Slippin' and a-slidin', playin' Dominoes
Leftin' and a-rightin' ain't a crime, you know Well, I gotta tell the story before it's time to go Well, are you ready for the country? Are you ready for me? Are you ready for the country? Ain't that the sight to see? Talkin' to a preacher, said God was on his side Talkin' to a butcher, they both were sellin' hide Well, I gotta tell the story, boys I don't know the reason why Are you ready for the country? Are you ready for me? Are you ready for the country? Ain't that a sight to see? [Incomprehensible] Are you ready for the country? Are you ready for me? Better get ready for the country Ready for me Are you ready for the country? Ready for me? Are you ready for the country? Ain't that the sight to see? |

There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women I don't need my name in the marquis lights I got my song and I got you with me tonight Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain So baby let's sell your diamond ring Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away This coat and tie is choking me In your high society you cry all day We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones Four car garage and we're still building on Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love Chorus: Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain |

've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone I've always been different with one foot over the line Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand The chances your taking loving a free living man Are you really sure you really want what you see Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane |

Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to L.A. To get a brown eyed handsome man Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man Milo Venus was a beautiful lass She had the world in the palm of her hand But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match To get a brown eyed handsome man She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man Chorus: Way back in history three thousand years Back every since the world began There's been a lot of good women shed a tear For a brown eyed handsome man That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind Between a doctor and a lawyer man Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself A brown eyed handJust like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man Arrested on charges of unemployment He was sitting in the witness stand The judge's wife called up the district attorney Said you free that brown eyed man You want your job you better free that brown eyed man Way back in history three thousand years Back every since the world began There's been a lot of good women shed a tear For a brown eyed handsome man That's what the trouble is brown eyed handsome man |

I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried,
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life, To look in the mirror in total surprise. At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. It's a measure of people who don't understand, The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band. I got my first guitar when I was fourteen, Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. |

I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
She never had much just a sharecropper's daughter But I married her and took her down to New Orleans Got a little house in the South French Quarter Got a job tookin' bales load them on steamboat I give the seven days pay next day unbroke When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin' Every evenin' when the sun goes down she starts a swarmin' on Orleans town Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak I caught her with the tall long dandy from canebreak As she walked right by me and she looked right through me I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22 I watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key A standin' right outside I could read Room 23 Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathing |

I'm a mountain,come on and climb Because you look so good,to be so down It won't take much girl,to turn it all around [Chorus] Come with me,come with me The feeling's free,just come with me Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high Say hello sun,as we sail bye I'll take you where,you've never been before Once we're there,you'll cry for more If it's dark in your world,come walk in mine My love's a light babe,it's on all the time [Chorus: x 2] |

Pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine I'll be leaving in the morning For a place I hope I find All the places must be better Than all the ones I leave behind I don't suppose you'll be unhappy You'll find ways to spend your time But if you ever think about me And if I ever cross your mind Pretend I never happened Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine I don't suppose you'll be unhappy You'll find ways to spend your time But if you ever think about me And if I ever cross your mind Pretend I never happened Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine |

[Chorus:]
You can have her, I don't want her She didn't love me anyway She only wanted someone to play with All I wanted was love to stay The girl I love, up and left me She ran away with my best friend Comes home at night, for just one hour When daylight comes she's gone again [Chorus] When you're stuck with the wrong woman There ain't much that you can do Just dig a hole and crawl right in it Then pull the ground right in over you [Chorus] Life without love is might empty But confession is good for your soul I'd rather have love for just one hour Then have the world and all it's gold [Chorus x2] |

Just two good ole boys,
Never meaning no harm. Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law Since the day they was born. Straightenin' the curves, Flattenin' the hills. Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will. Makin' their wayyyyyy, the only way they know how. Well, that's just a little bit more than the law will allow. Just two good ole boys, Wouldn't change if they could. Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods. [Yee-haw] |

