"Mississippi Blood"

"Mississippi Blood"


[JVZ:] She’s got Mississippi Blood runnin’ through her veins
Her mama was a looker from New Orleans
[RM:] Daddy worked hard with a gun in his boot
Blow you away click bang boom boom
[JVZ:] Good ol’ dude said she broke his heart
Threw it on the ground – stomped it hard
[RM:] But I wanna tell you a little song I know
Before they be carvin’ my name in stone

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[RM:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[JVZ:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] Cut off jeans, tied t-shirt
Drinkin’ from the bottle – rollin’ in the dirt
Foot on the gas – el camino
“Ridin’ With the King” on the Radio

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[RM:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[JVZ:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[BOTH:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in
She reads from the good book just to be bad
Lyin’ in the hay – she likes to move fast
An old blues song stuck in my head
Work all day and...

[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a dirty little thing – crazy as hell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s my rock-n’-roll queen – sweet southern bell
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh
[BOTH:] She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
[BOTH:] Oooh Oooh

[BOTH:] Like an old blues song stuck in my head
[JVZ:] Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in

'Cause down in Alabama
You can run, but you sure can't hide

"Money Man"

"Money Man"


This song goes out to all the money men

He drives around in a fancy car
Smokes those long cuban cigars
He don't know how to play guitar
He can't sing but still the pretty girls think he's a star

We play music got families to feed
Ain't good with numbers and he knows we can't read
If we get a dollar you know he gets three
It ain't hard to figure out it's as simple as can be
Don't ask me ask the money man

These boys are livin' in a fantasy land
I just keep 'em on the road so they can pay the money man
I'll be long gone before they understand
My promises are strong like a road made out of sand

I wanna be your money man
My mortgage is picked up by the band
I wanna be your money man
The boys, oh they're sleepin' out in the van

Don't ask me ask the money man
You boys are livin' in fantasy land
You signed the dotted line I'm takin' all I can
Your money's lookin' good in my retirement plan
That's just the way it is when your playin' in a band

That's my money man down on his knees
He ain't prayin' but he damn sure ought to be
He's at a place where money doesn't grow on trees
And all his prison buddies doin' more than shoot the breeze
How does it feel no money man
Not too good
What did you do with my money man
Well I a... Well a you know a...
How does it feel to be a honey man
Are you sure that your still a man

Aw your dressed up like a little girl
Just shootin' the breeze down on your knees
Money man, oh money man

"Mr. Banker"

"Mr. Banker"


Mister Banker
Mister please, how much does money mean
Won't you reconsider mister
Won't you do this thing for me
Ain't got no house
Ain't got no car
All I got, Lord, is my guitar
But you can have that mister banker
Won't you bury my papa for me
Oh mister banker please
Listen to how that sound

I would not be here on my knees
But hey mister banker
It means so much to me
Oh won't you reconsider mister
Won't you do this thing for me

I told you mister
I ain't got no house
Ain't got no car
I got me a 1950 Les Paul guitar
Won't you take it mister banker
Won't you bury my papa for me
Oh mister banker please

"Need All My Friends"

"Need All My Friends"


Woman, I have to leave you
I can't stay where there is no pay
And I really don't care where I'm going to

Its been so long since I've been gone
Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home
My throat is raw from singing the blues

Need all my friends to talk to
Now yes I do
Need all my friends to talk to

Gonna search around till I find a friend
Who believes in me for what I am
Sing my song till it hurts

Play my music till I hit pay dirt
Now I got to sing my song
Got to play my music do the things I love

Its been so long since I've been gone
Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home
My throat is raw from singing the blues

Need all my friends to talk to
Now yes I do
Need all my friends to talk to

"Never Too Late"

"Never Too Late"


In this world that we all live in
Its all takin' and there's no givin'
Before its too late,somethings gotta change

Go to work every day for the dollar
Doesn't matter we're all blue collar
At the end of the day
Nothin' lost, nothin' gained
But its about time we realized
Its about time we opened our eyes
Take one step back and look at yourself
Do you like what you see
Oh no
Cause its never too late
Doesn't matter who you are
Its never too late
Hold on to your dreams and they will take you far
Cause its never too late
No, no, no

So many times I've seen you cryin'
But I see you out there still tryin'
Workin' hard just to get through another day
As a freind I'm here to remind you
We all have a place to belong to
Who am I? See I'm just like you
But its about time we realized
Its about time we opened our eyes
Take one step back and look at yourself
Do you like what you see
Oh no
Cause its never too late
Doesn't matter who you are
Its never too late
Hold on to your dreams and they will take you far
Cause its never too late

