1. LAST OF A DYING BREED

Oh, yeah
Got a pocket full of memories and a song
Gotta keep on moving an rolling on

When I'm playing for keeps
I always win
Don't know where I'm going,
But I know where I've been yeah

Looking back when I was a boy
Hand me down bike was my toy
A barefoot brother who gave me hell
And learned from the best who taught me well

I hear that highway calling
Oooh, feel the breeze
I've been around but then again is all I breathe
Saddle up baby, ride up close to me
An open highway is all I'll ever need
Last of a dying breed
Last of a dying breed

A one horse town is a one night stand
It's just like my daddy, I'm a traveling man
I'm not the kind to settle down
The roar of the engine I love that sound

I hear that highway calling
Oooh, feel the breeze
I've been around but then again is all I breathe
Yes saddle up baby, ride up close to me
An open highway is all I'll ever need
Last of a dying breed
Last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed
Yeah
Oh, feel the breeze
I've been around but then again is all I breathe
Saddle up baby, ride uṗ close to me
An open highway is all I'll ever need
Yeah, a wide open highway is all I need
Last of a dying breed
Last of a dying breed
Oh yeah
Last of a dying breed
Last of a dying breed


2. ONE DAY AT A TIME

Angels sing and buzzards fly
Kingdoms fall and rivers rise
It's all the same since a sin is a lie
Some are free but we're all doin' time
One day at a time
Smell the roses - taste the wine
One day at a time
No stop signs or red lights
That wheel keeps turning
On and on - day and night
No one survives
Ain't no use in cryin'
What ain't dead is surely dyin'
One day at a time
Money burns and good gold shines
Dreamers dream and finder's find
Work keeps spinning round and round
Save our souls before it all comes down
One day at a time

Smell the roses - taste the wine
One day at a time
No stop signs or red lights
That wheel keeps turning
On and on - day and night
No one survives
Ain't no use in cryin'
What ain't dead is surely dyin'
One day at a time
One day at a time
Smell the roses - taste the wine
One day at a time
No stop signs or red lights
That wheel keeps turning
On and on - day and night
No one survives
Ain't no use in cryin'
What ain't dead is surely dyin'
One day at a time

4. READY TO FLY

Mama called this morning, said
'Son won't you come back home?
I've been feelin' good but
I know it won't be long.'
Don't keep me waiting
I wanna touch your face again.
Ohh, what a good life it's been.

Now I'm ready to fly
I wanna see your daddy again.
I'm ready to fly
All my family and friends.
I know they're out there waiting
In a place beyond the sky.
Ohh, I'm ready to fly.
Hard times it's '69
The war was reachin' on.
That's the reason my daddy left
And never made it back home
It was tough for all of us
But mama smiled everyday
Ohh, it's so hard to hear her say.

Now I'm ready to fly
I wanna see your daddy again.
I'm ready to fly
All my family and friends.
I know they're out there waiting
In a place beyond the sky.
So, I'm ready to fly.

She made sure she'd never see her cry
But those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide

I'm ready to fly
I wanna see your daddy again.
I'm ready to fly
All my family and friends.
I know they're out they're waiting
In a place beyond the sky


5. MISSISSIPPI BLOOD

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

Oooh Oooh
She's a dirty little thing - crazy as hell
Oooh Oooh
She's my rock-n'-roll queen - sweet southern bell
Oooh Oooh
She's a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette
Oooh Oooh

Like an old blues song stuck in my head
Mississippi mud and I'm sinking in
Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh
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

Oooh Oooh
She's my rock-n'-roll queen - sweet southern bell
Oooh Oooh
She's a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette

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...

