"The Ballad Of Danger Dave And Double Trouble"

"The Ballad Of Danger Dave And Double Trouble"


Well they loaded up in Bakersfield
Running late no time to kill
Trying to beat the freezing rain
Because Danger Dave forgot the chains
Now where the 99 meets the 5
Few clicks north the old grapevine
Double trouble lost his nerve when he
Hit some ice we started to swerve

Well he lit a smoke and than he lit another
Started to choke he said
"Listen brother Danger Dave we need to stop
Without those chains we won't make the top"
Dave just smiled and (slapped) his head
It's been three days sense I've seen a bed
This load of beer's gotta get to town
Now gemmie that wheel and I'll hammer down

Trouble ridin' shotgun
And Danger's at the wheel
Roaring like thunder
Racing up the hill
Keep out of the ditches
Stay between the lines
Gotta be on time

Well he mashed her down and he hit full speed
Got him up a good head of steam
Ran the coup flew right by
That trooper said
"Them boys gonna die"
Grapevine took it's share of souls
When that ice starts taking hold
Climbing it in a blaze of glory
Coming down that's a different story

Well sure enough they made the peak
Trouble trying to knock the (free)
What goes up must come down
Bout that time the trailer came around
But Dave proclaimed I won't jacknife
Been pulling these hills most of my life
Gripped the wheel help her straight
Bout that time the whole rig began to rotate

Trouble ridin' shotgun
And Danger's at the wheel
Roaring like thunder
Racing up the hill
Keep out of the ditches
Stay between the lines
Gotta be on time

Now they were spinning down that super slab
And funny smell was filling the cab
Truck kept going round and round
All they could do was ride it down
They both knew that this was the end
Went down the ramp come up again
Somewhere they caught a break
The tires grabed and they started to shake

Well all at once the ice is gone
They found a gear and headed home
Legend has it they were right on time
Two old tired drivers beat the mighty grapvine

Trouble ridin' shotgun
And Danger's at the wheel
Roaring like thunder
Racing up the hill
Keep out of the ditches
Stay between the lines
Gotta be on time

"The Best Love We Ever Made"
(duet with Thea Tippin)

"The Best Love We Ever Made"
(duet with Thea Tippin)



The first time we went all the way
I can truly say it was way beyond my wildest dreams
And I never can forget the day
We spent tangled up in satin sheets
And I never thought we'd top the time that you and I
Oh, baby that was so sweet
Even though that was incredible not I know
The best was yet to be

The best love we ever made
Kept us up all night
And it's still growing every day
Right before our very eyes
And we're so amazed we could create
Such a priceless work of art
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is this precious child of ours

The first time our baby cried
I knew our lives were never gonna be the same
In the heart of me, a part of me
Opened up a new kind of love I can't explain
Now all this time I thought
That I was living life for you and me alone
Oh, but holding this miracle
Now, I know that I was wrong

The best love we ever made
Kept us up all night
And it's still growing every day
Right before our very eyes
And we're so amazed we could create
Such a priceless work of art
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is this precious child of ours
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is this precious child of ours

"The Call Of The Wild"

"The Call Of The Wild"


She's been staring out the window four nights in a row
Like a caged up tiger, she's pacing the floor
And she just can't resist when she feels the pull
She's got a restless spirit that she can't control
And when she gets like this, I gotta let her go

She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, Katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild

If there's ever been a lady, well, baby is
Just more of a woman at times like this
Now, don't you worry about baby stepping out of line
Yeah, she drives me crazy, but it suits me fine
She's hard to handle, so I hold on tight
And Lord knows I got my hands full tonight

She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, Katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild

I said pardon me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild

"The Man That Came Between Us (Was Me)"

"The Man That Came Between Us (Was Me)"


It's taken me some time to read the writing on the wall
But I have finally figured out just what's been going on
And I need to tell you what I've learned before you turn to go
There's things about that other man I think you should know

The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done
But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to see
That man that came between us was me

