BATTLE OF LOVE 

(Battle of love)
For over a year I've been in love with a girl so sweet
But the guy next door has declared a war and I won't retreat
He hays he could win that pretty girl love in a minute
But I'm gonna show that boy he's not a gonna win it
We're just beginning this mighty battle of love
(Battle of love)
He was once my friend through thick and thin but now I draw a line
For he wants to be my enemy and try to take what's mine
But I know his plans so I'll take my stand and defend her
He's gonna find that I'm not the kind to surrender
I'm out for winning this mighty battle of love
(Battle of love)
Now his money's dream and the limousine that he drives is new
I can only offer this heart of mine full of love that's true
I know I'm right and ready to fight for my true love
He's tellin' it all over town that he's got another new love
So I've got to win this mighty mighty battle of love
(Battle of love)
Now they say all's fair in love and war so may the best men win
And when they say I do I'll be glad to that to meet the best men then
If he wins her love how I ever learn to live without her
Cause here she is in my arms so why should I doubt her
If I'm really winning this mighty battle of love
I'm really winning this mighty battle of love

BEACON IN THE NIGHT 

Many souls are driftin' on the troubled sea of sin
The under tow of evil has pulled so many in
Tonight the troubled ways of sorrow fill our hearts with
pride
And we're so blind that we can't see the beacon in the
night.

The beacon in the night is always shinin'
And darkest clouds can have a silver linin'
Just set your torch for glory then don't turn left or
right
Heavens shore is lighted by the beacon in the night.

--- Instrumental ---

When the mist of wickedness conceals the beacon's light
And you're driftin' through the fog somewhere out in the
night
The one who whispers peace be still and calms the raging
sea
He is the beacon in the night, He'll rescue you and me.

The beacon in the night is always shinin'
And storm clouds can have a silver linin'
So set your course for glory and don't turn left or right
Be guided straight to Heaven by the beacon in the
night...

BEER RUN, GUITAR TAB

BEFORE I MET YOU 

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you.

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you.

I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you.

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
But darling I hope it's not true
For once I made plans about living alone
But that was before I met you...

BEING TOGETHER 

Being together as two friends
This all our love has ever been
Now even our friendship has gone
When we're together we're all alone.

Being together to forget
The ones we loved before we met
But now their mem'ries linger on
When we're together we're all alone.

Being together all this time
With someone else on our mind
For them our love grew stronger as time went by
When we're together we're all alone...

BENEATH STILL WATERS 

Beneath still waters
There's a strong undertow.
The surface won't tell you
What the deep water knows.

Darling, I'm saying
I know something's wrong.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.

This time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.

And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.

Beneath still waters
Your love is gone...

BEST FRIENDS 

(Leona)
I know you've been down just as far as a good man can go.
And the hurtin's come easy but the healin's been slow.
But you're on your way to recovery and you're not alone.
'Cause Nancy sure loves you and she's gonna take care of ol' Jones.
Chorus: (Both)
So cry on my shoulder and let's both get over the bad.
Let's chalk it up to just one more bad memory we have.
Friendship's the one thing that keeps love from driving us mad.
So cry on my shoulder, we're the best friends that we ever had.
(George)
I heard you left Haggard, I knew by the words in his song.
And you're wondering if you're right sittin' at home all alone.
But I know you still love him 'cause you're always there when he calls.
And always remember that you're his favorite memory of all.
Chorus: (Both)
So cry on my shoulder and let's both get over the bad.
Let's chalk it up to just one more bad memory we have.
Friendship's the one thing that keeps love from driving us mad.
So cry on my shoulder, we're the best friends that we ever had...

BEST GUITAR PICKER 

I didn't think to much about books and schoolin'
'Cause there was more important things to do
I'd just sit out in the yard and pick my old guitar
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do.

I would sit there by the hour pickin' "Wildwood Flower"
Wore my little fingers to the bone
Well, I said I would never rest 'til I am the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county.

--- Instrumental ---

I said someday I know I'll win my fame
One day all the world will know my name
I worked so very hard with that old guitar
Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do.

I would sit there all alone tryin' to pick out "Old
Sweet Home"
While everyone was in the yard
Well, I said I would never stop 'til I've reached the
very top
The best guitar picker in the whole county.

--- Instrumental ---

The years have passed I hav'nt changed my mind
'Cause I still pick the guitar all the time
Because I know someday I'm bound to learn to play
All the things the big hillbillies do.

I just sit her in my shop pickin' "Foggy Mountain Top"
Tellin' everybody ain't that great
'Cause before I go to rest I'm gonna be the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county.

--- Instrumental ---

I would sit there by the hour pickin' "Wildwood Flower"
Wore my little fingers to the bone
But I said I would never rest til' I am the very best
The best guitar picker in this whole county.

--- Instrumental to fade ---

BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND TOWN 

They finally got the nerve to tell me
Your no longer wanted hangin' around
I knew all along it would-a happened
So there this-a new place darlin', that I found.

And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright, to try our love 'cause I've been so far out
Perhaps the sun will go down between my house and town.

--- Instrumental ---

Please don't feel sorry darlin', 'cause you hurt me
Love just moved away for your, your little man
I could feel this bad, bad day a-comin'
So there's this new place darlin', that I plan.

And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright to cry out loud 'cause I've been so far out
So that the sun will go down between my house and town.

Yeah, the sun will go down between my house and town...

BIG BIG HEARTACHES 

Had not I tried to sleep but sleep won't come
So I'll walk the floor and face the morning sun
The past with all it's lorin' memories
Control this broken heart inside of me.

Big, big heartache hurt me so
How can I make my foolish heart let go
Big, big heartache keeps hanging on
Big, big heartache since you're gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I guess that I will always be a fool
My heart will alway tell me what to do
My mind tells me it's best to let you go
My heart cries out that I still love you so.

Big, big heartache hurt me so
How can I make my foolish heart let go
Big, big heartache keeps hanging on
Big, big heartache since you're gone.

Big, big heartache since you're gone...