Oooh Oooh
She's a dirty little thing - crazy as hell
Oooh Oooh
She's my rock-n'-roll queen - sweet southern bell
Oooh Oooh
She's a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette

Mississippi mud and I'm sinking in


6. GOOD TEACHER

Strong as an Oak tree

And how to tell a dirty joke
I had a good teacher
Half devil, half preacher
He made me a believer
I had a good teacher, teacher
Oh Yeah!
She was 6 foot 1
Shakin' that money thing

Man you should've seen her
She made me a believer
Oh Lord I had a good teacher, teacher
Oh Yeah!
Got some good teachers

7. SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR

What the hell have we done
To get this far down?
Yeah take a look at us now
And what we've become
Seems like we're taking care of everybody else
But we forgot our own
A soldier, a beggin' man
Yeah another homeless child

Give us somethin' to live for
Somethin' we can hold on to
Somethin' to believe in
Like the love between me and you

Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now - oh, what a sin
I'll keep my faith - no I'll never change
Give us somethin' to live for
Give us somethin' to live for

All of us took a left
When we should've gone right
Oh what happened to us brothers and sisters?
Now all we do is fight
Yeah face to face
And eye to eye
How do we mend this smokin' heart?

Give us somethin' to live for
Somethin' we can hold on to
Somethin' to believe in
Like the love between me and you
Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now - oh, what a sin
I'll keep my faith - no I'll never change
Give us somethin' to live for
Give us somethin' to live for

We all need somethin' to believe in
Goin' down a dead end road
Like a freight train on the tracks
Lord - carryin' a heavy load

Oh and it's about to break us in half
Give us somethin' to live for
Somethin' we can hold on to
Somethin' to believe in
Like the love between me and you
Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now - oh, what a sin
I'll keep my faith - no I'll never change
Give us somethin' to live for
Somethin' to live for
Gimme somethin' to live for


8. LIFE'S TWISTED

Just when you think you've got it figured out
It comes along and hits you in the mouth
You think your day can't get no worse Your Heaven falls And hits you where it hurts
You wake up smilin' on a sunny day
The clouds pour in and then it's pourin' rain
If you blink you'll miss it...

'Cause life's twisted
Like a black snake on a highway
Like a flat tire on a Friday
If you let it man - it's gonna kick your ass
Life's twisted like a back road in the country
Like a switch blade in an alley
Let me tell you boy - you better watch your back
Life's twisted like thatYeah Life's Twisted!
You build your dreams with your own two hands
You find out life has other plansYou think you finally Found the one way out
You're drivin' North but you're flyin' South
Sometime's you've gotta risk it

'Cause life's twisted
Like a black snake on a highway
Like a flat tire on a Friday
If you let it man - it's gonna kick your ass
Life's twisted like a back road in the country
Like a switch blade in an alley
Let me tell you boy - you better watch your back

'Cause life's twisted like that
Sometimes you've bend until you break
Yeah
But you can shake it off to fight another day
You only get one time around
Don't let it slip away!Life's Twisted!
Like a black snake on a highway
Like a flat tire on a Friday
If you let it man - it's gonna kick your ass
Life's twisted like a back road in the country
Like a switch blade in an alley
Let me tell you boy - you better watch your back
'Cause life's twisted like that
Like a black snake on a highway
Like a flat tire on a Friday
If you let it man - it's gonna kick your ass
Life's twisted like a back road in the country
Like a switch blade in an alley
Let me tell you boy - you better watch your back

'Cause life's twisted like that
Yeah

9. 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


10. HONEY HOLE

There's a little place down in Jackson County
Right off the river road
If you wanna take a ride to the end of the rainbow
Find yourself a pot of gold
Everybody asks me where I'm goin'
Yeah everybody wants to know
Your sister says she wants to come along with me
I know she really wants to go
Yeah I know she really wants to go
Down, Down, Down, Down
Down is where I wanna go
Down, Down, Down, Down
Down to the Honey Hole
If you wanna check it out on a hot summer night
Climb over the garden wall
Grab your little baby and hold her tight
Underneath the sugar falls
Underneath the sugar falls

Down, Down, Down, Down
Down is where I wanna go
Down, Down, Down, Down
To the Honey Hole
To the Honey Hole!
Sugarcane grows wild in the fields
Like corn sticky yellow sweet
Late at night you can hear 'em all buzzin'
Searchin' for the Queen bee
Callin' for the Queen bee
Down, Down, Down, Down
Down is where I wanna go
Down, Down, Down, Down
To the Honey Hole
To the Honey Hole!
To the Honey Hole
To the Honey Hole
To the Honey Hole


