Loretta Lynn Album

I've been travelin' down the country ever since I can remember
And the people that I meet just suit me fine
But anywhere you see me going chances are that I've done been there
So when I need a little peace of mind.

I go home, home where the mockingbirds
Are singin' a pretty melody
Home, home where nothing short of heaven's
Waiting there for me.

--- Instrumental ---

Picture the morning sun, a white rail fence and watch the
meadow glisten
There's a newborn baby calf down in the barn
Have you morning cup of coffee in the country air oh listen
It's a hundred million miles away from harm.

I go home, home where the mockingbirds
Are singin' a pretty melody
Home, home where nothing short of heaven's
Waiting there for me.

Where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me...

If she brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

Though it hurts to let you go darling I want you to know
Then I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that she made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cried
And if he ever leaves you blue
Ah, just remember I love you.

And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls...

(George Jones)

I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering
And the storm will wreck our home.

For last night she hugged you tightly
And you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching
From the window up above.

You must have thought that I was sleeping
Oh Lord, I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you
And the way your heart can sin.

I thought we belonged together
nd our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching
From the window up above,

--- Instrumental ---

From my eyes the teardrops started
As I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly
That our marriage was all wrong.

But I hope she makes you happy
and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching
From the window up above.

How I wished I could be dreaming
Wake up to the love that's true
But I can't for I was watching
From the window up above...

(Larry Butler - Chips Moman)

So hey, won't you play
Another somebody done somebody wrong, song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby.

So please play for me, a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone.

So hey, won't you play
Another somebody done somebody wrong, song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby.

--- Instrumental ---

So please play for me, a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone.

So hey, won't you play
Another somebody done somebody wrong, song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby...

(Jimmy Peppers)

I know we shouldn't be here together
Doin' the things we do
But I can't help the way I feel
I've just got to be with you.

When our bodies touch each other
There's a feeling I can't fight
And you take me to heaven
Every night.

You smile and whisper, I want you
And we're makin' love again
By the way we call each other
And it seems we're more than friends.

I tremble while we're lovin'
Oh Lord. I hold on tight
And you take me to heaven
Every night.

It's so easy to see while you're lovin' me
You're turnin' up to blame
I won't another man touch me
I know it wouldn't be the same.

So baby, Lock the door
Walk to the bed
And then turn out the light.
And take me to heaven again tonight

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, take me to heaven again tonight...

(Allen Reynolds)

I can't seem to learn not to love you
You get to me every time
You're someone I just can't say no to
You're so good at changin' my mind.

Here I go down that wrong road again
Goin' back where I've already been
Even knowing where it will end
Here I go down that wrong road again.

--- Instrumental ---

Though I see the web that you're weavin'
You and your soft easy line
Before I stop to think I'm believin'
And I'm fallin' for you one more time.

Here I go down that wrong road again
Goin' back where I've already been
Even knowing where it will end
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Here I go down that wrong road again
Goin' back where I've already been
Even knowing where it will end
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Here I go down that wrong road again
Goin' back where I've already been
Even knowing where it will end
Here I go down that wrong road again...

Always wanting you but never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you, again
Always loving you, ah, but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

I'd been better off if I turned away
And never looked at you the second time
'Cause I really had my life
All together till your eyes met mine.

And there I saw your yearning and the feeling
Across the room that you felt for me
Wish I'd had a way of knowin'
That the things we had in mind could never be.

Always wanting you but never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you, again
Always loving you, ah, but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

--- Instrumental ---

Always loving you, ah, but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand...

(Shel Silverstein)

The sun goes down and you come around with evening
Saying that you love ah but I know
That it really isn't tenderness you're feelin'
You're here cause you've got no place else to go.

You'll ask how I've been doin' and you'll smile that same old smile
You'll touch my cheek and turn the lights down low
We'll kiss and I'll forget for just a while
That you're here cause you've got no place else to go.

Ah, no place else to go
And no place else to be
No one else to take you in
But good old easy me.

When morning comes I tell myself I'll never
Do this again but deep iseide I know
I'm here because I'm bound to you forever
And you're here 'cause you've got no place else to go.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm here because I'm bound to you forever
And you're here 'cause you've got no place else to go...

(Billy Deaton - Faron Young)

In the eyes of the world
He's only an ordinary man
But there's a million and one things
the eyes of the world never see
He may walk the same he may talk the same
As a million others do.

You'd see him as I do
If his heart had eyes for you
He's only everything
Only everything.

He's as real as the thrill I feel
When he walks through my dreams
He's the one I hold
When my world grows cold.

And needs a touch of spring
Or a song to sing
Yes, in these eyes of mine
Lord, he's only everything.

--- Instrumental ---

He's as real as the thrill I feel
When he walks through my dreams
He's the one I hold
When my world grows cold.

And needs a touch of spring
Or a song to sing
Yes, in these eyes of mine
Lord, he's only everything.

Yes, in these eyes of mine
Lord, he's only everything...

Today is payday and the night will be long
Don't sit at the bar till all your money is gone
The baby get hungry when you drink too long
So remember bring some of it home.

Honey, you know I'm jealous 'cause you're all my man
I know you get restless but I understand
Ah, but darlin'. I'm as precious so before they're not gone
Think of me and bring some of it home.

--- Instrumental ---

Tonight when the barmate sits down on your knees
I know that it's easy to say that you're free
When your love apetite starts coming on strong
Don't forget me bring some of it home.

Honey you know I'm jealous 'cause you're all my man
I know you get restless but I understand
Ah, but darlin'. I'm as precious so before they're not gone
Think of me and bring some of it home.

I need lovin' and bring some of it home...
