It won't be long Until I get my money back Come hell or high water Stroke or heart attack It won't be long Until I can hold a dime I'm gonna squeeze on to that dime so hard Make ten pennies form a line It won't be long Until my train roll down that track When my boot steps up on the platform Make the hair stand up on box car cat It won't be long Until I get my money back When I do, I'm gonna buy me a ticket to your town, baby Line your pockets with my stack

Cold Woman 03:25
Woman got her mind on the money Man got his mind on the show Woman got her heart on a diamond Man got his boots by the door Woman got her heart in the city Man got his heart on the town Woman got her head way up in the clouds Man got his feet on the ground Cold woman got to run on What is a man to do? Cold woman got to run on Man got his run on too Man got a gig in the evening Woman wants a new pair of shoes Lady walkin' around in a new suit talkin' about them same old blues Man got a coat in his wallet Woman hides a lie in her purse Man shakes a leg while the woman steppin' out Don't know which one worse Cold woman got to run on What is a man to do? Cold woman got to run on Man got his run on too

Hey bartender Give me a beer And a bottle of whiskey You better leave it here And if drinkin' don't work I know what I've got to do Got to go out tonight And get me a shot of blues You see I work real hard But I'm still broke And it won't be long Until I reach the end of my rope But right this minute I'm just glad this long week is through So tonight I'm going out and get me a shot of blues See my good girl quit me And left me all alone It ain't no use in me sittin' Cryin' at home Because one of these days She's going to be sorry too For now I'm goin' out Get me a shot of blues When I get downhearted There's one thing that I find That keeps me sane And eases my worried mind I got my music That's something I can never lose So tonight I'm goin' out And get me a shot of blues

Iced Tea 05:38
Woke up limpin' but I took off runnin' Out of Memphis, Tennessee Mojo hand got the worst of you But it got the best of me The red head at Tater Reds Said it's the way it's got to be Drink your drink and pat your feet But they clear the streets at three Bet your hand or roll your dice To guess the trouble I'll get in There's all that's fair in love and war And I don't know where to begin Now it appears the custom here Is to kiss you on your head To fry some fish and cook some greens To keep the family fed Now I'm a man who drinks and smokes And has his healthy needs But not a peach in all the south Was as sweet as her iced tea Now I declare it's in the air Or in the water I suppose And me and Shane, we don't complain About the rain or the cold Handsome G may disagree Where to eat our barbecue But in kind there's peace of mind To know the flavor of the blues Whiskey jars and side street bars And colors you can't see But every night I often wake With dreams of Tennessee

Would you want to get out of here If I said I'd treat you right? I can be a gentleman Or any kind of lover you like I got no plans and no where to go I got few friends and no where to call home But don't be surprised if I can't always toe the line This burden of mine is just too heavy a load If it weren't for these blues maybe I could open my arms wide Would I be surprised to find love? I may look like a vagabond That don't mean that I ain't nice I've turned my back on some hard times And I ain't one to turn around twice I got no plans and no where to go I could use a friend and some place to call home But don't be surprised if I can't always toe the line This burden of mine is just too heavy a load If it weren't for these blues maybe I could open my arms wide Would I be surprised to find love? Would you want to get out of here? Ain't no need to argue what's right You lend a hand to the common man 'Cause I ain't got a lie I can buy I got no plans and no where to go Where the road bends, that's what I call home But don't be surprised if I can't always toe the line This burden of mine is just too heavy a load If it weren't for these blues maybe I could open my arms wide Would I be surprised to find love?

It was late at night I heard my hound dog bark There was something movin' Out in the dark I got out of bed And I grabbed my gun If you want to live Then you better run Then from yonder trees Came a flash of light Lit up the sky Turned to day from night Well then I saw her It was like a dream The most beautiful woman That I'd ever seen Then she walked up to me Took me by the hand Said, "I come for you I want you for my man." Woke in the morning All alone in my bed No beautiful woman Just a pain in my head Must have been the drinkin' Might have been the wine Could have been the beer I think it was the 'shine But every night I listen And look to yonder trees I pray that beautiful woman She comes back to me

Have you got love but your man don't want it? Baby, that's called the blues Well I know all about that one-sided lovin' 'Cause baby, I got it too Have you got something, but it feels like nothing? Well baby, that's a shame for you You just need to try on my kind of lovin' Tell me what it do for you Do you want a fire, but you can't get it burnin'? When just a little spark will do The match I strike it'll burn all night Let me light it up for you Have you got love well baby I want it If it's alright with you Just hold on tight 'cause you know I'm comin' for you We can rock away the blues

Easy come and easy go Take your time and take it slow I'm a victim of a crime Bidin' money and killin' time When the train pulls in the station Need some salvation in my mind All my time and all my fault Take the day with a grain of salt In the future, thinkin' 'bout the past Heart made of stone, broke just like glass When the train pulls in the station Need some salvation in my mind

Young Man 04:24
Young man, you better leave this one alone 'Cause that woman ain't nothing but trouble, and evil to the bone I saw that woman on the street the other day Had a proud man in her hand You could tell how well she was doing It was written all over his grin But on that street this morning Here she come again That satisfied smile Was ear to ear on a different man Young man, you better leave this one alone 'Cause that woman ain't nothing but trouble, and evil to the bone She'll wind it tight on a Thursday night Turn you loose when Sunday comes Your money's running low but you can't say no When she wants to get her weekend on But on that street this morning She got you on the run You're trying to make ends meet While another man is having your fun Ain't no good loving in her Better off on your own You can take it from a poor man Couldn't just let her go Young man, you better leave this one alone 'Cause that woman ain't nothing but trouble, and evil to the bone

Blue Eyes 02:29
Hey there pretty mama You know I see you over there With ruby red lips and shiny golden hair, but you got Blue eyes Yeah, you got sad blue eyes What's the matter, darlin' Tell Dr. Tom what's on your mind You got a spring in your step The way you shake those hips You're drivin' me mad With the way your dress fits, but you got Blue eyes Yeah, you got sad blue eyes Come over here, baby and tell ol' Tommy boy why I see you walkin' the walk And baby, you're dressed to kill You look like you're on the prowl But I don't think you've got the will, 'cause you got Blue eyes Yeah, you got sad blue eyes I got the cure for your ills I know I can make your spirits rise So come over here, darlin' And spend some time with me Just look at my face and tell me What do you see? You see my Blue eyes Yeah, I got those same blue eyes We're a match made in heaven Come give this blues man a try
