Bone Dry

=================================================
Ain't no moonshine in my jug
Ain't so sunshine in my sky
There ain't no moonshine in my jug
Ain't no sunshine in my sky
Now I don't mind some cloudy days, lord
But I can't stand to be bone dry
Ain't had no luck in 13 days
Just shy of a fortnight
Ain't had no luck in 13 days
One shy of a fortnight
And I don't think I'll live one more
But lord knows that I've tried
I'm gonna take all of my burdens
Down to Riverside
I'm gonna take all of my burdens
Take 'em down to Riverside
And if I can't afford no plot
The riverbed will suit me fine
There ain't no moonshine in my jug
Ain't so sunshine in my sky
Ain't no moonshine in my jug
Ain't no sunshine in my sky
Now I don't mind some cloudy days, lord
But I can't stand to be bone dry

Up 'til Midnight

=================================================
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna win my sweet baby back
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna lose my mind after that
I'm gonna walk on down
To the station;
I'm gonna ride on that Eastbound train
I'm gonna make my way
Back to Mobile;
Say goodbye to this heartache & pain
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna win my sweet baby back
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna lose my mind after that
I'm gonna go on down
To the river;
I'm gonna get on my knees & pray
I'm gonna make my peace
With Jesus;
Let him know that I'm on my way
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna win my sweet baby back
I'm gonna take my time
Up 'til midnight;
I'm gonna lose my mind after that

Lucretia

================================================
Lucretia
Tell me now
If I should let you go
Girl if you're gonna leave
You'd better let me know
I've traveled way too far
For you to be that way
Lucretia
Tell me now
If you've got something to say
I've gotta stop;
Take a minute right now
Try to understand
How Lucretia got me nailed
To the palm of her hand
Well if I had some change;
A nickel or a dime
I'd find some other way
To occupy my time
But if I had the choice
Lord if I had to choose
I'd take a shallow grave
Over these wretched blues
I've gotta stop;
Take a minute right now
Try to understand
How Lucretia got me nailed
To the palm of her hand
I've gotta stop;
Take a minute right now
Try to understand
How Lucretia got me nailed
To the palm of her hand

Easy in the Morning
03:10

|
===============================================
Take it easy in the morning
'Til that evenin' pain set in
Take it easy in the morning
'Fore that trouble; it begin
Lord I have so many worries;
Got no time to rest my soul
I take it easy in the morning;
Spend the rest of my night alone
Take it easy in the morning
'Til that evenin' pain set in
Take it easy in the morning
'Fore that trouble; it begin
Lord I have so many worries;
Got no time to rest my soul
Take it easy in the morning;
Spend the rest of my night alone

Rattlesnake
02:32
|

|
================================================
Pull my chain;
Lick my plate;
You break my heart like a rattlesnake
And you send me on my way
Old black man
Settin' in the shade;
You pick me up like a little child
Then you put me in my grave
That old porch swing's still hangin' around;
Creakin' like a whisper in the dark . . .
Hey but I don't mind
If you're runnin' late;
We'll take our time like we used to do;
Like we done yesterday
Pull my chain;
Lick my plate;
You pick me up like a rattlesnake
Then you send me on my way
Old black man
Settin' in the shade;
You break my heart like a little child
And you put me in my grave
That old porch swing's still hangin' around;
Rustin' like a whisper in the dark . . .
Hey but I don't care
If we're runnin' late;
We'll take our time like we used to do;
Like we done yesterday

Layin' Low
03:22
|
|||
|
================================================
Layin' low
Leavin' high
What they all know
I can't deny
Layin' low
Losin' time
But I won't
Get left behind
You've taken all you can from me
I've given all I have to you
A break in life ain't never free
So I'll have to go;
I'm layin' low
Layin' low
Losin' time
What they all know
I can't deny
I just want
To be redeemed
Take me now;
Set me free
You've taken all you can from me
I've given all I have to you
A break in life ain't never free
So I'll have to go;
I'm layin' low

Broken Boy Soldier
05:07
|
|||
|
================================================
I'm pulling off questions from my shelf
And I'm asking forgiveness
I ain't asking nobody but myself
And I want you to know this . . .
And I want you to know this
You rightfully threw a box of toys
That were handed down to me
Just take back the ones you brought and then
Give the rest to my family
I'm gonna go back to school today
But I'm dropping myself off
And I'm throwing the childhood seeds away
I'm through ripping myself off . . .
I'm through ripping myself off
I'm child then man and child again;
The toy broken boy soldier
I'm child and man then child again;
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The broken boy soldier . . .
The boy broken boy soldier . . .
The boy broken toy soldier . . .
The boy broken toy soldier . . .
The boy broken toy soldier . . .
