Track Lyrics
It’s Only Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
Sweet things trying to put me out
She gone and found herself another man
She trying to let me down as fast as she can
[Chorus]
It's only love, it drives me crazy
It's only love pretty baby
Baby, what you trying to do
[Verse 2]
Well after runnin’ round a time or two
I found out only the best will do
Well it's your own fault for letting her go
So maybe now you'll take it slow
[Chorus]
It's only love, it drives me crazy
It's only love pretty baby
Baby, what you trying to do
[Instrumental Break 1:37-2:23]
[Verse 3]
Well, it's all over now but the crying
I keep on paying the price for my lying
Don't let it get you down it ain't nothing new
You ain't the only one that it's happened to
[Chorus]
It's only love, it drives me crazy
It's only love pretty baby
Baby, what you trying to do
[Instrumental Break 2:56-3:40]
[Outro]
It's only love (Hey, hey)
It drives me crazy (Yeah)
It's only love (It's only love, it’s only love)
(Yeah, yeah) It drives me crazy
It's only love (Say it now), it drives me crazy
It's only love, pretty baby
Baby, what you trying to do?
Arrested for Driving While Blind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're driving
Down the highway at night
And you're feeling that wild turkey's bite
Don't give Johnny Walker a ride
'Cause Jack Black is right by your side
You might get taken to the jailhouse and find
You've been arrested for driving while blind
[Verse 2]
Now just the other night with nothing to do
We broke a case of proof 102
And started itching for that wonderful feel
Of rolling in an automobile
You could say we was out of our mind
And let me tell you we were flying while blind
[Instrumental Break 0:47-1:29]
[Verse 3]
Then they had us up against the wall
Hey, it's only blood grain alcohol
And there ain't no cause for alarm
We ain't out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for driving while blind?
[Instrumental Outro 1:51-3:06]
El diablo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you ever hear the story
That happened not long ago
About the man with a tan
El Diablo de Mexico?
And this man played his hand
And he lived by the luck of the draw
Now and then and again
Found him stepping outside of the law
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
And his fortune he had made
Let him live high on the hog
'Til the day of the raid
When they hunted him like a dog
He was out on the run
Knowing he could get by
Because the men killed in sin
Were not there to testify
Hey, hey
[Instrumental Break 1:08-2:22]
[Verse 3]
He was caught, he was bound
In La Casa de Calaboose
He was tried, he was found
And readied for the noose
But the break he would make
It didn't turn out so well
And the hombre called "Diablo"
Bid his last farewell
[Instrumental Outro 2:41-4:21]
Snappy Kakkie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Do you wanna play?
I say hey, snappy kakkie
I said what you say
The water she is nice, we can steal away
They'll never know we're gone
Until the break of day
Come on, come on
[Verse 2]
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Did they talk to you today?
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Did you see it their way?
The moon she is high, we must leave tonight
We must get away, we will join the fight
Well come on, come on
[Verse 3]
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Did our brothers stay?
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Will our sisters pay?
Does it really matter of the friends we lost?
It doesn't really matter
Cause their souls were lost
So come on, come on
[Instrumental Break 1:22-2:35]
[Outro]
I say hey, snappy kakkie
Do you wanna play?
I say hey, snappy kakkie
I said here’s what you say
The water she is nice we can steal away
They'll never know we're gone
Until the break of day
So come on
Enjoy and Get It On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I’m making my way back home
Least that's what I told her on the phone
Been a while since I made her smile
And I know she gonna dig my style
Could she enjoy baby
Really enjoy getting it on
[Verse 2]
Could I get some may then ala mode
When I come in off the road
Do she still have her fighting gear?
Just one look is gonna make it clear
She would enjoy baby
Really enjoy getting it on
[Instrumental Break 1:13-1:48]
[Verse 3]
How does it feel holding me again?
She's holding on like it gonna never end
Well, I’m home thinking I should stay
While I’m here just let me hear you say
Say you enjoyed baby
Really enjoy getting it on
[Instrumental Outro 2:13-3:25]
Ten Dollar Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mister ten dollar man
With that gold in your hand
Coming around here after sunlight
With your peaches and your pream
And your rolling magazine
Telling me you'll make me feel alright
Now, you'll make me feel alright
[Verse 2]
Mister ten dollar man
With a girl by the hand
Will this ten-spot take her away?
With his slaver's finance
He winked, said take a chance
Don't you know it happens every day
I said it happens every day, hey, oh!
[Instrumental Break 1:30-2:33]
[Verse 3]
Mister ten dollar man
With the gun in your hand
Can I get a case of those tonight?
And now you've got the order
I said it's time to slip the border
Don't you know it happens every day
I said it happens every day, yeah
[Instrumental Outro 2:55-3:41]
Pan Am Highway Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've gotten good at missing her
I practice all the time
While I drive the Pan Am highway through
With that cactus friend of mine
It's getting hard to see
The white line rolling by
I can't forget her memory deep inside
[Verse 2]
I dropped a bundle down in Panama
But the loss didn't do me no good
Spendin’ cash and talkin’ trash
Don't do it like it should
I realized I just couldn't buy her smile
I'll keep trying on that Pan Am mile by mile
[Instrumental Break 1:19-1:56]
[Verse 3]
If she'd meet me in San Salvador
I'd buy her a drink or two
We'd talk about our used to be
And ride on to Peru
The time to get it right is here and now
And if she won't I'll move on anyhow
[Instrumental Outro 2:25-3:15]
Avalon Hideaway Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody breathing down my neck
While I’m trying to roll the bones
I don't care I'll just float a check
'Cause I’m feeling my Gambling Jones
Here come seven, gimme eleven come again
Love to hideout where I am
My own best friend
[Verse 2]
There's crazy little Linda Lou
With the long and lanky legs
Nobody do it like Linda do
At these backwoods lone star dregs
Like I told you, head out FM 92
Roll in slowly, you'll be safer if you do
Hey, ho, mmm, oh
[Instrumental Break 1:35-2:16]
[Verse 3]
If you don't know what I’m talking about
Let me ease your worried mind
It's the place to go without a doubt
But it's a little bit hard to find
Back in the timber, once you're there
You'll wanna stay
Get loose and limber anytime night or day
[Outro]
Just remember, ask for the avalon hideaway
She’s a Heartbreaker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She used to drive a beat up pickup
Down around San Antone
Stealing the heart of every guy in town
Including the one I own
But this sweet young thing of seventeen
Would sting you with the lovesick blues
Just a blonde haired blue eyed picture of sin
Looking for someone to use
[Chorus]
She's a lover and fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I’m wondering why she left me
Such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
But she can break a heart
And take all the love she needs
[Verse 2]
Well, I heard she got down in Beaumont
And she wound up in El Paso
She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the Cotton Eyed Joe
If you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
Cause before too long she'll be good as gone
And running with another man
[Chorus]
She's a lover and fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I’m wondering why she left me
Such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
But she can break a heart
And take all the love she needs
[Outro]
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
But she can break a heart
And take all the love she needs
