"Key To The Highway"

"Key To The Highway"


I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.
When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
'Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won't be back no more.
I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

"Knock Me A Kiss"

"Knock Me A Kiss"


I like cake, no mistake, but baby if you insist
I'll cut out the cake, just for your sake
Baby! C'mon and knock me a kiss

I like pie, I hope to die, just to get a load of this
When you get high, doggone the pie
Baby! C'mon and knock me a kiss

When you pressed your little lips to mine, that was then I understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas and everything good
I love jam and no film flam, scratch that off my list
This ain't no jam, the jam can scram
Baby! C'mon and knock me a kiss

When you pressed your sweet little lips to mine, that was then I understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas and everything good
I like cars and big cigars but baby they won't be missed
If everyday I hear you say
Baby! C'mon and knock me a kiss

Baby! C'mon and knock me a kiss

"Lay Another Log On The Fire"

"Lay Another Log On The Fire"


All day long
I've been thinking about you, baby
With loving you on my mind
I couldn't hardly wait
To get home to you, baby
So I could do a little overtime
Baby, baby, you've been so good to me
I want to understand
If I want a do right woman
Then I've got to be a do right man
So I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Trying to keep Jody from my door
Oh I know I've been neglecting you
Lately, baby
Just trying to make ends meet
But tonight I'm gonna be
On my love job, baby
Me working on you, you working on me
Wine, music, and a little candlelight
Just to help me unwind
'Cause I know
I got so much love to give, baby
And tonight I'm gonna take my time
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Said I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just gotta keep Jody from my door
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Think I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door...

"Let Me Love You"

"Let Me Love You"


If you would let me love you, baby
There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
Yes if you would let me love you, baby
Ain't nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
I would even try to walk on water, woman
If you would just say,
"Baby I love you too"

If you let me love you, baby
I'll buy you a car made of gold
I'll even give you a fountain of youth, baby
So you will never grow old
Just let me love you, woman

Ain't nothing I wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and I'm gonna call you my girl

Yeah, I'l lhire you a teacher, baby
To read you storybooks
I'll make you a talkin' mirror, woman
Just to tell you how good you look

Ain't nothing I wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and I'm gonna call you my girl

Yes, I'm gonna fall on my knees
Would even call the Lord
Just to seed the dimple, baby
In your cheeks when you smile

Let me love you
Ain't nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
I say I would try to walk the water, baby
If you say that you love me too

"Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer"

"Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer"


You know by now that I've been passed
Through an awful lot of hands
And all I have is what is left
From ten thousand one night stands

Sometimes I feel like I was there
When the blues began
With this crying guitar holding me
Like a woman holds a man

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, I want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer

At night sometimes I can still feel
Every place I've ever been
I feel it in my music
And it all comes back again

You know I've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note I ever play
I always play for love

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, I want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer

"Let The Good Times Roll"

"Let The Good Times Roll"


Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey Mr. Landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey tell everybody
Mr. King's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
No matter whether rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll

"Let's Do The Boogie"

"Let's Do The Boogie"


Well, some people love mambo
And so do I
The dance is kinda hard
So I don't think I'll try
I'll do the boogie
Yes, I'll do the boogie
Well, I'll do the boogie
'Cause I think it's much easier to do

Well , some people swing fast
Some swing it slow
It just knocks me out
To see my baby on the floor
I love to see her boogie
Yes, love to see her boogie
Well, I love to see her boogie
I think I'll try it a little bit too

Well, I swing her way out
Then pull her in close
I'm tellin' you, boys
That upsets me the most
I love to see her boogie
Yes, love to see her boogie
Well, it knocks me out to see her boogie
So, I think I'll try it a little bit too

I'm glad to see you back, baby
You been gone such a long, long time
And now that you're back, baby

"Let's Straighten It Out"

"Let's Straighten It Out"


Sit yourself down, girl
And talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep saying
Everything's ok, baby
'Cause if it was, girl
You wouldn't be crying
You've been tossing and turning
In your sleep lately, baby
Sitting around crying all day long
Now how in hell do you expect me
To understand, baby
When I don't even know what's wrong
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Well the last five nights
When we went to bed
Oh I could tell something wasn't right
When you turned your back
And you covered your head, baby
You didn't even say good-night
Now if you're tired
And you don't wanna be bothered, baby
Just say the word
And I'll leave you alone
Instead of lying there
Crying your eyes out
You and me oughta be getting it on
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Please let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out now, baby

"Little By Little"

"Little By Little"


Baby, out all night
Until the break of day
Snap me up in everything I say
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me
What you're doing, baby
You know it ain't right
I wonder what you're doing
That takes all night
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me
Get so disgusted
When I try to kiss you
I just don't feel
Like I used to do
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me
Tried to trail you last night
Baby, in my car
But I'm scared I might see
What I'm looking for
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me
