One Man Woman - Beebe, Riley, Van Horne

She works so hard, for everything she owns
She always lends a hand when a friend asks for a loan
Gentle as a dove, sweet as morning dew
But if you get her angry she’ll make mince meat out of you

She’s my lover as well as my best friend
She’s so kind to me I swear it is a sin
With loving arms she says with me you’ll never fight
My very soul says boy, you gotta treat her right
She’s a one-man woman

Some men they like ‘em nasty, some men they like ‘em nice
Some men like ‘em lean and mean with a toucha sugar and spice
I know she’s got the answer to what they’re looking for
My baby’s got all that, and a million times more

She’s my lover as well as my best friend
She’s so kind to me I swear it is a sin
With loving arms she says with me you’ll never fight
My very soul says boy, you gotta treat her right
She’s a one-man woman

I don’t know how she does it, all the love she makes me feel
I think I must be dreamin’ cause this woman can't be real
So if I die tomorrow and I’m heading to the pearly gates
Tell ‘ol Pete my heaven’s here on earth; my soul will be a little late

She’s my lover as well as my best friend
She’s so kind to me I swear it is a sin
With loving arms she says with me you’ll never fight
My very soul says boy, you gotta treat her right
She’s a one-man woman

 

Watching Time Walk - Doyle

I don’t have time for things that you do
I’ve got a mind and a notion that it’s true
What you tell me every hour of every day
I don’t have time for listening today

I’d walk the plank and I’d walk the line
Walk to the moon if you just flash me the sign
That you show me every time you walk astray
I don’t like seeing you walk the same old way

Just once I’d like to see you twice your size
Three strikes away from being out for being wise
I’d like to see you smile though you don’t mean it anyway
I’d like to see you see every hour of every day

If you’d like to see me walk the line just biding my time
Looking for the signs not hearing what’s going on in your mind
Guarding against those who take things in stride
One strike away from being out because of pride
Just come on down to my place, any hour of any day
We’re taking things in stride and not for granted like they say

 

This Train - Riley, Van Horne

My freedom is on its way
Yeah freedom is on its way
Good times ahead trouble all gone away

I’m rollin’ on down this track
I’m rollin’ on down this track
Leavin’ prison and never coming back

The warden owns me no more
The warden owns me no more
Goin’ to Chicago, happy like I was before

Got sunshine right on my face
Got sunshine on my face
I’ve paid my dues this train’s my saving grace

 

Mansion in the Backyard - Beebe

I got a mansion in the backyard
I imagine it all the time
A perfect life in a perfect world
A movie in my mind

I don't know what I have to do
To make my final peace with you
I don't know what I have to say
Just to make the past go away

I imagine you in your life
Two point five kids in a house of lies
Living on the end of a fashionable road
Tell me you're happy there and I'll be glad to go

I don't know what I have to do
To make my final peace with you
I don't know what I have to say
Just to make the past go away

So did it all work out for you
I guess anyway I'll be all right too
But if life is only memories
Let's change our lives and set the past free

I don't know what I have to do
To make my final peace with you
I don't know what I have to say
Just to make the past go away

 

Mississippi Mud - Winkler

They row that boat one stroke at a time
Oars hit the water and clear the slime
Revealing my face by the light of the moon
Never too late, always too soon

I am a mission to your destiny
There’s no way out I guarantee
You broke my course; it’s time to pay
I’m Mississippi Mud your Judgment Day

Oil and sludge, deep in the river
You try to wake with a lifeless quiver
Ain’t no voodoo healing gonna set you free
‘Cause the current done held and crucified
Laid you down where the sinners lie
Deep in the muck under water that covers me
Yeah, I’m the Mississippi Mud

I know the truth, behind each lie
I am the end, the last goodbye
I’ve heard the whisper of a man’s last breath
I’m the sole undertaker of his death

I am the end of your destiny
There’s no way out I guarantee
You broke the rules, now it’s time to pay
I’m Mississippi Mud your Judgment Day

Oil and sludge, deep in the river
You try to wake with a lifeless quiver
Ain’t no voodoo healing gonna set you free
‘Cause the current done held and crucified
Laid you down where the sinners lie
Deep in the muck under water that covers me
Yeah, I’m the Mississippi Mud

Many lost souls, within me lie
Laid to rest and I testify
Between these banks I forever claim
Their very heart, soul and name

I am the end of your destiny
There’s no way out I guarantee
You broke my course; it’s time to pay
I’m Mississippi Mud your Judgment Day

Oil and sludge, deep in the river
You try to scream with a lifeless quiver
Ain’t no voodoo healing gonna set you free
‘Cause the current done held and crucified
Laid you down here where the sinners lie
Deep in the muck under water that covers me
Yeah, I’m the Mississippi Mud

 

Unravel - Bellville, Liebers, Smith

Keep on stringing along baby with me
I’ll keep on pulling you honey, until I unravel Lord stay
Keep on stringing along with me honey
I’ll take you anywhere baby, I’ll be your lead

But you keep pulling
Keep pulling away, just keep pulling
Why do you keep pulling, away

Keep on stringing along baby with me
Quit shifting around, we don’t need anymore tangles
Keep on stringing along with me honey
Just walk in straight line baby right towards me

But you keep pulling
Keep pulling away, just keep pulling
Why do you keep pulling, away

I hope your grip, it’s not too tight, and it won’t burn your hands tonight
And if you need I’ll lend you my glove, but don’t let go this is all my love

