1. _ Moon Pie
Well who you callin' moon pie, my real name is richard
I live in a little town you've probably never been to before
There's a post office surrounded with gardenias
And a pair of mud flaps waggling at my door
I don't know what i want to say but somebody's got to help me
Nobody knows i'm here
No please don't call me moon pie, my real name is richard
My identity will disappear

2. _ You Get Me High
Let's have another joint on me
Let's get as gone as we can be
And we'll float around the ceiling
Cause baby you get me high
Let's have a six pack of beer
Sit and watch the walls disappear
And we'll laugh and talk for hours
Oh baby you get me high
Let's smoke a pack of cigarettes
Hey how 'bout a menthol?
You haven't had one of those yet
Yeah we'll laugh, and cough for hours
Oh baby you get me high
Yeah baby you get me high
Oh baby you get me high

3. _ Peace In L.a. (peace Mix)
We need peace in l.a., what happened was wrong
We all feel betrayed, but we got to be strong
If the powers that be let evil go free
You must understand, don't play into their hand
We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.
Don't need beating and shouting, don't need burning and looting
Tonight we all pray, that our children are safe
There's hurt and frustration, there's a hard realization
But how can we help if we steal from ourselves?
We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.
We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.
Stay cool, don't be a fool
Stay cool, don't be a fool

4. _ I Can't Fight It
Well i know i'm only one in a hundred
And i know that you've heard this before
And i know that there's been many others
And no doubt that there'll be many more
But this dream has become an obsession
Cause i've held it inside for so long
All my friends say i should use discretion
But i know i'm just not that strong
And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do
Cause you look so completely inviting
Standing there with your tongue in your cheek
Yes your lips are so fuckin' exciting
I can feel myself weak in the knees
And i know that you might put me under
Yes i know that i might get the squeeze
But i really can't think of no other
Cause i know what i want and i need
And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do
Cause you look so completely inviting
Standing there with your tongue in your cheek
Yes your lips are so fuckin' exciting
I can feel myself weak in the knees
And i know that you might put me under
Yes i know that i might get the squeeze
But i really can't think of no other
Cause i know what i want and i need
And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do . . . .

5. _ Kings Highway (live)
When the time gets right
I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far away
From trouble my love
Under a big ol' sky
Out in a field of green
There's gotta be something
Left for us to believe
Oh, i await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the kings highway
No you can't hide out
In a six gun town
We wanna hold our heads up,
But we gotta stay down
I don't wanna end up
In a room all alone
Don't wanna end up someone
That i don't even know
Lover, i await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the kings highway

She graduated high school i bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the army

As the sun beats down on casa dega
And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night
But night is more than just a night in casa dega

In the past in the present and for the future
Oh honey now i think i'm starting to believe the things that i've heard

10. _ Can't Get Her Out
I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Everybody'd try to tell
But no i wouldn't listen
I'd go ahead, put my arm around her
I had to squeeze her, i had to kiss her
Now i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Oh i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
If i said go out she'd daydream
Didn't mean a thing to me
It's the kind of thing i thought might never happen
You see i thought i was invincible, i couldn't see why
You can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
No can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
It's the kind of thing boy, you think could never happen
My friends would say, "stay 'way from her"
I said, "boy, have you kissed it? boy, have you seen her?"
I could let her hear their words
No i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
Can't get her out of my mind

11. _ Turning Point
Black cloud on the sun, i turned my collar up
And walked from your door up to the county road
Oh yeah, what luck, the timing's been rough on us
Right then, oh boy, we hit the turning point
Three or four years or more my life was on the floor
Blind faith, hangin' in, hungry and tired of it
Oh yeah, better luck--it takin' over us
But right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
She's had to follow me up and down these empty streets
Whiskey on her breath tryin' to give the world a test
Oh yeah, better luck--it takin' over us
Right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
We've hit the turning point

12. _ Don't Do Me Like That (mudcrutch Version)
I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride.
Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go.
Then he said, "you better watch your step, or your gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.
Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside.
Don't do me like that.
Dont' do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i need you baby?
Don't do me like that.
'cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, "love doesn't last that long."
I got this feelin' inside night and day
Wait a minute
Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size.
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
I just might need you honey.
Don't do me like that.
Wait!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby,
Don't, don't, don't...
No!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.

