Flashback Blues
While window shopping through the past
I ran across a looking glass
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
Tragic magic prayers of passion
Stay the same through changing fashions
They freeze my mind like water on a winters night
Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye nonbeliever
Dont you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
Photographs show the laughs
Recorded in between the bad times
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
Well, sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.
Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
And ten times what it grieves you
Thats how much more I hate to leave you now
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye nonbeliever
Dont you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.

Dancing Shoes
Could have been a long hot summer night
When all the stars were shining bright
Against the blue
Could have been that famous decade scene
Top hats and tails, spinning round the room
And all I remember is not wanting the music to end
And all I remember is feeling a need that I could not hide
Dont take away those dancing shoes
Dont take away those dancing shoes
Dont take away that boys dancing shoes
And ever since that very night
I found me a guiding light, light the way
To turn off the music is to turn off the light in my soul
So just let it shine mister
One more time for me and my babe
Dont take away those dancing shoes
Without the rhythm you got the blues
Dont take away those dancing shoes
Dont take away that boys dancing shoes

Blues Before Sunrise
(by leroy carr)
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes.
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes.
It was a miserable feeling, now babe, a feeling I do despise.
I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong.
I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong.
Im gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up my happy home.
I have to leave, leave you baby, Im gonna leave you all alone.
Im gonna leave you baby, Im gonna leave you all alone.
Im gonna pack up and leave you darling because you know you done me wrong.
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, Ill see you on some rainy day.
Well now goodbye baby, Ill see you on some rainy day.
You can go ahead now little darling, cause I want you to have your way.

At Least We Tried (feat. Freedom Bremner)
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried
at least we tried to make it
but in these days I'm so confused
oh my love, at least we had it
let me hold on to you
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried
at least we tried but we lost it

how you stood there and you smiling
and you smile there with me

Don't Say Goodbye
Don't say, goodbye!
Or sigh up alibis...
To leave me miffed,
And teary eyed.
'Cause,
You've got my heart.
You've got my mind.
Emotionally...
There is no peace I can find!
'Cause,
Most of the time,
I feel entrapped and confined.
Without a bit of self defense.
None that comes that makes to me any sense.
'Cause,
I had believed...
You were as happy as me.
But I see you desire to leave,
Me hurting deeply and permanently!
Don't say,
Goodbye!
Don't patronize me with lies sighed!
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
And I can't believe all you did was deceive.
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
But...
Don't say, goodbye!
Or sigh up alibis...
To leave me miffed,
And teary eyed.
'Cause,
You've got my heart.
You've got my mind.
Emotionally...
There is no peace I can find!
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
But...
Don't say,
Goodbye!
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
But...
Don't say,
Goodbye!
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
But...
Don't say,
Goodbye!

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo
I thought that you would be
A little different when it came to lovin me
Now, I see I was living a dream
cause all I do is cry
And kiss your love goodbye
Got a bad case of the blues
Its what I get from lovin you
Such a bad case of the blues
Its what I get from lovin you-oo-oo-oo
I thought that I would never see
How it feels to live a life of misery
I dont have anything to look forward to
But miss the love Ive lost
And pay the losers cost
Got a bad case of the blues

Such a bad case of the blues

And kiss your love goodbye, hey

Desert Blues
Cant get no this,
And I cant get no that,
Cant get no you know,
I dont even know where its at.
Aint got the smoke and uh, aint no booze,
Got them low down dried out desert blues, yes I do.
Um, a george carlin said I had to go,
Just what he wanted I did not know,
Im over here dug in so far from home,
Lookin all around try and see whats going on.
I got the sand in my collar,
Got the sand in my hair,
Got it in my pockets,
Got it everywhere.
I got sand in my shirt,
Got it in my shoes,
Got them low down dried out desert blues, yes I do, how how how.
Joined up in the army
Where it was hard to find,
End up over here, got my ass on the line,
But Ill be right here until my work is done,
If I get back home I hope I never see no more guns.
Here across the ocean,
I left some of my good friends behind,
I hope somebodys thinking about me,
Especially that sweet little woman of mine.
Cant get no this,
And I cant get no that,
Cant get no you know,
I dont even know where its at.
Sand in my collar,
Got the sand in my hair,
Got it in my pockets,
Got it everywhere.
I got sand in my shirt,
Got it in my shoes,
Got them low down dried out desert blues,
Yes I do.

Dont Think Twice, Its Alright
Well it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter anyhow
And it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travelling on
Dont think twice its all right
Well it aint no use in turning on your light, babe
Light Ive never known
Aint no use in turning on the light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Wish there was something you could do or say
Something to make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Dont think twice, its all right
And it aint no use in calling out my name, gal
Like youve never done before
It aint no use in calling out my name, gal
I cant hear you anymore
Im thinking and a wondering, walking down that road
I once loved a woman - a child Im told
Gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Dont think twice, its all right
So long, honey-babe
Where i'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
Ill just say, fare thee well
I aint saying you treated me unkind
You couldve done better, but I dont mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
Dont think twice, its all right

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem
I've been up to my neck workin 6 days a week
wearin holes into the shoes on my feet
been dreamin of gettin away since i dont know
Aint no better time than now..for mexico
No shoes, No shirt, No problems
Blues what blues..hey i forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shirt, no shirt, and no problems!
No problems
Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea

Want to soak up life for a while
In laid back mode
No boss, no polite, no stress, no dress code
No shoes, no shirt, no problems

The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shoes, no shirt, and no problems
Babe lets get packed..tank tops and flip flops if u got them
No shoes, no shirt, no problems

Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye)
(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)
Shed wake us up early every mornin
Shed help us say our prayers every night
She was always there to help us through the hard times
We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin on the front porch
Papa said theres somethin I need to say tonight
Mamas been sick for a long time
Lets pray to God she can make it through the night
(chorus)
Mama dont wanna say goodbye
She said wipe those tears from your eyes
Mama I dont wanna say goodbye
It was written in the heavens and the skies above
Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
I cant think of this life without you its hard to try
Mama Im afraid to say goodbye
Now kids Ive been hangin on a long time
I hate to leave this world before your grown
Remember everything that Ive taught you
Remember all the good times when Im gone
(repeat chorus)
She whispered in my ear before she passed away
Son its time to be a man aint nothin left to say
Jesus walked on water I know its true
When it comes time hell call you home
I hope your ready too

So dont go tryin to change me baby

So many people try to bring me down
They wouldnt last a second in my town

Hey I little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose
I said Hey Ive always been a blues man

Dont try walkin inside my shoes tonight
You stem so far from the truth
You hide inside all your talkin papers
Flashin statements
You never put your money down
And watched a big wheel go around and take it
And in remake it
All you do is follow me around
Then you go ahead and ride it down
REPEAT CHORUS
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose
I said dont try walkin inside my shoes baby baby

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too; (doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too. yeah!

Talkin blues (talkin blues);
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Talkin blues (talkin blues), talkin blues (talkin blues):
Your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Yeah, Ive been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw; (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Ive been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw. (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
But-a I - Im gonna stare in the sun,
Let the rays shine in my eyes.
I - Im a gonna take a just-a one step more
cause I feel like bombin a church -
Now - now that you know that the preacher is lyin.
So whos gonna stay at home
When - when the freedom fighters are fighting?
Talkin blues (talkin blues), talkin blues (talkin blues):
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, woe-oh-oh-oh!
Talkin blues (talkin blues), keep on talkin blues (talkin blues);
They say - you hear what they say -
Didnt you hear?
Cold ground was my bed (bed last night),
Rockstone - rockstone - rockstone was my pillow;
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night),
And rock was my pillow, too.
Sayin: (talkin blues, talkin blues):

Talkin blues (talkin blues), talkin blues (talkin blues):

Sad to say goodbye
Ever since the moment we’ve been together,
I’d promise to my self I would love you forever…
We’ll share our pains and laughter,
And we’ll live together ever after…
But parting time has come,
I have to leave and I will be gone…
Bearing pains and tears we can’t shun,
For I have to go back where I came from…
You know it’s sad to say goodbye,
It’s tearing my heart, so please don’t cry…
Babe, it’s really sad to say goodbye,
But I have to go, and the growing pain I can’t deny…
It’s sad to say goodbye to you,
But babe, I really have to go…
Even though I really love you,
I have to say goodbye and leave you…
It’s sad to say goodbye to you,
But there’s one thing I can promise you…
Please darling believe me for it’s true
That loving you forever I will do…

Miss Blue
Could you stay long enough for me to say goodbye
You can be free as long as you're with me
If you could see the real me you'd bleed
If you could see the real me I'd breathe
Could you still Breathe long enough for me
Could you still be long enough for me
[Chorus:]
When do you think I'll be okay
When do you think I'll be okay
If I should stay when do I pray
If I should stay where do I begin
Do you think I should watch you die
Should we close our eyes and say goodbye
[Chorus]
Hey you Miss Blue
You think that I'm well to do
Hey you Miss Blue
I feel in love with you
Hey you Miss Blue
I think about you as true
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you cry
Hey you Miss Blue

Dont Leave Me Alone
Nows not the time to say goodbye
And Im not the kind to question why
Well I dont feel very well, and its getting cold as hell
It wont be the same, cant you tell?
Dont leave me alone
Dont leave me on my own
Im so afraid
Why cant you stay?
Just dont leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
Doing the things I should have known
Only to reap what I have sown
Jesus, please
Dont leave me alone
Dont leave me on my own
Im on my knees
Forgive me please
Just dont leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?

No, no, no i, I never can say goodbye
Every time I think Ive had enough
And start heading for the door
Theres a very strange vibration
Kissing me right to the core or pericing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool,
You know you love him more

Look to the sky above and the mud below
Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Without a doubt, Im telling you Im burnt out

Woah! I need fuel cause Im getting so low
Something drives me crazy, got to, got to get away

Since youve been around

You treat me like a dirty clown
Youre always kickin my dog around
I never get nothin but constant abuse from you
You couldnt care less what I think, or my point of view
Youre always puttin the make on my friends, always giving
Them eyes and the dirty lies bout me and you, well im
Through, its the end of the line for you babe, heres a
Ticket one way cincinnati, Im sendin you home to your ma
And your daddy, so dont try to call me, youll only be wastin your

Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away

Ooooo babe,
Dont leave me now.
Dont say its the end of the road.
Remember the flowers I sent.
I need you, babe,
To put through the shredder in front of my friends.
Oh babe,
Dont leave me now.
How could you go?
When you know how I need you,
To beat to a pulp on a saturday night.

Running away.
