"Likes Of Me"

"Likes Of Me"



See outside the rain it pours the lightning flashes the thunder roars
Woman you'd stand a better chance at tryin' to tame the elements
Rather than try to tame my soul
Or think your love could ever hold to the likes of me

It ain't I wouldn't like to stay live my life in an ordinary way
Nine to five a family a little baby boy on my knee
But woman I'd only break your heart
Cause that kinda life ain't in the cards for the likes of me

The likes of me that knows no home
But the town I'm in or the road I'm on
I got a restless soul and I'll never be still
The likes of me no woman can trust
I was born with a soul full of wanderin' lust
And I'll chase that sunrise over the hill

I can see the design of the picture in your mind
You think you could change my life you'd make me a perfect wife
Well woman you're sweet you're lovin' you’re kind
So don't mess up your pretty little mind on the likes of me

"Little Things"

"Little Things"



I wanna go back home to Georgia take the shoes off of my feet
Roll up my britches leg and go wadin' in Sweetwater creek
I wanna fish all night like I used to with my Pappy and my Uncle Frank
Pan fry me a mess of them fish right down on the Chattahoochee River bank

I wanna hear them coon dogs a workin' out across them Georgia hills
See the moonlight through them pine trees sit and listen to the whippoorwills
I wanna eat my mama's homemade biscuits till my last attempt
Or listen to my pappy and Grandpa Hubbard bellyache about the government

The little things that make you happiest in time
Always leave a memory that never will grow old
The little things that make you happiest in time
Leave a lot of sunshine in your soul

Well I've seen the world out a wanderin' I've traveled it all around
I've rambled up a many highway and I've slept in many a town
But at home on the back porch pickin' my guitar watchin' that sun go down
Is the closest place to heaven I ever found
Oh take me home take me home
Oh this boy wants to go home

"Long Gone"

"Long Gone"



Oh well it's long gone long gone you got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be hangin' around cause I know you're gonna put her down
And she'll need someone that's true when she wakes up one day
And find you long gone long gone

You just wandered into town
You took her and you started messin' around with my baby
You stole her heart cause she ain't used to your kind
With your fancy clothes and uptown style
It didn't take but a little while to get your way
Cause your pretty little lies she couldn't see behind

And so it's long gone long gone you got my baby and you're long gone...

The man in me would like to fight to take you down by the river tonight
And change your way but that would make her hate the sight of me
So there's nothing left for me to do but stand and watch while the likes of you
Hurt the girl I love while she's too much in love to even see

Oh yes it's long gone long gone you got my baby and you're long gone...
Long gone long gone long gone

"Lord, Mr. Ford"

"Lord, Mr. Ford"



Well if you're one of the millions who own one of them
Gas drinkin' piston clinkin' air pollutin' smoke belchin'
Four wheeled buggies from Detroit City then pay attention
I'm about to sing your song son

Well now I'm not a man to point or judge
To bear ill-will or hold a grudge
But I think it's time I said me a few choice words
All about that demon the automobile
The metal monster with the polyglass wheels
The end result of a dream of Henry Ford
Well now I've got a car that's mine alone
That me and the finance company own
A ready made pile of manufactured grief
And if I ain't out of gas in the pourin' rain
I'm changin' a flat in a hurricane
I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf

Well it ain't just the smoke in a traffic jam
That makes me the bitter fool I am
But that four-wheeled buggy is dollarin' me to death
For gas and oil and fluids and grease
And wires and tires and antifreeze
And then them accessories well honey that's somethin' else
Well you can get stereo tape and a color TV
Get a backseat bar and reclinin' seats
And just pay once a month like you do your rent
Well I figured it up and over a period of time
This four thousand dollar car of mine
Cost fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents

Well now Lord Mr Ford I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well it seems your contribution to man
To say the least got a little out of hand
Well Lord Mr Ford what have you done

Now the average American father and mother
Own one whole car and half another
And I'll bet that half a car is a trick to drive don't you
But the thing that amazes me I guess
Is the way we measure a man's success
By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy
Well now it's red light green light traffic cop
Right turn no turn must turn stop
Get out the credit card honey we're out of gas
Well now all the cars placed end to end
Would reach to the moon and back again
And there'd probably be some poor fool pull out to pass
Well now how I yearn for the good ol' days
Without that carbon dioxide haze
A hangin' over the roar on the interstate
Well if the Lord that made the moon and stars
Would've meant for me and you to have cars
He'd've seen that we was born with a parkin' space

Lord Mr Ford I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well it seems your contribution to man
To say the least got a little out of hand
Well Lord Mr Ford what have you done
Come away with me Lucille
In my smokin' chokin' automobile

"Losing Your Love"

"Losing Your Love"



Chasing the night crowd out on the town
Every night a new party and I'm always the clown
Losing your love woman is making a fool out of me

And if everyone's noticed since you've been away
How I'll over do it with this new part I play
Losing your love woman is making a fool out of me

