Do you see that gal with the blue dress on that's what daddy wants
My low down blues are long gone that's what daddy wants
If she'd make a big ol' like it song that's what daddy wants

Well that's what daddy wants brother that's what daddy wants
I want a gal that treat me right that's what daddy wants
Go honky tonkin' every night that's what daddy wants

Every day she passes by that's what daddy wants
She sure a sight for my sore eyes that's what daddy wants
If she were mine my heart would fly that's what daddy wants

Well that's what daddy wants brother that's what daddy wants...

Oh yeah that's what daddy wants baby

Well that's what daddy wants baby that's what daddy wants
I want a gal that treat me right that's what daddy wants
Go juke joint jumpin' every night

87 Southbound

I caught you with him on them damp slick sticky satin sheets
Then I packed my things and then I hit the streets

87 southbound to San Antone
You got your baby I got no home
The pavements burnin' at a hundred and two
I don't need to hear no more excuses but I don't need you

Lord the sun keeps beatin' me down and it's hotter'n hell
And if I'm a lucky I'll catch a ride but you can't never tell
I'd rather be here with the bugs and flies then back there hearin' your alibis
I heard all that I'm gonna hear you say I gonna take my pride and go the other way

87 southbound to San Antone
It's getting late out I'm forty miles from home
The rain keeps a fallin' like the tears of my eyes
Just tryin' to wash away the hurt from all your lies

Yeah daddy

And lightnin' streaks across the evenin' sky
And if I'm a lucky (it'll make you) laid right down and die
I know when the morning comes I'll still be a walking son of a gun
When afternoon comes rolls around I'll have ten more miles and one more town

87 southbound to San Antone...

Don't feel like myself this evenin' must be this old city air
No I ain't been very too well must be this old city air

Well I know my baby loves me she tells me all the time
Yeah I know my baby loves me cause she tells me all the time
If that gal ever leave me I'm gonna lose my mind

I'm goin' west through Johnson City I'm leavin' town today
I don't know where I'm headed how long I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna cruise with my baby I'm gonna get on 1-10 and drive
I'm goin' west through Johnson City me and that baby of mine

Ah Miller time now
Ah lemme hear you sing on buddy

Well some folks they entertain that that's the only savin' grace they know
Yeah the liquor and wild women that's the only savin' grace they know
All I need with me's my honey and a thousand miles of open desert road

I'm gonna get us away out yonder underneath that starry sky
I'm gonna get us away out yonder honey underneath that starry sky
I gotta life for livin' brother gonna see it pass me by

Well I know my baby loves me she tells me all the time...

Misery

If misery was a crime then I'd always be servin' time
So miserable am I without you
Oh how could I let you go when you're the only one I love so
What made me throw away a height so true
I'm missin' you

Why did I walk away and say goodbye
I'm the one with tear drops in my eye
I don't know how I'll go on without you here under my arm
I miss your sweet natural charm
Now that we're through I'm missin' you

Why did I walk away and say goodbye
I'm the one with tear drops in my eye
Alone forever I'll be but my blind eye just couldn't see
That you were faithful to me I'm missin' you

Oh little Lisa you done stole my heart
I miss your kisses when we're apart
You know I want you to be my own
Oh little Lisa little gal from San Anton'

Her eyes are dreamy she's cutie as she can be
Just say the word I'm yours for good your the one for me

Tell your daddy you done found your man
So I can ask you for your lovin' hand
And then forever I'll share my home
With little Lisa little gal from San Antone

Her eyes are dreamy she's cutie as she can be...

Oh little Lisa you done stole my heart...

I gotta knocked out rhythm gonna swing away all my blue
I gotta knocked out rhythm gonna swing away all my blue
If you don't want me baby then that's what I'm gonna do

When the sun goes low you can't be found
I bet you got a million other boyfriends around
You said you were mine oh that were just a line
You broke your vow it's over now I'm leavin' this time

Goodbye heartache I won't be back this way

I gotta knocked out rhythm gonna swing away all my blue...

Ah knock it out

Well standin' in the rain waitin' for my train
My heart feels like it's breakin' but I'm leavin' just the same
You had your way now I git my way
I'm leavin' this here town lookin' for better days

Goodbye sweet gal I ain't comin' back no more

I gotta knocked out rhythm gonna swing away all my blue...
I gotta knocked out rhythm gonna swing away all my blue...

