Sweet Revenge
I got kicked off noahs ark
I turn my cheek to unkind remarks
There was two of everything
But one of me
And when the rains came tumbling down
I held my breath and I stood my ground
And I watched that ship go sailing
Out to sea.
Chorus:
Take it back
Take it back
Oh no, you cant say that
All of my friends
Are not dead or in jail
Through rock and through stone
The black wind still moans
Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Without fail.
I caught an aisle seat on a plane
And drove an english teacher half insane
Making up jokes about bicycle spokes
And red balloons
So I called up my local deejay
And he didnt have a lot to say
But the radio
Has learned all of my favorite tunes.
Chorus:
The white meat is on the run
And the dark meat is far too done
And the milkman left me a note yesterday
Get out of this town by noon
Youre coming on way too soon
And besides that
We never liked you any way.
Chorus:

Oh No Not My Baby
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didnt believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had faith in you
I just kept on saying.
Chorus 1:
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies.
My mama told me when rumors spread
Theres truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didnt listen to a word she said
I kept right on saying.
Chorus 2:
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys.
Well you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didnt mean a thing
Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
Now Im glad that I kept on saying.
Chorus 3:
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
Oh no not my baby

No no no no not my sweet baby
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby

Don't Get Lost In Heaven
Got off a plane to the countryside,
I drove to the mountain and holding the ground
There was crack on the corner and someone dead,
and fire coming out of the monkey's head
Chorus:
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
you'll make a big mistake
Put me in a cab to suburbia
I just took a line but I wasn't with you
There was more of it there, when I got back home
But you had left me,you don't know my soul...
You're a whole bad mistake,yeah,you're a whole one...

Aaaah...

Youre Insane
(r. stewart / p.chen)
You must be crazy or half insane
Look at your eyeballs, street cocaine
You drink that white rum, you hit the roof
What do you expect, one-five-one proof
You drive your mustang down sunset strip
And in the back seat, a big black whip
Look at your lipstick, all round your face
Everything you do is in bad taste
Chorus:
Baby I think youre cute
But theres no substitute for love
Honey its a crying shame
This whole mad town thinks youre insane
You take me dancing but I cant dance
But when I try to, you start to laugh
You shake your hips child like a rattle snake
You make me jealous make no mistake
You went to woodstock and all that trash
Your generation is fading fast
You wear them hot pants, theyre out of style
You like brown sugar, I think its vile
(chorus)
One of these nights child, it wont be long
Somebody somewhere whos big and strong
In a dark alley, a blood stained coat
Hell stick his long thing right down your throat
(chorus)
Lord have mercy
Hey baby, I think youre insane baby
You got no brain, youre insane
Tell me baby, can you play harp
Can you play bass
Can you play guitar
Can you play drum
Then youre insane

Half-breed
My father married a pure cherokee
My mothers people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me indian squaw
Chorus:
Half-breed, thats all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, shes no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When youre not welcome you dont hang around
The other children always laughed at me
Give her a feather, shes a cherokee
Chorus
We werent accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me whos to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I cant run away from what I am

Back When - Tim McGraw
Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper,
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two, and four.
A fried bologna (boloney) sandwich,
With mayo and tomato,
Sittin' 'round the table
Don't happen much anymore.
We got too complicated,
It's all way overrated,
I like the old-and-out-dated,
Way of life
(chorus)
Back when a hoe was a hoe,
A coke was a coke,
And crack's what you were doin'
When you were crackin' jokes.
Back when a screw was a screw.,
The wind was all that blew,
And when you said, 'I'm down with that, '
Well, it meant you had the flu.
I miss back when,
I miss back when,
I miss back when.
I love my records,
Black, shiny vinyl,
Clicks, and pops, and white noise,
Man, they sounded fine.
I had my favorite stations,
The ones that played them all,
Country, soul, and rock-and-roll,
What happened to those times?
I'm readin' Street Slang for Dummies,
'Cause they put pop in my country,
I want more for my money,
The way it was back then.
(chorus)
Give me a flat top for strummin',
I want the whole world hummin',
Just keep it comin',
The way it was back then.
(chorus)
I miss back when,
I miss back when.

Conductor Of Souls
I boarded the train at the rush hour peak.
like hundreds of others at. the end of the week.
Darkness came quickly at this time of year
It was Pearl Harbor day and Christmas was near.
Dark was my skin and dark was my heart
and dark was the drama in which I’d play my part
In a brown paper page I carried my gun
with enough ammunition to kill the white ones.
Out near Merillon Station, I stood up from my seat.
Whites had ruined my life and revenge would be sweet.
Like a deadly conductor I walked down the aisle
punching everyone’s ticket, high caliber style.
Their screams were my music, their fear was my meat
I served it up raw with blood on the seat.
It took three to subdue me once I emptied my gun
If they hadn’t overwhelmed me I’d have killed everyone.
Six dead, nineteen wounded, some trampled they say.
as the whites in the car started running away.
I sit here in prison with no hope of parole
in this place I am known as the conductor of souls

Its A Killer
(g. rossington, j.& d. van zant, e. king)
Theres a rumour goin round on the backside of town
Jake is out to get some revenge
Has fire in his eyes since his brother died
Shot down by a so-called friend
For a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say
Drugs had control of his life
Caught up on crack youre tryin to think back
The devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyes
Its a killer
Theres a cold house at the corner of the street
The kids come and go there at night
Jerry drove up in front of the house
Somebody pulled out a knife
Jerry freaked out and went for his gun
Shot him right between the eyes
All he ever wanted was a twenty dollar high
But now hes locked up for the rest of his life
(chorus)
Its a killer theres no way out baby once your in
Its a killer steal from your family
Then youll turn on your friends
Its a killer it can happen to you
So dont you never, never give in
Its a killer
The neighborhood I used to call home
These days its lookin like a war zone
Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives
Money just keeps changin hands
The laws are gettin tough sometimes its not enough
To satisfy supply and demand
Trouble breaks out theres fightin in the streets
Bullets flyin all around
An innocent child caught in the line of fire
All because there werent enough drugs to go around
(repeat chorus)

