Cleopatra cryin’ out for what she wants Well she always gets it and sometimes more But what she wants and what she needs are Two different things but she can’t see Cleopatra, Marc Antony A classic love story out of history Cleopatra’s got nothing on you Well you’re twice as beautiful and I love you Yeah you’re twice as beautiful and I love you Pretty Marie said, “Let them eat cake” Off came her head the very next day Don’t lose your head, be careful what you say Why the same thing might happen to you some day Cleopatra She’s got nothing, nothing on you Cleopatra She’s got nothing, nothing on you Sammy lost his hair then he lost his strength Why, a woman brought him down, down to his knees Lose your hair you lose your freedom Lose your hair and you lose what you believe in Cleopatra, Marc Antony A classic love story out of history Cleopatra’s got nothing on you Well you’re twice as beautiful and I love you Yeah you’re twice as beautiful and I love you Well you’re twice as beautiful and I love you

Drunken Head 04:38
lyrics

Get up again in the morning, the joke is on again And I can’t laugh from choking on the things that I might have said There you are on the pillow, there you are on the floor There you are inside me saying all of those things you said before My friends think I’m crazy because I never go outside And when the sun goes down I’m hanging around tryin’ not to think about The nights that keep on coming just like the days I’ve left behind And I’ve got a drunken head full of reasons why I’ve got A broken heart inside There you are, it’s like that: I’ve done what I can do I took the cure that they gave me but it did not do what it was supposed to I took the pills and the liquor like the country western songs said And I took hours of bullshit from the man who examined my head My friends drive me crazy because they think I’m all right. And then the sun goes down and makes it’s way back around coming up again Just like the days that keep on coming like they’ve nothing left to hide And I’ve got a drunken had full of reasons why I’ve got A broken heart inside

Angel & the Devil 03:54
lyrics

I got a devil on my left shoulder And an angel on my right And I’m thinkin’ and I’m wonderin’ which one I’ll be with tonight You know it’s never easy You don’t know which way to go But the devil almost always wins And that just goes to show CHORUS: The choice is there for taking You can choose ‘tween wrong and right The angel gets the morning But the devil wins the night Well I tried to be a good boy But it didn’t work out right It’s hard to be a good boy When you’re gettin’ drunk all night A smile from a pretty girl Mixed with whiskey or with gin Is sure to lead you down That rocky road that leads to sin CHORUS: The choice is there for taking And it’s never easy too Got an angel crying for my soul and the devil sings the blues Now I got good intentions I don’t mean to do no harm But the devil’s whisperin’ in my ear And he’s smilin’ with such charm I’m looking at the bottle Wonderin’ which way I should go But I guess I’m just a weak man And I guess I can’t say no CHORUS CHORUS

On Top of the World 02:51
lyrics

Had a dream I was walkin’ down the street Didn’t know which way to move my feet Thought back on who I used to be Didn’t help me a bit CHORUS: And I say hey now, what you gonna say now Flower’s off the bloom, won’t you sing another tune About the way now, that we’re gonna stay On top of the world tonight Here comes another night, here comes another bar Here comes more drunken words and out of tune guitars Here comes more laughter down the city streets Feels pretty good to me CHORUS Well there’s the moon, it’s a-hanging in the sky just sit back and let my girls wonder why I may be old in just a couple of days Bit I ain’t givin’ it all away CHORUS

Stars 'n' Bars 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Well mama’s in the kitchen, Papa’s in his chair older brother with ducktails, greasing down his hair. Stars and bars and so much foolish pride, passing the time under those southern skies Well how do you keep them down on the farm? Why cook up some collard greens, bread made of corn. Pass another beer throw a log on the fire my eye’s on Sadie, she’s my heart’s desire Kenworth and Peterbilt he’s a truck driving man payin’ his dues in a country band. If the whiskey don’t kill him, then the women surely will does what he likes, does as he feels. Sitting and talking making good company no fussing or fighting, don’t dare to disagree. Give the shirt off his back, do whatever he can he’s stubborn as a goat, he’s a Southern man. Red dirt road down an old rural route the house is falling down, the old car’s worn out the roof’s caving in on the corner store, kudzu vines growing up through the floor. Now that we’re older, we can look back and say how good it was then in those golden days. Sure as we’re born with the graveyard dead remember what we did, forget what we said.

