Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep a steppin' out of line
You're messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit

Bridge:
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

I keep a workin' every day all you want to is play
I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm comin' unglued
From your funny little moods
Now Honey baby that ain't right

bridge
riff (2x)
solo
riff (2x)

You keep a packin' up my clothes nearly everybody knows
That you're still just a puttin' me on
But when I start a walkin'
Gonna hear you start a squawkin'
And beggin' me to come back home

bridge

You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

(Harlan Howard)

Go West Young Man the signs all seem to say
There's San Diego, Frisco or LA
Leave that cold, cold woman far behind
Warm yourself in that California sunshine.

Go west young man become a movie star
Or anything except the fool you are
Expose the lonely corners of your mind
To a little fad of that California sunshine.

I need a change I've headed up to here
She's just playing game that's very clear
But her play mate will soon be hard to find
'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine.

--- Instrumental ---

They say those California girls are fine
They know how to really walk your mind
Well, one of you get ready 'cause you're mine
I'm headin' for that California sunshine.

I need a change I've headed up to here
She's just playing game that's very clear
But her play mate will soon be hard to find
'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine.

Baby, I'll be in that California sunshine...

. . .


(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson)

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love and lost
So stop the world and let me off.

My dreams're shattered don't you see
Now you no longer care for me
I miss the wonder of your kiss
How could you leave me here like this?

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love and lost
So stop the world and let me off.

--- Instrumental ---

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of going round and round
I've played the game of love and lost
So stop the world and let me off...

(Danny Dill - Don Davis)

Just one more dance
Just one more chance
So I can talk to you
We've both have paid
Don't be afraid
Just let me try to prove
I would do anything
You want me to.

Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you
Don't go too far.
With that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win
Let's fall in love again
Give me your heart
And let me start
To build our life anew.

Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you
Just one more dance
Just one more chance
Let me talk to you...

. . .


(Waylon Jennings - Ray Corbin - Miller)

I've been chasin' the big wheels all over Nashville
Waitin' for my big break to come
Livin' on ketchup soup homemade crackers and coolaid
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

I love good and cowboy clothes and I sing through my nose
Webb said that's the way that getter done
I smoke good old PA like the Opry stars they say
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, a friend of a friend of mine is a friend of art divider
And he finally got me on the Opry show
I'll walk up like a star tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Well now here's a song I wrote by myself note to note
With a lot of help it might make No 1
You can change a word or two and I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum...

(Jim Glaser)

So long I've been trying to give you the things that you've wanted
But your thirst for riches is more than my pockets can stand
And I know that you're dreaming of things you could have with another
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You like to be seen in the richest and finest of places
You're always embarrassed by the callouses here on my hands
And I know that it's only a matter of time till you leave me
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

--- Instrumental ---

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

A man can make money but money cannot make the man...

(Harlan Howard)

I've had to burn most every bridge I've crossed
It seems like everything I've loved I'd lost
When I met you I've thought my luck had turned
But our love's just another bridge to burn.

So, I'll soon light the fire and move on
Oh, I've already been here much too long
I'm so hurt and you're so unconcerned
But our love's just another bridge to burn.

Sometimes one must love enough for two
And that's the way it's been with me and you
I'll see your face no matter where I'll turn
But that will be another bridge to burn.

So, I'll soon light the fire and move on
Oh, I've already been here much too long
I'm so hurt and you're so unconcerned
But our love's just another bridge to burn.

Our love's just another bridge to burn...

. . .


(Harlan Howard)

He offers you so many things that I can't give
I know your young heart just can't turn him down
And like you say you're free and it's your life to live
See you around on your way down.

You're much too young to know
The value of a love that's true
I don't think he'll ever learn to love you
Or think half as much of you as I do.

You can't see me your head is too high in the clouds
But I'll be waiting on my side of town
In case you need me and you will I have no doubt
See you around on your way down.

--- Instrumental ---

Like you say you're free and it's your life to live
See you around on your way down.

I'll see you around girl on your way down...

. . .


(Gene Thomas)
Waylon Jennings & Anita Carter

I remember when you said
With this ring I Thee wed
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns these rings of gold to rust.

Love before was clean and pure
Never more can I be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Plans we made just yesterday
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust
Rings of gold have turned to rust.

Rings of gold have turned to rust...
