A Handful of Dust Tony Arata Morganactive Songs, Inc. / EMI April Music Inc. (c/o Morgan Music Group, Inc.) ASCAP	Handful of Dust, Handfuls of Dust, True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust. Well break us down by our elements, And you might think He failed. We’re not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail. And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust However small though our worth may be, When shared between two hearts. Is evermore than it would ever be measured on it’s own apart. And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust
Ain't It Amazing	I’ve never had a face you’d notice The world never took much notice of me I’ve never been good at conversation I was too busy tripping on my own feet I’ve never had grand illusions Love was always for someone else But in a world, so few surprises There’s still a few surprises left Ain’t it amazing, that miracles happen Ain’t it amazing, you can still find your dream Ain’t it amazing, it all comes true When someone like you can happen to someone like me So hold me now so warm beside you Let me stay forever near Sometimes I think I’m only dreaming But I wake up, you’re still here
All I’m Missing Is You	I go to places we like to go I do the things we like to do Familiar faces we both know All I’m missing is you Don’t ask me how I’m getting along Cause there’s really nothing new Everything’s about the same since you’ve gone All I’m missing is you The same ole memories are just as strong Same ole dreams don’t come true That same ole feeling goes on and on All I’m missing is you
Amanda Bob McDill Songs of Polygram International, Inc. BMI	I’ve held it all inward, Lord knows I’ve tried It’s an awful awakening’ in a country boy’s life To look in the mirror in total surprise At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes CHORUS: Amanda light of my life Fate should of made you a gentlemen’s wife Amanda light of my life Fate should of made you a gentlemen’s wife Well a measure of people don’t understand The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band I got my first guitar when I was fourteen Now I’m crowding’ thirty and still wearing’ jeans
Another Place, Another Time Bob McDill / Paul Harrison	Oh it’s late, I know I should be leaving We’ve both got someone waiting we’ll have to go And it’s so strange to think that I just met you I almost wish I’d met you long ago In your eyes I see a certain look And that same look must be in mine And who knows what we might have been Another place, another time I’ll admit in time that I’ll forget you Cause the truth is I still love her after all But even though we knew it couldn’t happen For a moment we felt something oh so strong And in your eyes.....
Atta Way To Go Don Williams	That a way to go you finally broke it off That a way to go we can’t even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go Didn’t you believe me when I loved you I guess you thought we were playing games All this time I tried to think I’ve known you I guess I really only knew your name That a way to go you finally broke it off That a way to go we can’t even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go I thought you knew I lived my life just for you There was just no price to big to pay And even though I know I still live for you The feeling’s that you show won’t let me stay
Back in my Younger Days Danny Flowers	Back in my younger days, I used to go all night Now I just stay at home, and everything is all right Back when I first met you, I used to live in a haze That was so long ago, back in my younger days I would do anything, just a stumbling fool It’s a wonder I’m standing here, I’ve broken so many rules Now I dance with you every night, and still I’m so amazed Your love made a man of me, back in my younger days Oh, it doesn’t seem that long ago You, you make it feel like the first time we made love And I ain’t ever getting enough Well, well, well.... As I go through the photographs, I laugh and turn the page Its the ballad of me and you, from such an innocent age Talk about a dream come true, we reinvented a phrase Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days Back in my younger days, Back in my younger days Its better than it used to be, back in my younger days

