Smokestack Lightning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was sitting at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring
And there on the line was a friend of mine saying he wasn't doing a thing
So I'm stepping out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free
There's a sweet young thing ready and waiting on me (Yeah, you)
[Chorus]
Young and fine, strike you blind
Smokestack lightning make you lose your mind
She's got looks that kill, can fire at will
Smokestack lightning, she's all I need, woo
[Verse 2]
When we got to the place I got me a taste
I knew she'd be good for a game
Dancing out on the floor she was ready for more
She knew all the boys by their names
I said "Hey sweet thing, let me pull your string
Let me take you home" (Let's go)
I woke up in an alley with my money and my memory gone
[Chorus]
Young and fine, strike you blind
Call her smokestack lightning, make you lose your mind
She got looks that kill, can fire at will
Smokestack lightning, she's all I need, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Young and fine, strike you blind
Smokestack lightning
[Chorus]
She's young and fine, strike you blind
Call her smokestack lightning, make you lose your mind
Got looks that kill, can fire at will
Smokestack lightning, she's all I need
Smokestack lightning, she's all I need
Smokestack lightning, oh
She's all I need
[Post-Chorus]
Smokestack lightning, woo
Smokin', baby
Oh
Smokestack lightning

Southern Women Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm the kind of man who loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
I've tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
[Chorus]
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
Them southern women
[Verse 2]
It's a well known fact across the Dixie line
And if a man don't agree, I could tell you he's blind
They can drink with the best, and to hell with the rest
And if she takes you home, you ain't getting no rest
[Chorus]
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
Them southern women
Talkin' 'bout, oh
They'll love you so slow
Them southern women
Them southern girls
Oh, they look like angels on Saturday night
Oh, Lord, they've got a wild side
Take you places that you've never been
Make a man come back again
Talk 'bout mama, the southern belle
Little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
Oh
[Bridge]
Talk to me, my baby
Ooh
Woo
[Chorus]
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh
Them southern women
Talkin' 'bout, oh
They'll love you so slow
Them southern women
Them southern girls
Oh, look like angels on Saturday night
Oh, Lord, they've got a wild side
Take you places that you've never been
Make a man come back again
Talk 'bout mama, the southern belle
Little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
Southern women
[Outro]
They can make a man feel so proud
They can capture him with a southern style
Little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell
Like them sweet southern women
Them southern girls
Oh
Southern women
Southern women
Make a man feel proud
Southern women
Southern women
Thinkin' just like your mama
Southern women
Take you places that you've never been
Southern women

Pure & Simple Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to live in a poor neighborhood
My friends and me we always had a time
Never had no money but we had it so good
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
So pure so simple
Never thought about it when you're young you don't care
You don't realize it 'till it's all behind
Take it for granted just not well
[Chorus]
Oh-oh It was pure and simple
I'll remember those days 'till the end
Oh-oh God knows it's simple
If I could live my life all over again
I'd keep it pure and simple
[Verse 2]
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
Got me a feeling I'm not alone
Wish I had a road so I could go back home
[Chorus][x2]

Good Thing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My baby came home late last night
I said girl I gotta talk to you
I've been drinking with the man next door
He said he's been singing with you
Whoever's telling lies it's time to say bye-bye
You know my mama didn't raise no fool
[Chorus]
You're going to walk out that door you'll never see me anymore
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going to love ya' just one more time
I'd love to see what you've got
I don't care if it takes all night
Going to make you remember for the rest of your life oh baby
We had a good thing a good thing going
But ain't been seeing eye to eye
You had a good thing but it's all over
Might as well wave and say goodbye
[Verse 2]
It's easy to see the guilt in your eyes
Girl I want you to tell me the truth
Was he worth the risk and all the trouble he's caused
Now it comes down to me and you
You thought I was blind when you were gone all the time
Playing me for a fool
[Chorus]
You're going to walk out that door you'll never see me anymore
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going to love ya' just one more time
I'd love to see what you've got
I don't care if it takes all night
Going to make you remember for the rest of your life oh baby
We had a good thing a good thing going
But ain't been seeing eye to eye
You had a good thing but it's all over
Might as well wave and say goodbye
[Bridge]
We had a good thing going baby but it's all over
[Outro]
Good thing, good thing going

Mama (Afraid to Say Goodbye) Lyrics

[Intro]
Here we go
Come on
[Verse 1]
I was raised on the west side Shanty Town
I didn't get up until the sun went down
When your backs against the wall you better get tough
I learned real quick how to swing and duck
[Chorus]
I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the streets than in school
Sweet Mama didn't raise no fool (No she didn't)
Hahahaha
Ooooohhh
[Verse 2]
Some folks cheat and some folks lie
I can judge a man by the look in his eyes
So don't hand me Jack and try to call it Cola
I know the difference between shit and shinola
[Chorus]
Play it boys[?]
MMmmHhmmm[?]
[Verse 3]
Mama was no angel when she taught me right from wrong
She knew every single note and every word in every single song
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice
If it makes you feel good DO IT don't think twice
[Chorus] [x2]
[Outro]
Talking about Mama
Ooooh I'm telling you sheee[?]
Talking about sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweet sweet sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweet sweet sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweeeeeeeeeet Mama
