Big City Blues
03:43
|
|||
Livin' in the country sure feels fine
You got your bootleg liquor and your homemade wine.
I got those Big City Blues
Big city blues got a hold of my shoes.
The dealers are dealin', the rats are still squeelin'
The sirens are screaming from the south side of town.
I got those big city blues
Big city blues got a hold of my shoes.
Big city blues.........It's time to cut loose.
By the snow in my eyes I'd say the weatherman lies
He's just an everyday Joe in a showbiz disguise.
I got those big city blues
Big city blues got a hold of my shoes.
I'm runnin' for the bus with a huff and a puff
That city bus driver don't give a flyin'.....aahh man
I got those big city blues
Big city blues got a hold of my shoes
Big city blues.......It's time to cut loose.
Well the folks I meet out livin' on the street
They got no roofs on their head they got no shoes on their feet.
They got those big city blues
Big city blues, got a hold of my shoes
Big city blues.........It's time to cut loose.
Big city blues.........It's tiime to cut loose.

Some find the bottle on a slippery slope
Some find the needle full of nasty dope
Some find lonely at the end of a rope
Some find faith and never give up hope.
Chorus
How you gonna deal with it when it all goes down
How you gonna deal with it when your turn comes around
Got to pick up the pieces, it ain't always nice
Keep the puzzle together, no matter what the price.
Man goes to work each day does his 9-5
He ain't happy to be there but he's glad to be alive
One day the boss comes in, says come gather round
Their moving to Mexico, their leaving this town.
Chorus
Sitting round the table with family and friends
Talking about the good old days and tying up loose ends
There's one more empty chair, one more spirit born
One more flower and one more thorn.
Chorus
Some find the bottle on a slippery slope
Some find the needle full of nasty dope
Some find lonely at the end of a rope
Some find faith and never give up hope.

Rock It
03:18
|
|||
You gotta rock it, you gotta roll it
You gotta twist and shout until you can't control it.
You got the rhythm, you got the blues
You got a feeling, it's deep down in your shoes.
You gotta dance, you'll find romance
Get off the wall boy, you might only get one chance.
It's midnight, your feeling allright
You've had some juice, your feeling loose
And this is your night.
You got the rhythm, you got the blues
You got a feeling, it's deep down in your shoes.
You gotta dance, you'll find romance
Get off the wall boy, you might only get one chance.
Get yourself out on the dance floor
Shake what you got and then shake some more
Show them ladies..... what you got.
You gotta rock it, you gotta roll it
You gotta twist and shout until you can't control it.
You got the rhythm, you got the blues
You got a feeling, it's deep down in your shoes.
You gotta dance, you'll find romance
Get off the wall boy, you might only get one chance.
Get yourself out on the dance floor
Shake what you got and then shake some more
Show them ladies..... what you got.
You gotta dance, get off the wall boy
You might only get one chance
Got to find love and romance
Get on that floor and go dance
You got to rock it !

How Long Was I Out
03:55
|
|||
Is this love that's got me worn so thin
I look in the mirror, is that me in this skin
I had to look a little deeper, to find that me within.
How long was I out and where have I been.
I've been walking on stones laid out before you
Now I know that ain't the way to the truth no no
The path that leads me to you isn't littered with yesterdays news
How long was I out and where have I been
How long was I out
Was that you that tried to drop me a line
The phone was ringing, I didn't make it on time
If your trying to tell me someting
You better give me some kind of sign
How long was I out and where have I been
How long was I out
Where have I been
How long was I out

Crazy 'Bout You Baby
04:11
|
|||
Well I've heard about you baby for a long long time
I said I've heard about you baby for a long long time
And since I've heard about you baby I can't get you out of my mind.
I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying
I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying
I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I can't get you out of my mind.
I was sold when I met you, sold way down the line
I was sold when I met you, sold way down the line
I was sold when I met you and I can't get you out of my mind.
I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying
I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying
I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I can't get you out of my mind.

Ship Of Fools
04:36
|
|||
I wake up in the morning with the light shining in my eyes
I wake up in the morning and put on my thin disguise
And I realize you're a lot like me
On this ship of fools and this great big sea.
A new day is dawning and the light is shining in your eyes
A new day is dawning, I see through your thin disguise
And I realize you're a lot like me
On this ship of fools on this great big sea.
A new moon is rising, September is almost gone
A new moon is rising, it will be December before too long
And I realize you're a lot like me
On this ship of fools on this great big sea.

Rock N Roll Dancer
03:23
|
|||
Chorus
Well she's a Rock n Roll dancer
If you got the blues, she's got the answer
A rock n roll dancer, a good old time romancer
So get out of your seats, get up your feet
And shake that thing to the boogie woogie beat.
Give me the blues any day of the week
Cry me a river I got tears on my cheek
But when the day is done and I punch the clock
Get out of my way I was born to rock
Heading to the city with my little kittie
Look out boys she's more than just pretty
Chorus
Well we went to the club just the other night
The place was jumpin', it was out of sight
The crowd was loose and the band was tight
Ready to blow like dynomite
We barely made it through the door
And my baby's dancing on the old dance floor
Chorus
She likes to boogie, she likes to boogie, she likes to boogie.....
Chorus
I left the city where I come from
Had a real swell time being on the run
Couldn't shake the monkey off of my back
Couldn't win the race or even find the track
Around the bend and just before the end
I got me a woman and a new best friend.
Chorus

Streets Of My Hometown
04:19
|
|||
Chorus
I'm going back to where I started
The streets of my hometown.
I'm going back to where I started
The streets of my hometown.
I'm going to take the one I love
And we are going to settle down.
I was raised up in the country with my daddy's black cadillac
I was raised up in the country with my daddy's black cadillac
I had too many chickens in my barnyard baby
And a rooster on my back.
Chorus
I went down to New York City in a suit and a stetson hat.
I went down to New York City in a suit and a stetson hat.
They chased me out of town
After the deal went flat.
Chorus
I spent some time in Nashville with a guitar on my back
Then I jumped a line to Knoxville, got a house right beside the tracks
But I couldn't write a song
In that two room country shack.
Chorus

Boozin' The Blues
03:36
|
|||
It's cold and it's lonely and the sun is on the rise
The wind is a howlin' I got blood in my eyes
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues.
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues.
You done me wrong, I can't understand
I got a broke down heart, it's right here in my hand
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
It may not be the right thing, this boozin' the blues
But it's the one thing, I know how to do
We both had a good thing but now it's gone..
And I'm
Leaving this morning on that southbound plane
Leaving this morning I won't be feeling no pain
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
I've seen you out with your man on the town
Laughing and joking and it's bringing me down
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
I've been up all night, boozin' the blues
We both had a good thing but now it's gone
And I'm...
