It's Only Love
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
I'm gonna tell ya what it's all about Sweet thang's tryin' to put me out She gone and found herself another man She tryin' to let me down as fast as she can It's only love, it drives me crazy It's only love pretty baby Baby, what you tryin' to do Well after runnin' round a time or two I found out only the best will do Well it's your own fault for lettin' her go So maybe now you'll take it slow It's only love, it drives me crazy It's only love pretty baby Baby, what you tryin' to do Well, it's all over now but the cryin' I keep on payin' the price for my lyin' Don't let it get you down it ain't nothin' new You ain't the only one that it's happened to It's only love, it drives me crazy It's only love pretty baby Baby, what you tryin' to do
Arrested for Driving While Blind
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
When you're driving down the highway at night And you're feelin' 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 Now just the other night with nothin' to do We broke a case of proof 102 And started itchin' for that wonderful feel Of rollin' in an automobile You could say we was out of our mind And let me tell you we were flyin' while blind 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 drivin' while blind
El Diablo
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
Did you ever hear the story That happened not long ago 'bout 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 steppin' outside of the law Hey, hey! 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, 'Cause the men killed in sin were not there to testify. Hey, hey! 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.
Snappy Kakkie
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie! Do you wanna play? I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie! I said whatcha' say! The water she is nice we can steal away They'll never know we're gone 'til the break 'o day Come on! Come on! 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 tonite We must get away, we will join the fight Come on! Come on! 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 Come on! Come on! I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie! Do you wanna play? I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie! I say Hey! watcha' say! The water she is nice we can steal away They'll never know we're gone til the break 'o day So come on!
Enjoy and Get it On
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
Oh I'm makin' 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 you enjoy baby Really enjoy gettin' it on Could I get some pie ala mode When I come in off the road Do she still have her fightin' gear Just one look is gonna make it clear If she would enjoy baby Really enjoyed gettin' it on How does it feel holdin' me again She's holdin' on like it gonna never end Well I'm home thinkin' I should stay While I'm here just let me hear you say Say you enjoyed baby Really enjoyed gettin' it on
Ten Dollar Man
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
Mister Ten Dollar Man with that gold in your hand, Comin' 'round here after sunlight With your peaches and your Pream And your rollin' magazine, Tellin' me you'll make me feel alright. Now, you'll make me feel alright 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 ev'ry day. I said it happens ev'ry day. Mister Ten Dollar Man with that 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
Pan Am Highway Blues
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
I've gotten good at missin' her I practice all the time While I drive the Pan Am highway thru With that cactus friend of mine It's gettin' hard to see the white line rollin' by I can't forget her memory deep inside 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 tryin' on that Pan Am mile by mile 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 If she won't I'll move on anyhow
Avalon Hideaway
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
Somebody breathin' down my neck While I'm tryin' to roll the bones I don't care I'll just float a check Cause I'm feelin' my gamblin' Jones Here come seven, gimme eleven come again Love to hideout where I am my own best friend 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 If you don't know what I'm talkin' 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 Just remember, ask for the Avalon hideaway
She's a Heartbreaker
(Gibbons — Hill — Beard)
She used to drive a beat up pickup Down around San Antone Stealin' the heart of every guy in town Includin' 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 Lookin' for someone to use She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker She can break a heart and take all the love she needs 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 runnin' with another man She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
