Just Another River
-------------------------
I'm just floatin' 'round
no friend to call my own
I gotta do what's right now people
and leave this place behind
You know I harbor so many things
of no consequence to me
Guess I was just another river
that flowed into your sea
You know I was just another river
that flowed into your sea

Things fall on me sometimes
and penetrate my soul
I just keep on driftin'
You know I just don't know
I get caught up some places
but there's no true home for me
Yeah just try to hold me back people
I'll find my way out eventually
Cause you know I'm just another river
flowin' into the sea
Yeah I'm just another river
flowin'

I started out so high
and I just keep fallin' down
Part of me was lost for awhile
I had to go underground
Yeah I been down in the bottom
where I could hardly see
But I left that place running
and now it's lost to me
Cause I'm just another river baby
that's flowin' to the sea
You know I'm just another river
flowin'


Dontcha Lie To Me Baby
---------------------------------
Yeah!

Well If I ever hear you say

And If I ever understand

while we together....you gonna die!

Makin' me a fool sugar

Open Road
----------------

Well, I been bleedin' down the highway
broken down and outta hand
just a waitin' for the judgement day
the one they'll finally understand
You know I had to be on my way
I made some time across the sand
and I never felt nothin'
like a warm safe place
'til I hit that open road

Now I'm flyin' cross the desert
Slowly blowin' out my mind
I'm gettin' tired of seekin' answers
that'll only let me down
I been drinkin' since forever
but I just can't put it down
and I never felt nothin'
like a warm safe place
'til I hit that open road

I hit that open road
I hit that open road
I hit that open road
and I never felt nothin' like a warm safe place....

I'm layin' down with a feelin'
that I may never be the same
Seems I've spent my whole life just killin' time
tryin' to cover up the pain
now I'm just lettin' go
there's nowhere left to put the shame
and lord, I never felt nothin'
like a warm safe place
'til I hit that open road

Another chance to start forever
is growin' cold with passin' days
I think we're in for sunny weather
I hardly think that it'll stay
I can almost hear the mountains
cryin' out for better days
but I never felt nothin'
like a warm safe place
'til I hit that open road

I hit that open road
I hit that open road
I hit that open road
and I never felt nothin' like a warm safe place....

-----------------
Yeah I'm gonna find me a woman

I'm gonna love her and she gonna love me
and when I get thirsty
I'm gonna go out and get myself a drink....yeah!

Born in Jail
---------------
Born in jail
Baby you was born in jail
Born in jail
Baby you was born in jail
Now you gonna spend your whole life cryin'
Ain't nobody gonna

Finger on the trigger baby
first day of your sorry life
Finger on the trigger baby

Now you're just another sinner baby

Born in jail

Born in jail

Diggin' ditches on a chain gang in East Texas
ain't nobody gonna

Yeah, sure as you was born in the system

Broke Ass
--------------
Well, I been livin' out the back
of a beat up old '72 Ford
and I been spendin' all my money
on some worn out $2 dollar whore
and you might think it's funny
but I don't think it's fair
that that old two timin' headache
could ever get herself anywhere
Well get on up
and come on down
see the nicest piece of real estate
to ever grace this town
Yeah she's my woman
You can see her every night
just dancin' lookin' wicked 'til the early mornin' light
Yeah She's my babe
She's my broken piece of ass
She's my #1 under cover lover
but she been runnin way too fast
for way too long
come on down
and take a good long look at my bad dream

Well, I like makin' money honey
but I sure don't like to work
when I could be down here just sinnin'
wipin' beer stains on my shirt
and if you see ol' Ben Franklin
won't you send his love my way
I ain't seen him in a month or 2
since my paycheck up and walked away
and over in the land of the good lookin'
They're still reelin' in the years
and we're just over here standin' lookin' crooked
just bleedin' in our tears
Well get on up
come on down
and take a good long look at my bad dream

It's hard to take a hand out
from a friend looks just like me
'cept his legs have both been broken
and his eyes can barely see
and somewhere way up on the high road
where there's nothin' in the way
you can't do nothin' but piss off the concrete
on the ones that showed you the way
but that's alright
it's just another broken piece of my bad dream

