Oh My Lord (Live)

I was coming off the wagon the other night
She was headed up to my house
I was sad cause I lost a good friend
She was mad cause I was high again
She said Oh My lord, this ain't the right way to grieve.
Oh My Lord, she helped me up off my knees
We hit the road on a dusty trail
Up 65, to Tennessee
Lightning lit up the evening sky
Smoky Mountains had us both bone dry
She sang Oh My Lord this lonesome road feels so free.
Oh Lord, then she told me she loved me
We were raised up the same way
Southern blood in our veins
We say that God has mysterious ways to things we can't explain
She said Oh My Lord, well honey just please. Oh My Lord, take a second just breathe
Oh My Lord, maybe change'll be good for me
Oh My Lord, cause there's something out there I need
Oh My Lord

Well, I think I'm getting old, things don't excite me like they used to
Money, drugs, and rock n roll, ain't all that they're cracked up to
Where did my friends go?
They cut their hair, and got a job, so I cut my hair too
Where did my friends go?
They cut their hair, quit singing songs, now they're miserable
So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
I hear it's beautiful this time of year
Cause I think I'm growing cold
Things don't heat me up quite like they used to
New cities, women, and open roads, they only make me think about you
Tell me where did my friends go?
They cut their hair, and got a job, so I got me a haircut too
Where did my friends go?
They cut their hair, quit singing songs, now they're miserable and I don't wanna be miserable no
So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
I hear it's beautiful this time of year
I think I'm growing cold... I just want the flame to burn like it used to...
So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go, oh
Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go
I know it's beautiful this time of year
Oh, this time of year
Yeah, this time of year
Oh, this time of year
Won't you take me there

Cruise On (Live)
06:16

Well, your wandering minds got you late again, and the dogs barking at your door
You better turn the lock, don't let him in, cause you got to go and hit the road
You know a day spent off is wasted
If your feet don't move, you sink
You like the way you feel when you walk on the edge and your body's right near the brink
Cruise on my brother
With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair
Cruise on down to another
City where you've got some good people waiting there
Move on
Well, it's getting harder and harder, just to make a new way these days
When everybody's in the same lane and they're moving in the same way
But keep your focus on, and keep your eyes ahead
Learn to shift when you need to turn
I guess it's true what they say in life
Boy you got to just live and learn
Cruise on my brother
With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair
Cruise on down to another
City where you've got some good people waiting there
Move on now
Cruise on my brother
With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair
Cruise on down to another
City where you've got some good people waiting there
Cruise on my brother
With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair
Cruise on down to another
City where you've got some good people waiting there
Waiting there for you

Atlantic City (Live)

Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
And there's trouble busing in from out of state
And the DA can't get no relief
There's gonna be a rumble on the promenade
And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth
And everything dies, baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I got a job and I put my money away
But I got the kinda debt no honest man can pay
So, I drew out all I had from that central trust
And I bought us two tickets down on that co-city bus
And everything dies, baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Our luck may have died, and our love may grow cold
But honey with you forever I'll stay
We're going out west where the sand turns to gold
Put your stockings on cause it might get cold
Everything dies, baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I been looking for a job, but it's so hard to find
Cause there's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
And I'm tired of getting caught out on that losing end
But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
Everything dies, baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Everything dies, honey that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I said everything dies, baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back
Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, won't you meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, honey meet me tonight in Atlantic City

I'm a southern man and I like to ramble
A natural born son of a gun and too hard to handle
I out-work my pay every single day
And come hell or high water I'm gonna find away
No, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need
I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen
I hit the highway running with a five-piece band
Four shows a week, three sheets to the wind
Two steppin' all night while I sing my song
And of you ain't having fun, you're doing it wrong
No, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need
I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen
I'm always gonna have another hill to climb
So, I keep my head up and enjoy the ride
I soak in the sunshine and the rain
And I try to find the good in everything
You know, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need
I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen
I want some Colorado evergreen
Get me some Colorado evergreen
I want some Colorado evergreen
Yeah!

People say I'm not good
Crazy as a loon
Cause I get stoned in the morning
Hell I get drunk every afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
I ain't got me no money, but I damn sure got it made
I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone
I heard the preacher man talking on the TV, putting down on the rock n roll
He says he wants me to send a donation, cause he's worried about my soul
He told me Jesus walked on the waterwell yes sir I know that's true
Sometimes I think that Ol' preacher man might like to do a little walking too
And I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone
Now I heard a poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl likes to flirt
And Rich boys go to college and us poor boys come to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants a vote
I don't want me nothing at all, but I will take another toke, brother
I aint asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone
If you don't like the way that we're living
Go on and leave us long-haired country boys alone
Go on and leave us alone
And I got to run and keep on hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let em catch me no
I'm not gonna let em catch me now
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And that road goes on forever
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let em catch me no
I'm not gonna let em catch me now
No I'm not gonna let em catch me no
Not gonna let em catch me now

Shaky Hands (Live)

Baby let me be your passion
Let me be all you need
Reach your hands out and heal me, roll me in your love, sweet lady I'm begging you please
I really wanna be on your side, lady will you stand on mine
Write your name in the mirror, draw a little clearer, cross it with your bright line
I said baby, you got something that I think'll go good with me
So, lady don't you worry, we'll walk on down this road
We'll be alone, but not afraid, the fire's in our bones
But please, don't you let your hands shake
I can see your skin through the darkness
I can feel your lips on mine
I wanna feel the rhythm of your heartbeat, know just how to start me, so buckle up and take your ride, ride, ride, ride
Gonna take a ride outta here
I said baby, you got something that I think'll go good with me
I said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby ooh you got what I need
Lady don't you worry, we'll walk on down this road
We'll be alone, but not afraid, the fire's in our bones
But please, don't you let your hands shake
Honey, please, please, please
I'll keep your shaky hands still
I said baby, you got something that I think'll go good with me
Yes I do, yes I do
I said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby you got what I need
Just what I need
Baby you know you do
Baby let me be your passion
Let me be all you need
Reach your hands out and heal me, roll me in your love, sweet lady I'm begging you
Please
Don't you let your hands shake
