Long Road to Memphis

It's a long road to Memphis
guitar in my hand
some of us won't make it
but we do the best we can
It's a long road to Memphis
I wanna hear it all
we've got our bags all packed up
just waitin for that call
Driving in the sunrise, playing in the rain
listenin to the stories, hearing them complain
Drunkards yelling freebird, play it without shame-
that's the price you gotta pay to get that Memphis fame
Bright lights and city nights, some will understand
life ain't all that easy tryin to be a guitar man
Waitin for the band, I hope that they ain't drunk
it's 10 to 9 I'm worried, I ain't had the best of luck
Lookin for the drummer, he's powdering his nose
says he knows about half the set, he's ready for the show
Packin up and driving home, asleep behind the wheel
spend all my time just driving, rooms ain't in the deal
It's a long road to Memphis
guitar in my hand
some of us won't make it
but we do the best we can
It's a long road to Memphis
I wanna hear it all
we've got our bags all packed up
just waitin for that call
Playin songs I don't remember, doin things that I regret
waitin for that last call as I finish up my set
Lookin for the girl I saw last time around
she probably don't remember, I think her hair was brown
Cheap guitars and empty bars, play em without shame
that's the price you gotta pay to get that Memphis fame
It's a long road to Memphis
guitar in my hand
some of us won't make it
but we do the best we can
It's a long road to Memphis
I wanna hear it all
we've got our bags all packed up
just waitin for that call
Waitin for the call
yeah waitin for the call

4th of July

That woman she died on the 4th of July
she died on the 4th of July
Never got a chance to say goodbye
That woman of mine she ain't never comin back
that woman, never comin back
at least now I know where she's at
That woman of mine, she's crazy as can be
that woman, crazy as can be
lightin up just like a christmas tree
That woman of mine, she liked to see me down
that woman loved to see me down
sometimes I wish that woman's still around
That woman of mine, she liked to sing the blues
that woman loved to sing the blues
when she died that's all she had to lose
That woman of mine, she still haunts me all the time
that woman haunts me all the time
did everything I could to keep my mind
That woman of mine she ain't ever comin back
that woman, never comin back
at least now I know where she's at
That woman she died on the 4th of July
she died on the 4th of July
I never got a chance to say goodbye
never got a chance to say goodbye
never got a chance to say goodbye

Always Gonna Be Here

Sometimes I'm sittin
and I get to thinkin
that this world, yeah it's too much for me
But I get to playin
and I remember
that this world, yeah it's just right for me
You know I'm always gonna be here-
happiness or misery
Sometimes I'm lonely
and no one's out there
who can hear my desperate cries at night
But I keep on playin
Said I remember
I'm not alone, there's others with the light
You know we're always gonna be here
never givin up our fight
Sometimes it's crazy
and the skies are crying
Oh these times, they're coming on too fast
But the winds keep changing
and we keep on singing
becuase our lives, we know they're gonna last
You know we're always gonna be here
long after all these days have past
I said we're always gonna be here
long after all these days have past
Oh yeah we're always gonna be here
long after all these days have past

Give me a reason to live
cuz I don't have much to give
I've been livin life too fast
gotta make it last
give me a reason to live
Give me a reason to love
pray to to the lord up above
I've been dealing my own hands
and playin one night stands
give me a reason to love
Give me a reason to die
don't wanna break down and cry
I've been doing my time
since lovin you's a crime
give me a reason to die

Well that woman she left me, she done tore me down
woman she left me, she done tore me down
when I need some lovin
she won't dog me around
Well that woman got evil runnin through her veins
woman got evil, runnin through her veins
when she needs some lovin
won't see her again
I said that woman's got evil runnin through her veins
oh that woman, that woman she's got evil runnin through her veins
same old song and dance now
don't wanna see your face again
Well that woman be leavin, middle of the night
woman be leavin, middle of the night
won't be home till mornin
I don't think that's right
Well, woman and whiskey, they don't me right
woman and whiskey, they don't treat me right
both them leave me lonely
middle of the night
Well that woman's got evil runnin through her veins
oh that woman, that woman she's got evil runnin through her veins
same and song and dance now
don't ever want to hear your name
