Well the gold coast boys They make all the noise When they get down to playing those blues And it's a wonderful sound when the heat dies down Just sit and have a drink with you Well come on baby won't you be my lady Sit under the sycamore tree I got all these ideas about how to please you If you spend some time with me And it's a cold, cold day in hell It's a cold, cold day in hell I'm a gold coast swinger never meant to be a singer But I think I can stay in key Well keep up now we're still getting down just need some more room to breathe Well pass me that cigarette and lend me a light Cause it looks like we might just be up all night And just cause I don't want none doesn't mean that I ain't got some It's the same old score for sure And it's a cold, cold day in hell It's a cold, cold day in hell It's a cold, cold day in hell

Delilah 03:51
Said Delilah With those cold, cold eyes I want it my way And I promise I won't put up Much of a fight I got 16 Keys in the back Of my car & the sheriff Keeps asking me Where I got these scars Sitting At the station Waiting For my train to take me home When the Lights went out & that fight broke out I was bleeding she was crying and the body it was lieing on the floor cold as stone Saw it on the news when I got Home So Delilah Won't you take me home tonight? Got one last chance One last romance And I'm headed south with the morning light I got 16 Keys in the back Of my car & the sheriff Keeps asking me Where I got these scars Sitting At the station Waiting For my train to take me home When the Lights went out & that fight broke out I was bleeding she was crying and the body it was lieing on the floor cold as stone So won't you please take me home

Well come on girl won't you show me your world I been biding my time just waiting For You We can talk all night till we see sunlight With a bottle of bourbon that's split For 2 Oh and the sunlight Comes through those blinds And I cover my eyes To protect my sight You walk out the door Never seen you before Don't know you name but I'm So glad you came 12 hours gone Drinking till the sun Well you might not believe it's true but I'm in Love With you Been wandering round all over town Nobody seems to no anything About you The party life doesn't quite feel right Unless you take the time to drink For 2 Oh and the sunlight Comes through those blinds And I cover my eyes To protect my sight You walk out the door Never seen you before Don't know you name but I'm So glad you came 12 hours gone Drinking till the sun Well you might not believe it's true but I'm in Love With you

Got bronze in my pocket Got bronze in my shoes Got bronze in my whiskey Keeping me down in the blues Got bronze in my cigarettes And bronze in my bones When I lay my head down at night This bronze is cold as stone oh lord Said this bronze is cold as stone Well she took my gold and my silver Took my health and my pride Took everything that made me a man And left me staring in the devil's eyes Oh staring in the devil's eyes oh lord Said staring in the devil's eyes Got mud on my doorstep Been there all my life Oh I'd try and clean it up but I live where the sun don't shine Well my baby done left me Left me nothing but my shoes Took my gold and silver And now I got bronze and blues oh lord Now I got bronze and blues Well she took my gold and my silver Took my health and my pride Took everything that made me a man And left me staring in the devil's eyes Oh staring in the devil's eyes oh lord Said staring in the devil's eyes Well I went out walking Walking for days and days Bottle of Jack and my old walking shoes Keeping the devil at bay oh lord Said keeping the devil at bay Well she took my gold and my silver Took my health and my pride Took everything that made me a man And left me staring in the devil's eyes Oh staring in the devil's eyes oh lord Said staring in the devil's eyes

Cherry Ho 03:43
Met a man one day way back in '42 Piece of street scum always on the run Wasn't much that he wouldn't do Well he met this gal with a pretty smile Thought she was mighty fine And he was sly enough to get between the sheets Without spending a dime Ho cherry ho little lady I'll be rolling on Ho cherry ho little lady afore the break of dawn Boy in '64 was a soldier in Vietnam Poor kid got drafted Three days before his high school prom Well he knew that he might die And so he new what he better do So he hit the streets of Saigon Looking for a girl to cure his bootstrap blues Ho cherry ho little lady I'll be rolling on Ho cherry ho little lady afore the break of dawn

Smile 04:30
I've been stuck in this rainy day for a while Been a long time since I felt myself smile Don't know why I've played this game so long Here I am without a plan and lonely I roam But it's another rainy day And I'm just trying to chase the clouds away Little darlin won't you go my way for a while So I can spend some time in your sweet southern smile Don't know why I've played this game so long But you just might be the one who can help me move on But it's another rainy day And I'm just trying to chase the clouds away So darlin won't you go my way We can chase all the clouds away And darlin won't you come and say That you'll stay and go my way

Walking down this golden road Not quite sure which way to go Looking round through the trees But all I see is me All I see Come on down to my cave With a whiskey kicker I feel so brave So much uncertainty just trying Trying not to breathe So you see Well it's clothespin rock and roll takes so long to fill your soul I don't know which way to go inside a penitentiary surrounded by broken dreams I don't know which way to go oh no Look into a mirror trying to see clearer Feel like I'm just wasting time all I see Are these little white lines Wasting time Broken bottles and bloody knees Stuck inside my head it seems Am I awake or am I just going down Underground Leaving town Well it's clothespin rock and roll takes so long to fill your soul I don't know which way to go inside a penitentiary surrounded by broken dreams I don't know which way to go oh no

Train Song 04:37
Can't afford no train Can't afford no train Oh I'm living on a dollar a day Drink my blues away Can't afford no train Can't afford no train Can't afford no train Can't spare a nickle can't spare a dime Spent it all on a damn good time Can't afford no train But it's a long long way to go And I'm trying to get on home I know I done you wrong I know I done you wrong Spent my life chasing songs Drinking whiskey and getting stoned I know I done you wrong You know you did me wrong You know you did me wrong Took my heart home in a jar Took it out and ripped it apart You know you did me wrong But it's a long long way to go And I'm trying to get on home And if I only could Oh if I only would If I only could If I only would Can't afford no train Can't afford no train Oh I'm living on a dollar a day Drink my blues away Can't afford no train

Well come on sexy mama said don't you worry now Hurricane slim is coming back to town Pocket full of pills and he'll spread the wealth around Give us all a chance to pay our bills down I got debts keep piling up but ain't gonna worry now My lovely little lady keeps my feet on the ground But you know lately she keeps on slipping out Open up the front door and the back door slams realy loud She was thick as thieves with a backwoods junkie Down on her luck and I was starting to worry I was wasting time on a worthless dream Cause a redneck romance ain't never what it seems Old junkie Joe was feelin low outside the whiskey store Spied my little lady with another man in tow Eyes went wide in deep surprise and he whistled low and slow Hitched up his gut and tried to keep up to see where they might go Down the street in the noonday heat they strode without a word Old junkie Joe behind them with eyes on my girl Down to the river to an old and rusty shack They were making love on a bed of nails with whiskey in the back She was thick as thieves with a backwoods junkie Down on her luck and I was starting to worry I was wasting time on a worthless dream Cause a redneck romance ain't never what it seems She was thick as thieves with a backwoods junkie Down on her luck and I was starting to worry I was wasting time on a worthless dream Cause a redneck romance ain't never what it seems

Mirror 04:18
On the last by and by When that last lonely whistle cries Pick you up and I'll take you down To this lonely little town Everyone lies on death's door Nothing works quite right anymore And the only way to seize the day Is to sleep the whole long lonely thing away On the last by and by When that last lonely whistle cries Pick you up and I'll take you down To this lonely little town Everyone lies on death's door Nothing works quite right anymore And the only way to seize the day Is to drink the whole long lonely thing away On the last by and by When that last lonely whistle cries Pick you up and I'll take you down To this lonely little town
