1.Till The End (1977)
If I never see your loving face again
I'll go on loving you till the end
And if my broken hearted love don't find a way to mend
I'll go on loving you till the end
The years and miles may separate you from me
The pain may lessen more as time goes by
But as for me memories will never fade
And I'll go on loving you till the end
If we're ever free to love again I know
Straight to your waiting arms is where I'll go
And there's I'll stay forever and I'll prove to you again
I'll go on loving you till the end
I'll go on loving you till the end
2.I Can Tell By The Way You Dance (1984)
I can see every time I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words you make me understand what's on your mind
The rhythm of your body close to mine
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holding you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holding you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
3.Slow Burning Memory (1985)
You taught me how to love you now you expect me to forget you
After all the promises we made
So I tell my heart it's over this hurt can't last forever
Just until the heartaches fad away
You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind
The day you said goodbye I began to realize
It would take a while for my broken heart to mend
I had hoped you were dealing with the same heartaches I'm
feeling
Maybe our love was just dieing to live
You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind
You got a slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind
4.That Just About Does It (1990)
Every night you go to bed crying
There's nothing left to do when love is dying
So before the whole world knows how we're hurting
Don't you think it's time we pull the curtains？
So many times I talked you out of leaving
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
I guess we've tried and failed once too often
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking
That just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it won't it
Maybe we should call a truce, we could but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it
It's sad to think that words could come between us
And what I said god knows I didn't mean it
It's time we realize this time it's over
It's tearing us apart to stay together
And that just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it won't it
Maybe we should call a truce, we could but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it
Maybe we should call a truce, we could but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it
5.Way Down Deep (1983)
This highway of heartache is rocky and rough
Lord I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire from the ashes of love
And roses don't bloom in the snow
Down deep (way down deep) inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel (I can feel) your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
You were my light in the darkest of days
Though storms that were raging within
And slowly but surely the clouds rolled away
And the sun started shining again
Down deep (way down deep) inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel (I can feel) your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
Down deep (way down deep) inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel (I can feel) your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
Way down deep in my heart
6.Today My World Slipped Away (1983)
We made it final today
I gave you all I had you made your get away
All the love we once made
Tearing two memories today
I left the court room and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
There nothing left of my heart
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start
Cause today my world slipped away
We buried the plains that we made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid
Cause today my world slipped away
My friends say that I'll make it all right
I'll recover and start a new life
But that will be so hard to do
Cause living ain't worth living without you
And today my world slipped away
We buried the plains that we made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid
Cause today my world slipped away
Yes today my world slipped away
7.A PICTURE WITHOUT YOU
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE NO MUSIC WAS PLAYED
AND THINK OF A CHURCH WITH NOBODY PRAYING
IF YOU'VE EVER LOOKED UP AT A SKY WITHOUT NO ROOF
THEN YOU'VE SEEN A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU
OHHHH HAVE YOU WALKED THRU A GARDEN WHERE NOTHIN WAS GROWIN
OR STOOD BY A RIVER WHERE NOTHIN WAS FLOWIN
IF YOU'VE SEEN ROSE BUD WHERE KISSED BY THE DEW
THEN YOU'VE SEEN A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU
8.All I Want And Need Forever
Vern Gosdin
The Best of Vern Gosdin
All I Want and Need Forever
All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I
When I'm down and feel discouraged
You're always there to give me courage
Everyday you make me glad just to be alive
You're my companion when I'm lonely
You're the one and you're the only
Hand in hand we'll walk together side-by-side
All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I
You and I we have each other
To explore and to discover
Everything that came before left behind
You have chased away my sorrow
I look forward for tomorrow
Knowing we'll be together you and I
All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I
All I want and need forever
Is you and me together
Lady you're an angel in my eyes
You're my spark of inspiration
You have won my dedication
All I want and need forever is you and I
9.Is It Raining at Your House
Lyricist：H Cochran, Dean Dillon, V Gosdin
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you, is it cloudy all the time
Do you tremble when the phone rings and you think I'm on the
line
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sun shines
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Is it raining at your place just like it is over here
If it is then sweetheart like me I know you're scared
I just called you to console you like any old friend would do
