down at Sam's place
You can hear 'em pickin' twenty blocks away
Oh, they're playing country music down at Sam's place
From the setting sun until the break of day

There's ol' shimmy shakin' Tina, she hails from Pasedena
She always got a big smile on her face
There's ol' hoochie coochie Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati
There is always a party at Sam's place
And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's place


30.Together Again

Lyricist:Buck Owens

Together again, my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters, we're together again

Together again, the gray skies are gone
You're back in my arms, now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters, we're together again
And nothing else matters now, we're together again


31.Tarnished Love

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

We have a love that is tarnished

I know that you have cheated
It's true that you have lied
You've answered calls from strangers
And pushed our love aside

But I'll ignore what I don't see
Sometimes it's best that way
Ignorance gives tarnished love
Another chance to play

We have a love that is tarnished
It doesn't shine like it shone when it was new
I know that vows can be broken
I'm sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes too

Love is seldom perfect
It often fades away
But, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day

We have a love that is tarnished
It doesn't shine like it shone when it was new
I know that vows can be broken
Sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes too

Love is seldom perfect
It often fades away
But, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day
Yes, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day

We have a love that is tarnished


32.Desperate Ways

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

Your desperate ways are gonna hurt you
Your desperate ways will make you cry
You'll make your man pack up and leave you
Well, I'm that man whose saying goodbye

All over town girl, you've been running
All over town you're livin' high
You forgot your home and the one who loves you
Well, I'm that one that you left here to cry

Well, your desperate ways are callin' you every single night
And you never can say no
Some day when you're older and on your own
Your desperate ways will leave you all alone

Your desperate ways are gonna hurt you
Oh, your desperate ways will make you cry
You'll make your man pack up and leave you
I'm that man whose saying goodbye

Well, your desperate ways are callin' you every single night
And you never can say no
Some day when you're older and on your own
Your desperate ways will leave you all alone
Yes your desperate ways will leave you all alone

Some day when you're older and on your own
Your desperate ways will leave you all alone
Yes, your desperate ways will leave you all alone
Yes, your desperate ways will leave you all alone


33.Play Me the Waltz of the Angels

Lyricist:Dennis J Knutson, Rory Lee

Played a party last night for some old folks
They were dancing and smiling at me
'Cept this old man, alone at a table
As if there's someplace that he'd rather be

So I said, 'Sir, can I play something for you
Something special that you'd like to hear'
When he looked up at me, he was smiling
Oh, but his eyes couldn't hide the tears

He said, 'Play me the Waltz of the Angels
And I'll close my eyes and pretend
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
So I can dance with my angel again'

He said, 'Yes, that's the song I remember
Thats' the one that she loved the best
It was playing the night that I met her
And it was playing when we laid her to rest'

Play me the Waltz of the Angels
And I'll close my eyes and pretend
Play me the Waltz of the Angels
So I can dance with my angel again
Let me dance with my angel again


34.Foolin' Around

Lyricist:Harlan Howard, Buck Owens

I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me

I wasn't foolin' round the day I said I do
But many a night I wished that I've been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you, a fool I'll always be

I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me

So honey, fool around, you'll know right where I'm at
Don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me

I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the
start
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Come on home and fool around with me


35.I've Got A Tiger By The Tail

Lyricist:Harlan Howard, Buck Owens

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Well, looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Well, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
Oh, there ain't no way to slow you down
Oh, I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail


36.Cryin' Time

Lyricist:Buck Owens

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now you say that you've found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Yes, I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time


37.Big In Vegas

Lyricist:Buck Owens, Terry Laverne Stafford

When I was young I left my home
And went away to Vegas
With my guitar and my dreams
I had to try to play and sing in Vegas

But my momma told me I was wrong
And she begged me to stay at home
But my will was strong and
I had to make it big in Vegas

They'll put my name up in lights where I'm playin'
And the lines out in front will be long
I'll get a standing ovation from the people
When I start to sing my song
When I turn 'em on in Vegas

But I've played every honky tonk
And smokey bar in Vegas
And I guess that I don't have
What it takes for Las Vegas

But my dreams still linger on
Though my faith is almost gone
But my will is strong and
I've gotta make it big in Vegas

They'll put my name up in lights where I'm playin'
And the lines out in front will be long
I'll get a standing ovation from the people
When I start to sing my song
When I turn 'em on in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas


38.Come Back

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

Since you've been gone somebody stole my brand new car
'N I keep breaking strings on this here guitar
There ain't nothing the way it ought to be
Since you left me

Since you been gone I don't go to work no more
'N I spend most the time staring at the door
Well, a man just came and he took away my TV.
Since you left me

Since you been gone I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Since you left me, nothing turns out right

Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
That things ain't right, well

Since you've been gone somebody stole my brand new car
I keep breaking strings on this here guitar
There ain't nothing the way it ought to be
Since you left me

Since you been gone I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Since you left me, nothing turns out right

You better come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
That things ain't right

Well, come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
Come back, to me baby
That things ain't right


39.The Lost and Found

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, Tony Villanueva

There's a honky-tonk across the tracks
It's called The Lost and Found
And anytime both night or day
You hear the jukebox sound

It's playing sad and lonesome songs
That help the beer go down
You always have a song to count on
At The Lost and Found

They always take good care of you
At The Lost and Found
And when the closing lights come on
You're still hanging 'round

'Cause if you're in for a penny
Then you're in for a pound
You always seem to lose yourself
At The Lost and Found

The proprietor sets you up a tab
If you seek too deep
And the barmaid gently wakes you
If you fall asleep

And asks you if you need a cab
Or maybe one more round
They always take good care of you
At The Lost and Found

They always take good care of you
At The Lost and Found
And when the closing lights come on
You're still hanging 'round

'Cause if you're in for a penny
Then you're in for a pound
You always seem to lose yourself
At The Lost and Found
You always seem to lose yourself
At The Lost and Found


40.Lies, Lies, Lies

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt

This cloud of doubt now hangs above our love
And it's causing my poor heart to break in two
And every time I look into your eyes
I see trusting you was makin' me a fool

Lies, lies, lies, why am I surprised
Every time I look at you I see it in your eyes
The little white ones I can handle, baby can't you see
I know now you were lyin' when you said that you loved me

Now everyone in town knows where you've been
And they're tellin' me you playin' me like a fool
You did something I would never do
I guess you never learned the golden rule

Lies, lies, lies, why am I surprised
Every time I look at you I see it in your eyes
The little white ones I can handle, baby can't you see
I know now you were lyin' when you said that you loved me

So add my name to your long list of fools
Who didn't know the price they had to pay
You won't have ol' me to kick around
'Cause I'm gonna turn my back and walk away

Lies, lies, lies, why am I surprised
Every time I look at you I see it in your eyes
The little white ones I can handle, baby can't you see
I know now you were lyin' when you said that you loved me
Yes I know now you were lyin' when you said that you loved me


41.I'm Your Man

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt

I'm your man, yes I am
Oh, I can get the job well done
Just throw me a little opportunity
And I'll prove it to you, I'm the one

I'm your man, yes I am
So baby give me a chance
You may not know it
But I know for sure that I wanna be your man

Well, you took me by surprise
Like lightning from above
When I look into your eyes
I see the girl I love

I'm your man, yes I am
And baby it's out of my hands
It can't be nothin' but a full time spot
'Cause, baby, I'm your man

I'm your man, yes I am
So, baby throw me a bone
Oh, I can work twice as hard as any man could
And I hate to see you work alone

I'm your man, yes I am
So, baby, give me a chance
You may not know it
But I know for sure that I wanna be your man

Well, you took me by surprise
Like lightning from above
When I look into your eyes
I see the girl I love

I'm your man, yes I am
And baby it's out of my hands
It can't be nothin' but a full time spot
'Cause, baby, I'm your man

No no oh, it can't be nothin' but a full time spot
'Cause, baby, I'm your man


42.Where Ya Been

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
What took you so long?

I was wanderin' 'round this mean old town
Chin down on my chest
My brows were beaten, my pride was feelin'
Like it needed a little rest

But then you came along with a beautiful smile
And you danced just like a dream
You kiss like fire and your lips taste sweeter than
Strawberries and ice cream

Been all around, had all kinds of lovin'
Never felt a love so strong
Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
What took you so long?

I remember when you looked at me
A big smile on your face
It moved me so it's a memory
Time will not erase

'Cause you came along when I was wishin'
I was six feet underground
It's good to know when you least expect it
True love can be found

You picked me up and dusted me off
Got me singing a brand new song
Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
What took you so long?

Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
What took you so long to appear?
All I know is we're going to stay together
Springtime through winter, year after year after year

We're pitchin' woo and cooin' together
Like a couple of turtle doves
Some folks say it's crazy but I like to call it
Good ol' fashioned love

If we keep on lovin' like there's no tomorrow
Baby, we can't go wrong
Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
And what took you so long?

What took you, honey?

Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
What took you so long to appear?
All I know is we're going to stay together
Springtime through winter, year after year after year

We're pitchin' woo and cooin' together
Like a couple of turtle doves
Some folks say it's crazy but I have to call it
Good ol' fashioned love

If we keep on lovin' like there's no tomorrow
Baby, we can't go wrong
Where ya been? What ya been doin'?
And what took you so long?

