(Carlene Carter)

You been out there layin' low
In every dive from here to Memphis
Lookin' for something to fill the hole
In your poor little heart
And keep out the cold
Why does love have to hurt so bad
To drive a man downtown every night
I tell ya something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be gone

(Carlene Carter/Susanna Clark)

There he goes, gone again
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet

It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of sundays to try and explain

(Carlene Carter)

I've tasted the good and the bad
And too much of what I ain't had
I been up and down
And all around this old town
But nothing's felt better than my feet on the ground
On the road that leads out of town

So goodnight Dallas
Gonna shoot out the lights in that ole silver palace
I'll drink your wine
One last time
Come morning I'll be gone
Goodnight Dallas

(Carlene Carter/James Eller)

Some folks live their life not knowing
Where they've been or where they're going
I'm not one but I know some
I've been selfish with affection
I threw it all in one direction
To turn around and then I found
The ones I loved I'd let 'em down

There must be a guardian angel

I lived my life like no tomorrow
A lot of laughs and such sweet sorrow

(Carlene Carter/Howie Epstein/Benmont Tench/Perry Lamek)

Hey, I hit town without a clue
Minding my business like I always do
Just my luck I ran smack into you

And I never could've known it would be like this
You got the kind of charm that I can't resist
I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two

But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love

(Carlene Carter)

In my Grandma's house her children would sing
Guitars a twangin' and their laughter would ring
I was little but I was the biggest kid
I wanted to do what the grown-ups did

In a big shiny car we'd head down the road
To sing for the miners who brought out the coal
Many a time I slept on the floorboard cold
On a quilt with my little sister
The Wildwood Rose

(A.P. Carter)

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
Beneath the silver moon
With my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream

A way down below the Mason-Dixon Line
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
There's where the southern winds are blowin'
There's where the daisies growing
Girls of the North in their gay finery

(Carlene Carter/Howie Epstein/Perry Lamek)

Time and time again I've tried
To give it up and stop my rovin' eye
I think I'd really like to settle down
But I can't find a man to keep my feet from running 'round

One love, one love, one great big love
One love, one love, one great big love
One love, one love, one great big love

My mama told me when I was a child

(Carlene Carter/Keith Christopher/Tom Gray)

Hey baby there's two sides to every story
I've heard them one too many times
Just stop callin' I'm not falling anymore
I've had enough of all your charms

Once and for all that's enough for a life time
Love's lost at long last it's over
Close the door and walk away
On the leavin' side

You can cry and cry and I won't listen

(Carlene Carter/Robert Ellis Orrall)

In the stillness of the dawn
Our love is dead and gone
The sunrise warms my heart
With memories of you
It's the sweetest thing--remembering

There's a picture in the hall
That I'm leaving on the wall
'Cause there's a look in your eyes
That always made me fall apart
It's the sweetest thing--remembering
When I close my eyes to cry

(Leon Payne)

Oh you are the one
You're the one in my heart
You're my darlin'
My life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart
And I know that I love you
And I always will

Well I've had some sweethearts
And dear, so have you
I know that I've done things
That I shouldn't do
We've both tasted life
Both the bitter and the sweet
It helped us to know love
When we chanced to meet
