In Spite Of Ourselves
  1. (We're Not) The Jet Set

  2. So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)

    We used to have good times together
    But now I feel them slip away
    It makes me cry to see love die
    So sad to watch good love go bad
    Remember how we used to feel dear
    You said nothing could change you mind
    It breaks my heart to see us part
    So sad to watch good love go bad
    Is it any wonder that I feel so blue
    When I know for certain that I'm losing you
    Remember how we used to feel dear
    You said nothing could change your mind
    It breaks my heart to see us part
    So sad to watch good love go bad
    So sad to watch good love go bad



  3. Wedding Bells/Let's Turn Back the Years

    I got the invitation that you sent me,
    You wanted me to see you change your name
    I couldn't stand to see you wed another
    But dear I hope you're happy just the same
    I planned a little cottage in the valley,
    I even bought that little band of gold
    I thought some day I'd place it on your finger,
    But now the future looks so dark and cold
    Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
    That should be ringing now for you and me
    Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
    Those wedding bells with never ring for me
    Darling, let's turn back the years
    And go back to yesterday
    Let's pretend that time has stopped
    And I didn't go away
    We had our love to make us happy
    Love wasn't meant to bring us tears
    Love like ours should never die
    So, darling, let's turn back the years
    I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
    A blossom from and orange tree in your hair
    While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"
    Just let me pretend that I am there
    Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
    That should be ringing now for you and me
    Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
    Those wedding bells with never ring for me
    Those wedding bells with never ring for me
  4. When Two Worlds Collide

    Your world was so different from mine, don't you see
    And we couldn't be close, though we tried
    We both reached for heavens, but ours weren't the same.
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    Your world was made up of things sweet and good
    My world could never fit in, I wish it could
    Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    Your world was made up of things sweet and good
    My world could never fit in, I wish it could
    Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
    A blossom from and orange tree in your hair
    While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"
    Just let me pretend that I am there
    Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
    That should be ringing now for you and me
    Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
    Those wedding bells with never ring for me
    Those wedding bells with never ring for me
  5. Milwaukee Here I Come

    I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
    I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
    Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
    Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
    Milwaukee is where we were before we came here
    Working in a brewery making the finest beer
    You came to me on a payday night said let's go to Tennessee
    So we drove to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry
    I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
    I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
    Which one you want the most those Opry stars or me
    Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
    We were watching TV Ernest Tubb was singing loud
    I said that's the man for me I love him, there's no doubt
    I'm leaving you and going now to find out where he's at
    If I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt.
    I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
    I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
    Which one you want the most
    Me or Jerry Lee
    Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
    Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
  6. I Know One

    When all your loves have ended
    When all your friends have flown
    Who'll be around to want you
    When all your loves have gone
    Only a fool would do it
    After the way you've done
    But how many fools would have you I know one
    This fool keeps wonderin' why
    He fell in love at all
    But you might need this fool
    Around in case you fall
    After the party's over
    And you've had your fill of fun
    If you need a fool to forgive you I know one
    You never know, you might be lonely
    When all your loves have missed
    It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra
    Fool on your list.
    After your heart's been broken
    And you need a place to run
    If you'll take a fool who loves you
    I know one
    I know one
    I know one
  7. It's a Cheating Situation

    It's a cheating situation
    A stealing invitation
    To take what's not really ours
    To make it through the midnight hours
    It's a cheating situation Just a cheap imitation
    Doing what we have to do 
    When there's no love at home
    There's no use in pretending 
    There'll be a happy ending
    Where our love's concerned 
    Sweetheart, we both know
    We'll take love where we find it
    Love and try to hide it
    It's all we got
    For we know they're not
    Gonna let us go
    It's a cheating situation
    A stealing invitation
    To take what's not really ours
    To make it through the midnight hours
    It's a cheating situation
    Just a cheap imitation
    Doing what we have to do
    When there's no love at home
    It's a cheating situation 
    When there's no love at home
  8. Back Street Affair

    You didn't know I wasn't free
    When you fell in love with me
    And with all your young heart you learned to care
    It brought you shame and disgrace
    The world has tumbled in your face
    'Cause they call our love a back street affair
    They say I wrecked your home,
    You're a husband that's gone wrong
    They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear
    For the one I'm tied to 
    was the first to prove untrue
    Now they call our love a back street affair
    We have each other now,
    That's all that matters anyhow
    For the judgment of gossip's never fair
    We'll just be brave and strong
    Then someday they'll see they're wrong
    Let 'em call our love a back street affair
    We'll be free to love someday
    When all the talk has died away
    and the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
    We'll climb a mountain high,
    then the world will hear us cry
    That our love was not a back street affair
    No, our love was not a back street affair
  9. Loose Talk

    So long we've been married
    Life's burdens we carried
    Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
    But plans that we make up
    Someone seems to break up
    Oh, darlin', what else can we do?
    We may have to leave here
    To find peace of mind, dear
    Someplace where we can live a life of our own
    I know you love me And happy we could be
    If some folks would leave us alone
    When I go out walkin'
    There's lots of loose talkin'
    They say we're unhappy, and we'll drift apart
    But darlin' it's not true
    Because I still love you
    And I do with all of my heart
    They say you are leavin'
    That you are deceivin'
    But you tell me they say the same about me
    Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong
    That loose talk can do harm
    And hope that the truth they will see
    We may have to leave here
    To find peace of mind, dear
    Someplace where we can live a life of our own
    I know you love me
    And happy we could be
    If some folks would leave us alone
    If some folks would leave us alone
  10. Let's Invite Them Over

