"Jody Like A Melody"

"Jody Like A Melody"



Jody like a melody play inside my head till the thought of you is more than I can stand just to think of having you is music to my soul you make me feel as though the world is in my hands

Jody like a melody you warm me and then leave me with a chill I can't believe the sun will rise without me looking in your eyes and knowing that your love has made me strong why you left I'll never know the fire you built will always glow I only know I woke to find you gone

Jody like a melody you warm me and then leave me with a chill Jody, I can't keep my thoughts about me in the daytime when your memory is enough to make me blind and late at night I lie awake and wait for you to come and when you don't you know I almost lose my mind

Jody like a melody you warm me and then leave me with a chill Jody like a melody...

"Juanita"

"Juanita"



Well I'm finally gettin' used to the water the way the tarantulas bite
Those Federales didn't believe I only came here to watch the bulls fight
Tell my mother I need a good lawyer tell my father I'm getting a tan
My sleepy siesta down south of the border is taking more time than I planned
Oh Juanity somebody betrayed me they've given me ten years to life
Juanita I need you to save me I promise I'll make you my wife

I got a big house in Milwaukee with a color TV and a pool
A Naugahyde bar and a Cadillac car Juanita they're waiting for you
Tie the burro up down in the courtyard to keep the guard busy tonight
When you bring my dinner make sure the tortilla is filled with a gun or a knife
Juanity somebody betrayed me...

Juanita you'll love Wisconsin Wisconsin is gonna love you
Yes all of Milwaukee speaks Spanish
Of course you're gonna wear American shoes
Lake Michigan tastes like tequila frijoles why they grow there on trees
You can say adios to the pigs and the goats if you'll just do this one thing for me
But Juanity somebody betrayed me...

Juanita I swear it was all a mistake
You see I was drowning out there in the ocean and I saw this bale coming by
Man so I grabbed it and I climbed up on top of it
And I found this stick and I rowed myself into shore
And when I got there the Border Patrol was waiting for me
At the I didn't know what it was
I promise you if you'll just marry me so I can become a citizen of Mexico
I'll take you to Milwaukee you can meet all my friends
They got these big shiny motorcycles
And you can ride on the back of 'em with 'em really Juanita would I lie to you

"Just Divorced"

"Just Divorced"



Just divorced was written on the window of the car
It looked like a tombstone parked beside the local bar
Once he'd drove it crazy now he's driven it too far
Just divorced was written on the window of the car

Someone wrote in soap it's over right across the hood
On the door it said good riddance boy I feel good
On the fender were the words I won't be home tonight
And the jukebox in the bar played if you're gonna do me wrong do it right
Laughed so hard I thought now there's a guy who's got some spunk
What a sense of humor it said goodbye on the trunk
Tin cans tied with paper streamers pointing to the bar
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Just divorced was written...

"Just In Time (To Watch Love Die)"

"Just In Time (To Watch Love Die)"



Threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
Never knew that I'd miss her until now

From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
Yea, I got there just in time to watch love die

There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
Guess I should have known I would not find her here

From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
But I got there much to late to say goodbye.

"Just To Prove My Love For You"

"Just To Prove My Love For You"



I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard if I thought it'd do me any good at all
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a mouth of Sundays just to prove my love for you
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
Cause the things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail and spit out a barbed wire fence
Now there ain't a livin' creature gonna evert come between us
I'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too
And if that ain't enough we'll start all over just to prove my love for you

I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane climb Mount Everest on a string
Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel and bring you back a hoop smoke ring
Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee there's nothin' I wouldn't do
If you just say the word I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird and bring it back to you
I remember well the first time...
I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute...

I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flat land lizard
If I thought it'd do me any good at all

Cuss things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten-penny nail

"Laid Back And Wasted"

"Laid Back And Wasted"



Laid back and wasted
Driven to drinking
A woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

I spent a lifetime
Looking for the answers
Somewhere in search of my soul
I lost it in Nashville
I found it in Austin
I sold it in New Mexico

Ten thousand miles
Of road dust can't cover
The scars that I put on my arm
And the bridges I'm burning
Will never erase
The scars that they've put on my heart

Dying looks easy
Drifting gets harder
I don't know which one to choose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

Laid back and wasted
Driven to drinking
A woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

"Lately I've Been Thinking Too Much Lately"

"Lately I've Been Thinking Too Much Lately"



Lately I've been thinking too much lately
I've been stayin' kinda stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone
Lately you've been colder than the weather
Whether love was right or love was wrong
Once you told me there was no one better
Now you say you're better off alone.

Yesterday has ran into tomorrow
Wrecking every dream we've ever known
Even though we're lying here together in this bed
I believe we're laying here alone.
Lately I've been thinking too much lately

Lately I've been drivin' myself crazy
Lately this old house ain't been no home
I thought you were something to hold on to
When I could not make it on my own
Lately you've been more than I can handle
Lately I can't handle being stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone.

"Linda Lovelace"

"Linda Lovelace"



Well, I've fucked 'em all from Coast to Coast...
Well you can talk about your lovers and your back door pimps.
You can talk about your hollywood Fags.

If you want to know the best love in the world then I'm the best mother-fucker alive
Jackie Onassis was a snuff queen for me before she ever got rich.
And it would take a man a day and a half just to satisfy that bitch.

Why the Queen of England gave me the keys to the whole damn Country of France
And it only took me 15 minutes to get into her pants.

Well, I've fucked 'em all from Coast to Coast, cause honey, that's my bag.

Fact, I'm the only guy in the world who can make Linda Lovelace Gag

doot doot doot duh...

Now it ain't that my dick's so goddamn big, it's just that I know how to use.
I'll never let no nickle-dime whore ever get the chance to abuse it.
They can suck it for hours and hours on end, but I'll still be in control.
And I won't cum 'til I wanna cum, cause that's my jelly-roll.

Now they're ain't no woman, no match for me, I've had 'em try to wear me down.
I've fucked them barmaids, and bankclerks, I even fucked a circus clown.
Teachers and Lawyers doctors and more, them fat women sure are a drag,

I tell you I'm the only motherfucker in the world that can make Linda Lovelace gag.

Well, old Harry Reams fall apart at the seams when he saw me fuck that whore.
She sucked my dick and swallowed my nuts, and I still hollered for more.
She sucked my asshole, she sucked my toes, she's the suckinest bitch alive.
I made her call up two more cunts, and friend that at no jive.

She don't give me no shit about being no big time lover.
Some movie star with a jag.
Cause you ain't shit...
If you can't get Linda lovelace to gag.

And don't talk about being no full-time lover, cause mister, that's my bag.

I'm the only motherfucker in the damn world that can make Linda Lovelace gag.

doot doot doot

"Little Orphan Annie"

"Little Orphan Annie"



Play your fiddle Little Orphan Annie
Play it for the shrimpers and the pirates out to sea
Play it for the hippies down in Mallory Square
If I'm not there won't you play a song for me

We all called her Little Orphan Annie at the playground
Merry go merry go merry go round
Till she picked her fiddle up we always put her down
When she picked her fiddle up they come for miles around to hear her play

Play your fiddle Little Orphan Annie...

Aw Mad Dog Diamond Jim Richmond from the Tennessee Hot Band
John Hartford on the banjo oh Diamond my oldest son Dale
John Hartford playin' the fiddle and the banjo Diamond Jim
