Wayne Hancock - Chris Miller

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

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...

Brand New Cadillac

Vince Taylor

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

Flat Land Boogie

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

Chuggin' along on 3-8-5
Looks like another twelve hour drive
Sun's come up it's a pretty day
The land's so flat you can see la

It's the flatland boogie when the mercury's high
Tornado alley is always hot and dry
It's cotton fields and cattle ranches
Honky tonks and all night dancin'
Flatland boogie

Racing trains down the rural route
Crusin' towns and checkin' them out
Buddy's gone but you can catch his soul
Late at night on the radio

It's the flatland boogie when the mercury's high...

Thunderstorms And Neon Signs

Wayne Hancock - Terry Allen

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

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

I wish I was a catfish swimmin' in the sea
Lots of pretty women just a fishin' after me

The women they all want me cause my (cookin' will put me down)
She done moved she done moved
Well she done moved to Kansas City hon
A baby where they don't want you oh Lord

Kansas City blues

I walked all over Memphis lookin' down field
Lookin' for the gal that they call Lucille
She done moved she done moved
Well she done moved to Kansas City hon
A baby where they don't want you

I done walked all over Rockney blue as I can be
Lookin' for the gal that made a sucker out of me
She done moved she done moved
Well she done moved to Kansas City hon'
Baby where they don't want you

T-man the eighth wonder of the world child prodigy genius and ladies he's single
Wakefield

I wish I was a catfish swimmin' in the sea
Lots of pretty women just a fishin' after me

Knocked Out Rhythm

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

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...

Wild Free And Reckless

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

Drizzling rain was steady falling
As you waved your last goodbye
And I stood there your name a calling
With big ol' teardrops in my eye's

Should have done the thing's I oughta
And you'd still be here today
Should've said the words I thought of
But that's the prize a fool must pay

And I lived wild free and reckless
Man 'o man I've had my fun
Now my world's so sad and lonely
Wish I could change the thing's I done

Don't look for me in no high spirit's
Unless I got them from a glass
God pray time may drown your memory
Precious time please flow on past

I should have bought you Sunday dresses flowers for your hair
Pretty diamonds for your fingers cause now your gone I don't know where

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

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

We never get along I guess we never will
I'm saying so long it oughta give you a thrill

Why don't you leave me alone why don't you leave me alone...

Well I'm goin' joint jumpin' down at club twenty-one
I ain't lookin' for trouble but I'm gonna have fun

Why don't you leave me alone why don't you leave me alone...

You want a sissy does this that'll hear your command
Not a hillbilly singer with a five piece band

Why don't you leave me alone why don't you leave me alone...

Party

Whoah

Well last night you told my dad I ain't worth a dime...
Why don't you leave me alone why don't you leave me alone...

Wayne Hancock

© I Wrote It Music, ASCAP

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
