Everytime I Roll The Dice
(written by Max D. Barnes and Tray Seals)

She's got a roof that don't leak
When the rain's pouring down
She's got a place I can sleep
Where I'm save and sound
She's got a lock on her door
But she gave me a key
She don't walk the floor
Oh, but she worries about me

(Chorus)
Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
But I'm holding on for dear life
She's like a rolling seven
Everytime I roll the dice

She's got a big Oldsmobile
She's got a dog that don't bite
She's got a heart I can steal
Just like a thief in the night
She's got a slow burning fire
She keeps her radio low
When she gets inspired
We let the good times roll

(Repeat chorus twice)

Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll the dice
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll the dice
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll the dice
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll
Everytime I roll the dice

Good Man Good Woman
(written by C. Womack and L. Womack)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Midnight, I'm wound up tight
Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I been lyin' low from work,
Hanging' over from the hurt from you, babe
But I'm gonna suffer through the strain 'til I get a
Better thing with you, Darlin', me and you

So hard to see so far ahead
When I can't seem to drag myself out of bed
Gotta find me a good man...a good man...good man...yeah

You better stop and think about what you're saying
I was seriously dedicated this game of playin'
You made ten thousand promises you couldn't keep
I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped
I put up with your disrespect and neglect
And what an experience I'll never forget

'Til now everything I did was wrong
I'm sorry baby
Today we're free, but we live alone
Gotta find me a good woman...good woman...good woman...yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam and then the shower
When I got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell in the water you left on

Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

I Used To Worry
(written Scott Miller and Tony Arata)

Well, I used to worry where all my money had gone
'Til I wound up with nothing to spend my money on
I used to guard my time like diamonds and pearls
'Til I wind up with nothing but all the time in the world

(Chorus)
Just to think I used to worry about things like that
I used to worry 'bout rich and skinny 'til I wound up poor and fat
Now days I kind of worry where my mind's been at
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

I used to worry about making the grade
Hanging out with the right people and playing their games
I'd throw a party; they'd be wall to wall
But in a lonely minute, I had no one to call

(Repeat chorus)

Just to think I
Just to think I used to worry
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

Just to think I used to worry about things like that
I used to worry 'bout rich and skinny 'til I wound up poor and fat
Some times I kind of wonder where my mind's been at
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

Just to think I used to worry about things like that
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

Never Been Rocked Enough
(written Delbert McClinton and Troy Seals)

I watch you come in here
Night after night
You sit over in the corner
Where there ain't no light
You got a beautiful smile
But you don't have fun
Somethin' about you baby
Been left undone

(Chorus)
You've been over here in the dark so long
I ain't no doctor, but I know what's wrong...
You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
You act tense and nervous
Honey, you're too uptight
You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
My time is your time baby
And baby I've got all night

I don't pull no punch
I don't play no games
It ain't none of my business
But it seems a shame
Now I can't hold back
I got to speak my mind
You look like a woman
That needs a real good time

(Repeat chorus)

You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
You act tense and nervous
Honey, you're too uptight
You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
My time is your time baby
And baby I've got all night

Stir It Up
(written Bob Marley)

Stir it up, little darlin'
Stir it up, oh yeah
Stir it up, little darlin'
It's been a long, long time
Since I had you on my mind
Now you are here; and it's so very clear
There's so much we can do
Just me and you

Come on, stir it up, little darlin' Stir it up, oh yeah
Stir it up, little darlin'

I'll push the wood, light the fire
Oh, I'll satisfy your heart's desire
I will stir it every, every, every minute baby

All you have to do girl, is
Oh baby, stir it up, little darlin'
Stir it up, oh yeah
Stir it up, little darlin'

I'll push the wood, light the fire
Oh, satisfy your heart's desire
Little girl, I'll stir it every, every, every minute

All you got to do baby
Come on, come on
Stir it up, little darlin'
Stir it up, oh yeah
Stir it up, little darlin'
Stir it up, oh yeah
Come on, stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up
Stir it up

Why Me
(written Delbert McClinton and J. Fred Knobloch)

I met her in a night club over on the lower east side
I was workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove alife
She looked like a bunny out of Playboy magazine
I just had to meet her; she was the cutest thing I'd ever seen

She had high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue eyes
The way she was movin' to the music had me hypnotized
I ran up to her, said "Baby, what's your name?"
I should've known better; now I've only got myself to blame

(Chorus)
I said why, why, why me?
Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need
If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave
I said why, why, why me?

Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in town
Bam! A hundred dollars every time I turned around
'Bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was gone
And I was cryin' out loud to myself, as I was walkin' home

(Repeat chorus)

Why, why, why me?
