Molly Hatchet

Bounty Hunter

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.

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.

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.

Gator Country

I've been to Alabama, people ain't a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it ain't nothing to me.
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tenessee, ha!
But I'm going back to gator country where the wine and the women are free.

Old Richard Betts will tell ya Lord he was born a Ramblin' Man.
Well he can ramble back to Georgia but I won't give a damn.
Elvin Bishop out struttin his stuff with little Miss Slick Titty Boom.
But I'm going back to gator country to get me some elbow room.

There's Marshall Tucker riding a rainbow searching for a pot of gold.
Well they can take the highway, baby, and they can take all they can hold.
The Outlaws down in Tampa town it's a mighty fine place to be.
They got green grass and got high tides and sure looks good to me.

LEAD BREAK

Oh gator country,
a little bit of that chomp chomp

LEAD BREAK

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.

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.,br> 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.

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.

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.

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.

Bloody Reunion

Out streetwalking on a Saturday night
Looking for the man
Staying out of sight
Trying to find something
To ease my mind
Traffic lights a-blinkin'
And I'm right on time
Come around a corner
On 4th and Main
Joint was a -jumpin'
People going insane
Jukebox a-flappin'
On through the night
I think all the boys
Are starting up a bloody reunion.

Here comes Mary
In a long red dress
Looking hot 'n' sasy
Just like all the rest
Leaning on a lamp post
And she's dressed to kill
Lord she wants to make it
And I think I will
Coming on strong
And giving me the eye
Ain't no way
I'm gonna pass it by
Tonight we're gonna do it
Gonna get it right
Me and Miss Mary
Gonna start another
Bloody reunion.

Lord what a party
Everybody feelin' right
Drinking and a-smoking
Everybody's high as a kite.

Respect Me in the Morning

Well, I remember when I met you baby
Back a long time ago
Well, you were telling me you loved me
I bet you just didn't know
Well, now you say
That you've got news for me
Well, I know it's the hurting kind
Well, I know you're gonna tell me
Baby, you can never see
And you keep on screaming at me
As I'm going out the door

Well, I remember whe I met you baby
Back a long time ago
You were telling me you loved me
How much you just didn't know
But now you say you got news for me
Well, I know it's a hurting kind
I know you're gonna tell me
Baby, you can never be mine
And you keep on screaming at me
As I'm going out the door

Fall of the Peacemakers

A king without a sword
A land without a king
The 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
And imagine we called him a dreamer.
How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry?
Till we suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness,
Stop the madness.

If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
And our journey ends and 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

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

Dead Giveaway

I want to tell you
What happened to me
A love-struck fool
Too blind to see
The old kiss and tell
Broke her cleaver disguise
I should have known better
By the look in her eyes.

Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
Now she's gone, I'm lonely and blue
If you don't watch out
It'll happen to you.

Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
A case of mistaken identity
I was blind back then
But now I can see.

The Rambler

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.
