"Ten Years Ago"

"Ten Years Ago"



Yeah, I don't know why I got those type of blues tonight, but uh
Something, it's alright, something told me tonight to uh
Get it like I was gettin' it when I first started
And it's such a great pleasure to be on this show tonight Ladies and Gentleman
Tell uh, it's given me a thrill inside, you know, and I wish that
You may think I'm puttin' you on, but uh please believe me
For somehow or another,I hate to say this, but uh,
We get a better thrill out of playing over here then we do at home
So uh, haha, but uh, I must, thank you, I must say this that uh
Regardless to how an entertainer feel it are always the people that makes him feel okay
So that's why we always get the question asked us, during the course of a tour
Do you ever get lonesome by it for not beeing at home, you know
People can make you feel at home
And when I, thank you very much
And when I get that feeling like that I go be that and
Play a tune that goes something like this

Just ten years ago
People what I would do
No one would ever know
Just ten years ago
People how I would live my life
No one would ever know
The things that I think I would do
Ooo, no one will never know

I sit down in my dark room sometime
Tears rollin' down from my eyes
I sit down in my dark room
Tears rollin' down from my eyes
Yeah, play the blues
You know, I began to wonder
Oh, what makes a man like poor me cry

Well I might as well forget all about it
Lord and try to live my live just like it is
Lord I might as well forget all about it
And try to live my live just like it is
And you know I want to tell you people
Oh I would like to go back ten years

Play it on down for me now!

Yeah!

"Thank Me Someday"

"Thank Me Someday"



Down in Louisiana
On a cotton plantation
Little tent room shack
And a third grade education

Two stringed wood guitar
I taught myself how to play, yes, I did
Kept the whole family up all night
And I told them that you'll all thank me one day
Yes, I did

My sister would scream
"Boy, you just got to stop
You're waking up the whole family
Everybody is going to be hot"

Two stringed wood guitar
And I sure enough taught myself how to play
She said, "Turn it down, Buddy"
I said, "Shut up, you're gonna thank me someday"
You're gonna thank me one day
Did you hear what I said?

That was sixty years ago
Now my mom and dad is gone
I go see my sisters and brothers
And the grand-kids come along

I give the little ones my guitar
I tell 'em, "Close your eyes and play
Don't even worry about the neighbors
Y'all gonna thank me someday"

Down in Louisiana
On a cotton plantation
A little tent room shack
And I only got a third grade education

That's why I taught myself
I'm telling you that's why I taught myself
How to play, yes, I did
I kept my family up all night
And now they're thanking me everyday
Oh yeah, they're thanking me everyday

"The Price You Gotta Pay"

"The Price You Gotta Pay"



I had a dream, just the other night
Me and my baby was having a fight
It felt so real, but it wasn’t funny
I took my love, and she took my money

But that’s all right, I was only dreaming,
But you know what, it got me thinking

You gotta go, for what you know,
Cause you’re gonna reap just what you sow
Cause life don’t always go your way
And that’s the price you gotta pay

I went to the kitchen, I turned on the sink
Got a glass of water, and I began to think
This lying and cheating has got to stop
Before I lose everything that I got

Sometimes I feel so strange
Other times I feel so ashamed

You gotta go, for what you know,
You’re gonna reap just what you sow
Cause life don’t always go your way
And that’s the price you gotta pay

Well I tried to kick the habit
I couldn’t do it, I have to have it
I broke her heart, and I broke the rules
I get no sympathy for being a fool

I cried so hard ‘till I nearly drown
And I paid the price for sneaking around

You gotta go, for what you know,
You’re gonna reap just what you sow
Life don’t always go your way
And that’s the price you gotta pay

"Thick Like Mississippi Mud"

"Thick Like Mississippi Mud"



The whiskey and the women
They can drop you to your knees
Hey I say good whiskey and the women
They can drop you to your knees
Man been hunting lord
Since Adam got a hold of Eve

Some people think I'm stone crazy
They think I've lost my mind
Some people think I'm crazy
But I'm doing just fine
Nobody wants to break their own rules
But they have no problem breaking mine

I've been around the world
I know, I know the world is round
I've been around the world
Hey I know the world is around
You know those blues have took my life
And turned it upside down

The smoke is getting thick
Thick like Mississippi mud
Oh the smoke is getting thicker
Thick like Mississippi mud
That's how many people at his party
Ohhh I can't even get drunk

I've been around the world
I know, I know the world is round
I've been around the world
Hey I know the world is around
You know those blues have took my life
And turned it upside down
