ROLLIN' FREE

(Johnny Cash)
« © '70 Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP / Ensign Music, BMI »
Rollin' free rollin' free rollin' free
Just the sun and the wind and the road and me
I don't wanna be tied to a load that I can't carry over the road
Just wanna hear that thunder roar on trails that ain't been rode before
No put no chains on me I'm rollin' free

Now I'm not worried about who I am cause frankly I don't give a damn
Long as I can be where I wanna be
And doin' what I wanna do and if it's all the same to you
What I wanna be is rollin' free

Rollin' free rollin' free...

Now I forgot about yesterday and let tomorrow bring what may
Let ev'rything be as it will be
Cause all I need is my machine and a little high octane gasoline
And get your hands off me I'm rollin' free

Rollin' free rollin' free...
I'm rollin' free rollin' free rollin' free

BALLAD OF LITTLE FAUSS AND BIG HALSY

(Carl Perkins)
« © '70 Cedarwood Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Little Fauss and Big Halsy
Men and their machine motor bike racin' was their game
Always pushin' on for one more win it takes nerve to take that curve
Nerves of steel climbin' that hill pushin' that grip
[ guitar ] Hey Little Fauss and Big Halsy
Tomorrow's just another day another day to race away
One more win that's all we've gotta do
It takes guts when the goin' gets rough
You gotta be tough give it your best facin' that death
[ guitar ] Little Fauss and Big Halsy no one hardly knew their name
Win no praise and gain no fame
Always there when the numbers
They were called goin' in a rush chewin' that brush
Gotta move on tomorrow they're gone sears or bust

LITTLE MAN

(Johnny Cash)
« © '70 Ensign Music, BMI / Slapich Music, BMI »
It seems like some good people do get messed up on their chances
Ain't no doubt it's all been planned out before they were born
Always goin' up that long downhill road always at the little end of the horn

Oh the little man don't count they look right over his head
And they turn him and they burn him any way they can
Just somebody's leanin' post ev'rybody's underdog
Oh heaven help cause no one else will the little man

It seems like people would get tired of lookin' down on people
It's seems like people got to have someone to kick around
Always feelin' like they need to be looked up to
And always someone there when they look down

Oh the little man don't count...

WANTED MAN

(Bob Dylan)
« © '68 Big Sky Music, SESAC »
Wanted man in California wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City wanted man in Ohio
Wanted man in Mississippi wanted man in old Cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea
A workin' for some man who may not know who I might be
If you ever see me comin' and if you know who I am
Don't you breathe it to nobody cause you know I'm on the lam

Wanted man by Lucy Watson wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson wanted man in this next town
But I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I've had
And a lot more that I needed of somethings that turned out bad
[ guitar ] I got sidetracked in El Paso stopped to get myself a map
Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap
Then I went to sleep in Shreveport woke up in Abilene
Wonderin' why the hell I'm wanted at some town halfway between

Wanted man in California wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City wanted man in Ohio
There's somebody set to grab me anywhere that I might be
So wherever you might look tonight you might get a glimpse of me

TRUE LOVE IS GREATER THAN FRIENDSHIP

(Carl Perkins)
« © '70 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
[ Carl Perkins ] True love is greater than friendship that's right even though it seems wrong
And before I'll see you hurt her anymore I'll just hold to her love but I'll be gone
You don't really want her you're playin' a game oh you'll use and drag her along
And before I'll see you hurt her anymore I'll just hold to her love but I'll be gone

You'll use her abuse her mistreat her then leave her
For that's the only life you've ever known
I love her and I'd never in my lifetime will I ever
So I'll just hold to her love but I'll be gone
[ steel ] You'll use her abuse...

MOVIN'

(Carl Perkins)
« © '70 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Little Fauss and Big Halsy man they make a winnin' team
Fauss soups up the engines and Halsy is a woman's dream
But they keep on movin' movin' movin' honey they're movin' right along
Ain't never found a place sweetheart I could really settle and call my home
I guess I was born for runnin' I guess it's in my blood
Cause the sweet sound of a hopped-up engine is the sweetest sound I've heard
And I keep on movin' movin' movin' gotta keep on movin' down the line
Don't try to claim me woman cause I'll be gone tomorrow by this time
I'm at home gal when I'm runnin' and I guess that's all I'm worth
And maybe next to the devil I'm the meanest man on earth
But I gotta keep movin' movin' movin' honey gotta keep movin' down the line
Hey don't be lookin' for me cause I'll be gone tomorrow by this time
[ guitar ] I've had a woman in ev'ry city I've had a woman in ev'ry town
Ain't no need to put your claim on me cause you never gonna get me down
Cause I gotta be movin' movin' movin' honey I gotta be movin' along
I'm on a one night stand gal tomorrow by this time I will be gone
Ain't no need to get excited just because we've come to town
We'll play tonight sweet mama but tomorrow I won't be around
I gotta keep movin' movin' movin' gotta checker flag that's waitin' on me
I'm at home gal when I'm runnin'
And my face is a playin' games with the evenin' breeze
Gotta keep movin' honey look out get outta my way I'm gone
