1. MISSISSIPPI MOON DOG

Crawlin' through the swamps and you here me moan
Stalkin' after midnight I'm all alone
Three ways to Sunday that's how it be
Never take a walk alone comin' after me
Oh..Oh..Walk it like you talk it
Oh..Oh.. Watch it where you been stalkin' around..no

Mama got the voodoo little bones
Daddy got a mojo nobody knows
Can't get started till the night
The stars come out and moon is getting bright
Oh..Oh.. watch out what your sippin'
Oh.. Oh.. Daddy knows you been messing around

Kept him working - work it hard boy

Mississippi moon dog shakin' after midnight
Gonna sweat the devil out of you
Mississippi moon dog voodoo all around now
A rattlesnake a rabbits foot too

All night long your testifying
The truth that your signifying
You ain't slept in half a week
There's no more disciples to listen to you speak Oh..Oh.. what the hell you sayin' ?
Oh..Oh.. who you think you portraying now?

Mississippi moon dog sneaking out of Memphis
The rivers in view
Mississippi moon dog reaching through the darkness
Sun never shines through
Mississippi moon dog listen to em howling
Muddy waters singing out the blues
Mississippi moon dog chicken come a scratching at ya
The swamps pointing at you

Mississippi moon dog shakin' all around now
Jackson's in view
Mississippi moon dog seven comes eleven now
Snake eyes won't do
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog


2. WORLD OF TROUBLE

Well the world were livin' in has gone completely insane
Riding to the wall from all across the land
The wars been over twenty years but they still come who can
Read the names of the land of the free
Think of the brothers who went down for you and me.

I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in 20 years
Talked about the good old days and cried some tears
You've never seen the things he's trying to forget
Saw hell for 18 months you ain't sen nothing yet

Rolling thunder writings on the wall
six feet under brothers heard the call
Rolling thunder writings on the wall
Death with honor dreams will never fall

This wall is for Americans who fought in Vietnam
Who fought and died for rich old men who never held a gun
Read the names of the boys who went down for me and you
Just keep it in your mind
You're name could be there too. yet.


3. SILENT REIGN OF HEROES

Making my way across Dixie , eighteen sixty-five
I walked all the and halfway to heaven,
Now believe I'm on the other side
Day turns into nightime, nightime's by my side
I look to he sky, I see shining light,
The stars will be my guide

The smell of gun smoke in the air
Lighting fills the sky
I heard a rebel yell just as loud as hell
You can hear it 'round the world tonight
The silent reign of heroes;
Is what brings me here today;
What I came to fight for, seems so far away
So far away
Far away

Tell me what's the cost of freedom
Fighting for my life and family name

The devil's laughing long and hard deep in hell tonight
My feet are bleeding right through my shoes
Ground's as cold as ice
Sing no killer angels
Can you hear my cry ?
It seems like a sin when nobody wins and so many had to die

Who is right, and tell me who is wrong
Old boys come down from here to Virginia
To sing the battle song
The silent reign of heroes is what gives me strength today
Tell me what's the cost of freedom
It's so far away, far away

Fighting for our heritage yeah
It's so far away, far away
When I see my home and family
Then I know I finally paid a debt.


4. MISS SATURDAY NIGHT

A red hot fancy dancer
Came shakin' on up to me
She said honey baby do you have some time
For present company
I said hey there long tall sally
You still sneakin' it through the valley
Or do you want to go up town with me

[Chorus:]
Lookin' so fine here comes Miss Saturday Night
Lil Queenie's out she's ready to fight
She's wearing out her dancing shoes
Tonight she's gonna rock away all her blues
Lookin' so fine here comes Miss Saturday Night

She found herself a rich man
To make her dollars all come true
She's gonna dress it up and do it in style
When she's dancing the hoochie coco
On Tuesday night she's raising hell
Everyday's a holiday
She's gonna bump and grind, shake her behind
Baby's got to have her way

But she's lookin' lick hell on Saturday morning
Tonight she's lookin' so fine

Well looky, looky, looky
Here she comes

But she's lookin' lick hell on Saturday morning
I said she's lookin'

But she's lookin' lick hell on Saturday morning
I said she's lokin' like hell


5. BLUE THUNDER

You know they come around town the midnight rambler
The night shift gotta go
O'Malley turned and baby got burned
Went the way of the buffalo
To protect and serve their tryin' to keep the peace
The rattler'll tell ya that there ain't no mercy
On the corner of 42nd street

Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street
Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need

Up to no good in the neighborhood
A broken chain of command
O'Hara snapped and got his head bad
With cold beer and a percodan
Shotgun blast mini mac justice
When will the madness end
East side, West side all fired up
No rest for the policeman

The streets are insane
On a night full of danger
Honey don't you get caught
In a city by a stranger
It's a contact sport in the game of life
Hear a shot out your window tonight
You're ready for the hell to end, you're callin'

Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street
Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need

An officers killed he was on the run
A ten year old shot him just for fun
He had two kids and a beautiful wife
One split second blinded by the light
Take a chance on the midnight dance, talk about livin' hell
There's one or twenty losers trapped in the Tropicana Motel

