Nashville Women lyrics

(Harlan Howard)

If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
A lot of these Nashville women wouldn't have no home.

If the blues was wine I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was wine I'd be drunk all the time
It takes a long time baby, to get you from my mind.

Going down the alley to see what I can find

(Marijohn Wilkin)

After the party is over after the final goodbye
When you know he no longer wants you and your last tear has been cried
You'll need someone to turn to remember I've been here all alone
That my love replaced the emptiness and filled the space after the hurt is gone.

--- Instrumental ---

When the last heartache has ended when there's no more emotion to feel

(Liz Anderson)

I feel I'm safe in saying you don't love me
Behind my back you've cheated constantly
You're even grievin' now I've seen you run around
Behind my back right in front of me.

Don't need a crystal ball to see it's over
Don't need a ton of bricks to fall on me
I know your love is gone the way you carry on
Behind my back right in front of me.

(Johnny Hicks)

Adios ana hasta luego hasta luego mi amore
The stars up in heaven will guide you
The moon will be bright up above.

Then the bells in the mission will tell you
Manana is our wedding day
Adios ana hasta luego hasta luego amore.

--- Instrumental ---

Then the bells in the mission will tell you
Manana is our wedding day
Adios ana hasta luego hasta luego amore...

(Liz Anderson)

You got that please-don't-touch-me-air about you
That I-love-someone-else-look in your eyes
And so-before-too-long I'll be without you
We're just a little decide of goodbye.

That's why I'm burning, burning. burning inside
My heart tells me that you've found someone new
And so I'm burning, burning, burning inside
I love you so and now I'm losing you.

(Ann Prince)

The best part of loving you is over and done
And the worst part of loving you has only begun.

The best part of loving you while seeing you here
And feeling tender magic each time you were near
The best part of loving you was knowing you were mine
And childishly believing you'd be mine all the mine.

The best part of loving you while seeing you here

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

Hurt me again the way you always do
Hurt me again I'm still in love with you.

Lie to your new love the way you lied to me
Wrap him round your finger till he loves you hopelessly
Keep and trust and continue right up to the end
And when you're tired of his love hurt me again.

Hurt me again the way you always do
Hurt me again I'm still in love with you.

(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson - Robert Yount - Dub Williams)

Please release me let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
Release and let me love again.

I have found a new love dear
And I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me darling let me go.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, please release me let me go
I don't love you anymore

(Velma Burns)

We're the past time of the gossip
And it hurts me through and through
For there's saying we don't care just what we do
I turn my head and close my heart to what I know is true
But I don't apologize for loving you.

I feel guilty when I hold you for you wear another's name
And I know it's wrong to do these things to you
Each time I kiss you I am adding fuel to the flame

(Hank Locklin)

There's a mem'ry that I treasure of the many things I've done
This mem'ry of all mem'ries in my heart No. 1
Anytime when I am thinking it brings me happiness
This mem'ry of all mem'ries means more than all the rest.

I still recall the first time you whispered
The words I wanted most to hear from you
But you belong to another and I to someone too

(Penny Jay)

I'm tempted my darling to steal you away
Don't let me cross over stay out of my way
You know that I love you and I'm not the stealing kind
And I'm faced with heartaches and love's cheatin' line.

Don't let me cross over love's cheatin' line
You belong to another and you'll never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine

(Ann Prince)

I feel a cry coming on, mhm, mhm, mhm.

Was it sadness in your eryes I saw today
Or did anger make you turn and walk away
Anyhow it made me fall apart
Now that old familiar pain is in my heart.

And I feel a cry coming
Each time I see you again
Or when something reminds me you are gone
Then I feel a cry coming on.

This part of you that's so much part of me

(Fred Rose)

You were there in my arms alone in the moonlight
The trees played the waltz of the wind
It was there that I knew I'll love you forever
We danced to the waltz of the wind.

The stars up above you looked down in your eyes
And told me this night would never end
Now I'm dreaming of you till we meet tomorrow
And dance to the waltz of the wind.
