Tammy Wynette

I've never seen the inside of a bar room
Or listened to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home
I've heard it said: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me.

Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad.

I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact, you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life.

Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad.

Oh Yeah Your good girl's gonna go bad.

I can hear the rain, it's falling softly,
As I watch him lying next to me.
I can feel his heart, its beating softly:
He just loved me, so tenderly,
But it should be......
You and me.
When he touches me, I feel your fingers.
And each time we kiss, I see your face.
When he locks the door behind us,
Then he thinks the world can't find us,
But he can't see, no, he can't see,
That it should be......
You and me.
So I'll just close my eyes and dream about you,
'Cos everytime I dream you're always there.
Then you'll lock the door behind us,
And in my dreams the world can't find us.
And it will be, so real to me.
It's finally......
You and me.

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly
Why did he have to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday I believe in yesterday

if you think you got your man in the palm of your hand
you better listen mmmmm
and if you think you've got it made and his love will never fade
you better listen

she's out there too
and she's a whole lot better lookin than me and you
and she can do things to a man
you never dreamed a woman can do

if you think you keep your man with a golden weddin band
you better listen
and if your sittin there at home thinkin how good you turn him on
you better listen

she's sweet when she talks and she bounces all over when she walks
and shse's forgot more about a man then your sweet mama ever told
you
i'm talkin to you woman to woman
heart to heart
i'm singin straight to you
just woman to woman
right from my heart
and you can take it or leave it
oh but it's true
woman to woman
from me to you

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(T.W.)
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find

But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us
Makes it grow

(G.J.)
Some love lives
And some love don't
We've got the kind
Of love we want

It brings us happiness
All through the day
And nothin' can ever make
It go away

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(both)
Time will tell
If you're right or wrong
We know we're right
By holdin' on

And the future is set for you and me
Filled with love
The way we both want it to be

(both)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold (we're gonna) on
FADES-
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old...

All my friends told me we'd never make it;
That love, to you, was just a game you played.
And I'll admit at times we had rough goin',
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
And I've been told my love could never hold you;
To tie it down's a price you'd never pay.
And I'll admit there's times when you got restless,
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
Step by step we walked the road together.
Hand in hand, love grew more everyday
When trouble came we held on to each other,
And in each other's arms we loved it away.
And in each other's arms we loved it away.

If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say

We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right

Walk through this world with me go where I go

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
My door to love has opened up more times than in
I'm either fool or wise enough to open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond that mountain till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
If practice makes perfect then I'm near bout as perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right

I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
My door to love has opened up more times than in
I'm either fool or wise enough to open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond that mountain till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
If practice makes perfect then I'm near bout as perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right

I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice that's softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
[ steel ]
As my mem'ry turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this cold heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living...

As they gently walk acro-oss a lonely floor
And a voice that's so-oftly saying
Darling this will be goodby-ye for evermore

There goes my reason for li-ivi-ing
There goes the one of my-y drea-eams
There goes my only posse-ession
There goes my everything

As my memory turns back the pa-ages
I can see the happy year-ears we had before

Do you take this man to be your husband?

I'll take this man, and by him I'll stand
I promise that we'll never part.
To him I'll be true, there'll be no one new
From now, till death do us part.

Do you take this woman to be your wife?

Yes, I'll take this woman. She'll be mine forever.
And I'll love her with all of my heart.
To have and to hold, our love won't grow cold.
I promise. Till death do us part.

We'll take each other, from this day forward,
Together in sickness or health.
United with love, we'll face life together,
If we're poor or if we have wealth.

For better or worse, you'll always come first
And no one can keep us apart.
Yes, we'll take each other, forsaking all others.
Together, till death do us part.

Together, till death do us part.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me

Wondering where the hours go
Catching up on TV shows
It's not easy, heaven knows
When you're starting over

Knowing that the phone won't ring
Back to being lonely me
Funny how I seem to be
Always starting over

Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been starting over

So just win, the hurt is through
I'll see a face across a room
And wonder if it's still too soon
To be starting over

But like a fool I'll give my heart
Then the same old thing will start
I'll watch it slowly fall apart
Then I'll be starting over

Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been, always starting over

Sometimes

[Tammy Wynette - T.W.]
[George Jones - G.J]

[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.

Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
Without fail everyday since you went away
The doorbell rings you're sending roses again
In my room all petals fall but darling that's not all
I read your card then a million tears began
Though the love we once knew still lives inside of you
The one who holds you now won't set you free
To see me you don't dare but roses say you care
Tell her goodbye then please return to me
But send me no roses please no more roses
Roses are red I know but to my tears they look blue
Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you

Today's the day you're telling him that he's got to set you free.
And that being one man's woman brings you down.
But before you throw away what you think you don't want today,
Don't give it up for the new life that you've found.

Run, woman, run,
Go back to him and fix things up the very best you can.
Tell him you missed him while you were gone,
Run, woman, run back to your man.


You're a young girl, so understand it's so hard to find a man,
Who comes home every night to only you.
You may not find true love again so go home while you still can,
And find a way to work it out with your man.

Run, woman, run,
Go back to him and fix things up the very best you can.
Tell him you missed him while you were gone,
Run, woman, run back to your man.

Run, woman, run back to your man.

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the backdoor y'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
And now Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night
I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me child what's happened to your apetite
Well I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
One year has come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo
There was virus goin' round papa caught it and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Chotaw Wridge
And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
near you - near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

There's just one place for me
Near you

It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart

Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you

I'd be more than content
Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

near you - near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you

Spend the rest of my days
Near you

My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand and
I like it ,I like it.
He's a dream, the real thing ,he always makes me feel like a queen
and I love it, I love it.
His arms, are warm, they keep me away from harm and I'm proud of it ,so proud of it.
He's mine, he's fine, he makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time.

He's got what I want,when I want it ,he's got what I need,when I need it,
I'd fight a million, just to keep it,Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me

How I hate, to sit and wait ,when I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it, can't stand it.
But when, he walks in ,and I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it ,I.... forget it.
His touch, is too much, he knows how to love me just enough
and I love him, I love him.
My man, understands ,he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.

He's got what I want ,when I want it,He got what I need, when I need it, I'd fight a million, just to keep it. Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.
My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time,
Yeah I wanna keep it like this all the time.

My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand and
I like it ,I like it.
He's a dream, the real thing ,he always makes me feel like a queen
and I love it, I love it.
His arms, are warm, they keep me away from harm and I'm proud of it ,so proud of it.
He's mine, he's fine, he makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time.

He's got what I want,when I want it ,he's got what I need,when I need it,
I'd fight a million, just to keep it,Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me

How I hate, to sit and wait ,when I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it, can't stand it.
But when, he walks in ,and I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it ,I.... forget it.
His touch, is too much, he knows how to love me just enough
and I love him, I love him.
My man, understands ,he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.

He's got what I want ,when I want it,He got what I need, when I need it, I'd fight a million, just to keep it. Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.
My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time,
Yeah I wanna keep it like this all the time.

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome
The late show's gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share and your thoughts are far from home
But when the lights on Broadway go off and every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home I'll wait here patiently
The lights to my love never go off and the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
My arms stay open late so you'll come home

The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome
The late show's gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share and your thoughts are far from home
But when the lights on Broadway go off and every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home I'll wait here patiently
The lights to my love never go off and the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
My arms stay open late so you'll come home

Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make this life worth live again
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change these sad and blue days only you can make them I-love-you days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change...

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Last night dressed up in high heel shoes and wearing my old hat
My four-year-old said I wanna divorce now where did she hear that

Kids say the darndest things...
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Last night as I watched TV one rushed through the door
Mommy daddy's telling someone on the phone don't you call me here no more

Kids say the darndest things...
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Bet my daddy can whip your daddy but daddy's never home
And I think mommy's worried bout him cause she cried all night long

Kids say the darndest things...
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
You never know what they learn at school or what they're thinking of
My first grader just said a four letter word and it sure wasn't love

Kids say the darndest things...
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Kids say the darndest things...