The streets are insane
On a night full of danger
Honey don't you get caught
In a city by a stranger
It's a contact sport in the game of life
Hear a shot out your window tonight
You're ready for the hell to end, you're callin'

Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street
Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need
Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street...callin'
Blue Thunder... The only number that ya need


6. JUST REMEMBER (YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE)

Thinkin' back, thinkin' way back when
There was only you and me
And time went by so easily
We learned from above and tried to call it love
All the trouble and the good and bad
We were all we ever had
Just remember, just remember... you're the only one

I had a dream one night
I made it to the limelight
Forgot where I came from
Lost sight of all my loved ones
I wasn't long until the fortune was gone
I thought it was the end
And I was hoping for a friend

Everything was gone in a blink of an eye
Without your love life ain't worth a dime... no
When you're sitting there all you've got is time
To remember, just remember... you're the only one

Now it's time that I must say to you
That you're always with me and I'll be true
It's been so long since this very day
That your love felt so strong
It could carry us away
Do you feel it, I remember, cause I can feel it
Do you remember... you're the only one...
You're the only one


7. JUNK YARD DAWG

I heard a voicebox chatter in the neighborhood
They say Slim Jack Willie's gonna get you good
He's round the corner I gotta warn ya
Lock up your window tight
You're in for trouble straight on the double
Lickity-split babe out go the lights
If you keep on messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
Don't jump the fence boy you got no sense
Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg

He's low - down dirty and he's awful mean
Don't get yourself caught somewhere in between
Watch where you're walkin', watch who you're talkin' too
You can run, you can hide but he's gonna get to you
You better watch your step

You keep a messin' gonna learn your lesson
If you keep on messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
Don't jump the fence boy you got no sense
Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg

He can see right where you are, and he'll find you
Doesn't matter near or far
Said he's coming behind you... and whatcha gonna do

You keep a messin' gonna learn your lesson
If you keep messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
Don't jump the fence boy you got no sense
Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
You keep a messin' gonna learn your lesson
If you keep messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
Don't jump fence boy you got no sense
Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg


8. DEAD AND GONE

Hey good lookin' what you, got cookin,
Put the needle in the spoon,
Hey sweet baby don't you say maybe,
I know you'll need a fix real soon,
Your eyes are lookin' glassy,
You think you're real sassy,
But you know your headed for your doom,
You look a little older but you sure ain't no wiser,
You're running for a stone-cold tomb.

[Chorus:]
You've got to find out for yourself,
You've got to learn it all on your own,
All this messing around,
Gonna put you in the ground,
The needle leave you dead and gone,
The needle leave you dead and gone.

Start to feel the power,
Hundred miles per hour,
You're on the wrong side of the road,
Your eyes are getting lighter,
Your face is getting whiter,
You're going to start feeling the load,
Your hands a-start a-shaking,
You'll feel your mind a-breaking,
You'll wonder why it's getting so cold,
Your body's feeling icy,
That box will hold you nicely,
You'd better say goodbye to your soul.

[Chorus]

Hey good lookin' what you, got cookin,
Put the needle in the spoon,
Hey sweet baby don't you say maybe,
I know you'll need a fix real soon,
Your eyes are lookin' glassy,
You think you're real sassy,
But you know your headed for your doom,
You look a little older but you sure ain't no wiser,
You're running for a stone-cold tomb.

[Chorus]


9. SADDLE TRAMP

Well, I pulled out of canyon county
Great cradle of the west
My mama and me and one lone dog
Tryin' to do our best
Strangers all around me
Said none knew my name
I came to take back this land
I came to stake my claim, yes sir

The farm is all I've ever know
It bears my family name
But, damn, my brother got drunk one night
And lost it all in a poker game
Shots rang through the silence
I heard the angels cry
You never arrive a winner a saint or a sinner
The boy said aces high

[Chorus:]
Saddle tramp you're back in action
Lookin' for the man that took my brother
I came to put him down
Saddle tramp you spend your whole life
Runnin' like the wind....going for the bounty but
Riding for the thrill

Mama died of a broken heart
The way my brother threw his life away
But when they put him in the ground
It like to kill me just the same
Half past the hour of midnight
I looked into the killers eyes
I pulled my 45 and bullets started flyin'
The man he had to die

[Chorus] (x2)

Everytime you take a life,
The devils watching you
He'll fill you with a pack of lies
And he'll steal your soul from you... I say


10. FALL OF THE PEACEMAKERS

A king without a sword
A land without a king
A truth without a voice
One song left to sing
One song to sing

A wise man told me there's something you should know
The way you judge a man is to look into his soul
And you'll soon see everything.

A voice from the past cried "Give peace a chance"
He paid our price now he's free at last
Imagine, we called him a dreamer!
How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness,
Oh, stop the madness.

If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
At our journey's end then return we must
To the sands of the shore
White doves in flight
Peace to all
But tell me why the peacemakers fall
Must we bury anymore?

The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by
A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes
And we all wept in silence
How many times must good men die?
How many times will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness
Oh, stop the madness
Oh, stop all the madness.
