Walk Away

Takin' my time choosin' my line
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

Seems to me you don't want to talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away

Places I've known, things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in the worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' ta doubt you

Seems to me we talk all night, here comes the morning
Seems to me you ignore just what was said and greet the day

I've got to cool myself down, stompin' around
Thinking some words I can't name ya
Meet you halfway, got nothin' to say
Still I don't 'spose I can blame ya

Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away




Rocky Mountain Way

Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, think it's safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain Way is the best way that we ever had

Well he's tellin' us this and he's tellin' us that
Changin' it every day
Says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don't need the ladies cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain Way is the best way that we ever had




Life's Been Good

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
[alternate:  sub/back/trunk/  sub/I'm attacked/I get drunk/]

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say I'm cool......He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed

They say I'm lazy but I have a good time
(Everybody say oh, yeah.....OH,YEAH)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far (yeah, yeah, yeah)




All Night Long

We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long
All night long

We keep on grinnin' 'til the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gums
All night long. All night long

Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of business and we have some fun
All night long. All night long

We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we'll sing along
Sing along
Oh, we're stayin' up all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long




Funk #49

Sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think that's actin' right
You don't think it's showin'

Jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you try'n'-a hand me?

Out all night, sleep all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'
