Tulsa Time

I left Oklahoma, drivin’ in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin’ to Arizona Maybe on to California Where the people all live so fine My baby said I was crazy My mama called me lazy I was gonna show ’em all this time ‘Cause you know I ain’t no foolin’ […]

I Gotta Get Drunk

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it ‘Cause I know just what I’m gonna do I’ll start to spend my money callin’ everybody honey And wind up singin’ the blues I’ll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck And brother I can name you a few Well I gotta get […]

I Should Have Been Home

I saw a dancin’ young lady who worked in the bar A dozen known rangers, don’t know who they are The waitress was spinnin’, my head was a jar And I should have been home with you… I saw a reelin’ old drunk man dancin’ around Thought his grey whiskers still must have been brown […]

Ocean Of Diamonds

Some people drink champagne out under the stars While others drink wine leaning over a bar But all that I need, dear, to make me feel fine Is to know that your love will forever be mine I’d give an ocean of diamonds or a world filled with flowers To hold you closely for just […]

Motorpsycho Nightmare

I pounded on a farmhouse, lookin’ for a place to stay I was mighty, mighty tired, I had come a long, long way I said, “Hey, hey, in there, is there anybody home?” I was standin’ on the steps, feelin’ most alone When out comes a farmer, he must have thought that I was nuts […]

Stay All Night (Stay a Little Longer)

Can’t go home if you’re goin’ by the mill ‘Cause the bridge’s washed out At the bottom of the hill Big Creek’s up Little Creek’s level Plow my corn with a double shovel Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat throw it in the […]

I’ll Be Here In the Morning

There’s no stronger wind than the one that blows Down a lonesome railroad line No prettier sight than lookin’ back on a town you left behind There is nothin’ that’s as real as a love that’s in my mind Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the morning Close your eyes, I’ll be here for […]

I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now the rain is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day I think I can make it now the pain is gone […]

California Sober

Well, I used to like to ramble with my good-time friends and neighbors Now I find I’d rather lie awake in bed And I don’t get to actin’ mean when I keep my buzzes clean And keep the hard stuff and the whiskey from my head Well, I guess that’s just the trouble when you’re […]

Holding

Now you asked was I holding I said why no I’m not holding I thought you were holding, it’s true So here you’re not holding You thought I was holding My dear, what on Earth will we do Now you know when I’m holding There’s no need you holding And you know the same about […]

Roll Me Up

Roll me up and smoke me when I die And if anyone don’t like it, just look ’em in the eye I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leaving So don’t sit around and cry Just roll me up and smoke me when I die Now, you won’t see no sad and teary eyes When […]

Bob Marley and his reggae band (Two hits and the joint turned brown) Playin’ reggae music all over the land (Two hits and the joint turned brown) Ohhh, sweet momma (Two hits and the joint turned brown) Ohhh, pretty baby (Two hits and the joint turned brown) Now you’re tryin’ to light your roach while […]

Your Love Is Like a Flower

It was long, long ago in the moonlight We were sitting on the banks of the stream When you whispered so sweetly, I love you As the waters murmured a tune Oh, they tell me your love is like a flower In the springtime blossoms so fair In the fall then they wither away, dear […]

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Oh, the ragman draws circles Up and down the block I’d ask him what the matter was But I know that he don’t talk And the ladies treat me kindly And they furnish me with tape But deep inside my heart I know I can’t escape Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To […]

Nutshell

We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating […]

Cabin Song

Take me back to the woods where she left me, Let me walk through them hills all alone, Where your love still wanders through the valley, And the vines have covered up our cabin home. Far away in the great Northern forest, There’s a place where I once loved to dwell, And I feel like […]

Mama Don’t Allow

Well, Mama don’t allow no music played around here Oh, Mama don’t allow no music played around here Well, we don’t care what Mama don’t allow Playin’ our music anyhow Mama don’t allow no music played in here Well, Mama don’t like an ol’ guitar picked in here She don’t like an old Tennessee flat-top […]

We Shall All Be Reunited

Where is now my father’s family That was here so long ago? Sitting ’round the kitchen fireside Brightened by the ruddy glow We shall all be reunited In that land beyond the skies Where there’ll be no separation No more marching, no more sighs Some have gone to lands far distant And with others made […]

Greenville Trestle High

I remember as a boy How I’d wander and enjoy I’d watch the trains as they’d go by And the whistle’s lonely sound You could hear for miles around As they rolled across that Greenville trestle high But the whistles don’t sound like they used to Lately not many trains go by Hard times across […]

The Old Home

I left my old home in the mountains And the only friends I’ve ever had And though I have traveled this world over My heart’s been so lonesome and sad I’m going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Round […]