I know I'm sorry don't make up for half the tears you've cried
And I can't promise miracles but I swear to God I'll try
'Cause if you'll give me half a chance I'll love you like I should
Honey, your lovin' man's come home again
And that stranger's gone for good

The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done
But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to seed
That man that came between us was me
Oh honey, the man that came between us was me

"The Night Shift"

"The Night Shift"


Well, I've been waiting for just the right moment
To tell you what's on my mind
I don't know exactly how to say it
But I do think that it's about time
I do know that you've been working all day
And I know that you could use the rest
But I've got a little proposition for you baby
No tell me what you think about this

[Chorus:]
Let's do the night shift baby
I mean all night long
Do what comes naturally
'Til the bread of dawn
We'll toss and turn and roll and shout
And love every minute we can
Let's do the night shift baby
(Yeah) I'm ready to dance

Hey, let's go down to coyote's lounge
I hear they got a pretty good band
Yeah, we'll take it somewhere where the lights are low
If we still ain't ready to quit
Who knows we might even give a brand new meaning
To doing the night shift

[Chorus x2]

Let's do the night shift, honey
Well, I'm ready to dance

"The Sky's Got The Blues"

"The Sky's Got The Blues"


Way up in the sky, not a cloud is flyin' by
A picture perfect afternoon
Birds upon the wing, I can hear them sing
Chirping out a happy tune
But I'm walkin' around with my head hanging down
Got a reason for feeling this way
Since you've been gone things look so wrong
The sky's got the blues today

The sky's got the blues, just like I've got them for you
That old sky's got the blues, and I've got nothing to look up to
It's a beautiful day, it's just another shade of me missing you
Yeah, the sky's got the blues, the sky's got the blues today

Everyone I see, happy as can be
Loving all this warm sunshine
So many things to do, beneath a sky of blue
Not a worry on their minds
Oh but I could stand a change, some clouds or some rain
Now ain't that sad to say, but it could take a turn
As far as I'm concerned, the sky's got the blues today

Yeah, the sky's got the blues, just like I've got them for you
That old sky's got the blues, and I've got nothing to look up to
It's a beautiful day, it's just another shade of me missing you
Yeah, the sky's got the blues, the sky's got the blues today

Yeah, the sky's got the blues today
Yeah, the sky's got the blues today

"The Sound Of Your Goodbye (Sticks And Stones)"

"The Sound Of Your Goodbye (Sticks And Stones)"


Girl, I've got scars and I've seen stars
From men nearly twice my size
Yeah, life's sticks and stones have broke a few bones
But I've always survived
So when I take a look at all I've took
It don't seem right to me
How a little bitty woman with just a few words
Come bring me to my knees

Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips
I'd rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns
Rear back and let 'em fly
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
As the sound of your goodbye

Yeah, I know I'm the reason you're leavin'
I'm to blame sure enough
It's like you say there ain't a woman made
That can live without true love
So if it's too late to set things straight
And there's no forgivin' me
Then don't say nothin',' just pick you up somethin'
That'll end this misery

Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips
I'd rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns
Rear back and let 'em fly
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
As the sound of your goodbye

"The White Knight"

"The White Knight"


Down 75 or 85
Or I-20 t'other way
Turn your squelch to the right
And in the night
You'll hear some good buddy say
"Breaker breaker
Got a picture taker
All Smokeys at forty three"

It's that Japanese toy
The trucker's joy
That everybody calls CB
Yeah, Citizen's Band, keeps you up to date
On fender benders and Tijuana taxis
And all them bears out there, flip flop

Now ahead of your children and ahead of your wife
On the list of the ten best things in life
Your CB's gotta rate right around number four
'Course beavers and hot biscuits and Merle Haggard
Come one, two, three, you know

Well I was loaded down, coming outta Lake City
I was checkin' out seat covers, young and pretty
When all of a sudden there come a call
Over my CB, ringin' wall to wall
Said clove her double nickels till you hit the ridge
'Cause there's a Smokey picture taker t'other side of the bridge

"Oh mercy, 'ppreciate that, good buddy
What's your handle there, come on?
You got any county mounties out there prowlin', come on?"
And he said...

