1. _ Leavin'
Transcribed by paul gongola
Mama stood cryin' at the back door
Papa's lacin' on his leavin' shoes
Little joe's blowin' on the horn outdoors
I've seen enough, i can't take no more
And i'm leavin'
Might go to philadelphia, pa
Might wind up in boston, i just can't say
Got my axe in one hand
Got my greyhound ticket in the other hand
And i'm leavin'
I tell you i'm leavin'
Gonna play my blues
Yes i'm leavin'
Got nothing to lose
Well, i'm dying to get the hell out of here
Right away
Mama stood cryin' at the back door
Papa's lacin' on his leavin' shoes
Little joe's blowin' on the horn outdoors
I've seen enough, i can't take no more
And i'm leavin'
I said i'm leavin'
Gonna play my guitar
I'm leavin'
Don't care if i'm a big star
I'm leavin' this old ghetto
Right away, right away

Milene music, inc.
Ridin' in a long gray limousine.
Sittin' in a pair of hundred dollar jeans.
Tryin' to talk sense to a rock'n'roll queen.
Damn, best kinda livin' anybody ever seen.
Oh, angeline.
Chorus:
Lookin' at the bright lights, searchin' for the sliver screen.
I never seen a woman who could look so good,
And be so doggone mean. yeah.
Oh, midnight struttin' in new york city.
Midnight woman, she is lookin' so pretty.
Her little heart beat in rhythm with the world.
She used to be her mama's little girl.
Hey, hey angeline.
Chorus
Whoa, just a game that she loves to play,
Leavin' broken hearts all along the way.
She's got friends that she ain't never used.
She's winnin' now but she's bound to lose.
Oh, angeline.

4. _ Hell & High Water
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
We've been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as we've got a quarter between us all,
We're gonna have money to spend, oh.
Kicked down the doors in new orleans,
We got busted at grove hill where nobody goes,
And long bob drove us to the badlands,
You can bet your ass we're gonna make it down to tomorrow night's show.
Chorus:
We took time by the horns,
Cryin' out loud,
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd,
Been a million miles,
On a lost highway,
They might name a street after us one of these days.
Oh, we've seen the good times, we've seen the bad.
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had,
And the stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill,
But we ain't changed our ways, and i guess we never will.

5. _ Famous Last Words
Famous last words
By dickey betts, mike lawler and johnny cobb
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc., pangola publishing company and
Milene music, inc.
Famous last words, i'll be right back in a little while,
I'll be home early, famous last words.
Here comes the dawn, got to be headin' home in a little while,
She'll be up singing along with the birds,
Still believing famous last words.
Chorus:
After all is said and done,
You know that i would never do you no wrong,
I never lied, never even tried,
Even in famous last words.
She sits there waiting, anticipating his return,
There all alone, if only the phone would ring,
Telling her only one thing, famous last words.

6. _ Never Knew How Much (i Needed You)
By gregg allman
(c) 1980, 1981, 1994 arista records, inc.
Transcribed by sam carle
Time and time again i've felt these wall's of plaster,
Closing in,
And more than once i've felt that lonely lonely feeling,
Wondering why and where i've been,
Just about the time, i think i can't hold on,
You're always there to keep me hanging on and i say,
I never knew how much a man needed a woman
(no i never)
I never knew how much a boy needed a girl
(needed a girl)
I never knew how much i needed you
Day after day i join the rat race,
Tryin' to make the most of it,
I keep on falling down down the ladder,
Still trying to stay on top of it,
Just when i was sure,
Nothing could get no better,
Oh i realize,
I still love you more than ever,
(chorus)
Today i watch the sun set on the freeway,
Strangled on the poison air,
But miles beyond, on the other end,
I know, you'll always be waiting there,
Girl you treat me,
With your kindest hand,
And in my heart, in my mind,
And i'm so glad
(chorus)

