1. WHAT'S YOUR NAME

Well, its 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right.

[Chorus:]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?.

Back at the hotel
Lord we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
What a shame

Won't you come upstairs girl
And have a drink of champagne
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
For there ain't no shame.

[Chorus] (x2)

9 o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home
It sure was grand

When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Well there ain't no shame
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?


2. THAT SMELL

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you

[Chorus:]
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you

[Chorus]

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you

[Chorus]

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks

[Chorus] (x2)


3. ONE MORE TIME

How can you stand there smilin'
After all you've done
You know it seems to make you happy
When you've hurt someone
Twice before you fooled me
With your deceivin' and lyin'
Come in and close the door

One more time, one more time
Yeah you've been gone so long
No one knows where
And you say that you still love me
Then show me you care
'Cause you got what it takes sweet mama
To make a man feel fine
So I'll take the word of a liar

One more time, one more time
Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know I'm playin' with fire
Get burned everytime
Yes I'm a fool for you baby I can't deny
But I got to have your sweet love

One more time, one more time
Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know I'm playin' with fire
I get burned everytime
Yes I'm a fool for you mama I can't deny
But I got to have your sweet love

One more time, one more time
Yes I'm her fool once more
I can read her brown eyes
But when the rooster crows tomorrow
Well its her turn to cry
I'm headed down that old road

She lost her free ride
So tonight I'll take what I paid for
One more time, one more time
One more time


4. I KNOW A LITTLE

Yes sir
Well the bigger the city, well the brighter the lights
The bigger the dog, well the harder the bite
I don't know where you been last night
But I think mama, you ain't doin' right

[Chorus:]
Say I know a little
I know a little about it
I know a little
I know a little 'bout it
I know a little 'bout love

And baby I can guess the rest
Well now I don't read that daily news
'Cause it ain't hard to figure
Where people get the blues
They can't dig what they can't use
If they stick to themselves
They'd be much less abused

[Chorus]

Play me a little, oh yeah
Yeah
Well if you want me to be your only man
Said listen up mama, teach you all I can
Do right baby, by your man
Don't worry mama, teach you all I can

[Chorus]

Well I know a little 'bout love
Baby I want your best


5. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT

Well I've heard lots of people say
They're gonna settle down
You don't see their faces
And they don't come around
Well I'm not that way
I got to move along

I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
You got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right

Seems so long I been out on my own
Travel light and I'm always alone
Guess I was born with a travellin' bone
When my times up, I'll hold my own

You won't find me in an old folks home
You got that right
Well you got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right

I tried everything in my life
Things I like I try 'em twice
You got that right
Sure got that right
Travellin' around the world, just singing my song
I got to go, Lord I can't stay long
Here comes that ol' travellin' jones once again

I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
You got that right
Said, you got that right
Well you got that right
Sure got that right


6. I NEVER DREAMED

My daddy told me always be strong son
Don't you ever cry
You find the pretty girls and then you love them
Then you say goodbye
I never dreamed that you would leave me
But now you're gone

I never dreamed that I would miss you
Woman won't you come back home
I never dreamed that you could hurt me
And leave me blue
I've had a thousand, maybe more
But never one like you

I never dreamed I could feel so empty
But now I'm down
I never dreamed that I would beg you
Woman I need you now
It seems to me I took your love for granted
It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh Lord now I feel so lonely
I say woman won't you come back home
I tried to do what my daddy taught me
But I think he knew
Someday that I would find one woman like you

I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord
That two could be one
I never knew about sweet love
So woman won't you come back home
Oh baby won't you come back home


7. HONKKY TONK NIGHT TIME MAN

Little bit of Bakersfield
I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the day time
Do my runnin' around at night
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today

Well I wish a tornado
Come and blow my blues away, away
That's what I said, take 'em away
Sounds like Roy
Yeah
And then my heart starts beatin'

When that sun starts sinkin' low
Well my heart starts beatin'
When that sun starts sinkin' low
When the shadows fall

