You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway If you had just looked once or twice And gone upon your quiet way Today I said the time was right for me to follow you I knew I'd find you in a day or two And it's true You came upon a quiet day You simply seemed to take your place I knew that it would be that way The minute that I saw your face And when we've had a few more days (when we've had a few more days) I wonder if I'll get to say (wonder if I'll get to say) You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice) I would have liked you anyway (would have liked) Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (today said that the time was right to follow you) I knew I'd find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find you in a day or two) And it's true You didn't have to be so nice (didn't have to be so nice) I would have liked you anyway (would have liked you anyway) If you had just looked once or twice (once or twice) And gone upon your quiet way (quiet way) |

Every time I see that Greyhound Bus go rollin’ down the line,
Makes me wish I talked much more to you When we had all that time. Still, it’s only wishin’ and I know it’s nothing more, so I’m Never going back, never going back, never going back, Ah, to Nashville anymore. Oklahoma City, yes I know that she won’t treat me cruel. Denver Colorado never made me feel like such a fool. These are only cities, but they’re cities without you. So I’m Never going back, never going back, never going back, Ah, to Nashville anymore. Still, it’s only wishin’ and I know it’s nothing more, so I’m Never going back, never going back, never going back, Ah, to Nashville (Nashville) anymore. Every time I see that Greyhound Bus go rollin’ down the line, (Never going back.) Kinda makes me wish I talked much more to you When we had all that time. (Never going back.) Oklahoma City, yes I know that she won’t treat me cruel. (Never going back.) |

[Chorus]
Nashville cats, play clean as country water Nashville cats, play wild as mountain dew Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies Nashville cats, get work before they're two Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville And they can pick more notes than the number of ants On a Tennessee ant hill Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar cases in Nashville And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play Twice as better than I will Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a Musical proverbial knee-high When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes And they blasted me sky-high And the record man said every one is a yellow sun Record from Nashville And up north there ain't nobody buys them And I said, "But I Will" And it was [Chorus] Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one Mothers from Nashville All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight If one of the kids will Because it's custom made for any mothers son To be a guitar picker in Nashville And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about The music and the mothers from Nashville [Chorus] Kick it |

I bet your life, your lovin'wife. Can catch more fish than you. Any fish bite if you've got good bait. Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate. Any fish bite, you've got good bait. I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin', I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too. Looked down the river about one o'clock. Spied this catfish swimmin' around. I've got so hungry, didn't know what to do.

I was down in Savannah
Eatn' Cream and Bannanas When the heat just made me faint I began to get crosseyed I thought I was lost I'd begun to see things as they ain't. As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter The doctor came to see was I fine. But the doctor said give him jug band music, It seems to make him feel just fine. I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail L.A. put cowboy with a headache He was hung up in the desert swappin' rats And tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees gettin' mud caked And I'll tell you and exceptance how he stumbled into Memphis Tenassee Lookin' hard and gettin' dust baked. We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine he opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine And the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine So if you ever get sickly get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf and pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord and do a little do it yourself. call on your neighbors to put down their labors and come and play the hardware in time cause the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine I was floatin' in the ocean greased withsuntan lotion when i got wiped out by a beach boy he was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me and he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toy as we staggerd into land with all the waitors eatn' sandwitches we tried to mooch a towel from the hoi poloi he emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine and everybody knows that the very last line is the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine and the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine. |

She's one of those girls,
Who seems to come in the spring. One look in her eyes, And you forget everything, You had ready to say. And I saw her today, yeah. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. I remember her eyes, Soft dark and brown. Said she'd never been in trouble, Even in town A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. And should I hang around, Acting like her brother? In a few more years, They'd call us right for each other. And why, If I wait I'll just die, yeah. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. I remember her eyes, Soft dark and brown. Said she'd never been in trouble, Even in town A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. She's one of those girls, Who seems to come in the spring. One look in her eyes, And you forget everything, You had ready to say |

The full measure of your giving
You don't yet understand. A cupful of living That you hold in your hand. The full weight of your loving Makes me lighter than air. The tax I'm receiving, Now I know that it never was there. It started off just sticking around With that wonderful feeling from you. Now there's finally someone telling me I can really give, too. I know you know the feeling That getting something for nothing is wrong. Getting love is so easy, Giving love takes so long. It started off just stickin' around With that wonderful feeling from you. Now there's finally someone telling me I can really give, too. I've heard them saying at Christmas, Now I can say it to you: The feeling of giving It's as good as im getting from you, It's as good as im getting from you, It's as good as im getting from you, It's as good as I'm getting from you. |

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to break your heart Didn't wanna have to do it I kept a-hopin' from the very start But you kept on a-tryin' And I knew that you'd end up a-cryin' And I knew I didn't wanna have to do it at all Didn't wanna have to do it Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it Didn't wanna have to do it I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again Yeah, but then No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end" Was a time that I thought our love could fly and never never fall Why should I suppose we were never really meant to be close to each other at all No, I... Didn't wanna have to do it Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it Didn't wanna have to do it I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again Yeah, but then No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end" No no, not the end, no no no |

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Pick up on one and leave the other one behind It's not often easy, and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind? Did you ever have to finally decide? Say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes, and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide? Sometimes there's one with deep blue eyes, cute as a bunny With hair down to here, and plenty of money And just when you think she's that one in the world Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl And then you know you better make up your mind Pick up on one and leave the other one behind It's not often easy, and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind? Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you in line And says "Better go home, son, and make up your mind" Then you bet you'd better finally decide! And say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes, and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide? |

Intro:
There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock And the dusky light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock Six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 1: A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights disappeared And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front At six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 2: I went home and found that time to sleep was rare Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care I got up and got scufflin' around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound At six o'clock, six o'clock Bridge: If I go back where we parted Could I ever feel like that again Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then Verse 3: Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock, six o'clock Coda: Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone [repeat to fade] |

What a day for a day dream,
What a day for a day dreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a day dream, Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side, It's one of those days for taking a walk outside. I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun, And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn. I've been havin' a sweet dream, I've been dreamin' since I woke up today, It's starring me in my sweet dream, 'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way, And even if time is passin' me by a lot, I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got. Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load. A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad. And you can be sure that if you're feelin right A day dream will last a long time into the night. Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears, Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years. |

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city |
