I've had my troubles,
I know you've had your troubles too.
Sometimes when you need a little sunshine,
It keeps rainin' down on you.
But i'm not gonna let it get me down,
Keep on pullin', things are gonna come around.
Shine it on,
Shine it on.
Little blue-eyed woman,
She made me feel so fine.
She got what she wanted,
Then she moved on down the line.
Yes i know about the pain,
Tears are gonna fall,
Just like rain.
Chorus:
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
You got to go on,
It's just the dark before the dawn,
Shine it on.
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Shine it on, oh baby.
Shine it on, shine it on, shine it on,
Shine it on (repeat and fade).

Well now times got hard
And i didn't draw the card i needed
So i proceeded to bang it on down the line
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room won't you let me ride?
Just as far as you're going
And lord knowing i'll be much obliged.

There was a light rain falling
I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
Feeling a chill when over the hill
Came a brand new baby blue cadillac
Stop on a dime
I threw my guitar in the back and i climbed inside
Big blue eyes said "hey boy don't you want a ride?"

I said to birmingham, alabama,
Or to nashville tennessee will do just fine with me.
Don't you know what i mean?
I'm coming from new orleans.
Now hey, [na na.]
Mama won't you let me ride?

Well now black fur coat, diamond ring
Shining like something i ain't ever seen.
My old guitar and a roadside bar.
Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
There was a honky tonk jukebox, hardwood floor
She said "i ain't ever seen nothing like this before."
I said, "that's all right, mama won't you let me ride?"

On down to birmingham, alabama,
Or to nashville tennessee wiil do fine with me.
Don't you know what i mean?
I'm coming from new orleans.
Now hey, [na na.]
Mama won't you let me ride?

Chorus:
Ain't that low down, low down dirty mean
The way you've been treatin' me,
Beats all i've ever seen.
I loaned you my brand new car,
Said you was goin' for a sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,
I don't know if you are dead or alive,
I got on the telephone this morning,
Put the word out on the street,
And i heard you was down in memphis,
With a big man in the driver's seat.
Chorus
Got me a hidin' in the bushes,
Peekin' in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know you're in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe you've got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
Chorus
Makin' my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby i'm runnin' out of patience,
And you are runnin' out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,
If i ever turn on you baby,
You're gonna be in some kind of fix.
Chorus (twice)
Yeah so low down, i know, low down dirty mean, ahhhhhh!

Well, it's rainin' out the window.
With no sadness on your face.
As you're cleaning out your closet.
Throw your clothes around the place.

I can't stand to see you leaving.
I'm not ashamed to beg you to stay.
I can't lock the door and keep you.
I won't stand in your way.

Guess i've got to let you go.
But there's just one thing you should know.

It ain't over, it ain't over yet.
You might walk away but you won't forget.
I'll never stop loving you.
My mind is set.
So do what you gotta do yeah.
Cause it ain't over yet.

Guess i should have seen it coming.
But i can see it clearly now.
Gonna change my way of livin'.
Try to get you back somehow.
Some night when you're lonely.
And your thoughts have turned to me.
Just when you least expect it.
I'll come walking through your dreams.

So go on take that taxi ride.
Cause i know time is on my side.

It ain't over, it ain't over yet.
You might walk away but you won't forget.
I'll never stop loving you.
My mind is set.
Do what you gotta do baby.
It ain't over....

Pocket full of money
Got a big smile all on my face
Boy and i can charm the diamonds
Right off the back of a rattlesnake

But you've got me so confused
Cut me cold as ice
I ain't used to losing
Guess i'm playing with loaded dice

Well the first time that i saw you
Said you'd just dumped your old man
Then the next time you was dealin
Must have dealt me a losing hand
Woman i tried to win your love
Just can't pay the price
Keep throwing in sevens
I keep on playing with loaded dice

Well i thought i was a hustler
But you sent me back to school
Keep playing some new game
Making up your own rules
Must be some kind of crazy
Let you fool me twice
I don't know why
I keep playing with loaded dice

Well, tonight i hit the jackpot
I was shining like a diamond ring
Lady luck was smiling
And the old snake charmer was doing his thing

You saw the tables turn
Man it sure felt nice
Now we see who's laughing
Now we see who's playing with the loaded dice

Girl you ain't like nothing
I've ever seen before
Keep throwing in aces
I keep coming back for more
Guess i should have listened
But you can't give a fool advice
Don't know why i keep playing with loaded dice.