Only a Woman 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Boys I may not be that old but I got a story that should be told though it’s been told a thousand times before It’s all about the big surprise when you look the mirror in the eyes and the mirror says “boy you’re getting old” Don’t you blame it on the liquor like the Mormons say even God’s getting wasted on the Judgment Day I hate to say it but I do believe it’s true only a woman could have done this to you Now I’m just like those other guys and both of us I know we try to be civilized and get on through the day but let a woman get involved and there’ll be problems to be solved and pretty soon your hair is turning gray Don’t you blame it on the night times you sing and dance away you know that’s the only way to make it through the day I hate to say it but I do believe it’s true only a woman could have done this to you So all you boys still running free won’t you learn a thing or two from me don’t answer when they knock upon your door all that glitters is not gold and that perfume’ll make you old and you’ll wonder what the hell you done it for don’t you blame it on the livin’, though it too clean never saw a good time make a man mean I hate to say it but I do believe it’s true only a woman could have done this to you

Well if you’re ever down in South Austin town and you want to pass the time of day there’s a man you should meet down on Oxford Street who can blow your blues away He’ll take you down to Barton Springs maybe he’ll invite you to lunch just drink a beer without any fear he’s the best of Texas Bill bunch Old Bill looked after us wandering types when we passing through we didn’t really know anybody else we were wondering what to do He gave us all beds and pillows for our heads and blankets to keep us warm when it comes to the crunch I’ve got a real hunch I can count on old Bill Bunch Remember me to Travis County say hello to Barton Springs cherish the nights on the old front porch when everybody sings raise a glass at Loca Maria’s praise the Lord at Sunday brunch take a little time to drink some wine with my old friend Bill Bunch Well north of the Colorado River there’s a mighty fine woman to meet she’ll mix you up a margarita with a smile that can’t be beat there’s steak sizzlin’ on the skillet that’ll keep the wolves at bay she’s the hottest little darlin’ in the heart of Texas blue eyes blonde haired Kay Remember me to Travis County say hello to Barton Springs cherish the nights on the old front porch when everybody sings raise a glass at Loca Maria’s praise the Lord at Sunday brunch take a little time to drink some wine with my old friend Bill Bunch

Well when I was a young man I had my foolish ways But now that I am older they ain’t foolish, they’re just crazy I’m trying to make a living and have a little fun But if you’re looking for a lover I ain’t the one Took a lot of time figuring out the things I wanna do I took time to work and time to play, took time to be with you See I don’t mind a load on my back but this one weighs a ton So if you’re looking for a lover I ain’t the one Well I ain’t the one to talk to you And I ain’t the one’s gonna pull you through You want Jesus Christ? I won’t do If you want a fool you got one But if you’re looking for a lover I ain’t the one See life is all about changes, things changing all the time Yeah things they’re always changing and it looks like I done changed my mind I don’t mind running around acting like a fool But I ain’t gonna run around that way more for you It ain’t because you’re broken and it ain’t because you’re bad I just wanted to be happy and you only make me sad and mad I don’t mind running around but you keep me on the run So if you’re looking for a lover I ain’t the one Chorus

Yeah, my good friend come by, he got some killer bud Smoke it on down, now we’re feeling good Cruising down the street, feeling alright All the girls say “These guys are out of sight!” I said, “Hey baby baby come along with me Come back to my crib to see what’s to see” She says her mama’s calling and she must go home So here I am out in the streets alone Cruising down the street sunshine in my face I’m feeling all right yeah I’m in my place Along comes a man in a uniform and says, “Hey, buddy, buddy, you better move along” I said, “I ain’t got nowhere to go to!” He says, “Big Brother will take care of you!” And like a dog that don’t got no bone here I am out in the streets alone Out on the streets alone Out on the streets alone Out on the streets alone Life is so strange when the street’s your home Welcome to the nineties, the decade of surviving My friends are out dumpster diving Drowning in a sea of garbage and debris Read my lips: This is the home of the free Chorus

Remember the days down in the park Playing guitar ‘til after dark? Making love underneath the stars You held my hand and I kissed you hard Seems like it was yesterday Now just a memory fading away On the bridge ‘til the break of dawn Playing guitar and singing this song There’s a party in the slaughterhouse But I’m too dumb to figure it out Time keeps ticking day in and day out There’s a party in the slaughterhouse All aboard the golden ship The best of times and the worst of it Ship’s gone down, nothing’s the same Time goes on and places they change People came and people gone You and I still singing along You can’t hold on to the past Let it go and it’ll come right back Chorus Remember the days down in the park Playing guitar ‘til after dark? Making love underneath the stars You held my hand and I kissed you hard

Old Man Song 04:37
lyrics
buy track
When I was a young man I rambled and I gambled I flirted with the women pretty young and fine I didn’t have a fear, I would drink whiskey and beer And the bottles of the nectar of the fruit upon the vine Won’t you open another bottle ‘Cause my throat is thirsty and dry And I sure would like a taste of that whiskey One more time before I die I rambled and I roamed but I never found a home ‘Cept for barrooms and bordellos on the dark side of town I partied through the night, lord it made me feel alright And in the morning I would find someplace to lay my body down Chorus Well I never had a sweetheart who could cook or keep a home But the whole world was my lover when I drank a bottle through And the sweetest kiss I tasted was the one that got me wasted The sweet kiss from the bottle of the rare old mountain dew Chorus Well now I am an old man, my life’s a memory There’s times I can’t remember the things that happened then But there ain’t no shame or sadness in my life of drunken madness And if I had a second go, you know I’d do it all again Chorus Chorus
