Blackfoot

Good Morning

Well, it's minus five outside your house
And ninety degrees in bed
Your wife says get up and go to work
You long-haired, lazy head
Now I know where you've been all night
And maybe what's wrong with you
You've been makin' love to the little woman
Or a midnight rendezvous
Good Mornin'

Now the young exec, he hits the deck
And oh, he's dressed to kill
Before he goes, oh yes, he knows
He's gotta have a wake-up pill
From nine to five he feels alive
Jumpin' to the speed of sound
But the young exec, he hit the deck
'Cause his little pill let him down

Chorus:
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin', so put a smile upon your face
Being alive is no disgrace
You can make it a better place,
By havin' yourself a good mornin'

So put a smile upon your face
Being alive is no disgrace
You can make it a better place
By havin' yourself a good mornin'

Well the sun is up, let's lift a cup
And do it all over again
A little blood and a lot of sweat
Hard workin' ain't no sin
Don't sit around wearin' a frown
Your life will slip away
Give a bump and a little hump
It's gonna be a beautiful day

Repeat Chorus

Payin' For It

Ah, she was a roller and a midnight stroller
Used to walk in the night
A little teaser, full time pleaser
Standin' under the light
Lookin' for a buyer that was lookin' to hire
Oooh, her service day or night yeah
And she's payin' for it now

Chorus:
Came a day when her looks faded away,
Her outside beauty was gone
Yet inside, still had her pride
Don't you know life goes on
Tryin' to stay young, always on the run
Livin' her life in the streets
Now they look away, this is the price that she pays
She's payin' for it, she's payin' for it now
Ah, she's payin' for it, she's payin' for it now

Ah ---- Ah --
Ah ---- Ah --

Repeat Chorus

Diary of a Workingman

In a room all alone waiting by the telephone
With a tear in his eye and a pen in his hand
So begins the diary of a working man

He'd been poor man all his life
And just when things were going right
Some stranger takes his woman away
He doesn't know if he'll see, oh, another day
Oh, another day

Time has come and he was right,
It was a cold and rainy night
And he thought for sure she would follow
But it won't be the same, no tomorrow

Now here's a man glory bound
In a pool of dreams about to drown
If he can just get through this night
Then maybe tomorrow things will work out right
Oh, will work out right

Chorus:
Well, with the pain in his blood
He'd love to take her if he could
And as he wakes with a scream
To only it's just reality

He woke with sweaty hands
Maybe there'll be a change in plans
With a tear in his eye and a gun in his hand
So ends the diary of a workingman

Too Hard to Handle

Down South, South of the border
At a new sunrise where the
workin' woman hates law & order
Oooo those chaquitas with incredible thighs

Chorus:
Too hard to handle, they're too hard for you
Too hard to handle, they're too hard,
They're too tough for you

Small time gambler lays down his money
to play some five card stud
But the big time winner really was the loser
He caught a case of an unlucky love

Repeat Chorus

Cause sweet Lolita's hotter than a pepper
You know her pepper's gonna burn you in two
She's a young man's dream, every Mother's nightmare
Pure woman through and through
Don't take no chances on hot romances
such as this one
It may happen to you

Repeat chorus

Cause there's no future with a snake-eyed lover
She's hung up on them ups & downs
But if you're lonely, think you're the only
Her love's the best, it's the hottest in town, ah yes!

Fly Away

Wake up baby, smile at me
The sun is shinin' and the wind's blowin' free
I got to thinkin' ooo yesterday
That silver bird can take us away
Get it on now

Single boys, they're out on the town
Lookin' for them pretty girls hangin' around
Man on the radio is tellin' us the news
Summertime's here, kick the mud off your
shoes, yeah

- Chorus:
Fly away, fly away
That silver bird can take us away
Fly away, do it today
Come on, woman, now let's get away

I'm tired or workin', feels like for nothin'
Well, I ain't gettin' any younger
Why can't I live for today

Are you tired of workin', feels like nothin'
Well, you ain't gettin' any younger
Why can't we all live for today?

Friends of mine want'a'buy me a drink
So loaded now, hell, I can't even think
Went on home, I put my lady in the car
Jumped on that bird just to see how far we could....

Repeat Chorus

Dry County

Ah, sitting in the back seat of a low
Ride automobile
We're cruisin' on the outskirts
Lookin' for a two-legged deal

We got a Dry County, can't find no spirits here
Dry County, run for your life out of fear
For things that you cannot find
Across a Dry County line

If the signs say liquor in the front baby
And poker in the rear
All you find is trouble
It's best that you get out of here

-Chorus:
You got a Dry County, can't find no vices here
No, no, no, no, no
Dry County, run for your life out of fear
Run for your life out of fear
Can't find no spirits nowhere
For things that you cannot find across
A Dry County line

Ah, L.A. to London, Buzzard Country, New Mexico
Detroit, Atlanta,
There ain't no place that's too far to go To get away from this
Dry County, can't find no vices here
Dry County, run for your life out of here
Ah, run baby, keep on runnin'
Ah, there ain't no Busch nowhere
For things that you cannot find
Across a Dry County line

Fire of the Dragon

A young man lies with a needle in his arm,
China white in his hand
Say a little prayer for his unlucky soul
It's so sad, so sad
Fire Of The Dragon
Fire Of The Dragon

The scene was set and the time was right
A pretty girl walked the streets
Lookin' for a hand out
Turn a trick or two and she'll get
Just what she needs

'Cause it's the outlaw in the city
Voodoo in our town
Steals the life from those you pity
And leaves them under the ground

- Chorus:
Fire Of The Dragon
He left his mark all over your hands
Dirty Dragon and took 'em to their
Promised land

Cat Brown has a hit the streets
Middle East struck again
When you're shakin' and your body's so weak
It seems you just can't win
So at night when you're naked with your bride
Think about what I've said
Think about the young man and his lady love
It's so sad, so bad

'Cause it's the outlaw in your city
Voodoo in the town
Stole the life from those you pitied
And left them under the ground

Repeat Chorus

Rattlesnake Rock 'N Roller

Well I'd rather be a fishin'
Or at least just a wishin' I was
And if you really ask me
I'll tell you what is in my heart
'Cause I'm a down home picker
And a country boy singer
To start

I love cruisin' down the highway
Gettin' set to play at night
Or sittin' in a honky tonk
With a mason jar 'till light
And if I get the call
You know I'm not afraid to fight

- Chorus:
'Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller.

Well I'm a headin' for the country
With the stars shinin' up above
Gonna do me some fishin'
Instead of just a wishin' I was
'Cause a Rattlesnake bites
And a moonlit nites is a what I love

Repeat Chorus

Searchin'

Well, I'm walkin' on a road that
ends when I'm gone
Lawd, I'm runnin', yeah, from all the things
I fear the most
I need some directions on how, that I can find my life
Well, I'm just like you, I Lawd, I'm searchin'

Well, they tell me that a man must crawl before he can walk
Yes, they told me, oooh. you gotta cry before you can talk
I've done me enough crawlin'
It made me moan and cry out loud,
Are you with me now?

Chorus:
Searchin' for the life you cannot find
Searchin' for the one you left behind
Gotta give me a reason, show me your light
Stand up and fight for yourself
Oooh. are you searchin'

Can you remember when you were young, you had your fun
And your first love stole your heart, maybe tore it apart
And did you pick up the pieces
Right or wrong, were you strong to fight?
Well, I was just like you, l.....

Chorus:
Searchin' for the one you cannot find
Searchin' for the one you left behind
Searchin' for the one you left behind
Gotta give me a reason, show me your light
Stand up and fight for yourself
