1. WHISKEY MAN

Hey whiskey man, youre running as hard as you can,
You drink your whiskey too much more than you can stand.
You have your highs, you have your lows,
Nobody knows which way you go.

Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
It takes whiskey to make you tall,
You aint so very damn tall at all.
You start to get straight , then you get weak,
Cant you see your on a loosing streak.
You have your highs, you have your lows,
Nobody knows which way youll go.

Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Hey dont you know,
I use to be there myself,
I tried to kick the habit, baby, with nobody elses help.
I have my highs, I have my lows,
But nobody knows which way Ill go.

Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, dont you play that hand too long.


2. IT'S ALL OVER NOW

Well, baby used to stay out all night long.
She made me cry, she done me wrong.
She hurt my eyes open, thats no lie.
Tables turning, now her turn to cry.

Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Well, she used to run around with evry man in town.
Spent all my money playing a high class game.
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried.
The tables turned and now, her turn to cry.

Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Well, I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed.
When I gotten worried, she could ease my aching head.
But now shes here and there with evry man in town.
Instead of trying to take me for that same old clown.

Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Because I used to love her but its all over now.
Because I used to love her but its all over now.


3. ONE MAN'S PLEASURE

Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,
bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.

One mans loss is another mans gain.
One mans pleasure is another mans pain.
I left my woman in jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and lord knows I had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldnt take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.

One mans loss is another mans gain.
One mans pleasure is another mans pain.
Now when I left this town it was for her and for me.
Now Im home all alone, with a paper that says Im free.
I guess Ill hit the road again, and do what I do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.

One mans loss is another mans gain.
One mans pleasure is another mans pain.

One mans loss is another mans gain.
One mans pleasure is another mans pain.
Now tell me people, whos to blame?


4. JUKIN'CITY

I think I was about seventeen when my pappy said to me,
Come on now with me, son,

To a pickin country band.

That you can surely stand.

Jukin city, jukin city,
Im going there with my old man.
Jukin city, jukin city,
Im going there with a friend.

Jukin city is a little place down around macon town,
Sawdust floors, cold draft beer and women all around.
We started with two fat mamas,
They promised us a real good time.
The there fellas came into the place,
We had to fight to stay alive.

Jukin city, jukin city,
Im going there with my old man.
Jukin city, jukin city,

5. BOOGIE NO MORE

Oh, people, baby, whats the matter with you?
Your feet, they aint leaving the ground.

Hearing this rocking sound?
Dont you just want to jump on up,
And kick your chairs out of the way?

Nobody seems to want to boogie no more.

6. FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER

Im travelin down the road,
Im flirtin with disaster.
Ive got the pedal to the floor,
My life is running faster.
Im out of money, Im out of hope,
It looks like self destruction.
Well how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.

Been flirtin with disaster,
Yall know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I dont know about yourself or,
What you want to be - yeah.
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Im travelin down that lonesome road.
Feel like Im dragging a heavy load.
Yeah! Ive tried to turn my head away,
Feels about the same most every day.
Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin from town to town.
The boys and I have been burnin it up,
Cant seem to slow it down.
Ive got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin faster,
Got our sights set straight ahead,
But aint sure what were after.

Flirtin with disaster,
Yall know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I dont know about yourself or,
What you plan to be - yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Yeah!! were travelin down that lonesome road.
Feel like Im dragging a heavy load.
Dont try to turn my head away,
Im flirtin with disaster every day.
Flirtin with disaster, baby,
Yall know what I mean.

It makes no sense to me.
I dont know about yourself or,

When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Yeah!! were travelin down that lonesome road.
Feel like Im dragging a heavy load.
Dont try to turn my head away,
Im flirtin with disaster every day.


7. GOOD ROCKIN'

Well, youve seen us before,
Youre going to see us again, yall,
Were back in town now, were playing to win.
Foot stompin brothers, thats what we are,
No fancy pants, aint no super star.
You say you came for the party, babe,
You came for the show.
The boys are feeling hot and Im a ready to go.
So if youre feeling good, if you feel alright,
Were going to have a rock n roll time tonight.

Cmon babe, lets rock n roll.

Guarantee you good good rockin tonight.

So cmon baby lets rock n roll,
Me and my boys we got total control.
So cmon people wont you free your soul.


8. GUNSMOKE

I rode into town with my ear to the ground,
Looking for the right band to play,
I felt just right in the heat of the night,
Ridden many miles that day.

Ive heard of a place where men go together,
Playin and layin it down,
Im going to win, but lord, what a sin,
I didnt know they gun me down.

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun.
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run.
Well, the dealer was blind, I was trying to find,
A way to keep the winnings Id found.
The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker,
I still thought theyd gun me down.

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun.
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run.
I didnt come into this ol two horse town,
To get all shot up. Ive got a little livin on my mind,
Aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha.

Now the dealer dealt me eight and I had my straight,
I knew the other men would call.
The booze was a flowin, the cards were showing,
But my back was up against the wall.

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun.
Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run.
Cmon thunder.


9. LONG TIME

All alone with a full moon to light my night.
Been six long months since I held you tight.
Its been a long time.
Baby, you are my only love,
Sent to me, from heaven above.
Oh, honey, times are bad.
Got so bad, one lonely night,
I needed you to hold me tight.
Honey, dont be so sad.

Ive got you on my mind,
You know Ive done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

We made a deal,
I remember the pact,
Now youre gone and I need you back.
Honey, dont be so mad.
Theres no other,
There never could be,
Youre my woman, my family.
Honey, baby, take me back.

Ive got you on my mind,
You know Ive done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

A feeling inside
I couldnt hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, wont you come back home?
Lonely days and damn the nights,
Has it been too long to make things right?
Been a long time,
Lord a long time.
Ive got you on my mind,
You know Ive done you wrong.
Oh, this pain in my soul.

The feeling inside,
I couldnt hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, wont you come back home?
Yeah, a long time.


10. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Well some people bitch, lord, some people holler,
About the long days on the road.
Each man can do just what he wants,
But weve all got ot pull our load.
As for myself, Im gonna take the highway,
It aint as bad as they say.
Give me wine, women, whiskey, and rock n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

Cmon baby, let the good times roll.
Cmon baby, let the good times roll.
Ive been all throughout the south land.
Keep moving on down the line.
I ought to settle down some place,
But I just cant find the time.
As for myself, gonna take this highway,
It aint as bad as they say.
Give me wine, whiskey, women, and rock n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

Cmon baby, let the good times roll.(x6)
