Rock In My Shoe
Rock In My Shoe
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
I've met a girl or two in my lifetime
And I've loved a few, but not the right time
I think I'm a-wastin' my time lovin' anyone but you
You got a hold on me I just can't seem to break free
I walk a girl to town and start to fool around
But honey you're the rock in my shoe
I stroll into the night spots
Thinkin' that I'm something real hot
I got a pretty girl and she's got a lo, but I know she ain't true
It's just not the same, I'm playin' a fool's game
Oh, when I start to dance and try to make romance
Honey, you're the rock in my shoe
Now my heart has reached that decision
'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision
No hers and his and and I guess I always knew
You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
There's always a rock in my shoe
When I walk with someone new
I try to find love in another's arms
But it seems I just dream of you
Now my heart has reached that decision
'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision
No hers and his and and I guess I always knew
You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile
'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
and multiple other artists
Dearest, darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home, any more
For something happened, to me
While I was driving home
And I'm not the same any more
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I, saw her
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel, she was there
And so I walked up, to her
Asked where I could get something to eat
And she, showed me where
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
She took me to the café
I asked her if she would stay
She said, "okay"
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
A juke box started to play
And that turned into today
As we were dancing, closely
All of a sudden I lost control as I, held her charms
And I caressed her, kissed her
Told her I'd die before I would let her out, of my arms
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I love somebody new
What can, I do?
And I can never, never, never, go home again
(woh! woh! woh! woh!)

I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder
Composer(s): Daryl Hutchins
Performer(s): Eddy Howard
and multiple other artists
All by myself at home a-feeling blue
Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you
I wonder if you're dancing with somebody new
I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder
No matter what side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on
My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the daydream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
You care for someone else, I see
Well then, it's quite all right with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
Wonder, how I wonder
I wonder
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
Gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do

Kissing My Pillow
Kissing My Pillow
Composer(s): Wally Lewis; Fuzzy Owen
Performer(s): Rose Maddox;
Lost Country; Warren Smith
I tell myself I’m satisfied to live the way I do
And it was such a foolish thing to fall in love with you
I tried to make believe I’m glad you found somebody new
But I can’t hide this lonliness, it just keeps showing through
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall
And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall
And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true
And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending it’s you
I never knew how much I cared until you walked away
And left me with these memories that’s in my heart today
I thought that I could find somebody else to take your place
But memories of loving you keep standing in the way
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall
And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall
And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true
And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending it’s you

Twenty Years Ago
Twenty Years Ago
Composer(s): Dan Tyler - Michael Noble - Michael Spriggs - Wood Newton
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers; Juice Newton
It`s been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there`s the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody`s left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that`s where
All my friends would meet
You`d be surprised what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago
All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I`d give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier twenty years ago
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson`s hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
Twenty years ago

I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye
I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye
Composer(s): Leon Payne
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists
Your letter came, this very day
And it wiped all, my dreams away
I've read it o'er, a thousand times
It’s left me with, a worried mind
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why
I dread the thought that we are through
And that you've found, somebody new
I love you now, I always will
I'd rather die, than say farewell
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why
I hope and pray, before my time
That you'll come back, and say you're mine
Bring back the love, you took away
And mend the heart, you broke today
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why

Kissing You Goodbye (John Denver)
Kissing You Goodbye
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
Oh, at first it was just like heaven
in your heart and in your arms
And paradise discovered
in the sweetness of your charms
Yes, and every day a miracle to awake and be with you
And every night in your embrace another dream come true
But castles sometimes crumble some rivers still run dry
And fairy tales are witches tales when the truth becomes a lie
And a pocket full of promises won't buy a diamond ring
And every word you said to me just didn't mean a thing
It's over now, you've gone too far I can't take anymore
Be careful now - don't hurt yourself when you walk through that door
I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry
Get your tongue out of my mouth because I'm kissing you goodbye!
Now I suppose I'll never know why things turned out this way
And why the one you love the most is the one you drove away?
Yes, and I suppose I'll never, ever really understand
How I could think that you'd make me a happy married man
So now I sit and contemplate the reason for it all
The climb to heights of ecstasy the failure and the fall
If a broken heart is purposeful it's in the lesson learned
No matter what the reason is it hurts when you get burned
Now I don't care, I don't think I'll ever love again
"Kemosabe" used to me good and trusted friend
But now it stands for therapy and all the tears I cry
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'Cause I'm kissing you goodbye!
Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye

