Low Down Dirty Mean
By dickey betts and johnn neel
(c) 1990 cbs records, inc.
Chorus:
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,
I dont know if you are dead or alive,
I got on the telephone this morning,
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,
If I ever turn on you baby,
Youre gonna be in some kind of fix.
Chorus (twice)
Yeah so low down, I know, low down dirty mean, ahhhhhh!

Shine It On
By dickey betts and warren haynes
(c) 1990 cbs records, inc.
Ive had my troubles,
I know youve had your troubles too.
Sometimes when you need a little sunshine,
It keeps rainin down on you.
But Im not gonna let it get me down,
Keep on pullin, things are gonna come around.
Shine it on,
Shine it on.
Little blue-eyed woman,
She made me feel so fine.
She got what she wanted,
Then she moved on down the line.
Yes I know about the pain,
Tears are gonna fall,
Just like rain.
Chorus:
Shine it on,
Look around you see whats goin on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Dont let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
You got to go on,
Its just the dark before the dawn,
Shine it on.
Shine it on,
Look around you see whats goin on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Dont let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
Shine it on,
Look around you see whats goin on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Shine it on, oh baby.
Shine it on, shine it on, shine it on,

Keep on keepin on
By dickey betts and daniel toler

Tried everything I know,
Held my hand but now Ive got to show.
Trying to understand the things youve learned,
But you dont seem to be concerned at all.
Chorus:
Im gonna keep on keepin on,
Aint gonna leave you alone,
Keep on keepin on,
Aint gonna leave you alone,
Gonna get you to love me.
Sometimes it seems like theres just no way at all,
You just keep drifting and drifting away.
You aint never home, when I call you on the telephone,
But Im gonna fool around, get you back someday.

I dont care what everybodys gotta say,
Im gonna love you anyway,
Even if you dont care any longer,
My little bit of love keeps getting stronger.

Let Me Ride
By dickey betts
(c) 1990 cbs records, inc.
Transcribed by matt dickie
Well now times got hard
And I didnt draw the card I needed
So I proceeded to bang it on down the line
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room wont you let me ride?
Just as far as youre going
And lord knowing Ill be much obliged.
There was a light rain falling
I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
Feeling a chill when over the hill
Came a brand new baby blue cadillac
Stop on a dime
I threw my guitar in the back and I climbed inside
Big blue eyes said hey boy dont you want a ride?
I said to birmingham, alabama,
Or to nashville tennessee will do just fine with me.
Dont you know what I mean?
Im coming from new orleans.
Now hey, [na na.]
Mama wont you let me ride?
Well now black fur coat, diamond ring
Shining like something I aint ever seen.
My old guitar and a roadside bar.
Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
There was a honky tonk jukebox, hardwood floor
She said I aint ever seen nothing like this before.
I said, thats all right, mama wont you let me ride?
On down to birmingham, alabama,
Or to nashville tennessee wiil do fine with me.
Dont you know what I mean?
Im coming from new orleans.
Now hey, [na na.]
Mama wont you let me ride?

Loaded Dice
By dickey betts and warren haynes
(c) 1990 cbs records, inc.
Transcribed by matt dickie
Pocket full of money
Got a big smile all on my face
Boy and I can charm the diamonds
Right off the back of a rattlesnake
But youve got me so confused
Cut me cold as ice
I aint used to losing
Guess Im playing with loaded dice
Well the first time that I saw you
Said youd just dumped your old man
Then the next time you was dealin
Must have dealt me a losing hand
Woman I tried to win your love
Just cant pay the price
Keep throwing in sevens
I keep on playing with loaded dice
Well I thought I was a hustler
But you sent me back to school
Keep playing some new game
Making up your own rules
Must be some kind of crazy
Let you fool me twice
I dont know why
I keep playing with loaded dice
Well, tonight I hit the jackpot
I was shining like a diamond ring
Lady luck was smiling
And the old snake charmer was doing his thing
You saw the tables turn
Man it sure felt nice
Now we see whos laughing
Now we see whos playing with the loaded dice
Girl you aint like nothing
Ive ever seen before
Keep throwing in aces
I keep coming back for more
Guess I should have listened
But you cant give a fool advice
Dont know why I keep playing with loaded dice.

Just Another Love Song
By dickey betts
(c) 1975 uichappell music inc. and f. r. betts music (bmi)
Transcribed by sam carle
Sit alone, waiting on the morning,
Woman leaving her whole life behind,
Train rolling on, taking mamas baby home,
Noone knows whats going through her mind,
Just another love song Im singing,
And you know people sing them all of the time,
Just another lonesome guitar ringing,
The only difference is this one is mine,
Freedom, lord what a funny word,
We search for it just like some kind of fool,
Woman leaving home, man sits there all alone,
Little child is paying all the dues

Dirty Job
Its a dirty job
But somebodys got to do it
Better get to it
Somebodys gotta do it
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Any work at all
Is better than none
Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done
Gotta earn my pay... I gotta earn my pay
I cant wait around on the lottery
And there aint no millionaires
Lookin for me
And somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebody
I can think of better things
Id rather do
I might get lucky
And Im hopin to
But until I do
I gotta compromise
The job aint much
But at least its mine
It beats standin
In the unemployment line
Put pride aside
And Ill improvise
Even if I do get a better job
Somebody else
Has gotta fill my spot
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebody
Somebody
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Its a dirty job
Its a low-down dirty job
Somebody
Even if the rules are too hard to follow
Even when pride is too hard to swallow
Its another day so its another dollar
Thats what its all about, oh
Its a dirty job
But somebodys got to do it
Better get to it
Somebodys gotta do it
Whatever it takes
Gotta keep the faith
Any work at all
Is better than none
Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done
Gotta earn my way
And its a workin day
The job aint much
But at least its mine
It beats standin
In the unemployment line
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it
Somebodys gotta do it, do it

Somebodys gotta do this low-down dirty job

Cant Take It With You
By dickey betts and don johnson
(c) 1979 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
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.

There Aint No Love
As we sit out on the back porch
And the night begins to show
It feels good just to be here and unwind
And the sun is slowly setting
A reflection in your eyes
And when you look my way
I have to say
The thought thats crossed my mind
Chorus:
And you know there aint no love
There aint no love like yours for me
And its plain my love
Youve been heaven sent made specially
There aint no love
There aint no love like yours for me
And well remain in love
With the kind of love
Most lovers never see
You always sit and listen
When I feel the need to talk
When Im feeling insecure and filled with doubt
Youve got the way to make me happy
And its right there in your smile
And love for me will always be what I cant do without
Repeat chorus
There aint no love like yours for me
And its plain my love
Youve been heaven sent made specially
There aint no love
There aint no love like yours for me
Well remain in love..

Hell High Water
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Weve been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as weve got a quarter between us all,
Were 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 were gonna make it down to tomorrow nights 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, weve seen the good times, weve 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 aint changed our ways, and I guess we never will.

I Got A Right To Be Wrong

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.

If You Never Got Sick
That aint a parachute
That aint a rip cord
That aint a body of water
Were headed for
Theres so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone
That aint a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting into your eyes
Its the invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive
Now I may not be quick
Maybe never was
But tell me what the hell it is
That youve become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldnt get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
This aint a righteous love
Even a good one
These aint the kinds of return
That I was thinking of
Im unbearable now
You aint seen nothing yet
Youll se me dead
Before you see me quit
That aint a jug of wine
That youve been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come
I will bury you in
Just to dig you out
I havent a use
For being proud
[chorus]
I followed you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep
Thats when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
Now I always knew
There was God inside you
I just never did learn which one
