If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')

If you got a Cadillac boy
And a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'

If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make, hey boy
'Cause you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a a little honey
It's better than money

If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'

If they call you a big man
'Cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the President
And ya help from the Government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension

If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'

If you got a string of long cars
And your smokin' them 4-bit cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit a smackin'
Or your life's lackin'

If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'

- Tommy Collins

Oh, how I wish, you could read my mind
'Cause words can't always tell it like it is some times
When we're this close, the lights and music glow
Why don't we let our feelings take us where we wanna go

Under these conditions, there ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions that's running wild tonight
A man needs a woman, a women needs a man
And under these conditions, hearts get out of hand

You've got those eyes that won't let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch with reality
And you got those lips that I just got to taste
And I'd love to hear them whisper, darlin', take me from this place

Under these conditions, there ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions that's running wild tonight
A man needs a woman, a women needs a man
And under these conditions, hearts get out of hand

- Ronnie McDowell, Joe Meador, Troy Seals

She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child.
A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled.
She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew
She's go away when the grass turned green and the sky turned baby blue.

And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.

And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

Weather man says it's rainin' again
Perfect night for stayin' in
Lookin' at you I don't doubt that it's true
And did I hear you say
Baby put on a smile
Kick your shoes off
And stay a while
Well since you asked me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do

Just as long as it's you baby
I don't mind if I do

- Skip Ewing, Don Sampson

I never thought too much about her leavin'
I'd find someone there was no doubt
But this time the feelin' is strange and different
Since she's been gone there's one thing I found out

It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

I've never suffered much in the hurtin' line
I've always been as good as any man
But show me who can lose in love and like it
And I'll be the first to proudly shake his hand

It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

- Curtis Wayne

I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door
I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, I lied, I was glad we were through
As she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
"You won't break my heart and I don't love you"
The famous last words of a fool

The first night without her would be easy, I kept telling myself
All the while dying at the thought of her lying somewhere else
There'll be nothing to it, I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
"You won't break my heart and I don't love you"
The famous last words of a fool
"You won't break my heart and I don't love you"
Famous last words of a fool

- Dean Dillon, Rex Huston

Remember how lonely I told you it would be
Without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that I've found somebody new
You've changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say

It's too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
I'd be your fool
And I would sit right here an' wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
I'm sorry it's too late now

Well didn't I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late
To say you'd made a big mistake
And now you've come back like you've never been gone
Well baby you're wrong
Somebody else has taken your place

It's too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
I'd be your fool
And I would sit right here an' wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
I'm sorry it's too late now

- David Chamberlain

Is it that time again closing time closing in
Are they turning out the lights must I go home?
'Cause her memory is haunting me
Waiting there to see I'm not alone

I know I just can't stand another lonely night
This man is going out of his mind
Since you left me behind
Since you left me behind

Am I the last one here? Please just one more beer
And I'll be on my way back to the blues
Back down lonely street to a house that's steep
With nothing but a line of bad news

I know I just can't stand another lonely night
This man is going out of his mind
Since you left me behind
Since you left me behind

- Buddy Cannon, Dean Dillon, Vern Gosdin

Don't need your love
On a silver platter
Let's get down to the nitty grit
Let's cut out all the chatter
Get to the heart of the matter
Honey let's get down to it

Let's get down to some huggin' and some squeezin'
Arm and arm
We'd be a perfect fit
So put a freeze on the teasin'
Let's get on with the pleasin'
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it

I get a chill every time your near me
You've got my heart doin' flips
I only aim to please
If you'd let go you'd see
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it

Honey let's get down to it

- L. David Lewis

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' me
