"She's Gone"

"She's Gone"

Mmmmmm

Standing in the doorway
She was crying
Big as life
She was waving me goodbye
The fool that I am
Saw it coming
Did not have to guess the reason why

She said again and again,
"I'll be going."
"And one day you're gonna be here alone."
And right now I'm starting to believe her
She just ain't leavin', she's gone

This ain't the first time
That I've been through this
I know the price I'm gonna pay, you see
I've got one ex-wife already
And it looks like I've got another on the way

She could always tell that I was lying
And God knows that I'd be lying all the time
And sitting here right now
You know that I'm dying
Cause I could not keep myself in line

And it's too late
I'm gonna need her
And the night's are getting cold and long
And I, never will forget that front door slamming
You know, because,
She just ain't leaving, she's gone

"She's Into Something"

"She's Into Something"

(Say what she do!)

[Young Bob on vocals:]
The snappin' of her finger makes the dog wags its tail
The whistle from her voice will make the train jump the rail
Take her to a race track
Show her face
Horse that ain't won in years
Comes in first place

You know that, she's into something
Yeah, she's into something
She's into something
You should be into something, too

Well ya' laughed at her about a week ago
Now she's met a man with a whole lotta dough
And oh yeah, he's rich
I've seen the money
All she had to do was to call the man honey

Honey, honey
She's into something
Yeah, she's into something
Man, she's into something
You should be into something, too

[Cray solo]

Every day of her life
She rides around on wheels
And oh yeah, you might say she's got herself a stone-cold deal
One thing the girl, she don't have to do
Is worry about no money when the payment's due

You know, she's into something
Yeah, she's into something
Man, she's into something
You should be into something, too

Hey, hey
Mmmm
Hey, hey, yeah!
Mmmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Say what she do!)

"Side Dish"

"Side Dish"

Don't like the fire and forget what you doing
Make you baby mad and start her to stewing
When she starts to boil and knocks some steam
You become a sadist if you know what I mean

Appetize a main course don't you understand yeah
If you don't do your prep you get canned
I love you when something's hard to chew
You become a sadist it could happen to you
(cool rabi, turn up, don't cry french fry, escalo, scalium)

You got to tender your cooking every day and every night, yeah
You got to stir it, season it and check that its alright arggh
It is as simple receipe and it ain't hard to do
You became a sadist you be off the menu
(rock a lady, mashed potato, sellery, onion, carrot, oil after that, you'll be crying)

"Simple Things"

"Simple Things"

Look at me
After all these years of lovin'
Can't believe I'm still the one you're dreamin' of
After all these years of love
You still want me

There's a little bit more of me than yesterday
I'm a little bit slower, look at how my hair is grayed
Thought at any time you'd turn and walk away
You still want me

You tell me that you miss me when I go away from home
Just a little overnight trip, honey has it been that long?
How could I have ever done you wrong?
You still want me

I appreciate it
Wooohoohoo
Woohoo,hoo

Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo

You look as good as the day that we first met
Look at you
The simple things that somehow I forget to say to you
Never make you blue

Look at me
After all these years of lovin'
Lucky me, I'm still the one you're dreamin' of
After all these years of love
You still want me

All these lonely years of lovin'
You still want me

All those lonely, lonely years you suffered
You still want me, yeah

Mmmmm

Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Hoooo

Mmmmm

Naaa

Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Hoooo

Naaa,na, na, na, na

Mmmm

I appreciate it

Can't believe I'm still the one you're dreamin' of

You still want me

"Sitting On Top Of The World"

"Sitting On Top Of The World"

One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
My baby's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

You know that I worked all the summer, down on the farm
And oh, I had to take Christmas in my overalls
My baby's gone and I don't worry
Sitting on top of the world

Going down to the freight yard, I'm gonna catch me a train
I believe I hear it coming now
I know that I'm gonna to leave this town, now baby
Worked and got hard

My baby's gone, yes
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Close the door behind you

"Sleeping In The Ground"

"Sleeping In The Ground"

I would rather see you
Sleepin' in the ground
I would rather see you
Sleepin' in the ground
Than to be around here
Knowing you're gonna put me down

Well I gave you all my money
Girl, and every thing that I own
Well I gave you all my money
Little girl, and every thing that I own
Well one day I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road, I'm going

I would rather see you
Sleepin' in the ground
I would rather see you
Sleepin' in the ground
Than to be around here
Knowing you're gonna put me down

"Smoking Gun"

"Smoking Gun"

I get a constant busy signal
When I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling
You're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions
And baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
A still hot and smokin gun

Maybe you want to end it,
You've had your fill of my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me
And you know that I'm not that dumb
I put 2 and 1 together
And you know that's not an easy sum
And I know just where to find you with
A still hot and smokin gun

I'm standing here bewildered,
I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining,
My eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running,
My heart's beating just like a drum
Now they've knocked me down and takin it,
A still hot and smokin gun

Yeah still hot and smokin gun
Yes they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Oh they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Knocked me down, taken it

"So Many Women, So Little Time"

"So Many Women, So Little Time"

Well somebody called and gave me the word
And I'm gonna tell you people just what I heard
I'm gonna tell you for free and it won't cost a dime
There's so many women, so little time

So many women, but so little time

You know sometimes I wonder just why I'm alive
Seems like all we do is try to stay alive
But then I think and remember that line
So many women, so little time

You know there's so many women, so little time

Now every night's a different town
Can't help sometimes from feeling down
But then we get full on smoke or wine, yeah, yeah
There's so many women, so little time

So many women, so little time

You know some people say this life is strange
Some folks say I've got to make a change
Then that thought will cross my mind
And you know there's so many women, so little time

So many women, but so little time

Oh, somebody called and gave me the word
And I've got to tell you people just what I heard
I'm gonna tell you for free, won't charge you a dime
You know there's so many women, so little time

So many women, but so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time
So many women, so little time

"Some Pain, Some Shame"

"Some Pain, Some Shame"

The look on your face
Tells me where you've been

And every time you walk out of that door
I act a fool to let you back in [?]

You're not the only one makin' plans
Before I get burned you need to understand

There'll be some pain, some shame

Now something went wrong
That I didn't see

Even someone who was out of their mind
Couldn't even have mercy on me

I'm not gonna take the blame
What made you decide that we didn't need a thing?

But some pain, some shame

Now something went wrong that I didn't see
Even someone who was out of their mind
Couldn't even have mercy on me

Hangin' around cryin' ain't part of my plans
I'm gonna see you on the witness stand
There'll be some pain, some shame

Man, I mean
Some pain, some shame

"Sonny"

"Sonny"

Sonny was my best friend
He got called to Vietnam

Sonny was my best friend
He went away to Vietnam

Said, "Watch out for my wife and baby"
"And I'll count on you when I'm gone."

I looked in every day
Just like Sonny said

Ohhh, and I'm not sure just when
We both lost our heads

Then I'd hang around at night
And fill her lonely, lonely bed

Sonny made it home
And he's proud of what he's done

Ohhh, but he can't walk too good, no
And he'll never see the sun

And his pain is just beginning
I'm so ashamed of what I've done

Sonny's pain is just beginning
I'm so ashamed of what I've done