13. _ I'm Tired Joey Boy (live)
I'm tired joey boy while you're out with the sheep
My life is so troubled i can't go to sleep
And i would walk myself out but the streets are so dark
I will wait 'til the morning and walk in the park
Yeah life is so simple when one isn't home
And i'm never complaining when there's work to be done
Oh i'm tired joey boy with the makings of men
I would like to be cheerful again
And ambition will take you and ride you too far
And conservatism will bring you to boredom once more
So go out by the river watch the stream flow
Recall all those dreams you once used to know
The ones you've forgotten that took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner
Yeah the love of the simple is all that i need
I have no time for schism or lovers of greed
Go up to the mountain go up to the glen
Where silence will touch you and heartbreak will mend

14. _ Depot Street
I live on the west side, by the county reservoir
And she lives down on depot street, behind the city hall
Behind the city hall
Her father's name is macintosh, her mother's name is pearl
And they live down on depot street, she's my little girl
She's my little girl
Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall
We ain't got no money, we don't have no car
We stay down on depot street, just dancin' in the park
Dancin' in the park
And her sister doesn't like me, but i don't really care
I know the only reason is she wants me for herself
She wants me for herself
Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall
She's my baby, she's my girl
And we ain't been to college, we both quit high school
There was way too many people there makin' way too many rules
Makin' way too many rules
So we got no education, but we don't care at all
Cause it don't mean much on depot street, behind the city hall
Behind the city hall
Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall

Can't you see i love you?
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause i don't have a wooden heart

17. _ Up In Mississippi Tonight
Sally's up in mississippi tonight
With a man she hardly knows
Sally's wearin' brand new clothes
Opportunity don't knock twice
So sally said, "bye, bye"
I hope she is alright
Up in mississippi tonight
Sally left before the sun could rise
When the city man came to town
She turned his head around
It was love with just one look
When she saw the size of his pocketbook
Oh sally's doin' fine
She's up in mississippi tonight
But there's a mountain boy who's gonna remember you
And sally you're one old girl he hates to lose
But you did what you had to do
You know i'm happy for you
But sometimes please think of me up there in biloxi
Sally's up in mississippi tonight
Stayin' in a big hotel
Rich man payin' the bill
Drivin' a brand new car
Drinkin' in fancy bars
Oh sally's havin' a time
She's up in mississippi tonight
Sally's up in mississippi tonight
Sally's up in mississippi tonight
Sally's up in mississippi tonight

18. _ The Image Of Me
Yes i know she's the life of the party
And without her things here would die
Oh but don't you be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times, she knows how to cry
She drinks and she talks just a little too long
And with her bride gone she'll tag along with any old crowd
Yes i know i'm to blame and i feel so ashamed
That i've made her the image of me
Well i met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
And she loved me 'til i dragged her down
Then she gave up and drifted away
She drinks and she talks just a little too long
And with her bride gone she'll tag along with any old crowd
Yes i know i'm to blame and i feel so ashamed
That i've made her the image of me

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive
I got a job, i work hard
These days the money don't go very far
It's hard enough keeping gas in the car
But sometimes we ride around
She plays the radio up load
If i was sad, well, i'm happy now
Yeah and it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side

20. _ Down The Line
She met this guy, she thought he was kinda good lookin'
Yeah she met this guy, she thought he was funny sometimes
His mom and daddy had a little money tucked away
They were someday bound to come down the line, to come down the line
He had a job but you could not call it working
She had cuban boyfriend out of town
She'd do anything in the world not to hurt him on down the line
Imagine that, on down the line
Well the old man caught her and he moved out last summer
Yeah she was down for awhile but she came around with time
She met a guy at work she thought was kinda good lookin'
Yeah on down the line
Down the line...

I saw you walking down the street with him
You know i almost could've died
I didn't know you had a second friend
I never thought you woulda' lied
I guess somebody else has knocked upon your door
See somebody else's socks lying on your floor
And i saw you on street with him

Cracking up getting ready to go
Had enough i can't take any more
No pills that i can take
This is too real and there ain't no escape
It scares the daylight making nightmares
I'm chancing i'm nervous
And everybody's all around me
Shaking hands and saying howdy
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
Cracking up like a worn out shoe
I ain't wet but the world leaking through
I'd run but i'd find no place
I'd laugh but it's wrecking me
Make you shiver make you shake
Make a monster just like an earthquake
Everybody's having fun
I don't know how they can carry on
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
The dead of nighttime the crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If i were a gun then i would shoot
I tear the head out by the root
I'd make a knife out of an ocean
All that sea in an ocean of emotion
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more

The damage you've done to me
Honey there's no reason for me to hold a grudge
Money isn't everything, but it's a lot to me
And i know sure as there's feathers on a chicken

Make me feel funny honey it's dark in the sky

31. _ Since You Said You Loved Me
Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss me honey i tremble like a child
And i feel so right since you said you loved me
But the moonlight just ??? shining through
And the night was a ??? shades of blue
And i feel so right since you said you loved me
Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss honey i tremble like a child
And i feel so right since you said you loved me

