Loretta Lynn Album

(Johnny Tillotson - Teddy Wilburn)

I take too much abuse
To me that's all I ever get
Yeah, callin' a man like you a husband
Is just like callin' old wild cat a pet.

You'd better stop your runnin' around
Say nothin', stop movin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

Each day you walk off over me
Can't you take another out
If you start actin' like married man
Maybe we could find the way to work things out.

You'll find your key won't fit the lock
If you keep on a keepin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

I know you think I'm runnin' round
And that's why you're so peaked
That's another lie of that same old stuff
But I hope you don't expect me to beleive.

Though after night you don't come back
'Cause you just love the home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I know you think I'm runnin' round
And that's why you're so peaked
That's another lie of that same old stuff
But I hope you don't expect me to beleive.

Though after night you don't come back
'Cause you just love the home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

Honey, who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.
You're gonna miss me honey gal
Ah, you're kiddin'...

(Jerry Chesnut)

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'.

The years have shown no kindness
For the hard times that we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream
And still go on bluffin'
With really nothing left to hold on to.

Oh, why do we keep holding on
With nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other
That's at least that we can do.

I feel guilty when they envy
Me and you
We're holding on
With nothing left to hold on to.

--- Instrumental ---

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried.

Oh why do we keep holding on
With nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other
That's at least that we can do.

I feel guilty when they envy
Me and you
We're holding on
With nothing left to hold on to.

We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to...

(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens)

Somewhere between me and you

I love you so much I can't let you go
And sometimes I believe you love me
But somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a door without any key.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a window that I can't see through
There's a wall so high it reaches the sky
Somewhere between me and you.

--- Instrumental ---

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a love I can't understand
It's there for a while then it fades like a smile
And I'm left in the middle again.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a window that I can't see through
There's a wall so high it reaches the sky
Somewhere between me and you...

(Wayne P. Walker)

I chased you till you caught me you had plans of your own
It didn't come as no surpise and you knew it all alone
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cheek but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who.

Well, it was a long hard race I thought I've finally won
I thought I really played it smart but brother was I dumb
You thought you'd pull to figure out and won my heart and hand
But things were only workin' out accordin' to my plans.

I chased you till you caught me you had plans of your own
It didn't come as no surpise and you knew it all alone
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cheek but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who.

--- Instrumental ---

Now you were playin' hard to get just danglin' on a string
I was only holdin' out for a pretty weddin' ring
So you went to the jewelry's to get my big surprise
But you done been there a month before and given them your size.

I chased you till you caught me you had plans of your own
It didn't come as no surpise and you knew it all alone
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cheek but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who.

It don't really matter to me just who caught who...

(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman)

I can see you are not happy the way you've been acting
And I think you'd like to be free
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be
A whole lot happier with me.

In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burning
And I'd like to put out the flame
So let's get together like birds of a feather
And we let the love take the blame.

But right now I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see.

But the way I can make you forget him 'cause I'll take you
To places that you've never been
We may call the night spots the dim and the bright spots
And then we'll forget where we've been.

We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches
And swing from Maine to Mexico
If you'll come along we can make life a song
And you won't be tied down anymore.

But still I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be one more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see.

Yes, let's wait a little longer then we'll see...

(Wayne Kemp)

Well, I was out a drinking
With a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
And said there's my wife on the line.

Well, I told her I was just a drinking
With the couple of biddies I knew
But she told me in a few short words
Just what she wanted me to do.

She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
So won't you come home and talk to a stranger
It's the only place in days you haven't been.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I sat there about an hour
A talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked to that front door
She had gethome in her eyes.

She said you've talked and danced
With every woman in town but me
If you just come around the house
You might like my company.

She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
So won't you come home and talk to a stranger
It's the only place in days you haven't been.

It's the only place in days you haven't been...

Let the world keep on a turnin'
Let the fire keep on a burnin'
Let our love keep on a growin' to the sky
Let our ship of love keep sailin'
Keep the storm clouds far away and
Hand in hand, we'll walk together side by side.

Please, don't pay me attention
To someone that they should mention
That they saw me in the arms of Mary Jane
Oh, it's plain they're only jealous
And their hearts are filled with malice
Their intention is to only bring us pain.

Let the world keep on a turnin'
Let the fire keep on a burnin'
Let our love keep on a growin' to the sky
Let our ship of love keep sailin'
Keep the storm clouds far away and
Hand in hand, we'll walk together side by side.

--- Instrumental ---

When they try to cause us trouble
We'll politely pop their bubble
By ignoring any gossip they might start
So let the north wind keep a blowin'
We'll be safe cause we'll be a knowin'
That our love is safely locked inside our hearts.

Let the world keep on a turnin'
Let the fire keep on a burnin'
Let our love keep on a growin' to the sky
Let our ship of love keep sailin'
Keep the storm clouds far away and
Hand in hand, we'll walk together side by side.

Hand in hand, we'll walk together side by side...

(Loretta Lynn - Lorene Allen)

When I'm cryin', just cryin' over what we've become
That's not but cry though I look there on the demage that we've done
We can start here not parted for there's hope for me and you
If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do.

If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do
My heart tells me to forget her and I'll forget him too
I'll take a step in your direction and toward you I'll take two
If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do.

--- Instrumental ---

It's not rain it's just pain runnin' down my face
I feel certain that's a hurtin' won't leave any trace
We'll erase it just replace it with a love we once knew
If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do.

If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do
My heart tells me to forget her and I'll forget him too
I'll take a step in your direction and toward you I'll take two
If we put our heads together our hearts will tell us what to do...

(Betty Amos)

We're that odd couple on our street
Neighbors stare and wonder
We're a man and wife in love
With each other.

Today a friend of mine came by
Said let's do the town
I can't fix you up
With a cutiest thing around.

She's what I was jokin'
When I told him patiently
The only woman that I want
Is waitin' at home for me.

We're that odd couple on our street
Neighbors stare and wonder
We're a man and wife in love
With each other.

--- Instrumental ---

A neighbor on our left
Talked with our neighbor on our right
A man across the street
Goes out almost every night.

I've heard a different man each night
Each is life company
They all think we're square
'Cause we're happy as can be.

We're that odd couple on our street
Neighbors stare and wonder
We're a man and wife in love
With each other.

Yes, we're a man and wife
In love with each other...
