Back in the Saddle    (Perry/Tyler, 4:39)

(Chorus)
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for ol' Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

Chorus

Come easy, go easy
All right until the risin' sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more

Fool's gold out of their mines
Ther girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, I really got a fistful
I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

Chorus

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high already



Sweet Emotion    (Hamilton/Tyler, 4:34)

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

You talk about things and nobody cares
You're wearin' out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say babe where I'll be in a year

Some sweet talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it is

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and I'll be eating from your hand



Lord of the Thighs    (Tyler, 4:14)

Down to who knows who just to socialize
I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, lordy my God
What do we got here
She's flashin' cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of your thighs
You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you don't really mind it
I am the lord of your thighs



Toys in the Attic    (Perry/Tyler, 3:05)

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's the dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's the dream

Chorus:
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's the dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from the mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for all the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's the dream

(Repeat chorus)



Last Child    (Tyler/Whitford, 3:27)

I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living back home
Right!
Yeah... yeah

Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no does
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J. Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in her beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
It ain't no good when the boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
[Repeat]



Come Together    (Lennon, McCartney, 4:51)

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got  monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together
Right now
Over me

He bag production
He got walrus gumboat
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Come together
Right now
Over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good lookin' 'cause he so hard to see

Come together
Right now
Over me

Come together
Come together
Come together
Come together
Come together



Walk This Way    (Perry/Tyler, 3:40)

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Gonna talk to you my daddy say
He said, You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swinger with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' cause she knew what she was doin'
Then I know'd love was here to stay

When she told me to walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!

School girl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swinger with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way

She told me to walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!



Sick as a Dog    (Hamilton/Tyler, 4:12)

Please, I just got to talk to you
Please, well keep your head out of the loo
Please, we're a long, long way from home
Please, you'd turn a young man's face to stone

(Chorus)
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, a cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, 'cause you really ain't that young

Please, you were much to my surprise
Please, you're a lady in disguise
Please, you're the only friend I got
Please, you're the last to see me rot

Please, it's a shame you're so refined
Please, she was the last thing on my miind
Please, don't be late to take it light
Please, you're gonna bay into the night

Say goodnight



Dream On    (Tyler, 4:27)

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All these things come back to you
(All these things you do, pretty mama, come back to you)

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away



Chip Away the Stone    (Supa, 4:12)

You act like a Prima Donna
Playing so hard to get
Sittin' so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' on a cigarette
You keep a wall around ya
And I'll get through some day
And I want your love babe, if push comes to shove
Gonna chip that wall away
Chip away
Chip away the stone
I won't stop till your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mam I wanna get next to you
You stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer I must, I'm gonna get through your crust
Gonna chip that stone away
Chip it, I'm gonna nip it, all night long



Sight for Sore Eyes    (Douglas/J/P/T, 3:18)

Goin' downtown, goin' down, goin' down
'Neath the city, eatin' ground round
Underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
That's when I knew she was a

Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
Downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
Under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw, she held the knife

Oh, holy Jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
She's a nitty gritty

Turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
Naked foul while under there
Under where it's pretty gritty
Hey, don't you know people
She's a love lust hussy
She left, oh she rust me
Dear old girl
She was a sight for sore eyes
But she was sittin' pretty
A sight for sore eyes
She was a nitty gritty
Sight for sore eyes
Peeled back and parted
Even at the start it was delght or demise
I feel like a leopard king
Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes



Mama Kin    (Tyler, 4:27)

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream 'n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Wel you've always got your tail on the way
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on a wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea



S.O.S.    (Tyler, 2:51)

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Makin' things glow in the night
Well, she would if she could
And she'd be good if she would
Only tell her lover she be out tonight

Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Salt lake city, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win

Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad

It's too bad
Can't get me none of that

New sold lady
My mama Cady
Chivalry was born at her feet
Well she should have thought twice
When pa showed his dice
Imagine put my daddy to sleep

Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
(Repeat)



I Ain't Got You    (Carter, 3:57)

For All Night Dwight
Got a 56 Cadillac
With a spare tire on the back
Got a charge account in my ol' bank
Said, I ain't got you

Got a classic and a pool
And a big hair ghoul
No matter who I fool
Said, I ain't got you

(Chorus)
Got a baby and a liquor store
I played the number four-forty-four
Got a mojo and dontcha know?
I'm all dressed up with no place to go
Got women to the left of me
Got women to the right of me
I got chicks all around me
Said, I ain't got you
(Repeat)

Mr. Whitford
You know I ain't got you baby



Mother Popcorn    (Brown/Ellis, 7:00)

Some like 'em short, some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin, skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered, I like 'em proud
Now when they walk, you know they'll draw a crowd

See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
Whatcha say, whatcha say
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
One more, gimme, gimme
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me, hey

Popcorn, popcorn, cheese cake, cheese cake
Honey, I can't see ya, yeah, baby
Listen here

Some like 'em short, some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin, skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered, I like 'em proud
And when they walk, you know they'll draw a crowd

See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me

Said you gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother for me
And you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother, said you gotta have, said you gotta have,
Said you gotta have, said you gotta have

She got to use what she got to get just what she wants
She got to use what she got to get just what she wants
She got to use what she got to get just what she wants
She got to use what she got to get just what she wants

What it is, what it is, just what it is
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
Let's get outta here
See - Well, you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me

Said you gotta have a mother
Said ya gotta have, gotta have, gotta have, gotta have,
Gotta have, gotta have, gotta have
Ooh Honey, you gotta have a mother for me



Train Kept A-Rollin'
   (Bradshaw/K/M, 5:33)

Well on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kinda looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old Fair Lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so

(Chorus)
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!" and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kinda looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old Fair Lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so

(Chorus)

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her

Well we made a stop in Albuquerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so

I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her