7. _ I Got A Right To Be Wrong
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Oh-uh-oh, oooh.
I got a right to be wrong.
I got a right to be lonely when you're gone.
Whoa, i'll get out around, tear up my own home town.
Get mocked up, locked up, wind up in the lost and found,
Oh, i got a right to be wrong.
Well it's so easy to give advice,
When you ain't the one who got to pay the price.
Sit up there on your hill telling me i got to sink or swim.
Well it might thrill you, to make me want to kill ya,
I can't believe you're leavin' me for him,
I got a right to be wrong.
Chorus:
Oh, loan me a dollar and watch me follow you around,
You got all the moves, you're puttin' me through school.
Oh, i give you my best, but i guess i'm still your fool,
Babe, i got you down in my song.
I got a right to be wrong.
I've been con-flicted, e-victed, re-stricted,
Served with a letter sent to whom it may concern,
Still around lord, i'm still in town,
A lesson hard learned nearly got me down,
It's a cryin' shame, you don't even know my name,
A low down lonesome song,
I got a right to be wrong.
Chorus
I got a right to be wrong.

8. _ Mystery Woman
By gregg allman and daniel toler
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc.
Well i don't know, if i dreamed it.
I don't know, might be real.
Lord, it's so strange, how one will find another,
But i keep on searchin', cause i know you're out there,
And all i gotta do is open my eyes and see her - the mystery woman.
Cause i'm confused, but only sometimes.
Patiently waiting, baby just for you.
But i'll be leavin', babe, i won't go under.
All i gotta do is open my eyes and see her - a mystery woman.
If i have to chase her, all around the country.
Well i'm bound to find her somewhere, and that's no lie.
Ain't it strange, how one will find another,
But i'll keep on searchin', cause i know you're out there,
All i gotta do is open my eyes and see her - a mystery woman.
All i gotta do, is open my eyes and see you - my mystery woman.
Hey, yeah - my mystery woman.

9. _ Straight From The Heart
Transcribed by paul gongola
You've heard every line before
My life's a revolving door
With no way out and no way in
You know just what's on my mind
Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
Straight from the heart
Baby my love
Your eyes can't tell a lie
I can see what you're feeling inside
Don't give up before we start
'cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I know what they're telling you
I wish i could say that it's not true
Love is so hard to find
But i never took the time
I never let you in
Please let me try again
Straight from the heart
Your eyes can't tell a lie
I can see what you're feeling inside
Don't give up before we start
'cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I thought i knew about love
But i didn't know at all
Didn't take the time to see
Until i started to fall
Straight from the heart

10. _ The Judgement
Transcribed by paul gongola.
The words are the thunder
The thought is the lightning
The telling of the tale is the storm
The defendant must be guilty
As he waits impatiently
As the wooden stake is driven
And the angel sounds the horn
The cornered lion is not within the realm of reason
Fear is like the cracking of the lash
You want to run, you want to fight
Lightning flashes in the night
You finally turn away to hide your face
As the judges file in to take their places
You got to hold your ground
Hold your ground like a man
Sometimes you've just got to hold your ground
When the truth has finally been tasted
You can tell them all their time has not been wasted
You got to hold your ground
Hold your ground like a man
Sometimes you've just got to hold your ground
When the truth has finally been tasted
You can tell them all their time has not been wasted

11. _ Brothers Of The Road
Transcribed by paul gongola
Silent shadows of the night
Faded with the morning light
We just wrote another song
Maybe a word or two is wrong
There's so much that could be said
It's hard to write it in a line
But when the final word is read
Maybe something could be said
For all the brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don't lose we're bound to win
Somehow they gave it all a name
Just like a southern hurricane
We play our music like a storm
They say a brand new sound was born
We're all brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don't lose we're bound to win
Some of us fell along the way
We came together, not too proud to pray
But the music must go on
So there's no one left out there all alone
We're just brothers of the road
Casting shadows in the night
Big wheels rolling on and on
But everything's gonna be all right