This time if you want me to come back, it's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things you used to do You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line This time will be the last time This time if I should feel unwanted, I won't stay Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today It's all up to you to keep in mind This time will be the last time This time should be anything like the other times This time will be the last time If this time should be anything like the other times This time will be the last time |

I've been down the Mississippi,
Down through New Orleans, Yes, I have. I've played in California, There ain't too much I haven't seen. No, there ain't. Well, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. Left a girl in West Virginia, Up there where that green grass grows, Yes, I did. Another girl in Cincinnati, Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, Poor girl! I'm a ramblin' man, Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man. You'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. Better not! Well, up in Chicago, I was known as "Quiet Boy," Yes, I was! Down in Alabama, They call me "The man of joy," Still do! Well, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man. You'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. |

One two three four
In a barroom in Toledo, across from the depot On a barstool, she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over I sat down and asked her, her name When the drinks finally hit her, she said, "I'm no quitter" But I finally quit livin' on dreams Hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings In the mirror, I saw him, I closely watched him I saw the look in his eyes He came to the woman who sat there beside me And slowly started to cry His big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain For a minute, I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking As he turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us, I ordered more whiskey She said, "Let's go have a ball" From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room We walked without talkin' at all Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me She must've thought that I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her Came back to me time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille |

Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman That woman of mine, she ain't happy 'Til she finds something wrong and someone to blame If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way Woke up this mornin' to the sunshine It sure as hell looks just like rain But I know where to go on a cloudy day Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman Always the same never complain Though times gotta be tough It's not right for you what can I do I can never think of givin' you up Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman |

I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore,
And maybe I've learned this time. I hope that I find what I'm reaching for, The way that it is in my mind. Someday I'll get over you. I'll live to see it all through. But I'll always miss, Dreaming my dreams with you. But I won't let it change me, Not if I can. I'd rather believe in love. And give it away as much as I can, To those that I'm fondest of. Someday I'll get over you. I'll live to see it all through. But I'll always miss, Dreaming my dreams with you. Someday I'll get over you. I'll live to see it all through. But I'll always miss, Dreaming my dreams with you. |

I've always loved the ladies
Ladies love the games Seems the things they want the most is They always want to change The only thing that changes Is my mind I never could toe the mark And I never could walk the line Some things don't come easy Others should be free I'd gladly give my heart to you But the rest belongs to me I don't mean to be A waste of time I never could toe the mark And I never could walk the line I like Southern Comfort It does a thing on me Takes me home to a gentle touch And wants what's left to me She's got her own space And I got mine She don't toe the mark And I don't walk the line She's got her own space And I got mine She don't toe the mark And I don't walk the line |

> A long time forgotten
Are dreams that just fell by the way. And the good life he promised Ain't what she's living today. But she never complains Of the bad times or bad things he's done, Lord. She just talks about the good times they've had And all the good times to come. She's a good-hearted woman In love with a good-timin' man. She loves him in spite of his ways That she don't understand. Through teardrops and laughter, They'll pass through this world hand in hand, A good-hearted woman Lovin' her good-timin' man. He likes the night life, The bright lights, and good-timin' friends. When the party's all over, She'll welcome him back home again. Lord knows she don't understand him, But she does the best that she can. 'Cause she's a good-hearted woman; She loves her good-timin' man. She's a good-hearted woman In love with a good-timin' man. She loves him in spite of his ways That she don't understand. Through teardrops and laughter, They'll pass through this world hand in hand, A good-hearted woman Lovin' her good-timin' man. |

Everybody's looking for someway in
I'm looking for someway out I've been wasting my time, standing in line If this is what it's all about All I've got is a job that I don't like And a woman that don't understand So tonight in the bar, I'll get in my car And take off for the promise land [Chorus] Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go I'll never see Texas, L.A., or ol' Mexico But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind Drink till I'm dreaming a thousand miles out of my mind This suit and this tie is just a disguise This ain't really me Some people were born to be tied down Some people were born to be free When I look down the road she don't know How it gets under my skin She's got my body but my heart and soul Are out there riding the wind [Chorus: x2] |
