Hey Wayne what you goin' to do
I'm gonna go juke joint jumpin'

Well the stars are shinin' in the east Texas air
Another fifty minutes and I'm gonna be there
It's been a long drive but everything is a goin' alright
I'm on a Bladewater highway goin' juke joint jumping tonight

Well the juke joints honey where I learned how to sing
Where they honky tonk all night and Hank Williams is king
Gonna do a little dancin' keep at it till broad daylight
We're on a Bladewater highway goin' juke joint jumping tonight

Count it down daddy

Well I might go dancin' or a shootin' pool
But it's a hep trap baby and the cats are real cool
Well it's the real thing it sure is a welcome sight
It's where I cut my teeth and I'm goin' joint jumpin' tonight

Well next time you go travel brother here's a good play
You get your automobile and go to Texarkan'
You gonna do little drivin' keep at 'til broad daylight
You're on a Bladewater highway goin' juke joint jumping tonight

Well the stars are shinin' in the east Texas air...

Worn out suit worn shoes I got no money to pay my dues
Yodal-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues
There's soda pop over that hill but I got no car or a dollar bill
Yodel-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues

Well I got no money and I got no home
Just my draft pick shoes and the world to roam
A ridin' the rails and seein' the sites
Sleepin' all day and stayin' up nights

Well I got no ride but that's alright
I'll jump a freight train later on tonight
Yodel-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues

Well I got no money and I got no home...

Well I got no money to pay my rent
Just a pocket full of change worth fifteen cents
Yodel-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues

Thunderstorms And Neon Signs

There's big black clouds blowin in from the west
I've been drivin all day lord I sure could use some rest
There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

I grew up on the rough from town to town
My daddy's line of work kept us movin' around
I got fond memories of the what things were back then
The warmth of the neon when a bad storm was movin' in

We listen to the Opry in a small cafe
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
It takes me back to another time

I got a real nice room with a radio and TV
This here motel livin' is the only life for me
And it looks like it'll be rainin' for quite some time
And mixed with the lightnin' a glow from a neon sign

We listen to the Opry in a small cafe...

There's a big black cloud blowin' in from the west
I've been drivin' all day lord I sure could use some rest
There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

Well I got a little gal about five feet tall
One hot mama and that ain't all

She's my baby I'm her daddy we're both goin' steady
So you'd better leave my baby alone

We gotta little shack bout right off Maine
Roof don't leak when it starts to rain

She's my baby I'm her daddy we're both goin' steady

Stay away from my gal stretch it out

She's my baby and tell you this much
You can look at my candy but you'd better not touch

She's my baby I'm her daddy we're both goin' steady...

Uh-uh brother

Oh baby

Well I got a little gal about five feet tall
One hot mama and that ain't all

I gotta crazy little lady she's a wildcat
She's up the fourteenth floor has a two room flat
She's my honey lovin' baby hep cats call her Sue
She really digs this kinda livin' she's always got the hi-rise blues

This scene ain't nothing like a rural route
You ain't gotta go travel to the steppin' out
I'm just a gift from the country I ain't got no pals
Lord I don't need nobody just my big city good times gal

Hi-rises baby

Woo groovy baby

Sometimes I tend to worry and I wonder too
What a hillbilly guy like me gonna do
If the day ever comes that she don't want me hangin' around
Well I'll do a little jumpin' and hit every joint in town

I got a flat out yonder down Texas way
Hot rod Chrysler when I wanna play
And a knife fer throwin' a fit that's gonna make 'em howl
I'm gonna party with my baby my big city good time gal

Pound it down

Ain't Nobody's Blues But My Own

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

Now everybody that knows me knows just the way I feel
When my baby ain't around I've lots of time to kill
But I ain't into playin' no sir I don't run around
But I'll be awful lonesome till my sugar's back in town

Cause it ain't nobody's blues but my own when my gals gone
They come around until she comes back home
The worst kinda heartache that I know
Yeah they're ain't nobody's blues but my own

Take it away brother

Well there's lots of pretty women but only one can have a heart
Brother when she ain't around my world just falls apart
But accordin' to my schedule she's gonna be back soon
For tonight I'll sleep out on the porch underneath that lonesome moon

Cause it ain't nobody's blues but my own when my gals gone...

Tear it up yeah

And you can have your cheap motels and runnin' around of late
Livin' in that kinda place is love at second rate
I've got myself a fine gal and together we'll go far
And if I mean the world to her then she's my lucky star

Cause it ain't nobody's blues but my own when my gals gone...
Cause it ain't nobody's blues but my own when my gals gone...

Well last night you told my dad I ain't worth a dime
Well don't you worry baby cause I'm leavin' this time

Why don't you leave me alone why don't you leave me alone
Well your hillbilly daddy's packin' and I'm gonna be gone

Wayne Hancock

Oh lord my gal ain't nothing but a tag along
She hangs around a little while and then she's gone
So come on pretty baby won't you tag along with me

Well everything between us always works out fine
She's got her set a pals and I got mine
So come on pretty baby won't you tag along with me

I know a real gone joint on the edge of town
We could dance all night till it closes down
I don't wanna sit around a talkin' house all day
While my gal's out dancin' the night away

Oh lord I love that gal till the day I die
Even though she runs around with the other guy
So come on pretty baby won't you tag along with me

Cold Lonesome Wind

Wayne Hancock

It's after two and it just started to rain
Lord the wind is blowin' like an ol' freight train
A distant thunder stirs me from my bed
And all those longin' memories that I once thought was dead

Cold lonesome wind take me back home
Back to the country where I belong
Help me relive those days again
Take me back home cold lonesome wind

My dad made sure we never missed a meal
He worked those hours long and hard to keep up on the bills
My mother she meant everything to him
And it's nights like this that really start me missin' both of them

Cold lonesome wind take me back home...

Cold lonesome wind take me back home...

The years have passed and we've all moved away
Despite of everything that's gone we're all doin' OK
On certain lonesome stormy nights I can still be found
Searching through the memories of that little oil town

Cold lonesome wind take me back home...

Locomotive Joe

Well I know a crazy cat that rides the train all day long
Gotta gal in every town and is never alone
And says the Union Pacific always treats him right
Well they go joint jumpin' in a different town every night

Says come on train my baby's out there waitin'
Gotta big date so don't make me late
He hits the main drag just as hard as he can go
They call him Locomotive Joe he's a railroad Romeo

When he gets to Fort Worth I got on my boots and hat
How 'bout Oklahoma City I got my hair slicked back
Well he hits each town and checks 'em like an old trout line
Well son of a gun if he don't get a bite each time

Hey Joe

No lovin' tonight no huggin' and a kissin'...

Tell me about it brother

Well to see you hangin' on to him really tears me down...

No lovin' tonight no huggin' and a kissin'

Worried 'bout nothing gonna lay some money down
She's my honey lovin' baby I'm her man

Me and my baby come a walkin' through the door
Both of us so tired we're about to fall down
We been out there all night tearin' up the town

'Cause she's my baby my honey lovin' baby...

Well I been to Memphis Memphis Tennessee
Down to Louisiana down to New Orleans
I met a lotta cats that like to swing and rock
But my gal jumps down when they play bee-bop

Lord she's my baby my honey lovin' baby...
