- A Couple More Years
I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
A couple a more years on you babe and that's all
Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
- Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
Lord it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It's been the same way for years
We need to change
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
- Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to L.A.
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
- Delia's gone
Delia, oh Delia, where have you been so long?
Everybody's talkin' 'bout Delia they say she's done me wrong
They took my Delia to the graveyard, took her in a long black hearse
If I hadn't shot my poor Delia I believe she'd have got me first
Delia's gone
Went down to the graveyard to look at my Delia's face
I said, Delia girl how I love you and I wish I could take your place
- Don't Cuss the Fiddle
I scandalized my brother
While admittin' that he sang some pretty songs (and he did)
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
And, Lord, I knew that that was wrong (and I was)
Now I'm lookin' at it over
Something cool and feelin' fool enough to see
What I had called my brother on
Now he had every right to call on me
- Don't think Twice,It's Alright
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
Don't think twice it's all right
- Dont Think Twice
Ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
Ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm travelin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
- Good Hearted Woman
A long time forgotten the dreams that just fell by the way
The good life he promised ain't what she's livin' today
But she never complains of the bad times
Or the bad things he's done, lord
She just talks about the good times they've had
And all the good times to come
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
- Good Ol' Boys
Just good ol` boys
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born
Straightenin` the curves
Flattenin` the hills
Someday the mountain might get`em
- Hardline
Midnight, street light,
Shadows, touch your face
Whisper, goodnight,
Though I want you so, to stay.
I'm standing on the hardline,
Taking my sweet time
Praying that you'll see why,
- I Can Get off on You
Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby
Take back the pills, take back the whiskey too
I don't need 'em now, your love was all I was after
I'll make it by, I can get off on you
I can get by on little or nothing at all
I can get high baby, just thinkin' about your good lovin'
Well, it's true
- I've Always Been Crazy
I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone
I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
- If You Can Touch Her at All
Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold.
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none Lord I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
- Jolie Blonde
Woman, let me sing you a song
Woman, let me sing you a song
That tells how you’ve done me wrong , so it’s your fault if it’s long
Woman let me sing you a song
Well, the neighbors all say, I run around
Yeah, the neighbors all say, I run around
But baby, if I do, I’m still miles in back off you
- Just To Satisfy You
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts must break,how many will it take
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you
Another love,another fool
To play your game
Another love,another fool
- Lookin' for a Feeling
I'm looking for a feeling
That I once had with you
Looking for a feeling
I have grown accustomed to
I've had love and I've had lovers
But they never seem to do
I keep looking for a feeling
That i lost when I lost you
- Lorena
The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again,
The sun's low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost gleams where the flowers have been.
But my heart beats on as warmly now,
As when the summer days were nigh,
The sun can never dip so low,
Or down affections cloudless sky.
- Mental Revenge
I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with
He gets drunk and loses his job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty, rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all, if the curtain should fall
- Old Church Hymns And Nursery Rhymes
Blow on you restless wind
Up to your old tricks again
Bear down you Texas sun
You make the desserts dry
And the brush fires run
Splintered wood, rusty chains
This old front porch swing remains
- Outlaw Shit
I'm for law and order, way that it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
New York sent a posse down like I ain't never seen
Don't you think this outlaw shit has gotten out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
- Pick Up the Tempo
Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my Saviour
And little they know that the beat oughta go a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
- Rainy Day Woman
Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
That woman of mine, she ain't happy
'Til she finds something wrong and someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
Woke up this mornin' to the sunshine
It sure as hell looks just like rain
- Right For The Time
Almost out of adolescence and into a world we didn't know
Not necessarily love but in trouble with a fire down below
Looking back for a feeling it's just something far away and long ago
I can still recall the name but she's really someone I don't even know
But she was right for the time
She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on
- Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
you've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh ruby
Don't take your love to town
- The dark side of fame
Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home
In search of the phantom of fame
She promised she'd wait but he got back too late
Just a scene from the dark side of fame.
In the wrong frame of mind he took to the wine
Holding pieces of love's broken chain
It was colder than jade in this world that he'd made
- The Eagle
E
Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone
D A E
I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown
My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye
D A E
Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies
- The Year 2003 Minus 25
E
Welcome to 2003 minus 25
B7
Oh, say can you smell her for the smoke
God's still up there laughin' so He's gotta be alive
E
Who says He can't take a dirty joke
- Waltz Across Texas
When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
When you look at me girl with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
- White Lightnin'
#
In North Carolina, way back in the hills,
there lived my Pappy and he had him a still.
He brewed white lightning till the sun was down,
and then he'd fill him a jug, and pass it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
called, white Lightning.
- White Lightning
Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning 'til the sun went down,
And then he'd fill him a jug mmm-hmm and pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's home-squeezin'
Bwsh, white lightnin'
[Chorus]
