Out Of Control

Gib Guilbeau - Gene Parsons

She's a lot of woman but she's out of control
She's so hard to hold she's out of control
You know she's got me losing again
She's a lot of woman but she's out of control
Needs a whole lot of love, I'm losing my hold
She's slipping right out of my hand
She's got it all and knows how to use it

And I get caught up in the fire
She turns it around and knows I can't lose it
Leaving me lost in desire
She's a lot of woman she can torture your soul
She's just gotta have more she goes out of control
I'm hanging on the best way I can

She's a lot of woman but she's out of control
She's so hard to hold she's out of control
And you know she's got me losing again
She's got it all and knows how to use it

And I get caught up in the fire
She turns it around and knows I can't lose it
Leaving me lost in desire
Out of control

You've got me losing my mind

Waitin' For Love To Begin

Gib Guilbeau - Pete Kleinow

I'm just taking it easy waiting for love to begin
It comes and it goes and it looks like I'm willin' again
Went along for the ride this time I got high on a friend
I'm just taking it easy and waiting for love to begin

You don't promise a thing ooh you give your love just the same
But you give just the same and if waitings the game
Ooh I'll just play it until I can win
I'll just play till I win

Slowly but surely I feel your emotions give in
I'm just taking it easy and waiting for love to begin
I keep feeling my head spin around
I can't keep my feet on the ground
Setting my soul on fire burning me up with desire

Bottle of brandy and music we both understood
Taking for granted that all of our feelings were good
Slowly I'm falling and feeling the need of a friend
I'm just taking it easy and waiting for love to begin
Taking it easy and waiting for love to begin

Toe Tappin' Music

Gib Guilbeau

Give me toe tapping foot stomping beer drinking songs
With a slight touch of the blues and some crying
Hear that doo doo doo doop that's the music I like
That's the kind of song I like with my red wine

Early Monday morning 'til late Friday night
It's the working mans blues for me
But I'm gonna get right soon as I'm paid tonight
I'll be some ladies good news next week

Give me toe tapping foot stomping beer drinking songs
With a slight touch of the blues and some crying
I hear that doo doo doo doop that's the music I like
That's the kind of song I like with my red wine yeah

It was raining this morning it rained hard last night
But honey it ain't raining no more
Lord I don't mind being comfort when the weather gets too bad
But it's matrimony scares me so

Give me toe tapping foot stomping beer drinking songs
With a slight touch of the blues and some crying
I hear that doo doo doo doop that's the music I like
That's the kind of song I like with my red wine yeah

The red headed woman with the fire in your eyes
Won't you be so kind and ease my mind
Tell me I ain't crazy I'm just hypnotized
I did see what is on your eyes

And give me toe tapping foot stomping beer drinking songs
With a slight touch of the blues and some crying
I hear that doo doo doo doop that's the music I like
That's the kind of song I like with my wine

I hear that doo doo doo doop that's the music I like
That's the kind of song I like with my red wine

Quiet Man

John Prine

Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
Beauty and silence both run deep
And running like crazy while you are asleep

You got news for me I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to

Last Monday night I saw a fight
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
Tuesday asked me what was going on I said
Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn

Hocus pocus maladjusted
Don't you think my tears get rusted
Steady losing means you ain't using
What you really think is right

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of god's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of god's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of god's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man

Northbound Bus

Nickey Barclay

Catch a ride on a northbound bus
Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
Could have cried for the way it was
But there's no one left to dry my tears

When I think of how it used to be
When we all played together just for fun
Didn't matter who was right or wrong
Now I gotta get away I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long

You and I were the best of friends
Well I think it was a thousand years
Now good bye this is where it ends
Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble
It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song
Now I gotta get away I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long

When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble
It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song
Now I gotta get away I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long

Catch a ride on a northbound bus
Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
Could have cried for the way it was
But there's no one left to dry my tears

When I think of how it used to be
When we all played together just for fun
Nobody had to come on strong
Now I gotta get away I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long around too long

Big Bayou

Gib Guilbeau

I took a long trip to the cities
I was determined to get somewhere
I spent all my hard earned money
I had saved to put me there

Big Bayou where do you go
To the river running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big Bayou carry me home

I took a picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck ran bad in Nashville
I walked the streets of Hollywood

Big Bayou where do you go
To the river running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big Bayou carry me home

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Oh Lord I'm going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I won't need a lot of money
Cause I ain't going nowhere