"Ten four... back door
Put the peddle to the metal and... let it roar
Hammer down... to Macon town...
Gonna see my momma... sure
Well, the bears are gone
Let's... bring it on...
The Georgia line's... out of sight
Pulled outta Richmond town last Saturday night
And my handle is... the White Knight
How 'bout it?"

"All right, White Knight, hammer down,
You got the mean machine here"
I was a streakin'
My needle was a peakin'
A right around seventy nine
That old diesel juice
Was a gettin' loose
And everything was fine
But wall to wall
I got a call
Front door, big bear trapper
Said, "Break one nine
Good buddy of mine
You got a Smokey in a plain white wrapper"

Well I jammed my stick
I lost twenty quick
You could hear them gears a tearin'
I got passed by a beaver
And a Camaro
I was cruisin' alone
And going so slow
I could count every button on that frilly blouse she was wearin'

'Course there weren't but one

"Hey there, super trooper!
Yeah, that's the crafty Smokey over there with a CB of his own
Hey White Knight, let's slide one on the super trooper, come on?"

"Ten four, back door
Put the peddle to the metal, whatcha... waitin' for?
That old flop
Can't stay in sight
Gonna leave you here and say no more
How 'bout it?"

"Whoa, now, buddy, that's fightin' talk
I'd get up there and blow your doors off!"

Well I hammered down like I had wings
Little gravels in my wheels going ping, ping, ping
'Bout the time I hit ninety-two
Saw something flashing' in my rear view
Thought to myself that can't be true
But there it was, old blue, blue, blue

Uh oh. Bubble gum machine done hit the jackpot

Well I could see that bear, laughing big
Hangin' in tight on the back of my rig
Right there and then it came to be wall to wall

So in that cold dark Georgia night
In the shadows of Smokey bear's blue light
I 'cided to make me just one more CB call

"Breaker one nine for the super trooper
Hey there, Smokey old buddy, tell me if I'm right
Are you my front door? Are you the White Knight? Come on?"
And he said...

"Ten four, back door
You're in a heap of trouble boy... that's for sure
Gonna read you your rights, and treat you fair
Pull over there
With your... rockin' chair
Want you boys to know each other real well
'Cause you gonna be sharin' the same jail cell
You make twelve cotton pickers I've caught tonight
From the front door of that White Knight
How 'bout it?
Forty miles over the speed limit
You boys gonna be here a spell"

That's it, cotton pickers, I've done been grounded
My tail's in jail, my rig impounded
So when you're comin' through the Georgia night
Don't ever get no front door called the White Knight

No sir. Wind up in the pokey with Smokey
I'm gonna pull that old CB thing out by the wires
I don't care if it is...

"There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio"

"There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio"


Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't
More than once she's left me on the side of the road
The older she gets, the slower we go
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires
She's riding me around on four bald tires
The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual attennas whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in
She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

I got stopped by a cop late last night
Out-of-date tags and no tail lights
He said, "I oughta run you in, but I'm lettin' you go
Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio"

Got the best lookin' gal in my hometown
I asked her last time that I took her out
Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so
She said, "there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio"

I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual attennas a-whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in
She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

"These Sweet Dreams"

"These Sweet Dreams"


You reach out and touch me and tell me you love me
And promise that you always will
But as I start to kiss your tender lips
I wake up to my living hell

These sweet dreams are killin' me
Your heavenly memory is pure misery
I'm losing my mind one night as a time
These sweet dreams are killin' me

When sleep comes I hold you just like I used to
In a world where our love still lives
But each mornin' I wake as I feel my heart break
When I lose you all over again

These sweet dreams are killin' me
Your heavenly memory is pure misery
I'm losing my mind one night as a time
These sweet dreams are killin' me

These sweet dreams are killin' me
These sweet dreams are killin' me
