"Singing The Blues"

"Singing The Blues"


I never felt more like singing the blues
I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues.

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
I never felt more like running away
Why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues.

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
I never felt more like running away
Why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues

"Sinners & Saints"

"Sinners & Saints"


Young ones in the jailhouse sleeping it off
Church folks saying that his soul is lost
Man you shoulda seen him, all the faces turned red
Yep, when the preacher stood up and said
The only thing different in sinners and saints
One is forgiven and the other one ain't.

Sally got in trouble a few years ago
With a married man down in Tupelo
The way folks talked in this little old town
Lord, there ain't no way she's ever gonna live it down
The only thing different in sinners and saints
One is forgiven and the other one ain't.

Nobody's perfect, we're just flesh and blood
One foot on the high road, one in the mud
There's a mighty fine line between right and wrong
Don't point your finger, don't matter which side you're on
The only thing different in sinners and saints
One is forgiven and the other one ain't.

The only thing different in sinners and saints
One is forgiven and the other one ain't.
One is forgiven and the other one ain't...

"Six Days On The Road"

"Six Days On The Road"


Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh
A rollin' down that Eastern Sea board
I got my diesel wound up
And she's a runnin' like a never before.

There's a speed zone ahead alright
And I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

I got me ten forward gears
And a George overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills
And my eyes are open wide.

Well, I just passed a Jimmy in white
I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Well, it seems like a month
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women
But I'm not like that sort of the guys.

I could find one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Well, the ICC
Is checkin' on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight
And my log book's way behind.

But nothin' bothers me tonight
I could dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Well, my rig's a little old
But that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from my stack
And that smoke's a blowin' like it's cold.

My hometown's a comin' in sight
If you think I'm a happy you're right
Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Six days on the road
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight...

"Six Foot Deep, Six Foot Down"

"Six Foot Deep, Six Foot Down"


If you look for me on a Friday night
It might take you some time
With a payday in my pocket
Lord, I'm a little bit hard to find.

I might miss a day at work
When Monday comes around
But the day that I stop loving you
I'll be easy found.

There'll be bells a-ringing, a choir singing
The preacher sayin' how he'll miss much, having me around
But the day I stop loving you I'll be easy found
Six foot deep, six foot down, six foot deep and six foot down.

I know I've left you down
And made you cry so many times
Lord, knows I'm hard to live with
And I've strained the ties that bind.

Sometimes you have to search for me
And call all over town
But the day that I stop loving you
I'll be easy found.

There'll be bells a-ringing, a choir singing
The preacher sayin' how he'll miss much, having me around
But the day I stop loving you I'll be easy found
Six foot deep, six foot down, six foot deep and six foot down.

Yeah, the day that I stop loving you I'll be easy found.
Six foot deep and six foot down, six foot deep and six foot down

Six foot deep, six foot down...

"Size Seven Round (Made Of Gold)"

"Size Seven Round (Made Of Gold)"


With all my love, my dreams, and plans
I placed a ring upon your hand
To seal the endless love we've found
A golden band, size seven round

Size seven round and made of gold
This circle joins us heart and soul
And it won't let our love grow cold
Size seven round and made of gold

The years have passed, our ring is old
But time can't tarnish true love's gold
Each day our love is love and new
There's just no end to love that's true

"Skip A Rope"

"Skip A Rope"


Skip as rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope.

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should of heard the fight they had
Gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip as rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbour for the shade of his skin.

Skip as rope, skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope.

Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game
And mommy and daddy are who's to blame.

Skip a rope, skip a rope
Just listen to the children while they play
It's really not funny, what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.

"Slave Lover"

"Slave Lover"


Well, I just get in my slippers and I light up my pipe
Sit down in my easy chair and fill the thing up right
I hear somebody holler and I jump to my feet
Go take out the garbage or you're gonna hear from me
Slave lover, umm umm, slave lover
She'd tell me not to wait, don't you hesitate
Slave lover, that's what I am.

She sent me upstairs, downstair looking for her brother
Uptown, downtown looking for her mother
People think I'm buggy 'cause I'm lost like a lamb
Won't you tell me baby, who do you think I am
Slave lover, umm umm, slave lover.
She treats me so unfair, she says that I'm a square
Slave lover, that's what I am.

Well, I go turn out the light and then I jump in bed
I got to get up early 'cause that's what she said
I go to church on Sunday and I hurry home fast
I just get through the door and she says take out the trash
Slave lover, umm umm, slave lover
She tells me not to wait, don't you hesitate
Slave lover, that's what I am.

She sent me upstairs, downstair looking for her brother
Uptown, downtown looking for her mother
People think I'm buggy 'cause I'm lost like a lamb
Won't you tell me baby, who do you think I am
Slave lover, umm umm, slave lover
She treats me so unfair, she says that I'm a square
Slave lover, that's what I am.

Slave lover that's what I am
Slave lover that's what I am
Slave lover that's what I am
Slave lover that's what I am...

"Slow Burning Fire"

"Slow Burning Fire"


My shoulder still burns
Where you touched me last night
You hugged me and walked out the door
We've been pretending
That we're only friends
But tonight we can feel something more.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

You look in my eyes
Just a little too long
Before I can look away
But lately I've caught you
Staring at me
With a new kind of look on your face.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

"Smack Dab In The Middle"
(feat. Johnny Paycheck)

"Smack Dab In The Middle"
(feat. Johnny Paycheck)



Pick me a town in any clime
Where people like a rockin' time
And stay awake both day and night
Till everybody's feelin' right.

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be Smack dab in the middle
Ah smack dab in the middle boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul.

Ten Cadillacs and diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill
A ten room house some Bar BQ
And fifty chicks not over twenty-two.

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be Smack dab in the middle
Ah smack dab in the middle boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul.

[ guitar ] One hundred beds with chorus girls
A street that's paved with natural pearls
A wagon load of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door at Fort Knox.

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be Smack dab in the middle
Ah smack dab in the middle boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul.

A lot of bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and somethin' sweet
Gallons of beer to wash it down
Bicarbonated soda by the pound.

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
I wanna be Smack dab in the middle
Ah smack dab in the middle boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul.

Yeah, smack dab in the middle
I wanna be Smack dab in the middle
Ah smack dab in the middle boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul...

"Small Time Laboring Man"

"Small Time Laboring Man"


A dollar an hour, eight hours a day
Will soon make a young man wither away
I work for my family with my wrinkled hands
For I'm a small time laboring man.

Six long days each week I toil and I sweat
But on Sunday my family gives me comfort and rest
Then again Monday morning I'll make tracks in the sand
For I'm a small time laboring man.

I'm a small time laboring man
Fighting against trying as hard as I can
I fight for my country with my caloused hands
For I'm a small time laboring man.

Twelve long months each year my life stays the same
Making my honest dollar in the sun, snow and rain
No, you don't see my family on the starvation plan
For I'm a small time laboring man