I said where ya been? What ya been doin'?
And what took you so long?


43.She Left Me Cold

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt

Well, it was one hot day in mid-July
I had a little fight with that gal of mine
She went to the store for some cigarettes
Well, it's been three days and she ain't back yet

Well, she left me cold, she left me cold
Well, I'm lookin' just like Jack Frost or so I'm told
Well, it's a hundred degrees outside
But she left me cold

Well, that little gal of mine, she made me hot all the time
She kept me warm in the wintertime
But now I sit and shiver while the big tears flow
Until the icicles hang right off my nose

Well, she left me cold, she left me cold
Well, I'm lookin' just like Jack Frost or so I'm told
Well, it's a hundred degrees outside
But she left me cold

Well, the weatherman says that it's hot outside
But I wouldn't really know
I'm wearin' two sweaters and woolen socks
But I'm chilly from my head down to my toes

Well, she left me cold, she left me cold
Well, I'm lookin' just like Jack Frost or so I'm told
Well, it's a hundred degrees outside
But she left me cold

Well, the weatherman says that it's hot outside
But I wouldn't really know
I'm wearin' two sweaters and woolen socks
But I'm chilly from my head down to my toes

Well, she left me cold, she left me cold
Well, I'm lookin' just like Jack Frost or so I'm told
Well, it's a hundred degrees outside
But she left me cold

Hey, hey, hey, it's hundred degrees outside
But she left me cold


44.Lover's Lie

Lyricist:Tony Villaneuva

You came home this morning
Wearing the clothes you wore last night
Dress so wrinkled, hair's all out of place
You say you fell asleep at your sister's watching movies
But that's not the picture showing on your face

I have every right to ask questions
But you know, I'm not one to pry
I don't want to live with the sad truth
I'd much rather live a lover's lie

Your love for me is now a cup half full
You fill the other half at another well
My love for you now is thunder without rain
And it's been so long since the last drop fell

I have every right to ask questions
But you know, I'm not one to pry
I don't want to live with the sad truth
I'd much rather live a lover's lie

I have every right to ask questions
But you know, I'm not one to pry
I don't want to live with the sad truth
I'd much rather live a lover's lie

No, I don't want to live with the sad truth
I'd much rather live a lover's lie


45.Leave A Message, Juanita

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt, J Lauderdale, Tony O. Villanueva

Well, it's been three days
And I haven't heard a single word
But my message lights are blinking
Everyday when I get home from work

Hesitation then I hang up
And I'm hoping it was you who phoned me
So I'm gonna change my greeting
To a message that is for you only

I wanna make it clear
Next time you call here
Leave a message Juanita
Let me know that you called
Tell me how I can reach ya
Is there hope after all?

My love, the tears we cried won't be in vain
Honey, I'll take all the blame
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you

I called up your momma
Even talked to all your friends
But they wasn't talking
And they told me not to call again

I said, 'I understand'
But would somebody help me please
If you see Juanita could you
Tell her that I'm on my knees

I wanna make it right
I miss her everyday and night
Leave a message Juanita
Let me know that you called
Tell me how I can reach ya
Is there hope after all?

My love, the tears we cried won't be in vain
Honey, I'll take all the blame
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you

Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you


46.Me, Myself and I

Lyricist:Clayton Baker, Tony Villaneuva

Misery loves company
Right now it's just us three
We'll have a real good cry
Just me, myself and I

I once had everything
All the treasures that love can bring
But don't worry 'cause we'll get by
Just me, myself and I

This loneliness is driving me crazy
Sometimes I think, I'm going insane
If I could just get over you, I know that we'll be fine
Me, myself and I

Could say I'm glad you're gone
And hope you never come back home
But I know, I just can't lie
To me, myself and I

I could stay behind closed doors
Never showing my face anymore
But there is no place to hide
From me, myself and I

This loneliness is driving me crazy
Sometimes I think, I'm going insane
If I could just get over you, I know that we'll be fine
Me, myself and I
Oh yes me, myself and I


47.There Goes The Bride

Lyricist:Ed Atkins, Brian Hofeldt, Mark Horn, Tony Villanueva

Our wedding day was nothin' short of perfect
Everything so beautifully arranged
Then out of the blue right before we said 'I do'
She turned and ran like she'd gone insane

There goes the bride you can kiss that girl goodbye
I guess she really takes the cake this time
I need to find a hole that I can crawl inside
Here comes my heartache, there goes the bride

She left me standin' there at the altar
I was embarrassed and confused
What can I have done that would make that little girl run
Like someone had set fire to her shoes

There goes the bride you can kiss that girl goodbye
I guess she really takes the cake this time
I need to find a hole that I can crawl inside
Here comes my heartache, there goes the bride

