Jackson
(with Jimmy Dean)
(from the LP "Country Boy And Country Girl")
Billy Ed
Wheeler & Gaby Rogers - 1965 Quartet Music - BMI
We
got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson (you just think you are)
I'm gonna mess around (You're really thinking you are now)
Headed for Jackson, look out Jackson town
Well you go on down to Jackson (I'm leavin')
Go ahead and wreck your health (I beg your pardon)
Play your hand like a lovin' man
Make a big fool of yourself
Honey, you just go on to Jackson, why don't you go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson
Go ahead and see if I care
Hmm, when I breeze into that city all them people gonna stoop and bow
(ha!)
And them Jackson women gonna make me (Wait a minute)
Teach 'em what they don't know now
I'm goin' to Jackson, get your grubby hands off of my coat
I'm headed to Jackson, well, goodbye that's all she wrote
When they laugh at you in Jackson, I'll be dancin' on the pony kegs
(Never happen, dear)
They'll lead you round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs (look out!)
Jimmy, go on to Jackson, you big tall Texas man
I'll be waitin' right there in Jackson (I figured) behind my Japan
fan (Your Ja-pan, ha!)
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact
Yeah goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back
(I tell you one thing, I'm leavin' first thing in the morning for Jackson)
(Oh ya? Well let me tell you one thing, sweetheart, Mr. Jimmy Dean,
I will be right at your heals)
(You'd better be ridin' a fast mule, that's all I can say)

Jesse
(from
the LP "Country Sunshine")
Janie Ian * 1972
Taosongs Two - BMI
Jesse, come home,
there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept, now it's growing cold
Hey
Jesse, your face and the place where we laid
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
Chorus:
And I'm keepin' the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared - I wait for you
Jesse, it's lonely, come home
Jesse, the floors and the boards, recalling your step, and I remember, too
All the pictures are fading and shading in gray
But I still set a place at the table at noon
(repeat chorus)
Jesse, the spread on the bed, is like when you left
Well, I kept it for you all the blues and the greens
Have been recently cleaned and are seemingly new
Hey Jess, me and you will swallow the light on the stairs
We'll fix up my hair and sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home

Johnnie Walker,
Old Granddad, Jackie Daniels And You
(Released As A Single Only)
Howard
Greenfield & Neil Sedaka * 1968 Careers Music - BMI
You ain't showin'
no devotion, the way you're treatin' me
You go out for the evenin' paper
and you don't come home 'till three or four
Stumblin' through the door like a wounded pup, ya can't stand up
Oh how I dread draggin' you to bed when you had a few
Fillin' up them ice baths, playin' nursemaid too
To Johnnie Walker, Old Granddad, Jackie Daniels and you
You've been stealin' all of my money from the cookie jar
I can see a trail of pennies leadin' to the bar and grill
Where ya hide until ya come home tight at broad daylight
Well it's a doggone shame I carry your name and my baby too
While most guys have one woman you have quite a few
It's Johnnie Walker, Old Granddad, Jackie Daniels and you.
I'm a one man woman honey but you've got me uptight
I'll tell the judge you stole my money and he's gonna set you right in jail
And I won't bring the bail for thirty days till you change your ways
If you can't choose between me and booze this time we're really through
I'm not gonna pay that alimony
'cause I intend to sue
Johnnie Walker, Old Grandad, Jackie Daniels and you

Just Because
(from
the LP "I Fall To Pieces")
Sidney Robin,
Bob Shelton & Joe Shelton * 1946 Leeds Music - ASCAP
Well now just
because you think you're so pretty
Just because you think you're so hot
Just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got
Though you make me spend all my money you
Laugh and call me old Santa Cause
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through with you
Just because, just because
Yeah well now just because you think I'm so lonesome
Just because you think
I'll be blue
Just because you think I'd be foolish to stay around at home and wait for
you
Though you made me drop all my boyfriends
You laugh and call me old Santa
Cause
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through with you
Just because just because