Come Early Morning Bob McDill Charted May 5, 1973 Peaked at #12	I been walking, walking in the moonlight Tripping in the starlight, Lord and I’m feeling down Walking in the shadows, sneaking down a side road Come early morning I’ll be there on the edge of town I was a thinking, thinking ‘bout a good thing Thinking bout a sweet dream, in my honey’s eyes And I was a sinking’, feeling kind of lonesome Come early morning I’ll be home at my honey’s side CHORUS: I have drifted up across the mountain and I have stumbled down the other side And I’ve been tempted, tried and troubled Come early morning I’ll be home and satisfied She give me little loving, gives me little sunshine Makes me have a good time, Lord when I’m feeling’ blue I couldn’t refuse her, well I couldn’t misuse her Come early morning I’ll be home with my honey dew <CHORUS>
Cracker Jack Diamond Neil Thrasher, Ronnie Scaife Rio Bravo Music, Inc./Songs of Polygram International, Inc./Virgin Timbre Music BMI	Well he spent that summer going door to door With a can of gas and an old lawn mower That’s a sure fire way to make a buck when you’re fourteen Well he made a block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sitting on the porch eating’ ice cream Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didn’t wash them thank the lord CHORUS: Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young like a Cracker Jack Diamond Well it’s been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle’s gone, but not in their eyes And he’s wanting to tell her what’s been on his mind lately He said, girl I ain’t rich but I’ve been saving up A little ever day ‘til I had enough Before he finished he said, you know I will baby Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord <CHORUS> Now once a year she takes it out but it won’t fit her hand But she wears it in her heart because that’s where it all began <CHORUS>
Crying in the Rain Carole King, Howard Greenfield	I’ll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting’ me I’ve got my pride and I know how to hide All my sorrow and pain I’ll do my crying’ in the rain If I wait for cloudy skies You won’t know the rain from the tears in my eyes You’ll never know that I still love you so Though the heartaches remain I’ll do my crying in the rain Raindrops falling from heaven Could never wash away my misery But since we’re not together I’ll look for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see Someday when my crying’s done I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool but ‘til then darling you’ll Never see me complain I’ll do my crying in the rain Raindrops falling from heaven Could never wash away my misery But since we’re not together I’ll look for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see Someday when my crying’s done I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool but ‘til then darling you’ll Never see me complain I’ll do my crying in the rain I’ll do my crying in the rain I’ll do my crying in the rain

FAIRWEATHER FRIENDS Joe Allen, Johnny Cash	Chorus: Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors, Will leave you stranded on life's shore.

But He's a solid rock when troubles grow, And He's holding out a saving hand for me. He'll be a refuge in the storm; He'll be a beacon in the night; In the chilly winds of doubt He'll keep you warm; When you can't find your way He'll be your light
FALLING AGAIN Bob McDill	I should take my time, I know, take it easy, take it slow Every heartache needs to mend, before you love again So I hold on for awhile and try to keep this old heart free And then I look across a room and someone smiles at me CHORUS: Oh and heaven help me here I go again Before I’ve even had the time for this old heart to mend Oh I just get over one heartache and then Here I go, like a fool, falling again People tell me take your time, wait awhile and clear your mind Give yourself some time to heal, If you fall be sure it’s real But it seems that every time, I’m almost on my feet Someone makes me say hello, someone on the street <CHORUS> repeat

NO USE RUNNING Don Williams	The weather vane out on the shed is looking to the West, I reckon I’ll head that way, it’s good as any way I guess. Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode, cause there’s no use running when you’re on the wrong road. l it wouldn’t take much for someone to define all the contradicting flashes that burn across our minds. But there’s no way to communicate if you don’t know the code and there’s no use running when you’re on the wrong road. There’s times I get to thinking about the way it might have been and I wonder how we got to this state that were in but every word we spoke only added to the load and there’s no use running when you’re on the wrong road. Guess we knew some things you’ve got to fight to win, but you get to standing back when after leading with your chin. We both learned to young that you reap what’s been sowed and there’s no use running when you’re on the wrong road.. No there’s no use running when you’re on the wrong road.

OLD COYOTE TOWN Larry Boone / Gene Nelson / Paul Nelson Warner Bros. Music	He’s got a US flag on his front porch To remind everyone where he lives And up in the attic there are papers that prove The old house is finally his After thirty-five years the grass still don’t grow In that rock hard west Texas ground Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town. CHORUS Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Of a cafe that don’t need a name Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll Past the boarded up windows down Main Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign At the drive-in where my innocence died With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime And down at the depot where I left for good There’s a hobo with his three-legged hound Waitin’ for a train, that no longer comes to that old coyote town And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rythm that don’t ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by that old coyote town Daddy falls asleep in the living room On the sofa with the TV on Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me Sometimes he waits too long But I still think of the people and the place that he loves How much longer will they be around Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust For that old coyote town

ONLY WATER (Shining In The Air) Hugh Prestwood BMI	Not that long ago I was on the run People telling me I should be someone And the things I loved Were forgotten in my haste Till I reached the end Of the rainbow I had chased. Its only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air. Now I've got a wife And she sees me through And I've got a friend I can talk straight to And I got some dreams Just a bit more down to earth And I don't forget What a rainbow's really worth. But, Its only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air. If you want fame and fortune Then you just be my guest If you want to pay those dues I wish you all the best But, Its only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise after all the care It was only water shining in the air. It was only water shining in the air.

