"Turn It Around In Your Mind"

"Turn It Around In Your Mind"



Well every love has got two sides and a love just cannot live
If one side always takes and never gives
So put yourself here in my place and just think how it would be
If I always hurt you like you hurt me

Turn it around in your mind turn it around see what you find
Look at our love from my point of view
And see all the hurt I'm a goin' through
Just turn it around in your mind turn it around in your mind

Well you know I'll always forgive so you don't care if you're untrue
Cause you know I've swallowed all my pride for you
But if you care for me at all then just picture if you can
How one sided our love looks from where I stand

Just turn it around in your mind...
Just turn it around in your mind...

"U.S. Male"

"U.S. Male"



I'm a US male cause I was born in a south Georgia town on a Sunday morn
Now Georgia just happens to occupy a place
In the southeastern portion of these United States
Now that's a fact buddy and you know it well
So I just call myself the US male m-a-l-e son that's me

Now I said all that to say all this
I've been watchin' the way you've been watchin' my miss
For the past three weeks you've been hot on her trail
You kinda upsettin’ the US male
Now you touch her once with your greasy hand
I'm gonna stretch your neck like a long rubber band
Cause she's wearin' a ring that I bought her on sale
So that makes her the property of this US male

So you'd better not mess with the US male my friend
If the US male gets mad he's gonna do you in
If you know what's good for yourself son you'd go find ya somebody else son
Don't tamper with the property of the US male

Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
The US male is on his toes
So quit watchin' my woman cause that ain't wise
You ain't pullin' no wool over this boy's eyes
Now I catch you round my woman champ
I'm gonna leave your head bout the shape of a stamp
Kind of flattened out so you'd do well to quit playin' games with the US male

So you'd better not mess with the US male my friend...
Tell him guitar yeah yeah

Now I'm tellin' ya son keep your greasy meat hooks off my woman

"Ugly Woman"



I ain't gonna drink no more tobacco I ain't gonna smoke no more moonshine
I'm through lookin' at good lookin' women ain't gonna bother now to waste my time
Ain't gonna drink no more black coffee thinkin' about her till the break of daylight

Son I'm a gonna put on my walkin' shoes I'm gonna walk down the avenues
I'm gonna keep on walkin' till I find an ugly woman to love
I don't care if she's short don't care if she's fat
Just as long as she's good to me that's where it's at
I'm gonna find me an ugly woman to love son

I ain't gonna drink no more tobacco...
Well I'm a gonna put on my walkin' shoes...
Well I'm gonna walk down the avenues...
Well I'm a gonna put on my walkin' shoes...

"Wabash Cannonball"

"Wabash Cannonball"


Hmm from the big Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
As she climbs along the woodlands to the hills and by the shore
Well she's a mighty big and handsome and she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination called the Wabash Cannonball

Well now she came in from Birmingham one cold December day
And as she rolled into the station well you could hear all the people say
Now there's a little gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She just came in from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

[ guitar ]
Now here's to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
His earthly race is over and the curtains around him fall
And we'll take him home to Victory on the Wabash Cannonball

"Wayfaring Stranger"

"Wayfaring Stranger"



I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this land below
But there'll be no sadness there'll be no sorrow
In this land to which I go

I'm going there going there to see my mama yes I am
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going going over home

I'm going there to see my mama
I'm going there no more to roam
Oh yes I'm just going going over Jordan
I'm just a going going over home
I'm just a going I'm going over over home

"We've Called It Everything Else"

"We've Called It Everything Else"



We called it heaven and we called it perfect
We called our sweet love a beautiful song
So we called the preacher and friend's for the weddin'
But I guess we just called it all wrong

Cause now we're callin' our lawyers and signin' up papers
And callin' the whole thing a mess
Yes we're callin' it off and why not I guess
Cause we called it everything else

We called it love when we started
We were so young and our hearts were on fire
We looked just right together
They called you and me the perfect pair

But soon the boat started rockin'
And the new all wore off
And all that sunshine turned to rain
We started off callin' each other darlin'
But now we're callin' each other names

We called it heaven and we called it perfect...
Cause now we're callin' our lawyers and signin' up papers...

We called it heaven and we called it perfect...
Cause now we're callin' our lawyers and signin' up papers...

"When My Blue Moon Turns"

"When My Blue Moon Turns"



Those memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my little heart grow cold
But some day they gonna live again sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay

Those sweet lips that used to thrill me so
Your sweet kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they'll live again sweetheart
But my golden moon is just a memory

When my blue moon turns to gold again...

When my blue moon turns to gold again...

"When You're Hot, You're Hot"

"When You're Hot, You're Hot"



Son well now me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
Fin'lly they just threw up their hands and said
When you're hot you're hot I said yeah

When you're hot you're hot
And when you're not you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again
When you're hot you're hot

(La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
When you're hot you're hot)

Well now every time I rolled 'em dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me I turned around
And there was a big ole cop
He said hello boy then he gave us a grin
Said looks like I'm gonna have to haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence I said well son
When you're hot you're hot

He said yeah when you're hot you're hot
And when you're not you're not
You can 'splain it all down at city hall
I said yeah when you're hot you're hot

(La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
When you're hot you're hot)

Well when he took us into court I couldn't believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said hey judge old buddy old pal
I'll pay you that hundred I owe you if you get me out of this spot
So he gave my friend a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
Ninety days Jerry when you're hot you're hot
And I said thanks a lot

When you're hot you're hot
And when you're not you're not
You let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said well when you're hot you're hot

I said well I tell you one thing judge old buddy old pal
If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take you out back of this courthouse
And I'd try a little bit of you on my own you understand that you hillbilly
Who's gonna collect my welfare pay for my Cadillac
Whadda ya mean contempt of court
Judge oh judge

"With His Pants In His Hands"

"With His Pants In His Hands"



With his pants in his hand
Out the window down the alley
He's travelled mountains and valleys
With his pants in his hand

Ole Boston town so sincere
Beautiful girl young musketeer
Then comes along ole Paul Revere
Says hey the redcoats are here

So with his pants in his hand and his shoes
Out the window down the alley and his shirt
He's travelled mountains and valleys and human dale
With his pants in his hand
I love it

When she invited him inside
Well how was he supposed to know she was a bride
Then her husband knocked that frontdoor down
And you outta seen him buggie out of town

When every opportunity knocks
Well he plays it slyer than a box
Well bout the time he gets right down to his sock
He hears a key in the front door lock

So with his pants in his hand...

Sweet land of liberty he craves
Land of the free and the home of the brave
But when his hide he needs to save
That boy ain't gonna turn around to wave

Right down through history he runs
Dodgin' an arrow and a gun
And no matter what the people have to say
He'll live to love another day

Yes with his trousers in his hand honey
He couldn't take the elevator
Don't step on the dog son
And look out for that clothesline
Boogity boogity boogity around them garbage cans

"With You (Missing You)"

"With You (Missing You)"



With you missing you
Such a funny thing to do
Almost lonely thing to do
With you missing you

Don't try to pretend
That we can make it live again
For we've already seen it end
With you missing you

Maybe time has taken from us
The things that may be good ones
Old is nothing new it wasn't me it wasn't you
So don't blame me I don't blame you

Pack your yesterdays
But don't let them get in your way
For there's no reason now to stay
With you

Maybe time has taken from us
The things that may be good ones
All those pretty yesterdays
I don't blame you
