With the alarm clock ting-a-ling ringin' in my head
I woke up dog tired, beat down, half dead
Tryin' to recover from another wild weekend
Chuggin' down coffee while I should have been sleepin'

Well it sure is Monday idn't it now
I gotta myself through the week somehow
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday

Oh, I got to the job site at a quarter past nine
And somehow I stayed awake till lunch time
And then I caught a little nap, stretched out in my truck bed
My feet still twitchin' to the music in my head

Well it sure is Monday, ain't it the truth
I partied too hardy, now I'm payin' my dues
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday

Well it sure is Monday, ain't it a sin
I gotta work my way through the week again
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday
Yeah, it's all over now and it sure is Monday.

Woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

Step by step you taught me easy loving
Night by night you caught me in your web
My self control was overruled by passion
Now, I couldn't see the heartache up ahead.

So woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
I say woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

--- Instrumental ---

Someone true is waiting and I should be with her
And she don't know I crave your ecstasy
But many hearts would break if I don't conquer
This lustful spell you've cast all over me.

So woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

Release my body and let me live again...

There was rain on the street last night
We stood beneath the front door light
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard
You called me this, I called you that
Standing on the welcome mat
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it

CHORUS:
You know I tried my best to go
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye

Now there was sun through the blinds this morning
When I opened up my eyes
Outside I could hear a mockingbird
And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side
I thought of how the world could end with just one word
But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it

CHORUS

Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken
You know I tried my best to go
And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was
Almost goodbye, oh oh
Almost goodbye.

Are you alone---can you talk to an old friend
Right or wrong---I had to hear your voice again
Unwritten law, protocol
Says to leave the past alone

Chorus
I just wanted you to know
Sometimes driving home at night
I let your memory take control
And you抮e sitting by my side
I turn up the radio
And cruise down old route 59
And girl it抯 solid gold, well, I抣l let you go
I just wanted you to know

Through the vine---I heard your life has turned out well
As for mine---you know it抯 really hard to tell
�?ause now and then what might have been
Interferes with what might be

Repeat Chorus

Please don抰 cry, I抣l say goodbye
And I wont call you anymore

Repeat Chorus

It's early May and the summer heat is coming down
April's gone and my heart is nowhere to be found
Teardrops fall like showers from the sky
What I'd give just to look in April's eyes.

Another year goes by but I'll wait for her return
She leaves a chill in my soul but a fire always burns
Now she can't break the tie that binds and I'll never make her choose
So I'll just go on being April's fool.

So little time when she is mine, I know
So I'll hold her close and never let it show
If I could only make her stay, God knows I would
As she turns and walks away
I know I'll always remain April's fool.

--- Instrumental ---

As she turns and walks away
I know I'll always remain April's fool.

It's early may and the summer heat is coming down...

(Ronnie Rogers, Mark Wright, Joe Johnston)

Lucky me I grew up beneath that ole lone star
I was raised on fiddle and the steel guitar
Well it used to be if you wanted to swing to a good ole country song
You had to sing your way to Ft. Worth, Houston, Dallas, San Antone
But oh how it's grown

Chorus
Texas is bigger than it used to be
Coast to coast it's alive in most
Every town and city
I should know I'm on the road
And lovin' what I see
Texas is bigger than it used to be

It's one, two, three step dancin' in the line
Stretchin' that denim having a good time
My daddy told me years ago - he said son there'll come a day
When it'll spread to Minnesota, New York City to LA
It's happening just that way

. . .


My heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.

I was heart broke and feelin' down
Billy Joe said let's go to town
He said, "An ounce of cure
Is worth a pound of prevention."
He said, "I know a little waterin' hole
Where the band is hot and the beer is cold
There's more woman there
Than at a Tupperware convention."

My heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.

--- Instrumental ---

I aint ready for another love
Billy Joe's trying to fix me up
He's a friend to the end
He's a man on a mission.
He just punched me in the side
Said did you see what just walked by
She had a million dollar smile
And a body in mint condition.

But my heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.
My heart's too broke to pay attention...

Spinnin' those curlers round all day
Her little beauty shop provides a way
To work at home and sleep in late
So she can dance the night away.

Pilot gotta fly, eagle gotta soar
Give a baby candy, gotta give it more
Cowboy gotta ride, gambler gotta chance
Vickie Vance gotta dance,
Yeah, Vickie Vance gotta dance

--- Instrumental ---

She can be dancin' to nothin' at all
And she does a mean swing with the shadows on the wall
Yeah, and I bet she's done the two-step a million times
Yeah, she drives all the boys on the dance floor wild.

Pilot gotta fly, eagle gotta soar
Give a baby candy, gotta give it more
Cowboy gotta ride, gambler gotta chance
Vickie Vance gotta dance,
Yeah, Vickie Vance gotta dance.

Oooh, she can't stand still
Yeah, she's dancin' off the wall
Dancin' on the window sill.

--- Instrumental ---

Pilot gotta fly, eagle gotta soar
Give a baby candy, gotta give it more
Cowboy gotta ride, gambler gotta chance
Vickie Vance gotta dance,
Yeah, Vickie Vance gotta dance.
Yeah, Vickie Vance gotta dance...

--- Instrumental to fade ---

(Gene Dobbins, Glenn Ray, Tim Mensy)

See the lines in my face, there's one for everyday
I've lived without you and held you only in my mind
See these hands, how they shake, how long it will take
Before I leave you in the past where you belong
One day I might forget, but right now I'm not that strong
So I'll hold on ‘til a better memory comes along
If someone could really touch me
The way you used to do
If she could find one single feelin'
That didn't start with me and you
Maybe then I might forget, but right now I'm not that strong
So I'll hold on ‘til a better memory comes along
Maybe then I might forget, but right now I'm not that strong
So I'll hold on ‘til a better memory comes along
I'm holding on,‘til a better memory comes along

We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will
Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids
Then he opened up the papers and my father's words were read
You could've heard a pin drop when we heard the things he said.

To all my loving family I leave this old house
Just split up all the money and pass it all around
But now that that's all settled and it's all said and done
Here's a few things that I'll leave with each and every one.

(Spoken)
To the boys I leave the family name, the honesty and pride
And to both my precious girls I leave a million lullabies
(Sang)
Sing them to your children and let them know you care
(Spoken)
Take what strength I gave to you and be patient, kind and fair

To all I leave undying love let no one shed a tear
'Cause I was the luckiest man on earth in the time that I was here
And finally to mother, who's love was ever true
(Sang)
The greatest gift a man can give I leave my heart to you.

We all just kind of sat there not knowing what to say
Then mama looked at all of us and said I'd like to pray
So right there in that office in words so soft and still
We all swore that we'd honor the things in daddy's will...