SENORITA Danny Flowers / Hank DeVita	Back in the innocent days, there was a young cowboy, in love with a Mexican girl. Only...She didn’t know it. And he would watch her, as she walked by. And her cotton dress, would dance in the wind. And her eyes held the stars. Now she was the most beautiful thing, that cowboy had ever seen. Sent down straight from heaven. But he was afraid, he’d never win her heart. Because of some family scars, left by the range wars. But oh...how he loved her. CHORUS: Senorita...Passing by... Pardon me if I stop and asked you why. Senorita... Could it be... Someone like you could love Someone like me? So he walked up to her, tipped his hat and introduced himself. And she looked up at him, and didn’t know what to say. So he told her the story of his family. The trouble that brought the barbed wire. And of all the things he couldn’t change. And then he told her that he loved her. And he studied her reaction. And by the time the spring rains came, they were married. Now there’s an old song that my family used to sing. ‘Bout a young cowboy and a Mexican girl. And how they fell in love.

THE OLD TRAIL Charles John Quarto, Steve Gillette BMI	There’s a new ridge road that cuts the mountain to the bone. Slices through the woods like there ain’t nobody home. You wheel on up the valley view. You’ll never feel the climb. Oh but I’ll take the old trail every time. The old trail, just moses right along, moves at the speed of a sweet love song and the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes. Yeah I’ll take the old trail every time. Lately it seems things vanish by degrees. How soon we forget we made our tree houses out of trees. When we going to realise some reasons just don’t rhyme. Yeah I take the old trail every time. The old trail. Now may she never fade. The one where the deer always have the right of way. How I love to watch the wintergreen along the timber lines. Yes I’ll take the old trail every time. People all in cars let the radios do the talking but I always find that I’m singing when I’m walking. The old trail just moses right along. Moves at the speed of a sweet love song and the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes. Yeah I’ll take the old trail every time. I take the old trail every time.

ASCAP	I left Oklahoma drivin’ in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin’ on to Arizona, maybe on to California Where all the people live so fine My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy I was goin’ to show ‘em all this time ‘Cause you know I ain’t no fool an’ I don’t need no more schoolin’ I was born to just walk the line Livin’ on Tulsa time Livin’ on Tulsa time Well you know I’ve been through it When I set my watch back to it Livin’ on Tulsa time Well there I was in Hollywood wishin’ I was doin’ good Talkin’ on the telephone line But they don’t need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs Guess I’m just wastin’ time Well then I got to thinkin’, man I’m really sinkin’ And I really had a flash this time I had no business leavin’ and nobody would be grievin’ If I went on back to Tulsa time Livin’ on Tulsa time Livin’ on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it ‘Cause you know I’ve been through it Livin’ on Tulsa time
(TURN OUT THE LIGHTS AND) LOVE ME TONIGHT Bob McDill	I´ve been lonesome and I´ve been empty I got an achin´, way down inside I need someone, someone to hold me Pull down the shade, turn out the light And love me tonight Don´t think about tomorrow It don´t matter any more We can turn the key And lock the world outside the door I need you so now Come on let go now Kick off your shoes, turn out the light And love me tonight Instrumental Now don´t you worry We´re all alone now Let your hair down Sit by my side Turn off the T.V.

WAITING FOR A TRAIN	All around the water tank Waitin’ for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleepin’ in the rain I walked up to a brakeman Just to give him a line of talk He says if you’ve got money boy I’ll see that you don’t walk Well I have’nt got a nickle Not a penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door Well he put me off in Texas A state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon and the stars up above Nobody seems to want me Or to lend me a helping hand I’m on my way from ‘Frisco Goin’ back to Dixieland Oh my pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain I’m a thousand miles away from home Waitin’ for a train
WALKIN’ A BROKEN HEART Ralph Murphy / Joe Allen	Walkin’ down this midnight street Just the sound of two lonely feet Walkin’ a broken heart, walkin’ a broken heart The empty city not a soul in sight And a misty rain falls on a perfect night To walk a broken heart to walk a broken heart I know if you’re thinking this couldn’t happen to you You’d be a fool for believing Dreams won’t fly away, sometimes they do. I know if you’re thinking this couldn’t happen to you You’d be a fool for believing Dreams won’t fly away, sometimes they do. So if you’ve been hurt and you’re feeling lost Put your paperback back and turn your TV off And walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart Walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart Walk your broken heart. Go walk your broken heart

There are times that I don’t see the light and I don’t know if what I do is right, when I’m wrong it’s never meant for you, so don’t confuse my love with what I do.
