Little Girl

You're gonna be mine, little girl, you've been through 18 years of pain.
You're gonna be mine, little girl, you've been through 18 years of pain.
I'm gonna give you a love, child, you won't feel bad again.
You've been mistreated, little girl, but I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown.
You've been mistreated, little girl, but I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown.
I'm gonna give you a love, child, something you've never known.
You're gonna be mine, little girl, even if I can't have you by my side.
You're gonna be mine, little girl, even if I can't have you by my side.
You're gonna remember the love, child, that made you satisfied.

Key To Love

I never realized that you were in pain.
I wanna help you honey, let me see you again.
Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough.
Life is so bad, baby, when I find the key to love.

Put a smile on your face and dry away your tears.
Life is bound to get better as you live your years.
Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough.
Life is so bad, baby, when I find the key to love.

Somewhere in this world, the one you waited for
Come along and find you, turn the key your door.
Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough.
Life is so bad, baby, when you find the key to love.

You Must Be Crazy

You must be crazy woman
If you don’t believe that I love you
When you cry and get unhappy
You don’t know how it hurts me too
With a little understanding
We’ll get to know each other’s ways
With a little bit of patience
We’d never have unhappy days
I love your lovemaking
Never knew it could be such a game
If you ever left me lonely
I know I’d never be the same
You must be going crazy
If you don’t believe that I’m with you
If I had to live without you
I don’t know what I’d ever do

Where Did My Legs Go To

Get my lips to a bottle every once in a while
Now everything’s crazy, I got a great big smile
But the question I’m asking
Where did my legs go?
Vision doubling and trembling, I’m getting dizzy with light
I got the laziest feeling, I’m feeling all right
But the question I’m asking
Where did my legs go?
Will you pour me another, 'cause I feel like a king
If I tried to go walking it would be a good thing
But the question I’m asking
Where did my legs go?
I’m a lunatic whino, I’m a talking machine
I’m wide awake sleeping, is it really a dream?
But if it isn’t a dream then
Where did my legs go?

Took The Car

Took the car and drove off the hills
Saw the flashing lights and saw them die
Left behind society that kills
Me and Nancy waved them all goodbye
Took the car, the sun was going down
Saw the changing colors of the sky
An old Apache canyon out campground
Secure and safe together made us sigh
Took the car and filled the trunk with wood
Took it back and made of it a fire
To be a child again would be so good
Me and Nancy warm in our desire
Took the car and drove it everywhere
Through the land where all the West began
Desert wind was blowing in our hair
Me and Nancy running hand in hand

Ramblin' On My Mind

I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind
Is to leave my baby, 'cause she treat me so unkind
I'm going down to the station, catch that old first mail train I see
I'm going down to the station, catch that old first mail train I see
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so, and her son's got the blues about me
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind
Lil girl, lil girl, I got mean things all on my mind
Is to leave my baby, 'cause she treat me so unkind

Possessive Emotions

Possessive emotions creeping up on me
I wish my emotions had less jealousy
Don’t want you to be with nobody else but me
Wherever you are that’s where I want to be
Is it wrong to feel this way?
Jealousy go away
When you are out shopping and I’m home alone
Possessive emotions make me wish I’d gone
I look for your car lights coming up the hill
Want to tell you I miss you ... just can’t get my fill
Possessive emotions make me feel so low
Don’t want to be lonesome ‘cause it hurts me so
I’ve got to be with you everywhere you go
If you talk to somebody I just got to know
Is it wrong to feel this way?
Jealousy go away
If I didn’t feel this way about my girl
That she was the only one in all the world
I wouldn’t be caring for her quite so strong
Maybe it’s why my love has been going so long

Off The Road

I’ve traveled the world and had no time to rest
I’ve played for people every day
Living from a suitcase from town to town
Till my nerves began to fray
Dreaming of the day I’d stay at home
I feel like I’ve been on the move too long
Eight years of on the road
Got me a place in the burning sun
Found me the way to go
I’m building up a house to make a home
Found a great love I was looking for
Two people now are one
Her clothes in the closet and her with me
Everything is always fun
Once we had a house but now it’s home
Build up your rooms and decorate your walls
That’s all you have to do
Work in your way till you find your peace
And life can be made for you
It’s good to fell the peace and quiet of home

Night Flyer

Lying awake in the darkness
Your voice is sad in my ear
Now that I’ve just put the phone down
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?
I’m calling the desk for a taxi
The night is so black with the rain
All of my friends are still sleeping
They would never know I was planning to be gone again
I’m the night flyer, I’m waiting
Somebody get me a plane
Airports at night always empty
I smoke too much sitting here
I’m coming home to you darling
Out of the darkness till day
Though you will tell me I’m crazy
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?

Deep Blues Sea

My loving woman and me lying in the sand
We’re on a holiday out in a foreign land
Sunny day
We can play
Lazing by the deep blue sea
Happy now that we are free
This is how it ought to be
We are on our own
Go underwater and see another world of green
Fishes go by and I get to wondering where they’ve been
Sunny day
We can play
Lazing by the deep blue sea
Happy now that we are free
This is how it ought to be
We are on our own
Take out a boat and paddle it around the bay
Pressures from the world seem to fade away
Sunny day
We can play
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Happy now that we are free
This is how it ought to be
We are on our own

Double Crossing Time

It's a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time
It's a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time
When you think you got good buddies, they will spin around and cheat you blind
Double crossing man is mean, he will try to make it so you lose
Double crossing man, he will try to make it so you lose
You'll fill your mind with worry, you know he hurt me with the blues
