This is a story 'bout livin'
A tale of a long hard road Ain't a whole lot of misgivin's Of the things that I thought I sowed My daddy was a real hard worker He said son there will come a day Talk ain't always cheap And here's what daddy had to say With these hands I've made my livin' With these hands I've held a child With these hands I've climbed a mountain Sometimes we forget We ain't much different at all He likes grits, you like the apple There ain't nothin' wrong with that He says y'all, you say you'se It all depends on where you're at Well a little bit of music is a whole lot of fun And its always good for the soul From New York City out to California You know its only rock and roll With these hands we come together With these hands we can change the world With these hands I play my music Sometimes we forget We ain't much different at all Oh, not at all So what I'm trying to tell you Is that I'm only one son of the South Its gonna take more than you me and you To work this whole thing out With these hands I've made my livin' With these hands I've held a child With these hands I've climbed a mountain Sometimes we forget With these hands we come together With these hands we can change the world With these hands I play my music Sometimes we forget We ain't much different We ain't much different Ain't much different At all |

Two feets they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do And two bodies are lyin' naked Creeper think he got nothin' to lose So he creeps into this house, yeah And unlocks the door And while a man reaching for his trousers Shoots him full of .38 holes (Chorus) Its a Saturday night special Got a barrel that's blue and cold Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey And playing poker on a losin' night Pretty soon, Big Jim starts a thinkin' Somebody been cheatin' and lyin' So Big Jim commences to fightin' I wouldn't tell you no lie And Big Jim done grab his pistol Shot his friend right between the eyes (Chorus) Hand guns are made for killin' Ain't no good for nothin' else And if you like your whiskey You might even shoot yourself So why don't we dump 'em people To the bottom of the sea Before some fool come around here Wanna shoot either you or me |

Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow
Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou The old bayou There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine Wearing hand me down clothes, drinking homemade wine No one ever knew who her daddy was The people down here say it's all because She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake There's a city boy across the county line Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies But he found out different when he looked inher eyes Well he tried to run away but she had control He's findin' out now what everybody knows He knew it was over when she started to shake Now there's one more soul down on Voodoo Lake There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn A chill in the air, something wrong When a shadow crosses the ground Those long lost souls never make a sound You'd think by now they'd realize She'll never break her bayou ties She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake The keeper of souls down on Voodoo Lake Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake Daughter of the Devil, sister of a snake Voodoo Lake Down on Voodoo Lake, Down on Voodoo Lake You can see her down on Voodoo Lake |

Whiskey bottle and brand new cars,
oak tree, you're in my way. There's too much Coke and too much smoke. Look what's goin' on inside you. Oo-oo that smell, can't you smell that smell? Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you. Angel of darkness is upon you, stuck a needle in your arm. So take another toke, have a blow for your nose. One more drink, fool, will drown you. Oo-oo that smell, can't you smell that smell? Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you. Now they call you Prince Charming, can't speak a word when you're full of ludes. Say you'll be alright, come tomorrow but tomorrow might not be here for you. Oo-oo that smell, can't you smell that smell? Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you. One little problem that confronts you, got a monkey on your back. Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick. One hell of a price for you to get your kicks. Oo-oo that smell, can't you smell that smell? Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you. Oo-oo that smell, can't you smell that smell? Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you. |

Well, the bigger the city, well, the brighter the lights,
the bigger the dog, well, the harder the bite. I don't know where you been last night but I'm thinkin', mama, you ain't doin' right. Say, I know a little, I know a little 'bout it, I know a little, I know a little 'bout it. I know a little 'bout love, baby, I can guess the rest. Well, I don't read that daily news 'cause it ain't hard to figure why people gets the blues. If they can't dig what they can't use, if they'd stick to themselves they'd be much less abused. Say, I know a little, Lord, I do know a little 'bout it, I know a little, I know a little 'bout it. I know a little 'bout love, baby, I can guess the rest. Well, you want me to be your only man. Said, listen, mama, did you all I can. Do right, baby, by your man. Don't worry, mama, teach you all I can. Say, I know a little, Lord, I know a little 'bout it, I know a little, I know a little 'bout it. I know a little 'bout love and baby, I can guess the rest. Well, I know a little 'bout love. Baby, I want your best. |

I can still remember I was eight years old
The first time that I picked her up little did I know She's taken me to places that I've never been Did my first gig in a rock-n-roll band Berneice, sweet Berneice Get a real job let the guitar go There ain't no future in this rock-n-roll So go for your guitars, go for your guns Better think twice it's three against one Take your best shot it's a showdown now Berneice, sweet Berneice Oh, Berneice won't you play for me A guitar woman needs a guitar man One without the other, neither one of them can stand Remember where we came from we can do it all again So thanks to all you people, give youselves a hand Berneice, sweet Berneice Berneice, won't you play for me |

I was cutting a rug down at a place called the jug
With a girl named Linda Lou When in walked a man with a gun in his hand Looking at you-know-who He said Hey there fellow With the hair colored yellow What you tryin' to prove O Say That's my woman there and I'm a man who cares And this might be all for you I said Excuse me I ain't gonna fight him over this girl I was scared and fearing for my life Shakin' like a leaf on a tree Cause he was lean and mean and big and bad A-pointin' that gun at me Oh Wait a minute mister I didn't even kiss her Don't want no trouble with you And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me Ask one facor from you * Won't you gimme 3 steps Gimme 3 steps mister Gimme 3 steps towards the door Gimme 3 steps Gimme 3 steps mister You'll never see me no more That's for sure SOLO Well the crowd drew away and I began to pray And water fell on the floor And I'm a-tellin' you son It ain't no fun Starin' straight down a .44 Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou It's the break I was lookin' for You could hear me screamin' from a mile away "I was headed for the door" *Repeat |

Big wheels keep on turning,
Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the southland. I miss ole bamy once again and I think it's a sin. Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her. Well, I heard ole Neil put her down. Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don't need him around anyhow. * Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue. Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you. In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor. Now we all did what we could do. Now Watergate does not bother me. Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth. * Repeat Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they ve been known to pick a song or two. Lord, they get me off so much, They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you. * Repeat * Repeat |