Steamy Windows
I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
Our systems going overload
The radio blasting in the front seat
Churning out the music fine
And we was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Chorus
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine with the men all night
With good intent
But theres something about the confrontation on the back road
Breaks down the defense
Chorus
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Aint nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Theres a sound outside the front door
And I know thats just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
Starts things happening again

South Of Eden
1) nowhere to go on this hot afternoon turn on the fan lay down in my room
I cant believe in this town Im still here
No lover in sight, the mirage disapppears
Turn down the misic turn down the bed
Cause the drink I had this morning, went straight to my head, and I feel like a dream
Chorus -
Baby Im a real steal half price looking for a deal ?
Im golden all around, golden all around
2) in the middle of infinity in the heart of your eyes
I see 100 angels living 100 lives
In the dark of the night when youre alone in your bed
Do you ever think of me, am I a ghost in your head
Chorus -
Cause...baby
Golden all around golden all around-]
Bridge - round, all around, all around
3) found a park in the middle of town flat on my back no one around
The sky grew dark and the sun disappeared and down came rain of sweet lovers tears
Hitched a ride south of eden with a dog dusty and beaten
Speed so fast spinning in my head, and he turned to me and said...

...he said, baby Im a real steal
Half price looking for a deal
Im golden all around, golden all around...2x

The Rattling Boy from Dublin
I'm a rattling boy from Dublin town,
I courted a girl called Biddy Brown,
Her eyes they were as black as sloes,
She had black hair and an aquiline nose.
Chorus --
Whack fal de da, fal de darelido,
Whack fal de da, fal de darelay,
Whack fal de da, fal de darelido,
Whack fal de da, fal de darelay.
One night I met her with another lad,
Says I, Biddy, I've caught you, by dad,
I never thought you were half so bad
As to be going about with another lad.
Chorus
Says I, Biddy, this will never do,
For to-night you've prov'd to me untrue,
So do not make a hullaballoo,
For I will bid farewell to you.
Chorus
Says Barney Magee, She is my lass,
And the man that says no, he is an ass,
So come away, and I'll give you a glass,
Och, sure you can get another lass.
Chorus
Says I, To the devil with your glass,
You have taken from me my darling lass,
And if you look angry, or offer to frown,
With my darling shillelah I'll knock you down.
Chorus
Says Barney Magee unto me,
By the hokey I love Biddy Brown,
And before I'll give her up to thee,
One or both of us will go down.
Chorus
So, with my darling shillelah, I gave him a whack,
Which left him lying on his back,
Saying, botheration to you and Biddy Brown,--
For I'm the rattling boy from Dublin town.
Chorus
So a policeman chanced to come up at the time,
And he asked of me the cause of the shine,
Says I, he threatened to knock me down
When I challenged him for walking with my Biddy Brown.
Chorus
So the policeman took Barney Magee to jail,
Which made him shout and bewail
That ever he met with Biddy Brown,
The greatest deceiver in Dublin town.
Chorus
So I bade farewell to Biddy Brown,
The greatest jilter in Dublin town,
Because she proved untrue to me,
And was going about with Barney Magee.

I Cant Believe Its Over
We should talk
Thats what you said to me
On the beach
You know the place will be
So here we sit
Together in the sand
I hear you saying
You hope Ill understand
The love you used to feel
You say its not the same
When I reach for you
You just turn away, oh baby

I cant believe its over
I cant believe youre breaking my heart
I cant believe its over
Ooh, baby
I cant believe its over
(I cant believe, I cant believe that youre gone)
Its over

Like a wave
Youre drifting out to sea
What can I do girl
To bring you back to me
There must be
Something I can say (something I can say)
To change your mind
To make you want to stay
Now youre tellin me
You found somebody new
You wanna be with him
And that hes good to you
Oh my baby

I watch you walk away
Disappearing in the dark
Youre not coming back
And its tearing me apart
I said its tearing me apart

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.

Put your money where your mouth was

Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
Youre so lovable
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
Youre so lovable

Youre so honest

But I wont promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me

Since you are the one to blame

Well I guess I should be satisfied cause you say you love me half the time
Well Ill settle there, we can build from there, build from there
Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am

If I Didnt Have You
Verse 1
Well I lost my heart on the day we met
But I gained a lot that I dont regret
Then I hung around till you said I do
I knew I wouldnt have nothin
If I didnt have you
Verse 2
Well it changed my thinking
When you changed your name
And neither one of us will ever be the same
And I swear Im never gonna be untrue
cause I wouldnt have nothin
If I didnt have you
Chorus
If I didnt have you Id long ago
Been left in the dark out in the cold
Blowing around from town to town
Like a feather in the wind
If I didnt have you I know Id be
Floundering around like a ship at sea
Lost in the rain of a hurricane
Thats where Id have been
Verse 3
But I didnt get lost cause I saw your light
Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night
And the sun came up and the skies turned blue
No I wouldnt have nothing
If I didnt have you
Verse 4
Well I count my blessings every night I pray
That the lord lets me keep you just one more day
And every day he does cause God knows too

If I didnt have you
