LET'S GO TO TAHITI

LET'S GO TO TAHITI

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Well, the man been working in the shop all year
He said "Men, we've got to get out of here"
Well, the girl been working in the five-and-dime
She says, "Girls, let's go while we've still got the time"
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Tell the captain
"Put the rhum on the boat"
Everybody on board, let's see if she'll float
Let that old jet plane fly on by
We've got the time till the day we die
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti

LIES

LIES

You told me this,
You told me that
You try to tell me,
Tell me where it's at
You said you loved me,
I can see through that
Lies, lies, lies
You left me hangin',
Hangin' from a limb
You said you loved me,
Then you left with him
Lord, you did it to me,
I see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies
Tell me baby,
Why you take my time
You get a thrill off
Playing with my mind
Lord, you did it to me,
I see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies

LIKE YOU USED TO

LIKE YOU USED TO

Cry me a tune in the morning, sing me the blues every night
Tell me that you really love me baby, and everything is alright
Let me know how you're feeling, it don't even have to be true
Just love me for ever, baby baby treat me like you used to
Home, I've been away from home, I'm a travelling man
Welcome me back any time, you are the only one who can
Tell me that you really love me, even if it ain't true
Just do anything, baby baby treat me like you used to
Home, I've been away from home, I'm a travelling man
Welcome me back any time, you are the only one who can
Tell me that you really love me, even if it ain't true
But do anything, baby baby treat me like you used to

LIVIN' HERE TOO

LIVIN' HERE TOO

Don't ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
I was born in a freight train passin' by
My mother was poor, my father too
I'll take anything I can get from you
I did not make this old world, I'm just livin' here too
Been shot three times runnin', cut with a knife
I got four children working, ain't got no wife
Well, the landlord is callin', I'm overdue
If you don't watch my fingers I'll put the touch on you
I did not make this old world, I'm just livin' here too
I didn't make this old world, I'm just livin' here too

Turn around slowly, look behind
I'm comin' from nowhere and not by design
I didn't make this old world, I'm just livin' here too
I didn't make this old world, I'm just livin' here too

LONESOME TRAIN

LONESOME TRAIN

Lonesome train, ride all day
Lonesome train, ride all day
Since I lost my woman, I lost my way
Mr Conductor, where is this train bound
Mr Conductor, where is this train bound
Is it headed up, is it headed down
Lucky for me, I'm on the sunny side
Lucky for me, I'm on the sunny side
Since I lost my woman, it's a lonesome ride
Lonesome train, ride all day
Lonesome train, ride all day
Since I lost my woman, I lost my way

LONG WAY HOME

LONG WAY HOME

Early in the morning, about a quarter to four
Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door
We're heading for the car and we got right in
And that's when I noticed the shape she was in
She turned to me and said right out
Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
Well we drove down town and up in the woods
We drove around and around till I understood
I was holding the wheel, she was making out
And all this time I was driving about
She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck
And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise
There was two big red lights shining in my eyes
I pull over and he drove alongside
And out of his car and up to my right
He looked at her and she looked at him
And the next thing I noticed he got right in
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

LOSERS

LOSERS

Losers, we're just losers
Exclusive club that we're in
Losers, we're just losers
Why don't losers ever win
Came in this morning to spread the word around
Nobody wants to hear what a loser's putting down
Losers, we're just losers
Why don't losers ever win
Been out a-wanderin', bad luck all around
Can't you help a loser get up off the ground

LOU-EASY-ANN

LOU-EASY-ANN

Lou-Easy-Ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lou-Easy-Ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lord, I'm going back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann has set me free
Bourbon Street mama, you've never seen in your life
Bourbon Street mama, you keep it clean out of sight
Lord, I'm going back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann, you've got it right
Lou-Easy-Ann, ain't no woman quite like you
Lou-Easy-Ann, the way you do the things you do
Lord, I'm coming back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann, you've got me hooked on you

LOUISIANA WOMEN

LOUISIANA WOMEN

Had me a gal in Baton Rouge, called her Lou-easy-ann
She gave me a little bit of olden dream and a key of marijuana
She treat me right
Lord, lord, lord, she treat me right
She treat me right, lord, lord
Well, I went on to New Orleans, had myself a ball
The ladies there, they don't care, they don't care at all
They treat you right
Warm, warm, Louisiana night
Treat you right, lord, lord
From the gulf of the Mississippi, up to Baton Rouge
Those Louisiana women, oh lord
Lord, you just can't lose
They treat you right
Treat you right
They treat you right, lord, lord, lord, lord

LOVE HAS BEEN GONE

LOVE HAS BEEN GONE

Love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
I say our love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
How does it feel
Not too good
It ain't real but it's understood
That our love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
It ain't the same, it's just a game we play
Why do we keep on going through it every day
The good lord up above
Only he knows what happened to our sweet love
Love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
