You Never Even Called Me By My Name Composer(s): Steve Goodman Performer(s): David Allan Coe & Johnny Paycheck; The Countdown Singers
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin' Sometimes it seems so useless to remain You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even call me by my name
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore Even though your on my fightin' side
Chorus And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even call me by my name
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book I've seen it on signs where I've laid But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe Is when Jesus has his final judgement day
Chorus...
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country and western song I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect country and western song because he hadn't said anything about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison. And I went to pick her up in the rain. But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got runned over by a damned old train
Chorus So I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain No You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me Why don't you ever call me by my name
Sunday Driving Composer(s): Pober Performer(s): Jerry Lewis
Ahhh, look out where you're goin' Stop that
Sunday driving, Sunday driving Through a million cars I'm diving No escaping, fenders scraping Less you hit a tree
Sunday driving, Sunday driving There's an ambulance arriving A collision in my vision Maybe it was me
A lady driver signals left And then she makes a right I hit her in the rumble seat That isn't too polite!
She screams, "You beast; you awful thing! Where do you think you're going?" And I answer, "Don't look now dear But your rumble seat is showing"
Sunday driving, Sunday driving For a peaceful day I'm striving But each Sunday is the one day Cars are everywhere
Oh boy, here it is Sunday morning and I'm out drivin' in my car And it's so peaceful and quiet The Sun is shinin', the boids is choipin' Oh-oh, there goes a pedestrian Shucks, I missed 'im Ha-ha, I think I'll go 'round the block and try again Gee whiz, I must be out in the country now I'm not hittin' so many people I am out in the country I just hit a cow (baa!) This is a cow?
A car goes by me like a flash He can't do that to me I'll chase him and I'll show 'im I can go as fast as he
And sure enough I pass 'im Like a rabbit in a thicket And I learn it's a patrol car When he writes me out a ticket
...I musta made a boo-boo
Sunday driving, Sunday driving Up the steepest hill I'm striving I'm not quitting till I'm sitting On the very top
I made it Now I'm goin' down Boy, what a view And look at the cliff at the bottom of the road If I ever went over that Ha-ha, impossible! Not in my car What was that? The motor's broke Gee, I better stop The brakes don't work The Brakes Don't Work? I'm goin' fifty miles an hour downhill Now I'm goin' sixty Now it's seventy My motor don't work, my brakes don't work, but I'm not worried AAhhh, my speedometer works I'm goin' faster and faster And now I'm goin' over the cliff......
Gee, I'm flyin' And in my car But cars don't fly! I'll crash and be killed and boy, will Dad give it to me for takin' the car He'll get me in the back room of the house and he'll give me what for! He'll say the conjunctive mood of the people stealing certainly don't designate the fact that other young men know better than others and I certainly don't know the feeling if I don't know why everything...
You Never Done It Like That Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Captain & Tennille
You're so terrific Ooooh you never done it like that You've never been this way before To be specific Ooooh you never done it like that Who went and opened up the door? My lips are burnin' Yeah, you never done it like that I thought the flame was dead and gone But you've been learnin' Yeah you never done it like that How long has this been goin' on?
Ooooh, ooooh, who's been teachin' you? Show me the man and let me shake his hand Hey look at me, I feel just like Columbus I did discover you're some kind of lover
My mind is blowin' Ooooh you never done it like that You got me climbin' up the wall My love is growin' Yeah, you never done it like that You know you made me ten feet tall
Ooh what you're doin' Ooh what you're doin' Ooh what you're doin' You never done it You never done it You never done it like that
Ooh what you're doin' Ooh what you're doin' Ooh what you're doin' You never done it You never done it You never done it like that

