1. _ You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

2. _ I've Never Loved Anyone More
Seems that I don't think about you too much
And I'm not too sure why I thought of you now
Time has a way of numbing the touch
But I still recall when you left me
Just how much it hurts me to stand there
Just watching you leave
I couldn't believe it was true
After moments we shared and the souls that we bared
I've never loved anyone more
But like I said
I don't think of you much
There's someone beside me who helps me forget
He's shown me how not to think of you now
But when I remember you I don't regret
That we couldn't hold on to the dreams that we shared
The dreams that were there to believe in
And for all of the pain I would love you again
I've never loved anyone more
And for all of the pain I would love you again
I've never loved anyone more

4. _ Snowbird
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break me heart again
Should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you
When you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you

6. _ Love of the Common People
Livin' on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain comes through what can you do
Tears from little sister cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go oh but you know she'll get by
She is livin' in the love of the common people smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground a walking to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone oh you'd better go home where it's warm
And you can live on the love
Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
Oh you take 'em in stride a family pride you know that faith is your salvation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation and plenty of prayer
A makin' you strong where you belong
You can live in the love

7. _ Silver Threads and Golden Needles
I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want's the love you've promised
Beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrows
While you play your cheatin' game
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind
You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind
You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

10. _ Top of the World
Such a feelin's coming over me there is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes and I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's teelin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind when this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world...
I'm on the top of the world...

11. _ Listen to a Country Song
It's Saturday night and my daddy's up late pickin' with my uncle Bill
The neighbors don't mind cause they have a good time sippin' on my pappy's still
Old brother Ben got a fiddle in his hands and mama's on the mandolin
When the music is right and the band is tight you want to see 'em pick and grin
Well everybody starts movin' to the sound of the guitar strums
Everybody starts groovin' to the beat of the rhythm and drums
So come on along get yourself really on rock to the music and fun
Sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song
Old sheriff Brown whenever comes around knockin' on a cold backdoor
It's a matter of fact you can find him outback pickin' on his old banjo
My brother Jack sneaks out from the back tryin' to get to sister Sue
Watch him closin' on the ground about turnin' around she knows a little jujitsu
Everybody starts movin'...
Everybody starts movin'...
Just sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song

13. _ Blue Bayou
I feel so bad I got a worried mi-ind
I'm so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind o-on Blue Bayou
Savin nickels, savin di-imes
Workin till the sun don't shine
Lookin forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou
I'm goin back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some o' my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again o-on Blue Bayou
Savin nickels, savin di-imes
Workin till the sun don't shine
Lookin forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou
I'm goin back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be
With that boy of mine by my side
The silver moo-oon and the evenin' tide
Some sweet day gonna take away-ay this hurtin inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true-ue
On Blue - Ba-you...

16. _ Stand by Your Man
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand.
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
even though he's hard to understand.
And if you love him Oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand By Your Man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely.
Stand By Your Man,
And tell the world you love him.
Giving all the love you can.
Stand By Your Man.
Stand By Your Man,
And show the world you love him.
Keep giving all the love you can;

17. _ I Fall to Pieces
(You walk by and I fall to pieces)
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
(You want me to act like we've never kissed)
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
Oh I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet you walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
(You want me to find someone else to love)
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new you walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

20. _ Rocky Top
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a man on Rocky Top half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still
Straingers ain't come down from Rocky Top I reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top the dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar
Rocky Top you'll always be...
[ banjo - steel ]
I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again
Rocky Top you'll always be...
Rocky Top Tennessee