Is it raining at your house and by the way, I still love you
10.Tight As Twin Fiddles
Lyricist：H Cochran, D Dillon
I grew up on western swing
Bob Wills had me hooked early in my teens
A fiddle was the only thing I put my fingers on
Faded love was my love till you came along
Oh, now we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
The fiddle we play with came straight from the man
We fiddled around oh, but we both understand
That we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
Here's to the fiddler playin' at my side
Now don't tell me Bob Wills sound ain't alive
Her harmony's on right or wrong lets me know
Oh, that we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
The fiddle we play with came straight from the man
We fiddle around oh, but we both understand
That we're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
We're tight as twin fiddles in a Bob Wills band
11.If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong (Do It Right)
Lyricist：M Barnes, V Gosdin
There's a closet full of dresses that I bought you
And here's the keys to the new car in the drive
And before you leave our room put on your best perfume
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
Oh, the next time the phone rings I won't answer
I don't want to be the fool, I was tonight
I don't want to know the truth, I don't want to see the proof
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
If you're gonna break my heart all to pieces
Just walk right out and leave me and let's end it all tonight
Take off your wedding band when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
Take off your wedding band when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
12.There Ain't Nothing Wrong
Lyricist：Hank Cochran, Dean Dillon, Vern Gosdin
We still share the same old bed
We still lay there side by side
Love's either playin' dead
Or is no longer alive
'Cause girl, it's been so long
Since we made love alive
But there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
Oh, there ain't nothin' wrong
There ain't nothin' right
We're still holdin' on
We just ain't holdin' on that tight
And I can't put my finger on
What's wrong let alone you at night
Oh, there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
We swear that we still do
But I know as well as you we don't
We're lyin' in the truth
Lyin' next to what we want
And if there is no wall
Then why are there two sides
Whoa, there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
Oh, there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
We're still holdin' on
We just ain't holdin' on that tight
And I can't put my finger on
What's wrong let alone you at night
Oh, there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
Oh, there ain't nothin' wrong
There just ain't nothin' right
13.Was It Just The Wine
Lyricist：Buddy Cannon, Vern Gosdin
Yeah, we laughed and talk and joke a while
Yeah, we drank a few
Yet, I waltz across the dance floor with you
Did we look each other in the eye
Did we see a sign？
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine？
Or was it just the wine
That made me break right down
And cry with the blues
Or was it just a memory of someone
Before you're tellin' me we're through？
Did I hold your body close to mine？
Did we make promises till the end of time？
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine？
Or was it just the wine
That made me break right down
And cry with the blues
Or was it just the memory of someone
Before you're tellin' me we're through？
Did I hold your body close to mine？
Did we make promises till the end of time？
Did we fall in love or was it just the wine？
14.I'm Still Crazy
Lyricist：Buddy Cannon, Slev Gosdin, Vern Gosdin
Well, I woke up one morning
With a note up on my chest
It said I'm gone for good
You're no longer with the best
Never dreamed there'd ever be
Another made for you
So, I just went crazy
There was nothing left to do
I used to be crazy over you
Nobody else could move me like you used to
I had to be out of my mind
Thinking I'd soon be over you
But I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
When the bad news finally hit me
Lord, it hurt me to the bone
I was just a fool to think
You could be just a little bit gone
But it would be easy
It wouldn't be hard to forget
Little did I know
That I hadn't seen nothing yet
I used to be crazy over you
Nobody else could move me like you used to
I had to be out of my mind
Thinking I'd soon be over you
I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
Oh, I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
Oh, I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
Oh, I'm still crazy and I'm not over you
15.Do You Believe Me Now
Lyricist：M D Barnes, V Gosdin
Don't you think you should have called
To tell me you were coming down
Oh you look so out of place
On this troubled side of town
It's a place where losers go
When they know there's nothing left
And after losing you
I just lost the will to live
Do you believe me now？
I told you time and time again
My heart and soul is in your hands
Do you believe me now？
Do you believe me now？
Look at the livin' dyin' proof
I ain't nothin' without you
Do you believe me now？
I don't know what changed your mind
I won't ask if this is real
I don't know if you're a dream
I only know how good it feels
If you could find it in your heart
To say the fire for me still burns
I'll find a place to turn around
Down this road of no return
Do you believe me now？
I told you time and time again
My heart and soul is in your hands
Do you believe me now？
Do you believe me now？
Look at the livin' dyin' proof
I ain't nothin' without you
Do you believe me now？
16.Chiseled In Stone
Lyricist：Max Barnes, Vern Gosdin
You ran cryin' to the bedroom
I ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven gone to hell
The words we spoke in anger
Just tore my world apart
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself
Then that old man sat down beside me
And looked me in the eye
And said 'Son, I know what you're going through
You ought to get down on your knees
And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to.'
