Whiskey Rock A Roller
(ed king - ronnie vanzant - billy powell)
Im headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin over my head I got 500 miles to ride
Im goin down to memphis town to play a latenight show
I hope the people are ready there cause the boys are all ready to go
(chorus)
Well, Im a whiskey rock-a-roller
Thats what I am
Women, whiskey and miles of travellin
Is all I understand
I was born a travellin man and my feets do burn the ground
I dont care for fancy music if your shoes cant shuffle around
I got a 100 women or more and theres no place I call home
The only time Im satisfied is when Im on the road
(chorus)
Sometimes I wonder where will we go
Lord dont take my whiskey, rock and roll
Take me down to memphis town, busdriver get me there
I got me a queenie she got longbrown curly hair
She likes to drink old grandad and her shoes do shuffle around
And everytime I see that gal
Lord she wants to take me down
(chorus)
Sometimes I wonder where will we go
Lord dont take my whiskey, rock and roll

Rock & Roll Time
By kris kristofferson, bob neuwirth and roger mcguinn
Do I look like a loser?
Do I stand in your way?
A threat to your future
You planned yesterday
Well, I fought for my freedom
Some called it a crime
Convicted of running
On rock and roll time
Chorus:
I said rock and roll time
Please take me away
To the whiskey and wine
Of some better day
And if sometimes it seems
Im falling behind
Remember Im running
On rock and roll time
Im judged in your airports
Each time that I fly
Ive been locked in your jailhouse
Oh, but Im getting by
Just hoping that heaven
Is happy and high
And everyones running
On rock and roll time
Chorus:
I said rock and roll time
Please take me away
To the whiskey and wine
Of some better day
And if sometimes it seems
Im falling behind
Remember Im running
On rock and roll time

Birth Of Rock & Roll
Carl and greg perkins
Well nashville had country music but memphis had the soul
Lord, the white boy had the rhythm and that started rock and roll
And I was here when it happened dont you all think I ought to know
I was here when it happened, yeah, yeah, yeah
I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll, lord, lord yeah.
Well the cat named elvis be-bopped in to sun right off the street
Sang blue moon of oky but he did it with a brand new beat
Guess he sought him a sleeping world and out there by surprise
Jack em up, you rang them out and he hung em out to dry
I was there when it happened, dont you all think I ought to know, lord, lord
Yeah I was here when it happened I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
Heres kinda the way it happened
Well the drummer boy was the beatin on the drums a rockin and a goin wild
The real city slicker was clickin and clackin and doin it in a different style
Hit car strumming a beat and a pumpin and the lead man picking out the blues
Hip-shaking singer was a swinging and a swinging saying some style blue suede shoes
And I was here when it happened, lord I think I ought to know, yeah, yeah
Folks I was here when it happened I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
What you think about it little guitar cmon son
Some folks called it the devils music others said it wouldnt last long
31 years since we started shakin proves somebody was wrong
The 64s, the beatles and the four were rock and rolls best friends
The beatles and the stones brought the old beat home
And world went crazy again I was here when it happened
My friend I think I ought to know, yeah , yeah
Well I was there when it happened
I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
Lord yeah, cmon

Whiskey Girls
Long hair, flashing eyes
The kind of hips that make you fantasize
A slow smile, just meant to tease
One look and youll be weak at the knees
They got my head in a whirl
cos I cant get enough of those whiskey girls
They got the world at their fingertips
With just a look and lick of the lips
They understand the rhythm of the night
Im in a daze, I dont know wrong from right
They got my head in a whirl
cos I cant get enough of those whiskey girls
Chorus
Hypnotised - by the whiskey girls
Compromised - out of this world
Lord above, could this be love
Aint no doubt about it
Im crazy about the whiskey girls
Whiskey girls are out on the town
Theyll break your heart, theyll bring you down
Whiskey girls are out of control
For just one touch youd sell your soul
The moon is high Im getting out of the line
Whishful thinking with a one track mind
Im having flashes, oh cant you see
Theyre walking through my private fantasy
Wearing only a necklace of pearls
Those slow walking, long-legged whiskey girls
Chorus twice

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

God Gave Rock n Roll To You Ii
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? you dont know for sure
You dont feel right, you cant find a cure
And youre gettin less than what youre lookin for
You dont have money or a fancy car
And youre tired of wishin on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you wont get far
Cause its never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you dont start livin till you realize - I gotta tell ya!
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

I know life sometimes can get tough! and I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that roads name is... rock and roll!

The Whiskey Ain't Workin'
There was a time
I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches
That hurt me night and day
When the thought of you
Came crashin' through
I'd have one more
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
CHORUS:
I need one good honky-tonk angel
To turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down
A woman warm and willin'
That's what I'm lookin' for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
They knew my name
At every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons
Why I was comin' 'round
'Cause in my mind
Peace I'd find
When they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
REPEAT CHORUS
Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure!

Then theres a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee - youre coming with me

I was knocked out by those friendly people
They all said howdy, howdy, come on in
We dont know the meaning of the word outsider
I said people, you gonna play this kinda music
Well theres something I would surely like to know
When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music
And I think they called it, oh, rock and roll
Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?
They said son, its just a feeling, way down in your soul
Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll
Yeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and roll
But Ill tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy
And thats all you need to know about rock and roll
Well you could not imagine the shape my head was in
I took me a walk down by the mississippi
When I heard this rockin out of the harbour inn
I couldnt resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listen

Well, its only rock and roll keep you running from yourself
When the only way to slow down is to fall
And its only rock and roll that caused you to leave home
When the only way to get back is to crawl

Change your name to money dress up fit to kill

Yes and its only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time
When you really ought to sit this one out
And its only rock and roll keep on messin with your mind when

And your loves on the back of the bus
And its only rock and roll when your records start to sell
And you dont know why theyre making such a fuss

Dont Tell Mama
(kim williams/jerry laseter/buddy brock)
I was headed north on highway five
On a star-lit sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control
As I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back right
He never hit the brakes
As he left the road
I found him lying in the grass
Among the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
And through the blood and tears
He whispered in my ear
A few last words just before he died
Dont tell mama I was drinkin
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I cant leave this world with mama thinkin
I met the lord with whiskey on my breath
I still think about that night
And how that young man died
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mind
As he left this world behind
Was knowing someone elses heart would break
Dont tell mama I was drinkin
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I cant leave this world with mama thinkin
I met the lord with whiskey on my breath
Dont tell mama I was drinkin
