Title
- Not a day goes by I don't think about you
- You left your mark on me it's permanent a tattoo
- Pierce the skin and the blood runs through
- Oh my baby
- The way you move it's right in time
- The way you move it's right in time
- It's right in time with me
- I stand over the stove in the kitchen
- Watch the water boil and I listen
- Turn off the television
- Oh my baby
- The way you move it's right in time
- The way you move it's right in time
- It's right in time with me
- I take off my watch and my earrings
- My bracelets and everything
- Lie on my back and moan at the ceiling
- Oh my baby
- Think about you and that long ride
- I bite my nails I get weak inside
- Reach over and turn off the light
- Oh my baby
- The way you move it's right in time
- The way you move it's right in time
- It's right in time with me
- The way you move it's right in time
- The way you move it's right in time
- It's right in time with me
- Sittin' in the kitcken a house in Macon
- Loretta's singing on the radio
- Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Pull the curtains back and look outside
- Somebody somehere I don't know
- Come on now child we're gonna go for a ride
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Can't find a damn thing in this place
- Nothing's where I left it before
- Set of keys and a dusty suitcase
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- There goes the screen door slamming shut
- You better do what you're told
- When I get back this room better be picked-up
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Low hum of voices in the front seat
- Stories nobody knows
- Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Cotton fields stretching miles and miles
- Hank's voice on the radio
- Telephone poles trees and wires fly on by
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Broken down shacks engine parts
- Could tell a lie but my heart would know
- Listen to the dogs barkin in the yard
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Child in the backseat about four or five years
- Lookin out the window
- Little bit of dirt mixed with tears
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- Car wheels on a gravel road
- You can't depend on anything really
- There's no promises there's no point
- There's no good there's no bad
- In this dirty little joint
- No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock
- Rosedale Mississippi Magic City Juke Joint
- Mr Johnson sings over in a corner by the bar
- Sold his soul to the devil so he can play guitar
- Too cool to be forgotten
- Hey hey too cool to be for gotten
- Man running thru the grass outside
- Says he wants to take up serpents
- Says he will drink the deadly thing
- And it will not hurt him
- House rule no exceptions
- No bad language no gambling no fighting
- Sorry no credit don't ask
- Bathroom wall reads is God the answer YES
- Too cool to be forgotten
- Hey hey too cool to be forgotten
- June bug vs hurricane
- June bug vs hurricane
- Hey hey
- I had a lover
- I thought he was mine
- Thought I'd always be his valentine
- Leaning agianst the railing of a Lake Charles bridge
- Overlooking the river leaning over the edge
- He asked me baby would you jump into the water with me
- I told him no way baby that's your own death you see
- Too cool to be forgotten
- Hey hey too cool to be forgotten
- June bug vs hurricane
- June bug vs hurricane
- Hey hey
- Sun came up it was another day
- And the sun went down you were blown away
- Why'd you let go of your guitar
- Why'd you ever let it go that far
- Drunken Angel
- Could've held on to that long smooth neck
- Let your hand remember every fret
- Fingers touching each shiny string
- But you let go of everything
- Drunken Angel
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Followers would cling to you
- Hang around just to meet you
- Some threw roses at your feet
- And watch you pass out on the street
- Drunken Angel
- Feed you and pay off all your debts
- Kiss your brow taste your sweat
- Write about your soul your guts
- Criticize you and wish you luck
- Drunken Angel
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Some kind of savior singing the blues
- A derelict in your duct tape shoes
- Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
- Looking like you didn't care
- Druken Angel
- Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
- Over the strings of your guitar
- The worn down places in the wood
- That once made you feel so good
- Druken Angel
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Drunken Angel
- You're on the other side
- Sun came up it was another day
- And the sun went down you were blown away
- Why'd you let go of your guitar
- Why'd you ever let it go that far
- Drunken Angel Drunken Angel
- This wall divides us
- We're on two different sides
- But this wall is not real
- How can it be real
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Back in Algiers my darling broke my heart
- But he can't seem to break down this wall
- With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all
- And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Down in Opelousas dogs are at the gate
- And they're mean lord they're mean
- There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Somewhere in Louisiana my sugar's doing time
- But he can't spend time with me
- If he could get over this wall he'd see
- That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- Concrete and barbed wire
- It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
- He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles
- He used to talk about it
- He'd just go on and on
- He always said Louisana
- Was where he felt at home
- He was born in Nacogdoches
- That's in East Texas
- Not far from the border
- But he liked to tell everybody
- He was from Lake Charles
- Did an angel whisper in your ear
- And hold you close and take away your fear
- In those long last moments
- We used to drive
- Thru Lafayette and Baton Rouge
- In a yellow El Camino
- Listening to Howling Wolf
- He liked to stop in Lake Charles
- Cause that's the place that he loved
- Did you run about as far as you could go
- Down the Lousiana highway
- Across Lake Pontchartrain
- Now your soul is in Lake Charles
- No matter what they say
- Did an angel whisper in your ear
- And hold you close and take away your fear
- In those long last moments
- He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles
- He used to talk about it
- He'd just go on and on
- He always said Louisana
- Was where he felt at home
- Did an angel whisper in your ear
- And hold you close and take away your fear
- In those long last moments
- Did an angel whisper in your ear
- And hold you close and take away your fear
- In those long last moments
- Told you baby one more time
- Don't make me sit all alone and cry
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- I'm like a fish out of water
- A cat in a tree
- You don't even want to talk to me
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- He won't take me back when I come around
- Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
- I got a big chain around my neck
- And I'm broken down like a train wreck
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- See I got a candle and it burns so bright
- In my window every night
- Well it's over I know but I can't let go
- You don't like to see me standing around
- Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- He won't take me back when I come around
- Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
- I got a big chain around my neck
- And I'm broken down like a train wreck
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- Turn off trouble like you turn off a light
- Went off and left me it just ain't right
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- Rounds every corner something I see
- Bring me right back how it used to be
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- He won't take me back when I come around
- Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
- I got a big chain around my neck
- And I'm broken down like a train wreck
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- He won't take me back when I come around
- Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
- I got a big chain around my neck
- And I'm broken down like a train wreck
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
- I think I lost it
- Let me know if you come across it
- Let me know if I let it fall
- Along a back road somewhere
- Money can't replace it
- No memory can erase it
- And I know I'm never gonna find
- Another one to compare
- Give me some love to fill me up
- Give me some time give me some stuff
- Give me a sign give me some kind of reason
- Are you heavy enough to make me stay
- I feel like I might blow away
- I thought I was in heaven
- But I was only dreamin
- I think I lost it
- Let me know if you come across it
- Let me know if I let it fall
- Along a back road somewhere
- Money can't replace it
- No memory can erase it
- And I know I'm never gonna find
- Another one to compare
- I just wanna live the life I please
- I don't want no enemies
- I don't want nothin if I have to fake it
- Never take nothin don't belong to me
- Everything's paid for nothing free
- If I give my heart
- Will you promise not to break it
- I think I lost it
- Let me know if you come across it
- Let me know if I let it fall
- Along a back road somewhere
- Money can't replace it
- No memory can erase it
- And I know I'm never gonna find
- Another one to compare
- Money can't replace it
- No memory can erase it
- And I know I'm never gonna find
- Another one to compare
- Once we rode together
- In a metal firecracker
- You told me I was your queen
- You told me I was your biker