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you lived through the story
That's still livin' in me
And you don't know about sadness
'Til you faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
'Til it's chiseled in stone
So I brought these pretty flowers
Hoping you would understand
Sometimes a man is such a fool
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing without you
You don't know about lonely
Or how long nights can be
Till you lived through the story
That old man just told me
And you don't know about sadness
'Til you faced life alone
You don't know about lonely
'Til it's chiseled in stone
You don't know about lonely
'Til it's chiseled in stone
17.If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong (Do Me Right)
Lyricist：M Barnes, V Gosdin
There's a closet full of dresses that I bought you
And here's the keys to the new car in the drive
And before you leave our room, put on your best perfume
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
Ohh, the next time the phone rings, I won't answer
I don't wanna be the fool I was tonight
I don't wanna know the truth, I don't wanna see the proof
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
If you're gonna break my heart all to pieces
Just walk right out and leave me and it's endin', ohh, tonight
Take off your wedding band, when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
Take off your wedding band, when he takes you by the hand
If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
18.That Just About Does It
Lyricist：Max Barnes, Vern Gosdin
Every night you go to bed crying
There's nothing left to do when love is dying
So before the whole world knows, how we're hurting
Don't you think it's time we pull the curtains？
So many times, I talked you out of leaving
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
I guess we've tried and failed once too often
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking
That just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it
It's sad to think that words could come between us
And what I said, God knows I didn't mean it
It's time we realize this time it's over
It's tearing us apart to stay together
And that just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could, but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could, but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it, don't it
19.Set 'Em Up Joe
Lyricist：Murray Franklin Cannon, Hank Cochran, Dean Dillon, Vern
Gosdin
They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Play a new tune and I'll play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
All my neon neighbors they like what I play
'Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run a needle through â~Walking The Floor'
Every night I run a needle through â~Walking The Floor'
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Play a new tune and I'll play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
I said 'Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor''
Set 'em up Joe and play â~Walking The Floor'
20.Today My World Slipped Away
Lyricist：Vern Gosdin, Mark Wright
We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your getaway
All the love we once made
Turned to memories today
I left the courtroom and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God that how much I hurt
There's nothin' left of my heart
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start
'Cause today my world slipped away
We buried the plans that we made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid
'Cause today my world slipped away
My friends say that I'll make it alright
I'll recover and start a new life
But that'll be so hard to do
'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you
And today my world slipped away
We buried the plans that we made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid
'Cause today my world slipped away
Yes, today my world slipped away
21.This Ain't My Rodeo
Lyricist：Max Duane Barnes, Garland Perry Cochran, Vern Gosdin
You say, you're Mama called and you must go
She's down in the bed and needs you so
And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not
But, honey ain't you're mama sick a lot？
Lately, your head hurts every night
Could it be, you wear your clothes too tight？
Since you don't seem to hear or see a thing I say or do
Then I know, there's nothing I can do for you
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first, I've seen this dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo
You're telling me you lost you're wedding band
Somehow you say, it slipped right off you're hand
When I asked about those boxes, stacked there, by the door
You say, it's just some old things you don't wear no more
I didn't make it all the way through school
But my Mama didn't raise any fool
I may not be the Einstein of our time
But honey, I'm not dumb and I'm not blind
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first, I've seen this dog and pony show
Honey, this ain't my first rodeo
