Shadows fallin' in my room

Ghost riders dancin' on the moon

Night is closin' in again

Clutchin' to my tremblin' bed
Call your name 'til I'm out of my head

Walkin' the backstreets

Lookin' for clues

I got to get you back

If it's the last thing I do

I'll go walkin' in a hurricane

I'll come crawlin' in a drivin' rain

I'll keep searchin' 'til I go insane

Mama I'm on fire

Old flame

Sweet desire

Comin' on the midnight

Comin' on the midnight train
Rollin' steel and thunder

Bring my baby back again

Roll on down the line

Big wheels rollin' right on time

Hear that whistle blowin'

Hear that engine roar and whine

Take care of my baby

Ridin' on that southern streamline

Well I got a little letter this morning

It may look easy

When you look at me

But it took years of effort

To become the mess that you see

Now what kind of woman

Take you for a ride

Down the rattlesnake highway

An' leave you busted up inside

All busted up inside

Smiles like a cobra

With her rattlesnake eyes

'n leave you for dead on the highway

Just mumblin' at the sky

She did me wrong

She did me wrong

Well, if you want

To ease your mind

You just go on

Take it to the river
When you're down

Well, that's alright

You just bring it down to jelly roll

We're gonna run

A-jump and shout

We're gonna slide

Way back in the country

There's a place

Where they treat you right

You just bring it down to jelly roll

The little girls

Way down south

They got their way

Way back in the hills

There's a ploace I know

People comes from miles around

Just to watch 'ol Dooley do the show

Ooh let the blueboy play

Ooh let the blueboy play

Gonna ride the mule

Gonna chase him too

Pullin' on-a pullin' on-a

Pullin' on-a pony

He goes...

Soon's the sun go down

That's when the fun begins

Hitch your wagon down the track

Up to the roadhouse

Help me fellas

I'm feelin' kind-a weak

The way I'm livin' just ain't right

I need somebody t' watch over me
All my blue moon nights

I want a girl to take me by the hand

Follow me right down the line

Hold me gently while we dance

All my blue moon nights

Heaven only knows I don't want to be

Just a fool, passin' through

Won't you send me an angel to walk with me

Bad bad boy

Yoe're drivin' me crazy

Bad bad boy

Shame on you
Shame on you

Where you been all night

Messin' with your friends

You act so mean

And you talk so funny

There you go again

Bad bad boy

You won't amount to nothin'

Bad bad boy

Shame on you

Shame on you

Where you been

What you been doin'

Where you been

What you been doin'

Bad bad boy

Way out there in the cotton

Sun beatin' down so hard

Sweat rollin' of this shovel

Diggin' in the devil's boneyard
Sure like a cool drink of water

Soft rag to soothe my face

Sure like a woman to talk to in this place

It's a hundred and ten

Hundred and ten in the shade

Goin' way down

Mama won't you carry me

Handle so hot I can't stand it

Might shrivel up and blow away

Ooh, let's go ridin'

Cruisin' down the open road

We can put the top down

Listen to the radio
Big ol' Buick

And a big ol' sky

Wheels on fire

And I'll tell you why

I got a hot rod heart

Ooh, let's go prowlin'

Sneakin' like we used to do

Way back in the country

Cut across the cornfields too

Big ol' Harley

And a big ol' moon

Big ol' 'gator

Puttin' on the zoom

Two-lane

Shinin' in the july dust

Heat risin' off the road

Out in front of my truck
Pulled my pick-up over the hill

Down the slide gravel through the cat-tails

Give me those swamp river days again

Sat down in the shade of a cotton wood tree

Pretty soon the swamp critters' callin' me

Skinny river kids swim in my mind

Hucklebums on cane-pole time

My oh my I'm a restless guy

Got a home everywhere I go

Well I ain't good lookin'

And I ain't so smart
But baby I'm a sensitive guy

I ain't done everything there is to do

But I'll damn sure give it a try

I'm a lookin'

I'm a lookin'

For a big time bookin' with you

So come on baby

Let's go howlin' at the honky-tonk moon

I'm a rambunctious boy

Rambunctious boy

I tiptoed in the room

I know you got to have your rest

She says, 'Come lay beside me,

I've been waitin' since you left'
She's sweet to me

Must be the luckiest man alive

And did I tell you baby

You are the joy of my life

First time that I saw you

Ooh, you took my breath away

I might not get to heaven

But I walked with the Angels that day

She takes me by the hand
