"Little Thing Called You"

"Little Thing Called You"


Woman lose my number
You can't get to me
My pockets ain't deep enough
Your eyes were seeing green
I caught you lyin', you're a cheat
Oh Lord shame on me
I loved you once
Tried you twice
But you've become bad company

Somebody call the rescue
'Cause I think I'm on the edge
Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer
You keep poundin' in my head
While you were on the phone lyin' to me
You were lyin' next to who
It ain't nothing to do about the heartache
It's just a little thing called you

All my friends did tell me
But I could not believe
Well you were doin' me wrong
When I was gone
How wicked can you be?

Yeah a black cat crosses many roads
Chills you to the bone
I might be hurt, but I won't cry
'Cause I'm a man that's not alone

Somebody call the rescue
'Cause I think I'm on the edge
Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer
You keep poundin' in my head
While you were on the phone lyin' to me
You were lyin' next to who
It ain't nothing to do about the heartache
It's just a little thing called you

Somebody call the rescue
'Cause I think I'm on the edge
Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer
Girl you're poundin' in my head
While you were on the phone lyin' to me
You were lyin' next to who
It ain't nothing to do about the heartache
Yeah it ain't nothing to do about the heartache
It's just a little thing called you
A LITTLE THING CALLED YOU!
A LITTLE THING CALLED YOU!

"Love Don't Always Come Easy"

"Love Don't Always Come Easy"


Two young lovers meet and take each others hand
They say I do in the name of the Lord
Livin' as one givin' all they can
Then the pressures come and a child is born
Young girl cradles the child in her arms
The man's home late and his day's too long
They're both unable to spend some time alone
That everybody needs to have
That's the thing that keeps love strong

[chorus]
Love don't always come easy
And sometimes love it can hurt
Words don't always come easy
It's worth a try we're gonna make it work
'Cause love don't always come easy

Without warning many go a different way
And travel that road lookin' for someone
Their lives unravel a little more every day
This ain't no time to turn and run
It's a crime to throw it all away

[repeat chorus]

"Low Down Dirty"

"Low Down Dirty"


It said 3:30 on my watch
Big show don't start 'till 9:00
Thought a cold one sure would hit the spot
She started pouring shots

It was only me and her in there
"Let's get outta here"
Might lose my job but I don't care
Come along if you dare

Lay down my tailgate
Hey boy...What'chu say?!

Do a little day drinkin'
A little bit of love makin'
A whole lot of world shakin'
Then we'll do it again
Do it again
Start from the sun shinin'
Go until the stars are in the sky
Boy don't you leave me hangin'
'Cause it's never too late...
To get down and dirty!

Oh Down and Dirty

I turned up her radio
She started dancin' real slow
Like she was puttin' on a show
3 hours left to rock and roll
Wet sweat was pourin' off her skin
Her body made me wanna sin
Right then my buzz was kickin' in
She had a devil's grin

And then a bus drove by
She flipped them the bird
She looked me in the eye and said
You give me the urge!

To do a little day drinkin'
A little bit of love makin'
A whole lot of world shakin'
Then we'll do it again
Do it again
Start from the sun shinin'
Go until the stars are in the sky
Boy don't you leave me hangin'
'Cause it's never too late...
To get down and dirty!

Oh Down and Dirty!

Do a little day drinkin'

A little bit of love makin'

Do a little day drinkin'
A little bit of love makin'
A whole lot of world shakin'
Then we'll do it again
Do it again
Start from the sun shinin'
Go until the stars are in the sky
Boy don't you leave me hangin'
'Cause it's never too late...
To get down and dirty!

"Lucky Man"

"Lucky Man"


MMMMMmmmmMMMMMmmm....

Well it took so long for me to realize
That my destiny was right before my eyes
If it were up to me to travel through this life
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams

I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man

I'd like to thank you for the times that you have been with me
I hope it meant as much to you to share these memories
There's a guiding light that always seems to shine on me
If I did it again I'd be happy 'til the end

I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man

It's right here in the moonlight...

