COME HOME TO ME 

Lyin' here thinkin' and I happen to think
Blamin' myself for the things that I said
Hoping that you soon forget and forgive
My life without you ain't no way to live.

Come home to me, come home to me
It just won't be right till you do
Come home to me, come home to me
I can't take one more night all alone
Come on home.

--- Instrumental ---

Baby, you left a hurtin' only your love can heal
And I understand that's how I made you feel
Well, my life without you would just fall apart
Right from the body come my lonely heart.

Come home to me, come home to me
It just won't be right till you do
Come home to me, come home to me
I can't take one more night all alone
Baby, come on home.

The moon through the window
Is my shade of blue
As I'm holding your pillow
Longin' for you, baby.

Come home to me, come home to me
It just won't be right till you do
Come home to me, come home to me
I can't take one more night all alone
Come on home.

Come on home...

COME SUNDOWN 

I heard the front door closin' softly
As I waken from my sleep
With the last touch of her lips, Lord
Like a whisper on my cheek.

And I curse the sun for risin'
For the worse Lord, is yet to come
'Cause this mornin' she's just leavin'
But come sundown she'll be gone.

See the lipstick on the pillow
That I placed beneath her head
And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord
Where she lay upon my bed.

And it hurt to know it's over
For the hurt Lord, has just begun
'Cause this mornin' she's just leavin'
But come sundown she'll be gone...

COULDN'T LOVE HAVE PICKED A BETTER PLACE TO DIE 

Of all the people in this world, why you and I
With lovers here and everywhere we don't care enough to
try
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed
us by
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and
mine
There's so many places love could die, we must leave the
earth for a time
Oh, but it's in our hearts and it's in our bed and it's
even in your eyes
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here
with you and me
Oh, but it's pityful how all these tears won't bring it
back to life
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, but it's pityful how all these tears won't bring it
back to life

Oh, couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

COUNTRY CHRISTMAS 

In our little country settlement there's harmony a-ringing
The echo flowing softly through the hills of silent night
All the shinny decorations on the big tree in the church yard
Will make the folks for miles around sing I Saw the Light.

We're gonna have a country christmas
We're gonna Christmas the old time away
We'll let the church bells ring as we gather 'round to sing
And show our love for Jesus as we pray.

We'll have lots of homemade candy and presents for the children
And let the elders grace the table filled with the food and wine
There's not a better way to say happy birthday Jesus
Than to have a good old gospel singing country Christmas time.

We're gonna have a country christmas
We're gonna Christmas the old time away
We'll let the church bells ring as we gather round to sing
And show our love for Jesus as we pray.

Jesus as we pray...

CRAWDAD SONG 

You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby of mine.

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey (honey)
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe (babe)
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back
Got all the crawdads in his sack
(Honey, baby of mine.)

The man feel down and he burst his bag, honey (honey)
The man feel down and he burst his bag, babe (babe)
The man feel down and he burst his bag
Along came the crawdads back in the bag?
(Honey, baby of mine.)

You get, I'll get, honey
You get, I'll get, babe
You get, I'll get
We'll get
(Honey, baby of mine.)

--- Instrumental ---

What you goin' do when the sun goes dry, honey (honey)?
What you goin' do when the sun goes dry, babe (babe)
What you goin' do when the sun goes dry
Sit on the back and watch the crawdads die
(Honey, baby of mine.)

You get, I'll get, honey
You get, I'll get, babe
You get, I'll get
We'll get
(Honey, baby of mine.)

You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll go down to the crawdad hole.
(Honey, baby of mine...)

CRAZY ARMS 

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to...
So please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to...

CRY BABY CRY 

(Chorus:)
Tell me why baby why baby why
You make me cry baby cry baby cry
I can stop loving you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby why baby why

I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time that the feathers flew
Your running wild kicking up your heels
Leaving me home with a hand full of bills

I can't live with out your you know it's true
There's no living with you so what'll I do
I'm going honky tonking get as tight as I can
Maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man

(Repeat chorus)

I don't know but I've heard say
Every little dog is gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention and don't forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonking with my best friend
I shoulda quit you way back then
Now I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore
When you come home feeling for the knob on the door

(Repeat chorus)

CRY LIKE A BABY 

By now I bet she's wonderin' how I'm doin
If it broke my heart when she told me goodbye
Well every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

I'll bet she even thinks I'm gonna miss her
She probably thinks she's always on my mind
But every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

She believes that I can't live without her
And it hurts so bad some times I almost die
Well every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

(Spoken)
You know I bet way down deep
That she thinks I'll always love her
And I'll bet she thinks I'll never
Love another no matter how hard I try

'Cause every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry
Lord every night I sleep like a little bitty baby
I wake up every hour and cry
I wake up every hour and cry

CRYIN' TIME 

(Both)
Oh, it's crying 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,
Darlingm that it won't be long before it's crying time.

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

(Both)
Oh, it's crying 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,
Darlingm that it won't be long before it's crying time.

(Tammy)
Now you say 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
Crying time will start when you walk out the door.

(Both)
Oh, it's crying 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,
Darlingm that it won't be long before it's crying time.

No, it won't be long before it's crying time...

CUP OF LONELINESS 

I see Christian pilgrims so redeemed from sin
Called out of darkness a new life to begin
Were you ever in the valley when the way is dark and dim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with Him

Did you ever have them laugh at you and say it was a fake
The stand that you so boldly for the Lord did take
Did they ever mock at you and laugh in ways quite grim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with Him

Did you ever try to preach then hold fast and pray
And even when you did it there did not seem a way
And you lost all courage then lost all your vim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him

Oh my friends 'tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod
To follow in the footsteps that our dear Savior trod
To suffer with the Savior and when the way is dark and dim
To drink of the bitter cup of loneliness with Him
