Biography

Harlan Howard (1927-2002), a native of Detroit, was one of the most prolific and successful of the “old school” Nashville songwriters. While living and working in Los Angeles, he enjoyed a few minor successes, before the break-out hits “Pick Me Up On Your Way Down” and “Heartaches by the Number” led him to move to Nashville in 1960. There, he became an immediate success, his songs recorded by innumerable country artists.

    Lyrics
    He was born and raised around Jacksonville a nice young man not the kind to kill
    But the jealous fight and the flashing blade
    Sent him on the run through the everglades
    Runnin' like the dog through the everglades
    Well the Possy went in and he came back out

    Lyrics
    Now, I've got heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
    Every day you love me less, each day I love you more
    Heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win
    But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end
    And heartache number one was when you left me

    Lyrics
    He's an all American boy mama's pride and papa's joy
    Paper waddin' all the girls tiein' knots in sister's curles
    BB gunnin' passers by with a twinkle in his eye
    He's a youngster full of fun and we're proud to call him son
    He pushed grandma down the stairs and he knelt and said his prayers

    Lyrics
    She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
    And one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long
    She called me baby baby all night long kissed my tears away when things went wrong
    What I'd give if she'd just come back home and call me baby baby all night long
