Three Days on the Road

Three days on the road and still drivin’ hard
Three days on the road in my beat-up Ford
Three days on the road in the rain and snow
Three days on the road and 50 miles to go.
Three days on the road, tryin’ to make it home
Three days on the road, feelin’ all alone
Three days on the road, gas is gettin’ low
Three days on the road and 40 miles to go.
Three days on the road, my woman’ s on her own
Three days on the road, can’t reach her on the phone
Three days on the road, I miss my honey so
Three days on the road and 30 miles to go.
Three days on the road, tryin’ to make it home
Three days on the road, feelin’ all alone
Three days on the road, gas is gettin’ low
Three days on the road and 20 miles to go.
Three days on the road, speedin’ way too fast
Three days on the road, prayin’ love will last
Three days on the road, diggin’ up some dough
Three days on the road and 10 miles to go.
Three days on the road, tryin’ to make it home
Three days on the road, feelin’ all alone
Three days on the road, gas is gettin’ low
Three days on the road and 5 miles to go.
Three days on the road and 5..4..3..2..1 more mile to go.

I’m sittin’ at home, my coffee’s getting cold
And listening to Elvis and the whiskey is old
And I don’t like it, no, I love it.
Dog’s sleepin’ on the floor, babe just shut the door
But I’ve got my guitar, bare feet tappin’ on the floor
And I don’t like it, no, I love it.
Uuuuhhhh…
The blues have got my soul, and I just can’t help it
I’m in love with ma six-string, and I have to pick it
The blues have got my soul, and I just can’t help it
I’m in love with my six-string.
My friends are all in school and they’re bound to get a job
But all I wanna do is to roll and really rock
And I don’t like it, no, I love it.
My ma and pa tell me: “Get out and earn some cash!”
But then there’s Rock ‘n’ Roll and all the rest is trash
And I don’t like it, no, I love it.
Uuuuhhhh…
The blues have got my soul, and I just can’t help it
I’m in love with my six-string, and I have to pick it
The blues have got my soul, and I just can’t help it
I’m in love with my six-string.

Little Bird Blues

You took my money
You took me for a ride
The only thing you couldn’t steal
Was my pride.
I know that you cheated
I know that you’ve lied
I know you was havin’
My best friend on the side.
But will you still feel, feel so great
When I’m gone
Oh will you still feel, feel so great
When I’m gone.
You said I was your sweet thing
And that I shouldn’t cry
But I’m tellin’ you big daddy
This little bird’s about to fly.
I’m gonna warn all women
From New York to L.A.
If they see you comin’
They’d better up and run away.
But will you still feel, feel so great
When I’m gone
Oh yeah will you still feel, feel so great
When I’m gone
When I’m gone.
Now when I met you baby
I thought you was class
But you think life
Looks better through
The bottom of a glass
Well, I’ve tried to warn you
One last time
But you were too much in love
With gin, whiskey and wine.
You said I was your sweet thing
And that I shouldn’t cry
But I’m tellin’ you big daddy
This little bird’s about to fly.

Fortune Favours Fools

You left for Memphis
But you never left my heart
You turned your back on love
And tore my soul apart.
But sometimes a second chance
Simply comes along
And reaching for a shooting star
Really can’t be so wrong
Cause’ fortune favours fools
Fortune favours fools
And I‘m just a fool for you.
You said I trapped you
And my sweet lips were to blame
Then while dreamin’
You cried out another woman’s name.
But sometimes a second chance
Simply comes along
And reaching for a shooting star
Really can’t be so wrong
Fortune favours fools
Fortune favours fools
Cause’ I‘m just a fool for you.
The way you put me down
It cut me to the bone
And scars won’t heal
When you’re waiting on the phone.
But sometimes a second chance
Simply comes along
And reaching for a shooting star
Really can’t be so wrong
Cause’ fortune favours fools
Fortune favours fools
And I‘m just a fool for you.
You drew me to you
Like a moth to a flame
Said you were my honeybee
Then stung me just the same.
But sometimes a second chance
Simply comes along
And reaching for a shooting star
Really can’t be so wrong
Cause’ fortune favours fools
Fortune favours fools
And I’m just a fool for
I’m just a fool for
I’m just a fool for you.