Keep on stringing along baby with me
I don’t like yanking you honey, but sometimes that’s what you need
Keep on stringing along with me honey
I’ll show you the way my baby, just come with me

But you keep pulling
Keep pulling away, just keep pulling
Why do you keep pulling, away

 

Twisted Steel (instrumental) - Riley, Van Horne

 

I Can't Take Her Home to Mama - Riley, Van Horne

Met a Creole vamp, down Louisiana way
I couldn’t stay; I was there for a day”
I was not afraid; I knew she would never bite
And as the dawn broke; I’d stayed the whole night

But I can’t take her home to mama
No I can’t take her home to mama
If my brother saw her he would understand
But I can’t take her home to mama

Met a French tickler way over in France
I couldn’t stay; I couldn’t take the chance
Tried to say no to her feminine mystique
But as the bell tolls; I was there for a week

But I can’t take her home to mama
No I can’t take her home to mama
If my sister saw her she would understand
But I can’t take her home to mama

Met a tree hugger up in Bangor Maine
I couldn’t stay; I had to catch a plane
She told me no sir, your goin’ fishin’ with me”
And two weeks later; we were still out at sea

But I can’t take her home to mama
No I can’t take her home to mama
If my papa saw her he would understand
But I can’t take her home to mama

 

Molly - Nauman

Molly, I’m a dog at your door
Don’t feed me, ‘cause I’ll come back for more
I ain’t got a name, just hunger and shame
Molly, I’m a dog at your door

Molly, I can’t help how I am
Don’t ya know, I’m only a man
Hard as I try, I just can’t get by
Molly, I’m a dog at your door

Molly, I don’t know what to do
I’m stuck in this life feelin’ blue
I spend all my days ‘neath the devil’s dead gaze
Molly, I’m a dog at your door

Molly, I’m going out of my mind
I’m crazy for the things I can’t find
I’ve searched everywhere, and I no longer care
Molly, I’m a dog at your door

Molly, this is my last goodbye
Don’t worry there’s no need to cry
I’ve found me no peace, so my soul I release
And Molly, you won’t see me no more

 

Natural Disaster - Riley, Van Horne

My love is like a hurricane
In the Caribbean Sea
I'll turn you round and round
‘Til you don't know who you be
Ain’t nowhere to hide
Ain’t nowhere to run
You gonna need some real assistance
When my damage is done

I’m a natural disaster
Mother nature let the four winds blow

There is no amount of insurance
For the chances that you take
I’m gonna shake you like a Californi earthquake
Rumble and tumble and stumble
All nightlong
You think it feels right
When it really is so wrong

I’m a natural disaster
Mother nature let the mountain’s grow

I'm coming at you like a wave
In the northern Great Lakes
Ain’t no way to stop me
It’s over when the levee breaks
You’ll drown in all your sorrows
In the whirlpool of my love
To fix the mess I leave behind
You’ll need help from up above

I’m a natural disaster
Mother nature let the waters flow

 

I've Been Dreaming - Beebe, Riley, Van Horne

I’ve been dreaming of days just like this
I got a feeling that I just cannot miss
When luck goes away
It’s like part of me is gone
When it comes back to me
I know it was with me all along
I’m lucky as the day is long

I’ve been dreaming of a girl just like you
I got a feeling for the things we could do
When you go away
It’s like part of me is gone
When you come back to me
I know you were with me all along
I’m lucky as the day is long

I’ve been dreaming of my friends that are gone
I got a feeling that it won’t be too long
When they went away
It’s like part of me was gone
When they came back to me
I know they were with me all along
I’m lucky as the day is long

 

All That's Left - Beebe

I just been standing here
Waiting for something
Waiting for something
Been walking down the road
Living for nothing
Living for nothing

And if my dreams were anything
If my life means a thing

I won’t bring you down
I won’t make you cry
I won’t break your heart
Not one more time
This’ll be the end
I won’t try and pretend
This is all that’s left
At the end of the line

Just walking through the rain
Waiting for daybreak
Waiting for daybreak
Trying to find some meaning
In all the lost days
In all the lost days

And if my dreams were anything
If my life means a thing

I won’t bring you down
I won’t make you cry
I won’t break your heart
Not one more time
This’ll be the end
I won’t try and pretend
This is all that’s left
At the end of the line

 

All Together You Stand - Beebe, A. Van Horne, Riley

Hello to you my old friend
You're a long way off in mountains and sand
You serve the country you heard the call
You make us proud as you walk tall
In a foreign land fighting tyranny
Doing all you can to set them free
We at home honor you
You carry the torch of red, white and blue

You fight the battle to be all you can be
The few the proud your marching to your destiny
The heart, the power to go where no one else can
Accelerating life, all together you stand

We’ve been friends since childhood days
Running up hills in the summer haze
It sometimes seems so long ago
Sledding back down in the winter snow
High school days always you and me
Hanging out together, swimming in the sea
We wondered about our future days
Our lives have changed in so many ways

You fight the battle to be all you can be
The few the proud your marching to your destiny
The heart, the power to go where no one else can
Accelerating life, all together you stand

Time goes by and I miss your touch
Peace of mind is asking so much
Freedom’s hope, our country’s pride
Some to return, some to die
I always ask why is it so
That liberty’s path is so far to go
I tell our children sitting on my knee
You bravely serve to keep us free

You fight the battle to be all you can be
The few the proud your marching to your destiny
The heart, the power to go where no one else can
Accelerating life, all together you stand
