SOMEDAY MY DAY WILL COME 

Someday my day will come
And I won't need a thing at all
Yes, I can stand proud and tall
And say just what I feel.

Someday my day will come
When dreams become reality
I'll be the one I want to be
Someday my day will come.

It's a tiring path we travel through
For each step I take Lord I'm set back two
We all have roles in life to play
And I'll play a great one someday.

Someday my day will come
I'll hold true love right in my hand
I'll touch the pretty rainbow's end
And my cup will overflow.

Someday my day will come
I'll watch my ship as it comes in
My castles won't be made of sand
Someday my day will come.

I'll hold true love right in my hand
Someday my day will come...

SOMEONE'S WATCHING OVER YOU 

(Someone who's watching over you tonight)
If you do your best to do what's right
And you don't have trouble sleeping at night
And the devil don't fill your soul with cry
And there's someone who's watching over you tonight
If you lend the hand to every man
And you treat him like he's your friend
And your conscience tells you you've done what's right
Then there's someone who's watching over you tonight
Yes friends you know he'll watch over you
As you rest your very weary head
And the angels will always be standing there
Yes right there when you'll be dead
So if you do your best to do what's right
And you don't have trouble sleeping at night
And the devil don't fill your soul with cry
And there's someone who's watching someone who's watching
Someone who's watching over you tonight

SOMETHING I DREAMED 

Forgive me if I'm pesimistic today
But I seem to feel our love slipping away
I have no special reason for feeling this way
It must have been something I dreamed.

Darling hold me close and chase away the ghost that tortures me so
Kiss away my doubts until my poor heart shouts that you'll never go
This feeling's not your fault you're sweet as can be
I have faith in you I just like faith in me
I'm afraid that I'll lose you then worried I'll be be
Please let it be something I dreamed.

Your words like conviction or do you suppose
That I love you too much and I listen too close
I know I'm too jealous and sometime it shows
So it must have been something I dreamed.

Darling hold me close and chase away the ghost that tortures me so
Kiss away my doubts until my poor heart shouts that you'll never go
This feeling's not your fault you're sweet as can be
I have faith in you I just like faith in me
I'm afraid that I'll lose you then worried I'll be be
Please let it be something I dreamed...

SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT 

(G.J.)
I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator

I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

(T.W.)
I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street

I wear a swingin' mini dress
That I made for myself
>From mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets

I've got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoes

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

When you're with the fellas, I know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes

(G.J.)
Tell 'em
You tell your girlfriends 'bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that
Money can't buy

(both)
So let's lget married
In the not-to-distant future
We'll rent a little flat
On 29th street

You know we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat

We won't have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true

(G.J.)
Love has, somethin' to brag about
(T.W.)
Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about
(both)
Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T WIN 

Just when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again
Then the clouds fill the sky's
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win.

My love never meant much to you dear
Or yo you I was always a friend
Oh, why did I call,
You have no heart at all
Sometimes you just can't win.

--- Instrumental ---

I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
I know I should't care
But sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win

And then when the sunshines the brightest
And the world looks alright, again
The clouds fill the sky's
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win...

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 

(G.J.)
You always said someday you'd go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me

(T. W.)
It's not that I don't love you
But I hear the call
(From Southern California)
There's something I can't find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California

Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free

(G.J.)
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
(To Southern California)
But just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

(T.W.) speaks:
Well, it's been five years
N' I guess I've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee?

(G.J.) spoken:
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see

Oh, I guess by now she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

(both)
But the weather's good
In Southern California.

SPARKLING BROWN EYES 

There's a ramshackle shack
In old Caroline
It's callin' me back
To the girl of mine
Those two brown eyes
I'm longin' to see
Oh, the girl of my dreams
She will always be

Those two brown eyes
That sparkle with love
Came down to me
From heaven above
If I could fly
Like a beautiful dove
I'd fly to the arms
Of the one that I love

(Repeat last verse)

STAND ON MY OWN TWO KNEES 

I've tried everything I know to make you happy
Never knew someone could be so hard to please
Loving you is hard and I'm not sure I'll make it
But at least I've learned how to stand on my own two
knees.

I've still got my pride it's just that I misplaced it
Anyway it's better lost that no one sees
Maybe I'm not strong enough, right now, to hold you
But at least I've learned how to stand on my own two
knees.

It wasn't long ago you had me crawlin'
Oh, but look how far I've come, can't you see
Well, I know I'm still not walking tall but I'm trying
And at least I've learned how to stand on my own two
knees.

Yes, I know I'm still not walking tall but I'm trying
And at least I've learned how to stand on my own two
knees...

STEEL GUITAR RAG 

Been runnin' around, seen many a town,
and maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags.
But listen to me and see if you don't agree
No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag

And when they slide that thing, along those strings
It soubds so dogone heavenly, you can hear the Angels sing
And when you stomp your feet, your heart will beat,
A rhythm to the old steel guitsr rag

Break or bridge:
You may be kind choosy, 'bout the kind of songs you hear,
You maybe like them blusey, makes you cry right in your beer,
But if you want a song that's bound to dry away your tears,
Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag.

STILL DOIN' TIME 

Has it been a year since the last time I've seen her my God I could swear it was ten
 And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
 I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell still payin' for my cheatin' crime
 And I got a long way to go still doin' time
 Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison still doin' time where a man ain't forgiven
 My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
 Each morning I wake up and I find still doin' time
 [ guitar + steel ]
 When you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
 In a place where the sun never shines
 And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here still doin' time
 Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison...
