1. _ La Grange
Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that texas town
'bout that shack outside la grange
And you know what i'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls.
Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.
Well, i hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And i hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
But now i might be mistaken.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Have mercy.

5. _ Francine
Got a girl, her name's francine,
Finest thing you ever seen.
And i love her, she's all that i want.
And i need her, she's all that i need.
Well, francine, oh francis, why
Do you love me and make me cry?
How i love her, she's all that i want.
How i need her, she's all that i need.
If i ever caught her with stevie p
I'd throw her back in the penitentiary, now.
And if i caught her with my mother's son
I'll call her daddy and get my gun.
My fancine just turned thirteen,
She's my angelic teenage queen.
And i love her, she's all that i want.
And i need her, she's all that i need.
And i love her, she's all that i want.
And i need her, she's all that i need.
And i love her, she's all that i want.
And i need her, she's all that i need.

I done ran into my baby
And fin'lly found my old blue jean.
I done ran into my baby
And fin'lly found my old blue jean.
Well, i could tell that they was mine
From the oil and the gasoline.
If i ever get back my blue jean,

You know, my baby be bringin' 'em home to me.

7. _ Just Got Paid
I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
Said, i just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin' hard all day,
Just step in my shoes and take my pay.
I was born my papa's son,
When i hit the ground i was on the run.
I had one glad hand and the other behind.
You can have yours, just give me mine.
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night,
Stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right.
I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, i do, man, my bag is full.
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
But it's way ahead of what's second best.

8. _ Back Door Love Affair
Words and music by billy gibbons, bill ham.
Got to have you baby,
Don't you say that you don't care.
Got to have you baby,
Don't you say that you don't care.
Any way you want it baby,
I'll settle for a back door love affair.
I call you on the telephone,
The party says that you ain't there.
I call you on the telephone,
The party says that you ain't there.
When a man asked who's callin',
I said, just tell 'em it's a back door love affair.

9. _ Heard It On The X
Do you remember
Back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country jesus, hillbilly blues,
That's where i learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
In every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw x
Is cuttin' through the air.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, i heard it,
I heard it on the x.
We can all thank doctor b
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'cause if you don't i'm sure you won't
Get to feeling right.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, i heard it,
I heard it on the x.

10. _ Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers
If you see me walkin' down the line
With my fav'rite honky tonk in mind,
Well, i'll be here around suppertime
With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine.
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
The crowd gets loud when the band gets right,
Steel guitar cryin' through the night.
Yeah, try'n to cover up the corner fight
But ev'rything's cool 'cause they's just tight.
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
Ah, play it boy.
The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin.
Lord, i thought the floor was gonna give in.
Soundin' a lot like a house congressional
'cause we're experimental and professional.
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah.
Well, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
