Hey whiskey man, you're 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.
Chorus:
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
It takes whiskey to make you tall,
You ain't so very damn tall at all.
You start to get straight , then you get weak,
Can't you see your on a loosing streak.
You have your highs, you have your lows,
Nobody knows which way you'll go.
Chorus:
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Hey don't you know,
I use to be there myself,
I tried to kick the habit, baby, with nobody else's help.
I have my highs, I have my lows,
But nobody knows which way I'll go.
Written by: David Lawrence Hlubek, Danny Joe Brown, Steven Jerome Holland, Bruce Hull Crump, Jr.Chorus:
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
Whiskey man, don't you play that hand too long.
My horse is kicking dust up off the trail,
I'm just getting back from a trip to HELL.
My six gun she's stapped by my side,
Thunder is the horse that I ride.
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.
Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose.
Running, running from the noose.
Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they feel like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money I earn?
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.
Chorus:
Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose.
I'm a bounty hunter, I'll hunt you down, yeah, I will.
LEAD BREAK
Did you know $500 will get your head blown off?
It will....ha, ha, ha
Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they fell like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money I earn?
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.
Written by: Danny Joe Brown, Steven Jerome Holland, Dave Lawerence HlubekChorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose,
(REPEAT),
I'm a bounty hunter going to hunt you down.
I'm going down to the river,
Just to bide my time away,
Don't you look or me
tommorrow,
Cause I won't be back this way,
Oh girl I hate to leave you,
But I just can't seem to
say,
When I see the sunrise in your eyes,
Darling I'll be on the way.
The miles go by so slowly,
It seems that time stands still,
I long for the day that I can
settle down,
But I guess I never will,
Oh the cities they pass by me,
Like the ships that sail the
sea,
Lord I here that highway calling,
Darling I hope you'll wait for me.
Oh it's cold here in the city,
I live my life from day to day,
Guess I'll always be a
rambler,
But it's so hard to find my way,
Lord I need someone to help me,
I just can't go on this
way,
I need your smiling face beside me,
So darling I'm coming home today.
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.
Chorus:
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Yea I'm so satisfied
Oohh I'm so satisfied
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.
Chorus:
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Yea I'm so satisfied
Oohh I'm so satisfied
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.
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man
Oohh yea I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man
Oohh I'm so satisfied
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
Satisfied man
I'm a satisfied man.
I've got this feelin' inside me babe
Got my eyes on you
Just a matter of time
'Till I make up my mind
Before the night is through.
Chorus:
I'm a hunter
I'm a stalker
I'm a creeper round every corner

Your love is all I need
Ain't no use in runnin' now
'Cause I get what I always go after
I'm on the prowl.
Aint nothing in the whole world, honey

'Cause I get what I always get what I go after
I'm on the prowl.
All alone with a full moon to light my night.
Been six long months since I held you
tight.
It's 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, don't
be so sad.
I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my
song.
We made a deal,
I remember the pact,
Now you're gone and I need you back.
Honey,
don't be so mad.
There's no other,
there never could be,
You're my woman, my family.
Honey,
baby, take me back.
I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my
song.
Chorus:
A feeling inside I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't 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.
I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, this pain in my
soul.

The feeling inside,
I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't you come back home?
Yeah, a long time.
Well, I've been stepped on, baby,
By people I thought were my friends.
I tried so hard to make it.
But the bad times never end.
I got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind.
Gonna pack it up, little darlin'.
And leave you far behind.
Chorus:
I'll be running.
Yes, 'll be running down the line.
Well, I've beeen locked up, oh yes,
They threw away the key,
When I need you then bad, woman.
You ran up and ran out on me.
I just got one thing now, baby.
One thing on my mind,
Gotta pack it up little darlin'.
Ain't no use in crying.
Chorus:
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running down the line.
LEAD GUITAR AND HARP BREAK
Yea, life was so sweet, little baby,
Now I've got my doubts.
I don't remember checking in,
But I'm soon to check out.
Got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind,
Gonna pack it up, mama,
This time I ain't lying.

You can break a mirror
Light three on a match
Walk under a ladder
Kick a black cat
Try your luck in Vegas
Shoot nothing but craps
But I'll gamble on my lady
When my luck's running bad.
Chorus:
'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.
Spin the wheel of fortune
Look for your pot of gold
Try to make the clock turn back
And never get old
Rolling 7's and 11's
'Till the dice grow cold
But I'll always be a winner
With the luck that I hold.
Chorus:
'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

Let me tell you a story
A story you can understand
About a little girl
That had a whole world
Right in the palm of her hand
Now she was born
With a silver spoon
She eats off a silver plate
And when she's good
She's very, very good
But when she's bad
She's great.
Chorus:
And she's mine
All mine
Her heart belongs to me
She's mine
All mine
One hot piece of property.
You can find her
At the head of the table
And brother, she won't let you starve
You can feel the force
When you're the main course
The lady's getting ready to carve.
Well, you can put her on a pedestal
But you will never shoot her down
Ah, when you get that ride
On a Saturday night
She's the hotest game in town.
Chorus:
And she's mine
All mine
Her heart belongs to me
She's mine
All mine
One hot piece of property She's mine
All mine
And that's the way she wants it to be
She's mine
All mine
And we're keeping good company.
Let me tell you a story
A story you can understand
About a litttle girl
That had the whole world
Right in the palm of her hand
Now she was born with a silver spoon
She eats off a silver plate
And when she's good
She's very, very good
And when she's bad
She's great.
Written by: Banner ThomasChorus:
She's mine
All mine
One ot piece of property
She's mine
All mine
And that's the way she wants it to be
She's mine
All mine
And we're keeping good company.
I had me a woman one time,
Back a long time ago,
She seemed to treat me so
fine,
I didn't want to let her go,
She'd find a new way to,
Find peace of mind,
She left me flat and
standin' here,
With nothing but a dime,
She said she found herself,
Another way of life,
I gave
her my everything,
And treated her right
Chorus:
Didn't know what it was about her,
But I want her back,
Oh Lord would you help me please,
I gotta get me back
My daddy told me one time,
Son don't ya be no fool,
Most women will treat you
kind,
Then they'll treat you cruel,
But you got to look forward,
To a new day that's coming,
Got
to quit chasin' that girl son,
Slow up your runnin',
Things will get better son,
A new day
tommorrow,
Forget about that girl and,
Throw away your sorrow
I couldn't forget about her,
Not about that stuff,
She'd been with me too long,
But let her have it rough
I had me woman one time,
Back a long time ago,
She seemed to treat me so fine,
I didn't want to let her go,
She'd find a new way to,
Find peace of mind,
She left me flat and
standin' here,
With nothing but a dime,
She said she found herself,
Another way of life,
I gave
her my everything,
And treated her right
Chorus:
Didn't know what it was about her,
But I want her back,
Oh Lord would you help me please,
I gotta get me back
