Well pretty little one
How has it all begun?
They're teaching you how to walk
But you're already on the run
Little one-
Well what you gonna do?
Little one-
Honey, it's all up to you
Now your daddy's in the den he’s shootin' up the evening news
Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused
Little one-
Come on and take my hand
Well I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan
Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
And see if we can't get in touch with a very close friend of mine
But let me clue you in, it ain't like him
To argue or pretend-
Well honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
Well they've got a little list of all those things of which they don't approve
They've got to keep their eyes on you or you might make your move
Little one-
I really wish you would
Little one-
Well I think the damage would do you good
Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
We're going to forget all about the battle
It's gonna feel so fine
'Cause he's the missing link, the kitchen sink-
Eleven on a scale of ten
Well honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
Come on
Well honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
I'm going to try to swing you up into my saddle
And then we'll run but you'll think we're flyin'
Now honey don't just stand there
Lookin' like this dream will never end
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
Well I said honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Harvest

Did I see you down
in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
Well, I was almost there
At the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rain
Did she wake you up
To tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Did I see you walking with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face
In a lonely place
When you could understand?
Now did she wake you up
Just to tell you that
It was only a change of plans?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Will I see you give
More than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
And as the days fly past
Will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?
Did she wake you up
Just to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Awwww dream up, dream up!
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Well you know that ghost ain't me
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the old drugstore sells
And when you reach the part where the heartaches come
And the hero would be me
Aww, but heroes often fail
But you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
And I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Oh, enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love let's be real
I never knew I'd feel this way
And I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale all my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishin' well
Or a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends
If you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
Oh, the feeling that you left
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read your mind, love mmh

Bankrobber

One, two, one, two
One, two!
Well my daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
Why he just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Well some are rich, and some are poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in laying back
And sayin' how bad your luck is
So we came to jazz it up
We never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn our pay
And don't forget to grovel
When the old man spoke up in a bar
He said I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison
Well imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
While we're here being clever
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
Cus that's where we're spinning
There's no point man in combing your hair
When it's all grey and thinning
Well my daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
Why he just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Well he loved to steal your money
Well he loved to steal your money

She's A Heartbreaker
03:22
|

|
She used to drive a beat-up pickup
Down around San Anton'
Stealin' the heart of every guy in town
Includin' the one I own
But this sweet young thing of seventeen
Would sting you with the lovesick blues
Just a blonde haired, blue-eyed picture of sin
Lookin' for someone to use
Well she's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break your heart and take all the love she needs
Alright
Well I heard she got down in Beaumont
She wound up in El Paso
She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the cotton eyed Joe
Well if you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
Cause far too long she'll be good as gone
And runnin' with another man
Well she's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
Well she's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break your heart and take all the love she needs
Well she's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break your heart and take all the love she needs

Country Comfort
04:59
|

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Little children fight each other for a share
And the 609 goes roaring past the creek
Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
Well I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Man she's really going fine for eighty-four
Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn
Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going home
Well down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"Yeah, but that ain't natural" or so old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound, my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going back home
Yes, it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound, my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going back home
Now the old fat goose is flying 'cross the states
That old hog's stuck in the glade between the bricks
At the rockin' chair's been creaking on my porch
Across the valley see a farmer with his torch
Yes it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound, my ears have ever known
Well, just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going home
Well, country comfort's in a truck that's going back home
Yeah, country comforts in a truck that's going back home

She Does It Right
02:48

If there's anything that I like
It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something I like better
It's the way she baby talks
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight
I said you ought to see her jerk
You ought to see her walk the floor
And when she gets back to her seat
Mmh the people cry for more
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight
I said I'd give her anything
That her little heart desires
Anything that she wants
Oh, just to keep her by my side satisfied
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight (yeahhh)
And if there's something that I like
It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something I like better
It's the way she baby talks
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight
C'mon, awww
She does it right
She does it right
She does it right
She does it right

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
Cause when you're standing oh so near
See I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not those ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

And talking in yo sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
Just as long as it was deep, yeah
Well I always knew you very well
And you look so fancy that I coul tell
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
Well I guess you're just what I needed
I needed someone to please
Well I guess you're just what I needed

Well I guess you're just what I needed

New Jersey Turnpikes
Ridin' on a wet night
'Neath the refinery's glow
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
About the things that I done
Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
Been botherin' me my whole life
Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
In the wee wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Wanna lead me to my baby
The radio's jammed up
With talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk
Till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me (Yeah)
Hey!
somebody out there,
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver
Deliver me from nowhere
