(feat. J.J. Cale)

Danger is out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight
She was treated so badly it seems, now she's looking for a dream
Danger is out into the night

Danger she walks the streets alone
Danger all the bars she has to know
All the men that look her way could be hers hers today
Danger is out into the night

Locked into a love affair didn't seem to go nowhere
With no choice she thought she might
Caution to the wind, right into the night

Danger she walks the streets alone
Danger all the bars she and I know
All the men that look her way could be hers today

Will she take to find someone new
She goes nowhere I've been
She wants to do too many guys
Shes gone out to the night

Danger shes out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight

Danger she's out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight
Danger she's out with you tonight
Danger she such a pretty sight

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet are California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Well we ride them old freight trains rent them automobiles
For we ride them old freight trains and rent them automobiles
Cause that good looking woman is tired of these old Georgia hills

And that lonesome old highway seems to be our way no doubt
And that lonesome old highway seems to be the way no doubt
Cause that good looking woman and me, we just hanging out

Trains and airplanes is all we do, I'm running half the time just like she wants me to
Makes me no difference to me when all is said and done, headed west toward the setting sun

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

I've been asking some people
If they remember the girl, if they've forgotten, round as a cotton
A dress, have you seen her, if she's much leaner
Yes she is missing is true

She has gone out there somewhere
Disappeared into thin air
I would just like to find her
I would like to remind her - the good times we had there
More than just good friends
Yes she is missing is true

I've been asking around, and what I have found
she moved on farther this time
I've been checking it out, there ain't no doubt,
the woman that used to be mine

She is a missing person
She's hiding away it would seem
She is a missing person
She so much lighter

She is a missing person
She is got a good write up
She so much tighter

Missing person
She is hiding away from me

She up and she left, now she is gone
She didn't even me a
Didn't write me note
Send me no line it's a pity

She is a missing person
Where are you
Missing person
Where are you

Missing person
Hiding away
Missing person
Hiding away
Missing Person
Missing person
Missing Person
Missing Person

(feat. J.J. Cale)

When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave

Ain't no sense in the action, killing people all the time
Ain't no sense no the action, killing people all the time
When it happen on the street we call that a crime

These old boys are leading us somewhere - that is plain to see
I don't know much of nothing, still it troubles me
Got to find another way, this one ain't the way to go
Got to get a plan, change our ways or no...

When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave

When this war is over, it will be a better day
When this war is over, it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave

(feat. J.J. Cale)

I'm tired of runnin' around,
Think I will marry and settle down
This ole sportin' life,
It is a mean life, and it's killin' me

I got a letter from my home,
All of my schoolmates, they're dead an'gone
It'll make you worry,
It'll make you wonder 'bout days to come

My mother used to talk to me,
I was young and foolish, Brownie could not see
Now, I have no mother, my sisters
And my brothers, they don't care for me

Mama used to fall on her knees an' pray,
These are the words, mother,she used to say
She would say: "Brownie, wha-oh,
My son, please change your way"

Now, I'm goin' to change my way,
I'm growin' older each and every day
When I was young and foolish,
I was so easy, easy to let ...

I was a gambler and a cheater, too, now,
It's come my turn to lose
This ole sportin' life,
Got the best hand, what can I do?

There ain't but one thing Brownie done wrong,
I liv'd that ole sportin' life too long
Friends, it's no good, please believe me,
Please leave it alone

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Well I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
Yes I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
I need some someone to tell me which way I ought to go

Say good by to the morning hello weekend time
Say good bye to the morning down the road I am flying
If I look way beyond me I'll be getting way behind

I can't seem to catch up distance keeps falling away
I can't seem to catch up distance keeps falling away
Makes no difference where I go dead end road every way

I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
Well like I'm running down a dead end road.
I need some one to tell me which way I ought to go

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

If you need a woman, in bed with you
Tell her in front, what you can do
It's easy
Easy as pie
You don't have to BS her, you don't have to lie
If you play the guitar, it won't be long, you'll be writin'
And singin' them songs
It's easy
Easy you bet
You'll be big, if you don't quit

If you feel kinda lonesome, no friends in sight
Get yourself a dog, it will be all right
Get yourself two, lucky you
One thing nice, it'll be there twice to love you
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind

