Hey whiskey man, you're running as hard as you can, You have your highs, you have your lows, You drink your whiskey too much more than you can stand. Chorus: Nobody knows which way you go. It takes whiskey to make you tall, Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. You ain't so very damn tall at all. Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. Can't you see your on a loosing streak. You start to get straight , then you get weak, You have your highs, you have your lows, Chorus: Nobody knows which way you'll go. Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. Hey don't you know, I use to be there myself, Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. I tried to kick the habit, baby, with nobody else's help. I have my highs, I have my lows, But nobody knows which way I'll go. Chorus: Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long. Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.

Well, baby used to stay out all night long.
She made me cry, she done me wrong.
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie.
Table's turning, now her turn to cry.
Chorus:
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Well, she used to run around with ev'ry man in town.
Spent all my money playing a high class game.
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried.
The table's turned and now, her turn to cry.
Chorus:
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Well, I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed.
When I gotten worried, she could ease my aching head.
But now she's here and there with ev'ry man in town.
Instead of trying to take me for that same old clown.
Chorus:
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Because I used to love her but it's all over now.
Because I used to love her but its all over now.

Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know, Started off one day and took off down the road. 'Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low, Seeking' my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load. One man's pleasure is another man's pain. One man's loss is another man's gain. I left my woman in Jacksonville and took off down the line. She had her way of thinking and Lord knows I had mine. Chorus: Couldn't take the pain, baby, of staying all alone. She could not take the pain of me not being home. Chorus: One man's pleasure is another man's pain. One man's loss is another man's gain. Now when I left this town it was for her and for me. Now I'm home all alone, with a paper that says I'm free. I guess I'll hit the road again, and do what I do best. To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest. One man's loss is another man's gain. Chorus: One man's pleasure is another man's pain. Chorus: One man's loss is another man's gain. One man's pleasure is another man's pain. Now tell me people, who's to blame?

Oh, People, baby, what's the matter with you? Don't you just want to get up, babe, Your feet, they ain't leaving' the ground. Don't you just want to jump on up, Hearing this rocking sound? And kick your chairs out of the way? OOh we're going to rock you, baby, Oh, it's easy, can't you see? Nobody seems to want to boogie no more. Rock you till the break of day. We ain't never had no problem before, Chorus: Gonna give it to you one time. Oh, People, baby, what's the matter with you? Your feet, they're leaving' the ground. Hearing this rockin' sound. I know that you get on up, baby, Don't you just want to jump on up, Rock you till the break of day. MMM' gonna rock you , baby, And kick your chairs out of the way.

I'm outta money, outta hope & it looks like self-destruction.

I got the pedal 2 the floor & my life is runnin' faster.
Well, how much more can we take with all of this corruption?
We're flirtin w/ disaster & ya'll know what it means.
And when we play with our lives, it makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself, or what you plan to be, yeah.
We're gamblin' with our time & choose our destiny.

I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
(& you know what I'm talkin about)
Yeah, and I try to turn my head away.
Feel like I'm draggin' a heavy load.
Feel about the same most every day

Speedin' down the fast lane, & honey we're playin' from town 2 town.
The boys & I been burnin' it up, can't seem to slow it down.
Got a side-step straight ahead, but I ain't sure what we're after.
Got the pedal to the floor our lives are running faster.

Flirtin' w/ Disaster ya'll damn sure know what I mean.
I don't know about yourself, or what you plan to be, yeah.

You know, but when we play w/ our lives, it makes no sense to me.
We're gamblin' with our time & choose our destiny.
We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Flirtin' w/ Disaster every day *(and UR2 baby, huh huh).
Feel like we're draggin' a heavy load.
Yeah, and I try to turn my head away.
*(It ain't for everybody.....aw, come on man

Well, you've seen us before,
You're going to see us again, ya'll,
We're back in town now, We're playing to win.
Foot stompin' brothers, that's what we are,
No fancy pants, ain't no super star.
You say you came for the party, babe,
You came for the show.
The boys are feeling hot and I'm a ready to go.
So if you're feeling good, if you feel alright,
We're going to have a rock 'n roll time tonight.
Chorus:
So c'mon people won't you free your soul,
C'mon babe, let's rock 'n roll.
I want that sweet little missy,
Down there on that front row,
She's looking real fine, babe,
She's ready to go.
She'll get you feeling good, if you feel alright,
Guarantee you good good rockin' tonight.
Chorus:
So c'mon baby let's rock 'n roll,
Me and my boys we got total control.
So c'mon people won't you free your soul.

I rode into town with my ear to the ground, Looking for the right band to play, Ridden many miles that day. I felt just right in the heat of the night, I've heard of a place where men go together, I didn't know they gun me down. I'm going to win, but Lord, what a sin, Playin' and layin' it down, Chorus: Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun. Well, the dealer was blind, I was trying to find, The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker, Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run. A way to keep the winnings I'd found. I still thought they'd gun me down. Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run. Chorus: Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun. I didn't come into this ol' two horse town, Aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha. To get all shot up. I've got a little livin' on my mind, Now the dealer dealt me eight and I had my straight, But my back was up against the wall. I knew the other men would call. Chorus: The booze was a flowin', the cards were showing, Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun. Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run. C'mon Thunder.

All alone with a full moon to light my night. It's been a long time. Been six long months since I held you tight. Baby, you are my only love, Oh, honey, times are bad. Sent to me, from Heaven above. Got so bad, one lonely night, I needed you to hold me tight. Honey, don't be so sad. I've got you on my mind, You know I've done you wrong. We made a deal, Oh, baby, listen to my song. Honey, don't be so mad. I remember the pact, Now you're gone and I need you back. There's no other, There never could be, You're my woman, my family. Honey, baby, take me back. I've got you on my mind, You know I've done you wrong. Oh, baby, listen to my song. A feeling inside I couldn't hide, Chorus: Now I wish I lied. Oh, baby, won't you come back home? Has it been too long to make things right? Lonely days and damn the nights, Been a long time, Lord a long time. I've got you on my mind, You know I've done you wrong. The feeling inside, Oh, this pain in my soul. Chorus: I couldn't hide, Now I wish I lied. Oh, baby, won't you come back home? Yeah, a long time.

Well some people bitch, Lord, some people holler, Each man can do just what he wants, But we've all got ot pull our load. About the long days on the road. It ain't as bad as they say. As for myself, I'm gonna take the highway, Give me wine, women, whiskey, and rock 'n roll, Chorus: And let me sleep my days away. C'mon baby, let the good times roll. C'mon baby, let the good times roll. I've been all throughout the South land. I ought to settle down some place, Keep moving on down the line. But I just can't find the time. Give me wine, whiskey, women, and rock 'n roll, It ain't as bad as they say. As for myself, gonna take this highway, And let me sleep my days away. Chorus: C'mon baby, let the good times roll. C'mon baby, let the good times roll. Chorus: Chorus: C'mon baby, let the good times roll. C'mon baby, let the good times roll. C'mon baby, let the good times roll. C'mon baby, let the good times roll.

Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,
'Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking' my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
I left my woman in Jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and Lord knows I had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldn't take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.:

One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Now when I left this town it was for her and for me.
Now I'm home all alone, with a paper that says I'm free.
I guess I'll hit the road again, and do what I do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Now tell me people, who's to blame?
