Flirtin' With Disaster

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

Been 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 want to be - YEAH.
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:

I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Yeah! I've 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,
Can't seem to slow it down.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin' faster,
Got our sights set straight ahead,
But ain't sure what we're after.

Flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll 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 - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:

Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

Flirtin' with disaster, baby,
Ya'll 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 - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:

Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

Dreams I'll Never See

Just one more morning I had to wake up with the blues.
Pulled myself out of bed, put on my walking shoes.
Went up on the mountain to see what I could see.
The whole world was falling right down in front of me.

Pull myself together, put on a new face,
Climb down off the hilltop baby,
And get back in the race.

'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see,
Yeah babe, oh help me babe,
Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LEAD BREAK

Loss of Control

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Stone in Your Heart

Is ths how it ends
As strangers again
It's over but you won't explain
No kiss, no goodbye, but one final lie
Just cold to the phone from the ice that's runin' through your veins
You got stone in your heart.

Run away and hide
Keep it inside
Make believe we never happened
All your gonna do is keep it in you
So now you'll find is love's been passin' you by.

Sweet Dixie

Oh take me home, baby

Man that dixie music makes
Move your feet around
Another blast of that southern mass
in the god 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.

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.

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 abouth that livin' down in dixie U.S.A.

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

Good Smoke and Whiskey

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

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.

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

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