TWENTY-FOUR HOUR BLUES
Every morning when I wake up
Lord, I cry a pool of tears
Seven days now, since you left me
Well, it seems like seven years
Loneliness keeps hanging around my door
An unwanted friend I can't lose
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues
Lonely minutes turn into hours
I keep waiting by the telephone
But you don't call me, I guess I'll be
Spending another sleepless night alone
I can't seem to get myself together
Without you it's all bad news
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues
If you don't hurry on back to me
Then I have nothing left to lose
Just these four gray walls
Twenty-four hour blues
Yeah!
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues
IT'S HARD BUT IT'S FAIR
Gonna tell ya, it's hard but it's fair
You had a good home, but you wouldn't stay there
I swear
I'll tell it anywhere
It's hard but it's fair
It's hard but it's fair
When a man loves you, woman, and you don't even care
I swear
Tell it everywhere
It's hard but it's fair
So hard to love someone when they don't love you
Ask somebody quick, what am I to do?
Play the blues
Play the blues
It's hard but it's fair
Can't find no one to love, I've been lookin' everywhere
I swear
Tell it anywhere
It's hard but it's fair
Tellin' еverybody anywhere
I'm tеllin' anybody over there
Tellin' everybody I don't care
I'm tellin' everybody
I'm gonna play the blues
(It's hard but it's fair)
Play the blues
(It's hard but it's fair)
I'm gonna play the blues
(It's hard but it's fair)
WELL, I DONE GOT OVER IT
Well, I done got over it
Well, I done got over it
Yeah, I done got over it
Well, I done got over it
Yeah, I done got over it
I done got over at last
Now the day that I first met you
You seemed like a sweet little thing
But after a while you got so bad
You know it was a cryin' shame
But I done got over it
Lord, I done got over it
Yeah, I done got over it
I done got over at last
I was so in love I was miserable
I know my love was in vain
'Cause every time I turned my back
You was out with another man
But I done got over it
Lord, I done got over it
Yeah, I done got over it
I done got over at last
Yeah, I didn't want you to be no angel
Neither no gal that's jive
'Cause all I wanted was some good woman
To keep me satisfied
But I done got over it
Ooh, got over it
I done got over it
I done got over at last
I WANT TO SHOUT ABOUT IT
Well, she's strong enough to hold me
Strong enough to turn me loose
Let me sing my song
And do the best that I can do
I want to shout about it
She's so good for me
When I'm miles from home
And it's week 'til we kiss again
One thought of her
And I burst out in a grin
I wanna shout about it
She's so good for me
Oh yeah
I come up short
She slips me a ten
When I need good lovin'
I just say when
She takes me for who I am
I know, I'm a lucky man
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
You know that I'm a lucky man
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
When I'm draggin' on home
Throw my bags on the floor
Like I never left
She loves me long, long and slow
I want to shout about it
She's so good to me
I want to shout about it
She's so good to me
I want to shout about it
Oh, tell the whole world about it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shout!
Shout about it
Shout
Shout
Shout about it
Shout
Shout about it
Shout
Shout about it
WIN-O
I'm a win-o
As high as I can be
I'm a win-o
As high as I can be
I've got an office in the White House
All the laws are made by me
I don't drink no good whiskey
Lord knows I can't stand beer or gin
I don't drink no good whiskey
I can't stand no beer or gin
When I drink my whiskey down
Wow, I drink to the bitter end
I say I'm a great politician
And I make all the laws
I say I'm a great politician
And I, ooh, I make all the laws
You know I got a seat in Congress
Right next to Santa Claus
Oh, look out!
HOPE YOU REALIZE IT (GOODBYE AGAIN)
Left you a letter in a combo box
Saw a live feed when the truck pulled up
You were running hot, I couldn't sit still
I was busy pushing rocks up that hill
I ain't been in love in a long time
And I'm not the one who gets cast aside
All my hopes, all your sins
Hope you realize it's goodbye again
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Goodbye again, babe
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Listen!
I'm a wanted man from Wichita
Snakeskin boots running from the law
Made a wrong left at the Oklahoma line
Roadblock ahead, guess I'm out of time
Leavenworth Prison here I come
Ain't no mercy for what I done
Judge looked at me with a Tulsa grin
Said, "I hope you realize it's goodbye again"
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
No place lower than down and out
I had to move back to my momma's house
Two drink drunk, one night stand
Momma said, "Son, it's goodbye again"
What'd my momma say?
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
LAZY POKER BLUES
Yeah, me and my baby don't do nothing
But lay around all day long
Me and my baby don’t do nothing
But lay around all day long
Yeah, when I'm with my baby
Lazy poker goin' on
She puts some coal on the fire
So I can keep my poker hot
She puts some coal on the fire
So I can keep my poker hot
Well, we stoke around all day long
Nighttime we stoke some more
Oh, me and my baby don’t do nothing
But lay around all day long
Oh, me and my baby don't do nothing
But lay around all day long
When I'm with my baby
There's some lazy poker goin' on
YOU SURE DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN
I walked into your store
Just to have a look around
Asked if you could help me
With the bargain that I found
Tried to explain to you, darling
I was just a working man
You came up with some term, little girl
I just couldn't understand
Little lady, little lady
You sure drive a hard bargain
The price you're asking, mama
Is too much for me to pay
Now you're trying to tell me
I can't have it layaway
I know your merchandise is good
Your sample proved it so
If it was to kill me, little girl
What a good way to go
Little lady, little lady
You sure drive a hard bargain
I'm just a guy in town
And it's plain for me to see
If I come into your store
You're gonna make a stock boy out of me
Little lady, little lady
You sure drive a hard bargain
Drive a hard bargain
Little lady
You sure drive a hard bargain
THE TRUTH HURTS
The truth hurts
You wanna tell her, but you can't
The truth hurts, baby
You wanna tell her, but you can't
When you can't tell it like it is
You gotta tell it like it ain't
Tell it like it ain't, Kirk
Some say it's wrong
Some say it's right
But who am I to judge someone else's life
The truth hurts
No one claimed to be a saint
When you can't tell it like it is
You gotta tell it like it ain't
Yeah, tell 'em about it, Joe
Well, some have patience
Some can't wait
Some come homе early
Some stay out late
Thе truth hurts, baby
You wanna tell her, but you can't
When you can't tell it like it is
You gotta tell it like it ain't
Come on, Josh
…
The truth hurts
No one claimed to be a saint
When you can't tell it like it is
You gotta tell it like it ain't
Come on, fellas
…
Alright
IS IT SAFE TO GO HOME
Every now and then I get a feeling
And it chills me to my bones
When the lights go down and I'm all alone
Is it safe to go home?
In my own world every night
While the world passes me by
When the fog is lifted and I just don't know
Is it safe to go home?
It's a lonely life for anyone
How can anything change
I pushed you away for fortune and fame
How could I be so wrong
When it all comes down and I'm left all alone
Is it safe to go home?
Is it safe to go home?
Is it safe to go home?
When it all comes down and I'm left all alonе
Is it safe to go home?
