Live At The Agora Ballroom Atlanta, Georgia April 20, 1979

Well some people bitch, lord, some people holler,
About the long days on the road.
Each man can do just what he wants,
But we've all got ot pull our load.
As for myself, i'm gonna take the highway,
It ain't as bad as they say.
Give me wine, women, whiskey, and rock 'n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

Chorus:
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
I've been all throughout the south land.
Keep moving on down the line.
I ought to settle down some place,
But i just can't find the time.
As for myself, gonna take this highway,
It ain't as bad as they say.
Give me wine, whiskey, women, and rock 'n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

Chorus:
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
Chorus:
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
Chorus:
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.

My horse is kicking dust up off the trail,
I'm just getting back from a trip to hell.
My six gun she's stapped by my side,
Thunder is the horse that i ride.
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.


Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose.
Running, running from the noose.

Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they feel like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money i earn?
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.


Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose.
I'm a bounty hunter, i'll hunt you down, yeah, i will.

Lead break

Did you know $500 will get your head blown off?
It will....ha, ha, ha

Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they fell like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money i earn?
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.

Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose,
(repeat),
I'm a bounty hunter going to hunt you down.

Just one more morning i had to wake up with the blues.
Pulled myself out of bed, put on my walking shoes.
Went up on the mountain to see what i could see.
The whole world was falling right down in front of me.


Chorus:
'cause i'm hung up on my dreams i'll never see.
Yeah babe, oh help me babe.
Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

Pull myself together, put on a new face,
Climb down off the hilltop baby,
And get back in the race.

'cause i'm hung up on dreams i'll never see,
Yeah babe, oh help me babe,
Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

I'm going to tell you about it here,
I can't remember how old i was,
When mama said to me,
If it makes you happy, son,
Then be what you want to be.
Now, lord, that my arms they're reaching for the sky.
The people i thought were my friends are starting to wonder why,
And i say


Chorus:
Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I'll be around if you need a helping hand.

I've traveled around,
Lord, playing my songs almost for free,
If you're wondering what it's worth, it means the world to me.
Now all they do is turn their heads when i walk by,
I can't see why they don't understand, hell, they just wondering why,
And i say


Chorus:
Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I'll be around if you need a helping hand.

The time has come for me to say these words to all of you.
Y'all always trusted me before, well i am doing what i got to do,
You talk about me behind my back and play your foolish games.
But when it comes to real trust, baby,
It's worth much more than fame.

Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I'll be around if you need a helping hand.
(repeat)

Well here comes the story baby that i want you all to know,
'bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking' my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.

Chorus:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
I left my woman in jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and lord knows i had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldn't take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.

Chorus:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Now when i left this town it was for her and for me.
Now i'm home all alone, with a paper that says i'm free.
I guess i'll hit the road again, and do what i do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.

Chorus:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Chorus:
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Now tell me people, who's to blame?
