1. _ Temptation Is A Gun
Transcribed by ed luskey
Like the hopeful dreams of many, he had everything and more,
A lovely wife and children, all the things worth fighting for.
He knows, there was still, still, something missing in his life.
Though he promised to be faithful, he was good at telling lies.
He had an eye for young girls, he would steal some on the side.
Oh no, he just could not be satisfied.
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun.
He met her at a night club, on the other side of town.
Somehow he could not resist her, she's the best he'd ever found.
She knows, she found her ticket to the other side.
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun.
His foolish ways seem harmless, but his world was so divine,
Cause at home they know his secrets, they've heard all his alibis.
As he tries to face his feelings, he can't justify his crimes,
Now comes the final ending, of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside.
He can kiss it all good-bye.
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun.
Oh, ummmm, ya baby, ahhhh temptation is a gun.
Temptation is a gun, all or nothing, all or nothing.

2. _ What's Done Is Done
Transcribed by ed luskey
I couldn't stay around and finish high school,
I had to hit the streets as soon as i could.
Now i'm runnin', always runnin',
As i turned out the way they said i would.
Daddy told me all about chasing women,
Watched my momma lose her mind and all her hope.
Now the only thing that's left of my pathetic life,
Is dangling at the end of a rope.
What's done is done,
Had me way too much fun,
Now i'm runnin' from a man with a gun,
Looking back over my shoulder, but i won't get much older
What's done is done,
Lord, what's done is done.
Started hanging with the wrong kind of people,
Fooling with the wrong kind of folks.
Made my living doing things, got me locked up in chains,
As i went the way they said i'd go.
Ahhh, what's done is done,
Had me way too much fun,
Now i'm runnin' from a man with a gun,
Looking back over my shoulder, but i won't get much older
What's done is done,
Had me way to much fun,
Ohhh, runnin' from a man with a gun,
Looking back over my shoulder, but i won't get much older
What's done is done,
Oh what's done is done
Hey, ya, done is done,
Ohh what's done is done

3. _ Soulshine
Transcribed by sean carpenter
When you can't find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
You feel like you've lost you're way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Well you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my daddy used to say.
[chorus]
He used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Hey now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometime,
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
I grew up thinkin' that i had it made,
Gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man,
Make him feel so alone.
Now and then i feel a cold wind,
Blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said,
He said "boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"
[chorus]
Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
A woman too, god knows, she can feel like this.
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
[chorus]
Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Lord now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
Oh, it's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

4. _ All Night Train
Transcribed by ed luskey
Last night sorta got so insane,
As i went ridin' on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
Took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Roll on, roll on,
Take me where i can ease my pain.
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets,
Putting money in sin.
When the mornin' comes not a nickel to my name,
Threw it all away on the all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
I woke up late yesterday afternoon,
My eyeballs feeling like two balloons.
The doctor say things ain't never gonna change,
Till you stop riding that all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Took a little trip to keep from going insane,
Spent the rest of my life on the all night train.
All night train.
All night train.
All night train.

6. _ Mean Woman Blues
Transcribed by ed luskey
Well i love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Well i love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Treat me so bad, but i love you anyway.
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Call out your name, wring my hands and cry
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord i got 'em, mean woman blues.
Well, i love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Well, i love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Don't care about me but love you just the same.
Now, someday baby, take you by the hand,
Yeah, someday baby, take you by the hand,
You be my lovin' child and i'll be your lovin' man.
Yeah, you got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord i got 'em, mean woman blues.
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord i got 'em, mean woman blues.

7. _ No One To Run With
By betts and prestia
(c) 1994 sony music entertainment, inc.
Everybody wants to know where jimmy has gone
He left town, i doubt if he's coming back home
Well tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life
[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again
Don't know where i'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show
[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
I think jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here
I don't know where he's at but i'm sure that he's ok
Now i realize what jimmy was trying to say
[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

8. _ Sailin' 'cross The Devil's Sea
Transcribed by ed luskey
Lately i don't know where i went wrong,
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
My whole world became another place.
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.
Next thing i know i had a key that unlocked her door.
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
The beginning of the end of my happy home.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
Just can't seem to remember who i bought and sold.
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.
I'll be damned if i just don't feel i'm growin' old.
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
Set me up with pain and woe and, i swear it won't seem to stop.
If i could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
Swear i'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.

11. _ Change My Way Of Living
Transcribed by ed luskey
I've got to change my way of living,
Cause trouble's all that i can see.
I gotta change my way of living,
Lord trouble's all that i can see.
My life is in such a mess,
There ain't no one to blame but me.
My good girl tried to tell me,
Wouldn't hear a thing she said.
Lord my good girl tried to tell me,
Wouldn't hear a lonesome thing she said.
Now she's taken her things and left me,
No place for me to lay my head.
Blue, lord i'm blue.
Raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
Cause the blues is all i see.
Blue, lord i'm blue.
Raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
Change my way,
The blues is all i see.
Now when your luck runs out,
That's when your friends will run out too.
Lord, when your luck runs out,
Your fairweather friends will run out too.
You're a very lucky man, lord
If there is just one who'll stand by you.
Blue, lord i'm blue.
The blues raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
Cause the blues is all i see.

14. _ Back Where It All Begins
Say you want to be a rolling stone
Get your sail out in the wind
Get out on the highway and let 'er roll on
Roll on back to someplace you ain't never been
Hey, hey
When i was younger i was hard to hold
Seem like i was always goin'
Which ever way the wind would blow
Now that travelin' spirit calls me again
Callin' me back to where it all begins
Moon rise and sun go down
Turn my whole world around
Little star up in the sky
Tell my sweet baby please don't cry
Please don't cry
(solo)
Moon rise and sun go down
Turn my whole world around
Little star up in the sky
Tell my sweet baby please don't cry
Please don't cry
Travel out across the burnin' sand
Cross the ocean to some distant land
We'll reach the end we'll all be singin'
And we'll all be friends
Back where it all begins
Back where it all begins

16. _ Everybody's Got A Mountain To Climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Transcribed by ed luskey
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes,
Sometimes i know you feel like you can't go on,
Need somebody help you get back home,
Need a friend to help you find your way home.
Reverend pearly brown say there's peace out on the water at night,
Big sun going down, lord it's a pretty sight,
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song,
Listen to it all night long.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.
Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?,
Take away the loser's one last chance?,
Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'.
So, hey let me tell you what i'm talkin' about,
You can't go around with your lip stuck out.
Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad,
Anyway it's the best old life i ever had.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.