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first, I've seen this dog and pony show
Honey, this ain't my first
22.It's Not Over Yet
Lyricist：H Cochran, V Gosdin
On the bed, lies your pillow
It's been there since you've been gone
And in the closet, your favourite shoes, you used to wear
And the perfume that I bought you
It still lingers everywhere
Somethin' tells me, it's not over yet
On the night-stand, is your picture
The one I've held, since you've been gone
The same picture you gave to me when we first met
It don't hold me in return
But it says, please don't forget
And it tells me, it's not over yet
It's not over 'til the memories of you
Have all died
'Til the tears from my eyes
Have finally dried
It's not over 'til that phone rings
And I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet
It's not over 'til that phone rings
And I don't reach to talk to you
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet
And hear you tell me, it's not over yet
23.Who You Gonna Blame It On This Time
Lyricist：H Cochran, V Gosdin
Oh, you say that it wasn't your fault
The reason that you're late
You had some good excuses
And your alibis are great
You think by now you would have
Used up all your lies
Who are you gonna blame it on this time？
Get out in the open
So I can plainly see
You have never failed
At making me believe
Oh, I can't wait to hear
I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time？
Oh, I want to believe you
And I do every time
It's what keeps us together
And that's fine
So I can't wait to hear
I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time？
Oh, I want to believe you
And I do every time
It's what keeps us together
And that's fine
So I can't wait to hear
I like to see you shine
So who are you gonna blame it on this time？
So who are you gonna blame it on this time？
24.Way Down Deep
Lyricist：M D Barnes, M T Barnes
This highway of heartache is rocky and rough
Lord, I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire from the ashes of love
Roses don't bloom in the snow
Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
You were my light on the darkest of days
Though storms that were raging within
And slowly but surely the clouds rolled away
And the sun started shining again
Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
25.Right In The Wrong Direction
Lyricist：Hank Cochran, Vern Gosdin, Mack Vickery
Well your office called to say you wouldn't be long
Since when did your boss get a jukebox of his own？
When I called to see how long you'd be, they said you'd been
long gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna
come home
Well you're leaving clues that any ole fool could see
Honey you're the fool if you think you're foolin' me
If you wanna go just let me know, we can sure enough get it all
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna
come home
Oh if you want to keep your home you better straighten up your
act
'Cause honey I can love you, I can even help you pack
If you turn around and come home now I just might not be gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna
come home
Oh if you want to keep your home you better straighten up your
act
'Cause honey I can love you, I can even help you pack
And if you turn around and come home now I just might not be
gone
You're headed right in the wrong direction honey if you wanna
come home
Well your headed right in the wrong direction honey
If you wanna come home
26.I Can Tell By The Way You Dance
Lyricist：Sandy Pinkard, Robb Strandlund
I can see, everytime I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words, you made me understand, what's on your mind
The rhythm of your body next to mine
Well, I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
Well, I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
27.I Guess I Had Your Leaving Coming
I broke your heart, I made you cry
Didn't raise a hand to wipe a tear from your eye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
To tell the truth, I told you lies
Can't say I blame you girl for telling me goodbye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right, being left behind
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
I let you down, one time too much
If I were you I'd leave me too, enough's enough
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right, being left behind
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
28.I Guess I Had Your Leavin' Coming
I broke your heart, I made you cry
Didn't raise a hand to wipe a tear from your eye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
To tell the truth, I told you lies
Can't say I blame you, girl, for telling me goodbye
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right, being left behind
I guess I had your leaving coming to me
I guess I had your leaving coming
I let you down one time too much
If I were you I'd leave me too, enough's enough
I guess I had your leaving coming to me

I guess I had your leaving coming for some time
I finally got what I deserved
I guess it serves me right, being left behind
