Bye Bye Baby
(Halden Wofford)

I said bye, bye, baby, bye-bye
Give me one good reason why
I shouldn’t say bye, bye, baby, bye-bye
Be your good-night daddy tonight

You can walk that floor, slam the door
Believe me babe, I can’t take no more
Got my walking shoes, brand new sole
Well, a little bit of money and rock and roll
Living with you’s like living in hell
No matter what I try I always fail
Better get gone ‘cause I don’t want to land in jail

(My Other Car’s an) Appaloosa
(Halden Wofford)

You might be a cowboy
You might wear a hat
You might drive a pickup
Well I know about that
But if you’re a cowboy
Well then so am I
It’s hard to rope them dogies
In a suit and tie

Chorus
So when the weekend comes I’m a-bustin’ loose
I lose the suit and grab my boots
I drive from Tennessee down to Tuscaloosa
‘Cause my other car is an Appaloosa

If you’re a cowboy
And if you don’t mind
Give me the reins, boy
And let me ride
Into the sunset
On my trusty steed
I’ll park my Caddy
And leave you key

Yodelin’ Rhythm and Blues
(Halden Wofford)

Well, I got my bobby sox bopped when I was down in Texas
With a pretty little thing who said that Houston was her home
She had a tattoo on her heel
And you know how that makes me feel
She said oh, oh, daddy, won’t you sing me a yodelin’ song

Chorus
She was richly smooth, she could make you move
She said ooh, she said aah, she was out in the car
She said hey, she had ho, she said don’t go slow
I said what, I don’t know, she said
Yodel-ay-he-hoo, yodelin’ rhythm and blues

Well she acts real tough when we go out on weekends
She talks like a woman but she yodels just like a man
She’s got a sawbuck in her jeans
A Ben Franklin down in between
Those lovely little places where you know she never gets a tan

She likes Jimmie Rodgers but she loves Patsy Montana
She says that old Don Walser is a fellow with a lot wit
She puts a finger upside her nose
And gets a tickle in the back of her throat
She can yodel-ay-he-odel like the legendary Elton Britt

ABC
(Halden Wofford)

My baby’s teaching me to be
A guy that she wants me to be
A guy that she would like to see
She teaches me so tenderly
Simple steps, one and two and three
I am her little ABC

Chorus
I know that one day she will be my girl
I don’t know when that will be
When we’re together I’m on top of the world
She’s the only thing I see

Penny in the Fountain
(Kevin Yost)

Chorus
I should have thrown my own penny in the water, baby
Wishing on a moonlit night
I should have thrown my own penny in the water, baby
The one you give me didn’t do me right

I knew it was a long shot, baby
But for your love I had to try
I can see the odds are in your favor
You must have wished that you could see my cry

Long Gone
(Kevin Yost)

Chorus
I’ve been long gone since you left me
It’s much better than me staying here at home all alone
I’ve been long gone since you left me
Since the day you left, we’ve both been long gone

You’ve been making leaving plans for quite some time
All the time you were making yours, I was making mine
I’ll be darned if our departure dates weren’t exactly the same
I really didn’t go anywhere when you got on that plane

Little Sue
(Halden Wofford)

It takes a little while
To make my baby smile
But a little while ain’t nothing to me
I could wait all day
To hear my baby say
She would wait forever for me

Chorus
Well, well, I can always tell
When a girl wants me
Can’t you see
You all know it’s true
And all I’ve got to do
Is give a little kiss to Little Sue

After a short time
I took it as a a sign
Little Sue is true only to me
She will show some style
Walking down the aisle
Me and Little Sue will always be

New Lover’s Waltz
(Halden Wofford)

Where’d the time go
I can’t go home
There’s so much I wanted to say
Does everyone know
Do you think it still shows
Is it written all over my face

Chorus
I’ve said some things that I just shouldn’t say
Things that give me away
Things that just ain’t ok
You can forgive me
‘Cause it’s not my fault
Some steps are hard
In the new lover’s waltz

Is the night really through
It just can’t be true
I’ve hours of things left to say
Don’t look at me now
I just don’t know how
To say things that equal your gaze

Roll On
(Halden Wofford)

Chorus
She sang roll on Thunder, roll
She sang roll on Thunder, roll
She sang roll on Thunder, roll

She was 5 foot two, she was meaner than me
She had all the attitude that a girl might need
She had two left feet and her shoulders were low and wide
She had a car called Thunder with lightning down inside
She had a little piece of paper on the tip of her tongue
She would scream, she would yell at the top of her lungs
And you better get out of the way when she rolled on by
In a car called Thunder with lightning down inside

Let’s Make Believe
(Halden Wofford)

Let’s make believe
Let’s build a dream
A dream where you will always be
My life and love
My just because
Because I know it can never be

Chorus
And maybe you will agree
To wait
Wait until I can believe
Before my heart breaks

Let’s make believe
Let’s build a dream
A of lover that can never be

Just Don’t Care
(Kevin Yost)

I don’t know why you think that I still love you
I don’t know why you think that I still care
I don’t know why you think these tears I’m crying are for you
Want you to know, baby, I don’t care

Chorus
I don’t care if the sun comes up tomorrow
I don’t care if I ever wake again
I don’t care if the moon and stars fall from the sky
I want you to know, baby, I don’t care

I don’t know why you think that I’m so lonely
Could it be you’ve imagined my despair
I never knew that I could be so doggone happy without you
Want you to know, baby, I don’t care

I don’t know why I still can feel so lonely
I don’t know why I just sit here and start
I don’t know why I wake up nights and still call out your name
I want you to know, baby, I don’t care