11. START LIVIN' LIFE AGAIN

Money can't buy you happiness
And that drinkin' can cause you pain
Yeah that stuff you put up your nose
It can drive you insane
Why do you do these things?
You're killing yourself each day
So you better get down on your knees
And ask the good Lord to take it away
Let the rain stop fallin'
Let the sun shine again
Let your heart stop cryin'
Let the good Lord be with you my friend
And Start Livin' Life Again

Time with your family is precious
Take a good look at yourself
You've been burning the candle at both ends
Don't you think it's time to got help?
Let your spirit fly and you won't need to get high anymore
Ask him into your life...
'Cause he can open up ANY door!
Let the rain stop fallin'
Let the sun shine again


BONUSTRACKS

12. POOR MAN'S DREAM

There ain't no poor man
Born with a silver spoon
And there ain't no wise man
Who learned it all in school
A politician's promise
Can make you feel like a fool
But when they get the power
They're the first to break the golden rule
We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule
Climb that mountain
Reach the sky
Hangin' on for a good laugh
For a piece of that American pie
Hey nothin's easy
Nothin's for free
In the world of dog eat dog
Oh people, that's a poor man's dream
Hey Mr. walton
Lend me a dime
You know I'll repay ya
But it's gonna take me some time
I'm standing at the crossroads
Just about to roll the dice
I got a dream in my heart

Whatever it takes
I know I gotta pay the price
We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule
Climb that mountain
Reach the sky
Hangin' on for a good laugh
For a piece of that American pie
Hey nothin's easy
Nothin's for free
In the world of dog eat dog
Oh people, that's a poor man's dream
We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule
Climb that mountain
Reach the sky
Hangin' on for a good laugh
For a piece of that American pie
Hey nothin's easy
Nothin's for free
In the world of dog eat dog
Oh people, that's a poor man's dream
Hey nothin's easy
Nothin's for free
In the world of dog eat dog
Oh people, that's a poor man's dream
Oh... It's a poor man's dream


13. DO IT UP RIGHT

Yeah, she's sittin' at the table, lookin' down at her drink
She's always on time, I'm always runnin' late
I was on my way, but I got sidetracked

Yeah, Gary called me up, said Rickey's in a jam
Come on over brother, she'll understand
Meet me at the chug, we got some plannin' to do

I been bad, I been good
Don't always do the things that I should
When I go, I go all night
But when I do it wrong, woo!
I do it up right

I looked at my watch, it was a quarter of three
I knew she'd be up there waitin' on me
I, got some explanin' to do

I been bad, I been good
Don't always do the things that I should
When I go, I go all night
But when I do it wrong, woo!
I do it up right

So I headed straight home, I ain't gonna lie
Ain't got no excuses, no alibis
I said I was sorry, she said I've heard it before
So come on over here boy

I been bad, I been good
Don't always do the things that I should
When I go, I go all night
But when I do it wrong, woo!

I been bad, I been good
Don't always do the things that I should
When I go, I go all night
But when I do it wrong, woo!
I do it up right

Baby I do it up right
Oh, I'm gonna do it up right
Whoa yeah
Whoa, I do it up right
Me and the boys do it up right
Ooohh


14. SAD SONG

And we could fight this all night long
There is no right - there is no wrong
Love ain't easy - sometimes it is so blind
The things we said were not so kind

What you see is what you get
I ain't that old - I'm not dead yet
All those words we said
Are in my head
Now all I got left
Is this Sad Song

Something old and something new
Something borrowed but now I'm blue
I stood against the world with you
But now I know baby our love is through

What you see is what you get
I ain't that old - I'm not dead yet
All those words we said
Are in my head
Now all I got left
Is this Sad Song!

After all this time gone by
Now I sit here and wonder why
Yeah - I'm still here and baby you are gone
All I got left...
Is this Sad Song

Sad sad song

Oh!

What you see is what you get
I ain't that old - Girl I'm not dead yet!
All those words we said
Are in my head
Now all I got left
Is this Sad Song


15. 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!