Big Bayou where do you go
To the river just running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big Bayou carry me home oh yeah

Big Bayou where do you go
To the river just running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big Bayou carry me home

Big Bayou where do you go
To the river just running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big Bayou where do you go

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah go home

Walk On The Water

Gib Guilbeau - Joel Hill

If I could walk on the water I'd comb the great seas
Oh mama you'd still be a wonder to me

You know Satan may tempt me but I seldom fall
Oh mama temptation steps in when you call

Like a thief in the night with the charms of a child
You can steal me away with one little smile

When you give me love oh like only you do
Oh mama I'd walk on the water for you

Like a thief in the night with the charms of a child
You can steal me away with one little smile

When you give me love oh like only you do
Oh mama I'd walk on the water for you
Oh mama I'd walk on the water for you

Linda Lu

Ray Sharpe

They call my baby Patty
But her real name her real name
Her real name is Linda Lu
They call my baby Patty
But her real name her real name
Her real name is Linda Lu

She's so fine and darn too pretty
I never know what that baby gonna do
She walkin' down the street
All the cats all the cats all the cats turn to look around
She walkin' down the street
All the cats all the cats all the cats turn to look around
She a fine doggone lady
She the best lookin' girl we had in this town

Gonna remember that girl on Saturday night
We go out for the rest of my nights
And in my roamin' and daisy too
And its all because of that chick

Linda Linda Linda Linda Linda
Tell me what's you gonna do?

Had a real bad dream last night

You're a fine doggone lady
You're you gonna break my heart in two

Had a real bad dream last night honey

You gonna put me down out and leave me
Or you'll break my former doll heart in two

Border Town

Michael Lawson - Joel Hill

Life ain't so easy in this border town
It's the dope and the nightlife
And it's no place you'd really want to hang around
But I think I might

Good looking women in this border town
And most of them easy
But some of the dudes that are walking around
Well they're just pretty greasy

The thing is it bothers you sometimes
Looking into that old familiar shine
Your baby was mine before
And you don't seem to mind what's more

She came steamin' into border town
A little girl with a big dream
Now she's covered in pearls and a long white gown riding in a limousine

There's a dozen old ladies who were just like that
Sometime back in the thirties
And now they're lonesome and looking for something to do
They got dirty

Because when they don't love you anymore
Can you live on your memories?
And when your good friends ain't hanging at your door
Like a family of strangers running in misery

Life ain't easy in this border town
The dope and the nightlife
And you'd never even hear it
If the truth went down in border town

And when you're beaten in border town
And there's no place else to go
Throw your dream in the ocean
And start to row away from border town

She's A Sailor

Stevie Wonder

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

She's a sailor sailor
Sailing from one man to another
Just when you think her anchor's in you'll talk of love
She tells you that she cannot stay

She's a writer writer
She'll say she needs your love to guide her
Just when you've convinced your heart love's on its trail
She'll just up and say farewell

Well buy other things your comfort ease the loneliness you fear
And warm your nights when winter comes around
But in the Spring when robins sing
And snow has disappeared
Wish her out on love you hadn't found

She's a flier flier
A bird of love that takes you higher
But when you think love's found your nest of unhappiness
She spreads her wings and flies away

High on a limb she'll come to please the loneliness you fear
And warm your nights when winter comes around
But in the Spring when robins sing
And snow has disappeared
You'll wish her out of love you hadn't found

She's a teaser teaser
She'll make you promise you won't leave her
She'll fall in love with you until it's time to find
Another game for her to play

She's a sailor sailor
Sailing from one man to another
Just when you think her anchor's in you'll talk of love
She tells you that she cannot stay

She's a teaser teaser
She'll make you promise you won't leave her
She'll fall in love with you until it's time to find
Another game for her to play

Jesus Broke The Wild Horse

Steven Glick - Dennis Krause

Jesus broke the wild horse in my heart
And he rounded up all the sinfulness and the dark
He drove all the wolves from my door
And he gave me a love like I never had before

Showed me a way to the green grass of love
On the hills of his wide open range
And he said it was mine if I'd just follow him
So I'm here now to stay to live day by day
And follow his wonderful way

Jesus broke the wild horse in my heart
And we sat down he broke some bread and gave me wine
And he kindled a fire in my soul
And he dug me a well where the living waters flow

Showed me a way to the green grass of love
The hills of his wide open range
And he said it was mine if I'd just follow him
So I'm here now to stay to live day by day
And follow his wonderful way
