"Turn Me Wild"

"Turn Me Wild"



When I was young I stayed in line
I didn't do no midnight creeping
When I was young I stayed in line
I didn't do no midnight creeping
My mama had a broomstick beside the bed
Let me tell you it wasn't for sweeping

Didn't learn nothing from a book
No I never took a lesson
Didn't learn nothing from a book
No I never took a lesson
When it comes to the blues
I do my own kind of lesson
Blues done turn me wild
It's gone deep down in my soul
Blues done turn me wild
It's gone deep down in my soul
I get like an old hound dog
Playing on a rabbit's hole

You can't pick how they remember you
You just hope some day they do
You can't pick how they remember you
You just hope some day they do
But I still got more to say
I ain't never through
Blues done turn me wild
It's gone deep down in my soul
Blues done turn me wild
It's gone deep down in my soul
I get like an old hound dog
Playing on a rabbit's hole

"Vietcong Blues"

"Vietcong Blues"



I woke up early this mornin'
I was feelin' kind of blue
My landlady said you got a letter here
And I began to sing the blues

It was from my brother
Don't you know the boy's laying down in Vietnam
Lord they say, you don't have no reason to fight baby but
Lord knows you think you're right
(but you got to be wrong, don't you hear me, you got to be wrong, now pick up-)

You wake up early in the mornin' baby
And you don't have nothin' to eat
You can't buy yourself no clothes baby
Lord knows who can you meet

My brother's in Vietnam
People don't you know just why I'm singin' these blues
You might have no respect for your country darlin'
But that's why, that's why I'm singin' these blues
(you better pick up baby and get with it, you hear me? Looka here-)

The mothers, all the wives,
All the fathers, that have sons,
In Vietnam, you hear me?
This is to you
Always

Oh I'm gonna wake up early in the mornin'
People I'm 'bout to go out of my god-darn' mind
Lord I'm gonna wake up early in the mornin'
People I'm 'bout to go out of my god-darn' mind
It's so sad, it's so sad to think about your people
Lord when the other man thinks they're wrong
(you're not right baby. Hear this just before I go-)

Lord I woke up in the mornin'
You're gonna look up, you're gonna look up and find yourself gone
Lord I woke up this mornin'
You're gonna look up and find yourself gone
(how would you feel if it was your brother over there, eh? How would you feel?)
Lord then you're gonna ask the good Lord to forgive you
Please forgive me for my sins.

"Watch Yourself"

"Watch Yourself"



Pretty girl, you know it's a dirty shame
You let these homely girls come up and take your man
Pretty baby, everybody knows you are fine
Well these homely girls make many a man change his mind

Pretty girl, you better watch yourself
Before these homely girls will put you on the shelf
Pretty baby, you really look so good
But these a homely girls, they're wrecking this neighborhood

Pretty girl, well don't you play them cheap
These homely girls can treat a man so sweet
Pretty baby, this is the real McCoy
Well these homely girls will make many a man jump for joy

Pretty girl you better watch your man
Ah these a homely girls are just a raisin' sand
Pretty baby, these homely girls are smart
You know you can't tell the difference once you get 'em in the dark

Pretty baby
Homely baby
Wo you baby
Know just what to do

Pretty girl, you know it's a dirty shame
You let these homely girls come up and take your man
Pretty baby, everybody knows you are fine

Pretty girl, well don't you play them cheap
These homely girls can treat a man so sweet
Pretty baby, this is the real McCoy
Well these homely girls will make many a man jump for joy

Pretty baby
Homely Baby
Wo you baby
Know just what to do

"Wear You Out"
(feat. Billy Gibbons)

"Wear You Out"
(feat. Billy Gibbons)



I had a '54 Stratocaster
They said it wouldn't last me my whole life
I ripped and tore and banged that thing
Until it couldn't play one more night

I'm gonna wear you out
Yes I'm gonna wear you out
I ain't slowing down
Until I wear you out