We all need a helpin' hand sometimes
And I need one if you were mine
So right here, right now
You can count on me
Just open your eyes and you will see
That its never too late
No,no,no
Cause its never too late, it doesn't matter who you are
Its never too late
Hold on to your dreams and they will take you far
Cause its never too late
Cause its never too late, it doesn't matter who you are
Its never too late
You don't need a guitar son to be a star
Cause its never too late
No, no, no
Its never too late
No
Cause its never too late
Take a look around
Cause its never too late

"None Of Us Are Free"

"None Of Us Are Free"


You better listen my brother
'Cause if you do you can hear
There are voices still callin' from across the years
And they're cryin' across the ocean
And they're cryin' across the land
And they will until we all come to understand

That none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

Well there are people in the darkness
And they just can't see the light
And if we don't say it's wrong then that says it's right
We got to feel for each other
Let our brothers know we're here
Got to get the message and send it out loud and clear

That none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free
Well it's the single truth
We all need to see
That none of are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

Well I swear to you salvation isn't very hard to find
None of us can find it on our own
We got to join together. Spirit, heart and mind
All the are suffering, knows they're not alone

None of us are free
None of us are free

If you just look around you
You're see what I say
'Cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day
Now it's time to make some changes
Now it's time all realized
That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes

'Cause none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

Well it's the very heart of humanity
'Cause none of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us are free

None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us are free

None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free
'Cause it's the very truth
We all need to see
That none of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

"Nothing Comes Easy"

"Nothing Comes Easy"


Oh another hot cup of coffee – I’m up at 5 am
These old worn out workin’ boots look like these beat up hands
But I get up and I do it – because people depend on me
Tryin’ to keep my faith in this American Dream
Paychecks goin’ down…
Prices are goin’ up…
Takes most of my money just to fill my pick-up truck…

Nothin’ Comes Easy – tryin’ to feed my family
Nothin’ Comes Easy – for a workin’ class like me
I’ve been doin’ time on the line – listen you don’t understand
Nothin’ comes easy
Nothin’ comes easy

Let’s put back the pieces to this broken promised land
All this crazy spending – I don’t understand
Politicians preachin’ – but it don’t never change
Same ol’ lines and bullshit – might as well flush it all down the drain!
Nobody wants to say it – but I’m gonna speak my mind
We’re all in this together but we’re running out of time!

Nothin’ Comes Easy – tryin’ to feed my family
Nothin’ Comes Easy – for a workin’ class like me
I’ve been doin’ time on the line – listen you don’t understand
Nothin’ comes easy

Not for a man like me
Yeah when your back’s up against the wall
And the wolf’s knocking at your door
LISTEN MR. PRESIDENT BECAUSE WE CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

Nothin’ Comes Easy – tryin’ to feed my family
Nothin’ Comes Easy – for a workin’ class like me
I’ve been out here puttin’ it on the line – listen you don’t understand
Nothin’ comes easy

It ain’t easy – for a workin’ class like me
Nothin’ comes easy – tryin’ to feed my family
I’ve been out here puttin’ it on the line – listen you don’t understand
Nothin’ comes easy…easy
NOTHING COMES EASY!!!

"Now Soon We Forget"

"Now Soon We Forget"


Every time I think I got it all figured out
Then I draw a blank and my whole world crashes down
So many people have got it worse than me
But that could change tomorrow, ain't no guarantee

How soon we forget
To count every blessing
If you think you got it bad take a look around
How soon we forget
That life is one big lesson
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
How soon we forget

Got a freind of mine who says he's run all out of luck
But he'll be fine, 'cause he just ain't drunk enough
The world is empty when you're slammin' those shots down
How can you be happy, son when the devil's hangin' 'round

How soon we forget
To count every blessing
If you think you got it bad take a look around
How soon we forget
That life is one big lesson
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
How soon we forget
How soon we forget

Just remember, thank God you're here today
If you got the will you can find a way

How soon we forget... oh, baby

How soon we forget
To count every blessing
If you think you got it bad take a look around
How soon we forget
That life is one big lesson
Still we make the same mistakes time and time again
There's a message to this madness here my freind
Will we ever learn before the story ends

Soon we all forget
How soon we forget
Soon we forget.. ooh
Take a look around and you will see
Soon we all forget... oh

So many people have got it worse than me
Oh.. can't you see
How soon we all forget