Driftin' Away
05:21
|

You came home late from work
Tired of others dishin’ the dirt
And you lay down on the bed and closed your eyes
I sat there with my guitar
Sung you a lullaby from the heart
And watched full of wonder as you drifted away.
Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.
A little later wrapped in your arms
A willing victim of your charms
Your beauty and your grace warmed my very soul
I thanked the heavens above
For this gift of amazing love
And the music from my fingers as you drifted away.
Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.
When the walls came crashing in
It was your fingers on my skin
That drove the doubt and darkness from my mind
You chanced to come along
And then I knew where I belonged
Picking a country blues as you drifted away.
Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.
Sleep well sweetheart.

Raindrops in the Wind

The blazing shades of autumn
Fade to grey in November
And looking at your photograph
I try so hard to remember
How it felt, just lying there
Cradled gently in your arms
Having freely surrendered
To the armies of your charms.
High above in the dark sky,
The geese are flying south
And I still feel your last kiss
On the deserts of my mouth
I look to sooth my thirst
With the waters of your lies
But their taste is so bitter
That they turn my heart to ice.
And these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind
No these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops in the wind
No these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind.
The stars shiver in the bed of night
The willows can only weep
It defies all human wisdom
But my love for you won’t sleep
To blunt the thorns of my regrets
I read your letters one by one
But their warmth has vanished
With the summer and the sun.
And these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind
No these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops in the wind
No these aren’t tears in my eyes
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind
They’re only the raindrops, raindrops in the wind.

A Storm's Comin'

I feel a storm’s comin’
Can sense it in my bones
I feel a storm’s comin’
Gonna take away my home
I feel a storm’s comin’
Thunder’s on the roll
I feel a storm’s comin’
From my head, down to my toes.
I feel a storm’s comin’
The rain’s tumblin’ down
I feel a storm’s comin’
Gotta get out of this town
I feel a storm’s comin’
Chills are runnin’ up my spine
I feel a storm’s comin’
The four horsemen are waitin’ in line.
Once a dish held the ocean
A lamp lit the sun,
A compass steered the stars
But now it’s all gone wrong
So there’s a storm comin’
And it’s gonna blow us all away
There’s a a storm comin’
I think its comin’ today
I feel a storm’s comin’
The clouds are flying by
I feel a storm’s comin’
Lighting’s flashin’ through the sky
I feel a storm’s comin’
Wind’s startin’ to howl
I feel a storm’s comin’
Seems like the devil’s on the prowl
I feel a storm’s comin’
The river’s gonna flood
I feel a storm’s comin’
This blackness means no good
I feel a storm’s comin’
The sea is full of rage
I feel a storm’s comin’
Looks like nature’s turned the page
Once a dish held the ocean
A lamp lit the sun,
A compass steered the stars
But now it’s all gone wrong
So there’s a storm comin’
And it’s gonna blow us all away
There’s a storm comin’
I think its comin’ today

Hot & Bothered

When she moves, it’s like a wave
She’s got the body, that I crave
Brown eyes, and red curls
I think the devil must have made this girl.
Cos she’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s so fine, I’m losing my mind
She’s hot and I’m bothered
My momma says, that I’m a fool
But this chick, wow she’s so cool
Long legs and short skirts
So I don’t care if she treats me like dirt.
Cos she’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s so fine, I’m losing my mind
She’s hot and I’m bothered
The way she paints, those cherry red lips
Really makes my poor heart flip
Stiletto heels, lashes black as ink
Don’t give damn what the old folks think
Cos she’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s so fine, I’m losing my mind
She’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s got a rich guy, way up town
He let’s her drive, his Mustang around
Well I ain’t got no car, but I’ve got time
And some sweet day, she’s gonna be mine.
Cos she’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s hot and I’m bothered
She’s so fine, I’m losing my mind
She’s hot and I’m bothered

Midnight Moon
04:33
|

The black cat curls in the armchair
The candle flickers and flames,
A fingered branch taps on the glass
And I hear you call my name.
A lovers’ quarrel argues with the stars
A radio sings the blues,
Far in the distance the thunder rolls
And I keep thinking of you.
But it’s only the moon
Only the midnight moon.
The mystic hand moves across the waves
To awaken the sleeping tide,
Then gently caresses the silent fields
And brushes my dreams aside.
The jasmine shadows are heavy with heat
The perfume clings to the air,
The clock on the wall dares me to sleep
And grins at my despair.
But it’s only the moon
Only the midnight moon.
