NEVER MAKE YOUR MOVE TOO SOON
Three days of snow in Birmingham,
Thought you might wonder where I am.
Rang out your number all night long,
Ain't no comfort telephone.
Ran out and caught a midnight flight.
Thought a little love would make it all right.
Landlord said you moved away,
Left me all those bills to pay.
Look out baby, never make your move too soon.

Left me with all your credit cards.
This life in Vegas sure ain't hard.
Ran it up to fifty grand,
Cashed it in, in my hand.
That kind of word can get around.
Make a lost love come up found.
I hear you knocking at my door,
You're not living here no more.
Look out baby, never make your move too soon.
Yeah

I've been to Spain, Tokyo,
Africa, Ohio.
I never tried to make the news,
I'm just a man who plays the blues.
I take my lovin' everywhere,
I come back, they still don't care.
One love ahead, one behind,
One on my arm, one on my mind.
Look out baby, Oh yeah...

Oh, never make your move too soon.

TRAVELLIN’ SOUTH
Travellin' South, on my way back home,
Travellin' South, on my way back home.
Got no money, for the telephone.
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down,
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down.
Got a hundred miles, 'for I reach the next town.

Gonna leave this town, ain't back no more,
Gonna leave this town, ain't back no more.
Goin' to Texas, only place I know.
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down,
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down.
Got a hundred miles, 'for I reach the next town.

Gonna leave this town, ain't back no more,
Gonna leave this town, ain't back no more.
Goin' to Texas, only place I know.
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down,
So tired, think I'm gonna lay down.

Got a hundred miles, 'for I reach the next town.

RECONSIDER BABY
So long,
how I hate to see you go.
So long,
how I hate to see you go.
And the way I'm gonna miss you,
Darlin' you'll never know.

We've been together so long,
to have to separate this way,
We've been together so long,
to have to separate this way.
But you can go on and leave me baby,
Hope and pray you'll come back home someday.

You said you once, once had loved me,
Now I guess you've changed your mind.
You said you once, once had loved me,
Now I guess you've changed your mind.
Please reconsider baby,

And give yourself just a little more time

AROUND THE BEND
Lord I've come a long way, and here's what I gotta say
I've paid but I got to pay, to play what I got to play
I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I'm going anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend

Girls I've had me a few, some were small and some were cute
I've tasted the honey and dew, lovin’ and never get true
I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I go anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen coward's and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend

You let me rest my weary head, weary head
let's find out, what this life Is before we're dead
Ooh, before we're dead

I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I go anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend

To see what's around the bend

To see what's around the bend

REVENGE OF THE 10 GALLON HAT

(Instrumental)

WHEN SHE DANCES
The world is cold tonight
But everything will be alright
She walks into the room
Stars to know her light
When she dances
I see where my only chance is
I feel my whole life start, babe
When she loves me
You know she really loves me
She takes it to the heart

The club is closing down
But will we still hang around
To hear another tune
And feel this love we found
When she dances
I see where my only chance is
I feel my whole life start, babe
When she loves me
You know she really loves me
She takes it to the heart

The night's so fine
The rose is mine

She's dancing just for me
I see with every move she makes
How good it's gonna be
When she dances
I see where my only chance is
I feel my whole life start, babe
When she loves me
You know she really loves me
She takes it to the heart

She takes it to the heart

HAD TO CRY TODAY
It’s already written that
Today will be one to remember
Feeling’s the same as
Being outside of your door

Had to cry today... Yeah, yeah
Well I saw your sign
And I missed you there
Missed you there

I’m taking the chance to see
The wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can’t reach me
But you want everyone to be free

Had to cry today... Yeah, yeah
Well I saw your sign
And I missed you there
Missed you there

Taking the chance to see
the wind in your eyes, while I listen
You say you can’t reach me,
but you want every word to be free

Had to cry today.. Yeah, yeah
Well I saw your sign
And I missed you there
Had to cry today.. Yeah, yeah
Well I saw your sign
And I missed you there

Missed you there

THE RIVER
Down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
Down by the river
That's where I lay down and died

Going down to the river
For as long as I can stand
Mama told me "Son,"
as she took a hold of my hand

"Water runs so deep,
Deep as all my pain,"
Down by the river, honey
Lord, can I be saved?

I said down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried
I said down by the river
That's where I broke down and cried

I said down by the river
Heartaches soaked in wine
I'm just lookin' for redemption
For that wanderin' soul of mine

Pull me to my knees
As I drown in the pouring rain
Down by the river, honey
I still see your face

I said sometimes around midnight
They'd come knocking at my door
I said sometimes around midnight,
Hell hounds found what they're looking for

Well those flashing lights told me
Didn't have to say a word
Someone took my baby
Someone took away my world
All they found was a letter
I should never have let her go
The river's the only witness
The only one who knows

And the wind whispers her name
And all the lonesome years
Water turns to whiskey
I drown in my own tears
Down by the river
I see my life in flames
Down by the river honey
I call out your name

I call out your name
I call out your name

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
Work all day
sweat and blood

Make that money

Gonna see you
gonna be good
when the sun goes down
sun goes down
gonna be free yeah
you and me now
when the sun goes down
sun goes down
sun goes down
sun goes down
Place I know
outside of town
bright lights glow
once go round
gonna touch
gonna dance
sun goes down
we all go to jail today
Gonna see you
gonna be good
when the sun goes down
sun goes down
gonna be free yeah
you and me now
when the sun goes down
sun goes down
sun goes down
sun goes down
Are you ready?
(yes I'm ready)
waiting for me?
(waiting for you)

(gonna love ya)
I'm gonna see you
when the sun goes down you know!

Music's high
life goes on

till the night is gone

the night is mine you know
