"The Guy You Left Behind"

"The Guy You Left Behind"



Nothin' I do can satisfy my mind
My friends keep tellin' me your not my kind
No your not girl
I'm not the kind of guy to speak just idle talk
I don't no wanna lose my somethin' fine
I ain't a asking very much of you child
Tell me 'bout the guy you left behind

My friends all tell me that you'll leave me blue
Yes the same way, just the way
That you left him too, yeah!
Why won't you tell me whatta happened that day
Will it be any different this time
What did he do to make you drive him away
Tell me 'bout the guy you left behind

You know that my love for you is true
Sometime I wonder do you love me to?
What I say now!
I said now every time you kiss sets my heart aflame
But there's one thing that worries my mind
I said you always whisperin' some other guys name
Tell me 'bout the guy you left behind

I wanna know, I wanna know I just, gotta know
Woah yeah, I wanna know, please tell me child

"Third Degree"



Got me accused of peeping

Got me accused of petting

And ain't nary one of them was mine

Bad luck
Bad luck is killing me

Well, I just can't stand
No more of this third degree

"Tin Pan Alley"

"Tin Pan Alley"


Tin Pan Alley is a dirty place
The very place my baby loves to stay
Tin Pan Alley blues is killin' me
It's killin' me

I met a women down there
I really want to see

She little and cute, she's young and wild
I just want to hold her in my arm for a little while
So that the Tin Pan Alley blues will let me be
Let me be

'Cause [?]
If you only would agree

You see I love you for yourself
Your just the kind of women
That don't seam to care

Tin Pan Alley, baby must be your home
Well, nothing down there, baby
But blood and bones
Yes, yes

Tin Pan Alley, it's way across town
People like to kick the dog
When the sun goes down

Tell you baby
Please make it up in your mind
Because a women like you darling
Is sure hard to find

"Tired Of Tryin'"

"Tired Of Tryin'"



Well, I'm tired of tryin', so tired of tryin'
You know I'm tired of tryin', well I'm so tired of tryin'
So tired of tryin', tryin' to get along with you

You put salt in my coffee
Sawdust in my brew
I'm just here to cash it in
Don't you think that's mighty rude

Tired of tryin', so tired of tryin'
I'm so tired of tryin', tryin' to get along with you

You always told me, mama,
You don't need other man
And really do believe it's true
You already got nine or ten

That's why I'm tired of tryin', I'm so tired of tryin' (Lord it's true)
I'm so tired of tryin', tryin' to get along with you

Yeah I'm tired, man!

(Gotta believe it now...)

(Instrumental)

(Go and rock!)
(Guitar!)

Baby, you call that gone
I gotta get through to somebody new
To carry my business on

Tired of tryin', I'm so tired of tryin'
I'm so tired of tryin', tryin' to get along with you

Lord, so tired of tryin', tryin' to get along with you
Yeah, I'm tired of tryin' mama, tryin' to get along with you

"Tobacco Road"

"Tobacco Road"



I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of tobacco road.

Growin' up lord in a rusty shack,
And all I had was hangin' on my back.
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.

But it's home,
The only life, life, life I've ever known.
And I guess I can't help but
Loathe Tobacco.

Gonna leave, and get a job
With the help and the grace from above.
I'll save my money, get rich and old,
And I think I'll bring it all back to Tobacco Road.

Bring dynamite and a big old crane,
And I'll blow it up, start all over again.
I'm gonna build me a town, that Ill be proud to show.
And I think I'll give it the name Tobacco Road.

But it's home,
The only life I've ever known.
I guess I can't help but love you
'Cause you're home

Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Whoah, Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a big old crane,
I'll blow it up, tear it down and start all over again.
I guess I can't help but I love...
I love you...
Yeah...
Tobacco...!

I love you!
Oh I love you!
Oh I love you!
I love you!
I love you!
I love you!

I love you 'cause you're home
I'm talkin' 'bout Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah!

"Treat Me Like You Wanta"

"Treat Me Like You Wanta"



You can treat me like you wanta honey
Use me like a tool
Well you treat me like you wanta
Use me like a fool
You know I'll be your man
But I ain't gonna be your fool

You know that people are talkin'
In my neighbourhood
Yeh you know that people are talkin'
In my neighbourhood
They tell me you don't love me,
That you don't mean me no good

Well when your rent is due
I know when you'll come around
But when I need some lovin' girl
You can't be found

You treat me like you wanta
Use me like a tool
Well I'll be your man
But I ain't gonna be your fool

You know we're playin' poker
And the last deal just went down
If you can't get it right
You'd better get out of town

You treat me like you wanta
Use me like a fool
Well I'll be your man
But I ain't gonna be your fool

"Tribute To Muddy"

"Tribute To Muddy"



Woah, Lord I wish, Lord I wonder what happens
Answer's the nickel, a deep blues sea
I tore all the good looking women somewhere
Sure enough baby that's me, 'cause it's gonna happen

Lord my mother, well so as my father
About three months long before I was born
Said I got a boy child coming
Sure enough it gonna be a rolling stone
Lord I'm gonna get a rolling stone man

Lord I'm broke
Lord I'm broke
Now I reckon I better do
Lord if I clean up little girls
Then I go home with you
Yeah man I'm gonna walk

Woah, Lord it's true, two things running
Lord I believe you're the worst child in my way
We're gonna watch them run at midnight
But the one that's running just gonna lie dead

Lord she's lone yeah and she's tall
Lord she weeps like a banshee
Lord the folks they say she's no good
But she's all right with me, 'cause I'll be right there

Woah, ho, ho
Somebody help me, help me, I always lose
Lord see if the girl don't love the man you know
That's when I do the voodoos
Ah, don't make you hurt honey

"Trick Bag"

"Trick Bag"



Twelve o' clock at night, you walk out the door
You told me baby you were going to the drugstore
Well in my mind I knew you were lying
The drugstore closed at a quarter to nine

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

When I come home, start an argument
Just to keep me from asking where my voodoo went
I peek out the front door, I hear the back door slam
Peep out of my window, somebody's taking on the lam

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah

We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, called your Mom and Dad
Dad said, "She's my daughter and I'm her Pa
But you ain't nothing but a son-in-law"

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense
The way you've been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
