1. _ Old Country
(bobby harden)
City sun goes down at night
Making way for neon lights
Country boy is lookin at the moon
City girl is dressed just right
She may stay out late tonight
Country boy just plowed today |
2. _ Old Flames Have New Names
(bobby braddock, rafe van hoy)
I left town two years ago and moved on up to idaho
But swore that i'd be back again - pick up where i left off, oh man
Grown up sexy texas babies i got back in town tonight
Anticipating much delight
I pulled out my black book and called up my old lovers
I got five newlyweds and two expectant mothers
Chorus:
All my old flames have new names
There's a lot of girls in town
Who tied the knot and settled down
I thought i'd start a fire with one of my old flames
But they've all got new names
My sexy little dirt road sport is now called mrs. davenport
My pretty little black-eyed susie's now mrs. susan van der hoosie
Rosie who could blow my mind is sister rose on channel nine
The wildest lover of my life is now a federal judges wife
They don't want to recognize this old familiar face
I'm just a bad reminder of their wild and woolly days
Repeat chorus

3. _ It's Not Over(if I'm Not Over You)
(mark wright, larry kingston)
You can tell everyone love is over and done
You can pack all your things and go
You can lie to yourself and say there's nothing else
But there's something i think you should know
Chorus
(and) it's never really over even though you say we're through
You may be over me but can't you see it's not over if i'm not over you
There's not much i can do if it's over for you
I'll just wish you the best when you leave
But you've played such a part in my life and in my heart
You'll always be a part of me
Repeat chorus
You may be over me but can't you see
It's not over if i'm not over you

4. _ Postpone The Pain
(gary scruggs, mark wright)
I'm dying to forget about those goodbye words you said
I thought everything was right but you went and left instead
No pain, no gain, well i'm not out to win
All i really want to do is live to love again
Chorus
Trying to postpone the pain - stay in from the rain
Buy a little time - keep you off my brain
Get out and go insane - stay off mem'ry lane
Tonight i'll be flying trying to postpone the pain
Until that day arrives
I'll spend all my nights
Repeat chorus
The best way to survive
Is spending all my nights
Repeat chorus

5. _ Bubba Shot The Jukebox
(dennis linde)
We were all down at margie's bar
Telling stories if we had one
Someone fired the old jukebox up
The song sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflicting
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
So we did not draw an easy breathe
Until he laid that colt on the table
He hung his head till the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of margie's
Told him "don't play dumb with us, son"
"know damn well what the charge is."
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
Shook his head said, "bubba boy,"
"you was always a dense one."
Reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claiming
Bubba hollered, "reckless! hell!"
"i shot just where i was aiming."
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Well he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was justifiable homicide
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night

6. _ Talking To Hank
(bobby harden)
While i was hunting wild turkey and sippin' on jim beam
I walked up on something like i've never seen
So deep in the woods where i thought i was alone
Stood a structure where something or someone called home
I saw a shotgun and guitar and six- pack of beer
A sign on the front door said guess who lives here
An old red bone hound that looked older than time
And an old man who that he was just twenty-nine
Chorus
I swear he looked just like ole hank
I wouldn't bet a wooden nickel that he ain't
I got goose bumps and dizzy and felt kinda faint
I think i've been talkin' to hank
He said i've played that old guitar in a drifting country band
Played coast to coast and a dew foreign lands
Some crowds were big and some crowds were small
Somehow i hope i let'm know i loved them all
I said you're mighty skinny, he said would you believe
It only took one woman to do this to me
But you gotta bet your hat son and get out of the way
When they start hating love and loving to hate
Repeat chorus

7. _ Uptown,downtown(misery's All The Same)
(ron peterson, harlan howard)
I said i'm through with honky tonks
They only bring me down
I dressed my best and headed for
The brightest spot in town
I've watched the rich folks come and go and one thing's very clear
There's just as many lonely people here
Chorus
I'm just hangin' |
8. _ I'm Not Gettin' Any Better At Good-byes
(steve earle)
Seems like i've been here before
Just outside some closing door
Standing here just searching for a line
You'd think by now i'd have it down
I know i should be wiser now
Cause no one's gonna bail me out this time
Chorus
I'm not gettin' any better at good-byes
I'm not any better now than when i first began
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then
I suppose i'll cry a lot
The only thing for sure is i'm not gettin' any better at goodbye
Friends may come and friends may go
Lovers memories die so slow
And they wont always let you know it's time
But even this shall pass i guess
You'll just be like all the rest
I'll start dusting off all my best lines
Repeat chorus

9. _ Who Will The Next Fool Be
(charlie rich)
After you get rid of me - who will the next fool be
I know i know i know i know
There's things he'd like to know
About the girl i love so
Cause after all is said and done
You wont be satisfied with anyone
So after you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be
Chorus
Will he believe all those lies
End up like me with tears in his eyes
I know i know i know i know
And i'd like to be the one to tell him so
Cause after all is said and done
You wont be satisfied with anyone
So after you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be

10. _ I'll Think Of Something
(jerry foster, bill rice)
I don't know how i'll get her off my mind - but give me time
I'll think of something
I can't say that i'm all right - but by tonight
I'll think of something
I'll find so many things to do that i wont have the time to think of her
And then if she's still on my mind i'll try to drink enough to drown the hurt
And if that don't work
I'll think of something
Where do i go for love that i still need - now that i'm free
I'll think of something
And if someday by accident we meet - and i can't speak
I'll think of something
If i can't say a word to her i'll blame it on this lump that's in my throat
And standing there what will i do to hide my love enough that it wont show
Well i don't know
But i'll think of something
