Dream On  (Dedicated To My Wife)

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Lived and learnd from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All these things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Mabye tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream On, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream On, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Same Old Song And Dance

Get yourself a cooler
Lay yourself low
Coincidental murder
With nothing to show
Well the judge's constipation
Will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation
He'll soon end up dead
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine
They found with your gun
No smoothy faced laywer
To get ya undone
Say love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend


Fate comes a-knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
Ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain
When it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty
From walkin' the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
And nothing to eat
Said love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Sweet Emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing other things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year
Some sweet talkin’ mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must a got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little to far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand

Walk This Way

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
Gonna talk to ya my daddy say
He said "You ain't seen noting
Till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can reminisce
'Cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
Of a swing like you didn't care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know her love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this

School girl skinny with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor
With a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss, like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
Of a swing like you didn't care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to Walk This Way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way

Last Child

(I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living back home)
Right!

Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
With paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' in the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
Just a punk in the streets
(Repeat)

Back In The Saddle

Chorus:
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for ol Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

Chorus

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more

Fools' gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, I really got a fistful
I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

Chorus

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high already

Draw The Line

Checkmate honey
Beat you at your own damn game
No dice honey
I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground
Your head's going down the drain
Heads I win, tails you lose
To the never mind
That's where I Draw The Line

An indian summer
Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner
And rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night
And wrong all the right out of me
Pass me the vile and cross your fingers
It don't take time

Know where to Draw The Line

High ho Silver, we were singing all the cowboy songs
You told Carrie
And promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose
Lord it's such a crime
No dice honey
You're salt, you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey
You're the only one who's got to choose

Where to Draw The Line

Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right
Impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss, the toss
The price, the dice
Grab yourself a slice

Know where to Draw The Line
(Repeat)

Kings And Queens

Long ago in days untold
Were ruled by lords of greed
Maidens fair, with gold they dared
To bare their wombs that bleed
Kings And Queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchments laid the laws
When bishops took the ride
Only to deceive

Oh I know I
Lived this life before
Somehow I know now
Truths I must be sure
Tossin' turnin', nightmares burnin'
Dreams of swords in hand
Sailing ships, the Viking spits
The blood of father's land

Only to deceive

Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
Living other centuries
Deja vú or what you please
Follows true to all who do or die
Screams of no reply
They died
Screams of no reply
And died
Lordy, Lordy, they died

Come Together

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got goo-goo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toejam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you
Is you got to be free

(Chorus)
Come Together
Right Now
Over me

He bag production
He got walrus gumboat
He got oh, no sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease

(Chorus)

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good lookin'
'Cause he's so hard to see

(Repeat Chorus)

Remember (Walking In The Sand)

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came from me

It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What should I do

Chorus:
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
Remember, walking in the sand
Remember, walking hand in hand
Remember, the night was so exciting
Remember, her smile was so inviting
Remember, the she touched me cheek
Remember, with her fingertips
Remember, softly
Softly we met with a kiss

Whatever happened to
The gal that I once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
The night I gave it to you
What did I do with the night
Oh...

Chorus

Whatever happened to
That girl that I once knew
That girl that said, she was true
Whatever happened to
That night I gave it to you
What would you do with the night
