"Fist City" By: Loretta Lynn
You've been makin' your braggs around town
That you've been a lovin' my man
But the man I love
When he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me
And what I see's a pitty
You better close you face and stay outta my way
If you don't wanna go to fist city.

Chorus:
If you don't wanna go to fist city
You better detour around my town
'Cause I'll grab a you by the hair a the head
And I'll lift off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby's at saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off a my man
If you don't want to go to fist city.

Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get to cute or witty
You better move your feet
If you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called fist city.

Repeat Chorus

I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
If you don't wanna go to fist city.

Tonight, at night we get married
My friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
And he's loved every woman in Jackson
Oh, but Jackson ain't a very big place.

Tomorrow we'll go walkin'
I count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky
'Cause Jackson ain't a very big place.

Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossips and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town.

--- Instrumental ---

Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossips and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town...

Don't you think it's a little too late to show those tears
Just look out the way you're treatin' me all these years
I'm a full grown woman but you're treatin' me like a kid
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did.

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that past I'm learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did.

--- Instrumental ---

Far as I'm concerned you can turn and walk out that door
'Cause the way we'd made it don't make it with me no more
Where your head used to lay there's another head there instead
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did.

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that past I'm learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did.

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did...

I'm packin' up my old suitcases
To go see old familiar faces
Give me blue skies
And sunny Texas weather.

I crave the smell of good ole saddle leather
I've got Texas in my heart
I've got a lotta friends in Amarrilo
I like Dallas, Forth Worth, Houston, San Antone.

Got a pinin' in my heart to be in Texas
I've said I'll wind up makin' it my home
I'm packin' up my old suitcases
To go see old familiar faces.

The Lone Star State
Has won my heart doggone it
And long horn steak with lots of ketchup on it
I've got Texas in my heart.

--- Instrumental ---

I love the western way they grab in Texas
Where that Lone Star hat is mighty plain
You can bet your boots and saddle, I love Texas
Gonna hang and to go back there again.

I'm packin' up my old suitcases
To go see old familiar faces
Give me blue skies and sunny Texas weather
I crave the smell of good old saddle leather
I've got Texas in my heart.

(The eyes of Texas are upon you)
I've got Texas in my heart...

It's late, almost morning, you just walk in the door
Don't bother explaining, I've heard it all before
Just turn around and leave me, I've made up my mind
That I'll never lose you for you never were mine.

I'll hurt if you leave me but I'll hurt if you'd stay
My heart knows no difference, it would break either way
They all say I've lost you, but someday they'll find
That I didn't lose you for you never were mine.

I can't say that's over it never did start
Guess I lose my mind after losin' my heart
Oh no, I'm not cryin', I've had too much wine
How can I lose you when you never were mine?

Oh no, I'm not cryin', I've had too much wine
How can I lose you when you never were mine?...

I just heard the saddest news somebody's back in town
And I know just what she's gonna do
She'll pick up what she left off her last time around
Oh, how it hurts to keep on losin' you.

Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me
The fear I've had so long is now reality
The only chance I have is when she throws you down
My chance is gone somebody's back in town.

--- Instrumental ---

I know that I can't change your way, we've been through that before
Her trap is set and you will walk right in
She only wants of love an up-affair and nothing more
And you're just fool enough to fall again.

Somebody's back in town why can't she stay away
You should know she never loved you anyway
She'll let you live a little then she'll throw you down
Sad news today somebody's back in town...

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

--- Instrumental ---

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When life has ended and time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind...

(How long will it take)

How long will it take to make you need me?
I keep a waitin' and a wonderin' how long will it take.
Well, you keep a tellin' me, your love I'm winnin'
Then you turn right around and you treat me hard and cold.

Well, I ain't got but one life here I'm livin'.
So if you're gonna love me baby I've gotta know
(How long will it take?)
How long will it take to make you want me?
How much longer has this old heart gotta break?
(How long will it take?)

How long will it take to make you need me?
I keep a waitin' and a wonderin' how long will it take.

--- Instrumental ---

Now, there ain't a thing on earth that don't need a lovin'
And baby I'm no exception to the rule
But if you keep a puttin' everything above me
Well, how in this world will I ever get through to you?

(How long will it take to make you need me?
I keep a waitin' and a wonderin' how long will it take...

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)

Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But somethin' didn't seem quite right today.

So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him.

I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun
I watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun
I watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye...

It's a breakin' day and here you come
With eyes as red as far
You tell me that you've done nothin'
And you don't know how right you are.

With the little home chores you used to do
And they've all gone to pot
So I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot.

I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot
After all I'm gonna take
And honey, that's a lot.

Well, you used to think you's the only man
But I found out you're not
So I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot.

--- Instrumental ---

I used to keep the home fire burnin'
But I let 'em all go out
So don't hand me that

Now this old house is a gettin' cold
And I'm a goin' where the climate's hot
So I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot.

I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot
After all I'm gonna take
And honey, that's a lot.

Well, you used to think you's the only man
But I found out you're not
So I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot.

I'm a schootin' for tomorrow
'Cause today's already shot...

You want me to prove my love for you
I'm surprised that's the way you're askin' me to
You've known me so long I can't understand
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

--- Instrumental ---

What kind of a girl would do the things
You're askin' me to without wedding rings
Is it what you must do to prove you're a man
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am...
