Hell & High Water

By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
We've been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as we've got a quarter between us all,
We're gonna have money to spend, oh.
Kicked down the doors in new orleans,
We got busted at grove hill where nobody goes,
And long bob drove us to the badlands,
You can bet your ass we're gonna make it down to tomorrow night's show.
Chorus:
We took time by the horns,
Cryin' out loud,
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd,
Been a million miles,
On a lost highway,
They might name a street after us one of these days.
Oh, we've seen the good times, we've seen the bad.
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had,
And the stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill,
But we ain't changed our ways, and i guess we never will.

I Got A Right To Be Wrong

By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Oh-uh-oh, oooh.
I got a right to be wrong.
I got a right to be lonely when youre gone.
Whoa, Ill get out around, tear up my own home town.
Get mocked up, locked up, wind up in the lost and found,
Oh, I got a right to be wrong.
Well its so easy to give advice,
When you aint the one who got to pay the price.
Sit up there on your hill telling me I got to sink or swim.
Well it might thrill you, to make me want to kill ya,
I cant believe youre leavin me for him,
I got a right to be wrong.
Chorus:
Oh, loan me a dollar and watch me follow you around,
You got all the moves, youre puttin me through school.
Oh, I give you my best, but I guess Im still your fool,
Babe, I got you down in my song.
I got a right to be wrong.
Ive been con-flicted, e-victed, re-stricted,
Served with a letter sent to whom it may concern,
Still around lord, Im still in town,
A lesson hard learned nearly got me down,
Its a cryin shame, you dont even know my name,
A low down lonesome song,
I got a right to be wrong.
Chorus
I got a right to be wrong.

Cant Take It With You

By dickey betts and don johnson

Cant take it with you.
Everybody knows.
Cant take it with you when you go.
Cant hide your love away.
Save it up for a rainy day.
Ya cant take it with you when you go.
And it hurts so bad when you finally have to show.
Chorus:
Cant take it with you.
Everybody knows.
Cant take it with you when you go.
Cant hide your love away.
Save it up for a rainy day.
You cant take it with you when you go.
No, you cant take it with you when you go. ooo.
No, you cant take it with you when you go, oh, no.
Play it high or low.
Break the bank in monte carlo.
You can play it just the way it falls.
Cut it like you want to.
But it just might come back and haunt you.
Lady lucks your mama when she calls.
Chorus
Hot-wire a fast car
Just to take a ride.
You can run, but you sure cannot hide.
Oh, tell her a lie
And live with it til you die, but you
Cant take it with you when you go.

Makin Music For Money

By: alex harvey
1974
When I woke up this mornin
I was tired as I could be
I think I was countin my money
When I should a been countin sheep
My agent he just called me
And told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of makin music for me
Chorus:
I said, I know that this may sound funny
But money dont mean nothin to me
I wont make my music for money
No, Im gonna make my music for me
He said, the people only buy the love songs
Rock n roll and not too long
He said, son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on
And I said, turnin on the people
Now thats a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin them up a rhyme
Well, whos gonna turn on me?
Repeat chorus:
Well now I went up to country
And Ill tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That wasnt touched by the music machine
Whoa, the people were havin a good time
Makin music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin a song
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Whoa, I know...

Million Different Ways

Every time I go down your street
I pray we'll meet
I look around and nothing's changed
But all this time has separated us
Press rewind and stop the tape
Let's play it from the start
And pause before we part
We'll lay it down again
Chorus:
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
Dadadadada
And now we're face to face
We can't find words to communicate
We can't go on
Hiding there's something wrong
Press rewind and stop the tape
Replay it from the past
Confusing what we had
Can't try it out again
Chorus:
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
Nobody's ever come close to us
Confident this time we might pull through
But the.....
I can't hear you
Chorus:
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do
And whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that
There's a million different ways
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)
To love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me)

Time To Kill

Well, I was born on a dead end street
I'm cold blooded but I always felt the heat.
All my friend are dead and gone
If there's a hell, I'm one step closer to it
Somewhere I crossed the line
Somewhere I'm lost in time
I lost my soul and now I'm losing my mind
Time to kill I've had enough of all your lies
I've only got time to kill
I've seen the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
I spend my days counting bricks on the wall
And every night I hear those sirens call
I sink deeper into a convict's sleep
And dream about the day I'm gonna hit the streets
One time I cursed the man
He laughed and broke my hand
I'm gonna take that fist and make him understand
I'll make him understand
I've had enough of long goodbyes
I've only got time to kill
I feel the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
Y'know I always thought there was time enough
To win the game
But now I know times are rough
The seasons changed, times are strange
Somewhere I crossed the line
Somewhere I'm lost in time
I lost my soul and now I'm losing my mind
Time to kill I've had enough of all your lies
I've only got time to kill
I've seen the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
I've had enough of long goodbyes
I've only got time to kill
I feel the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill

Were Gonna Have A Good Time

Were gonna have a good time, its gonna be a rock n roll night
Were gonna have a good time, were gonna play the music all night
Come on now, get the music on
Were gonna dance & sing till the night is gone
Im feeling good, Im feeling better now
You can really do it and Ill show you how
So come on, cant you hear me saying, dont you think about yesterday
Were gonna have a good time, its gonna be a rock n roll night
Were gonna have a good time, were gonna play the music all night
Ooh, sit down, I dont want ya rocking the boat
You got your high heels shoes and your overcoat
I believe things are better now if you just let go, I can show you how
So come on, its no time for sorrow, dont you think about tomorrow
Were gonna have a good time, its gonna be a rock n roll night
Were gonna have a good time, were gonna play the music all night...

Climb That Mountain High

(don schlitz/reba mcentire)
Red sun a-rising, over the hill
Ive had enough of this desert to last from now until
Im tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out
Chorus:
Im gonna climb that mountain high
Im gonna see whats on the other side
Im gonna kiss this town good-bye
Im gonna climb that mountain
How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil wouldve chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true
Repeat chorus
If I stay here forever
What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
Im gonna climb that mountain high

Its My Life

This aint a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I aint gonna be just a face in the crowd
Youre gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
Chorus:
Its my life
Its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while Im alive
Its my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrows getting harder make no mistake
Luck aint even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
cause its my life
Better stand tall when theyre calling you out
Dont bend, dont break, baby, dont back down
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said

Look back, light the night with a blow torch and a match.

Aint that low down, low down dirty mean
The way youve been treatin me,
Beats all Ive ever seen.
I loaned you my brand new car,
Said you was goin for a sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,

Put the word out on the street,
And I heard you was down in memphis,
With a big man in the drivers seat.
Chorus
Got me a hidin in the bushes,
Peekin in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know youre in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe youve got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
Chorus
Makin my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby Im runnin out of patience,
And you are runnin out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,

Youre gonna be in some kind of fix.

Everything will work out just fine
Thats when I can go crazy
Thats when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone

Wheres the party, I want to free my soul
Wheres the party, I want to lose control

Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
Im not living in fear
Im just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here

Dont want to grow old too fast
Dont want to let the system get me down