This happy carefree face and my friends see
They know it's a lie
They seem to know that since you're not with me
I've gotta laugh or I cry
Always the first one to come to the party
And never alone
Always the last to leave when it's over
Afraid to go home

Cause that's when the laughter turns to regret
Where mem'ries remind me I'll never forget
Losing your love woman is making a fool out of me

"Louisiana Lady"

"Louisiana Lady"



Now Louisiana lady come down to Mississsippi won't you shine shine shine
Deep water paddle wheel eatin' up the river makin' time time time
Sweet harmonica music sounds so fine fine fine
A carry me down to New Orleans I wanna see that woman of mine
It's been so long I'm just about to lose my mind

Louisiana lady can't you see me on a Bourbon Street bar seat sippin' sweet wine wine wine
It sure beats bein' back in Bama drinkin' moonlit shine shine shine
I told the other woman sittin' down beside me lookin' fine fine fine
A carry me down to New Orleans I got to see that woman of mine
It's been so long I'm just about to lose my mind

Summer time when the sun goes down and the boat comes rollin' in
I see that woman walk my way and I come alive again

Louisiana lady come down to Mississsippi won't you shine shine shine
Deep water paddle wheel eatin' up the river makin' time time time
Sweet harmonica music sounds so fine fine fine
A carry me down to New Orleans I got to see that woman again
Cause there's a little bit of heaven waitin' for me at the river's end

Louisiana lady (Louisiana lady)
(Louisiana lady Louisiana lady) mercy
(Louisiana lady) oh I love it
(Louisiana lady) got to have it
(Louisiana lady)

"Love Is A Stranger To Me"

"Love Is A Stranger To Me"



You're gone so long to my heart to my happiness
But there'll be memories of you just as long as I live I guess
Ever since you've been gone everything has turned out wrong
And without your love happiness is a stranger to me

I take a long walks and small talk with anybody that I can find
A new place a new face just anything to keep me from losin' my mind
But no matter what I do it just ain't the same without you
Yes without your love happiness is a stranger to me

Those yesterdays with you were such a part of me
And without you oh how everything has changed
Cause now I see the world only through my teardrops
And through lonely eyes the world don't look the same

No use can't lose all those beautiful memories
And no one can come even close to the love that you gave to me
All my happiness was just loving you I guess
So till you come back love is a stranger to me
Yes till you come back love is a stranger to me
Till you come back love is a stranger to me

"Love Man"

"Love Man"



When you're sick in the bed baby you call the doctor
When you run out of pills you call your pharmaceutical man yeah
When you run out of grits and fatback honey
You go see the fellow down at the all night Buy Right Market Stand
Ah but when you're lonesome and need some attention
Then you get on the phone and you call up your love man that’s me

Yes I'm your love man I'm your love man
I got all the sweet talk you need and my kisses are guaranteed
I'm your love man I'm your love man
All my huggin' I bet is somethin' you won't ever forget yeah

When there's a problem too big for you to handle
And you need help cause you ain't havin' no luck
Well you can look through the yellow pages of the phone book
And find somebody come to your house to fix you up
Why there's people in this world that can fix anything you can name from A to Z
But when you need love specialization you’re lookin' to book him you call me

Cause I'm your love man I'm your love man...

Talk guitar
Yeah that’s cute

"Love Me Tonight"

"Love Me Tonight"



Oh, what a night for romancing,
Stars in the sky above
This is our chance for sweet romance
Let's make this a night of love

Here we are together, the moon is hanging low
There's magic in its silvery light
It seems to say the time is right
Love me tonight.

Life is so uncertain and no one seems to know
How long we have to linger on
Tomorrow we may both be gone
Love me tonight

Oh let me feel your arms
And let me feel your kiss
Then if this great big world must end
Oh let it end like this

My lips are yours forever, my heart is in your hand
My love is yours to have, to hold
Don't wait until the moon is old
Love me tonight.

Oh let me feel your arms
And let me feel your kiss
Then if this great big world must end
Oh let it end like this

My lips are yours forever, my heart is in your hand
My love is yours to have, to hold
Don't wait until the moon is old
Love me tonight.

"Love Prints"

"Love Prints"



The road of love with you got rough and rocky woman
And I turned out the loser of the game
Because you turned out to be everything but in love with me
And when a woman's been untrue it can leave a mark on you

Cause I got love prints that soap and water can't wash away
Love prints gonna be with me till my dyin' day
A broken heart that a woman just tore apart
I got love prints where a woman just walked all over me
Love prints called sorrow and misery
A heart inside where love once lived but died
I got love prints love prints all over my heart
Hmmm

Well I wish this world could look inside my thinkin' woman
And just see how lovin' you messed up my mind
Because you turned out to be everything but in love with me
And when a woman has been untrue it can leave a mark on you

Cause I got love prints that soap and water can't wash away...
