COUPLES DANCES: West Coast Swing, Triple Two-step, Stroll

Verse
Some sunny day it is
Without you here
I know that's the way it is
But why isn't clear

Verse
Some starry night it was
What did I say
Well, how wrong or right I was
I watched you walk away

Chorus
Too easy you came
Too easy you're gone
And how friends can claim
That I must go on

Verse
There's not a cloud above
So why do I hide
Because without your love
It's raining inside

Chorus
Too easy you came
Too easy you're gone
Why'd you take my name
Then leave me alone

Coda
Some sunny day it is
It's raining inside.

EVEN THO'

COUPLES DANCE: Two-Step

Chorus
Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise

Verse
Since the day that you first told me that you loved me
I have been head over heels in love with you
Now you say our little romance has to end dear
Now I walk the floor and wonder what I'll do

Chorus
Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise

Verse
There was a time when in my heart I didn't doubt you
Now I'm never sure of what you say or do
For every time I try to put my arms about you
Something tells me that you're not the same old you

Chorus
Even tho' you took the sunshine out of my heaven
Even tho' you took the twinkle out of my eyes
I will always be in love with you my darling
Even tho' I sit and wonder if I'm wise

Verse
There was a time when we danced all night
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek holdin' each other tight
And lately, babe, I think we should be steppin' out, it seems
We've gotta get back in the swing of things

Chorus
I wanna see the sawdust when you kick up your heels
I don't mean the way they do in Beverly Hills
I'm talkin' Saturday night in San Antone and ol' Bob Wills
We'll be back in the swing of things

Chorus (instrumental)

Verse
Baby, where's that little gingham dress I used to zip you in
I'll buy you a brand new pair of boots, we'll go out and wear 'em thin
We'll dance until the break of day, we'll have ourselves a fling
And we'll be back in the swing of things

Repeat Chorus

Chorus (Instrumental)

We'll be back in the swing of things
We'll be back in the swing of thing

COUPLES DANCES: Slow Triple Two Step, Dynamic Slow Dance, Night Club Two-step

Verse
She's spreading her night wings
Her free angel flight wings
All her life she's done right things
They just made her feel old

Verse
Now she does her night thing
Her bright city lights thing
She's spreading her night wings
Finding someone to hold

Chorus
I guess she tired of waiting up
While I'd come in at dawn
Sleeping never was a thing
She did too well alone

Verse
Now even while I sing
She's got on those night wings
Her free angel flight wings
Leave me in the cold.

Verse (instrumental)

Repeat chorus and Last Verse.

VICTIM OF LIFE'S CIRCUMSTANCES

COUPLES DANCES: Two-Step, Pony, Swing

Verse
6:05 a.m. on Sunday morning
And I was 'sposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped by one o' them ol' highway places
'Cause I did I sleep in Tarrant County jail tonight

Well I started out the night with good intentions
And I wound up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well the last thing I remember we was roarin'
Then somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind

Chorus
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
I was raised around barrooms and Friday night dances
Singin' them ol' country songs
Half the time endin' up some place I don't belong

Verse
Said, "Jailer, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
He looked at me and he half way closed one eye
He said, "You mean to say you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife

Verse
You told me that you loved me and I was your one and only
Through good and bad and thick and thin, we never would be lonely
Now all your talk is of divorce and gettin' alimony
Your love has turned to U. S. Choice Prime Grade A-1 Baloney

Every time I turn around you're makin' up excuses
Or else you're just complainin' or partaking in abuses
I see your love's turned cold and sour you are so grump and groany
Your love has turned to U. S. Choice Prime Grade A-1 Baloney

Next Verse
We hardly look at one another, hardly say hello
You're never here when I get home, why do you treat me so
I hoped that I was wrong but now I know I've picked a phony
You're love has turned to U. S. Choice Prime Grade A-1 Baloney

So, fare thee well, I'm gettin' out, while the gettin's good
I know your heart won't turn about, don't even think it could
I'll find a love who's heart is true, who's head is not so stony
Who's love is never U. S. Choice Prime Grade A-1 Baloney

Repeat from "So, fare thee well,"

Chorus
Oh, Carmen, I've had too much tequila
Between you and this Mexican moon I'm gonna fall
El Paso lady, you're driving me crazy
In a language I don't understand you said it all

Verse
Dusty old Juarez on the old Rio Grande
It sure is handy if you need a friend
I don't belong here your dark eyes keep warning
I'll leave in the morning, but for now please let me in

Chorus

Verse
Crossing over the border, stepping over the line
Drunk on yesterday's wine and still feeling no pain
The guitars keep playing a song that I've never heard
Without saying a word you keep calling out my name

Chorus

Coda
In a language I don't understand you said it all

COUPLES DANCES: East Coast Swing, 4 Count Swing, Slow Two-step

Verse
Midnight and I'm waitin' on the 12:05
Hopin' It'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Why don't you keep my heart from breakin' if it's only for a very short time

Chorus
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The Joker ain't the only fool
Who will do anything for you

Layin' out another line
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you

Verse
Honey, you know it makes me mad
But, why is everybody tellin' everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handin' out the heartaches, don't you know you gotta get you some

Chorus

Break (1/2 Chorus)

Verse
Lovers, you know you've had a few
But, now you hide between the covers and you tell me I'm the only one
And others, they know just what I'm goin' through
Well, it's so hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun

Chorus
Chorus
Coda:
To keep me away from you
To keep me away from you
Playin' with the Queen Of Hearts

COUPLES DANCES: Pony Swing, Triple Two-step, Two-step

Verse
Who goes, who stays, who cares
Who gives, who takes, who shares
Who wins in the end when no love is there
Who goes, who stays, who cares

Verse
Who gets the kids on the weekends
Who brings them home from school
And who gives a damn for love they'll never share
Who goes, who stays, who cares

Chorus
Who will try to face every morning
Staring at an empty kitchen chair
Who will reach to hold somebody closer in the night
And find only emptiness there

Verse
Who will be the first one out to find another
Who will find the first new affair
Or who, one more time, will try to find each other
Who goes, who stays, who cares.

Repeat Chorus

Verse
Everybody's goin' out and havin' fun
I'm just the fool for stayin' home and havin' none
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, lonesome me

Verse
A sad mistake I'm makin' 'bout just hangin' 'round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see
Oh, lonesome me

Chorus
I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charm
But I still love her so, and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

Verse
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of every thing from a to z
Oh, lonesome me

Repeat Chorus

Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
