First Albu

Words and music by billy gibbons, bill ham, frank beard.

I woke up this mornin' with these certified blues,
They sure been stalkin' me 'round.
So down tonight i couldn't tie my shoes.
They about to drop me in the ground.

If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

I've been livin' here, way down south,
A place that i wanna stay.
Been workin' hard just to feed my mouth.
Just can keep them blues away.

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.

You say you're feelin' bad and you don't know why.
You're broke and your woman been ly'n'.
And just one thing before i'm fired,
The blues have just been certified.

If i could shake loose i would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

Woman, grab your children, run and hide.
Don't let it catch up with you.
You gotta fight it to stay alive,
And if it gets you, man, you're through.

It smells so rotten and rank.
Well, everybody calls it the squank.

It's sick, depressin, gettin' bigger all the time.
Don't help it any way you can.
It's grey and brown and sometimes lime
And it's spreadin' all over the land.

And soon we'll be all breathin' out of tanks
If somethin' ain't done about the squank.

The meanest thing the world's ever bred
By me and you and my kinfold too.
A monster can't live unless it's fed,
And it's being fed by me and you.
And soon it's gonna leave the world blank,
And we'll all be erased by the squank.

My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
Gotta have that brown sugar.
Man it's just gonna change my life.
Man, i gotta have that brown sugar.
Man, it's just gonna make me feel so right.

There's something make me feel good,
And it's gonna change my life.
There's something make me feel good,
And it's gonna change my life.
I gotta have some of that brown sugar,
Gotta try it before i die.

Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me.
Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me.
Gotta have some of that brown sugar
As long as that's gonna set me free.

Man, there's somethin' make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life.
Man, there's somethin' make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life.
I gotta have some of that brown sugar,
Gotta try it before i die.

Words and music by billy gibbons.

Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin' in my life?
Neighbor, neighbor, you've been talkin' to my wife,
Tellin' her you seen me
Runnin' wild the other night,
Runnin' wild the other night.

A neighbor, neighbor, theres's always one in every crowd.
A neighbor, neighbor, tellin' lies and talkin' loud.
You better watch your step now.
You might fall off your cloud.
You might fall off your cloud.

Now i was walking down a dusty road
When along came a neighbor of mine.
He saw me walkin' with my head hung down,
He just had to stop and pass the time.
Neighbor, neighbor, floatin' in the salty brine.
Floatin' in the salty brine.

Words and music by billy gibbons.

Well, i'm tryin', yes i'm tryin just to get a line on you
Where you been?
But i'm havin' trouble puttin' a find on you
I'm wearin' thin
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to saving all that stuff for me.

You been hidin', yes your're hidin', you been stayin' out on me.
Sneakin' 'round.
Me and you ain't workin' out just like we oughta be.
You've got me down.
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to be saving all that stuff for me.

I'm tired of foolin' around with you, and sittin' here alone.
It's on my mind.
I think it's time for me to find a new tree of my own.
It's plantin' time.
Anything you wanna do is cool with me.
I don't care who shakes your tree.
