1. _ Heaven, Hell, or Houston
Hello darling. Surprised? Yes, it's me again. I have just returned from the island of Chandelier. What am I doing in town? Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm just passing through in search of the ever elusive Thunderbird. I got a job as a public relations man. Passing out handbills on Austin Street. Merely an effort to improve my financial situation, And ward off a case of the D.T.'s So farewell, my darling. Perhaps we'll meet again On some sin-infested street corner in Houston Texas. more free lyrics |
2. _ A Fool For Your Stockings
Is it you again outside, Just banging on the front door? You say you had enough, Now you're coming' back for more, But that's alright. I said that that's alright. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. Now I don't mind when you send money and bring your girlfriends with you, But how could one be so thoughtless to try and handle less than two? But that's alright. I said that that's alright, baby. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. Now I'm tellin' everybody It seems too good to be true: Sweet things can always get sweeter. I know mine did, how about you? Yes, it's alright. I said, yes it is, that's alright. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. more free lyrics |

5. _ A Fool For Your Stockings (ii)
Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.
Now i don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you,
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
And handle less than two?
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright, baby.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.
Now i'm tellin' everybody
It seems too good to be true:
Sweet things can always get sweeter.
I know mine did, how about you?
Yes, it's alright.
I said, yes it is, that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.

7. _ Old Man
Words and music by billy gibbons, dusty hill, frank beard.
Old man sleepin' the hot day away,
While he dreams a thousand yesterdays.
'cause he's had so many come his way.
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow.
Old man sits and thinks about his home.
Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone.
What he'd give to get back on his own.
Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation.
He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation.
What a shame,
His time is nearin'.
His eyes won't let him see
The skies are clearin'.
Someone tells him
Without his hearin'.
It's no news to those who've been around
While things are changin'.

8. _ 2000 Blues
A hundred thousand dollars
Wouldn't touch the price i paid
Of the hundred thousand moments
Of the times i wish i'd stayed.
But even if i had all the time and money,
It's still the same old news.
Nothin' does you any good
When you got 2000 blues.
Ten thousand clouds
On a rainy rainy day
Couldn't wash away
All the dust and the haze.
But i tried and i tried
To search for all the clues,
Why i can't wash away
These 2000 blues.
If i had an airplane
With a co-pilot too,
I'd fly to a planet
That was closest to you.
I'd set the tracking system
With your safety fuse,
And set the countdown
For 2000 blues.

9. _ Just Got Back From Baby's
Words and music by billy gibbons, bill ham.
(spoken: douse that light...)
Now i just got back from baby's,
We been rollin' all night long.
I said i just got back from baby's,
We been rollin' all night long.
She comeon likes and loves me,
But i feel like somethin' wrong.
Now, sometimes i go see baby,
And sometimes she come see me.
I said, sometimes i go see baby,
And sometimes baby come see me.
I got a funny, funny feelin'
I'm not the only man she sees.
Now, i just got back from baby's,
Big white house on the hill.
I said, i just got back from baby's,
Big white house on the hill.
If her lovin' don't get me,
I know her husband will.

10. _ Lowdown in the Street
Well there comes Lola, out of control-a: She just loves those rhythm and blues. And miss Ivy will be arriving; in leopard skin tights she's willing to cruise. It's a fiend scene and it happens 'bout once a week. So roam on in, it ain't no sin to get low down in the street. There's Jimmy and Jojo, there's Kim and Keith, Way outside the eyes of cool. And sweet M.B., and there's little G.B. Everybody wants to be their fool. It's a fiend scene and it happens here ev'ry week. So roam on in, it ain't no sin to get low down in the street. Some nights are lonely, some nights are lazy, but ain't nobody try and slip away. They'll make you loose. They'll make you crazy. Know what I mean, what you say, what you say. It's a fiend scene and it happens 'bout once a week. So roam on in, it ain't no sin to get low down in the street. more free lyrics |

12. _ I Need You Tonight
It's three o'clock in the morning and the rain begin to fall but I know what I'm needin but I don't have it all. I'm needin someone like you that I just wanna do love to. Baby, baby, I need you tonight. Outside my window it's lonely and cold. Inside my heart there's a fire burning out of control. Burning for someone like you I just wanna do love to. Baby, baby, I need you tonight. Your love's coming to me like a wolf howling at the moon but that just doesn't do me if I can't get you soon. I'm calling for someone like you that I just wanna do love to. Baby, baby, I need you tonight. more free lyrics |
13. _ Certified Blues
Words and music by billy gibbons, bill ham, frank beard.
I woke up this mornin' with these certified blues,
They sure been stalkin' me 'round.
So down tonight i couldn't tie my shoes.
They about to drop me in the ground.
If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
I've been livin' here, way down south,
A place that i wanna stay.
Been workin' hard just to feed my mouth.
Just can keep them blues away.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.
You say you're feelin' bad and you don't know why.
You're broke and your woman been ly'n'.
And just one thing before i'm fired,
The blues have just been certified.
If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

14. _ Hot, Blue And Righteous
Hot, blue and righteous,
An angel called me aside.
Hot, blue and righteous,
Said, "stick by me and i'll be your guide."
I heard the words as i closed my eyes
Down on my, down on my bended knees.
It fit like a glove and i realized
Somethin' good's happenin' to me.
Hot, blue and righteous
Angel called me aside.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

15. _ She Loves My Automobile
She don't love me, she love my automobile. She don't love me, she love my automobile. Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel. She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down? She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down? I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town. Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk. Well she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk, Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk. more free lyrics |
16. _ If I Could Only Flag Her Down
I don't need her money, I don't need a ride. I got enough connections, I don't need a piece of her hide. I just wanna please her, I just wanna squeeze her. I just wanna crash her, I just wanna trash her. If I could only flag ner down, if I could only flag her down. Well, it's not because of her beauty and her brand new low cut blouse. It's not because she's so snooty or a fine famed millionaire. It's not 'cause she's in motion in a brand new Cadillac car, it's not because of her lotion, she's a real sweet candy bar. I just want to meet her, I just want to squeeze her. I just want to crash her, I just want to trash her. If I could only flag her down, if I could only flag her down. more free lyrics |
17. _ My Head's In Mississippi
I'm shufflin' thru the texas sand,
But my head's in mississippi.
I'm shufflin' thru the texas sand,
But my head's in mississippi.
The blues has got a hold of me.
I believe i'm gettin' dizzy. (spoken: help me now.)
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in memphis,
Lord, i thought i was in heaven.
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in memphis,
I thought i was in heaven.
But i was stumblin' thru the parking lot
Of an invisible seven eleven. (spoken: what was i doin out there?)
Where's my head baby?
Somewhere in mississippi.
Last night i saw a cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
And last night i saw a naked cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf
About some voodoo healin'. (spoken: mmm baby.)

18. _ Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell
Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
On account of my baby walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor
That woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door.
And it sure got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky, from my eye.
Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way?
Like river without its water, like night without a day.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky but from my eye.
If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall,
With thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call.
Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night
But stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky but from my eye,
Not from the sky, from my eye.
- billy gibbons
