On a Tuesday mornin'
Sun's going down
Can't see nobody
Nothin' around
I know that I
Am safe and sound
'Cause the flower grows where I
Am home bound
No there ain't nothing like getting stoned and drinking coffee
Need no sugar baby
'Cause I got you
No there ain't nothing like getting stoned and drinking coffee
Need no sugar baby
'Cause I got you
You know that I am
Being true
'Cause you got me babe
And I got you
You know that I've worked all my life
Just to keep me and you
Satisfied
The clock is stuck and
I don't know the time
The fire's gone out and there
Goes the light
Maybe I'm a fool
What else could I do
I'm just not ready to say goodbye to you
No there ain't nothing like getting stoned and drinking coffee
Need no sugar baby
'Cause I got you

35 Highway

Well that 35 Highway
Longest road I know
Well that 35 Highway
Longest road I know
It'll take you from Kansas City
On down to San Antone
Well my baby left me
She gone up North to stay
Well my baby left me
She gone up North to stay
Since she left up North for Lincoln
Blues got me every day
Yes I'm leaving the station
Lord I ain't ever coming back
Well I'm leaving the station
Mama I ain't ever coming back
Well you can see black clouds rolling
Right off that old smoke stack
Oh Lord I miss my baby
You know it's been too long
Well I miss my baby
You know it's been so long
Yes I'll leave my blues in Forth Worth
And roll back down to San Antone

Jupiter Mission

Floating through the seas of space-time
Wishing that I wasn't quite so high
Gathered alone in perfect condition
I waited for my Jupiter mission

The Dragon and the Flea
02:35
|

Saw an old woman
Here's what she said to me
Saw an old woman
Here's what she said to me
Don't talk to that dragon
And keep your eye on the flea
Well I went down walking
Down by that old willow tree
Well I went down walking
Down by that old willow tree
Dug up that body
Finally set that old soul free
Well they took me to jail
Slept next to Old Man Jones
Yeah they took me to jail
Slept next to Old Man Jones
He said to me
"Wasn't for the Devil, we'd be alone."

Alone and Stoned
02:17
|
|||
I can't quit you
Even though that I tried
Your love is like a drug
It keeps me satisfied
One day I'll learn
To leave you alone
Until that day comes
You know I'm here alone and stoned
Alone and stoned
That's how I get by
I live every day
Just to come home and die
Alone and stoned
Where do I end
I just might come back
To where I was again
I can't say
Much anymore
About the clothes you wear
When you walk through my door
I don't know

Well I hear that train a-coming
Comin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I'm bound to stay and die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well now when I was a baby
My mama told me "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry
Well now if I was the railroad
If that old freight train was mine
I think I'd get it movin'
Just a little down the line
But I knew I had it coming
I had to carry on
And now I hear the whistle blowing
A-down to San Antone
Well my mama, she done told me
Papa done told me too
Son, that gal you're fooling with
She ain't no good for you
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
Well I stand at my window
Hang my head and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say goodbye
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
Well now one of these mornings
Lord it won't be long
Gonna look for me baby
And daddy will be gone
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do

Lefty
02:16

Back in Utah
He was a man
Fought like no other
With only his left hand
One too many fights
Got him in jail
Twenty-one days he sat alone
Waiting for his bail
When he was in the pen
He picked up the guitar
Learned in twenty-one days
He knew he was gonna go far
A Southpaw guitarist
With no excuse
Singing his song
He had nothing to lose
His baby
That he loved
Left him singing
Singing the blues
Says she didn't want him anymore
Guess he did have someone to lose
Found his girl
Out in the West
She had dark brown eyes
With beauty, she was blessed
He couldn't provide
What she needed
Not for her babe
Her heart's conceited
No woman
Knows the sorrow
They have left
On this man
He couldn't do anything
But love with his left hand

One summer day
She went away
Gone and left me
She's gone to stay
She's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh that summer
Worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas
In my overalls
She's gone
But I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town
Work done got too hard
She's gone
But I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Puff of Smoke

Old Man Jones
Lived in a home
Old Man Jones
He lived all alone
Old Man Jones
He was alone
There was a dragon
That was a-bragging
There was a dragon but
He was just capping
There was a dragon
There was a dragon
Caught him lacking
That old dragon was the baddest motherfucker to ever live
That old dragon was the baddest motherfucker to ever live
He said come and take it
I best won't mistake it
He said come and take it
Your neck I'll, break it
He said come and take it
He said come take it
The dragon awoke
In a puff of smoke
The dragon awoke
Old man started to choke
The dragon awoke
Took another toke
Old Man Jones was the baddest motherfucker to ever live
Old Man Jones was the baddest motherfucker to ever live
Old Man Jones was the baddest motherfucker to ever live
Old Man Jones was the baddest motherfucker ever to live

Worried Man
03:48
|

Well some people tell me
The worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst feeling
I most ever have
Well I woke up this morning
With my hands tied around my back
Sitting in an unfamiliar place
I saw that smile
Climb across your face
You took me away
Out from where I came
To where I needed to go
I got grass in my crib
I got leaves in my patch
It takes a worried man
To sing him a worried song
You got me worried now
But I won't be worried long
Now some like Chicago
Gotta love Nashville, Tennessee
Give me Fort Worth, Texas
Where the women think the world of me
