I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And, underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell And, in that southern moonlight she sang the song so well If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, we made all the hot spots - my money flowed like wine And then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, it's been a year since she ran away - guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along - she's always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland |

In 1966 I found my love In 1967 I had all there was And as my time went by I was satisfied Until that situation took me by surprise Now there's two trains runnin' - on that line One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine You know it would be all right, be just fine If the woman took one train, and left the other behind Illusion it is just the same conclusion I don't know how to play the game Of what it is or how it's going to be When one train is my friend and the other train is me Easy, Lord, I say easy, I can't push or shove that girl So I guess I really care Now I aint not one to hide my love behind a lock and key But if things keep going the way they are there's no place left for me Two trains runnin' - on that line One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine Be all right, be just fine If this woman took the one train, and left the other behind Two trains, (uh-huh yeah) two trains, (two) two trains, (keep on on) two trains Two trains, (a little bit longer) two trains, two trains, two trains |

Oh I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run And eloquent profanity It rolls right off my tongue And I have dined in palaces Drunk wine with Kings and Queens But darlin', oh darlin' You're the best thing I've ever seen Won't you roll me easy Oh slow and easy Take my independence With no apprehension,no tension You walki' talkin' dream paradise Sweet pair a' dice Well I been across this country From Denver to the ocean And I never met girls who could sing so sweet Like the angels that live in Houston Singin' "Roll me easy, so slow and easy... Play that Concertina,I'll be your temptress..." And baby I'm defenseless Singin' harmony In unison Sweet harmony Gotta hoist your flag and I'll beat your drum |

Sunrise
Sunset Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet People fly high begin to lose sight You can't see very clearly when you're in flight It's high time that you found The same people you misuse on your way up You might meet up On your way down Vintage wines from the year '62 It's your thing, it's your thing It pleases you You got to frown when you cross town You think it's an honor just to have you around It's high time that you found The same dudes you misuse on your way up You might meet up On your way down You think the sun rises and sets for you But the same sun rises, sets and shines On the poor folks too I don't mind you turning round I myself would even like a little higher ground It's high time that you found The same people you walk on on your way up You might meet up On your way down |

One so sad, feeling's painful You can't deny, there is no peace Is no love, milk-toasted love Ain't no velvet glove You were the child of some electric nightmare And you could move mountains, the swords of fire They keep you around to watch their house of gold Keep the hungry away from the sacred grove You were holy and you made me wonder how But you looked like a devil who would sieze and shake you down On the hopes of a tyrant No one makes it over There is no peace Is no love, a milk-toasted love Ain't no velvet glove |

Look out child your bound to change, You can't ever stay the same Cause if you keep on singin' the same old lines You're going to look around babe and find your friend's out of town Watch out girl the words your sayin' don't really fit the play Somebody else you might talk to now Knows what you sayin' what you mean They don't help your style You might say you ain't got a hold on yourself You might say you always try your best You might say you only need a rest You might say you can only fool yourself I said fool yourself I said fool yourself Don't believe the words you read They're written on the street And every time you know you play their game They'll knock you down and take your pride away See how bad you need to cry But no matter how you try It's the same old story once again You always have number one who calls you friend I call you friend You might say you ain't got a hold on yourself You might say you always try your best You might say you only need a rest You might say you can only fool yourself I said fool yourself I said fool yourself I said fool yourself |

Well she was plantin' her feet on the sidewalk Listenin' for signs of the small talk Waitin', hesitatin', got tired of all that waitin' Decided to walk around - that blonde bull She's been waitin' once again on the home town There ain't enough room this time 'round I gotta chasin' that woman all around town Seems that satisfaction just can't be found 'Cause she's a side street swinger She's a side street swinger Got a kiss on her lips for the askin' Just gotta keep movin' - She's bear walkin - She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets Lookin' for a ride through town Well I've been savin' my money for a week Tryin' to be somethin' real sweet I can't find the one, you know my luck is so dumb She's probably walkin' all over the street She's a side street swinger She's a side street swinger Got a kiss on her lips for the askin' Just gotta keep movin' - She's bear walkin all night She's bare walkin' all time She's been waitin' once again on the home town There ain't enough room this time 'round But the woman's too scared to try and slow down Those bulls will just love to take her down town - downtown She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets Lookin' for a ride through town She's a side street swinger She's a side street swinger Got a kiss on her lips for the askin' Just gotta keep movin' - She's bear walkin all night She's bear walkin all night She's bare walkin' all time |

Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees He said "Hey mama, hey let me check your oil all right?" She said "No, no honey, not tonight. Come back Monday, come back Tuesday, and then I might" I said Juanita, my sweet Jaunita, what are you up to? My Juanita I said Jaunita, my sweet chiquita, what are you up to? My Juanita Don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes Don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die trying Throw me a line, throw me a line 'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan Billy got so sad, dejected, put on his hat and start to run Runnin' down the street yelling at the top of his lungs "All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun" "All I want in this life and time is some hit and run" I said Juanita, my sweet Jaunita, what are you up to? My Jaunita I said Jaunita, my sweet chiquita, what are you up to? My Juanita Put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down But you caught me in the squeeze play on the cheesy side of town Throw me a dime, throw me a line 'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan |

Don't sing sad songs Juliette 'Cause I heard you've been out to get it I seen you dancin' all night long What they said about you I hope it Don't turn out wrong Red, red roses, lyin' on the ground Heartache and pain They call you by name They follow you around Juliette talk sweet Juliette Juliette The sky is all cast over And the stars refuse to shine And your lonely, your life is lonely Ah in time Over here don't concur He said you were out of control But I don't mind if you were with her one time So called prince of rock and roll Red, red roses, lyin' on the ground Heartache and pain They call you by name They follow you around Juliette I'm so sorry Juliette Juliette |
