Takin' My Time
03:51
|

|
Takin' my time with a heavy load
Don't worry, I'm still truckin' down the road
Sooner or later I'll get to the line
But it's a heavy load
So I'm takin' my time

Sweet Georgia Sweet
04:23

She was on the street in Denver
And she was playing that old hustle tune
She was looking so sweet and tender
But, she was hard from the rat race
And the men in her room
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time
He used to work at a bar in Memphis
So, he was used to the women
Who came in looking for someone to take them
On the merry-go-round to riches and fame
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time
Every once in a while I wonder
What it's like to be travelling free
Then I look out my window and find her
There hitching a ride at a quarter to three
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time

The Flood
05:11
|

|
It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still
Like the wail of the engine
Of a hungry railroad train
Came the wind, oh a'howling
Through the air and through my brain
It was like you can't imagine
To run would be in vain
Just grab ahold of something
Before you float away
It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still
Now, the truth of the matter
If the truth is to be told
All the lives that get shattered
Bring another man his gold
And the forces of nature
With all it's fame and awe
Chooses who, who will suffer
And who will take the fall
It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still

Fast Movin Day
03:48
|
|||
|
Fast movin day wonders why I miss her so
Slow movin night, he know
Bottle of wine gets me to the telephone
Begging my baby, "Come home"
All alone and missing you
It feels so bad
Wonder how I get this low
I'd give a million dollars to be back in your arms
Baby, why'd you have to go?
One little kiss could get me through another day
Honey, can't you manage that?
Life would be bliss if you would only look my way
But dreaming won't bring you back
Dreaming won't bring you back

Mean Mama Blue

I got some mean mama blue
Got some mean, mean mama blue
I got some mean mama blue
Got some mean-mean mama blue
Cause you gone off and left me
And I've got nothing to lose
You say you don't cry for me
You don't cry for me at all
You say you don't cry for me
You don't cry for me at all
Well, go on, do more damage
Like you always done before
And kick me when I'm down, will ya
Kick me when I'm down
Squeeze that ball, baby
Kick me when I'm down
Hurt me when I'm hurtin'
And dig me in the ground
Well, how about screw that, honey
I don't need you singing my song
I said the hell with that, baby
Don't need you singing my song
I think I'll go south, drink some tequila
Maybe that's where I belong
Yeah, I think I'll go on down tequila land
Lay out by the sea
Maybe some fine senorita will want to take good care of me
Cause I got some mean mama blue
Got some mean-mean mama blue
Got some mean mama blue
Got some mean-mean mama blue
Cause you gone off and left me
And I got nothing to lose

Hot Tub In The Rain
05:26
|
|||
|
I went down to Austin
Just south enough from Dallas
To get out from all the hoopla and the strain
Somehow I wound up drinking
And contemplate my thinking
Down in Austin, in a hot tub, in the rain
Well, I took my songs there with me
I sang 'em somewhere near a garden
To a woman, I forget her name
But, I'm thinking maybe it was Anita
Well, anyway, she made life sweet'a
Down in Austin, in a hot tub, in the rain
Many miles of memory stretch before me as I speak
My hopes were high, I won't deny
I was a bit intrigued
Now, I'm no star in Texas, but I'll never be the same
After Austin, in a hot tub, in the rain
Yeah, and looking all back about it
You know, I learned a whole lot from it
Though, I did not find the money, nor the fame
But I've got it to remember
It was the last week in November
Down in Austin, in a hot tub, in the rain
Now on this road to I don't know where
I feel just like a stranger
Singing for my supper along the way
But, I'll bet my reputation
On that style of recreation
Down in Austin, in a hot tub, in the rain

Last Time I'd Prevail
04:29
|
|||
|
It took my soul a bit of time
To understand why it was crying
It took my heart a little more to get well
But, with some time
After a while
I was wearing a big smile
And it would not be the last time I'd prevail
I was down for a time
Oh, my misery was sublime
And it would not be the first time that I failed
So I put my feet on the ground
And I turned my luck around
And it would not be the last time I'd prevail