I had a seventy something El Dorado
I said it ain't never gonna stop
A 100,000 miles and 69 days
I felt that engine drop

I'm gonna wear you out
I'm gonna wear you out
I ain't slowing down
Until I wear you out

Well they say she'd been through many men
Said she couldn't be satisfied
Said she felt the ground move twice
Before I even hit my stride

I'm gonna wear you out
Yes I've been around
I ain't slowing down
Until I wear you out

I'm gonna wear you out
I'm gonna wear my guitar out
I ain't slowing down
Until I wear you out
Because I think I'm going to
Got to got got to
Wear you out
I'm gonna wear you out
It's going down
Until I wear you out

"Well I Done Got Over It"



Well, I'm done got over you
I'm done got over you at last
Well, I'm done got over you

Just to love me like a toy

The day when I first met you
Seemed such sweet little thing

'Till you know it was a crying shame

He, I'm done got over you
Oh, I'm done got over you, Lord, Lord
I'm done got over you
I'm done got over you at last

I didn't want you to be no angel
Neither no girl for joy

And all I want was some good woman
Just to love me like a toy

"What Kind Of Woman Is This?"

"What Kind Of Woman Is This?"



The gates of Heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by
Hey, the gates of heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by

I heard a blind man screamin', say
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
There goes a sight for my sore eyes
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
What kind of woman is this?

You should be locked up, pretty girl
In my bedroom with me
Hey, you should be locked up, pretty girl
In my bedroom with me

So we can do the same thing that Adam
Did under that old apple tree
What he did under that apple tree
What he did under that apple tree

Well, well, well, well, well, well
Choke out
Here I come again

There's always some good lookin' girls
Hangin' 'round this famous place
Well, hey, there's always some good lookin' girls
Hangin' round this famous place, talkin' bout legends now

Aww, but this particular one
Looked like somethin' from outer space
She looked like somethin' from outer space

What kind of woman is this?
Hmm, what kind of woman is this?
What kind of woman is this?
Ooh, what kind of woman is this?

Look at that, she shakes all over when she walk
She made a blind man see
Made a dumb man talk
What kind of woman is this?
Hmm, shucks

Tell me, hey, what kind of woman is this, man?
Somebody gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta tell me, tell me
What kind of woman is this?

"What You Gonna Do About Me"
(feat. Beth Hart & Muscle Shoals Horns)

"What You Gonna Do About Me"
(feat. Beth Hart & Muscle Shoals Horns)



You say it's over and you're ready to move on.
You want to believe all the fire is gone.
But I feel some hesitation, even as you leave.
Think it through, what you gonna do about me?

It hasn't always been easy, you and I both know.
But the easy way out, will be a hot way to go.
Do you think you can forget what we had so easily?
Think it through, what you gonna do about me?

You may go out and find another, but what you think you lookin for?
You might think you found a lover, but you'll still be wanting something more.

When you close your eyes you might be surprised at who you're gonna see.
Oh baby, what you gonna do about me?

So stop and think it over, baby, before you leave it all behind.
No matter where you go, no matter what you do,
I'll still be there in the back of the line.
When you close your eyes you might be surprised at who you gonna see.
Oh baby, what you gonna do about me?

You might spend a lifetime fighting back my memory.
Now oh baby, what you gonna do about me?

Oh, I want you to think it through.
What you gonna do, what you gonna do about me?

"When You See The Tears From My Eyes"



Hey!
Hey now!

When ya see tears comin' from my eyes
Oh yes, oh yes people, yes I could cry
Oh I know you see those big tears come from my eyes
From the bottom of my heart, baby you know I can cry

You know my mother told me when I was a little boy
She said, 'Someday son, you will have the reason why'

You know why?

I lay awake at night because of love
Lord I have so much trouble
I lay awake, I lay awake at night because of trouble
Because of so much trouble

People I just can't, I just can't sleep no more
All the critters have come to keep me company
You know there's a lonesome wind blowin' around my door