Twenty Tiny Fingers
Twenty Tiny Fingers
Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett
Performer(s): Stargazers
and multiple other artists
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop
Pop-pop
She put on the light in the middle of the night
And whispered "Dear, let's go"
He grabbed a sock and called the Doc
He told him "Don't be slow"
I got her there with time to spare
And then I sat on pins
Until the Doctor shook his hand
And told him "You've got twins"
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop
Pop-pop
We've got cribs and bottles and bibs
All round our three roomed flat
No time to see what's on TV
No room to hang your hat
We're on the run, we're never done
It's like a steeplechase
They came in and they took over
Like they owned the place
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop
Pop-pop
It's twice the laundry, twice the milk
It's twice the baby clothes
It's double this and double that
Oh how the money goes
But now, you see, they both agree
When all is said and done
We've got twice the blessings
And we've got twice the fun
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
The other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his
Pop-pop

I Wonder Why I Worry Over You
I Wonder Why I Worry Over You
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Dear you’re not worth the breath it takes to mention your name
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
The way you kick my love around it’s such a crying shame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
Friends with good intentions all tell me to get smart
And runaway this very day before you break my heart
You’ll never change your wicked ways you’ll always be the same
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
Even when you know your wrong I still get the blame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
If there’s an art for breaking hearts you could start a hall of Fame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
If I walked out tomorrow it wouldn’t bother you
You’ve got another waitin’ now to see just what I do
And you’re not worth the breath it takes to mention your name
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

Kissing You Goodbye (Waylon Jennings)
Kissing You Goodbye
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
I've learned to turn the other cheek
Is not what love's about
I've turned mine so many times
That i damned near wore 'em out
I've grown used to your abuse
And I thought I'd never quit
But I woke up this morning
Couldn't find my shiv-a-git
You've always liked to play your games
Well I got one for you
Pretend we're playing checkers girl
And it's your time to move
You'll find your suitcase on the porch
And the taxi in the drive
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye
I see you've finally made it home
You been out all night
Your artificial hair's a mess
And your clothes don't fit you right
I've given and forgiven
Till there ain't nothing left
But all you gave was just enough
To satisfy yourself
I can smell that whiskey in your hair
And sen-sen on your breath
If you ever tried to tell the truth
You'd choke yourself to death
I don't want your nasty kisses
And don't tell me no more lies
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye

Twenty Miles
Composer(s): Dave Appell - Barry Mann
Performer(s): Chubby Checker; Dean Ford & The Gaylords; Brian Poole & the Tremeloes
Twenty miles from my house to your house
Twenty miles and I walk it all the way
Twenty miles when you’re in love is nothin’
And I got to see my baby every day
I walk along
I sing a song
Twenty miles is a long long way
But I got to see my baby every day
Lots of girls are ridin’ near to my house
Pretty girls they keep passin’ by all day
Lots of girls but I don’t even see ‘em
Cause the girl I love is twenty miles away
I walk along
I sing a song
Twenty miles is a long long way
But I got to see my baby every day
Oh ho
I walk along
I sing a song
Twenty miles is a long long way
But I got to see my baby every day
Twenty miles is a long long way
But I got to see my baby every day
Oh hey Twenty miles

I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
I will float a silken silver moon near your window
If your night is dark, if your night is dark
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven
If there are no stars, if there are no stars
All of these and seven wonders more will I find
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
[... verse in Cantonese? ...]
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you

24 Hours At A Time
Composer(s): Toy Caldwell
Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
I been down around Houston, Texas, where the sun shines most of the time
I been driving for about six hours, trying to reach that Arkansas line
Texarkana's just an hour ahead; I gotta keep my wheels rolling
But woman you're always on my mind, 24 hours at a time
Somehow, woman, I'm hoping you feel the same way
Woman, you know that I miss you
But I can't miss you no more
I got this White doing 70 miles an hour
She's loaded, it's down to the floor
But I got to reach that Arkansas line before the sun goes down
But woman you're always on my mind, 24 hours at a time
Somehow, woman, I'm hoping you feel the same way
Woman you know I need you
I been on the road so much
Try to make connected highways
We got to keep in touch someway
I been down around Houston, Texas, where the sun shines most of the time
I been driving for about six hours, trying to reach that Arkansas line
Texarkana's just an hour ahead; I gotta keep my wheels rolling
But woman you're always on my mind, 24 hours at a time
Somehow, woman, I'm hoping you feel the same way
Feel the same way...

Kitty
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
Performer(s): Cat Stevens
I work in the morning, I work in the night
the men on the block, they just laugh at me
I work in the morning, I work in the night
the men on the block, they just laugh at me
But when they're wiping their silver spoons
palming the men for some bread,
I'll be laughing
Way, way out of my head! When my little kitty gets out
there's gonna be a party, a party no doubt
When my little kitty gets out
there's gonna be a party
And if my mind isn't coming so fast
the men on the block say I'm on the brink
And if my mind isn't coming so fast
and I ain't so dumb as some people think
Cause when they're wiping their silver spoons
palming the men for some bread
I'll be laughing, way, way out of my head
