"Middle Age Crazy"

"Middle Age Crazy"


Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal
On a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual grey business suit
He's got jeans and high boots
With an embroidered star
An today he's forty years old going on twenty
Don't look for the grey in his hair
'Cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him
That just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
He's gotta a woman he's loved for a long long time at home

Ah but the thrill is all gone
When they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they spent a while coming by
Been a long uphill climb
But now the profits are high
But today he's forty years old going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs and he ain't had any
And the young thing beside him
You know she understands
That he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can

"Miss The Mississippi And You"

"Miss The Mississippi And You"


I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore

I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you

Memories are bringing happy days of yore
Miss the Mississippi and you
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roamin the wide world over
Always alone and blue
Longing form my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you

"Mississippi Kid"
(feat. Derek Trucks & Doyle Bramhall II)
(originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd)



I've got my pistols in my pockets boys,
I'm Alabama bound.
I've got my pistols in my pockets boys, I'm
I'm Alabama bound.
Well, I'm not looking for no trouble
But nobody dogs me 'round.

Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come.
Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come
'Cause she was raised up on that cornbread
And I know she's gonna give me some.

When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round.
When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round.
'Cause if you people cause me trouble,
Then I've got to put you in the ground.

Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don't take any stuff from you
Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don't take any stuff from you
And if I hit you on your head
Boy, its got to make you black and blue.

Well, I ride to Alabama
With my pistols out by my side
Well, I ride to Alabama
With my pistols out by my side
'Cause down in Alabama
You can run, but you sure can't hide

"Mom And Dad's Waltz"

"Mom And Dad's Waltz"


I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time you're walking by my side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide.

No matter what may be the style or season
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But, most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

"More And More"

"More And More"


More and more
I'm forgetting the past
More and more I'm livin' at last
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you

You know how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried when you said "goodbye"
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you

But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried when you said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you

Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you

"Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down"

"Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down"


The alarm clock woke my sleepin' I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringing about the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
Reached out for my baby for some early morning lovin'
Terrible truth came staggerin' through my head
Lord there was nothin' that goes on to lay around me
That woman she wasn't beside the Killer in the bed
(It's the mornin' after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found)
Only silence to torment me no soft hands to touch me gently
It's the mornin' after baby let me down

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
My God I was tremblin' like a leaf
How could that woman leave me she was more than just a lover
Every bit a lady warm and sweet
I can taste the salty teardrops it's gettin' hard to swallow
But a glass of bourbon takes that lump away (yes it does)
Ain't got no appetite for eatin' I got sick I got an empty feelin'
What a good for nothing way to start the day
(It's the mornin' after baby...
Yeah it's the mornin' after baby...

"Mother The Queen Of My Heart"

"Mother The Queen Of My Heart"


I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet grew
I had the kindest mother how happy we were just we two
Till one day the angels called her it's the debt that we all have to pay
She'd call me close to her bedside these last few words she did say
Now son don't start drinking or gambling promise you'll always go straight
Ten years have passed since that parting that promise I've broke I must say
I started drinking for past time at last Lord I was just like them all
I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I'd ever fall
One night I've bet all my money nothing was left to be seen
All that I needed to break them was one card and that was a Queen
Cards were delt all round the table each man took a card from the draw
But I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here's what I saw
I saw mama's picture somehow she seemed to say
Son you have broken your promise I tossed those cards away
My winnings I gave to a newsboy cause I knew I was wrong from the start
And I'll never forget that promise to mother the Queen of my heart

"Move On Down The Line"

"Move On Down The Line"


Well, you can't be my lovin', baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild

I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time

You're gonna leave me square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a struttin', we gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time

Yeah, I'm gonna show, you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get, what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone

We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin', truly fine

A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a struttin', she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time

"My Blue Heaven"

"My Blue Heaven"


Just Mollie and me,
And the Baby makes three,
Oh We're happy in My Blue Heaven.
You will turn to the right,
Little Bright light
Will lead you to My
My Blue Heaven

[Chorus]

You'll see a smiling face,
A fire place, a little room,
A little nest
That's nestled where the roses bloom.
Mollie and me, and Baby makes three,
We're happy in My Blue Heaven.

"My Carolina Sunshine Girl"

"My Carolina Sunshine Girl"


Moon moon I can see you sinking low
You make me think of a sweetheart a little girl that I love so
After I wonder the whole night through wondering if you think of me
Why am I lonesome thinking of someone I'm thinking only of you
My Carolina sunshine girl you have turned my heart to stone
My Carolina sunshine girl you have left me all alone
I wonder why I sit and cry
When I really should laugh at your photograph
For you're the sweetest angel in this world
And I love love love you my Carolina sunshine girl
I wonder why I sit and cry
When I really should laugh at your little old photograph
For you're the sweetest angel in this world
And I love love love you my Carolina sunshine girl