Sunday Blues Composer(s): Joe Lutcher Performer(s): Julie London
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more I ain't gonna walk that lonesome, tear-stained floor I never knew much about love 'til you walked into my heart I wasn't happy without love - but at least I wasn't torn apart
On Saturday night you swear you're mine alone Then Sunday arrives, and you don't even phone I know you're gonna come knockin' But I ain't gonna answer the door I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more
I know you're gonna come knockin' But I ain't gonna answer the door I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more No more
You Never Cry Like A Lover Composer(s): Don Henley; John David Souther Performer(s): The Eagles; The 5th Dimension
You never cry like a lover should sigh when it feels real good or see the sky through the stone and wood You never cry like a lover
I thought I saw somebody I loved sleeping deep inside you If I could catch you in an unguarded moment I'd stay right there beside you
You never smile at me late at night Laugh out loud when we get it right You can't get loose if there's too much light You never smile like a lover
TRY A LITTLE HARDER I can't live with you, baby TRY A LITTLE HARDER Can't live without you TRY A LITTLE HARDER And sometimes I believe in love sometimes I doubt it
But your life goes on like a broken down carousel where somebody left the music on I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one
You never move like you used to do pour it out when you're feelin' blue Somebody must have put some pain in you you never cry like a lover you never cry like a lover YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry CRY LIKE A LOVER come on and cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry CRY LIKE A LOVER cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry cry CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry (fade)
Sunday Bloody Sunday Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen First release by: U2 - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, how long must we sing this song How long, how long
'Cause tonight We can be as one tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead-end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart
You Needed Me Composer(s): Randy Goodrum Performer(s): Anne Murray
I cried a tear You wiped it dry I was confused You cleared my mind I sold my soul You bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave I'd be a fool 'Cause I've finally found someone Who really cares
You held my hand When it was cold When I was lost You took me home You gave me hope When I was at the end And turned my lies Back into truth again You even called me friend
You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me
Sunday And Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Jay & the Americans
Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to? Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity
There was a time when the world was fickle And it may have been hard to succeed Well, times have changed now And school and training is what you really need It doesn't matter who you may be Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
Life's got problems, but you can make it And I'm gonna tell you why Just like the early bird that catches the worm You gotta get up, go out and try Your race or color won't stand in your way Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found But they won't come to you, uh uh! You gotta get up and look around!
It doesn't matter who you may be Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?) Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips; Butanes Soul Revue; The Jackson 5; Tom Jones; Clydie King; Heather Small; The Temptations
Well, well, well, well Seems like it was only yesterday When my mama told me don't fall in love With the first guy that comes your way He was handsome and nice But I took her advice and passed him by Years have passed and don't look Like love's gonna give me a second try Boy the look on your face tells me you understand could it be your love life's like mine Needs a helping hand well, well You need love like I do (don't you)
Boy I can tell by the way You look when I'm looking at you I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way But I can't cope with this loneliness Not one more doggone day Everyday has been an uphill climb Keeping my hopes a-float Judging from your silence boy You must be in the same boat ain't it true now You need love like I do (don't you) Boy I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Well, well, well you need love Like I do (don't you)

You Need Hands Composer(s): Roy Irwin Performer(s): Eydie Gorme; Max Bygraves; Chad & Jeremy; The Sex Pistols
You need hands To hold someone you care for You need hands To show that you're sincere When you feel nobody wants to know you You need hands to brush away your tears
When you hold a brand new baby You need tender hands to guide them on their way You need hands to thank the Lord for living and for giving us this day

But after pay day, is my fun day I shine all day Sunday That one day when I'm with you
That one day It's a fun day Sunday is my day with you

I knew the stakes were high right from the start When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart Now I just found a game that I can't play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done It's time to say goodbye to yesterday This is where the cowboy rides away
We've been in and out of love and in-between And now we play the final showdown scene As the credits roll a sad song starts to play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like a setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say And this is where the cowboy rides away Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say This is where the cowboy rides away
You Move Me Composer(s): Cassandra Wilson Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson
Rememberin' moments, so precious and real The thought of you, kissing me there You know my secrets You know the curve and the line One touch, and I know you are mine

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? Composer(s): Robert Lamm Performer(s): Chicago Transit Authority
As I was walking down the street one day A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock, oh, so I just don't know I just don't know And I said, yes I said
People runnin' everywhere Don't know the way to go Don't know where I am Can't see past the next step Don't have to think past the last mile Have no time to look around Just run around, run around and think why
Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to die Oh no, no
