1.
I was born two hundred pounds heavy wearin' blacktop asphalt shoes In a home on the side of the levee where I learned how to sing the blues Every night when the sun went down we would drink til we had our fill A Mason jar full of sweet white lightnin' coming straight off of the still I left home fourteen years old determined to make it far Kicked my boots down hwy 20 carryin' this here guitar Been picked up my share of times by women and cops alike Never stayed long, yeah I like it wrong I escape into the night
2.
I went out to Yazoo City To find my Mississippi queen All I found was a note on the door So I drove straight to New Orleans One time too many, two times too soon I caught up with Cajun Willie He showed me where to get my fill He said, "well I got plenty," "And if you won't, you know I will" One time too many, two times too soon
3.
She can get it in the mornin' She can get it in the nighttime She don't wanna be alone Any time is the right time She shows up late to the party She does whatever she feels She's gonna get something started That's when you know it's real Can't you feel it, baby? Can't you feel it when you're alone Can't you feel it, baby? Can't you feel it coming home? She's gonna shake it on the table She's gonna writhe on the floor She's gonna listen to her body You know she wants some more But she's gone in the morning The place is locked up tight She was late to the party But she'll be back tonight
4.
She's always saying "baby I gotta go" And then I find her on the side of the road I never wanna see it taking control The moon sets and you crawl back in your hole You wanna go back to reality You wanna go back to your soul You wanna go back to reality You wanna go back to your hole Turn off the lights, don't wanna see anymore Her narrow vision cutting right to the floor Half-empty glasses help her contact the pour Released her quest there's no rights left to explore
5.
At seventeen you're feelin' restless At twenty-one you head downtown At twenty-five she leaves you breathless At twenty-seven you're going down To satisfy your wishful thinkin' You let yourself in on the joke You take every kind of drink And never be the last one to croak
6.
She's been sayin' she loved somebody Someone just like me So I told her the worst was over And let me plant my seed She stood and looked me over She looked me down and up "I can give you what you're looking for" "Baby you're in luck" Little darlin' I know you still taste it When you close your eyes But there's nothin' like the first time, honey Under Indica skies
7.
I know you think that everything is about you And you're the center of the world With your makeup and your high heeled boots on Something had to die for that fur I see you dancin' and you look my way I see your little teasin' twirl Now you're advancin', you can't hear me say You're just a knockabout girl I settle up you better pay your own Your money's just as green as mine Ain't spendin' double for the same results Either way I'm gonna have a good time That's right I'm leavin' don't you try to stop me You know you're either coming or not Yeah you got fashion girl but I have style And you're one thing that I already got
8.
Tried dat voodoo tried dat voodoo You know it ain't for me Tried dat voodoo tried dat voodoo You know it's just make believe But you got to give credit where credit is due They can lay one hell of a guilt trip on you Tried dat voodoo tried dat voodoo Learned that nothing is free Tried dat voodoo tried dat voodoo Yeah they're gonna crucify me But you got to give credit where credit is due
9.
Speedin' through the desert in a souped up '74 Tach up, pedal down, listen to the engine roar She's right behind me in a bored out '62 Yeah she's gonna show me just what to do She caught up doin' ninety in a fifty-five I said "Ooh who taught this hot rod mama to drive?" We pulled over to the side and I introduced myself "Name of Truck, just your luck." Now we're drivin' straight to hell
10.
Kickin' It 02:31
Hear a sound in your room but there's nobody there You gotta quit this soon yeah but nobody cares Hocked your bed hocked your chair yeah you sleep on the floor Got a sheet got a spike never need any more Burnin' loud, itchin' stick and you're out of dough You sleep bad you see blurred you got nowhere to go Lick it stick it breathe it kick it, no not anytime soon Takin' breakin' alienating everyone you know
11.
Last Day 03:35
You wanna give me A black eye Continue livin' your sci-fi nightmare Today's the last day If today's the last day Of your life Would you decay? Or would you rise? And you're lost in a world of your own creation Inside of a glow And you're lost in a world of your own Creation inside of a glow
12.
Feel the weight crash down on your shoulders A void forms in your chest Sockets suckin' on the back of your eyeballs Pressure defying your breath Power leaking out slowly but wholly It leaves you powerless But no one will grieve you any less
