Track Lyrics
Waitin’ for the Bus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day
Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day
I got my brown paper bag
And my take-home pay
[Verse 2]
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight
Well, I'm glad just to get on and home tonight
[Instrumental Break 1:07-2:22]
[Outro]
Right on, that bus done got me back
Right on, that bus done got me back
Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus till I Cadillac
Jesus Just Left Chicago Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans, yeah
Working from one end to the other
And all points in between
[Verse 2]
Took a jog through Mississippi
Well, muddy water turned to wine
Took a jog through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine, yeah
Then out to California
Through the forests and the pines
Ah, take me with you, Jesus
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same
You might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same, hey
You don't have to worry
Because taking care of business is his name
[Instrumental Outro]
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And if you see me walking down the line
With my favorite honky tonk in mind
Well, I'll be here around supper time
With my can of dinner and a bunch of wine
[Chorus]
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah
Baby, don't you want to come with me?
[Verse 2]
And the crowd gets loud
When the band gets right
Steel guitar crying through the night
Yeah, trying to cover up the corner fight
But everything's cool because they just tight
[Chorus]
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah
Baby, don't you want to come with me?
Ah, play it boy
[Instrumental Break 1:05-2:02]
[Verse 3]
The joint was jumping like a cat on hot tin
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in
Soundin' a lot like
They got House Congressional
Cause we're experimental and professional
[Chorus]
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah
Well, baby don't you want to come with me?
[Instrumental Outro 2:28-3:25]
Master of Sparks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
High class Slim came floating in
Down from the county line
Just getting right on Saturday night
Ridin' with some friends of mine
They invited me to come and see
Just what was on their minds
And then I took my first long look
At the Master of Sparks on high
[Verse 2]
In the back of Jimmy's Mack
Stood a round steel cage
Welded into shape by Slim
Made out of sucker gauge
How fine, they cried now with you inside
Strapped in there safe and sound
I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will fly
If that thing ever hit the ground
[Verse 3]
Slim was so pleased when I had eased
Into his trap of death
He had slammed the door but I said no more
And I thought I'd breathed my last breath
We was out in the sticks down Highway Six
And the crowd was just about right
The speed was too, so out I flew
Like a stick of rolling dynamite
[Instrumental Break 2:04-2:50]
[Outro]
When I hit the ground
You could hear the sound
And see the sparks a country mile
End over end I began to spin
But the ball started running wild
But it was too late as I met my fate
And the ball started gettin' hot
But through the sparks and the flame
I knew that the claim
Of the Master of Sparks was gone
Hot, Blue and Righteous Lyrics
[Verse]
Hot, blue and righteous
An angel called me aside
Hot, blue and righteous
Said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide"
I heard the words as I closed my eyes
Down on my, down on my bended knees
It fit like a glove and I realized
Something good's happening to me
[Instrumental Break 2:03-2:31]
[Outro]
Hot, blue and righteous
An angel called me aside
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Move Me on Down the Line Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I hear that Santa Fe start blowing
I wonder where it's been
And where it's going
[Chorus]
I tell you boy, every time
The feelin' sure is fine
Just move me on down the line
Just move me on down the line
[Verse 2]
Then I heard that rooster start his crowing
Around the curve that cloud
Of smoke was blowing
[Chorus]
I tell you boy, every time
The feelin' sure is fine
Just move me on down the line
Just move me on down the line
[Instrumental Break 1:04-1:46]
[Verse 3]
I'll be where the big wheels keep on turnin'
And the diesel drivers
Keep them engines burnin'
[Chorus]
I tell you boy, every time
The feelin' sure is fine
Just move me on down the line
Just move me on down the line
[Outro]
Move me on down the line
Move me on down
Move me on down the line
Move me on down
Move me on down the line
Move me on down
Move me on down the line
Move me on down
Move me on down the line
Move me on down
Precious and Grace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Riding top the floodway on a Friday night
The landscape's a fine and natural sight
Just cruising slow through the dark of night
With Precious and Grace everything's all right
[Verse 2]
Good God Almighty
We was going down slow
Yeah, if we knew just where we had to go
Crying, just a flying down a put out road
With Precious and Grace in my flathead Ford
[Instrumental Break 1:02-1:45]
[Verse 3]
So if you're out rolling late some night
Yeah, and you need that supernatural delight
I'm talking to you, brother
I know somebody's, they's just out of sight
Get with Precious and Grace
They gonna to treat you right
[Instrumental Outro 2:11-3:09]
La Grange Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rumor spreading round in that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talking about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They gotta lotta nice girls
Have mercy
A-haw haw haw-haw
Heh, a-haw haw-haw
[Verse 2]
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in
A hmm, hmm
And I hear it's tight most every night
But now I might be mistaken
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Have mercy
[Instrumental Outro: 1:13-3:50]
Shiek Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met a shiek from Mozambique
Who led me to the Congo
He dreamed to go to Mexico
And sample a burrito
My temperature had risen again
It must have been a hundred and ten
[Verse 2]
Under the oaks I was telling some jokes
And thinking I had it made
Getting on with the folks, having some Coke
Cooling off in the shade
My temperature had risen again
And it must have been a hundred and ten
Hmm
[Instrumental Break 1:08-2:41]
[Verse 3]
I took a boat that couldn't float
To Rio de Janeiro
So with my scuba I swam to Cuba
But I'll be gone tomorrow
My temperature had risen again
It must have been a hundred and ten
[Instrumental Outro 3:07-4:06]
Have You Heard? Lyrics
[Chorus]
Have you heard about Jo Ti Mahr?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, then you could not be lost
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse]
Which way are you comin' from?
Goin' up or gettin' down?
Well, have you thought about it some
Or have you put it down?
[Chorus]
Have you heard about Heaven?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Seven come eleven
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Break 1:26-1:57]
[Chorus]
Have you heard, dear brother?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, let's help one another
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Have you heard? Oh yeah