    I know why you're lonely
    And I know why you're blue
    You're lonesome to see him
    And you long to see her too
    We're not in love with each other
    We're in love with our best friends
    So let's invite them over again
    We've talked it over and over
    And we know it's not right
    We should stay away forever
    But we're lonesome each night
    Yes we stay away for a while
    But we know in the end
    We'll invite them over again
    We've talked it over and over
    And we know it's not right
    We should stay away forever
    But we're lonesome each night
    Yes we stay away for a while
    But we know in the end
    We'll invite them over again
    Let's invite them over again
  11. 'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose

    Darling, I can see the clouds around you
    And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
    But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you
    'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
    Dearest love, I know your heart been shattered
    And all my words can offer no relief
    But my love will heal the pain you've suffered
    And I'll be here if you should turn to me
    I deepest night when memories tend to gather
    Lay with me and put your fears to sleep
    'Cause there's no pain no dream can put asunder
    All the love that binds us you and me
    Darling, I can see the clouds around you
    And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
    But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you
    'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
    'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
  12. In a Town This Size

    In a town this size, there's no place to hide
    Everywhere you go you meet someone you know
    You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
    How the rumors do fly in a town this size

    In a smokey bar in the backseat of your car
    In your own little house someone's sure to find you out
    What you do and what you think
    What you eat and what you drink
    If you smoke a cigarette they'll be talkin' about your breath

    In a town this size, there's no place to hide
    Everywhere you go you meet someone you know
    You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
    How the rumors do fly in a town this size

    Oh, I had a fight with my girlfriend last night
    Before the moon went down it was all over town
    How he made me cry how I said goodbye
    If it's true or not doesn't seem to count a lot 

    In a town this size, there's no place to hide
    Everywhere you go you meet someone you know
    You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
    How the rumors do fly in a town this size
    In a town this size In a town this size
  13. We Could

    If anyone could find the joy
    That true love brings a girl and boy
    We could
    We could you and I
    If anyone could ever say
    Their true love was here to stay
    We could
    We could you and I
    When you're in my arms
    I know you're happy to be there
    And just as long as I'm with you
    I'm happy anywhere
    If anyone could pray each night
    To thank the Lord that all is right
    We could
    We could you and I
    When you're in my arms
    I know you're happy to be there
    And just as long as I'm with you
    I'm happy anywhere
    If anyone could pray each night
    To thank the Lord that all is right
    We could
    We could you and I
    We could
    We could you and I
  14. We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds

    We said our goodbyes long ago
    Never thinking we'd miss each other so
    All the memories we can't leave behind
    Oh, we must have been out of our minds
    I thought I loved another, not you
    How foolish I thought the same, too
    They both turned out to be the wrong kind
    Oh, we must have been out of our minds
    Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
    And reap together the wild seeds we've sown
    Surely they can forgive us and find
    That we must have been out of our minds
    I thought I loved another, not you
    How foolish I thought the same, too
    They both turned out to be the wrong kind
    Oh, we must have been out of our minds
    Yes, we must have been out of our minds
  15. In Spite of Ourselves

    She don't like her eggs all runny
    She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
    She looks down her nose at money
    She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
    She's my baby I'm her honey
    I'm never gonna let her go
    He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
    I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
    He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
    Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
    He's my baby
    And I'm his honey
    Never gonna let him go
    In spite of ourselves
    We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
    Against all odds
    Honey, we're the big door prize
    We're gonna spite our noses
    Right off of our faces
    There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
    Dancin' in our eyes.
    She thinks all my jokes are corny
    Convict movies make her horny
    She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
    Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
    She takes a lickin'
    And keeps on tickin'
    I'm never gonna let her go.
    He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
    He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
    Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
    Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
    He's my baby I don't mean maybe
    Never gonna let him go
    In spite of ourselves
    We'll end up a sittin' on a rainbow
    Against all odds
    Honey, we're the big door prize
    We're gonna spite our noses
    Right off of our faces
    There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
    Dancin' in our eyes.
    There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
    Dancin' in our eyes.
    (Spoken) In spite of ourselves
  16. Dear John ( I Sent Your Saddle Home)

    When I woke up this morning
    There was a note upon my door
    Saying " Don't make me no coffee, Babe
    Cause I won't be back no more"
    And that's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
    Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale
    Daniel in the lion's den
    I know a guy that didn't try to get along
    And he won't get a chance again
    That's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
    She didn't forward no address
    No she never said goodbye
    All she said was "If you get blue
    Just hang your little head and cry"
    That's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
    Now my gal's short and stubby
    She's mean as she can be
    If that little old gal of mine
    Ever gets a hold of me
    That's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I fetched your saddle home"
    Went down to the bank this morning
    The cashier said with a grin
    I'm sorry for you Little John
    But your wife has done been in
    That's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
    That's all she wrote
    "Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