There goes the bride you can kiss that girl goodbye
I guess she really takes the cake this time
I need to find a hole that I can crawl inside
Here comes my heartache, there goes the bride
Here comes my heartache, there goes the bride
There she goes


48.My Angel's Gettin' Tired

Lyricist:Tony Villanueva

I know it's not the first time
I've been on my knees before
And I know I swore last time
I won't be drinking anymore

Lord, I must confess
I fell a time or two
And I know with every swallow
I took another piece of you

My angel's gettin' tired
Of always hangin' â~round
And although she's got wings to fly
I've kept her on the ground

When I look into her loving eyes
I see the distant fire
She's still holding on
But my angel's gettin' tired

I had your forgiveness
And that still amazes me
Your love held us together
But this time how can it be?

That you still love me, angel
And believe I'll see the light
Oh, and I can see the damage
Of so many sleepless nights

My angel's gettin' tired
Of always hangin' â~round
And although she's got wings to fly
I've kept her on the ground

When I look into her loving eyes
I see the distant fire
She's still holding on
But my angel's gettin' tired
My angel's gettin' tired


49.Just to Spend the Night with You

Lyricist:Brian Hofeldt

I've been spending time alone
While I should have been with you
Why am I here on my own
When I have a love that's true?

Even though we're far apart
I know that you love me too
But don't you know I haven't smiled
Since the last time I saw you

Well, I'd walk a thousand miles
Just to see you again
I'd give everything that I have
Plus the stars and the moon
Just to spend the night with you

I can hear the people say
'He's not happy anymore'
I've been tryin' to get to you
But I can't get out the door

If I can't hold you in my arms
Oh, then what am I living for?
I can't even smell your sweet perfume
On my pillow anymore

Well, I'd walk a thousand miles
Just to see you again
I'd give everything that I have
Plus the stars and the moon
Just to spend the night with you

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Well, I'd walk a thousand miles
Just to see you again
I'd give everything that I have
Plus the stars and the moon
Just to spend the night with you

Well, I'd walk a thousand miles
Just to see you again
I'd give everything that I have
Plus the stars and the moon
Just to spend the night with you

Just to spend the night with you
Just to spend the night with you
Just to spend the night with you


50.Hold on Fool Heart

Lyricist:Robert Reynolds, Tony Villaneuva, Earl Wright

Hold on, fool heart
Don't let her bring us in
Don't let her win again
I hope by now you have learned

Let go, cruel eyes
Don't make us watch her leave
Don't let our hearts believe
That she will ever return

Your love was sweet
It was the sweetest dream
But every evening
Must meet the dawn

I thought that you
Would always be with me
Then I woke up
And you were gone

Hold on, fool heart
Don't let her bring us in
Don't let her win again
I hope by now you have learned

Hold on fool heart

Your love was sweet
It was the sweetest dream
But every evening
Must meet the dawn

I thought that you
Would always be with me
Then I woke up
And you were gone

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, fool heart
Don't let her bring us in
Don't let her win again
I hope by now you have learned

Hold on, fool heart
Hold on, fool heart


51.Vision to Dream On

Lyricist:V Gerard, Tony Villaneuva

I've seen your forbidden treasures
But those riches, I just can't hold
Though they shines like a diamond
And they're precious as pure gold

But someone is waiting to love me
With a heart so strong and true
And though it'll be easy to stay here
I'm gonna walk away from you

I feel inside the burning
Of a love that just can't be
And nothing can stop this yearning
That builds inside of me

I've got more than a man could ask for
So wanting you is foolish dreams
You're a vision to dream on
But a memory I don't need

I know it's not much consolation
It's hard to bow out gracefully
Darlin', I just have to thank you
You always left it up to me

There'll be no consummation
But dreaming is not a crime
And you'll be a sweet inspiration
For a long, long time

I feel inside the burning
Of a love that just can't be
And nothing can stop this yearning
That builds inside of me

I've got more than a man could ask for
Oh, wanting you is foolish dreams
Yes, you're a vision to dream on
But a memory I don't need
Yes, you're a vision to dream on
But a memory I don't need


52.Under The Influence Of Love

Lyricist:Harlan Howard, Buck Owens

She knew I knew that she was out to get me
But I just close my eyes and let it be
Now she walks by me like she never met me
I didn't even make a memory

For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of
I was so in love I let her hurt me though I knew better
Under the influence of love

Why did I let her do me like she done me?
Why can't I get that woman off my mind?
Although I know she never truly loved me
I wish she break my heart just one more time

For I was under the influence of love
I wonder now what I was thinking of
Yes, I was so in love I let her hurt me though I knew better
Under the influence of love