I know its time for me to go
Billy Powell on piano
Oh Barry, play me some Dobro

I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the day time
I do my runnin' around, round at night
I get my rest in the day time
Gets that old love sweet stuff at night


8. AIN'T NO GOOD LIFE

Ain't no good life
Not the one that I lead
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve

Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I don't pray

Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
Just 'cause I'm alive
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'
I'm gonna get myself together
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by
Yeah I tell ya

I don't even know where last month went
Well I can't make no money baby
Well 'cause my money's already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent

Well I don't mean change, baby
I mean foldin' money
Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy
I don't need nobody, now

Ain't exactly my idea
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin' to say
Don't try that straight life buddy

Oh you'll find it kind of hard on you
Women, don't try to cook nothin' up, ooh
Brother you know you'll only wind up in your own stew
Just don't let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do


9. GEORGIA PEACHES

Well, you can see her walkin' down on Peachtree Street
She got high-heeled shoes and a dot on her cheek
She's lookin' good, she's headed downtown
Ain't got no money, honey
She knows her way around
I think she's cute, think she's cute as she can be

Talkin' about a funny talkin', honk-tonking Georgia Peach
Well these Georgia Peaches
Son they know their way around
They can take your money, son before you get sight of town
Well they talk a little funny, but they look so fine
Nine out of ten of them gonna sell you a dime
I think they're cute, think they're cute as they can be

Talkin' about a funny talkin', honk-tonking Georgia Peach
Well, peaches, peaches
Love them Georgia Peaches
Well, peaches, peaches
Love them Georgia Peaches
Well them Georgia Peaches
Sure do got the style

They'll steal your heart with a Southern smile
Well they talk a little funny, but they look so fine
The older they get, I swear its like good wine

I think they're cute, think they're cute as they can be
Talkin' about a funny talkin', honk-tonking Georgia Peach
Talkin' about a funny talkin', honk-tonking Georgia Peach
I just seem to fall in love with the wrong things


10. SWEET LITTLE MISSY

Why are you praying, my sweet morning dove
You're so afraid, but so hungry for love
Well I can give you love baby
Hugs and kisses,
I can give you everything that you been missing

Just don't be afraid, oh
Sweet little missy
She's twenty years old and a full grown woman
Sure enough
I'm the one that wants her
Are you ready for love
Well I'm the one that wants you forever and a day
Come on baby, what'd you say

Just don't be afraid, oh
Sweet little missy
Sweet little missy
She's saving her love
But givin' us hope like the Lord up above
This ain't the worst thing she'll ever do
'Cause like a dollar bill you can't take it with you
Well I'm the one that wants you forever and a day
Come on baby, what'd you say

Just don't be afraid, oh
Sweet little missy
She's so damn pretty, I can't take it no more
You and me babe, giving my soul for sure
Well I can give you love baby
Hugs and kisses, I can give you everything that you been missing

Just don't be afraid, oh
Sweet little missy
Sweet little missy
She's saving her love
But givin' us hope like the Lord up above

13. JACKSONVILLE KID (A.K.A. HONKY TONK NIGHT TIME MAN)

This old town ain't been the same,
Since this old boys been gone.
Lord I still got some good friends,
But I feel so all alone.
All I hear is disco,
See pretty boys with high heels on.

Well some people sure hate me,
An the police dog me round.
Well the only place I'm welcome,
Is on the west side of town
Lord I'm on there wanted posters,
I cant show my face in town.

Play this one for south side...

Jacksonville I love you,
But you don't want me around.
Jacksonville you raised me,
An this is where I got my sound.
Although I'm your outlaw,
I still love my hometown,all around.

Ahh this is for the west side boys..

This old town ain't been the same,
Since your native sons been gone.
Lord I still got some old friends,
But I am so all alone.
All I hear is the disco,
See pretty boys with high heels on.
Well you can keep your disco,
Pretty boys with high heels on.
