1. FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER

I'm travelin' down the road an' I'm flirtin' with disaster
I've got the pedal to the floor
An' my life is running faster
I'm outta money outta hope it looks like self destruction
Well how much more can we take with all of this corruption

[Chorus:]
We're flirtin' with disaster, ya'll know what I mean
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you wanna to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm draggin' a heavy load.
Yet I've tried to turn my head away,
Feel about the same most every day
You know what I'm talkin' about man

Speeding down the fast lane an' honey
We're playin' from town to town
The boys and I been burnin' it up can't seem to slow it down
I got the pedal to the floor our lives are runnin' faster,
We got our sight set straight ahead but
I ain't sure what we're after

We're flirtin' with disaster ya'll damn sure know what I mean
You know the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Though I try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.
An' you are too baby, Ha ha ha ha ha
You aim for everyone, Oh come on baby

[Chorus]

Yeah!! We're travelin' down this lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Though I try to turn my head away, Bop mm bop bop yeah
We're flirtin' with disaster every day.


2. DREAMS I'LL NEVER SEE

You're my last breath,
you're a breath of fresh air to me
I am empty
So tell me you care for me
You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

[Chorus:]
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you expect it as
A part of your destiny?
I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience is shot
So I'm calling your bluff

[Chorus] (x2)

And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
Time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop
And the atmosphere is charged
In you I trust
And I feel no fear as I
Do as I must

[Chorus] (x2)

Tempted by fate
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young
The time is now
Let's make this moment last

[Chorus]


3. LONG TALL SALLY

I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming
And he jumped back in the alley

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight

You know Uncle John
His age is 65
A daily dose of loving
Keeps that poor man alive

[Chorus:]
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun
Have some fun tonight

Well I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
Saw Aunt Mary coming
And he ducked into the alley
Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having some time tonight

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs

[Chorus]


4. THE CREEPER

Oh, listen to my story:

Life is getting stranger baby
As we travel on
People don't know the difference
No more between right and wrong
Say it's going to be a cold dark night
When the creeper comes along
Watch out for the steel blade, baby, all shiny and long

[Chorus:]
I say it's going to be a cold dark night
Oh, when the Creeper come along. Yea.

He's tall, he's short, he's fat, he's thin
He's out for vengence. He's out to win
The road he walks is dark and dim
Don't let him catch you out on a limb
He'll cut your throat, baby,
He'll stick you in the back
Drive off in your Cadillac
He's more trouble than you think
He'll kill you sugar, leave you in the drink

[Chorus]


5. LOSS OF CONTROL

Well, it happened up in Detroit
It was my kind of town
We heard the audience screaming
When they brought the house lights down
Blind anticipation was felt from afar
The kids were going crazy
When we cranked up our guitars

It was a loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filthy rock and roll.

Well, everywhere we go now
It happens night and day
All hell seems to break loose
When the boys stay to play
If you lack the courage
There's no room for you here
The boys have called it open season
On your eyes and ears

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.

We're right here in your city
We know it's our kind of town
We hear the audience screaming
So turn those house lights down
Blind anticipation we feel it from afar
There all going crazy
When we pick up our guitars
And we are

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filthy rock and roll

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.


6. SATISFIED MAN

Don't do no drugs
Ain't got the time
I keep it straight
But I don't mid
Cause I got love
That the only plan
I'm just a satisfied man.

Ain't no girl
Can turn my head
Cause I got better
Waitin' on the bed
She does it all
Everything will wait
Makes me a satisfied man.

Oohh I'm so satisfied
Yea I'm so satisfied
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man.

In the world
That's falling down
We'll be together
No one else around
Face to face
Right to the end
Though I'm a satisfied man.

Oohh I'm so satisfied
Yea I'm so satisfied
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man.

She keeps it comin'
Keeps it comin'
Keeps me goin'
Every night or every day
She keeps it goin'
Keeps it goin'
Every night for every way

In the world
That's falling down
We'll be together
No one else around
Face to face
Right to the end
Though I'm a satisfied man.

