Back In The Dog HouseWith things alright for a little while
But then the story of my life
Was gonna wipe that smile
You heard the born of a bad sign
And a baba black sheep
With me in trouble
I always think that was me
ChiggersLeave me alone little chiggers
Don't lay your babies on my leg
Leave me alone little chiggers
Obvious one thing Lord I beg
Hear me beg ya all
Hear me beg ya all
Hear me beg ya all
Cut my wingsCut my wings
Shot me down I cannot fly
Cut my wings
Shot me down I cannot fly
When I lay my head down
On my bed (?) I sure do cry
DarkI like the dark
It is my friend
There at beginnin's
It'll be there at the end
I like my own
Conquer me
That way it's easier
Dog House Boogie(Here come the 3-string Trance Wonder!
We gon' do the Dog House Boogie!)
(Oh yeah)
All my life I been in the dog house
I guess that just where I belong
That just the way the dice roll
Don't Know Why She Love Me But She DoI don't know why she love me like she do
She's full of lightning through and through
She's my gold mine, she's my diamond mine
She's my buried treasure, lord, it's true
I don't know why she love me like she do
She's drop dead beautiful
Smart as a whip when she's in school
Drinking ThunderGoing up north
Doing it potatoes
Straight down to Callie
Here come the maders
SB to the jungle
Old SB
Under the ukulele,
Thats the life for me.
Prospect Lane[Spoken:]
Sometimes people ask me what it was like riding the trains
Kinda boring most of the time you'd be waiting and such
Here's some other things.
[Sung:]
Woah waiting for the train today yesterday just the same
Woah waiting for the train down at the end of Prospect Lane
Save MeSave me from this way
It be killing me
Yeah, I been sitting here dreaming
Yeah, one day, of being free
Save me, save me, save me, oh save me
Save me from this girl
She be, killing me
Started Out With Nothin'I can't lose what I never had
You can't take what I ain't got
When I'm happy, you won't make me sad
Depending on you all
Well I'm not
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left
That's AllTrapped, like a rat
I was cold, thats a fact
A piece of this cell
Four square foot of hell
And I eat, their food
Although it aint no good
I mark all the days
The LetterGimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
'Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.
I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
Things Go UpThang go up,
Thang go down,
Everything thang goes out come back around,
Treat someone like a dog it'll come back,
Come back and bite you and that's a fact.
(humming)
TreasuresWhen I walk down your street
Through your barred windows you look at me
And you wonder, have I come to ask
For one of your precious things that do not last
All your treasures
All your treasures
You think you know me but you don't know
That there's more to this picture than that shows
Underneath A Blue And Cloudless SkyWaited so long just to find you
Feel like I've wasted half of my life
I might've wasted one head
But I won't waste the other out right
Won't be no bed of roses but there be a bed
Won't be no fancy wedding
But you'll get wed
You Can't Teach An Old Dog New TricksThere must be something wrong with me
What it is I can't quite see
I can't seem to do nothing right
never need to change my style
Been this way for a long long while
Maybe there's a few things I ought to fix
Can you teach an old dog new tricks