Just Call Me
Lonesome
(from
the LP "Country Girl")
Rex Griffin * 1958
Copar Music - ASCAP
Why must I
love a heartless one
Who'll never, ever know the harm he's done
Though love is blind I should have known
So call me lonesome from now on
These walls will hide me when I cry
And I pray that heaven will let me die
For what good is life when love is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
I climb the stairs up to my room
But there's no one to meet me, just my gloom
The silence tells me that he is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
I pray my memories at last
Will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Then call me lonesome from now on

Just One Time
(from
the LP "Have You Heard")
Don Gibson *
1960 Acuff-Rose Music - BMI
If I could see
you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could just hold you one more time
And then pretend that you're still
mine
Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, how I miss you so oh, I need you so
I'd give this heart of mine if I could see you just one time
Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
(Repeat chorus
3x)
If could just see
you just one time
Wish I could see you one more time

Just Out Of
Reach
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
V.F. Stewart
* 1952 Acuff-Rose Music - BMI
Love that runs
away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty
arms
Each night in dreams I see your face, mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone, I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty
arms
That lonesome feeling all the time knowing that you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep, vows that we could never keep
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty
arms

Just Somone I
Used To Know
(with Jimmy Dean)
(from
the LP "Country Boy & Country Girl")
Jack Clement
* 1962 Jack Music - BMI
There's a picture that I carry
One we made
some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just someone I used to know
Chorus:
Just someone I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that's lost its
glow
And I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just someone I used to
know
Just someone I used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them all the nights I cry without you
I say just someone I used
to know
I say just someone I used to know

Just The Other
Side Of No Where
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Kris
Kristofferson * 1970 Combine Music - BMI
I come from just
the other side of nowhere to this big time lonesome town
They got a lotta ice and snow here, half as cold as all the people I found
Every way I've tried to go here seems to bring me down
And I seen about enough to know where I belong
Chorus:
I've got a mind to see the headlight shinin' on that old white line
Between my heart and home
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays
Sittin' in a park alone
So give my best to anyone who's left
Who's ever done me any lovin' way but
wrong
And tell 'em that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's going home
Taking nothing back to show there for these dues that I've paid
But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been given away
Fadin' from the neon night time glow here headin' for the light of day
Just the other side of nowhere's going home
(Repeat chorus)

Just The Way You
Are (with
Kenny Rogers)
(from
the LP "Classics")
Billy Joel *
1978 Impulsive Music - ASCAP
Don't go
changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want no clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
Just want someone I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

Just What I've
Been Looking For
(from
the LP "If It's Alright With You/Just What I've Been Looking For")
Kenny O'Dell
* 1973 Warner House Of Music - BMI
Chorus:
You're just what
I've been looking for
Something I never thought I'd find
Everything I'd ever dreamed of
Is gettin' closer all the time
Oh I believe you want me, too
And love is in your eyes
You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I had in mind
Once around the wheel of love
I guess everybody's tried
And you never quite get over it
When you've been taken for a ride
Well forget all of that
That's another place and another time
That world began to fade away
When you walked into my life
(Repeat chorus)
You're just what
I've been looking for
Just what I had in mind

Killing Me
Softly
(from
the LP "If It's Alright With You/Just What I've Been Looking For")
Charlie Fox &
Norman Gimbel * 1972 Fox-Gimbel Publishing - BMI
I heard he sang a
good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for awhile
And there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes
Chorus:
Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each word out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
(Repeat chorus)
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But then he was there this stranger singing clear and strong
(Repeat chorus
2x)

King Of Kings
(from the LP
"Sing Sacred Ballads")
Leon Payne * 1966 Acuff-Rose Publishing - BMI
(He
is the King of
Kings)
I stood upon a lonely mountain side, when suddenly a vision came to me
I saw Golgotha's Hill where Jesus died to give man hope for immortality
I thought do we appreciate the cost the cruel suffering crucifixion brings
Kneel down and pray before your chance is lost, for He is the King of Kings
I stood beside a river deep and wide and watched its waters flow out to the
sea
And I thought why do we let our selfish pride fill our lives with shame and
misery
Why do we say Lord let Thy will be done
Then prove how much we lie each day God brings
Kneel down and pray before your chance is lost, for He is the King of Kings
He is the King of Kings
