When You Got Good Friends
(allen collins -- ronnie vanzant)
You got to love ol charlie daniels
You got to cut the rug with wet willie too
And you got to be a fan of the marshall tucker band
Before Ill sit down and have a drink with you
Yes, bakersfield has got ol merle haggard
Hes a bad, bad boy, yes indeed
Nashvilles got a million and one guitar pickers
But I guess my favorite would be the cdb
(chorus)
Yes theres a few good rockers in new york city
Guess the big la, it never cared for me
So wont you tell all them hollywierd writer people
That it just dont make a damn
When you got good friends like me
Never dick on good ol waylon jennings
Or willie nelson, bob wills or me
Well theyre playin that good ol country-western
You know this thing they call the texas swing

If You Dont Like Hank Williams
I dig bobby dylan and I dig johnny cash
And I think waylon jennings is a table thumpin smash

Trust
(allen collins -- gary rossington -- ronnie vanzant)
Id like to tell yall a story
About a friend of mine
Who liked to drink good whiskey, oh lord
And have a real good time
His woman, you know she left him
And stole that boys brand new car
And ran out of town with a guitar picker
Said he gonna be a superstar
Sure you are
(chorus)
You cant alway trust your woman
You cant always trust your best friend
Beware of the ones that you need yall
cause those might be the ones that do you in
Dont talk no stuff to no slicker
Dont tell your feelings to your friend
Dont tell your woman that you love her, because
Thats when your trouble begins
There are many ladies here among us
Thatll stab you in the back when you aint around
There are many, so many of your very best friends
Thatll kick you in the head when you are down
Yes they will
(chorus)
Dont you backtalk the police
cause its his job to put you in the jail
Theyll lock you up, boy and throw away the key
And your best friend wont even go your bail
There are many slickers here among us
That are all dressed up in suits and ties
But dont you show your pain, lord in front of them
cause if you do you kiss yourself goodbye, alright

I recall when I used to come home never had a dime
But lord I always had a good time
And I recall drinkin wine with one of my friends
Lord, I cant go back again
(chorus)
Am I losin my own way back home
Am I losin a good friend that Ive known
Am I losin wont you tell me how Ive sinned
Why am I losin one of my bets friends
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well
It goes to show lord you just cant tell
Now my friend wont talk to me let me tell you why
He thinks I ve changed because of a dollar sign
(chorus)
And its so strange when you get just a little money
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny
Theyll blame you
But Im not the one thats here to blame
Its you my friend thats really changed
Its a shame, such a shame
Am I losin once again
Why these things happen, lord I dont understand
But lord it can sure hurt a man
Why my friend wont take me as I am
cause your friend lord is the most important thing

The Critic
I always heard that his her was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!
Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.
Chorus:
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckel Rose
The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in
Chorus
Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes
I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high
Chorus
In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

Dont Ask Me No Questions
(gary rossington - ronnie vanzant)
Well everytime that I come home nobody wants to let me be
It seems that all the friends I got just got to come interrogate me
Well, I appreciate your feelings and I dont want to pass you by
But I dont ask you about your business, dont ask me about mine
Well its true I love the money and I love my brand new car
I like drinkin the best of whiskey and playing in a honky tonk bar
But when I come off the road, well I just got to have my time
cause I got to find a break in this action, else Im gonna lose my mind
(chorus)
So, dont ask me no questions
And I wont tell you no lies
So, dont ask me about my business
And I wont tell you goodbye
Thats right
Well, whats your favorite color and do you dig the brothers, is drivin me up a wall
And everytime I think I can sleep, some fool has got to call
Well dont you think that when I come home, I just want a little peace of mind
If you want to talk about the business buddy, youre just wastin time
(chorus)
I said dont ask no stupid questions and I wont send you away
If you want to talk fishin, well I guess thatll be ok

Good-hearted Woman
(waylon jennings, willie nelson)
A long time forgotten
Dreams that just fell by the way.
The good life he promised,
It aint what shes living today.
Shes never complaining
Of the bad times and the bad things hes done.
Lord, she just talks about the good times theyve had
And the good times to come.
Shes a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man.
She loves him in spite of his ways
That she dont understand.
Through teardrops and laughter
Theyll pass through this world hand in hand
A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
He likes the bright lights and night life
And good-timing friends.
When the partys all over
Shell welcome him back home again.
Kinky!
Lord knows she dont understand him
She does the best that she can,
This good-hearted woman
Loving a good-timing man.
Kinky, aw!
Shes a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man,
She loves me in spite of my wicked ways
She dont understand.
Through teardrops and laughter
Well pass through this world hand in hand,
A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
Shes a good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
She loves me in spite of my donald duck ways
She dont understand.

Through teardrops and laughter
Well pass through this world hand in hand

In love with a good-hearted man.

Down On The Corner
Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, theyre startin to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
You dont need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel wont ya lay your money down
Over on the corner theres a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Tell Me Whats So Good About Goodbye
(allen henson, keith palmer)
I thought love was meant to last forever
Isnt that how loves supposed to be
Now it seems the good times are all over
Its so funny I guess the jokes on me
Every day I sit alone and wonder
Why I fell in love so easily
And then woke up to find that all he left behind
Are tattered dreams and broken pieces in my memory
So tell me whats so good about goodbye
Whats so good about watching good love die
Hes the kind you cant forget
So I wont even try
Tell me whats so good
I gave him all I could
Tell me whats so good about goodbye
I dont think Ill ever love another
I didnt know that goodbye could hurt so bad
I know Ill always find hes somewhere in my mind
Still believe the worst of hims the best Ill ever have

Any Ole Love
I remember those good old days
When you first became my baby
Made me feel like a little girl
You changed my world
But something happened along the way
You started acting strange and kind of shady
Guess you think youve got me where you want
Trying to be so cool
Thinking Ill never leave you
Pre chorus
You want to have it your way
And you want to treat me badly
But I can do without your kind
Of love at night
I think Im gonna wait for the real thing
Chorus
Any old love
Your love just aint good enough
Any old love
Your love just aint good enough
Any ole love
Any ole love
Any ole love
Every day on the phone together
Telling me that our love was forever
Love like that was a mystery
Was all I need
But now it seems like the fires gone
Working too hard to keep this thing together
I dont want any kind of love
I think you should move on
Id rather be alone

Where a boy could make a livin playin guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away

To muhammed ali for twenty years of excitement and entertainment
They talk about their women too much
The women got em so confused
They dont talk about their lives as such
My life is all I got to lose
You take it with a grain of salt
And laugh at the complexities
Theyre good at pickin all the faults
I keep laughin so they dont pick me

Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Id never know if I was wrong or right
But thats just what you get
You got to go the distance
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
The telephone begins to ring
That could only be one call
I might as well be on the moon
Standin in the shower stall
Cant believe she picked it up
She didnt know the rules somehow
Then I hear her say hello (hello)
Panic in the grey room now
Chorus:
Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Shed kill me whether I was wrong or right
Thats just what you get
You got to go the distance
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
You never know until you try
Its hard to see the side youre on
Some people say Im halfway here
Some people say Im halfway gone

Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Id never know if I was wrong or right
But thats just what you get