If a woman thinks she's ugly, or always depressed
She can go out and buy herself a new dress
It's easy
Easy my friend
Solves all of her problems, that's for sure
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind

If cash is your problem, you might regret
Use that old plastic, slide two third in debt
It's easy
Easy you see
If tomorrow never comes, everything is free
So easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore

There is nothing you can show me
That I haven't seen before
I've got time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Over forty years of fridays
You would give up trying too

Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
I'm hardly thrilled
Nothing really moves me anymore

There is nothing you can show me
That I haven't seen before
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Some like this and some like that
And some don't know where it's at
If you don't get loose, if you don't groove
Well, your motor won't make it and your motor won't move

If time don't tell you then don't ask me
I'm riding on a hurricane down to the sea
If you can't hear the music, turn it up loud
There's movement in the air and movement in the crowd

Bow-legged woman doing the boogaloo
She got a jive, she got a move
Turn around, do it again
Bow-legged woman, where you been

Fat jack owns a honky-tonk downtown
You can catch a woman if you hang around
You can tear down the door, tear down the wall
Fat jack he don't care at all

Easy come, easy go
Any way the wind blows
Hey, drummer, drummer, can you give me that beat
Can you give me that beat, got to move my feet

Guitar player been all around the world
But he can't play a lick for looking at the girls
One two three four five six seven
Well, you'd better change your ways or you won't get to heaven

Eight nine ten, gonna stop at eleven
Eleven just lays around with seven
Some like this and some like that
And some don't know where it's at

If you don't get loose, if you don't groove
Well, your motor won't make it and your motor won't move
Easy come, easy go
Any way the wind blows

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

When this world got me feeling low
I don't need nowhere else to go
Cause I get all the love I need, from
Three little girls

We're in the garden collecting snails
On the bed reading fairy tales
I get all I'll ever need from
Three little girls

Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
Then you showed me a better way
My three little girls

[Instrumental bridge]

Lord, you've put me to the test
And lead me through the wilderness
Then you showed me a brighter day
With Three little girls

Julie Rose, and Ellie Mae,
Sophie Belle, You came to stay
You take my breath away
My three little girls

Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
You showed me a better way
My three little girls

Three little girls

. . .


Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, i tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it

When old man trouble knocks on your door
Don't give him no key, he just wants more
He'll turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

Woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Well I met this old woman
She was hard as nails
I think she just come out of the
County jail
Would I loan her some money
Just to pay her rent
If I would she would put me
In her
Last Will and Testament

Well I've got lots of children
An ex-wife or two
I never hear from them
'til the bills are due
The money I gave them
They already spent
If I could just help 'em out
They would put me in their
Last Will and Testament

You know I'm goin' over sixty
I'm older than most
It won't be long now
I'll be nothin' but a ghost
My intentions
It's my intent
To leave all of them people
Out of my
Last Will and Testament

And when it's all over
They put you in the ground
Send my belongings
To the Lost and Found
My intentions
It's my intent
To leave all of them people
Out of my
Last Will and Testament

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

It don't take no fool to love you
You stand out in any crowd
And I know men who want to own you
I can hear them talking loud
There ain't no point in just me talking
Who am I telling you?

But you don't got yourself together
And you can bet whithin in you
I just realised
I just realised
Who am I telling you?

You never lose, you are a winner
It's a simple thing for you
If I'm standing at a crossroad
You know exactly what to do
From this moment on I loved you
Somewhere in between I learned
I'm just reaching out to touch you
It's the point of no return
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?

I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?

. . .


(feat. J.J. Cale)

Floating down that old river boy
All my worries far behind
Floatin down that old river boy
Leave old memories way behind

Yes the days slowly fade
All my life...I cant wait for this time

Floatin down that old river boy
Leaves me feelin good inside
Floatin down that old river boy
Tryin to get to the other side

Yes the days slowly fade
I've been waitin now and forever for this ride

Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river

Floatin down that old river boy
All my worries far behind
Floatin down that old river boy
Leave old memories way behind

Yesterday slowly fades
I've been waitin now and forever for this ride.

Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river

{music & lyrics fading out}
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
Ride the river in this boat ride the river