Song For David
04:06
|

|
I'm a long way walking down a dusty road
And I'm looking for a friend of mine
Where he's headed, baby, I don't know
But I think he wants to have a good time
He got a bottle of spiced rum with him
He be nippin' every once in a while
He kinda partial to finger-type of pickin'
But he don't want to cramp your style
Don't want to cramp your style
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you get your peace, well, that's how life goes
I'm bareback riding down a twisty lane
And there's a bend about every mile
Some of them places got a whole lot of pain
And some are gonna getcha to smile
You may get tired, even stone soul weary
But don't ever lay your head down too long
There's just so much waitin' round the corner
You best be gettin' up and be gone
Be gettin' up and gone
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes
A whole globe full of people stepping on the same stones
Got to reach the other side
Some of them make it like they're truckin' down the road
And some will step a stone at a time
But it doesn't matter which way you do it
If you've got someone's love to take you through it
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes

Double Shot Of Rye
03:24
|
|||
|
These ain't the hardest time I've been through
But they ain't so easy, neither, that is true
But with the help of the Lord
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will better
You just wait and see
I used to work for my daddy
Now I work my fingers down for the man
But, neither one can help me with my trouble
So I guess I'll have to do the best I can
One man rich, and one man poor
One man headed for the promised door
One man steals and one man gives
One man die while the other lives
Brother, do you know what I'm saying
You know that life is like a double shot of rye
Oh, you work up the courage to inhale it
And when you drink it down, you know that you've paid the price
These ain't the hardest times I've been through (no they ain't)
But they ain't so easy, neither, that is true
But with the help of the Lord (good Lord)
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will get better
You just wait and see
Yeah, with the help of the Lord
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will get better
You just wait and see
You just wait and see
You just wait and see

Ship Run Aground
04:03
|

|
I came down here just to sit and compare
Your loving with living alone
Because when I contemplate our many mistake
It's the loneliest feeling around, oh
Must be my ship's run aground
Because we've come apart from our lovely fresh start
And now it's only the remnants I've found
And these pieces I see are just the remnants of me
And it's the loneliest feeling around, oh
Must be my ship's run aground
Well, the moon, it shone like a thing all it's own
And the water reflected it's shine
And if we could be just like that, you and me
We could blow out the candles of time, yeah
We could blow out the candles of time
Ah, but we've come apart from our lovely fresh start
And now it's only the remnants I've found
And these pieces I see are just the remnants of me
And it's the loneliest feeling around, oh
Must be my ship's run aground
Oooh, I see you looking that way
Oooh, I see your face
But you don't have to turn the other cheek when I say
That I came down here just to sit and compare
Your loving with living alone, oh
Your loving with living
Your loving with living
Your loving with living alone

The day you left me, baby, you said you were gonna put me down
That lawyer you hired, she didn't mess around, no
You got all my money now, baby
Yeah, and you got the children too
I guess you went and got it all, now, didn't ya
But I got some real good blues
You got the washer
You got both the phones
You got my money, honey
You got the home, well
You went and got everything, baby
Everything but these clothes and these shoes
I guess you went and got it all, now, didn't ya
But I got some real good blues
I hear you got a new boyfriend, honey, and he's younger than you
I guess he does all those things, baby, that I used to do, well
You got the refrigerator

I guess you went and got it all, now, didn't ya
But I got some real good blues
Yeah, you got it all now, honey

That's When I Knew
03:45
|

|
What a thing to say when I first met you
I put my foot into my mouth a time or two
But you didn't put me down
You didn't walk away
You just kept listening to every word I'd say
That's when I knew you were the one and we were on our way
Makin' one good time every single day
Then you told a joke I'd heard before
But the way you told it made me laugh some more
And all the way back home
Just thoughts of you
That's when I knew, that's when I knew, that's when I knew
That's when I knew you were the one and we were on our way
Makin' one good time every single day
Then I couldn't sleep, or hardly at all
And I kept pacing up and down and round the hall
Then the telephone
Ah, and it was you
That's when I knew, that's when I knew, that's when I knew
That's when I knew you were the one and we were on our way
Makin' one good time every single day
That's when I knew, that's when I knew, that's when I knew
That's when I knew you were the one and we were on our way
Makin' one good time every single day