Oh baby, make no mistake about it
I'm a satisfied man
Baby, everything you say
Everything you do
Satisfied man
Everything you do is sooo right
Satisfied man.

Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man

Oohh yea I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man

Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man

Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
I'm a satisfied man.


7. STONE IN YOUR HEART

Is this how it ends?
Wer'e strangers again
It's over but you won't explain
No kiss no goobye,not one final lie
Just cold to the bone from the ice's that's runnin' through your veins
You have stone in your heart.

[Chorus:]
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na stone in your heart
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
What is keepin' us apart?
Stone in your stone heart.

Don't you recall the fire and all
I want you in my arms every night
But now you forget
No passion,no sweat
You poured out your love
And your'e tellin' me your well is dry
You have stone in your heart.

[Chorus]

Run away and hide
Keep it inside
Make believe it never happened
All your'e goona do is keep fooling you
Some day you'll find love's been passin' you by.

Will you or fight?
Let's do it right
I'm gonna get it over now
But no feelin' left
No pride to protect
You don't want my love
I don't need you in a wedding gown
You have stone in your heart


8. SWEET DIXIE

Oh take me home, baby

Man that Dixie music makes
Move your feet around
Another blast of that southern mass
In the good ole' country sound
Ain't nothing like that feel
when the band starts to play
You have something about that music down in Dixie U.S.A.

[Chorus:]
Just give me those stars and bars
playing on the radio
A good cold beer and a rebel cheer, man I'm ready to go
That sweet sweet Dixie music really gets into your soul
So Mr. DJ won't you play that southern rock and roll.

You take me out of the country, not the country out of me
New Your City's neon lights just ain't my cup of tea
I take that Orange Blossom Special
A song I know well
A red neck down in Georgia
I love those southern bells.

[Chorus]

Awww here's a little bit

Ohhh, man that Dixie music makes
Move your feet around
Ain't nothing like that feelin'
When the band is playin' it down
It's a great big world around me
This is where I stay
Something about that livin' down in Dixie U.S.A.

[Chorus]

I'll take that sweet sweet Dixie music
Gets into my soul
So Mr. DJ won't you play some southern rock and roll


9. WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

Ohh yea, yes sir

Comin' on strong
Comin' on hard
But what the hell is the matter
Take it to the limit
Baby take it 'till your in it
You take my love and you scatter

Cause there is a low
It just doesn't matter
Oh no, it really doesn't matter
Cause there's a low
Baby what ya tryin' to do.

You know win or lose, love is a game
Now I don't think I will be the same
As sweet as it seemed
It was only a dream
You're the meanest damn woman I've ever seen.
I said,"Oh no, how will I never be the same
Oh no no no, Now that you've worked your game.
Cause, Lord, baby what ya trying to do
It's gonna catch up to you."

Now hold it a second
Hey momma, I'm a talkin' to you
Your time gonna come real soon
No baby, baby, you can't treat me like no fool
No momma, I'm not puttin' up with that


10. GOOD SMOKE AND WHISKEY

Once we had each other
We had security
Anthing she wanted
But she wanted to be free
Thought I had everything in hand
Instead she's taken everything from me.

[Chorus:]
Good smoke and whiskey is all that's left in my life
Good smoke and whiskey
Good smoke and whiskey is all that's left in my life
Good smoke and whiskey

I said I loved her
She just laughted in my face
I thought I had her
But she put me in my place
She got the car and the color t.v
Now she's drivin' me to bankruptcy.

[Chorus]

A million used to be that
I'm gonna be movin' movin' movin'movin'movin' tonight
Nothing left to do
Drink myself a million miles away from you.

Ooh yes sir
Good smoke and whiskey
Runnin' around my brain
Good smoke and whiskey
Killin' all that woman pain
With a smile and a twist of the knife
She took my heart and a part of my life

[Chorus]

Good smoke and whiskey
Good smoke and whiskey
Good smoke and whiskey
Good smoke and whiskey
Good smoke and whiskey
Oh yea