Highway 54

Sittin' in the kitchen with my back against the wall
I was waitin' for my baby but my baby didn't call
Suddenly there came a stranger knockin' on my door
He told me there had been a wreck out on Highway 54

She was with another man is what the stranger said
I asked if she'd survived it but he slowly shook his head
They were on their way to the other side of town
They tried to beat a freight train and the freight train ran 'em down

Highway 54 took my love away from me
I knew she didn't want me but I could not set her free
She was with another like so many times before
She paid the price of runnin' round out on highway 54

Yeah run her down brother

Many sleepless nights have passed my broken heart since then
The man that she was runnin' with once was my best friend
All the dreams that I had they fill my mind no more
Cause they died with her that tragic night out on highway 54

Highway 54 took my love away from me...

Johnny Law

Alright whatever y'all say a one two one two three four

Well I was cruisin' Texarkana in my Cadillac
We were giggin' Louisiana and a comin' back
It was startin' to get light and I was really gone
I saw a flashin' in my mirror he was movin' on

Hey Johnny Law why you pickin' on me
Hey Johnny Law drivin' off my misery
You got the biggest attitude I ever saw
I bet you's wishin' I was guilty Johnny Law

Standin' by my cruiser waitin' for your friends
Or you sidle by later maybe haul me in
You're pushin' me around just hopin' that I'll choke
And if you get your way I'll be locked up and broke

Hey Johnny Law why you pickin' on me...

Yeah go git 'em yeah

Ricky

Well you got everything all lit up for the world to see
But you ain't found nothing so you're settin' me free
You make your money puttin' fear at those oppressed
You ain't nothin' but a bully with a star on your chest

Hey Johnny Law why you pickin' on me...

Freight Line Blues

Wayne Hancock

It's stormy tonight the rain's comin' down
There's no place for me to go to
My gal said goodbye alone am I
With the freight line blues

My clothes are all wet had to crouch in the cold
Waitin' by the Santa Fe lines
My prides all but gone my hearts torn in two
From that woman that left me behind

The rain drops keep fallin' and so do my tears
Will I hurt her or what will I do
All alone on these rails with no train in sight
With the freight line blues

The rain drops keep fallin' and so do my tears...

Oh Lea Ann my sweet Lea Ann
I yours you're mine and it's so grand

Let the storm clouds gather like they used to
Outside the rain is fallin' inside I dream of you

You're the sun that satisfies my soul
You're the touch of spring to keep me from the cold

I never thought I'd live to see those happy days
I hope you're mine Lea Ann always

Wayne Hancock

I'm gonna top off my tank get loaded with provision
I'm leavin' town right now goin' on another mission

Gonna drive straight through four states and do a three hour show
Man it sure beats diggin' ditches livin' life on the road

Ain't gotta pay no rent or worry about no deals
Can drift up in a dream to the rumble of the wheels

Never have to worry now how I get my meals
Every bit I own livin' life on the road

Well there's 1-10 west 1-40 east
Thirty-five to Minnesota fifty-nine to New Orleans

A gal down in Louisiana really know how to swing
Lord I never get down low livin' life on the road
All right man let's go

Well there's 1-10 west 1-40 east...

A gal down in Louisiana really know how to swing
Lord I never get down low livin' life on the road
Yeah it's the only way to go

Cause she sure can cook and the bayou sets my poor heart free

Well they goin' down to Houston then they play in Louisiana Lordy oh

Would you tell her to hello for me

Well it's cloudin' up out yonder looks like it's goin' to fry

And when you get to Louisiana would you tell her to hello for me
Yeah fer miles to roll there's honky tonks as far as I can see

Well outside the wind a blowin' and it's really gonna pull board

When you get to Louisiana would you tell her to hello for me

When my baby pulled up in a brand new Cadillac
I said Jesus baby where'd you get that brand new Cadillac
She said belongs to your daddy I ain't never comin' back

Baby baby won't you hear my plea
Come on sugar won't you hear my plea
Ain't doin' no good now she ain't comin' back to me

Baby baby won't you hear my plea
Come on baby won't you hear my plea