Whooooooooohhhoooooohhhh
I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I'm a lucky man
Yeah

MMMMMmmmmMMMMMmmm.... I'm a lucky man
Whooooooooohhhoooooohhhh.... just a lucky man

"Made In The Shade"

"Made In The Shade"


"Well when I was a young-un they used to teach me to play music like this here..."

When I look in your face baby
When I look in your eyes
I can tell pretty mama I been wastin' time
'Cause you don't really love me
You just love me for what I am
But you best treat me right, woman
Gonna lose your money man

Well when I first met you baby, you was a red light girl
But I tried to take you to better world
But you would not listen
Still you think I am a fool
Well you had it made in the shade, baby
Don't let that tree fall down on you

Well I work the railroad each and every day
Well I work real hard tryin' to make my pay
Lord I never tell you what you supposed to say
Girl you had it made in the shade
Don't let that tree fall down on you

"Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye)"

"Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye)"


She'd wake us up early every mornin'
She'd help us say our prayers every night
She was always there to help us through the hard times
We could count on her to make everything alright

I remember swingin' on the front porch
Papa said there's somethin' I need to say tonight
Mama's been sick for a long time
Let's pray to God she can make it through the night

[chorus]
Mama don't wanna say goodbye
She said wipe those tears from your eyes
Mama I don't wanna say goodbye
It was written in the Heavens and the skies above
Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try
Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye

Now kids I've been hangin' on a long time
I hate to leave this world before your grown
Remember everything that I've taught you
Remember all the good times when I'm gone

[repeat chorus]

She whispered in my ear before she passed away
Son it's time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say
Jesus walked on water I know it's true
When it comes time he'll call you home
I hope your ready too

[repeat chorus]

"Mama's Song"

"Mama's Song"


Mama used to send us early to bed on Christmas Eve
She became Santa's helper and they took care of me
We would wake up early from our beds only to see
The love she had for all of us was left beneath the tree

One day I know we'll be together
When the Lord brings me to you
Then I know, I will be in Heaven
When my eyes can rest on you

But until then I will remember
All the good times that we've shared
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
On Christmas Day I know you'll be there too

Now that I am all grown up with children of my own
I see the happiness in their eyes, somehow I wish I'd known
But not a Christmas Day goes by, that I will not see
The gift you gave to all of us was the love you gave to me

One day I know we'll be together
When the Lord brings me to you
Then I know I will be in Heaven
When my eyes can rest on you

But until then I will remember
All the good times that we shared
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
Mama, on Christmas Day I know you'll be there too

One day I know we'll be together
Then I know I will be in Heaven
I won't have to remember
'Cause I'm standing there with you
Of a time that you and I always knew
Mama, on Christmas Day I'll finally be with you

Joy to the world, the Lord has come

"Mean Streets"

"Mean Streets"


Raised up with two kinds of people
The good ones and the bad
I was taught from early on
The only choice I had

Now I see, it's clear to me
What was in the plan
Had to walk the walk and talk the talk
And try to be a man

I swear the wind took me away
But now I'm here again today, yeah

I'm back on the mean streets
Oh, it's the only thing I know
Never change me, it was born in my soul
And it don't take much to make me mad
Push me a little and I bring back
I've a mean streak, oh
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets

Somebody stole my money
I heard a brother say
Used to we'd fight it out
That was yesterday

Just because you're packin' son
Don't make you a man
If you shoot to kill, what's the thrill
Why don't you understand

Each time I walk outside my door
We need a change and that's for sure

I'm back on the mean streets
Oh, it's the only thing I know
Never change me, it was born in my soul
And it don't take much to make me mad
Push me a little and I bring back
I've a mean streak, oh
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets

Do you ever think about where you're goin'?
Have you ever thought about where you've been?
Will you ever pass this way again?
There's a fear and you know it
But inside, you can't show it
No where for you to run and hide

I'm back on the mean streets
Yes, it's the only thing I know
Never change me, it was born in my soul
And it don't take much to make me mad
Push me a little and I bring back
I've a mean streak
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets

Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets, baby
I'm back on the mean streets
I'm back on the mean streets
On the mean streets
Don't take much to take me back
