Be Careful With A Fool

Man, be careful with a fool
You know, someday he may get smart
Man, be careful with a fool
You know, someday he may get smart
He will treat you so cool and chilly
Till he hurt you to your heart
Yeah, you know hate to remember
Oh, what a fool I used to be
Man, I hate to remember
How foolish I used to be
The way I used to love you, baby
How bad it's gonna be
You know, I used to cry 'bout you, baby!
You know, I'd-a walk the streets a-late at night
Used to cry about ya
A-walk the streets, a-late at night
If you love me just a little bit, baby,
Why in the world don't you treat me right?
Uh, fin'lly over, baby
Whoa, I believe this is the end, ah, ah, yeah, well!
Fin'lly over, baby
Oh, I believe this-a is the end, ah
I want to tell you my baby
To forgive me for my sin

Blues This Bad

I woke up this morning,
with something that I've never had
I woke up this morning,
with something that I've never had
I've had the blues before
but I've never had the blues,
I've never had the blues this bad

Everyone that I talk to,
everybody feelin' down and out
Everyone that I talk to,
everybody feelin' down and out
Everybody's got an answer
but nobody really knows,
nobody really knows
what it's all about

There ain't no drugs can help me,
my baby she can't ease my mind
There ain't no drugs can help me,
my baby she can't ease my mind
I don't even know what hit me
but I just have to keep on,
I just have to keep on,
keep on tryin'

Tables don't stop turnin',
who knows what we're headed for
Tables don't stop turnin',
who knows what we're headed for
Nothin' I say or do,
ain't gonna mean a thing,
ain't gonna mean a thing
and that's for sure

Cheap Tequila

Cheap perfume, sweet perfume
The lonely smell that fills the room
Roses in your low-rent tomb
A picture made of cheap perfume

Sad old rag, sad young hag
Clothes that hide the early sag
Sequins on a lame bag
The sparkles of a sad old rag

Drink up and be happy
Live just for today
Drown in cheap tequila
And flush yourself away

Worn out dreams, washed up scheme
Blueprint for a death machine
Scarred wrists on a movie queen
A picture of a worn out dream

Drink up and be happy
Live just for today
Drown in cheap tequila
And flush yourself away

Drink up and be happy
Live just for today
Drown in cheap tequila
And flush yourself away

Flush yourself away
Yeah, flush yourself away

Drinkin Blues

So many people talkin' 'bout how much they can drink
Well, I know there's people talkin' 'bout how much they can drink
Well, all I have for breakfast is two spokes in one airplane (yeah, nice too)

I'm waitin' at the stairs, and I'm sure to stone the light
Waitin' for the stair, I'm sure to stone the light
I'm too smashed to go on livin', but I wait in vain to die

(Yeah I'm too frail to brag about it)

(Come on, James!)
(You found the note!)
(Go ahead now!)
(Yes, yes...)

I'm too lazy to go out travellin', too mean to stay at home
And when I'm out and drinkin', best leave me alone
Lazy to travel, I'm too mean to stay at home
Well when I'm down drinkin', papa you'd best leave me alone

(Play a little rock, y'all!)

(Come on now, man!)

(Yes, yes...)

Sorry, sorry, baby, 'cause I know that it's a sin
So, so sorry, I believe that it's a sin
I been out last night baby, tonight I'm gonna have a beer...

Yeah, I'm gonna have one more...

Close To Me

Well she's a hard workin' mama
The girl's a blast
Workin' two jobs a week
And goin' to actin' class
She's got the magic
And she's found the groove
Sure found the way, baby
To make me move

Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she'll surely see
She'll finally see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)

She drove an eighteen wheeler
Like she's made out of steel
But she laid down and cried
When love got too real
So I slow down the message
And I speed up the pace
Said I love you, darlin'
Face to face

Maybe someday, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Someday she'll surely see
She'll surely see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me, (close to me)

Yeah! Someday you'll finally see

(Close to me, close to me)
(Close to me, close to me)

Oh she's a hard workin' mama
You know the girl's a blast
She works two jobs a week
And goin' to actin' class
She's found the magic
And she's got the groove
Sure found the way, darlin'
To make me move

Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she'll surely see
Someday she'll finally see
She'll finally see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)

Fast Life Rider

Don't believe a word you said
I can't stand the way you do
Lordy, Lord I'll wait
Comin' home to you
Lord at first I'd rather
Sit and listen to you
Going down
Stayed out last night
And the night before
I done changed the lock
Woman on my door
Well Lord at first I'd rather
Sit, listen to you
Well, it's lies that's all
Yeah
Done bought me a ticket
The trunk's already gone
Lord don't bother
Ain't gonna be here long
Lord first I'd rather
This be the last of you-all
Goin' down
Ohhh, ohhh

Hard Way

Well I've really had to suffer,
I've had a hard, hard way to go
I've really had to suffer,
I've had a hard, hard way to go
I've been down and out
When the ground was covered with snow

I used to get so worried
I could cry the whole night through
You'll know I'd get so worried
I would cry the whole night through
Think I've had my troubles
And the hardships I've been through

Someday I may get lucky
And find me a place to go
You know someday I may get lucky
And find me a place to go
I've tried and tried
But it's been a hard, hard way to go

Well I've really had to suffer,
I've had a hard, hard way to go
I've really had to suffer,
I've had a hard, hard way to go
I've been down and out
When the ground was covered with snow

Yes I have.

Eternally

Well how many tears have I cried since you left me behind?
And how many years have I tried to make you mine?
I would cry a million tears, I would try a million years
If that would bring you closer to me
I'd wait eternally
I'd wait eternally

Well how many guys have you dated while I sat and cried?
Well how many hours have I waited even though you lied?
You could date a million guys, you could tell a million lies
If that would bring you closer to me
I'd wait eternally
I'd wait eternally

So I guess I'll keep waiting for you patiently
Then maybe you'll see how true I am and give your love to me

Baby baby baby, how many dimes have I spent to call you on the phone?
And how many times have they told me you weren't home?
I would spend a million dimes, I would call a million times
If that would bring you closer to me
I'd wait eternally
I'd wait eternally

So I guess I'll keep waiting for you patiently
Then maybe you'll see how true I am and give your love to me

Baby baby baby, how many dimes have I spent to call you on the phone?
And how many times have they told me you weren't home?
I would spend a million dimes, I would call a million times
If that would bring you closer to me
I'd wait eternally
I'd wait eternally baby

For you to give your love to me
Baby baby baby
I want you to give your love to me

Hello My Lover

Hello my lover wherever you are

Illustrated Man

He's the illustrated man, baby
He's got tattoos everywhere
People love his decorations
They just have to stop & stare

Got the Mona Lisa on his cheek
the Van Gogh on his nose
Got naked women all over him
From his head down to his toes

Got a screamin' demon on his chest
Cat face on his thigh
He's a walkin' wonder box
Until the day he dies

Tribute To Muddy

Woah Lord I wish
Lord I wonder what happens
Answer's the nickel
A deep blue sea
I tore all 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
Someday 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