Well I guess I'll see ya friend
somewhere closer to the truth
when the bar is closin' down tonight
and my words just ain't no use
Guess I'm just talkin' to a stranger
Guess I'm just pissin' in the wind
Guess I'm just lonely and crippled and angry
'till I get on my feet again
Well get on up
and come on down
to the nicest piece of real estate
to ever grace this town
Come see my woman
Yeah, you can see her every night
just dancin' lookin' wicked 'til the early mornin' light
Yeah, She's my babe
She's my broken piece of ass
She's my #1 under cover lover
but she been runnin way too fast
for way too long
come on down
and take a good long look at my bad dream

I Want My Mojo Back
----------------------------
Yeah little woman put a spell on me
down in Louisiana town
Yeah she said she gonna have me
Gonna tear my soul on down.
She made a black cat moan.
She took my coon dick bone.
She took my mojo hand.

I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)

They didn't want me hangin' 'round
They took my knife
They took my coon dick bone
They took my mojo hand

I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)

I'm goin' back to Louisiana

I'm gonna find that little woman
and make her finally understand
you don't mess
with my mojo hand

I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)
I want my mojo back. (He wants his mojo back.)

I'm gonna put 'em under
I want my mojo hand
and I'm gonna get it back baby..

Wind Up Blind
---------------------------------------
Well, I just can't seem to find you
no matter how hard I try
You always wind up missin'
I always wind up blind
Drivin' round after midnight
cause you won't pick up your god damn phone
I'm parked out front with just one headlight
Looks like you got your TV on
I'm gonna turn my radio down real low
have another sip of bitches brew
Take another toke, I got my windows rolled down
Nothin' to do but wait for you

I always wind up blind
I always wind up blind
I always wind up gettin' wound up over you
I always wind up blind

You know I work so hard the whole damn day through
Jus to make a little money honey
Just to bring it home to you
The only thing that ever comes my way
is a handful of bills you know and it's hell to pay

I always wind up blind
I always wind up blind
I always wind up gettin' wound up over you
I always wind up blind

Killed A Chicken Last Night
-------------------------------------
I killed a chicken last night for no good reason
When a woman gets drunk there ain't no pleasin'
and a Louisiana woman, Lord, she gets drunk everyday
Yeah you know I mean you babe, yeah you know I mean you

All you little chickens with the bloodshot eyes
I'm sick and tired of all this shit
It ain't funny
the way you done me
Aw you baby with your daddy's money
You know I mean you babe, yeah you know I mean you

I killed a chicken last night
I wrung a neck last night
It's alright
I killed a chicken last night
I killed a chicken last night
I wrung a neck last night
It's alright, it's alright
I killed a chicken last night

She said "Hit The Road or quit your bitchin'"
Her mama said "Daddy, there's a fire in the kitchen."
And when I say fire baby you know I mean you
yeah you know I mean you babe
yeah you know I mean you

Black Creek Risin'
-------------------------
Black Creek risin'
Black Creek risin' everyday
Black Creek risin'
Black Creek risin' everyday
someday that water gonna rise up
and wash poor me away

Got a little woman
lives with her daddy down by the mill
Got a little woman
lives with her daddy down by the mill
I'm gonna go see her, gonna go see her
if she live there still
It's been 3 long years

Hang Your Head & Cry
-------------------------------
You're out on the line
You're alone all the time
You're Just gettin by
Now hang your head and cry

It's a cryin' shame
all these sleepless nights
all these low down blues
make you hang your head and cry

All alone
with a weary soul
out in the cold
and you just can't sleep at night

Well, you begged her to stay
but she went away
Love!
just walked away

and here comes the wind....

People will lie
So low down they'll steal
leave you behind and fall back on their promises
Leave you in the road and when the dust clears
It's a broke down situation
left you here in tears
Leave you cryin' bout all this wasted time
Now hang your head about all these wasted years

They beat you down
and put you in chains
They broke you and shamed you
And your lover just walked away

You been mindin' that fire
and still to this day
You don't know why she'd ever want to do you this a'way
(let me tell ya)
When it's you on the line
there's just no gettin' by
There's just no tellin' why
Just hang your head and cry

Hang your head boy!!