32. _ Gator On The Lawn
Well i run through the kitchen looked in the paper
Said, "oh god almighty, mama, there it says a gator," come on, come on
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn
Well you dropped your groceries in the kitchen sink
Went to work and made the bathroom stink, come on, come on
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn
Get with it mike!
Well i jumped out of bed run across the street
Asked my neighbor said, "where's my meat?
I had a red raw steak can't find it anywhere"
He looked at me and said, "what the hell do i care?" come on
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn
Yeah i run in the kitchen looked in the paper
Said, "oh god almighty, mama, there it says a gator," come on, come on
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn
Well every other day i got a gator on my lawn
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn

33. _ You Come Through
Baby, baby i don't understand
I hope you never take a swing across town
That would leave me stranded
Oh, little honey pie
There's a lot of people lonely
I've had a few of them scratchin' my back
Wantin' to control me
And they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when i need you baby you come through
When i need you baby you come through
Oh baby nothin' will console me
I could use somebody scratchin' my back
Honey will you hold me?
Cause i could never quite believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when i need you baby you come through
When i need you baby you come through
Heaven knockin' on your door
Oh what's the matter baby
I guess that's what friends are for
Baby, baby i'm about to lose it
Little girl it isn't easy
Can you get me through it
Cause they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when i need you baby you come through
Oh when i need you baby you come through
When i need you baby you come through
When i need you baby you come through

34. _ Louisiana Rain (original)
Well it was out in california by the san diego sea
That was when i was taken in by an aging boardwalk queen
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys
And i know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing a change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on baker street
And it was just some mean old poison, that i took up my nose
Thank god for a love that follows the angels and the whores
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
Well i never will get over this english refugee
Singing to the jukebox in the all night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing the change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

35. _ Make That Connection
Oh what would i do
Oh what would i do babe
Honey i have this feeling
It's never ever ever explained
Yeah i'm afraid a part of my heart
Would always feel misunderstood babe
I would never know honey
I never meant to drive you away
What's wrong?
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
What would i give if i could have you now
Baby what would i give to see your smiling face again
You know there's nothing i would not do
No river i would not swim, no mountain i would not climb baby
If i could have you right here once again
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
Tell me baby is it something i might have said?
Is it something i might have done wrong to change your mind?
Tell me baby is it something i've have said?
Is it something i could've done?
Honey somehow let me right all your wrongs
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
Oh what would i give if you would tell me just one thing
Honey what would i give if you would stroke my hand with your brow
Or whisper sweet things into my ear i would smile like a baby
I would be happy like a child if i could have you right here, right here, right here
Right here with me now
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, yes i do
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, what's wrong?
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

36. _ I Don't Know What To Say To You
I got a bottle in a paper bag, i can hear a little country rag
Dollar down, dollar a day, yeah i got a little one-eyed play
I opened up the windows, yeah i've been caught cold
Here, have a little no doze, can you hear me in the headphones?
Road turkey's in the lobby, baby this is just a hobby
Just a little thin report, yeah i've been caught short
But i can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you
Dancin' in the l.a. rain, midnight blue and tangerine
Here, let me hold a cigarette, baby i just got time to bet now
I know it's just casino talk but i hear you got a three foot walk
Flowin' cold and hot, bankin' on a long shot at a transcendental continental
The initials on the door, baby are you keepin' score?
Oh i can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you
Phoenix stars in the saddle, tryin' to deal with ???? cattle
Told proud george to call the gunner, scooter ruby'll put him under
Solo jack and gypsy jade, runnin' through the everglades
Tryin' to catch that high plain, get'em touch of fair exchange
Chinese kite, folding chairs, lift on where you take the stairs
Royal crown is on my head, you know i don't really care
I can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you

37. _ God's Gift To Man
Well i met him in the navy
He was the head of the class
She was a cute little thing
He liked the way she shook her glass
And they went off to texas
And they bought some land yeah
And they settled in a hobo
Home by a taco stand
He was doin' things he didn't understand
There was no way to exlain it
She was god's gift to man
Well he got a promotion
And he bought himself a color tv
Had the cable put in
And they watched a round of jeopardy
And they sat out in the evening
And they watched the sun go down
And everything they did
They were livin' on the outside of town
Well the time went by
That he didn't understand
She was god's gift to man
Yeah baby tell me, tell me real good
Don't you know that we're livin' just like a young boy should?
Well she went off to houston
Where she was livin' in sin
Well he built an office building
But nobody moved in
She wound up in el paso
On the streets again
It was hard to take it
But sometimes you just can't win
It was after a little way
That he didn't understand
And couldn't understand that
She was god's gift to man
Well i seen her on tv just a couple of nights ago
She was a doin' a commercial
Smilin' with some ivory soap
Well i knew inside her heart was black as coal
There ain't no way to replace the amount of lovin' that little girl stole
Yeah one day she got it comin'
And she won't understand her niche
She's god's gift to man
Yeah i've been doin' things that i don't understand
Yeah she's god's gift to man
Yeah, yeah ,yeah
Alright, alright, alright
